a deafening silence. The incredible feats of building also become explainable and so
does the mystery of why early civilisations like Egypt and Sumer (the land of Shinar in
the Bible) began at the peak of their development and then fell into decay, when the
normal course of evolution is to start at a lower level and slowly advance through
learning and experience. There was clearly an infusion of highly advanced knowledge
that was later lost to most people. In every culture throughout the world are ancient
stories and texts which describe the ‘gods’ who brought this advanced knowledge. This
would again explain the mystery of how the ancients had a phenomenal understanding
of astronomy. There are endless legends all over the world of a time they call the
Golden Age, which was destroyed by cataclysm and the ‘fall of Man’. The ancient
Greek poet, Heslod, described the world before the ‘fall’:
“Man lived like Gods, without vices or passions, vexation or toil. In happy companionship
with divine beings (extraterrestrials?), they passed their days in tranquillity and joy, living
together in perfect equality, united by mutual confidence and love. The Earth was more
beautiful than now, and spontaneously yielded an abundant variety of fruits. Human beings
and animals spoke the same language and conversed with each other (telepathy). Men
were considered mere boys at a hundred years old. They had none of the infirmities of age
to trouble them and when they passed to regions of superior life, it was in a gentle
slumber.” 1
Utopian as that may sound, there are countless stories from every ancient culture
which describe the world in the distant past in those terms. We can recreate that vision
again if only we change the way we think and feel. The most comprehensive accounts
of an advanced race are contained in tens of thousands of clay tablets found in 1850
about 250 miles from Baghdad, Iraq, by an Englishman Sir Austen Henry Layard as he
excavated the site of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria. This was located near the present
Iraqi town of Mosul. Other finds have followed in this region which was once called
Mesopotamia. The original source of this knowledge was not the Assyrians, but the
Sumerians who lived in the same area from, it is estimated, 4,000 to 2,000 BC. I will
refer to the clay tablets, therefore, as the Sumerian Texts or Tablets. They are one of the
greatest historical finds imaginable and yet 150 years after they were discovered they
are still ignored by conventional history and education. Why? Because they demolish
the official version of events. The most famous translator of these tablets is the scholar
and author Zecharia Sitchin, who can read Sumerian, Aramaic, Hebrew and other
Middle and Near Eastern languages. 2 He has extensively researched and translated the
Sumerian Tablets and has no doubt that they are describing extraterrestrials. Some
researchers say that he used a later version of the Sumerian language to translate an
earlier one and, therefore, some of his translations may not be 100% accurate. I think
his themes are correct, indeed other accounts and evidence supports this, but I
personally doubt some of the detail. I think that a number of Sitchin’s interpretations are
extremely questionable, while I agree with the overall thesis. According to his
