Adam and Eve were having a blissful time in the Garden of Eden. They had booked to visit the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys and were not disappointed. However hotel hospitality standards fell when Eve leaned over the balcony and was faced with a firey eyed reptilian. She was reassured when she saw it wore a elegant bow tie and a wide jawed smile. It held a shining fruit in it’s jaws, as if it knew she had missed breakfast that morning. The rest, as they say, is history.

Within all the stories of the beginning times of humanity there is one scientific question that as yet, needs proof. It is the ‘missing link’. The problem is that homo sapiens appear to have no ancestor. We may be 98% similar in our DNA to our Chimpanzee cousins but compare the two species, and the difference is obvious.

If no ‘missing link’ is to make an appearance in fossils, let us test another hypothesis. Suppose that homo sapiens were visited by beings from other dimensions and / or space time realities? Well, yes, that is a big leap into the unproven, but no more than Conquistadors landing in Central America or Captain Cook landing in North Island, New Zealand. Cultures historically, attract unexpected visitors. Sometimes the meeting is destructive bringing plague and disease and sometimes constructive, bringing new technology and ideas. Usually it is a mixture of both and those who think it shouldn’t happen or apologies are due, might reflect on this very human vulnerability and how blame is not the solution.

So here we have these early humans romping around the Garden of Eden without a care in the world. That is until the rules changed. The new rule, a poisoned chalice in effect, was ‘freewill’.

Such a gift, if humans are involved, was always going to get out of control. A ‘guide’ was needed and one may say that time was right for a radiant being or beings to appear, in computer terms, a ‘security patch’ for humanity. Fairly far fetched hypothesis you might say, but then, so were ships with sails appearing on the horizon for the Aztecs.

If this hypothesis deserves exploration, we need evidence. Well there is evidence but not conclusive evidence. We might start with the Bible as a source.

In The Book of Daniel we find a race known as ‘The Watchers’ meaning ‘those who are awake‘ or ‘guardians‘. Nebuchadnezzar described them as ‘a watcher, a holy one come down from heaven‘. Biblical scholars want to interpret Watchers as ‘angels’. Whatever they were, we are told that they came from above.

How can we be sure of that? Well, if we change sources to earlier writings, then the Sumerian texts record the presence on Earth of a race they call the ‘Anunnaki’. Translated this also means, ‘those who came from Heavens to Earth‘ – remarkably similar to The Watchers. A Victorian scholar name Nathaniel Schmidt was one of the first to translate the Sumerian cuneiform tablets; some of the earliest written records. He read of contact between humans and the Anunnaki They appear to have been a benign influence whose intent was to aid the development of humans.

If we seek evidence other than the written Sumerian records, then there are thousands of ancient visual depictions of ‘non-human beings’ in pictures and sculptures. If we dismiss these as ‘myths’ or ‘imagination’ how can we account for those that are from different cultures?

These figures are often oversized, that is several times the average height of a homo sapien. Could this genetic mix account for why the skeletons of ‘giants’, found all over the world. The presence of giants such as Goliath fighting in warring armies, gives a reminder that size is just a matter of scaling up. This is more practical for cold blooded rather than warm blooded creatures…hence the giant reptilians of the Carboniferous era.

Gilgamesh is a well known character who appears on the Sumerian ‘Kings List’. He is described as a hybrid between human and non-human. It is undeniably possible that Anunnaki bred with humans either physically, or genetically using techniques common today that we call ‘test tube babies’.

If the ‘missing link’ is ever to be explained, could this be it?

Humans went from being descendants of the Garden of Eden to being a ‘super race’ who lived for hundreds – even thousands of years as, ancient texts record, were the Sumerian Kings. One early such king was recorded as living for 43,200 years. Should we dismiss this as fantasy? Sumer gave us the sexigesimal system of time recording and were exact and prolific at recording in general, so we must have good reason to dismiss their historical records as wrong.

The Sumerian texts shows us a dark side to the Anunnaki. In their version of creation myth there are two demi-gods. Enki wants to upgrade humans to enjoy a more conscious life and this conflicts with Enlil, so Enki breaks ranks. Enlil wants to destroy the planet. Enki gives instructions to Noah for his family and farm to be saved.

Those lead by Enlil wanted to use humans as a work force to mine minerals such as gold in South Africa, on behalf of their non-human superiors. Following the ways in which colonies change over time, the the colonisers returned to their own dominions while still receiving the riches of Earth for their own purposes.

All of this was happening pre-flood. The last Sumerian dynasty before the flood lasted 241000 years and was shared by 8 kings each reigning 30000 years! This dynasty ended in the flood.

If this date is the same on the time line as the end of the last Ice Age, then at around 10600 BCE sea levels rose dramatically around the globe. This is recorded by many and diverse cultures;

Mesopotamia

Hinduism

Gun-Yu in China

Deucalion and Pyrrha in Ancient Greece

Genesis in the Old Testament

Bergelmir in Norse myths

Nuh (Noah) in the Quran

Polynesia

Hawaii

Mesoamerica the Mayan peoples

La Courte Oreilles Ojibwa tribe in North America

South America the Canari Confederation

Africa

Australian aboriginal tribes.

This level of ancient cultural agreement over a global flood supports the hypothesis that it occurred in large parts of the world, rather than ‘everywhere’. We are proof that most if not all of the peoples alive at that time, survived.

The Sumerain, Babylonian and Assyrian have similar flood stories to Genesis in the Bible and it is likely that the Bible referred to these for it sources. We know that the Bible was redacted in the 6th century AD so is the most recent version of events and furthest from them.

Now my version of the flood-myth story departs completely from the Bible. I take issue with the simplistic account of wild animals compliantly lining up in pairs. The majority (seven of each) of the animals were selected as food for Noah and his tribe. Therefore, I suggests that the only animals taken onboard the ark were domesticated. The Annunaki’s skill at genetic engineering was surely applied to animals as well as humans. Domesticated ‘beasts of burden’ were not just fresh meat but worked for humans, in the way humans worked for the Anunnaki.

Proof of this hypothesis? Well the reference to the animals going into the arc ‘two by two’ requires challenging. Why state this detail? Why not explain what happened to the plant, reptile, bird and insect kingdoms? There is surely a good tale to tell about those animals that did not survive, such as Unicorns. Since communities all around the world record the same event, it is likely that there were thousands of human survivors and multiple lineages of life on earth.

If we are examine the credibility the story of the Arc as a wooden ship and it’s uncontrolled travels on a tempestuous ocean, it is hard to take it literally. A boat loaded with wild carnivorous animals was always going to be an impossibility. How do you stop the animals just eating each other like they do in nature? A powerless and rudderless ship was more likely to hit a mountain top and sink, than navigate to a safe harbour.

We have to ask whether the Arc could really have been a ship? Since the proportions of the Arc in the Bible are given as a cubic rectangular shape, I personally think it more likely it was a giant building, or perhaps several such buildings scattered around the globe by multiple cultures when the rains started. To flood the world would have taken several hundreds if not thousands of years, giving humans time to preserve life, as best they could. The reference to forty days in the Bible is of course numeric code in the same manner as the whole of creation taking six days.

The dimensions of the Arc are proportional to the First Temple in Jerusalem, which of course, was a building. Not only that but there is a truth in the creation of similar geometric forms at different scales, what we call today, fractals.

The Bible omits to point out that plants were as vital to preserve as animals, fungi, insects and reptiles, all of which were at risk of extinction. The Sumerian gods are repeatedly depicted in pictures as standing with flowering tree and attending to it. In one hand they hold a bag and in the other, something resembling a fir cone.

Pine cones are counter clockwise spiral forms that obey the arithmetical, Fibonacci pattern of growth. They are perfect symbols of the process of genetic engineering and / or horticultural hybridisation. The seeds are fractals of a tree / Tree of Life, in nascence, and seeds is where this hypothesis goes next.
