A Synopsis of the Sitchin Paradigm
Working from the same archaeological discoveries, artifacts,
and recovered records as archaeologists and linguists have for two hundred
years, Sitchin propounds – proves, in the opinion of this author --that
the Anunnaki (Sumerian: “those who came down from the heavens”; Old
testament Hebrew, Anakeim, Nefilim, Elohim; Egyptian: Neter), an advanced
civilization from the tenth planet in our solar system, splashed down
in the Persian gulf area around 432,000 years ago, colonized the planet,
with the purpose of obtaining large quantities of gold. Some 250,000
years ago, the recovered documents tell us, their lower echelon miners
rebelled against the conditions in the mines and the Anunnaki directorate
decided to create a creature to take their place. Enki, their chief scientist
and Ninhursag their chief medical officer, after getting no satisfactory
results splicing animal and Homo Erectus genes, merged their Anunnaki
genes with that of Homo Erectus and produced us, Homo Sapiens, a genetically
bicameral species, for their purposes as slaves. Because we were a hybrid,
we could not procreate. The demand for us as workers became greater and
we were genetically manipulated to reproduce.
Eventually, we became so numerous that some of us were
expelled from the Anunnaki city centers, gradually spreading over the
planet. Having become a stable genetic stock and developing more precociously
than, perhaps, the Anunnaki had anticipated, the Anunnaki began to be
attracted to humans as sexual partners and children were born of these
unions. This was unacceptable to the majority of the Anunnaki high council
and it was decided to wipe out the human population through a flood that
was predictable when Nibiru, the tenth in our solar system and the Anunnaki
home planet, came through the inner solar system again (around 12,500
years ago) on one of its periodic 3600 year returns. Some humans were
saved by the action of the Anunnaki official, Enki, who was sympathetic
to the humans he had originally genetically created. For thousands of
years, we were their slaves, their workers, their servants, and their
soldiers in their political battles among themselves. The Anunnaki used
us in the construction of their palaces (we retroproject the religious
notion of temple on these now), their cities, their mining and refining
complexes and their astronomical installations on all the continents. They
expanded from Mesopotamia to Egypt to India to South and Central America
and the stamp of their presence can be found in the farthest reaches of
the planet.
Around 6000 years ago, they, probably realizing that they were
going to phase off the planet, began, gradually, to bring humans to independence.
Sumer, a human civilization, amazing in its “sudden”, mature, and highly
advanced character was set up under their tutelage in Mesopotamia. Human
kings were inaugurated as go-betweens, foremen of the human populations
answering to the Anunnaki. A strain of humans, genetically enhanced with
more Anunnaki genes, a bloodline of rulers in a tradition of “servants
of the people” was initiated (Gardner). These designated humans were
taught technology, mathematics, astronomy, advanced crafts and the ways
of advanced civilized society (in schools, called now “mystery schools”
but there was no mystery about them). Gardner has brought to light the
fact that there exists a robust, highly documented, genealogical, genetic
history carrying all the way back to the Anunnaki, possessed by the heterodox
tradition of Christianity, which is only now coming forward, no longer gun
shy of the Inquisition. This tradition, preserving the bloodline, is the
one branded “heretical” and murderously persecuted by the Roman Church.
There were no Dark Ages for this tradition, only for those whom the Church
wanted to keep in the dark about the real nature of human history and destroy
the bloodline, a direct threat to the power of the Bishops.
What evidence supports the Sitchin thesis?
The Astronomical Evidence
“...no concrete problem is going
to be solved as long as the experts of astronomy are too supercilious to
touch "mythical" ideas -- which are firmly believed to be plain nonsense,
of course -- as long as historians of religion swear to it that stars and
planets were smuggled into originally "healthy" fertility cults and naive
fairy tales only "very late" -- whence these unhealthy subjects should be
neglected by principle -- and as long as the philologists imagine that familiarity
with grammar replaces that scientific knowledge which they lack, and dislike.”

Hamlet's Mill
A key underpinning of the Sitchin paradigm is the existence,
now or in the past, of the tenth planet in our solar system, the home
planet of the Anunnaki with the size, orbit, and characteristics described,
as Sitchin has demonstrated, in the Enuma Elish and corroborated by
Harrington, former chief of the U.S. Naval Observatory, now deceased.
Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930. Christie, of the U.S.
Naval Observatory, discovered Charon, Pluto’s moon, in 1978. The characteristics
of Pluto derivable from the nature of Charon demonstrated that there
must still be a large planet undiscovered because Pluto could not be the
cause of the residuals, the “wobbles” in the orbital paths of Uranus and
Neptune clearly identifiable. The IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite),
during ’83 -’84, produced observations of a tenth planet so robust that
one of the astronomers on the project said that “all that remains is
to name it” -- from which point the information has become curiously guarded.
In 1992 Harrington and Van Flandern of the Naval Observatory, working with
all the information they had at hand, published their findings and opinion
that there is, indeed, a tenth planet, even calling it an “intruder”
planet. The search was narrowed to the southern skies, below the ecliptic.
Harrington invited Sitchin, having read his book and translations of
the Enuma Elish, to a meeting at his office and they correlated the current
findings with the ancient records.
The recovered the Enuma Elish, the major transcultural document
from Sumer to forming the basis for Genesis, a history of the formation
of our solar system and more, says that, at the time when Mercury, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn were in place, there was a Uranus sized
planet, called Tiamat, in orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Earth was not
in place yet. A large wandering planet, called Nibiru, was captured into
the system gravitationally. As it passed by the outer planets it caused
the anomalies of their moons, the tilting of Uranus on its side, the dislodging
of Pluto from its being a moon of Saturn to its own planetary orbit.
Its path bent by the gravitational pull of the large planets, first its
satellites collided with the large planet Tiamat and, on a second orbit
through, Nibiru collided with Tiamat, driving the larger part of it into
what is now Earth’s orbit to recongeal as Earth, dragging its moon with
it to become our Moon with all its anomalies. The shattered debris of Tiamat’s
smaller part became the asteroid belt, comets, and meteorites. The gouge
of our Pacific basin is awesome testimony to the collisional event. Nibiru
settled into a 3600 year elliptical retrograde (opposite direction to all
the other planets) orbit around our sun, coming in through the asteroid belt
region between Mars and Jupiter at perigee and swinging far out past Pluto
at apogee. Harrington acknowledged that his information agreed with all these
details and the maps they each had drawn of the orbits were almost indistinguishable.
The current probable location of Nibiru (Planet X, our tenth) estimated by
both was the same.

It is the opinion of this author and others that, in light of the
evidence already obtained through the use of the Pioneer 10 and 11 and
two Voyager space craft, the Infrared Imaging Satellite (IRAS, ‘83-84)
and the clear and unequivocal statements of Harrington when consulting
with Sitchin, that the search has already been accomplished, in fact that
the planet has already been found -- and has been tracked, studied,
it's orbit determined and it's time of return to the inner solar system
calculated. Astronomers are strangely silent and reticent to talk about
such a monumental item.
We need to force the issue of the tenth planet
being in our solar system, not just to demonstrate the validity of the
new paradigm but for a very practical reason. The ancient records are
very clear. The passage of the tenth planet, Nibiru, once every 3600 years,
through the inner solar system effects the Earth, sometimes in catastrophic
ways. It is very probably the cause of pole shifts, pole reversals, changes
in the precessional movement, perhaps even catastrophic bombardment by
asteroid size space debris that it may drag along with it. Since it passes
through the asteroid belt area between Mars and Jupiter and its orbital
path may vary depending on the position of the other planets when it comes
though, it may have been responsible for the devastation of Mars. A rigorous,
detailed computer modeling of the solar system, including the tenth planet
needs to be done urgently for our own planetary safety. Remember that the
Vatican maintains an astronomical observatory and Msgr. Balducci may have
access to information that prompts him to make the amazing statements he
has ---- no doubt as voice of the Vatican.
The Technological Evidence
Ooparts is the term used to
describe the purportedly out of place in time artifacts, toys, tools,
technical devices, depictions and documents which have come to light
through archaeological excavation or discovery. Almost everyone is familiar,
through published works or documentaries, with the clay pot batteries
still containing the electrodes from the Iraqi desert dated at 2500 B.C.,
the flyable model airplane from a pyramid tomb, the sophisticated machining
of stone requiring the most advanced techniques we know today, the 1000
ton precision cut blocks of stone in a temple foundation that we could
not even handle, an ancient relief frieze from an Abydos temple depicting
rockets, airplanes and even a helicopter, etc. The most recent and quite
amazing oopart is the rediscovery of monoatomic gold by David Hudson (Monoatomics
are superconductors at room temperature, have anti-gravitic properties
and are only now being investigated by the advanced physics community)
Hudson’s discovery, correlated with the bringing to light, by Gardner, of
the suppressed discovery of the Anunnaki gold processing plant on Mt. Horeb
by Sir Flinders Petrie in 1889 demonstrates that the monoatomics were already
known at least 3000 years ago. These ooparts coupled with evidence from
many disciplines and the historical records indicate that an advanced civilization
existed in those times possessing a high technology and that that civilization
was indeed the Anunnaki.
The Documentary Evidence
The recorded historical
documentation for the existence and deeds of the Anunnaki has become
gradually available to us only since the early 1800’s. The excavation
of the ancient sites of Mesopotamia brought to light the amazingly advanced
civilization of Sumer and, with it, thousands of clay tablets containing
not only mundane records of commerce, marriages, military actions and
advanced astronomical calculation systems but of the history of the
Anunnaki themselves. It is clear from those records that the Sumerians
knew these aliens to be real flesh and blood. The library of the ruler,
Ashurbanipal, at Nineveh was discovered to have burnt down and the clay
tablets held there were fired, preserving them for our reading. One of
the most impressive finds, in very recent time, has been a sealed, nine
foot by six foot room in Sippar holding, neatly arranged on shelves, a set
of some 400 elaborate clay tablets containing an unbroken record of the
history of those ancient times, a sort of time capsule. The evidence is
so overwhelming and robust that, if it weren’t for those with power enough
to suppress, it would have been accepted and our world view changed a century
ago or, perhaps, sooner.
The Genetic Evidence
The recovered records
place the location of the Anunnaki laboratory where the first humans
were literally produced in east central Africa just above their gold
mines. This falls precisely on the map where the mitochondrial DNA “search
for Eve” places the first woman Homo Sapiens and in the same period.
(The gold mining engineers of Africa have found 100,000-year-old gold
mines in that area.) The evidence for, and description of advanced genetic
engineering is all there in the ancient documents. Our rapid progress
from inception to going to Mars soon, after only 250,000 years, does not
correspond to the million year periodicities of slow evolutionary development
of other species such as Homo Erectus before us. As so many thinkers have
pointed out, we are radically and anomalously different, as discussed
in part three.
Scientific Objections to the Thesis
How could the Anunnaki,
clearly described as comfortable in earth gravity and atmosphere, very
similar to current humans in all ways, have evolved on a planet within
our solar system whose orbital apogee takes it into the deep cold of
space for much of its orbit?
The ancient records repeatedly describe Nibiru as a “radiant”
planet. This may be understood as having a high core temperature. Although
controversial, there is also astrophysical opinion that a large body
in elongated orbit is constantly tending toward circular orbit and this
causes stresses in the body that could generate a good deal of heat.
That their planet is gradually cooling, may be indicated by Sitchin’s
interpretation of their colonizing Earth (contains most of the gold identifiable
in the solar system) for the purpose of obtaining large quantities of
gold for molecular seeding of their atmosphere with a reflective gold
shielding. Pertinent here is Harrington’s confident statement to Sitchin
that it is “a nice, good planet, could be surrounded by gases, probably
has an atmosphere and could support life like ours”. The sunlight level
there might be quite different than on earth. The Anunnaki were often depicted
or sculpted with what seem to be obviously sunglasses.
If, however, the Anunnaki evolved on a radically different planet
from earth under quite different conditions to which to adapt, why
should they have turned out to be so identical to human species? Sitchin’s
answer is based on the collisional event between the intruder planet,
Nibiru, and the planet Tiamat, the residual part of which recongealed
into the Earth after being driven into current Earth orbit. That the two,
or at least one, of the colliding planets was sufficiently developed to
have evolved basic organic compounds, perhaps even simple life, the cross-seeding
of everything from amino acids to more complicated organic compounds or
even primitive organisms, could account for the evolutionary similarity.
Although this author finds it a reasonable hypothesis, even trivial, that
advanced civilizations would be capable of crossing extremely different
genomes, perhaps with even radically different bases, the cross-seeding
theory can account for the apparent relative ease with which the Anunnaki
impinged their genes on the genes of Homo Erectus. The Anunnaki skill
level, 200,000 years ago, is indicated well by the recorded fact that,
in early trials, they succeeded in crossing animal genes with Homo Erectus
genes, obtained living hybrids but never a satisfactory product which
led them to modify Homo Erectus genes with their advanced genes.
If our genome is estimated as 98% to 99% similar to the chimpanzee,
how could there be a melding of the Homo Erectus and Anunnaki genomes,
or impingement of the advanced code on the lesser advanced one detectable?
The author suggests that this is a major question probably answerable
only by the geneticists eopen mindednough to attack it. The resolution
of that question should provide rich additional clues in itself.
