The disturbance causes a flood, [52] which forces the resident gods of Nippur to take shelter in the Eshumesha temple to Ninurta.

His work has been criticized for flawed methodology, ignoring archaeological and historical evidence, and mistranslations of ancient texts as well as for incorrect astronomical and scientific claims. Lewis, Tyson; Kahn, Richard (2005), "The Reptoid Hypothesis: Utopian and Dystopian Representational Motifs in David Icke's Alien Conspiracy Theory", Utopian Studies, Pennsylvania: Penn State University Press, 16 (1): 45–74, doi: 10. According to Sitchin's interpretation of Mesopotamian iconography and symbolism, outlined in his 1976 book The 12th Planet and its sequels, there is an undiscovered planet beyond Neptune that follows a long, elliptical orbit, reaching the inner Solar System roughly every 3,600 years. Wait, hang on a second… Not quite “literally”, because the author (and all those who follow in Sitchin’s footprints) have taken a literal interpretation of Mesopotamian mythology and suffused it with a very imaginative science fiction pretext worthy of L. KI - those from heaven to earth came) who may have taught the Sumerians to suddenly become such an intelligent culture where they knew about orbits, the Earth's axis tilt, the movement of the equinox -- advanced knowledge of the solar system.Sumerians lacked telescopes and couldn’t see Uranus’ and Neptune’s orbits the route maps (from Nibiru to Earth) show. The Church only funds archeological digs that add to, rather than contradict, the established belief structure. In one Hittite ritual, the names of the old gods are listed as: "Aduntarri the diviner, Zulki the dream interpretess, Irpitia Lord of the Earth, Narā, Namšarā, Minki, Amunki, and Āpi.

I am also wondering what his reasoning is for these claims and what information he was provided with to make such statements. For some of the science, especially the biology (full disclosure: the reviewer has a PhD in cell and molecular biology), a lot of what was presented as factual, such as telomeres, aging, and gold; pineal gland and DMT for example, have not been rigorously studied. The path of Enlil's celestial orbit was a continuous, symmetrical circle around the north celestial pole, [40] but those of An and Enki were believed to intersect at various points.Immerse yourself in the mysteries of Sumerian mythology, where the celestial and earthly realms converge, shaping human culture and beliefs. Closer reading of the text however, shows that the support for the main hypothesis in general is not strong; the support is actually a series of smaller hypotheses in need of more proof. In Hesiod's account, Ouranos is castrated by his son Cronus, [67] just as Anu was castrated by his son Kumarbi in the Hittite story.
