What does the ancient Sumerian creation myth say about the origins of humanity?
Around 4,000 years ago, someone in ancient Iraq pressed a reed into wet clay and they wrote down an entire story about where human beings came from. And it's not what you heard in Genesis. The story goes like this: the gods were tired of working. So they made us, human beings, do it for them. And these gods that did this had a name: the Enunaki. And then in 1976, One man reread those tablets and he came away with a completely different story. According to him, the Anunnaki were not gods at all. They were aliens. Yeah, they came from a hidden planet called Nibiru, and their world was dying, and the only thing that could save them was gold. So they came here to mine this gold. And when the manual labor got to be too much, they took a primitive ape already living here.
And they thought, oh, we'll just genetically engineer this ape to be a worker. And that worker is us. And here's the part that keeps the story alive 50 years later. When you go back and actually read the ancient texts, it feels pretty real. There really are gods creating human beings out of clay, and there really is a great flood with a man told to build a boat. And there really are strange giants that are born from gods or angels. and mixing with human women, and there are really pieces of modern science like planets we can't find, genes that rewire the human brain, that keep landing a little too close to this ancient story for comfort. Well, this is the story of the Anunnaki. So sit back, relax, and welcome to camp.
What's up, dude, and welcome back to camp. My name is Mark Gagnon, and thank you for joining me in my tent where every single week we explore the most interesting, fascinating, controversial stories from around the world from all time, forever. Yes, that is what I do here in this tent is I go on crazy rabbit holes, I find Wikipedia articles, I find little posts on Reddit or Instagram, and I get obsessed with them and I deep dive for hours, and then I tell you about it. Yeah, that's kind of what I see the shows. This is kind of like the Sports Center for Conspiration. Conspiracy theories. I don't believe all of them, but I do believe all of them are interesting. And today we have a fascinating one. We're talking about the Anunnaki.
Yeah, maybe you've heard the word before. Maybe you've seen people on Ancient Aliens talking about them. Well, I'm gonna tell you why it matters and why people are talking about this ancient religion from 4,000 years ago and how it got kicked back up in the modern day and why people to this day still believe that the Anunnaki were responsible for creating human beings. Whether you believe it or don't believe it, I believe it's fascinating. Before we jump in, I want to say a few things. First, thank you so much for you know being here. Every time you click on an episode, or you comment, or you like, or interact with our content at all, you help my dreams come true, you help the show grow, you help keep the lights on in the tent, and you keep the fire burning here at the campsite.
I also want to say thank say thanks to my pal Christos Pacadapalabados. How are you, friend? What's up, man? Christos, we don't have time because we're talking about the Anunnaki. All right. All this jibber jabber is drive me nuts. We're we we got the biggest mystery of all time right before. For us, we're not gonna divert. All right. Now, this episode, we we were initially gonna do all of this and and and fully like present all the research that me and some of my buddies did in Joshua Tree. Yeah, we're actually taking the whole team to Joshua Tree this October. And uh, if you're interested in joining us, this is not like an official, official thing, all right. This is just like the team going out for like a fun little, you know, weekend outing with the camp folk.
