In this class, Dr. Keislar mentions some highlights of how monotheism was introduced after the Sumerian and Babylonian cultures had accepted the Anunnaki system in which each city and tribe worshiped and made ritual offerings to it own “god” – actually the extraterrestrial leader from the Niburean race who had been granted leadership of that particular territory or group.

In the midst of this polytheistic situation, Melchizedek appeared and taught the unity of God and salvation through faith alone. He is mentioned in the Bible as the “priest of the Most High God” who blessed Abraham, but he is not well known today.  At that time it was a common idea that in order to please the gods and be saved from one’s sins, one must offer them sacrifices, even human sacrifice and especially one’s own oldest son. Melchizedek managed to teach his disciple Abraham that he should not offer his own son in sacrifice, but Abraham was unable to give up the widespread practice of sacrificing an animal, which was considered absolutely necessary.

It took well over a thousand years, and the efforts of many prophets, to gradually convince the followers of Abraham to finally and completely give up the worship of many gods. Moses with great difficulty tried to convince them, after they had become slaves in Egypt, that their tribal god, Yahweh (the god of the volcanic Mt. Sinai, whom they worshiped in the image of a silver or golden calf) alone should be worshiped, without any image, as the supreme Creator. Later, prophets like Samuel, Elijah, Amos and Hosea gradually taught that God is trustworthy and will always take care of His people, and then that He will not tolerate sin even among His own people, yet is always merciful. All this information is from an extraterrestrial source, The Urantia Book, which does not always seem true but in this section appears reliable.

Micah came next and taught, “Shall I come before God with burnt offerings? Will the Lord be pleased with a thousand rams or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown me, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?”

By the time of Jeremiah, he even could warn the people of Jerusalem, when they were being attacked by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, that this so-called enemy was actually the servant of God. And after the Jewish people had been made captives in Babylon, the second Isaiah was finally able to bring the Hebrew people to understand and accept that “the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” was in fact the only God, the universal Creator.

Lord Jesus appeared later and taught that God is above all the God of love, and finally the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) made the very basis of his teaching that there is no other god but the one God, who is full of mercy and compassion.

In this class Dr. Keislar first compares the timelines of ancient Sumerian texts with those derived from modern Western academic science and from current secret space programs. He finds that agreement between these sources may be good evidence that there is truth in them. The key dates he notices are about 500,000 years ago for a major solar system catastrophe resulting in the creation of the asteroid belt, 200,000 years ago for the appearance of Homo sapiens and 13,000 years ago for a major terrestrial cataclysm likely centered in or particularly affecting Antarctica.

After this, Dr. Keislar continues his study of the relationship between ancient Mesopotamian accounts and Biblical developments. He moves onward from the obviously related stories of the creation of humanity and the great flood that he discussed in earlier classes to wonder why and how the Hebrew prophets developed their concept of monotheism along similar lines and about the same time as the Assyrian and Babylonian traditions. Dr. Keislar plans to explore this challenging question further in the next class.

In this class Dr. Keislar briefly describes the ancient Sumerian and Babylonian stories of the flood, written long before the obviously related Biblical story of Noah. In Sumerian texts, the name of the  hero was Ziusudra and in the Babylonian texts Utnapishtim (or Atrahasis).

In these accounts, the leader of the Anunnaki on Earth, Enlil, with the support of the rest of his fellow Niburean leaders, decided to destroy the entire human population because it had become too numerous. However, his half-brother Enki (who had genetically engineered Homo sapiens using some of his own DNA) secretly saved his creation.

After famine and disease had failed to wipe out humanity, Enlil announced that an upcoming flood would destroy mankind; all the Anunnaki needed to do was prevent any human beings from finding out about the approaching flood. However, Enki indirectly informed Ziusudra and advised him to build a huge boat to save humanity and other living things on Earth, much like God in the Hebrew Bible told Noah to do.

The main difference between the two very similar accounts, Mesopotamian and Hebrew, is that in the former there are many “gods” while in the latter there is only one God. Perhaps the reason for this is that, at the time the Bible account of Noah was written the story of the flood was widely known and accepted as an important historical event; therefore the Bible used that story, but somewhat changed it, in order to teach its monotheistic message.

Zecharia Sitchin suggests that this great flood occurred at the end of the last ice age, when the Antarctic ice shelf slipped into the ocean, creating a huge tidal wave. This fits in well with the timing and direction of the flood according to the Mesopotamian version, about 11,000 B.C.E. and “from the South”.

In this class Dr. Keislar discusses the existence of multiple timelines, which are different parallel streams of history. These alternate versions of history, though they may appear contradictory, each have their own factuality, according to the sincerity and love of those who generate them. They are often the result of time travel and the attempt to change history – an attempt which practical experimentation has shown instead results simply in the creation of another timeline.

When timelines become too complex and confusing and lose their usefulness, they may be deleted. This happens particularly at a “Day of Judgment”, when the timeline of love is re-established. Other timelines may also be generated according to the needs and desires of those who will inhabit them. The greatest wars are often timeline wars, in which participants in different timelines try to get others to abandon their own timelines and accept those of their enemies.

The Sumerian stories of the creation of humanity by extraterrestrials using genetic engineering about 200,000 years ago, and the sudden establishment of an advanced civilization in southern Iraq about 4000 B.C., is the timeline promoted by that culture. Understanding that we can learn from this timeline, and that it has its own factuality even if it contradicts our own understanding, can help promote peace and harmony among different groups of human beings, as well as between Earthlings and extraterrestrials. This is one of the important purposes of the Institute of All Intelligent Life.

This is the first class of the Institute’s autumn 2017 new course, “Extraterrestrial Spirituality”. It discusses the idea that the Anunnaki, extraterrestrials from the planet Nibiru, had genetically engineered humanity. This very suggestion may be shocking to some, but it is based on the claims of ancient Sumerian texts.

Zecharia Sitchin, a leading scholar of Sumerian, Akkadian, Hebrew and other ancient west Asian languages, argued that early stories in these languages are not mythology, as previously interpreted, but are records of historical events. He showed how the Biblical account of the creation of Adam is related to the earlier Sumerian version of the same event.

According to Sitchin’s translation of Sumerian texts, hundreds of thousands of years ago explorers from Nibiru discovered gold on Earth, and eventually began mining it in South Africa. After toiling in the mines for many, many years, however, the Anunnaki workers rebelled. In response, their leaders decided to genetically engineer a new species to replace the mine workers.

Thus the Anunnaki leader Enki and his sister, the medical scientist Ninmah, took DNA from the most advanced primates on Earth (Homo erectus) and spliced some of their own DNA into it to create a hybrid being, Adamu, the first Homo sapiens.
