Yes, thanks for bringing out this thread again, Bill. I was thinking of starting a thread entitled "Who were/are the Anunnaki?", so I look forward to reading this thread.Posted by Bill Ryan (here)
Hi again, All:Posted by Bill Ryan (here)
One veteran researcher, who Kerry Cassidy and I also know personally, knew Zecharia Sitchin very well. This person told us that Zecharia had told him that his books were NOT translated from the Sumerian - but were actually channeled products of automatic writing.
I was re-reading this paragraph above and realized that it gave the wrong impression. Sitchin did indeed translate his works from the Sumerian (he was a gifted scholar), but was guided by channeled information in the many instances where the meaning was not clear, or was ambiguous.
This accounts for the differences of opinion between him and other Sumerian scholars, who have ridiculed some of his interpretations.
I remain 100% certain that Sitchin's claims that the Anunnaki are riding around on Nibiru were disinformation coming from the Anunnaki themselves. The Anunnaki have advanced spacecraft and can certainly travel around the solar system freely any time they want. Where their home planet really is, I have no idea and have never heard (Henry Deacon didn't know either).
I, too, have always been hesitate to embrace the Nibiru story, but I knew from my own research and experience that Sitchin had correctly translated a couple accounts of one of my past incarnations as Ramesses. I had already recovered several memories from that lifetime and then discovered Sitchin's books and found two of the incidents were in his books. It is still rather astonishing to me that these accounts of my experiences were written over three thousand years ago in Egypt and that Sitchin was able to so accurately translate them.
However, he was not an ET contact researcher and so I found some of his conclusions to be non sequitur. But I think when it came to purely translating ancient writings he was spot on. I didn't know he was into channeling, too.
Some library researchers believe that the Sumerian Anunnaki (such as Enki and Anu) were giants. However, in my own experiences with the Anunnaki in Egypt (under the names Ra & Ptah) and the experiences with a fellow abductee with the Anunnaki in 17th century in what is now called Turkey, I know that they were not giants. [Ref: EYE OF RA, first two chapters, link below]
I think a lot of people are now realizing that the Anunnaki were/are not nice guys (although they played both good cop and bad cop roles). From my perspective some of the Sumerian writings as well as other writings about the Anunnaki in later times and places were probably accurate in that they wrote exactly what the Anunnaki wanted them to write. And that was not necessarily the truth.
The Anunnaki were the creators of the god-worshipping religions, satanic sacrifice rituals and insidious secret societies so they were/are very adept at lying and fabricating all kinds of fanciful stories as they plied the skies around the globe in their time-traveling craft (i.e., flying saucer).
They were the ones who created the controlled chaos on this planet and it is apparent to me that they are still doing so--and perhaps even micro-managing it via the Pentagon, CIA, etc. They are human-looking ETs so they could pass as one of us (e.g., "Val Thor"--notice the name of a Nordic god being used here.) They lied to their earthly contacts in telling them that they were gods and had to be worshiped and obeyed--or else!
We can know the Anunnaki from their symbols that are interwoven into the history of this planet throughout time. They are very often associated with the Pleiades in ancient writings (also see Billy Meier's contact notes). Their symbols include the cross, winged poisonous snakes, dragons (flying serpent), one or two snakes coiled around a staff (or tree of life), circle with a point in the middle, swastikas, pyramids, obelisks, sun god worship, Illu (illuminati, illumination, illusion), blood-letting knives, swords, etc, human and animal sacrifices, all lights in the sky (planets, stars, sun, moon), black/white checkered floor and other Masonic/secret society symbols, etc.
They literally identified themselves as the lights in the sky and the "sun god" role in virtually all corners of the earth. In Egypt the sun god was Ra. So there was the "rising sun" programming which was the (alleged) birth/rebirth/light side of things (e.g. Lucifer/Sirius the Light Bringer) and there was the "setting sun" programming which was death/darkness (Set, Seth, Satan). So there was the light side outer mystery rituals practiced by the public and the dark, satanic side inner mystery practiced in secret (usually).
