Basically, this is three separate lectures (one of them via online) by
UFO-logist Jason Martell about the depiction of alien visitors in ancient
Sumerian culture. The fascinating thing about this is that the Sumerians
formed the first actual civilisation about 6,000 years agoway before the
ancient Egypts, and predating all kinds of Hebrew civilisation, even
though Sumerian legends (including the creation of man and Noah's Ark) did
find their way into the bible. And even though their civilisation seems to
have grown out of nothing overnight, they did not only have their own
alphabet and detailed understanding of mathematics, they also had an
advanced knowledge of astronomy and astrology, and their very own
mythology - and their myths frequently speak of Gods coming from a tenth
planet, 48 times the size of the earth. For Jason Martell, this is as
good as proof that the Sumerians were indeed visited by aliens, and that
these aliens were even the forefathers of humankind (stepping in for the
missing link) ... ... and here is where Martell loses me. The
problem is that the good Mr Martell so wants to believe in aliens having
visited Sumerians in exactly the way he depicts it, he neglects something
like basic physics: If beings came from a planet 48 (!) times the
earth, they would have to be vastly different in biological structure from
us humans due to the vastly different requirements on their own planet
that they could not have fathered any life that could survive on earth,
least of all something as advanced, evolutionary, as humankind. Also, if
their planet circles the sun in an elliptic orbit, passing close by only
every 3,600 years, it would get way too little sunlight to sustain life,
maiking it impossible that life has evolved at all on this (as of yet
undiscovered but theoretically possible) tenth planet (tenth planet
because Martell held his lectures when Pluto was still considered a
planet). These are only the two most obvious flaws in Martell's
theories, there are more, if you only listen carefully - but that all
said, his depictions of Sumerian culture as such (without alien
connections) are rather fascinating, and one would really wish he would
stick more to proven facts than making up his flawed theories ...
