Nobody knows how life began. As for the origin of life on Earth, in favor of its cosmic ancestry, there is an opinion that "the genetic seeds of life are swarming throughout space" - not DNA as such, but rather bacteria, archaea, viruses and their genes that came to Earth from space. perhaps inside meteorites and asteroids, or were carried by solar winds. This view is categorically rejected by NASA and some of the "mainstream" religions, which preach that all life on Earth began miraculously in some kind of organic soup, or (according to theists, for the creation of woman and man) through divine providence.
NASA's position rejects this theory in favor of Darwin's "small steps" evolutionary theory, which, however, has been disproved by the data found in the fossils. It is therefore not surprising that Nobel Prize Laureate Francis Crick (one of the "fathers" of modern genetics) completely dismissed NASA's implausible claims, arguing that since even the simplest form of life is incredibly complex, it is possible that high-tech advanced godlike aliens purposefully planted it on our planet. Shout, however, could not come up with a plausible motive for this event.
Perhaps these god-like aliens did it for fun or as an educational toy, using an Earth-sized anthill for their god-like alien children. Interestingly, the ancient Romans and Greeks considered themselves toys and servants of the gods. In chapters 2 and 3 of Genesis, we got to know the Lord God (and his helpers), who created people in their own image, as they needed labor to care for crops, fruit trees and animals. This begs the question: if there is a "god" (or gods), is it possible that this "God" is extraterrestrial?
Scholars believe that the first few chapters of Genesis are a very heavily edited retelling of the Sumerian creation stories (Heidel, 1988; Kramer, 1991; Roux, 1992), written by the non-Semitic poets of the urban state of Sumer and Ur Chaldeans, which was replaced by Babylon - that today is Iraq (Roux, 1992). According to Ruu (1992, p. 85): “For over three thousand years the Sumerian gods were worshiped by the Sumerians and Semites, and for over three thousand years the religious ideas promoted by the Sumerians played an extraordinary role in the public and private life of the Mesopotamians, modeling their institutions, painting their works of art and literature”.
As the renowned Sumerian scholar Samuel Noai Kramer (1991, p. 75) summarized: “There is good reason to believe that a group of Sumerian thinkers and teachers emerged in the third millennium BC who, in their search for satisfactory answers to some of the problems posed by cosmic speculation, developed cosmology and theology with such high intellectual conviction that their doctrines became the main creed and dogma of much of the ancient Near East."
Our knowledge of the ancient Sumerian comes from a variety of ancient texts, including epic tales, hymns, poetry, proverbs, prayers and spells. Some of these texts are written in the ancient Sumerian language, others are Akkadian and Babylonian copies found in the ruins of palaces and temple libraries.
Sumerian cosmology, regarding the origin of the universe, is in some respects reminiscent of modern cosmology. For example, they imagined that at first there was nothing and because there was nothing, he had no name. Most likely it was chaos. Moreover, because there was nothing: “There were no gods. They are not named by name, their fate is not determined."
However, instead of pure absence, this nothing was chaos (Kramer, 1991; Roux, 1992), a "mixture" of clouds ("mummu") and fresh water (Apsu) and salt water (Tiamat). And out of this chaos came form and substance, and then the eternal heaven, from which flowed the seeds of life; the seeds that eventually fell to Earth and which also fell on the planets of the gods, thus giving birth to the latter.

According to Sumerian theology, the pantheon of gods, human-like in form, but possessing superhuman scientific abilities and technological capabilities, arrived on this planet in flying discs and took possession of the Earth in order to use this world for resource extraction.
According to the Sumerians, these "gods" in turn were governed by laws and regulations that were promulgated and enacted by other gods who lived in different regions of the cosmos (Kramer, 1991). These different "gods", through agreements developed between them and their different factions, were responsible for different regions of the cosmos and thus ruled and exploited the different worlds and the life forms that lived on different planets. Earth was simply one of countless worlds that were exploited and ruled by a pantheon of humanoid gods - the Anunnaki.
Based on the interpretation of ancient Sumerian cuneiform letters and glyphs, Kramer (1991) informs us that these gods formed and "functioned as a group with a king at the head of the most important units." The main "god" who ruled the Earth was Enlil, who was extremely arrogant and cruel. Other major gods included Ninhursag, who was his wife, and Enki, who was Enlil's scholar and half-brother.
According to the Sumerians, these "Anunnaki" were people traveling through space, traveling on spherical winged aircraft, and according to the Sumerian calendars, they first arrived on this planet almost 500,000 years ago. Moreover, according to the Sumerians, these "gods" "had wives and did not differ from other people."
Poets and historians of ancient Sumer tell us that the Earth was inhabited by all sorts of animals, including primitive people, who were not much different from animals. The "gods" determined that the humanoid animals that roamed the planet were too primitive and could not perform the tasks necessary for the activities of the gods. To obtain a suitable workforce, they turned to Enki, whose emblem was a double helix: two intertwined snakes. Enki experimented with these humanoid animals and other creatures, creating all sorts of hybrid combinations - what today might be called "transgenic animals." Moreover, he created semi-human animals that could entertain the gods, but which nevertheless remained unsuitable for work in the fields or mines.
Finally, by taking blood and other tissues from the body of one of the gods and mixing them in his flasks, Enki then impregnated one of these humanoid animals with it. Enki was able to create an advanced, almost god-like Homo sapiens who could be employed as a slave, and who could be instructed to maintain the gardens and tend the supplies of the gods.
These "primitive people" were essentially shaped in the image of the Anunnaki gods and were thus partly gods themselves. Some of them were given dominion over the land and the responsibility to govern more primitive humans who independently evolved on Earth. Thus, the "gods", in the words of the Sumerians, "descended from heaven … to reign," and the humans they created were half gods and half human, and were expected to act as overseers.
According to the lists of Sumerian kings, the Anunnaki created these first god-kings over 240,000 years ago (Roux, 1992). In addition, human “modern” DNA has been claimed to trace its ancestry back to its ancestors in Africa about 250,000 years ago (Stonekingu0026amp; Cann, 1989; Vigilant et al., 1991).
According to Sumerian "mythology," one of the Anunnaki, Enki (who is associated with the "serpent" emblem), created a superior human being who could be taught the arts of culture, science, medicine, and technology (Heidel, 1988; Kramer, 1991); their women were so beautiful that even the Gods longed for and desired them. As a result, the Anunnaki grew up with countless children - and thereby violated the laws formulated by the supreme rulers of the universe.
In the stories of Gilgamesh, the Sumerians explain that the demigods (partly humans, partly gods) were two-thirds divine and one-third mortal. Gilgamesh, as the Sumerians tell us in The Cycles of Gilgamesh, was one of the divine kings who ruled the ancient city of Uruk tens of thousands of years ago. And although he was two-thirds god and a great hero, Gilgamesh was still human and felt love, hate, sadness, joy, hope and despair. On one of his travels, he came across a tall hairy, naked and very wild man from the mountains, Enkidu, who was more a beast than a man.
Gilgamesh (or the inhabitants of Gilgamesh) at first feared and then befriended and humanized his semi-human friend Enkidu. But one day Enkidu fell ill and died; and after this Enlil, king of the Anunnaki gods, sentenced Gilgamesh to death.
Were Enkidu and Enkidu's descendants Neanderthals? The primitive soulless people described in Genesis? Was the semi-divine Gilgamesh (and the inhabitants of Gilgamesh) Cro-Magnons? Were the Cro-Magnons genetically modified Neanderthals and thus partly humans and partly "gods"?
Neanderthals did not evolve into Cro-Magnons, and the two species of humanity have coexisted for at least 5000 years. However, after 400,000 years of history (if we include the first Homo sapiens in their origin), the Neanderthals disappeared from the face of the earth around 29,000 BC as a result of disease or widespread ethnic cleansing by the Cro-Magnon peoples.
The Neanderthals were a completely different race. And not only physically, but genetically; since only minor traces of Neanderthal DNA are found in the human genome. In all other respects, Neanderthals and their genomes differ significantly from those of modern humanity. They did not become Cro-Magnons, whose origin is completely unknown.
We know what happened to the Neanderthals. They were eradicated by these 6-foot, large-headed, intelligent Cro-Magnon giants. But what happened to the Cro-Magnons, who disappeared from the fossil record more than 13,000 years ago?
Perhaps the answer can be found in Genesis:
“When people began to live on earth, and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw how wonderful the daughters of men were, and therefore they took as wives those they liked. Then the Lord said: “My spirit” will not remain in people forever, because they are only flesh.
The Nephilim appeared on earth in those days, and also later, after the sons of God communicated with the daughters of people who bore them sons … The Lord regretted that he had created people on earth, and his heart was grieved, Therefore, the Lord said: “I I will destroy from the face of the earth the human beings that I created, and not only people, but also animals and creeping reptiles, and birds in the air, because I am sorry that I created them."
And so the Lord God decided to destroy them all, in the Great Flood; a disaster that could have occurred 13,000 years ago when a comet exploded over the North American continent. This event caused glaciers to melt, causing sea levels to rise and temperatures to fall, and it killed millions of animals such as the saber-toothed tiger and mammoth, and destroyed all traces of ancient civilizations that may have been transmitted or created by extraterrestrial "gods."
