Most of our readers, most likely, are well acquainted with the interpretation of the Sumerian texts by Zechariah Sitchin, who first introduced the general public to the Anunnaki and told the world about the mysterious planet Nibiru, from which they arrived.
Since the publication of Sitchin's first books, they have provoked violent protests from all kinds of "academics" from archeology, history and linguistics. It is especially amusing to read the protests of official linguists. For example, a certain Roger W. Wescott, an entire professor of anthropology and linguistics at Drew University, New Jersey, notes Sitchin's amateur level of "knowledge of the Sumerian language":
Sitchin's knowledge of linguistics is at least as amateurish as it is in anthropology, biology and astronomy. For example, on page 370, he states that "all ancient languages … including early Chinese … date back to one main source - the Sumerian language." However, of course, the Sumerian language is actually the archetype of what taxonomic linguists call isolated languages, that is, it does not fall into any of the known language families and does not show a clear relationship with any of the known languages. Even if we assume that Sitchin does not mean spoken language, but only writing, it is highly unlikely that even such an assumption could be convincingly proven, since the Sumerian ideograms were preceded by the writing of the Azilian and Terterian cultures in Europeas well as various types of writing in the territories between the Nile and Indus rivers.
If Zachariya Sitchin decided to independently study some difficult language, for example, Korean, and then started translating the immortal speeches of Kim Jong-un or his dad, the criticism of his translations from professional translators from Korean would probably be justified.
Professionals master the language as: first, they study from textbooks at the university, after which they are thrown into the language environment, where they learn to understand everything correctly from scratch. Therefore, it is quite natural that even the dumbest professional translator of this or that language understands this language more than the smartest academician who studied something there from books.
However, with Sumerian, with ancient Egyptian and other dead languages, the situation is completely different because their speakers have long died. In the world, no one knows anything, from the word at all, about the Sumerian language. At best, in the cuneiform tablets, based on early Chinese characters and modern Hebrew, one can recognize some letters. But only an engaged idiot, broadcasting to the audience of the same idiots, can talk about some kind of "spoken Sumerian language". You might just as well begin to interpret some kind of "interstellar language."
All that remains of the Sumerians are these clay tablets, which only the people who wrote them could read correctly. And today they are all interpreted as they please, including Mr. Sitchin, who has every right to do so.

Since the topic of Australopithecus paleocotacs with a high-tech civilization goes very far beyond the scope of archeology and is closely related to world politics, for obvious reason, conspiracy theorists are also interested in these mysterious Anunnaki.
If we assume that the contact, as Mr. Sitchin writes, was and “brothers in mind” organized everything on the planet, the question arises: where did they go afterwards? Plunged back into their "flying iron boats" and departed in an unknown direction? Or continue to remain on Earth, regulating the development of civilization and geopolitics?
In the light of these considerations, more and more people are becoming interested in the Anunnaki, including professional historians and linguists, who are not very satisfied with the "generally accepted" dogmas of the official faith. In particular, one of these teams was engaged in re-translations of Sumerian texts, from the new interpretation of which even Zachariya Sitchin himself would have been stunned. The translators have created their own website where you can get to know the authors in detail.
As you can see, people have taken up the topic adults, educated, with volumes of scientific papers on the profile, so their interpretation of the Sumerian cuneiform deserves attention. There is only one very big drawback in their work: the authors immediately began to ask for money for their materials, which immediately stalled the widespread popularization of the study.
It is obvious that further, seeing that the project was stalling, the authors went to YouTube, where they talked a little about their translations for free in the most general terms. And it turns out that their linguistic findings are really amazing and probably deserve financial support:
At the beginning of the film, the authors talk about the very principle of their approach to Sumerian texts. Since the Sumerian language is dead, and the existing dictionaries are in great doubt, the authors relied mainly on Greek and Semitic languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Assyrian and others) in their research. And their first discovery concerned the so-called "Garden of Eden", judging by the description of which people worked there as slaves.
This "Garden of Eden" looked more like a concentration camp and was located around a place whose name most likely reads Kharsag. According to the authors, the closest sounding geographical name today is Karadag, that is, the highest mountain in the territory of modern Turkey (although there is a mountain with the same name in Crimea).
In space, as far as can be judged from the Sumerian texts, somewhere in the Pleiades region there was a war, as a result of which the defeated Anunnaki fled to the edge of the Galaxy, found the solar system and chose Earth on it for colony and genetic experiments.
As a starting material, the Anunnaki used fragments of the genome of their space enemies, their genocode and the DNA of primates that lived on the planet. From all these recombinations, they created different types of people. One type worked in the "Garden of Eden" like cattle, the second type was the population of a military training ground similar to the city from the series Westworld. The "gods" themselves apparently dwelt on the Karadag mountain.
The planet was ruled, as it were, by a council of "gods", among which were the chiefs Enlil and Enki. There was no special understanding between the "gods", especially in relation to people: Enlil considered their herd of mindless biorobots, and Enki demanded to stop bullying them. In the end, Enki appeared in the "Garden of Eden" and, somehow, incited the slaves to revolt, perhaps giving them some kind of weapon.
According to the translators of the Sumerian texts, this episode is reflected in the Bible as a visit to Eve by a serpent, since the Anunnaki were genetically reptiles. Since Eve appears in the biblical episode with the apple and the snake, it is possible that we are talking about a collective image of women, with whom Enki corrected genetics and a new generation of "working individuals" was born not as brainless as the collective Adam, therefore it was very dissatisfied with life in " paradise ". Ultimately, an uprising began in the "paradise" and the slaves, at least partially, killed the "gods" who ruled them, for which the "gods" arranged a flood for people.
The video presented to your attention has received several million views and thousands of comments, many of which can be described as "gnashing of teeth", since the new translation of the Sumerian cuneiform, to put it mildly, slightly destroys the generally accepted religious dogma and strongly echoes the Greek myth of Prometheus, which cannot be a simple coincidence.
But what caused the most protests was the authors' assumption that there is a war in the Middle East, not because they found some kind of puddle of oil, which is already abundant everywhere, but because the superpower governments are looking for the legendary Kharsag and the surviving after the uprising and the flood, some artifacts.
However, what is most interesting about this new translation is that it clearly has analogies with the most sensational science fiction films of recent years, such as Westworld, Colony and Planet of the Apes. Many conspiracy theorists have long had the feeling that these films showed everything as it is, and a new interpretation of Sumerian mythology only further strengthened this general suspicion.
