Iraqi Minister of Transport Kazim Finjan recently visited the province of Di-Qar in the south of the country, where he made a strange statement during a press conference for journalists, which was attended by representatives of foreign media, NEWSru. Israil reports.
According to the minister, the first airports and spaceports were created not in the twentieth century, but much earlier. They were built by the ancient Sumerians about seven thousand years ago. At least two spaceports, Finjan specified, were located in the cities of Eridu and Ur (see photo). They were used to fly to the planets of our solar system up to Pluto, and maybe even further …
The minister's words surprised the audience so much that the journalists, despite their well-known curiosity and arrogance in obtaining "hot" information, did not dare to ask any provocative questions to a high-ranking official.
Note that politicians rarely open up in this way, showing their views that are clearly at odds with the attitudes of academic science, including history, space, UFOs. For example, the most striking case of such a revelation, which was a definite shock for the whole world, was the statement on Russian television (Posner's program) on April 26, 2010 by the first president of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. He told a multimillion audience that in 1997 he was invited by aliens in yellow spacesuits, who woke him up on a September night in his Moscow apartment, to take a walk on their ship, and that Kirsan agreed to this and successfully (not without interest for himself and the aliens themselves) flew on a UFO.
Note that representatives of the LDPR party then immediately turned to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev with a request to investigate whether Ilyumzhinov had revealed any state secrets to the newcomers. Maybe for this very reason, high officials, even when faced with supernatural phenomena and receiving unique information, never share it with the general public - this is dangerous for their well-being, and even life.
By the way, journalists also tortured Ilyumzhinov, why, they say, did he tell the world about the aliens? To which an honest and to some extent even naive politician, somewhat surprised by this question, frankly said: Posner asked - I replied that it was strange …
