In this deep dive I take you through Zecharia Sitchin's translation of the Enuma Elish and the Sumerian cosmological tablets — the ancient texts that describe a complete history of our solar system that predates modern astronomy by millennia. A rogue planet entering the inner solar system. A catastrophic collision that created the Earth, the Moon, and the asteroid belt in a single event. The seeding of life through the transfer of genetic material between worlds. The engineering of homo sapiens through the deliberate modification of existing primate DNA. And a cyclical 3,600-year orbital period that the ancients tracked with mathematical precision. Whether Sitchin got every translation right is debated. Whether the Sumerians knew things they should not have known is not. Someone told them. This episode investigates who — and why.
