AC: Yes.
KC: At that site, which again, and then of course Sumer…
AC: Yes.
KC: …and the Sumerian tablets all relate to a race that came from the stars.
AC: According to Zecharia Sitchin of course. I mean I have to be totally honest. I am not a big fan of Zecharia Sitchin and his interpretation of the ancient texts.
KC: Okay, but earth… from heaven to earth came…
AC: Yes.
KC: This is an interpretation…
AC: Yes. My idea of the Anunnaki is completely separate. I wrote a book in 1996 called From the Ashes of Angels, where I read the ancient texts or at least read all the translations that were available at that time. I mean we are not talking about the modern, boring state ones, but ones from the past, 1910, the 1920s; I’ve got all of the original material. I even learned Hebrew so that I could read these and read all the characters. These talk about the Anunnaki being virtually a physical race of individuals, let’s call them that, that existed in a physical sense and it says that they lived in a mountain-like retreat, something like a kibbutz of Israeli, you know, traditions today, and that they were removed from the mortal world, but they would interact with it.
And this world was seen to be somewhere in the North. It was a place where the Cedar forests were and although they are most obviously associated with Lebanon today. However, there were huge Cedar forests to the north of the area where Sumer and Akkad, Babylon and Syria, and this was the area of the Taurus Mountains. And this is the area where Gobekli Tepe is in southeast Turkey. The Gobekli Tepe is the oldest known temple complex in the world.
From my research, I concluded that the Anunnaki was another name for these individuals called the Watchers of The Book of Enoch, whose offspring was the Nephilim, and that these two, these same incredible beings of flesh and blood that existed in the past and were said to have been giving the arts and sciences of Heaven to humankind.
KC: Uh huh.
AC: To me these guys were born on this earth.
KC: But what about the line that says they came from the planet called Nibiru.
AC: Well that’s again the work of Zecharia Sitchin. Now, Zecharia Sitchin died last year, there is a lot coming out to suggest that some of his translations of the actual texts are not as they should be and I read The Twelfth Planet, which is a great book, directly after I finished work on From the Ashes of Angels, it gets a very brief mention at the end of it, and in my opinion, his translation of the same texts that I had been looking at were completely wrong.
KC: Okay.
AC: And you know that’s a personal opinion, but I happen to know that a various of my colleagues share that opinion.
KC: Sure.
AC: They also look at those. In other words, they [the texts] don’t talk about the Anunnaki coming from other planets. You know, they talk about them as a race, as a community of beings, which appear to be flesh and blood, or appear to be immortal. Now what immortal means is up to the individual. I see it as a living across generations at a time when most other people would probably have had a life span of maybe 30 or 40, perhaps these guys lived for a hundred [years], same as we do today or maybe be even longer. Obviously, there are a lot of traditions to do with Biblical figures, patriarchs, living across hundreds of years. Perhaps that’s what these guys were doing, they were immortals, but I believe myself that they were flesh and blood.
KC: Okay, and would you acknowledge that they were also very, very tall?
AC: Absolutely. I mean, all of the texts suggest, you know, they talk about them as tall as trees, giants, and certainly their offspring were giants. And what that obviously means is that, you know, as far as human offspring, they were large sized, and there are some quite disturbing stories about women having to undergo caesarean sections, to remove the babies, because, you know, their birth canals were just too narrow for the child to come out.
KC: Okay, what about Akhenaten and Nefertiti and the notion that they might have been from another planet?
AC: Yes, unfortunately I studied… I can’t really handle, I mean the original ideas for this probably come from the fact that they are depicted with extremely long faces. And this same idea of long faces is there with the Watchers as related in the Book of Enoch.
KC: But it’s more than long faces. It is an elongated skull.
AC: Absolutely, elongated heads.
KC: Yes, they have found skulls like that.
