The first culture on this planet were the Sumerians 2012. Your history books lied to you! Sorry
In a thought-provoking YouTube video, viewers are taken on a journey through the often-overlooked history of the Sumerians, positing that they were the first advanced civilization on Earth. The speaker discusses how contemporary understanding of human evolution and civilization is often flawed, specifically citing mitochondrial DNA studies that suggest humanity is much older than traditional narratives propose.
According to the video, which heavily references the works of author Zecharia Sitchin, the Sumerians were pioneers in numerous aspects of society including writing, law, and calendar systems—essentially laying the groundwork for future civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks. It argues that historical narratives typically ignore the rich culture and contributions of the Sumerians, who inhabited parts of modern-day Iraq around 6,000 years ago and are credited with creating early forms of writing (cuneiform), mathematics, and even the Zodiac.
A fascinating segment of the video delves into Sitchin's interpretation of Sumerian texts that describe ancient astronauts, referred to as the Anunnaki, who supposedly influenced early human development. The speaker suggests that the historical context provided by the Sumerians gives rise to questioning long-held beliefs in evolutionary theory and highlights the parallels between Sumerian mythology and modern religions.
The speaker encourages listeners to challenge the established historical narratives and to explore the invaluable knowledge that the Sumerians may offer about humanity's origins. They assert that there is much to be uncovered regarding our ancestry and the implications of genetic engineering—drawing a comparison to modern practices of genetic manipulation. This perspective not only fosters curiosity about ancient civilizations but also invites contemplation on the very nature of human existence.
The video underscores the importance of rediscovering history beyond conventional teachings and urges viewers to remain open-minded about the past, implying that True history may be far more complex and divergent from what is typically taught in schools.
