The Sumerian Origins of Meso-American Civilization.

 

Call this the Sumerian origins of Meso-American Civilization. I am convinced of that more than ever, especially after reading this work by Zecharia Sitchin. He proves his points well, not sure if I buy into the whole ancient alien theory but it does have merit.

When the Europeans from Spain came, they found, much to their surprise, they found a highly advanced civilization that would rival anything found in Europe. They had kings, militaries, hospitals, and plenty of gold. The gold was reserved for the gods. The Spaniards wanted it and waged wars over it. Starting with the Aztecs they took over civilization by kidnapping the leader an demanding gold. First the Mayans, then Aztecs and the list goes on. They went searching for gold, obviously they found a bunch of it. The Catholic church wanted to convert the population and destroyed religious building and religious texts.

Starting with the Aztecs, who were they. They Nuatl people and they descend from someone In a cave. They were told to move to different locations much like the Israelites. They came from Aztlan but no one knows where that is. But the Aztecs were not the ones who started all this.

The Olmecs were the first. It is speculated that they arrived here on boats from across the Atlantic. They have African features. Evidence is in the large head uncovered on the Yucatan Peninsula. In their company were semitic looking people. It can be speculated that they were originally from Egypt and that they may have ventured over on Phoenician ships. In the end they were massacred by the Indians. Other groups were present like the Maya and Inca.

In all these groups one finds names, place names and god names that are eerily similar to Sumerian, Egyptian and Israelite names and places. While this leaves no doubt in my mid that they came from the Middle East originally, why did they come over there to the America’s?

Back in Sumeria they used tin to make Bronze. It was a metal that made for good weapons and good utensils. It was a combination of copper and tin. They were running out of Tin. Many place names where it was mined had a Sumerian type name that implied the meaning of tin.  They got tin from here. They also got gold and the Annunaki needed gold for their defective atmosphere.

Many of the pyramids and building were done in a style reminiscent to Sumerian and Egyptian architecture and there was similar pictographic writing. Many of their tales are very similar to tales or myths that come out of the middle east or Africa. The next question is how did they know to find tin there? How did they get this knowledge? Could have been trial and error got shipwrecked and just happened to find the place, or someone who was more advanced and had been there told them about it.  Who were these advanced beings? Some say that there was the remnants of an advanced civilization that went around and helped these people or it was aliens. Could have been either one.

The theory point out a lot of flaws in our way of thinking about human history. Like how did these civilizations just pop up out of nowhere? How did humans become human so quickly with no phases of development being recorded.
