We know how the movement of the Earth in orbit around the sun set the stage how time is measured on the planet we live upon. It was known as earthly time to our long- ago ancestors. Early man, despite no known technology knew of all the planets in our solar system. They also knew of the Zodiac, it's twelve houses or ages as they were called and knew the names of each house. For early man, the Zodiac was "celestial time."
Six thousand years ago, the Sumerians knew the sky around earth were divided into 12 divisions each containing 30 degrees and each division was given the name of the star constellation in that division which represented a house or age. The twelve names of those divisions, house or age are Aquarius, Ares, Virgo, Leo, Cancer, Scorpius, Libra, Gemini, Taurus, Capricorn, Saggitarius and Pisces. They knew it took earth 2160 years to move from one Zodiac house to another and when that took place it was the beginning of a new age. Earth at the present time is in the house or age of Pisces and has been so since the year 60 B.C. and will enter the house or age of Aquarius in the year 2100, 74 years from now. To the ancient people the Zodiac and Astrology were one and the same. They believed that the arrival of a new age was a portend as to what might take place, good fortune or bad.
The Zodiac still presents a problem for the scientific community today. Why would early man have a need for the Zodiac and for what purpose. How did they make the observations and calculations needed with the lack of required technology? Since it takes planet earth 2160 years to move from one Zodiac age to another one and only those living at the time can live it are those who will be alive in 2100 when earth enters the Zodiac age of Aquarius, what is the point. The scientific community has no answers.
But Zacharia Sitchin does. The author of a series of books titled, "The Earth Chronicles" written over a 30 year period and in his first book published in the 1970's titled, "The 12th Planet" lays out written records discovered with pictures which he offers as proof. That alien's came to earth long, long ago to seek gold that was needed on their home planet Nibiru. They were the Nefilim who landed with their rank and file Anunnaki (those who from heaven to earth came). The Nefilim were mentioned in the original Hebrew bible in section 7 which states they were upon the Earth along with man at a certain period of time. They are the ones responsible for the Pyramids at Giza, the Sphinx and other great structures still standing today and amaze.
The Nefilim were responsible for teaching man how to measure time on earth and created the Zodiac and celestial time to correspond to their time and customs on their home planet Nibiru. It was they who gave early man civilization over a period of time such as the bronze age, the iron age and etc. They taught man the ways of the heavens and the earth. They brought Kingship from their planet to earth and established Kings to serve as an intermediate between the people and the Nefilim. The Nefilim were the GOD's of the 3 great early civilizations of the Sumerians, Egypt and the Indus Valley.
Today, we pay little attention to the Zodiac except for the astrological part which people use in their daily lives. One's horoscope can be read every day in the media and predictions of things to come rule some people lives. We know for a fact that President Reagan's wife Nancy used astrology to choose the most favorable time for him to travel, make speeches and direct his scheduling. The ancient Hebrew word Mazal means a constellation or planet which is an astrological part of the Zodiac. But it was also a celestial term meaning animal house. It was a time when the ancient Jewish people thought a person's fate could be determined by the positions of the stars and planets at time of birth.
Sitchin's books show a cylinder seal that was discovered in Sumer that dates around 3000 B.C. and is now stored in a state museum in East Berlin. It is of Sumerian origin and depicts the solar system containing 12 bodies with the sun at the center, But, the seal depicts an extra body that Sitchin says represents the planet Nibiru (planet of crossing) whose vast orbit takes it between Mars and Jupiter every 3600 years. He also publishes a map that was excavated that he says describes the flight the Nefilim/Anunnaki's took to land on planet earth.
Today there is still an ongoing debate as to who built the great pyramids at Giza, Egypt. Most in the scientific community say the Pharaoh's did but Sitchin introduces evidence that the pyramids were standing there several thousand years before civilization began in Egypt in 3100 B.C. He also offers evidence that the Giza pyramids were built at the severe angle of 52 degrees. And when the Pharoah tried to duplicate the building of their own pyramids, they collapsed. As a result, the Pharoah's ended up building their pyramids at the lesser angle of 43-1/2 degrees. He introduces evidence of the collapsed pyramids still on the ground when his book was published. The Giza pyramids were built by the Nefilim/anunnaki as part of their landing grid on earth. They also built the Sphinx as it gazes along the 30th parallel which was considered holy and their holy temples in LHASA, Eridu, Heliopolis, Harappa and Persepolis were all built astride the 30 parallel.
The bible and evidence that have been unearthed, tell us that civilization began in the land of Sumer, Mesopotamia, (land between the two rivers) in the year 3800 B.C. It was followed by the Egyptian civilization in 3100 B.C. and then by the Indus Valley Civilization in 2900 B.C. All three of those civilizations believed those who came to planet earth taught them everything and gave them knowledge of the ways of the heavens and the earth. The Sumerians said they were taught that the key to a better future, was to understand the mistakes of the past, or the future will be like the failed past. That they were also taught the difference between man's fate and man's destiny. That man's fate, (Nam Tar) could be altered by himself and other forces and that man's destiny (Nam) could not be altered, changed and was predetermined. It was a belief passed down from the Nefilim. Webster's dictionary says the two words mean the same thing. Of significance in Sitchin's books is a copy of a Mesopotamian cylinder seal that was discovered dated back to 1300 B.C. that clearly depicts a rocket ship with fire coming out the rear flying in the sky. Other copies showing rocket ships on the ground. He also notes that Moslem Mosques, even to this day, are flanked by minarets that simulate multistage rocketships ready to be launched. Sitchin says that is so because that is what early man observed.
The scientific community is not ready to cross the bridge of accepting alien life, be it concerning UFO's, the conclusions of Sitchin's books or the Alien stories being aired on the story history channel on TV or other talk of such alien life. They are not sure what it would do to the creationist/evolution point of view. The biblical prophets who spoke about and predicted the "End of Days" and were living before the birth of Jesus never said exactly when that date would occur. One of the answers was, a time, times and a half time and since that prediction was made over 2 thousand years ago it obviously did not include earthly time. And why was it mentioned to the people so long ago who would never experience it? Sitchin, in his last published book before he passed away, titled, the "End of Days" talked of the subject matter at length. He concluded that all the signs point to astrology and that the "End of Days" will take place while earth is in the house or age of Pisces which will come to an end in 2100 when earth will move into the new age of Aquarius. So, the "End of Days" will take place between now and the year 2100. To early man and the ancient Jewish people, astrology played a large part in their religion and culture. If Sitchin is correct, what will the new age of Aquarius bring to mankind's future? Will it's fortune be good or bad?
Sitchin tells us the Nefilim left earth in 556 B.C. and for the first time, man was without his GODS and cast about looking for a savior. How does present humankind measure up compared to what the Sumerians said they were taught? Can we say we learned from the mistakes of the past and are living in a better future? If not, humankind can change its fate for the better of all humanity if the courage is there to do so.
