Did enormous and frightening creatures once inhabit the Earth, as speculated in the Ancient Aliens theory?

The Ancient Aliens Theory: Uncovering Evidence of Giant Creatures That Roamed the Earth

This site, located in ancient Mesopotamia and considered the birthplace of human civilization, contains the ruins of the once-great city of Nineveh. Among the artifacts discovered here are Sumerian Tablets dating as far back as 1800 BC, which tell the tale of King Gilgamesh. This epic poem features Gilgamesh and his companion Enkidu, a wild, hairy man who lives apart from human society. What makes the Epic of Gilgamesh so intriguing is that it portrays Enkidu as a giant and suggests that he may have had extraterrestrial origins, according to ancient Sumerian texts. Enkidu is described as a hairy, monster-like creature with immense strength, akin to Bigfoot or Sasquatch. The Sumerian texts claim that Enkidu was created by the gods as a new being, genetically marked to serve as their slave. This raises the question: is it possible, as some ancient astronaut theorists propose, that the Epic of Gilgamesh describes a hominid created by extraterrestrial beings? The Sumerian texts also mention ancient sky gods known as the Anunnaki who visited Earth.

According to the ancient astronaut theory, the gods mentioned in ancient accounts were most likely extraterrestrials who genetically marked a beast that later evolved into Bigfoot and Sasquatch. Could these human-like beasts provide further evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial beings throughout human history? Some believe that the giant in the biblical story of David and Goliath could also be an early representation of Bigfoot. Although Goliath was huge, hairy, and terrifying, he did not live apart from human society like Enkidu. Instead, he was used as a weapon of terror against the Israelites. However, other accounts in various cultures and nations around the world also mention giant, hairy, and wild men, suggesting that such creatures were prevalent and widespread in the past.

For instance, legends and tales of giants have been present in cultures from South America and Native American Indians to Europe, Russia, China, Tibet, and Australia. Even visitors to the Mediterranean island of Sardinia have heard stories about a race of giants who once lived there thousands of years ago. Despite little physical evidence to support these myths, more giant bones were reportedly discovered during archaeological excavations in 1979, providing a glimmer of hope for those who believe in the existence of extraterrestrial beings and their influence on human history.

I conducted interviews with two individuals who participated in the excavation of the neurologic ruins beneath the Church of Santa Anastasia in the town of Sadhara. They both uncovered multiple skeletons of giants ranging from 9 to 12 feet tall at different periods of time. However, the bones would disappear overnight after being taken into the church. This phenomenon has been reported in hundreds of excavations where the bones of giants were allegedly unearthed and then hidden away. Before leaving Sardinia, Marty and I were supposed to see an actual giant bone, but the person who had it withdrew and did not show it to us. This raises questions about whether censorship is at play in Sardinia, and whether physical evidence that could prove the existence of giants has been deliberately hidden away and by whom.

Regarding the possibility of ancient astronaut visits to Sardinia, I believe it is highly likely, as similar megalithic structures of unknown origin exist elsewhere on the planet. This similarity adds to the bigger picture that our ancestors were all visited by the same teachers. I think this approach is the correct scientific way to go about things, starting with a hypothesis and then testing it against reality and evidence. I hope that through our conversation, you will continue to explore other places and become convinced that ancient astronauts visited this planet, inspiring people to build these structures. I cannot prove you wrong, and the book is still open for further exploration.

In February 2018, a groundbreaking genetic study was published in the journal Nature by Harvard researchers, revealing a stunning discovery about ancient human DNA. The study found that immediately after Stonehenge was built, the ancient inhabitants of Britain who built it suddenly and almost completely vanished from the British Isles, leaving behind virtually no DNA in the modern British population. The study suggests that the genetic signature of the Neolithic inhabitants of the British Isles vanished shortly after the period in which they built Stonehenge, and was largely replaced by an entirely new human culture in a very short amount of time. This conclusion is a bombshell and remains a profound historical mystery.

The study used a revolutionary new technique that samples DNA from ancient human bones and compares it to the DNA of modern people in the same place, allowing scientists to determine what percentage of the modern population is descended from the ancient group. The new genetic data provide an example of population replacement, in which the genetic markers that characterize one population are almost entirely replaced in a relatively short amount of time by the genetic signature that characterizes another population from a different part of the world.

The strange disappearance of the Stonehenge Builders remains a profound historical mystery. Some ancient astronaut theorists and flood myths found worldwide suggest that it might point to a deliberate cleansing of the human genetic line. Further evidence of this can be found with the recent discovery of a confounding genetic lineage that is proven nearly impossible to trace back through the Bering Strait migration. In 1998, researchers at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia analyzed DNA data collected from various Native American populations and found that a small portion of the native population falls completely outside any previously known genetic group, which they dub the X lineage.

One human haplogroup that stands out is the X lineage, which is found in approximately 2.5% of some Native American populations, as well as in small groups of Northern Europeans and Middle Easterners. Despite the lack of connection between these groups, it is fascinating that the ancestry of the X haplogroup cannot be traced. Scientists are unable to explain why these groups are so different and unrelated to each other. The origin of the X lineage remains a mystery, but some ancient astronaut theorists suggest that it might be related to a lost race of people who were reported to have existed throughout the world, including North America. There is a possibility that this gene is related to the giants who were reported in many parts of the world, including America, starting in the mid-1800s. Archaeologists discovered oversized skeletons of giants who were seven to eight feet tall in many cases, and the Smithsonian Institute excavated many such skeletons in the Valley of the Giants in West Virginia. Despite the discovery of these giants, the government policy of denial of the discovery of gigantic human skeletons was not enacted until the 1920s.

According to Native American legends, there were Giants, and it seems that we have discovered evidence of their existence in West Virginia. However, this proof has been kept hidden, possibly because it does not align with our current understanding of human evolution. This discovery prompts us to consider whether there is a connection with extraterrestrial life and who these Giants were. They were said to be up to eight feet tall, and it's unclear whether they are related to the Giants mentioned in the Bible. Although archaeologists have not yet solved this mystery, it's possible that extraterrestrial DNA may provide some answers.
