According to the ancient culture in the Middle East known as Sumer a race of creatures from a rogue planet came to Earth several hundred thousand years ago in search of natural resources. Specifically gold, though it's hard to believe that they would not take whatever else they might need while they were here.

The ancient Sumerian aliens came to Earth with a goal in mind.

When the clay writings of Sumeria were found it took many years to translate them. There are literally thousands of these tablets and the information on many of them is still not fully understood. Zecharia Sitchin and others worked diligently and slowly a picture began to unfold. Once translated the stories of ancient Sumerian aliens amazed and confounded them.

How did these primitive people have knowledge of our solar system that surpassed our own? So they continued translating.

The information imparted in these writings told of a race of beings, the Annunaki, who came to Earth in search of gold to implement in their technology. According to the writings the ancient Sumerian aliens needed gold most importantly for one purpose. A radiation barrier to prevent the searing solar wind from devastating their planet each time it travels close to the sun.

Atomized gold, if suspended in their upper atmosphere could protect them from the intense radiation and they were here to mine. It is a wonderful coincidence that we also use gold for this purpose in the glass of fighter jet canopies and in equipment sent into space, though we have been hording it since we had little use for it beyond a paper weight. On the cylinders it describes how 60 of the Annunaki came to Earth and began mining its gold resources.

After many years of toil the ancient Sumerian aliens grew tired of working.

The Annunaki are a race of beings who live a very long time and after a couple hundred thousand years they became weary of the work and sought a solution to their dilemma. The medical specialist of the host of 60 who had been here for so long came up with a solution. They would use the DNA of a primitive creature from Earth and combine it with theirs in order to make a worker to toil for them.

This medical specialist created "the adam", which in Sumerian means literally "the worker" in their image. In the Hebrew Book of Genesis it states "and the Elohim created the Adam"; this translates "and the Gods created the Worker." Why would the Gods, plural not singular, create the Adam? Are you the Tommy or just Tommy? The word "Elohim" was never singular in old Hebrew and the word "adam" in Sumerian means worker, not a common name.

The only quality they did not imbue into this created being was their longevity. The stories detail at least two separate attempts to perfect this being and at last they were satisfied. Their work was not approved of by those in command on their planet, Nibiru, however and there was a great deal of conflict over the creation of the adam.

This conflict resulted in battles fought both politically and physically amongst these beings. This conflict lasted many years and may still continue today considering the long lifespans of the ancient Sumerian aliens.

The ancient Sumerian aliens left the Adam to do their work.

For several hundred thousand years the Annunaki oversaw the work of the adam, or worker, and fostered its multiplication on the Earth to mine more efficiently. Different ancient Sumerian aliens would take turns ruling over the primitive creatures for tens of thousands of years apiece making them seemingly immortal, though it was implied that they are not.

Their planet's 3600 year orbit took it far out into the Oort cloud beyond Pluto in between slingshots through the inner solar system which brought it dangerously close to planets and the sun. At some point in the not too distant past they either left Earth or determined that the adam no longer would be allowed to know of their existence directly, because they vanished from public view.

Are they still here, manipulating events from behind the scenes or did they go home for a while before returning? That is the golden question.

The gold is disappearing, does that mean the ancient Sumerian aliens are back?

Humans have always mined gold. Long before we knew it was crucial for advanced technology or radiation shields we have sought it out on every continent and with a never ending fervor. Our wars are fought over it. Our currencies are based on it.

When all we knew to do with it was make statues we would make so many you could fill a ballroom with them. For absolutely no reason we would ruin iron tools and weapons, murder and thieve, in order to get more gold for which we had no use.

We have horded it throughout our history for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Over the last hundred years, coinciding with all our seemingly endless technological advancements, our search has become more intense and more efficient. Have they been giving us technology to make us more efficient workers?

Gold from all over the world has been stolen from nations and private citizens both in peace time and war time, at whatever cost necessary. The current tally of all the gold in the world has been artificially deflated to make it appear that there has never been much when a great deal of evidence exists that the total gold mined in the world is hundreds, if not thousands of times, more than stated in official reports.

Where is it going? Is the disappearance of hundreds of thousands, or perhaps millions, of tons of gold evidence that they have returned and are gathering their prize? If not then where is it all going and why this massive concerted effort to gather it from all corners of the planet and squirrel it away? You can't possibly spend all that hidden wealth, not in hundreds of lifetimes and certainly not while it's hidden.

Why are we making huge underground cities that very few humans are ever destined to live in? Why have we been so compulsively obsessed with gold since it was useless to us for anything more than trinkets and paper weights?

What the heck is up with this gold fever that appears to be instinctual and were we literally made this way on purpose? Is this all the work of ancient Sumerian aliens? If so what do they plan next?
