Ancient Aliens and Secret Societies

Introduction

In my last three books, Ancient Aliens on the Moon, Ancient Aliens on Mars and Ancient Aliens on Mars II, we have examined the presence of ancient extraterrestrial artifacts on other planets. We have uncovered many mysteries, from the Daedalus Ziggurat to the Flying Saucer in a Bunker on the Moon; we have unmasked the truth about the Face on Mars (that it’s artificial) dug up the Monolith on Phobos and exposed the awe inspiring reality of Parrott City on Mars. But in the course of those books and that journey we have always been left with one nagging and seemingly unanswerable question: What did NASA know and when did they know it?

This book, Ancient Aliens and Secret Societies, will attempt to answer that question by asking at least three more questions. First, is there evidence to suggest that some of these ruins we have identified on other planets come from a true Ancient Alien civilization? Is there evidence in Earth’s ancient histories, myths and legends to support the Ancient Alien theory that gods from on high came down to Earth thousands of years ago and interacted with human beings? Second, did some of this ancient knowledge of Man’s hidden destiny fall under the control of a select few self-appointed anointed ones, who then kept the knowledge for themselves and undermined the original intent of the grantors of Mankind’s future history? And third, did this ancient knowledge somehow find its way into NASA in the early 1960s, driving the secret goals, ambitions and desires of the Apollo program and dictating what NASA did and did not show the world of what they discovered?

As we travel these pages I believe the answers to all of these questions will become self-evident and clear. Yes, human beings have had interactions with extraterrestrial beings (as opposed to Aliens) who helped us crawl out of the dust of the last ice age more than 12,000 years ago. Yes, once these godsleft for whatever reason, this secret history of the human race was usurped by a self-appointed elite who were supposed to be the caretakers— not the beneficiaries—of the knowledge they had obtained. And yes, NASA knew all about this ancient truth, humanity’s true origins and destiny, before they ever launched the first rickety and clumsy rockets into space to confirm it.

It is my personal belief that the universe works on a simple concept that is commonly known in modern times as a legal Trust. In a Trust, there are three parties. The first is the Grantor, the person (or entity) who gifts (grants) an item of value to another person or entity. That item of value can be currency, material goods, an idea, or even just some documents that have an inherent value. The second leg of a trust is the Trustee. The Trustees are charged with seeing that the original intent of the Grantor is carried out in accordance with his wishes. They are not intended to benefit from this role in any way, beyond what may be cited by the Grantor in the original formation of the Trust. The final role in the Trust is the Beneficiary, the person, persons or entities that are meant to receive the gifts specified by the Grantor(s). So I look at the questions this book will review in the context of a legal Trust.

I believe, and I hope this book will show, that the three roles in this Trust are defined as follows: The Grantors are our Ancient Alien ancestors, who granted the sacred knowledge of our extraterrestrial origins to the intended Beneficiaries, being the entire human race. The Trustees of the sacred information were intended to be the secret societies—the priests, mystics and teachers of this ancient knowledge. But somewhere along the line they lost their way. They thought their special knowledge made them special, above all other men, and they kept the secrets they were supposed to tell for themselves, forgetting that they were only the caretakers of them, not the Beneficiaries. What I intend to do with this book is to reconstruct how this tragic usurpation of the gods’ original intent happened, the consequences it created, and the corrections that must be made to restore the gift that our Ancient Alien brothers intended us to have.

The reason for this is simple. It’s time. Time to correct the wrongs that have taken place, and time to set humanity back on the path we were intended to walk. One that these secretive groups have kept us from for far too long.

This will be a long, long journey. We may as well start at the beginning…

Chapter 1

Out of the Ashes

It has long been known that legends of a great flood, in which almost all men perished, are widely diffused over the world.

—James George Frazer,

Folk-Lore in the Old Testament, Vol. 1.¹

Virtually all ancient cultures agree on one thing, whether they were ever in contact with each other or not: Thousands of years ago, there was a worldwide global catastrophe, specifically a Great Flood of the Earth.

So many of these widely separated civilizations tell the same story, with details ranging from the flood or deluge itself, to a boat or ark being constructed, to animals and humans being saved, to the sending out of a bird to determine when dry land had reemerged from the waters of the deluge, to the landing on a mountaintop, that it is well-nigh impossible to discount them as coincidence. Modern geologists insist that there is no evidence of such an event, which is a highly debatable conclusion as we will learn. But separate from that, the simple existence of similar stories from all over the globe, from civilizations separated by vast extents of time and geographic distance, argues that something is quite wrong with our current understanding of our ancient past. At the least, these widely separated and widely viewed as primitive civilizations must have had contact with each other, despite the experts’ claims to the contrary. Otherwise we are faced with an even more untenable proposition: that each of these ancient civilizations drew their creation/flood myths from the same root source. It also follows that this root source must have been a vast, widespread and highly advanced antediluvian civilization. In other words, Atlantis.

Setting aside for the moment the question of whether the Biblical deluge actually occurred, a quick study of the myths themselves almost forces one to consider the Atlantis scenario first and foremost. The details of these stories are so exact in their concurrence that it makes the idea of a single root source a virtual lead pipe cinch. We can begin by simply noting on a few graphs and tables the identical details from civilizations separated by eons of time and thousands of miles.

The table above illustrates the point quite clearly. Out of 35 listed major flood myths (there are many other examples) from civilizations spanning vast distances and time and across all six continents, we see the same story told over and over again. All 35, from the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead to the more modern American Indian tales of the Tlingit tribe of Alaska, agree that the world was destroyed by water. All 35 also agree that at least some humans were deliberately spared by a deity or deities, and 32 of these flood stories claim this was done by the construction of a vessel, in essence the Ark of Noah. To a lesser extent, the stories also agree that animal life was also spared, that a warning was given, and that the Flood itself was caused by the deities, usually because of their displeasure with Man’s conduct. That’s a pretty amazing degree of consistency.

A comparison of the language used in the various stories is also illuminating. The Egyptian Book of the Dead contains several passages which seem to refer to the displeasure of the gods and the Deluge:

The great god Ra once assembled the other gods and said, ‘Behold, the men which have been begotten by myself, they utter words against me: tell me what you would do in such a case. Behold I have waited and have not slain them before listening to their words.’

The gods replied, ‘Let thy face permit it, and let those men who devise wicked things be smitten and let none among them survive.’ So the goddess named Hathor went forth among them and slew the men upon the earth: and behold Sechet for many nights trod with his feet in their blood even to the city of Hierapolis. The anger of Ra is appeased.’³

And later: ‘And further I (the god Tum) am going to deface all I have done; this earth will become an ocean through an inundation, as it was at the beginning.’⁴

In the Indian/Vedic/Hindu scriptures, the Noah character takes on the name Manu, but the details are similar. According to the Matsya Purana, Manu, who lived long ago, saved a small fish from the jaws of a large fish while washing himself. The fish told Manu, If you care for me until I am full grown I will save you from terrible things to come. Manu asked what kind of terrible things. The fish told Manu that a great flood would soon come and destroy everything on the Earth. The fish instructed Manu to build a large ship (an ark) since the flood was going to happen very soon, and to save all types of animals and the seeds of many others. As the rains started Manu tied a rope from the ship to the fish, which had grown very large, and the fish guided the ship as the waters rose. Eventually, as the deluge continued, the entire Earth was covered by water. When the waters began subsiding the fish led Manu’s ship to a mountaintop.⁵

In the Aztec tradition, the story is very similar. A man named Tapi, who was very pious, lived long ago. The Creator told Tapi to build a boat, and that he should take his wife and a pair of every animal that was alive into this boat. Like the Biblical Noah, he was shunned and told he was crazy by the local people. Then the rain started and the flood came, and men and animals tried to climb the mountains to escape but died when even the mountains were submerged. Finally the rain ended and Tapi decided that the water had receded when he let a dove loose that did not return, just as in the Biblical version.

The United States also has many ancient tales that concur with the idea of a Biblical flood, although scholars try to claim—with little to no evidence—that their creation myths were contaminated by European settlers much later. The Ojibwe Indians, who have lived in Minnesota since approximately 1400AD, have one example of such an account:

There came a time when the harmonious way of life did not continue. Men and women disrespected each other, families quarreled and soon villages began arguing back and forth. This saddened Gitchie Manitou [the Creator] greatly, but he waited. Finally, when it seemed there was no hope left, the Creator decided to purify Mother Earth through the use of water. The water came, flooding the Earth, catching all of creation off guard. Only a few of each living thing survived.

Then it tells how the Noah character, Waynaboozhoo, survived by floating on a log in the water with various animals.

The Delaware Indians, some 1,100 miles separated from the Ojibwe, tell a similar tale:

In the pristine age, the world lived at peace; but an evil spirit came and caused a great flood. The Earth was submerged. A few persons had taken refuge on the back of a turtle, so old that his shell had collected moss. A loon flew over their heads and was entreated to dive beneath the water and bring up land. It found only a bottomless sea. Then the bird flew far away, came back with a small portion of Earth in its bill, and guided the tortoise to a place where there was a spot of dry land.

The Inca Empire, whose roots stretch all the way back to the Caral-Supe civilization and the founding of Machu Picchu a millennium after the emergence of human civilization in Sumer, have a nearly identical story which they insist came from their ancient ancestors:

During the period of time called the Pachachama, people became very evil. They got so busy coming up with and performing evil deeds they neglected the gods. Only those in the high Andes remained uncorrupted. Two brothers who lived in the highlands noticed their llamas acting strangely. They asked the llamas why and were told that the stars had told the llamas that a great flood was coming. This flood would destroy all the life on earth. The brothers took their families and flocks into a cave on the high mountains. It started to rain and continued for four months. As the water rose the mountain grew, keeping its top above the water. Eventually the rain stopped and the waters receded. The mountain returned to its original height. The shepherds repopulated the Earth. The llamas remembered the flood and that is why they prefer to live in the highland areas.⁶

The Hopi tribe of the southwestern United States tells an even more complex and interesting history of the Great Flood. Many of the Hopi oral traditions were first written down in the early 1960s by Frank Waters in his book The Book of the Hopi. In that book, the Hopi explain that this world is what they call the Fourth World of Manand will be the last one before a final cataclysm pushes the human race into a perfectly balanced Fifth World. According to the Hopi, the previous three worlds were destroyed by various global catastrophes. At a speech at the U.N. in 1992, a Hopi elder named Thomas Banyacya explained the previous three worlds and what had happened to them:

The creator (Great Spirit) made the first world in perfect balance where humans spoke one language, but humans turned away from moral and spiritual principles. They misused their spiritual powers for selfish purposes. They did not follow nature’s rules. Eventually the world was destroyed by sinking of land and separation of land by what you would call major earthquakes. Many died and only a small handful survived.

Then this handful of peaceful people came into the second world. They repeated their mistakes and the world was destroyed by a freezing which you call the great Ice Age.

The few survivors entered the third world. That world lasted a long time and as in previous worlds, the people spoke one language. The people invented many machines and conveniences of high technology, some of which have not yet been seen in this age. They even had spiritual powers that they used for good. [But] they gradually turned away from natural laws and pursued only material things and finally only gambled while they ridiculed spiritual principles. No one stopped them from this course and the world was destroyed by the great flood that many nations still recall in their ancient history or in their religions.

The Elders said again only small groups escaped and came to this fourth world where we now live.

So, in essence what these stories say is that the first civilization was destroyed in an Atlantis-like sinking of the continents, the second world was destroyed by an ice age (probably preceded by a polar axis shift) and the highly advanced third world was destroyed by—you guessed it—a Great Flood. What is not commonly discussed is that these stories are also littered with references to survivors following stars in the sky to new safe havens from which to rebuild the world, and the presence of the Ant or insect people who guided them. These stars sound for all the world like current descriptions of UFOs, and the Ant People tend to bear more than a casual resemblance to the grey aliens of modern day abduction stories.

But the similarities between these various flood myths is nothing compared to the nearly identical narratives of the Hebrew and Sumerian creation stories. The Sumerian story is told on a single tablet called the Eridu Genesis, dated to around 1600 BC and found near Nippur in what is today modern day Iraq. In this version, which is expanded in the Epic of Gilgamesh and has been alternately translated by Zechariah Sitchin in his 12th Planet books, the Sumerian gods, Anu, Enki, Enlil and Ninmah, who have created man, become aware of a coming global cataclysm that will sweep the world with a great flood. These godsare members of an extraterrestrial race called the Anunnaki who created human bodies by crossing their DNA with that of the local (probably Neanderthal) inhabitants (We shall make Man in our own image).

After these gods have a council on the issue, they agree that Man has become disrespectful if not dangerous and decide not to warn or attempt to save the humans in any way. However, one of the gods—Enki—loves mankind and decides to warn one of his favorite humans, Utnapishtim, to build a boat (ark) and populate it with animals, people and the seeds of the Earth, a fairly obvious reference to not only plant and vegetable seeds but also possibly animal DNA samples. Utnapishtim builds the ark, which is named The Preserver of Life, and loads it with people and animals, as instructed. However, the other gods become aware of Enki’s defiance of their decree, and cast him down to Earth to die with Utnapishtim and the humans. However, under Enki’s guidance the ark survives, and the stories of the birds and the final resting place on a mountaintop are repeated. The similarity between the Sumerian and Biblical versions are so close that few scholars today argue that one is not based upon the other. The following table illustrates the key matching story points:

The differences between the two tales are equally interesting, and may in fact point more or less to the Atlantean scenario. In the Biblical version, a seemingly omniscient God decides that man has become evil, and must be cleansed from the Earth for his transgressions. This infallible God then changes his mind and decides to save a handful of good humans and instructs Noah to build the ark and put all the animals two by two into it in order to save them as well. Realistically, this version of events seems unlikely. If a single God was all-seeing and his judgment infallible, why would he decide he had made a mistake in his initial judgment of Man and choose to save a handful of these wicked creatures after all? The passages in Genesis 6 make God’s initial intent clear:

5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

7 The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.

In the next verse, God then changes his mind and decides that Noah, his family and the animals are worth saving after all. Which raises the question. Does an all-knowing, all-seeing God really change his mind on such issues?

Probably not.

In this context, the Sumerian version of the Deluge tale makes far more sense, with a conflict between a committee of lower (some would say extraterrestrial) gods deciding man’s fate and a single dissenter (Enki) intervening to save Mankind at the last minute. It gets even more obvious that the Biblical version is a re-dressed remake of the Sumerian yarn when you consider the actual meaning of the word Lord in the bible. As I wrote about this in my second book, The Choice:

The name of God appears in the Bible some 4,473 times in 3,893 different verses. But the vast majority of these references are to a specific entity named Yahweh, also known as Jehova, or YHWH. Anyone who has read Zechariah Sitchin’s 12th Planet series will know that Yahweh is most likely not a God of any
