Guest Koren joins Patrick to discuss her fascinating story. From childhood family encounters while growing up in proximity to what is now known as Skinwalker Ranch to her own harrowing experience with her daughter on the Fourth of July. Koren recounts her great grandmother's experiences with "light bulb men" to her mother's close call abduction that led to a profound religious conversion. She also shares her amazing experience of being taken by a "little man" and a praying mantis that ultimately resulted in her losing her fear of extraterrestrials. Patrick picks up on a startling commonality between Koren's experience with the praying mantis and his own encounters with a Sumerian deity.Do not miss this episode!

The Sumerian myth of Inanna is one of the touchstones in this beautiful work, and I'm grateful to Kelli for taking the time to talk with me about the making of the album, her engagement with Inanna, and our collective transformation."What I hope that this album does is brings solace and inspiration, and holds people's hands through their ears to say it's worth the risk. It's worth the risk of dying in all of its forms.

With this episode, it goes over Kalah. It originates from the United States although it was initially pitched as being Sumerian in origin with a board design that consists of a two-by-six grid, it uses forty-eight seeds, and its objective is to claim all of the pieces that are found in front of the opposing player. So with that said, we hope you enjoy.CreditsWriter - Bradley P. ThomasProducer - Bradley P. ThomasVoice Talent – ElevenLabs: TaylorEditor - Bradley P.

Send us a textThe ancient and profound Epic of Gilgamesh holds far more than just mythological storytelling—it contains clues to humanity's possible extraterrestrial origins. As we explore this Mesopotamian masterpiece dating back to 2100 B.C., we unravel fascinating connections between Sumerian accounts and Biblical narratives that suggest common source material predating both traditions.Many mistake Gilgamesh for the Mesopotamian equivalent of Noah, but the flood survivor in this epic is actually Utnapishtim, whom Gilgamesh seeks out during his quest for immortality. The wild beast-man Enkidu, created by gods to challenge Gilgamesh, represents what might be evidence of the "gods" carrying out genetic hybridization experiments. Sumerian artwork depicts mutated creatures that appear distinctly non-human, raising questions about what these representations may truly document.The creation accounts found in Akkadian texts describe how the Anunnaki gods created humans as a workforce, with passages stating they mixed their divine DNA with existing primitive beings. This aligns remarkably with the unexplained evolutionary leap that separated Homo sapiens from other hominids. Despite sharing nearly identical DNA with chimpanzees and coexisting with Neanderthals, humans developed unprecedented cognitive abilities and self-awareness. Could this advancement have resulted from external genetic manipulation?Both Gilgamesh's epic and the Bible share striking elements—sacred cedar forests, serpents that prevent immortality, divine beings with physical needs, and giants among men. Such parallels suggest these stories preserve memories of actual events involving advanced beings who were interpreted as prehistoric peoples as gods. The quest for immortality that drives Gilgamesh mirrors humanity's eternal struggle with the meaning and purpose of life, a theme that continue to resonate across cultures to this day.Join us as we examine this remarkable archaic story through the lens of the ancient alien theory, considering the compelling possibility that our creation myths contain literal truths about extraterrestrial intervention in human evolution. If our search for meaning is actually encoded memories of our origins, what other secrets might these ancient texts reveal?"Space Journey" by Geoff HarveyCopyright © 2021 Melody Loops LPFull License Royalty-Free Music https://www.melodyloops.com Support the showVisit our website

Dominique CharpinCollège de FranceAnnée 2024-2025Civilisation mésopotamienneColloque - Jules Oppert (1825-1905) et l'assyriologie de son temps - Kevin Cathcart : The Decipherment of Akkadian and its Cuneiform Writing System: Hincks, Oppert and RawlinsonKevin CathcartRésuméIn 1846 Edward Hincks announced that he had made a beginning in the decipherment of Akkadian. Between 1846 and 1849 he established that many signs have more than one reading or represent more than one sound, several signs can be pronounced the same, and signs have "ideographic" (logographic) as well as phonetic or syllabic values. As early as 1849 Hincks was expressing the view that Akkadian was not the language of the inventors of cuneiform. H. C. Rawlinson's most enduring contribution to cuneiform studies was his copying and publication of the Old Persian text of the long trilingual inscription at Behistun. His publication of the Babylonian text was less successful and he was disappointed to find that it was not the key to decipherment that he thought it would be. It took him several years to come to terms with the logo-syllabic nature of the script and to shed his notion that the script was partly alphabetic. Jules Oppert began the study of Mesopotamian cuneiform with the advantages of an excellent academic formation. He had studied in depth Sanskrit and Old Persian when he turned to the study of Akkadian and Sumerian. His archaeological experience in the Near East became an asset in his research on the collections of cuneiform tablets. His clear understanding of the Akkadian language and its writing system is evident in his numerous and detailed publications of texts.

Matthew Brown, another UFO whistleblower repeating the same tireless mythos, posted something very cryptic online, suggesting the following: the “White House has long possessed a unique AI capable of accurately predicting a range of future events,” Sam Altman and https://x.com/shellenberger “is responsible for murdering the first sentient ‘artificial' intelligence created in the PUBLIC realm,” and “if you are serious about saving Humanity from itself (and the Others).” In a July 8, 1947, US government memorandum (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ufoaliendatabase/images/3/3f/674B2E93-2973-4A91-A5A9-01A571E6A941.jpeg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20190219000319) we read the following statements about UFOs: “part of the disks carry crews, others are under remote control,” “they do NOT come from any ‘planet' as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us,” “the region from which they come is NOT the ‘astral plane,' but corresponds to the Lokas or Talas.”  Whether this document is honest or deceptive, or both, we do know that the US federal government actively engaged in UFO disinformation and misinformation via recommendations from the https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/robertsonpanelreport.pdf in 1953. We also know that the Wall Street Journal just now in 2025 confirmed an old UFO theory, that the Pentagon utilized disinformation to fuel “https://archive.md/9cGKu” and to protect secret military technology like the F-117 stealth fighter. As for the LOKAS, this is a Hindu concept relating to a universe, plane, or other realm of existence, perhaps even a mental state. To make matters even stranger, Brown also posted what appears to be a https://x.com/SunOfAbramelin/status/1930791280260550830/photo/3, something reported at three of the most famous UFO incidents too: Roswell, Rendlesham, Kecksburg. And the recent https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/scientists-reveal-truth-behind-ufo-spotted-in-major-city-with-cryptic-message/ar-AA1FFMKJincident as well, which researchers using AI have translated as: “The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness — individual consciousness.” The symbols in the Brown post appear similar to Angelic Script, something John Dee, the mystic astrologer of Queen Elizabeth I, deciphered from communications he and alchemist-clairvoyant Edward Kelley had with supposed angels. In the 16th-century, the men https://www.rcp.ac.uk/news-and-media/news-and-opinion/the-mystical-objects-of-john-dee/, including black mirror (computer screens) and crystal scrying balls called shew-stones (palantíri) within which appeared blurry letters that today we call Enochian Script. Underneath the symbols in the post is a translation that reads LOAGAETH, a term referring to Enochian language / Celestial Alphabet. Brown also goes by a curious name on X: “Sun of Abramelin.” This name refers to a 15th-century manuscript called “https://sacred-texts.com/grim/abr/index.htm.” The text has had a huge influence on modern ceremonial magic, and has been cited as a primary influence on Aleister Crowley, someone involved with Jack Parson of the Jet Propulsions Laboratory. As https://www.wired.com/story/jpl-jack-parsons/ writes: “When Parsons worked on his rocketry experiments in the desert he would recite a pagan poem to Pan.”  The sigil itself does not seem to be much pictorial magic symbol, but instead a large circular table. In fact - and maybe it's only because of its circular nature - there is something about it that mirrors the https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Schematic-layout-of-the-Large-Hadron-Collider-LHC-83-The-four-main-experiments-are_fig7_254469235 and even the first official https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uNvpodhMFcA/R9-zqZDWauI/AAAAAAAAATc/1-rj2TNE98I/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/first-atomic-bomb-drawing.jpg. We don't reach these conclusion haphazardly either.One company called ANTHROPIC (human affairs), which researches AI safety, said they got a glimpse inside the black box of this technology back in 2024. https://www.wired.com/story/anthropic-black-box-ai-research-neurons-features/ of the neural net of its LLM, Claude, and pinpointed which combinations of its crude artificial neurons evoke specific concepts, or “features.” Notice the monikers here: tangle, evoke, lurks.

A 2009 book maintains the same from https://www.ucpress.edu/books/the-language-of-the-gods-in-the-world-of-men/paper: “The language of the Gods in the World of Men: Sanskrit, Culture, and Power in Premodern India.” In other words, Sanskrit is a true Celestial Alphabet. The Rigveda, composed in Vedic Sanskrit, contains hymns about the universe's creation and dissolution, which directly aligns with CERN's purpose.  Also on the grounds of CERN is the imfafous statue of Shiva Nataraja.This subatomic world is likewise the realm of science fiction and science reality, as the https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/scientists-are-searching-mirror-universe-it-could-be-sitting-right-ncna1023206, just as the https://www.energy.gov/articles/searching-upside-down and searchers for the real “upside down.” This Shiva statue the same one that so-called researchers performed a https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-just-performed-a-fake-human-sacrifice-at-cern-for-some-reason.Physicist Archana Sharma (arcana), the first Indian scientist to join CERN was also just recently recognized for her work, to which commented: “our commitment to the philosophy of Vasudhev Kutumbakam—[a Sanskrit phrase that means] ‘https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/indias-gem-at-cern-archana-sharma?language_content_entity=und.'”The https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uNvpodhMFcA/R9-zqZDWauI/AAAAAAAAATc/1-rj2TNE98I/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/first-atomic-bomb-drawing.jpg mirrors in a way the Brown sigil and LHC design, and it describes the implosion process into the center core of plutonium. This was the basis of the Trinity bomb that was finally officially tested in July 16, 1945. J.

Send us a textWhat if the story of Noah's flood was derived from a much older tale where the gods destroyed humanity not because of sin, but because humans were too noisy? The Atrahasis, an epic inscribed on clay tablets dating back to 1650 B.C., reveals a startlingly different motivation behind the Great Flood than what most of us learned in religious education.Discovered in the forgotten Library of Ashurbanipal among the ruins of ancient Nineveh, this Mesopotamian text describes how the gods created humans as laborers to dig irrigation channels and grow food for divine consumption. When humanity multiplied and became too loud, the irritated god Enlil attempted to exterminate them—first with disease, then with famine, and finally with a catastrophic flood. Meanwhile, the clever god Enki found loopholes to help humanity survive each crisis, eventually saving Atrahasis (the "exceedingly wise one") by speaking flood warnings to a wall while Atrahasis listened from behind a tent.The parallels between Atrahasis and the Biblical Noah are unmistakable, yet the Sumerian version provides richer context about divine politics, the creation of humans, and the cosmic drama behind the flood. Scientific evidence supports the occurrence of significant flooding in Mesopotamia around 11,000-13,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, suggesting these myths preserve cultural memories of real cataclysmic events that transformed ancient societies.Most fascinating are the details absent from the Biblical account: how the gods actually needed humans for sustenance, how they limited human lifespan to just 120 years after the flood, and the suggestion that certain individuals like Noah/Atrahasis may have had unusual physical characteristics that set them apart. These elements hint at alternative interpretations through the ancient astronaut theory, where these "gods" might represent advanced beings with ability and knowledge that appeared divine to ancient peoples.Whether viewed through a religious, historical, or alternative lens, these ancient flood myths offer profound insights into humanity's relationship with the divine and our understanding of catastrophic events that shaped civilization. Join us as we decode these remarkable stories that have endured for millennia, revealing the rich tapestry of human belief that lies beneath our most cherished religious narratives."Space Journey" by Geoff HarveyCopyright © 2021 Melody Loops LPFull License Royalty-Free Music https://www.melodyloops.com Support the showVisit our website

Return of NIBIRU Planet X!? Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast (S5/EP20)Nibiru (Planet X) is central to Sitchin's theory, which he describes as a planet with a highly elliptical orbit that brings it close to Earth's orbit every few thousand years. Sitchin proposes that Nibiru's orbit allows for periodic visits by the Anunnaki to Earth. He claims that ancient Sumerian texts contain references to Nibiru and its role in the mythology of the Anunnaki as their home planet.Critics of Sitchin's theory point out that no credible astronomical evidence supports the existence of such a planet with the orbit described by Sitchin. Mainstream astronomers and astrophysicists argue that the gravitational effects of such a large and close planet would disrupt the orbits of the known planets in our solar system, making its existence highly improbable.☞ Join Cub Kuker Supernatural™ Plus+: https://www.CubKuker.com/plus Unlock Supernatural Secrets of the Bible and Beyond with Cub Kuker Supernatural™Hi, I'm Jacob Kuker (Cub), a Christian ancient astronaut theorist and content creator.

Is the Ancient Astronaut Theory True? This Changes Everything! Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast (S5/EP19)The ancient astronaut theory, popularized by Zecharia Sitchin, posits that ancient civilizations on Earth were visited and influenced by extraterrestrial beings. Sitchin's interpretation focuses heavily on Sumerian mythology and ancient texts, particularly the Sumerian cuneiform tablets. Today, I aim to delve deeper into Sitchin's propositions. In future articles, I will explore my personal theory on this topic and offer corrections I believe are necessary, especially in light of biblical evidence. For believers in Jesus, this theory holds significant implications, potentially shedding light on concepts such as glorified bodies in the Book of Revelation, ascension into heaven, and Jesus' teachings about the nature of the Father.☞ Official Website: https://www.CubKuker.comUnlock Supernatural Secrets of the Bible and Beyond with Cub Kuker Supernatural™Hi, I'm Jacob Kuker (Cub), a Christian ancient astronaut theorist and content creator.

Send Catherine a text Message“The Church says: the body is a sin.Science says: the body is a machine.Advertising says: The body is a business.The Body says: I am a fiesta.”― Eduardo Galeano, from Walking Words In this episode I tell the second part of Inanna's story, the courtship and marriage between Inanna and her honey man, the shepherd Dumuzi. Ripe in every sense, Inanna engages in a passionate and symbolic union that celebrates physical desire, renews the life cycles of nature, and expresses the creativity  and eros of the cosmos. Her myth illuminates the sacredness of embodied experience and the transformative power of creative union, and challenges traditional dichotomies between spirit and matter.  Inanna invites us to reconsider the sacred through the lens of wholeness, integration, and reverence for life in all its forms.Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

In this episode of Gatherings, we welcome writer and mythic guide Carly Mountain, author of Descent and Rising. Together, we explore the ancient Sumerian myth of Inanna, a powerful narrative of descent, embodiment, and feminine transformation. Carly shares how the myth mirrored her own personal journey and why it continues to speak to modern women facing burnout, identity shifts, or creative rebirth. We explore the myth's cultural resurgence, its symbolic contrast to artificial intelligence, and its call to reclaim erotic intelligence, surrender, and embodied wisdom. Carly reframes surrender not as weakness but as the courage to meet what's real—and sees descent not as failure, but as the doorway to collective healing. For those navigating inner thresholds, this episode may serve as both map and medicine. For more information about Carly's book and workshops: Writer, Psychotherapist and Women's Initiatory Guide.  

A she-demon who devours children.A seductress who visits men in their sleep.The first wife of Adam, cast out of Eden for defying him.A feminist icon reclaimed by modern movements.Lilith is all of these and more—a figure woven from strands of ancient mythology, religious texts, folklore, and contemporary reimaginings. Her name echoes across millennia, from Sumerian incantations and Jewish mysticism to Renaissance art and feminist literature. But with so many identities layered over her, who—or what—was Lilith to begin with?In today's episode, I'm joined by Nikki Marmery, author of the thought-provoking novel Lilith. Together, we delve into the rich and mysterious legend of Lilith—a figure who has been reimagined across generations as a demon, a seductress, a rebel, and a symbol of female empowerment. We explore how her story has evolved through ancient texts, folklore, and literature, and how these shifting interpretations continue to resonate today.Disclaimer: This episode discusses topics that may not be suitable for all audiences.

Send Catherine a text MessageIn the first days, in the very first days, everything needed was brought into being and the goddess Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, took her place in the center of the Sumerian pantheon. This myth was recorded at the beginning of history and describes a pivotal time in human civilization. We're reckoning with the developments of this time, today. Inanna's myth can help us find a place-- as individuals, communities, and countries-- in the transformation that's currently underway.

While other ancient nonalphabetic scripts—Sumerian cuneiform, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Mayan hieroglyphs—are long extinct, Chinese characters, invented over three thousand years ago, are today used by well over a billion people to write Chinese and Japanese. In medieval East Asia, the written Classical Chinese language knit the region together in a common intellectual enterprise that encompassed religion, philosophy, historiography, political theory, art, and literature. Literacy in Classical Chinese set the stage for the adaptation of Chinese characters into ways of writing non-Chinese languages like Vietnamese and Korean, which differ dramatically from Chinese in vocabularies and grammatical structures.Because of its unique status in the modern world, myths and misunderstandings about Chinese characters abound. Where does this writing system, so different in form and function from alphabetic writing, come from? How does it really work? How did it come to be used to write non-Chinese languages? And why has it proven so resilient? By exploring the spread and adaptation of the script across two millennia and thousands of miles, Chinese Characters across Asia: How the Chinese Script Came to Write Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese (University of Washington Press, 2025) by Dr. Zev Handel addresses these questions and provides insights into human cognition and culture. Written in an approachable style and meant for readers with no prior knowledge of Chinese script or Asian languages, it presents a fascinating story that challenges assumptions about speech and writing. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Paul Wallis Reveals the Truth The Vatican Hid About Aliens – The 5th Kind & the Anunnaki Connection In this explosive episode of the TruthSeekah Podcast, we sit down with Paul Wallis from The 5th Kind to uncover the hidden truths about the Anunnaki, ancient Sumerian texts, and how the Bible may have been misinterpreted all along. Wallis boldly claims "The Vatican Lied To Us About Aliens" — and that the beings described in ancient scripture may not be spiritual entities, but extraterrestrial visitors.We explore UFO sightings, ancient astronaut theory, and why mainstream religion has avoided these conversations for centuries. From Genesis to the Book of Enoch, the clues are everywhere. Are the gods of old really aliens? Could UFOs be modern manifestations of ancient beings? And why are whistleblowers from within the church starting to speak out?Whether you're a seeker of truth, a student of ancient wisdom, or just curious about the real story behind the Bible, this is one episode you won't want to miss. Topics: The 5th Kind, Paul Wallis, Anunnaki, Bible, Sumerian, UFOs, Aliens, Ancient Astronauts, Nephilim, Vatican, Book of Enochhttps://www.Seer.Schoolhttps://www.TruthSeekah.com

In this episode, I talk with George J. Haas about his new book The Great Architects of Mars: Evidence for the Lost Civilizations on the Red Planet. George is the founder of The Cydonia Institute and a longtime researcher of Martian anomalies. His latest work explores the possibility that an ancient civilization once existed on Mars—and that it may have made contact with early life on Earth over 800,000 years ago.We explore strange and compelling structures on the Martian surface—pyramids, five-pointed stars, and massive geoglyphs shaped like animals—all showing a surprising level of precision and symbolic design. Some of these images are truly startling—so refined, so geometrically precise, and so clearly symbolic that it becomes difficult to explain them as natural formations. George shows that this level of complexity points to intelligent design, likely from an advanced civilization with the capability to shape an entire planetary landscape. These structures raise deep questions about who—or what—created them, and why.A major part of our discussion centers on the connection between these Martian structures and ancient Earth civilizations, especially in Mesoamerica. George shares a little-known Mayan creation story describing a “Star War” with beings from Mars—an event he believes ties directly to similar stories in Sumerian mythology.That leads us into the topic of the Anunnaki—those mysterious beings from Sumerian texts who are said to have descended from the sky and influenced early human civilization. George draws powerful parallels between the Anunnaki's presence on Earth and possible activity on Mars, suggesting they may have once occupied or interacted with both planets. He also highlights how the architecture and iconography of Mesoamerican cultures reflect this deeper, interplanetary history.In the second half of the episode, George walks us through several formations using detailed NASA imagery and suggests they may be the remnants of lost Martian cities.www.thecydoniainstitute.comGeorge J.

In episode 742: Dogman Of The Corn, Shane and "The Judge" from From The Shadows Podcast, share a bone-chilling account of an entity that stalked one of their daughters—night after night. It called itself "Wind." It appeared as a little boy with blonde hair and blue bibs, and it whispered through the baby monitor in a dead language no one could recognize. It wanted the child to go outside. In the snow. In the middle of the night. This wasn't just a haunted house. Wind followed them across towns. Past locked doors. Into new bedrooms. When "The Judge" finally saw it with his own eyes, his daughter began speaking in something guttural, ancient, possibly Sumerian—and then Wind was gone. But not forever. Years earlier, on a quiet country road flanked by cornfields, "The Judge" came face to face with a creature that shouldn't exist. It ran through the rows—pacing him, mirroring every move—and when it stepped out, it stood tall like a man, with the head of a wolf and the build of a linebacker. No eye shine. No sound. Just intent. He escaped by seconds, diving into a friend's pool, heart pounding and reality shattered. Decades later, he would learn the land was built on ancient burial mounds—and that others had seen it too. Two encounters. Two entities. One terrifying question:  If these things are real… what else is?

In this episode of Radio ReOrient, Salman Sayyid and Chella Ward spoke to Professor Marc Van De Mieroop about Sumerian history. They discussed the role that the so-called ‘Ancient Near East' might play in reorienting history, from redefining the history of philosophy to telling a less Eurocentric story about writing and textual evidence. Marc is Professor of the Ancient Near East from the beginning of writing to the age of Alexander of Macedon, at Columbia University. His many important books and articles were the subject of our fascinating conversation. Learn more about your ad choices.
