LAYER 10: Theories and Speculative ideas
Ancient Astronauts (Anunnaki)
Great Flood
Gilgamesh's Tomb was discovered in Iraq in 2003.
The location of the hanging gardens is actually in Ninova.
Thanks to the Nimrud Lens, the Assyrians discovered Saturn's rings.
The Anunnaki created humans as mining slaves because of their obsession with gold.
Prophet Abraham was originally from the city of Ur
The reigns of the rulers in the Sumerian king list are actually symbolic; they are the reigns of the dynasties
The Sumerians originally came from the Gulf of Basra to Mesopotamia.
The claim that a 12th planet in our solar system, yet to be discovered, is hidden in Sumerian tablets.
The reason for the sudden collapse of the Akkadian Empire was the 4.2 Kiloyear Event.
There is a massive structure beneath the old city of Eridu.
The possibility of Sumerian being a Turkic or Hungarian language due to its agglutinative structure
The possibility that the Melluha civilization, with which the Sumerians traded, was not limited to the Indus Valley, but was a vast civilization extending as far as Ethiopia.
The claim that the Dark Age period in ancient Mesopotamian history was actually the aftermath of a nuclear war
The claim that the Sumerians established a trade network extending as far as the American continent (the shores of Lake Michigan) to meet their copper needs.
The claim that sacred marriage rituals are actually an experiment to establish a genetic link between gods and humans.
The claim that the Elam civilization belongs to the same language family as the Dravidians
The claim that the Bala system was the first socialist administration or community in history
The theory that the King's list is actually a massive calendar and heralds the end of the world (Apocalypse).
The Nam-Shub Virus: The theory that the confusion of languages (the Tower of Babel incident) was actually caused by a biological virus that attacked the brain and impaired language ability. (A theory popularized by Neal Stephenson).
The End of Time (676 BCE): The most extreme speculation that, according to the Mesopotamian calendar, the world actually ended long ago and we are currently living in a simulation.
The theory that cuneiform writing is not actually a written language, but rather a "thought parasite" that takes hold of the minds of those who read and write it, and that the collapse of Mesopotamia stemmed from this mental erosion.
The claim that all political conflicts in the world are still ongoing between secret societies descended from Enki and Enlil (knowledge vs. authority).
The Necromicon of Simon is real, and it is claimed that he found the book during his exploration and translated it into English using grammar techniques.
