Annunaki Mystery: Are Homo Sapiens the Result of an Alteration of Homo Erectus DNA Mixed with Unspecified Cells of the Ancient Sumerian Gods Known as the Annunaki? The objective of this study is to examine the creation of Adam and Eve which is related in the Holy Bible account of the Garden of Eden and to examine other ancient texts which relate the creation of mankind and to determine if homo sapiens are the result of an alteration of homo erectus DNA mixed with unspecified cells of the ancient Sumerian gods known as the Annunaki.

It has been posited by some researchers that the real event that took place in the Garden of Eden was not in actuality something that was eaten by Adam and Eve but instead was a genetic altering of the DNA of humankind. This present study entails a review of an exhaustive amount of literature that examines this specific issue. Scientists have recently discovered through testing across the globe of DNA and charting the progression of DNA across the world since 180,000 years ago and have been able to determine that all humankind existing in the world today began with one specific woman who they refer to as 'Eve' and have further determined that this woman was African in origin.

The work of one researcher reviewed in this study relates that Adam and Even discovered their nakedness just as would any normal boy and girl and that this was a problem because the children were supposed to have been hybrid beings meaning they were not either male or female and that they had no drive for procreation until an intervention took place that was of a genetic nature. The depictions of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden generally accompany the appearance of a snake-like serpent that is wrapped around a pole or staff like object much like the snake and staff that represents the contemporary medical profession. It is the suggestion of the research in this present study that the staff with a serpent representation in Genesis is representative of the self-same applied representation of the snake and staff in contemporary times or in other words, the snake and staff as it is pictured representing the fall of man in the Book of Genesis is an allegorical reference to the medical profession and most specifically an allegorical reference to ancient geneticists in the Garden of Eden.

I. E DIN

The work of Alan Alford entitled "The Gods of Eden" published in New Dawn magazine states that the tale of Adam and Even in the Biblical account of the Garden of Eden is based upon events that actually occurred approximately 200,000 years ago. When ancient texts are compared and combined with the knowledge available from the breakthroughs in the field of genetic science the details are reported as "amazingly consistent" and such that enables a solution to the mystery of the origins of mankind to be disseminated. The conclusion however, writes Alford is shocking and that leads to the conclusion that "man is a genetic hybrid, created and manipulated not by God, but by flesh-and-blood, walking, talking gods." (p.1)

Alford goes on to report that the Sumerians lived "alongside these divine rulers and depicted them as human-like beings." (p.1) One of the texts reports the creation of man and the involvement of the gods in the extraction of earth minerals in what was heavy and long labor. The leader of these gods, 'Enlil' was rebelled against but upon a council of the gods being called Ea, also known as Enki proposed a solution stating that while the Birth Goddess was present that she should create a worker of a primitive nature who could carry the yoke and perform the labor for the gods. The Garden of Eden is stated by Alford to have been called thus because 'E' means 'home' and DIN is translated as 'the gods' therefore, the Garden of Eden was the home of the gods.

II. Division in E. DIN -- Western and Eastern Demographics

The Earth at that time is described in the ancient texts as being divided on a geographical basis between the two rival groups of two brothers Enlil and Enki. The Enkiites lived on the African continent and the Enlilites on the Asian continent and specifically in the area of Mesopotamia. Therefore, there was an eastern and western Eden. Adam and Eve were allowed by God to eat from the 'Tree of Life' that is, until they "became sexually aware." (Alford,, p.1)

III. Mitochondrial Eve

Mitochondrial Eve is the name given by scientists to the maternal ancestor of all humans living in the world and who is reported to have lived approximately 200,000 years ago. A Rice University study that compared 10 human genetic models side-by-side with the objective of determining...

Classical, deterministic models, including several that have previously been applied to the dating of mitochondrial Eve, do not fully account for these random processes." (Future Pundit, 2010, p.1)
According to Harpending and Rogers (2000) the proposed bottleneck in the population size among our ancestors in the 'Garden of Eden' model of the origin of modern humans is shown in research as the "Microsatellites exhibit a clear almost linear diversity gradient away from Africa, so that New World populations are approximately 15% less diverse than African populations. This pattern is not compatible with a model of a single large population expansion and colonization of most of the Earth by our ancestors but suggests, instead, gradual loss of diversity in successive colonization bottlenecks as our species grew and spread." (p.1)

IV. Four Versions of the Account of Creation

There are reported to be four interpretations of the account given in the Book of Genesis about the Garden of Eden. Included among these four are the following:

(1) Recent Ancestors

Adam and Eve on a young earth and being the first humans crated miraculously from dust and rib and not preceded by any pre-human hominoids and ancestors of all humans. Adam and Eve instantly created in a universe younger than six days old approximately 6,000 years ago. (ASA Education, 2008, paraphrased) It is stated that there are scientific problems reported with this view including the following stated problems: (A) If the universe, earth, and humans really are young, and if the first humans were recently created "from dust" with no ancestors, why would God create nature with so much evidence (in astronomy, radiometric dating, geology, fossils, and genetics) indicating that origins of the universe, earth, and humans were not recent, and that humans had primitive "hominid" ancestors who shared a common ancestry with other primates?" (ASA Education, 2008, p.1)

(2) Recent Representatives

Adam & Eve and Others: From this view, modern humans were first anatomically crated by "…natural-appearing guidance of evolution and/or miraculous-appearing genetic modification, or miraculous-appearing independent creation. Then, approximately 6000 years ago (which is relatively recent compared with the long history of modern humans) God selected two of them, Adam and Eve, to be the spiritual representatives of all anatomically modern humans, to be the first biblical humans." (ASA Education, 2008, p.1)

(3) Ancient Ancestors

Adam & Eve a Long Time Ago: In this old-earth view, God created Adam and Eve miraculously -- either by independent creation (so there was no hereditary relationship with previously existing hominids) or by miraculous-appearing genetic modification of previous hominids (so there was a genetic relationship with them through hereditary descent) -- sometime in the moderately distant past (roughly 10,000 to 150,000 years ago) and placed them in the Garden of Eden. Non-human hominids existed prior to the creation of Adam and Eve but these hominids became extinct, so all modern humans are descendants of Adam and Eve, who are thus our only ancestors." (ASA Education, 2008, p.1) It is posited that perhaps Adam and Eve lived approximately 5 million years ago in what is an "extremely ancient ancestors" variation: maybe Adam and Eve were extremely ancient ancestors, living about 5 million years ago, early in the evolutionary history leading to modern humans; they were not modern humans (Homo sapiens) but they might have been semi-modern humans (Homo erectus or Homo habilus) who lived much earlier than the fossils that have been found for these species, or perhaps they were early Australopithecus or Ardipithecus, before the first Homo species." (ASA Education, 2008, p.1)

(4) Ancient Symbols

Adam & Eve as Symbols of Humanity: From this view, Adam and Eve were not actually individuals who lived in history because Genesis 2-3 is not literal but allegorical and describes accurately the "collective development of sinful attitudes and behaviors in humans. This scenario claims support from the fact that in the Bible the Hebrew word adam is used in two ways, to mean all humans (mankind, adam) and also one human (a man, Adam." (ASA Education, 2008, p.1)
