So what purpose exactly did the aliens have for coming here?
That is wierd...Hey did they create the grand canyon buy mining?
Hehe.
Lolololol.
Because, you know, there were no metals on their own planet. They just felt so compelled to come from their super advanced culture and come to Earth to mine for our metals and hang out with us!
There are some galaxies which are metal deficient Jujitsu. Google: Gamma Ray Bursts ;)
Dude listen, for the last time...these aren't necessarily my beliefs, nor do I have all the answers to all of this. Hitler was a racist moron end of story.
I'm not a christian, buddhist, atheist, agnostic, muslim, nor do I pray to "Enki" and "Enlil". I'm just a guy looking...like most of us...
From my understanding...
The Annunaki came to Earth looking not for just any metal minerals, but for gold. Apparently the atmosphere of their planet was getting messed up and some kind of gold dust or powder was the key to fixing it.
I'd guess it'd be kind of like our situation with oil. Yes, we have oil, but we're also using it and will one day run out. If we're lucky, we'll have the technology by then to find another energy source. Only for them, they probably used up all the metal in spaceships, buildings, etc, (metal has many uses). According to the story, they came here to mine for stuff, so I think it's safe to assume that they intended to acquire more. Whether it was out of necessity or greed is not really important.
The key word is deficient.
That is a good question. I don't think we'll find the answer until we have a chance to ask them.
Until then, I'd like to think that they were just cruising around the universe in their space helicopters, kicking back a few brews, when the next thing they knew, they were on a collision course for earth and everyone was still passed out from the previous night. Except for the designated pilot of course, who was awake, but still tied up from the night's shananigans. A loud crash as they skipped over the moon woke up the rest of them, who managed to pull off a successful emergency landing on this mysterious planet (Earth). Being in a space ship, they penetrated a few hundred feet into the surface of the earth during this emergency landing, and in doing so, struck a large gold deposit buried underground. Immediately recognizing this as the element their solar system is lacking, but needs to remain stable, the captain radios back to HQ to send in some mining equipment.
The story goes that they did have small amounts of gold. Apparently, once Niribu came close to Earth and basically tore the planet Earth apart, which bore a moon for our planet...when that had happened long before the crisis with their atmosphere, apparently they detected pockets of gold in the earth along with some other stuff.
They didn't go back out to Earth because apparently they didn't think they could get around the astroid belt very easily. Their planet only comes close to the other planets in the solar system once every...I think 3000 years, and it has an elliptical orbit. Anyway someone from Niribu took the records as a clue and managed to get to Earth, and when he did, he confirmed that there was not only gold in the earth but that the planet was habitable and full of life now, so the others followed and set up camp.

I'm only doing this once...you're lucky I like you nitsuJ...to go through all that trouble of dumbing it down so that you could understand it. I'm a great friend r I not? :DQuote:
Nibru (the space people's home) passed Earth and ripped it up to shreds!!! A Biiiiiiiig piece of earth broke off and formed our night light in the sky we call "Moon". They (The Nibru'ans) didn't visit our home anymore because it was vewy vewy dangerous to get near. Their home (Nibru) only passes by our home (Earth) every 3,000 years. That's 1,000 3 times!!! Nibru'ans found out that there was shiny sparkly gold on our planet and that they could breathe on Earth! So they came here to live and be happy.
I'm sorry, but you're stupid for even assuming I can't read. I don't reread passages every time I make a post about them. Considering now that their planet passes ours every 3,000 years, we're some written records of this happening after Sumerian's little myth happened? I've never heard about it, so obviously it must not be true.
Erm...Niribu was never said to actually pass by close to Earth except once or twice, which were freak occurrences, and it wrought havoc on the whole solar system. Supposedly the orbit is way out there, and it is elliptical. Planets do still orbit the sun last I checked, and scientists are still contemplating whether or not we have planets beyond Pluto in our solar system.
As for other stories besides the Sumerian one...there's an awesome website called Sacredtexts.org. You'll find many references to the same places, people and events across different cultures and religions. (Some of it was in the first post actually...)
For example, the Rig Vedas from India, almost as old as the Sumerian texts, and one of the longest documents ever written. It's all about ancient gods--some of them wanted to use mankind as slaves, and the others thought it was wrong to do so, and they fought over it--in their glowing chariots in the sky, complete with explosions.
Seriously dude, watch the History channel more. Or like I said, go to the documents yourself and read them. It's up to you how you'd like to interpret them, but no one can deny how similar our religions are, creation stories in particular.
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
Is our alpha male ape-beating chest competition over. :(
No, we can continue, I still think the Sumerian creation myth is whack!
:D
