Cylinder seal VA/243 from a museum in Germany, about 2,500 BCE. The upper left corner has a picture of a solar system. What it is in the center? Were you told in school that the ancients knew the sun was in the center?

Count the orbiting planets around the sun. Include our moon and one extra planet and you will notice the number is correct for our solar system. There are 9 known planets all represented in this seal.

When were Pluto and Neptune discovered? When you count the sun, moon and Nibiru as part of our solar system the number of objects is 12.

The number 12 is connected to the number of gods in the Sumerian pantheon.

What else is 12? The 12 Olympian gods, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 disciples of Jesus, 12 months of the year, the original time of 24 hours was really 12 double hours. See the 12 pointed star, this picture represents Anu, the King of Nibiru.

And notice the horns on his hat as well, as a symbol of his godly rank. Notice how small the people are that are serving him.

The Confusing Hebrew Bible

I will give you an example of the problems the translators have had trying to convert the Hebrew into English. First please understand that the tradition of the scribes that originally came from Sumer was to change nothing of a religious scroll and simply hand copy it as is.

Second there are many names in Hebrew for god used in the old testament and the Cabbalists (mystics) declare there are actually 72 names for god (the number 72 corresponds to the number of years it takes Earth to move one precessional degree, meaning 72 X 360 [degrees of a circle] will give you the number of years in one precessional cycle that total 25,920 years).

This is the main problem of miscommunication and translating, because in English we have only a few words to use like God & Lord. So in every single English translation on Earth the word God or Lord is used for all the different names that exist in Hebrew. The word can be plural or singular, can be a title or an actual name, it may not even mean god but it is still translated that way.

The example I will use comes from the story of Abram,

• Gen 15:7, God says to Abram, "I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur-Kasdim..."

• Gen 17:1, "God appears to Abram," in Hebrew, "Yahweh appears to Abram," and says "I am El Shaddai" meaning I am god almighty, or I am god of the mountain.

• Then verse 3, it says "God spoke with him saying" in Hebrew "Elohim spoke with him saying."

Here in just a few verses in one small area are three different names in Hebrew but one god in English. Also this is two different quotes of God saying I am, with two different names, one Yahweh and one El Shaddai. Verse 9 it says "God says to Abraham," In Hebrew "Elohim says to Abraham." Elohim is used a couple more times, then it switches in Chapter 19:1, "Yahweh appears to him...".

Then it uses Yahweh a few more times. In chapter 18:31 it says "behold I desired to speak to my Lord," In Hebrew lord is the word Adonai, which can also mean master, or a polite title to say to the king your master. It might not mean Lord at all, but it is used in English to mean Lord. There are examples of it being used less formally and not directed to god in the Bible.


Types of Data

• Type 1 data is verifiable, testable and repeatable evidence that everyone can examine for themselves. Science is based on this principle, what happens in an experiment in some laboratory will be able to be repeated in another laboratory. Mr. Sitchin's evidence is type 1; all of you can read the tablets for yourselves and examine them for yourselves. You may not agree with the translations or the conclusions from the translations, but you can see the tablets, carvings and museum pieces for yourself. Mr. Heiser's data is also Type 1, because all of us can read it for ourselves, although we may not agree with the conclusions.
   

• Type 2 data is multiple witness testimony, but with no evidence left to study. For example many people see a shooting star (meteorite) in the sky. They all agree what they saw but there is nothing left to view and no pieces to confirm it. If there was something left to examine it would become type 1 data.
   

• Type 3 data is a single witness testimony of some event and with no data left to study. Can you guess what area this covers? People who hear things in their heads and UFO abductees with no evidence left behind. If there is nothing left to study and there are no confirming witnesses then the event and the truth is only for you. This is the area of opinion only, this is not evidence.

There are more types of data but this is enough for the purpose of our discussion today.


How Many Intelligent Civilizations Exist in the Universe?

Can you guess the answer to this one? I have found only one correct answer that makes sense to me. If you consider the length of time the Universe has been around (approx. 12 - 15 billion years), and the amount of galaxies (hundreds of billions) out there in the great vastness. If you consider how many stars are in each galaxy (billions to hundreds of billions) and how many planets that represents. If you consider that on Earth which is one speck of dust, we know of 200 -300 million species of animals, plants and insects, etc. If you consider that on Earth in every climate and every extreme area, life is found to thrive.

Even at the bottom of the oceans where there is no light, the pressure crushes the weak, and vents spew out poisons to the rest of us. If you consider all these variables the answer to my question is...

INFINITE...

...there are an infinite amount of civilizations out there in the vast Universe. If we spent a lifetime cataloging them and could fly to them immediately to see them, we still would never be able to count all of them. The Earth is just one drop in a universe filled with water. We are not alone and have never been alone.
