Are gods and goddesses from the world's religions simply just E.T's who visited Earth with technologies so advanced that to primitive humanity it seemed like magic? If we look at most mythologies from around the world we see evidence of this. In Hindu mythology the gods descended to Earth in flying boats. In ancient Egyptian mythology they also descended in flying boats. In Chinese mythology their gods descended in the belly of fire breathing dragons, the dragons landed and their tongues rolled and the gods walked down the ramp to Earth. In Greek mythology and Christianity the gods descended on flying clouds.
We can see here the gods descended from the "heavens" on something or inside of something. Given the primitive technology humanity had at the time it is reasonable to assume that they misinterpreted these extra terrestrial visitors as gods.
For those who think it is impossible for aliens to visit our planet across the vastness of space I would argue that even the most accomplished physicists on Earth know that we have such a limited grasp of physics. It was Richard P. Feynman, American theoretical physicist, who said: "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics." Also Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre designed a theoretical warp drive which could be theoretically possible if our understanding of physics was better. Now, take a civilisation which is older than ours and millions of years more advanced technologically. In my opinion it is plausible they could visit our planet. Perhaps several of them visited, with different visions for the future of humanity...
What do you guys think?
This is a good question and is certainly relevant given the surge of popularity of the Ancient Astronaut Theory in alternative circles within the last decade. Many will say that it is a matter of interpretation with some asserting that supernatural entities of antiquity such as gods, angels and demons were extraterrestrials misinterpreted as the former by ancient men and others making the contrary assertion that what we today call extraterrestrials are rather a modern manifestation of those same ancient supernatural entities (particularly angels and demons given the strong monotheistic bent of most contemporary religions).
I myself have a slightly more nuanced view. I believe that the ancient gods are both extraterrestrial beings in the sense that they originate from another planet within the universe and possess a physical body and at the same time "gods", having achieved a godlike level of evolution through the ascension of the Kundalini and thereby having developed within themselves great psychic powers and full dominion over interdimensional existence.
Let's take a look at the mythological evidence with regard to the nature of those mysterious otherworldly beings.
Many ancient civilizations outright said that the gods came from the Heavens or from the stars. Some could argue that the ancient notion of "Heavens" could refer to another non-physical dimension as Christians and other religionists conceive it but some ancient sources give an exact location in the sky. The Egyptians believed that the great Ptah and other gods and goddesses who founded and once ruled over the earliest and most glorious phase of their civilization came from a part of the sky located in Sahu or the constellation of Orion. Indeed during the time of the Old Kingdom the celestial world of Duat was believed to be located there in the same Sahu. That was before it was relegated to the status of "underworld" in the corrupted belief systems of the Middle and New Kingdoms. Moreover, after the gods had departed from the Earth, in Egypt it was believed that they were now unable to reach the Earth directly due to the immense abyss which separated their world from ours and that the gods could therefore only establish contact with their human children in spirit form through points of energetic connection in the temples. For the Egyptians the gods had physical bodies and once ruled over the Earth in the flesh but could still project their consciousness into our world from time to time after their departure.
Those same gods were the Anunnaki of Sumer. Contrary to what many believe, the Sumerian texts don't specify where the Anunnaki came from. It is simply revealed that they descended from the Heavens and created humanity and taught her civilization at some point in the distant past. There is no mention of "Nibiru". What many don't realize is that Zecharia Sitchin was nothing more than a disinformer and many of his ideas such as Nibiru as a distant planet of our solar system with an elliptical orbit and as the moribund home planet of the Anunnaki are simply his own inventions which don't even appear in the Sumerian texts themselves. My own assumption is that Sitchin, who was incidentally a Jewish Freemason, was hired by the elite to create an extravagant version of the Anunnaki story in order to make it seem as ridiculous as possible and thereby discredit it. Anyway, the Sumerian texts say that the Anunnaki descended from the heavens and they are frequently portrayed as physical beings who interacted with human beings and even had sexual intercourse. It was only in the later Akkadian mythology that the Anunnaki came to be interpreted as distant ethereal beings or divinized forces of the cosmic order.
In the apocrypha of the Bible we also find the "angels" or "Watchers" depicted as physical beings who, after abandoning their place in Heaven and descending to the Earth, decide to take the daughters of Adam as wives and produce offspring with them. These offspring are the famous Nephilim. We are told that the teaching of forbidden knowledge and illicit miscegenation on the part of the Watchers caused the proliferation of evil on Earth and that this evil included cannibalism and vampirism and necessitated the "cleansing" of the whole planet by way of the Deluge. But this is simply the Jewish version of the story and Jews are not known for being particularly honest. In reality the Watchers were our original gods, Enki's faction of the Anunnaki, and they taught us occult knowledge and the "secrets of Heaven" for our own spiritual evolution. The tyrant Yahweh hated this and conspired with his allies Michael, Gabriel, Rafael and Sariel to destroy the human race with the Deluge. The story about sin, cannibalism, vampirism and whatnot was made up by Yahweh's people in order to slander the true gods. What is ironic is that Yahweh himself loves animal sacrifice and the aroma of burned flesh but Christians don't really pay attention to this.
The Sumerian texts recount that the human race was created by the Anunnaki (by Enki and Ninhursag in particular). We were actually created and engineered in some way from their essence. Interestingly our species has 23 pairs of chromosomes with a strange fusion which caused us to lose a pair and which distinguishes us from Homo Erectus and all forms of simians which all have 24 pairs. This is possibly the result of genetic engineering on the part of the Anunnaki. In my view such an intervention would suggest that those beings were also physical like ourselves.
Let us now talk about the godhood of those beings.
The gods of antiquity were not mere physical extraterrestrials with advanced technology but also actual gods who had reached godhood (the highest level of biological and spiritual evolution) having ascended their own Kundalini.
You can find evidence of this in the ancient religions. Ever seen reliefs of the Egyptian gods? If so you probably will have noticed that the gods and goddesses are often depicted with a serpent emerging from the forehead and a solar disc above the crown. These symbolize the ascended Kundalini and the full activation of the uppermost chakra which served to divinize those same extraterrestrial beings.
You see the same thing with the Hindu god Shiva who is likewise depicted with a serpent emerging from the forehead and an opened third eye.
Also in Sumerian religion Enki and certain other gods like Marduk and Ningishzidda were associated with the serpent. Enki was even called Ushumgal or "great serpent". This too was a reference to the Kundalini. Those who managed to raise it through occult practices were able to transcend their normal human existence and become gods.
Enki wished to teach this knowledge to humanity and indeed revealed its secrets to Adapa (Adam) but Yahweh (or Anu in the Sumerian version) was opposed to it and sought to suppress all true occult knowledge. In his deceptive Bible Yahweh slanders Enki as a deceiver and blames the knowledge which he revealed to Adam for all of the evil in the world. But Yahweh is the true deceiver and after he and his faction banished the original gods and took control of the Earth (see biblical and apocryphal myths about the Watchers and their banishment to the Abyss) those evildoers conspired to rewrite history and portray themselves as the good guys through their various religions and "holy books". The whole religious story about our origins and the conflict between good and evil constitutes a veritable inversion of the truth.
PD - Ever wondered why the Jews or at least an elite faction of them are involved in all kinds of conspiracies and perverse ideologies? That's because they're the people of the evil impostor god Yahweh and are therefore programmed to subvert Gentile societies and subject them to their nefarious New World Order which has Jerusalem for its capital. All of this was outlined in the "prophecy books" of the Old Testament.
