Following in the footsteps of Zecharia Sitchin, Wednesday night's guest, researcher Jason Martell, pointed out how the Sumerian civilization of some 6,000 years ago had sophisticated astronomical, medical and mathematical knowledge, as demonstrated through their artifacts. Yet, he suggested the advanced Sumerians may have done themselves in, in a nuclear exchange known as the "evil wind," and the Sinai Peninsula may still show signs of radioactive fallout from this.
Martell said many Sumerian artifacts and other archeological relics have remained hidden, and he hopes in the coming months to gain access to some of them, to yield further clues and translations. Because the Sumerians knew of such planets as Pluto, he thinks this lends credence to the existence of Nibiru or Planet X, which was depicted in some of their tablets and cylinder seals. Further, Martell said the beings from Nibiru, known as the Annunaki, were also portrayed in some of their artifacts, and were likely the source for both the Sumerians' advancement and downfall.
