The Extraterrestrial Sumerian Gods

A slide show of Sumerian gods (the Annunaki) with a heavy metal soundtrack and a couple of gratuitous inserts of Saddam Hussein and other modern Iraqi figures. Ancient Sumer in southern Iraq (formerly Mesopotamia) is the earliest known civilization, dating back to around 6000 BC, and there are a lot of "alternate history" types who believe that these weird images constitute evidence of extraterrestrial contact with humans in the ancient world. David Icke, in particular, thinks the modern world is ruled by ancient bloodlines of carnivorous, shape-shifting alien reptoids who can trace their ancestry back to the Annunaki. In other words, aliens created human civilization, set themselves up as gods and continue to rule the planet for their own sinister purposes. This is science fiction, of course, but it's entertaining science fiction and when I look at our political "elites," I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually true.
