The Long-Headed Giants: Extraterrestrial Origins and Sumerian Epics

from Matter of Fact: A play on "matter" (physics) and "facts" (news). · host Larry White

The discovery of lifelike artifacts and the unusual physical appearance of Pharaoh Akhenaten lead to theories that ancient Egyptian royalty may have been alien descendants who possessed advanced technology, such as high-energy lasers. Physical evidence of elongated skulls with non-human DNA found across different continents suggests that a race of highly intelligent giants influenced various ancient civilizations, including those at Easter Island and the Nazca Lines. The Epic of Gilgamesh is interpreted as a record of these ancient secrets, detailing the relationship between the part-divine king Gilgamesh and the wild-man Enkidu as they encounter monsters and "fallen angels" before a great flood.
