In 1976, a new
champion of intervention appeared. Zecharia Sitchin published The Twelfth
Planet, which supplied a different array of evidence to support Von
Daniken’s assertion that Earth bristled with the remains of non-human activity
in a not-too-distant past. Sitchin based his conclusions on the voluminous
written records of Sumer, the “sudden civilization” that sprang up virtually
overnight in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley of modern Iraq. Historians can’t begin
to plausibly explain how Sumerians were transformed from Stone Age farmers to
very sophisticated city dwellers in a matter of only a few hundred years
around 5,000 years ago, but the Sumerians can and do explain it in clearly
written terms. Rather than
fragile paper or parchment, Sumerians wrote in soft clay,
then fired it into stone in the world's first kilns. At
least 100,000 of those stone
tablets have survived to present times, and they describe how superior beings from beyond
Earth
that they called "gods" lived
among them as their lords and masters. Also, they say that in much earlier times
these gods actually
created humans “in their own image, after their own likeness” (words copied 2,000 years later
into Genesis) in a “house of
fashioning” (a genetic laboratory?) where they also created all of the known
domesticated plants and animals “to give the gods their ease.”
The Sumerians
always referred to their gods in a multiple sense and never with upper
case emphasis. They wrote about those gods in matter-of-fact
terms, describing them as flesh-and-blood beings with whom
they could have sex and produce hybrid offspring. Modern
humans have 46 chromosomes, whereas our supposed closest
relatives, chimps and the other higher primates, have 48. Intervention theorists suggest that this
difference is a direct result of these Sumerian "gods"
(aliens) tinkering with our DNA and breeding with us, adding
many elements of their own DNA to ours.
Intervention Theory has
been refined by many new discoveries since Von Daniken and
Sitchin first introduced it to the public, not least of
which are these discoveries in the DNA of everything from
humans to Hawaiian cotton.

Everything You Know Is Wrong
Lloyd Pye's
seminal text on Intervention Theory discusses all of these
concepts in much greater detail, and piles on an
overwhelming body of evidence for alien intervention into
Earth, the origins of life, the origins of humans,
megaliths, and the domestication of plants and animals...
