Could the oldest Mesopotamian traditions preserve memories of a forgotten chapter in human history? In this episode, we enter the controversial world of Zecharia Sitchin, the Anunnaki and the proposed planet Nibiru, following claims that ancient texts describe beings who came to Earth, mined for gold and intervened in the development of humanity.

The discussion ranges across Sumerian and Babylonian records, the Nephilim, Planet X, ancient astronomy, human genetics, unexplained artifacts, the Great Flood and the possibility that stories later treated as mythology were originally understood very differently. It also considers the argument that humanity may have been created through genetic manipulation, and that memories of these beings eventually became incorporated into later religious ideas about gods, kings and divine authority.

Moving between ancient texts, alternative archaeology, astronomy, genetics and speculation about extraterrestrial intelligence, this is an examination of one of the most disputed interpretations of human origins: the possibility that the gods of the ancient world were not gods at all.
