THE ANNUNAKI, ANCIENT GODS

Giant Hominoids

Who were the Annunaki?
Giant hominoids, standing on average 8 foot tall and far heavier and more muscular than humans, visiting Earth from their home planet, termed the Planet of the Crossing by the ancient Summerians.

This planet is known by many names - Niburu, Marduk, Wormwood, the Destroyer, the Red Star, and lately Planet X - but the ancient Sumerians termed it the 12th Planet, as they counted also the Sun and Earth's Moon.
In the words of the Zetas:

ZetaTalk: 12th Planet, written Jul 15, 1995

There is life on the 12th Planet, the giant comet that causes the periodic pole shifts. The primary race is a humanoid race, who would be and have been considered giants by humans on Earth. There have been many excellent books written on this subject, and all hold a grain of truth.

They have a hierarchical structure. We would venture to say no true democracies as you might term them. However, there are among them intellectuals who have great compassion for their fellow creatures and fellow citizens and have great influence in their society and are revered.

The giant hominoids on the 12th Planet to this day dress in attire reminiscent of Roman soldiers. Rome in fact modeled after them, rather than these hominoids modeling after the Romans. The males find this to be comfortable attire that has a macho image. You might look to your ancient Greek and ancient Roman societies for a glimpse of their lifestyle, because these societies carried the influence of these visitors very heavily.

The giant hominoids were not grossly muscular, as mankind's over-developed muscle men are. They were and are well proportioned, with rounded muscles but without the extreme bulging that muscle-men try to achieve. Nancy, who has met one, will tell you that they are extremely attractive, and proportional.

The giant hominoids had long faces, but the skulls that have been discovered and ascribed to aliens are not these giant hominoid's skulls. The Easter Island heads were designed to intimidate, as this appearance in the faces was and is indeed their facial structure.

They do not sleep, because they do not have a rising and setting sun. They have a dimmer day. The glow in their atmosphere comes from rifts within their ocean. They are inhabiting a brown dwarf that is in a slow smolder.

It happens also to be a water planet, so that the places where the results of the chemical reaction that produces their light come through are in the deepest rifts closest to the molten core, and scattered throughout their atmosphere. Therefore they have a continuous light, equivalent perhaps to late in your day or very early in the morning. They do have their quiet times.

Their agriculture is much less extensive than the agriculture of Earth. They tend to gather rather than grow. There are fewer of them per square mile than your rich and fertile earth sustains.

Gold mining is occurring today on a moon of Mars, which has been approached by man's probes and subsequently shot down by these hominoids who were not about to let themselves be filmed by their fomer slaves. This moon, Phobos, is rich in the minerals they seek.

12th Planet

Zacharia Sitchin, author of several books documenting what the anncient Summerians had to say about these giant hominoids, puts his finger on a key confirmation that they were indeed visitors from a planet ENTERING our solar system.
The evidence? They counted the planets from the outer edges of the solar system inward.

From Sitchin's book,

The 12th Planet: Landing on Planet Earth

In February, 1971, the United States launched Pioneer 10. Pioneer 10 scientists attached to it an engraved aluminum plaque. It attempts to tell whoever might find the plaque that Mankind is male and female, etc., and that (Pioneer 10) is from the 3rd planet of this Sun.

Our astronomy is geared to the notion that Earth is the 3rd planet, which indeed it is if one begins the count from the center of our system, the Sun. But to someone nearing our solar system from the outside, the 1st planet to be encountered would be Pluto, the 2nd Neptune, the 3rd Uranus, the 4th Saturn, the 5th Jupiter, the 6th Mars .. and the Earth would be 7th.

We know today that beyond the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn lie more major planets, Uranus and Neptune, and a small planet, Pluto. But such knowledge is quite recent. Uranus was discovered, through the use of improved telescopes, in 1781. Neptune was pinpointed by astronomers (guided by mathmatical calculations) in 1846. It became evident that Neptune was being subjected to unknown gravitational pull, and in 1930 Pluto (was located).

Sitchin reports that their planet, today known as Planet X, only crossed our solar system every 3,600 years, the ancient Summerian SHAR.
Again quoting from his book,

The 12th Planet: Kingship of Heaven

The (12th) Planet's periodic appearance and disappearance from Earth's view confirms the assumption of its permanence in solar orbit. In this it acts like many comets. If so, why are our astronomers not aware of the existence of this planet? The fact is that even an orbit half as long as the lower figure for (the comet) Kohoutek, (every 7,500 years), would take the 12th Planet about 6 times farther away from us than Pluto - a distance at which such a planet would not be visible from Earth. In fact, the known planets beyond Saturn were first discovered not visually but mathematically.

The Mesopotamian and biblical sources present strong evidence that the orbital period of the 12th Planet is 3,600 years. The number 3,600 was written in Sumerian as a large circle. The epithet for the planet, shar, also meant "a perfect circle" or "a completed cycle". It also meant the number 3,600. The identity of the three terms - planet/orbit/3,600 - could not be a mere coincidence. The reign periods (a Sumarian text) gives are also perfect multiples of the 3,600 year shar. The conclusion that suggests itself is that these shar's of rulership were related to the orbital period shar, 3,600 years.

In fact, the Zetas report that Planet X, aka the 12th Planet, spends most of its time located more than 9 Sun-Pluto distances from us, halfway between our Sun and a dark twin, a binary sun, never seen because this binary has never lit.

ZetaTalk: Distance from Earth, written Nov 15, 1999

The 12th Planet is circling on a long [sling] orbit around the sun and its dead companion which lies at a distance some 18.724 times the length from the sun to Pluto. At the turn of the millennium the 12th Planet [was] still close to the mid-point between the two foci, as astonishing as this may seem.

It spends the vast majority of its time in an essential dither these two massive suns, picking up speed as it approaches, inbound, then zooming through, turning around after coming to a standstill after having overshot the solar system, then shooting through again and returning to the essential dither point between the its two foci.

What makes it move and progress from one sun to the next? The fact that there is a slight momentum.

Confirming what Sitchin states about a planet more than 6 Sun-Pluto distances away not being visible to man on Earth, NASA and JPL had to use an infra-red cloud above the atmosphere to locate it in 1983.

QUOTE from:

Dec 31, 1983 Washington Post :

A heavenly body possibly ... so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope aboard the U.S. infrared astronomical satellite. So mysterious is the object that astronomers do not know if it is a planet ... so close in fact that it would be the nearest heavenly body to Earth beyond the outermost planet Pluto.

Pyramids

The Annunaki giants left behind to mine for Gold built astronomical devices to help their progeny know when the home planet would be coming back to collect the Gold.
Thus, the Giant Pyramids.

ZetaTalk: Great Pyramids, written Jul 15, 1995

Humans ponder the pyramids of Egypt and some similar structures in South and Central America, and wonder how early man could rise or move such large stones? Of course, they could not. Even today the mechanics would be imposing to the point of being impossible. The answer is, of course, that early man did not build these structures.

The Great Pyramids were built essentially as Navigational Devices. Why was it necessary to build such large structures as interstellar navigational guides? Because, in the locale, any astronomical device would be subject to shifting sands. The Great Pyramids, by their great size and weight, ensure stability.

All this just to sight an incoming comet, which makes its appearance on a regular basis and can be seen weeks if not months beforehand? The Great Pyramids were not used solely for sighting an incoming object, as their primary purpose was to act as a guidance system for the launches the exiled 12th Planet residents would make to meet their home planet.

This required precision, as their rockets were no more sophisticated than those used to boost man into space today, and once in space they simply coasted until drawn into the gravitational orbit of the water planet they owed their allegiance to.

They did not last on Earth from one appearance of the 12th Planet to another. Several generations would pass, the knowledge of how to read the stars and what the 12th Planet kingship expected of them passed from parent to child. Conscientious parents, aging and sure to die before their progeny could return to the home planet where they had royalty status, built a navigational system that was rock solid and sure - the Giant Pyramids.

Could the pyramids act as guides for the forthcoming reappearance of the giant comet, the 12th Planet? Many pole shifts have occurred since they were built, each time the crust of the Earth sliding into new positions. Legend has it that the Giant Pyramids originally pointed near the Orion Star System, and those legends have carried true to their origin. Where this is the original point convergence, the spot where the giant comet first looms into view, the Giant Pyramids no longer act as a guide in this matter.

There is a rumor that the Giant Pyramids point directly N/S, I did a web search for facts to substantiate this rumor and could find none.
What I did find was documentation that stated the pyramids were more or less N/S aligned, which is far from the being precisely aligned N/S.
Giant Pyramids hold clues that they were astronomical devices.

ZetaTalk: Secret Chamber, written Nov 15, 1995

All types of rumors abound about the Great Pyramids, some true, some false. It is known that a hidden chamber exists, accessible only via a tunnel so narrow that it might be traveled by a rat, yet so straight and long that it could only have been used for sighting.

The room has no other entry and was never intended to hold a solid object. A liquid, pooled in the shallow basin and reflecting light outward only when light shown down the long tunnel at that particular angle - the light from the approaching 12th Planet.

Various other sighting tunnels, as yet undiscovered, caught the reflected light. The liquid, of course, evaporated over time, leaving only the puzzle behind.

Monuments

The Spinix, was also by the hands of the Annunaki.

ZetaTalk: Sphinx, written Jul 15, 1995

The Sphinx is an example of a fancy burial chamber, a mausoleum of sorts, built by visitors from the 12th Planet who were into the sport of lion hunting. The grave was intended for a large and powerful male who stood tall in the circle of hunters, and all felt having his grave guarded by one of his conquests a suitable statement on his abilities and might.

As is often the case in the affairs of man, these plans went awry, as he was slaughtered by a rival and went unburied altogether, his body rotting under the sun, eaten by lions, no doubt.

Giants, as Ancient Gods

Being giants, compared to man, and techologically as advanced as mankind is today, primitive man considered the Annunaki to be gods.
As the iron suits worn by knights during the Middle Ages show, man did not have the stature in the old days that he does today.
This may be due to nutrition, as it seemed to change only recently.
There is a log cabin near where I live that has a doorway only about 5 foot tall.
Thus, for primitive man, an 8 foot tall Annunaki would indeed be a giant.

ZetaTalk: Ancient Gods, written Jul 15, 1997

It is not by accident that the hominoid inhabitants of the 12th Planet look and dress like Greek Gods, the Gods of Mount Olympus, as they are one and the same. Mythological stories about thunderbolts being thrown and travel through the clouds were based on the technological feats of these visitors from the 12th Planet, who had mastered the modern day equivalent of lasers and transporting an individual via a rocket booster strapped on the back.

To the primitive humans, who came barely to the waists of the strapping, handsome giants, they were gods. The Greek Gods are reported to be jealous and wrathful on the one hand, and kindly and mentoring on the other - a bit like people. Of course, they were no gods, any more than the humans of today, but their very human exploits are still reported with awe.

The legends among many human cultures regarding the exploits of the giant hominoids from the 12th Planet are in no small part due to the rigid rules these visitors had regarding interbreeding with the humans they used as virtual slaves. Kept apart from humans in this manner, they retained their edge, as they were by far the largest, the most technologically advanced, and the smartest hominoid race around.

Humans were, at the time, evolving from the cave man stage, with only an occasional genius born in the purely human strains. During the evolution of any species, intelligence is gradually increased due to genetic selection, the smarter individuals passing on their genetics due to their ability to evade danger and manipulate circumstances around them.

Thus, the discrepancies between humans and the visitors from the 12th Planet were many and significant. The stories generated by these tall, stately giants are almost endless in human mythology, but can be recognized, and differentiated from stories based on mere humans, by several distinctive traits:

* The gods were hominoid in appearance. Mere humans are not raised to the stature of gods by other humans, in spite of cultures which temporarily, and in a patronizing manner, call a reigning human king or chief a god.
* The hominoids were savage and exacting in their treatment of their human slaves, executing them for trivial infractions as examples and unforgiving no matter how trivial the affront or fervent the apologies.
* They had technology that seemed miraculous for the age, such as the ability to throw what appeared to be lightning bolts, or float along above the ground, or take off in rocket ships, or perform surgery and have the patient live.
* They lived apart from humans, in separate quarters or villages, yet visited their human slaves frequently enough that the slaves considered themselves unable to escape, in bondage without physical bonds.

Ancient Egyptian gods, ancient Babylonian gods, the Vizigoths of Germany, ancient Mayan and Incan gods, are almost to a one particular individuals from the 12th Planet royalty, stationed on Earth to supervise mining operations.

Stories about ancient rebels, notable for their stature and courage in battle, are also frequently based in part on the heritage from these visitors, as the rebel most often carried some genetics from the rape of a female slave who managed somehow to escape and bear her oversized infant alive.

The legacy today is genetically disbursed throughout the mid-eastern countries, Germanic countries, and the south seas, and is identifiable in those humans who simultaneously possess a large stature, a fierce temper, and strong musculature. Rather than being considered gods, they are often considered criminals.

David, of the David and Goliath tale, was such a half-breed, and thus was not a mere man challenging one of these giants.

ZetaTalk: King David, written on Jul 15, 1997

Like many humans who bore genes originating from the giant hominoids from the 12th Planet, King David was greatly admired for his strength and courage. That he took on one of these giants in the historic David and Goliath battle is not surprising, as he had a personal hatred of their domination, learned at his mother's knee.

Female slaves, who were held in bondage to act as more than cooks and maids, became pregnant on occasion by the brutish and fiercely strong soldiers working in service to the mining outposts the 12th Planet rulers routinely put into place during every periodic passage of the 12th Planet through the Solar System.

Chosen for their unhesitating brutality in the line of duty, these soldiers were used to keep the human slaves that worked the mines in line, and seldom displayed any tenderness, not even to their lovers. Most often, a female slave that had been impregnated would die in childbirth, unable to deliver an oversized infant, taking her infant with her.

On rare occasions half-breeds survived, often without their mothers who bled to death or were torn beyond repair. David's mother, like he, bore genes from a half-breed, and thus had the hips to bear the product of rape and live.

Beyond the great strength and unflinching courage which are traits of the giant hominoids from the 12th Planet, they have a singleness of purpose when aroused into anger. Thus he became a leader of the downtrodden, and was held in great esteem, this reverence expressed in devotion to his symbol, the Star of David. His lineage, the House of David, was noted primarily for its courageous leadership.

The fiece visigoths of Germany were another example of the stamp these giants had on the cultures they visited.

ZetaTalk: Visigoths, written on Apr 15, 1996

[Were] the giant hominoids from the 12th Planet the inspiration for the Viking Gods or tales of the Germanic Visigoths? The Viking Gods and Visigoths were fierce and did not back away once a conflict had begun. What were these giant hominoids doing in northern Europe? Exploring, in the same manner that took them to South American and thence across the Pacific. They were looking for gold, and went prospecting everywhere.

Giants

Could these be the Nefilm of the Bible, who fell to Earth from Heaven?
Per Zecharia Sitchin, one and the same.

Interview with Zecharia Sitchen: An Introduction
Electronic Magazine, Issue 17

ZS: Who were the Nefilim, that are mentioned in Genesis, Chapter six, as the sons of the gods who married the daughters of Man in the days before the great flood, the Deluge. The word Nefilim is commonly, or used to be, translated "giants." And I am sure that you and your readers are familiar with quotes and Sunday preachings, etc., that those were the days when there were giants upon the earth. I questioned this interpretation as a child at school, and I was reprimanded for it because the teacher said "you don't question the Bible." But I did not question the Bible, I questioned an interpretation that seemed inaccurate, because the word, Nefilim, the name by which those extraordinary beings, "the sons of the gods" were known, means literally, "Those who have come down to earth from the heavens."

CL: From the Hebrew word Nafal, which means "fall"?

ZS: Right. Fall, come down, descend. So, what did it mean? This led me to biblical studies and then to mythology and archeology and all the other subjects, including the study of ancient languages, which became my education and avocation. So, my research and my decision to write about it started with a question, Who were the Nefilim? All the ancient scriptures, the Bible, the Greek myths, the Egyptian myth and texts, the pyramid texts, everything, led to the Sumerians, whose civilization was the first known one six thousand years ago. I focused on Sumer, the source of these legends and myths and texts and information. I learned to read the cuneiform Sumerian texts and came upon their persistent and repeated statements that those beings, whom the Sumerians called Anunnaki, came to earth from a planet called Nibiru. The planet was designated by the sign of the cross and Nibiru meant, "planet of crossing."

Myths

Where many myths about the Annunaki have a basis in fact, many others do NOT.
Many were based on swagger and bragging or simply a misunderstanding of their written or spoken word. Not much different from our own human cultures, it seems.

For instance, they had a normal lifespan, and did NOT have a Fountain of Youth.

ZetaTalk: Long Life, written Feb 15, 2002

The issue of the Annunaki living for thousands of years is a misunderstanding. When placed on Earth for a mining operation, they expected, as a culture and as a royal family line, to live that long, until the next passage. Poetry, misunderstood.

The visitors from the 12th Planet carried with them on their long sojourns to Earth a plant with medicinal qualities, native to the 12th Planet. They grew this in special gardens, shielded from the intensity of the Sun. This plant could renew their cellular structure, a type of growth hormone stimulant. They took this stimulant in the form of a bath, soaked in the plant.

Reputed to rejuvenate, it gave rise to the legend of the Fountain of Youth, but this is much exaggerated. In fact, it merely slowed a degenerative disease the transplanted hominoid suffered from while on Earth.

For instance, they did NOT genetically engineer man, though did tinker with genetic engineering as mankind is doing today.

ZetaTalk: Birth of Man, written Feb 15, 2002

As the largest and strongest hominoid race on Earth at the time, the giant hominoids from the 12th Planet were understandably arrogant about the effects their genetics had on the humans they bred with. There were two lines of hominoids left to run the mining operations between passages of the 12th Planet - royalty and soldiers.

The royalty interbred with each other, retaining the purity of their genetics, as without this purity their line would be forced to die out upon return to their home planet. The soldiers had lower class women from the 12th Planet available to them as sexual consorts, but often chose to create and maintain harems of human sex slaves of all ages and from both sexes.

Most often the offspring died during childbirth, due to the large size of the infants, but those who lived carried genetics from the father, which gave rise to the legend that these hominoids created the human race, which is simply not true.

The giant hominoids from the 12th Planet did not genetically engineer humans. They toyed with genetics, and thus the rumor has started. These giant hominoids were experimenting with genetics just as humans are now eagerly embracing such activity, as they were slightly ahead of humans on the evolutionary scale.

Thus when they toyed with the idea of what genetics could bring, doodling with the possible merging of animal and human species, this was taken literally by the people who are discovering these doodles now. Humans doodle, making pictures of eagles with lightning bolts in their talons. Does this mean that future generations should find these drawings and take them literally?

These were representations of a fascination with the possibility of what genetic manipulation could create. Mankind was created not by these hominoids, but by others who did the genetic engineering, and this erroneous myth should be put to rest.

Cruel Reign

As slave masters, the Annunaki used cruelty to control their slaves.
This is also of legend.
Beating hearts torn out of chests and displayed in the face of the still living victim.

ZetaTalk: Mayan and Incan, written Aug 15, 1995

High in the mountains of South America stand traces of ancient civilizations with similarities to the ancient Egyptian civilization. Structures built with large blocks of stone closely trimmed and fitted in much the same manner as the Great Pyramids. Space ports on high mountain plateaus, which can be seen clearly from space but scarcely discerned while on the ground.

In the steamy jungles further north lie the outlines of cities, abandoned for no known reason. The land is fertile, the water supply ample, yet they lie unattended and uninhabited. Legend has it that human sacrifices were performed atop pyramid like platforms, hearts ripped from the chests of the living, yet no trace of these practices exist among the local peoples.

Human sacrifices [were] never an indigenous practice, as this grim method of punishment was only used by the dominant visitors to keep their restive human slaves in line.

Destroying a city as revenge for a single gang rape.

ZetaTalk: Sodom and Gomorra, written Oct 15, 1995

Prior to recorded history there were many dramas that earned their place in history by their impact. They so impressed those who lived through them that the story was repeated, endlessly, until the era of recorded history arrived. As these dramas occurred before clocks and calendars were in use, no one is sure of the date, but the circumstances, often told in allegory fashion, generally arrived intact. Such is the case with the tale of Sodom and Gomorra, the city of sin destroyed, so the story goes, by the hand of God. This story has a basis in fact.

Sodom and Gomorra were two rather smallish cities in the arid lands of the middle east. In those days sodomy was a common practice among males without a mate. Young boys were sent out to mind the herds, and learned from the older boys how to use the sheep and goats they tended to relieve sexual tension. From there it was a short step to use each other when in the cities, and no one thought much of it. A favor among friends.

Such was the situation in Sodom and Gomorra, during the era when visitors from the 12th Planet walked the Earth. These visitors are strapping handsome hominoids, who themselves choose their sexual partners as they saw fit, and were in no way subservient to the puny humans they generally considered their servants and slaves.

In Sodom and Gomorra, the practice of sodomy [was] accompanied by domination games, [and] had gotten rowdy, with several toughs thinking they had no match. A single 12th Planet hominoid, traveling with his entourage, was raped near these cities by a gang that wouldn't take no for an answer, and the repercussions were brutal. The visitors from the 12th Planet had the bomb and used it.

Business partners were warned ahead of time but were given scarcely enough time to leave. No time for good-byes or even a lingering last look, yet the wife of one business associate did just that. She lingered, not wanting to leave the home she loved and not truly understanding the circumstances.

When the bomb exploded she was gazing down on the city and was in line of the blast rather than over the hill, and was essentially vaporized where she stood. Legend explained her burned and hardened remains, gray with the fine dust of the fallout, as a pillar of salt.

Intimidating head gear, recently featured in the movie Stargate.

ZetaTalk: Dogon Tribe, written Aug 15, 1995

Much has been written about the Dogon tribe and their knowledge of the stars. Such a simple people, kept out of the industrial age even today. How did they come by this information?

Their visitors hailed from the 12th Planet, who even then had advanced knowledge of the stars as they plotted their travels by them so as to know their place out in space just as ancient mariners held to the stars to know what place they occupied on the vast oceans.

The dog heads worn as masks by these visitors were a common ploy, occasionally switched for the heads of birds or snakes. While under the influence of those in the Service-to-Self orientation, they found these masks aided them in terrifying the diminutive humans they encountered, as their expressions could not be read.

Gold

The Annunaki needed Gold for their home planet to retain the heat and light that bounced up into the atmosphere.
Their home planet, Planet X, aka the 12th Planet, is a smoldering brown dwarf, neither a planet nor a Sun, with a slow enough smolder that heat and light are generated but not to the extent that life is not possible.

ZetaTalk: 12th Planet Glow, written Jul 15, 1995

The 12th Planet has both heat and light, generated from within its core. Life on the 12th Planet, which is inhabited by a large hominoid indistinguishable from humans other than by its size, experiences continuous day. Life that has evolved there does not sleep, but rests.

The light is diffused in the atmosphere, and returns to the land surface, but emerges from the core to interact with the atmosphere only via the surface of the deep oceans, which cover the majority of the planet's surface. You may equate this to volcanic activity, where the Earth has numerous places both above ground and under the oceans that ooze molten lava. Just so the 12th Planet has places where the molten and churning substance in its core escapes to the surface.

On the 12th Planet, the heat released diffuses in all directions, so the surface of the planet is warm but not hot. Your feet would not blister, but they may feel cool in places where the rock strata do not provide a good passage for heat, should you visit that planet. Light only escapes the core where what is essentially volcanic activity under the water occurs.

Their search for Gold, and the value they placed on it, is the reason humans today place such a high value upon it, and gave rise to many legends.

ZetaTalk: El Dorado, written Oct 15, 1995

The obsession with Gold is not natural to man, it is a habit mankind picked up from the visitors from the 12th Planet. What about Gold makes it so cherished? Platinum is as tarnish free, silver and copper as malleable, and yet Gold is accepted as a metal more precious than others, more desirable, a metal to die for.

This attitude toward Gold, passed as a heritage from generation to generation, was impressed on mankind from those who had to have Gold, and did not hesitate to kill for it. Where mankind uses Gold for adornment or as a medium of exchange, the visitors from the 12th Planet were collecting Gold for survival.

Their home planet, on its long orbit out in space, is subjected to atmospheric abrasion the Earth and the other planets on more sedate orbits around the Sun do not suffer. The 12th Planet losses atmosphere here and there, on a regular basis, and where this can be rebuild from its copious oceans, being basically a water planet, certain elements become depleted.

Molecules in the atmosphere, containing Gold, are necessary to retain the heat and light the planet generates, to keep the heat and light, essentially, bouncing back to the surface, as without these Gold based molecules the planet dims and cools.

Thus, the visitors from the 12th Planet came to Earth on a search, a mining mission, and were intent on raping the Earth of its relatively abundant Gold and using its primitive hominoids, humans, as slaves to do so.

It was impressed upon mankind early that Gold was the ruler's due, and death fell to he who hoarded or withheld it. El Dorado, the lost City of Gold, was a staging point where the space ships used as shuttles were loaded and sent aloft at the appropriate time. Since this time only arrived once every 3,657 years, on average, a lot of Gold stacked up.

Long after the visitors from the 12th Planet left the Earth the humans who had heard the stories from those who made deliveries to El Dorado searched for this City of Gold. They search still. However, the ruins, when discovered as they have been repeatedly, are not recognized as there is no gold. Why would these visitors, so desperate for what was essentially a life giving metal, leave any behind?
