In his 1976 book The Twelfth Planet, Russian-American author Zecharia Sitchin claimed that the Anunnaki were actually a race of extraterrestrial beings from the undiscovered planet Nibiru, who came to Earth around 500,000 years ago in order to mine gold.

According to Sitchin, the Anunnaki genetically engineered homo erectus to create modern humans to work as their slaves. Sitchin claimed that the Anunnaki were forced to leave Earth when Antarctic glaciers melted, causing the Flood of Noah, which also destroyed the Anunnaki’s bases on Earth. These had to be rebuilt and the Nephilim, needing more humans to help in this massive effort, taught them agriculture.

Ronald H. Fritze writes that, according to Sitchin, “the Annunaki built the pyramids and all the other monumental structures from around the world that ancient astronaut theorists consider so impossible to build without highly advanced technologies.“Sitchin also claimed that the Anunnaki had left behind human-alien hybrids, some of whom may still be alive today, unaware of their alien ancestry. Sitchin expanded on this mythology in later works, including The Stairway to Heaven (1980) and The Wars of Gods and Men (1985). In The End of Days: Armageddon and the Prophecy of the Return (2007), Sitchin predicted that the Anunnaki would return to earth, possibly as soon as 2012, corresponding to the end of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar.

With TheTribes – I just got recognized as one of their top fans!

Benin is recognized as the oldest kingdom in Nigeria and the second oldest in Africa, follow by Sahelian kingdom of Ghana, which dates back to the 11th century. Historical evidence suggests that Benin origins can be traced back to the 4th century, with some accounts asserting its existence since ancient times, unrecorded and known only through oral tradition.

Greek historian Herodotus, often regarded as the father of history, mentioned Benin as one of five ancient African cities between 3000 and 1000 BC. According to BBC UK, the Kingdom of Benin flourished in the rainforest by the 600s AD, influencing the art and religion of neighboring cultures, including Ife, which emerged later in the 900s and reached its peak from the 1400s to the 1600s.

In the broader context of West African history from 700 to 1600, several great empires such as Ancient Ghana, Mali, and Songhai thrived through extensive gold trading. The Ife Kingdom, was established in 1170 CE and neighbored Benin. Historical accounts, including Olumense (1971), confirm that the first ruler to establish kingship in Ife hailed from Benin.

The ethnic roots of many West African tribes, spanning Nigeria, Benin Republic, Ghana, and Gambia, can be traced back to Benin. This historical lineage underscores Benin's profound influence and cultural significance across the region.

Benin, situated in what is now southern Nigeria, remains a pivotal cultural and historical center, revered for its ancient origins and enduring cultural legacy. It stands as a testament to prehistoric habitation and the continuity of its traditions, predating written historical records.
