Intelligent Life In The Universe

The first popular and accurate discussion of natural evolution, origins of the universe, stars and planets. Collaboration between famous American Carl Sagan and world/famous Russian Astronomer, I.S. Shklovskii explaining the origins and life in the universe.

In a remarkably frank passage by Dr. Sagan, stating that he had come upon a legend that seemed to be a “genuine contact” with ETs. He adds, “It is of special interest because it relates to the origin of Sumerian civilization.” Carl Sagan gives a much more rational and believable answer when he goes on to say, “Sumer was an early – perhaps the first – civilization in the contemporary sense on the planet Earth. . . . Taken at face value the legend suggests that contact occurred between human beings and a non-human civilization of immense powers.” What else can a nonhuman civilization mean than a nonearthly one that exists on another world in space? Dr. Sagan even goes on to give the Sumerian description of the ETs and the craft they came in, also the many “wonders” they possessed, then admits that this may not be myth but an actual historical event.

Sagan then cites one of those myths. “Sumerian civilization is depicted by the descendents of the Sumerians themselves to be of non-human origin. A succession of strange creatures appears. . . . Their only apparent purpose is to instruct mankind.” He goes on to say that the strange creatures, called Oannes and other names [ANUNNAKI], are always described as “endowed with reason,” or as powerful “beings,” as “semi-demons,” and “personages” but never as gods.
