This Ancient Sumerian Cylinder Seal is said to depict 12 planets in our Solar System
Source: Ancient-Code.com
One of the most controversial seals ever discovered and discussed among scholars is dubbed VA/243 and seems to depict –accoridng to many—12 planets within our Solar System with the Sun at its center.
The Seal which dates back –at least- from the third millennium B.C. can be found at the State Museum in Easter Berlin and is cataloged as VA/243.
According to numerous researchers, this ancient Akkadian Cylinder Seal is one of the most ancient cylinder seals ever discovered and appears to be one of the most mysterious as well.
The reason? Well, it allegedly depicts the entire family of our Solar System and a rogue planet identified by authors such as Sitchin as Planet X, or Nibiru, home planet of the Ancient Anunnaki.
Zecharia Sitchin discusses the cylinder seal with great detail in his book the 12th Planet.
According to Sitchin, the cylinder seal undoubtedly depicts our solar system with the numerous heavenly bodies and their relative size.
There are nine planets we know of today, –if of course you still think Pluto should be a planet and not a dwarf planet— our moon, the Sun, and a rogue planet commonly referred to as Nibiru.
This interpretation by Sitchin has led towards a great number of criticism and as Michael S. Heiser indicates, the symbol depicted on the cylinder seal Va/234 is not the sun but a star.
According to Heiser, the alleged planets identified by Sitchin are not planets but other stars.
Heiser further argues that there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that the Sumerians had knowledge of more than five planets in out solar system.
Heiser indicates three main things in his study:
1) The inscription on the seal says nothing about astronomy, Nibiru, or planets.
2) The alleged "sun" symbol on the seal is not the sun. We know this for sure because it does not conform to the consistent depiction / symbology of the sun on hundreds of other cylinder seals, monuments, and pieces of Summer-Mesopotamian art.
3) There is not a single text in any extant Summer-Mesopotamian text that says the Sumerians or Mesopotamians knew of more than five planets. There are a number of cuneiform tablets that deal with astronomy, all of which have been compiled and published. These sources are accessible to the reader but at varying levels of difficulty.
Now this has made me think about both sides of the story, what Sitchin offers as an explanation and what a scholar like Michael S. Heiser has to say.
First of all, I am not saying that I believe any of them is correct in their interpretations, I am just forming my own little opinion.
The curious depictions on the Sumerian cylinder seal are fascinating. I find it extremely interesting that the creator of the seal decided to place a huge star (which resembles the sun) at the center, surrounded by other celestial bodies.
Even though Heiser argues that the star in the middle inst our star, but another star, I wonder why the creator of the seal did not depict the other stars (according to Heiser) just as he depicted the one in the middle?
Also, I wonder why the size of the star in the middle is represented as a larger body compared to the other celestial bodies.
Also, if all of the celestial bodies are stars as Heiser indicates, then why is the one in the middle depicted differently with characteristics eerily reminiscent of rays coming out of it?
Are these characteristics just another coincidence?
Or is it possible that we are missing something in this story?
However, if the mysterious objects depicted on the cylinder seal are in fact planets, how is it possible that the ancient Sumerians knew about our complete solar system in the 3rd millennium BC?
Not only that but how did they know their approximate size?
This leads to other questions like… where did the Sumerians obtain this knowledge from?
Did they develop it independently?
Or is it possible as many ancient cultures suggest, that some of that knowledge was passed on to them by 'gods' who came down from heaven and brought vast knowledge to man?
Does this ancient Sumerian Cylinder Seal depict the Solar System with all of its planets including Nibiru as Sitchin indicates?
Or is it possible that authors such as Michael S. Heiser are correct, and that the cylinder seal does not have any astronomical value and DOES NOT depict our solar system, planets, the moon, nor the sun?
There are other questions which must be raised when looking at the cylinder seal. For example, would a cylinder seal be the 'appropriate' medium by which someone —4,5000 years ago— would transmit such important astronomical knowledge?

Annunaki Structures Before The Flood: The 200,000-Year-Old Ancient City In Africa
Do you believe in the existence of the ancient Anunnaki?
Millions of people around the globe firmly believe that hundreds of thousands of years ago, advanced beings lived on Earth, and many refer to them as the Anunnaki: "those who came down from the heavens."
Supposedly, and according to some authors, the ancient Anunnaki were (still are?) extremely advanced 'alien' civilizations from an elusive planet in our solar system.
These mysterious beings came to Earth over 400,000 years ago and kick-started the human civilization.
But what are/were the Anunnaki? Are they mere mythological inventions from people thousands of years ago? Or is it possible there is evidence to support that they did, in fact, exist on Earth?
Interestingly, if we look back at the countless discoveries that have been made in the last couple of decades, we will understand that history as we know it is completely different from the reality.
In fact, countless archaeological and historical discoveries have been made that firmly contradict and challenged mainstream scholars and their views on human origins and history.
Each and every time we 'touch' the subject of the Anunnaki, we come across mixed feelings from different readers.
Many believe these ancient beings did exist on Earth, while others are firmly convinced that the Anunnaki are nothing more that mythological creatures and the result of ancient man's imagination.
Anyone who wants to find out more about the Anunnaki should read the books written by famous writer Zecharia Sitchin.
In 1976, Sitchin published his personal translations of the Sumerian texts in a series of books called "The Earth Chronicles."
According to Sitchin, the clay tablets describe an alien race known as the Anunnaki, who came to Earth to mine gold.
Sitchin practically suggests that extraterrestrial visited earth in the past because their home-planet needed gold to survive.
But if the ancient Anunnaki did exist, wouldn't there be evidence of their legacy on Earth?
Well, an ancient city discovered in Africa could prove to be the missing link to the Anunnaki.
Located around 150 km west of the port of Maputo, Researcher, and Author Michael Tellinger has found the remains of a vast metropolis that measures, according to initial surveys a staggering 1,500 square kilometers.
This ancient metropolis is, according to many, part of an even larger complex that encompasses an even greater area of 10,000 square kilometers, but the most fascinating detail about it is its age: It is believed to be between 160,000 and 200,000 years old.
When Heine first introduced me to the ancient stone ruins of southern Africa, he had no idea of the incredible discoveries we would achieve in the following years. The photographs, artifacts and evidence we accumulated, points towards a lost civilization that has never before been and precedes all others – not for a hundred years, or a few thousand years…but many thousands of years. – said Tellinger
Curiously, near these ancient metropolises the presence of ancient gold mines indicates the presence of an advanced civilization that was able to extract gold, in 200,000 BC, for a mysterious purpose.
Tellinger explains that this is rather interesting since it shows how a timeworn 'lost' civilization, prospered in the region while being capable of extracting massive amounts of gold at several mines in the region, all of this at a time when mainstream scholars are telling us, humans were not developed in order to undertake such 'sophisticated' projects.
But the question here is… who needed gold in 200,000 BC?
How was it extracted and is it possible that the relative vicinity to the sea was the reason why the giant metropolis was erected in the first place?
Was gold used in trade and sculptures? Or is it possible – as the Ancient Astronaut Theory proposes – that gold was used in a far more 'technological' purpose than what mainstream scholars are willing to accept?
I see myself a fairly open-minded chap, but I will admit that it took me well over a year for the penny to drop, and for me to realize that we are actually dealing with the oldest structures ever built by humans on Earth. – said Tellinger
Interestingly, we find that some 250,000 years ago, according to Sitchin, the ancient Anunnaki merged their Alien genes with that of Homo Erectus and created a species known as Homo Sapiens, obtaining as a result, a genetically bicameral species.
However, humans were a hybrid species and could not procreate.
Since the demand for humans as workers became greater, the ancient Anunnaki once again manipulated ancient mankind so they could reproduce on their own.
Based on The Cosmic Code: The Sixth Book of The Earth Chronicles by Zecharia Sitchin, this is the real historical timeline of our planet:
Events Before the Deluge
450,000 years ago,
On Nibiru, a distant member of our solar system, life faces slow extinction as the planet's atmosphere erodes. Deposed by Anu, the ruler Alalu escapes in a spaceship and finds refuge on Earth. He discovers that Earth has gold that can be used to protect Nibiru's atmosphere.
Led by Enki, a son of Anu, the Anunnaki land on Earth, establish Eridu -Earth Station I – for extracting gold from the waters of the Persian Gulf.
Earth's climate mellows. More Anunnaki arrive on Earth, among them Enki's half-sister Ninhursag, Chief Medical Officer.
As gold production falters, Anu arrives on Earth with Enlil, the heir apparent. It is decided to obtain the vital gold by mining it in southern Africa. Drawing lots, Enlil wins command of Earth Mission; Enki is relegated to Africa. On departing Earth, Anu is challenged by Alalu's grandson.
Seven functional settlements in southern Mesopotamia include a Spaceport (Sippar), Mission Control Center (Nippur), a metallurgical center (Shuruppak). The ores arrive by ships from Africa; the refined metal is sent aloft to orbiters manned by Igigi, then transferred to spaceships arriving periodically from Nibiru.
Gaining the support of the Igigi, Alalu's grandson attempts to seize mastery over Earth. The Enlilites win the War of the Olden Gods.
The Anunnaki toiling in the gold mines mutiny. Enki and Ninhursag create Primitive Workers through genetic manipulation of Ape woman; they take over the manual chores of the Anunnaki. Enlil raids the mines, brings the Primitive Workers to the Edin in Mesopotamia. Given the ability to procreate, Homo Sapiens begins to multiply.
Life on Earth regresses during a new glacial period.
Climate warms again. The Anunnaki (the biblical Nefilim), to Enlil's growing annoyance, marry the daughters of Man.
The "accursation of Earth" – a new Ice Age-begins. Regressive types of Man roam the Earth. Cro-Magnon man survives.
Enki and Ninhursag elevate humans of Anunnaki parentage to rule in Shuruppak. Enlil enraged. Plots Mankind's demise.
Realizing that the passage of Nibiru in Earth's proximity will trigger an immense tidal wave, Enlil makes the Anunnaki swear to keep the impending calamity a secret from Mankind.
According to many people around the globe, the Anunnaki are most definitely the ultimate proof that there are missing links in the origins of the human species.
I believe that it certainly is very interesting to read about findings like that of Mr. Tellinger, and other ancient sites around the globe. While it remains a great enigma whether or not the Ancient Anunnaki existed on Earth, and if they intervened in any way with the evolution of the human species, the truth is that many ancient civilizations around the globe show what appear to be links, or clues that possibly indicate a similar source of their knowledge.
Here are some images of the ancient city Mr. Tellinger talks about:
