Chris H. Hardy - Wars of the Anunnaki: Nuclear Self-Destruction in Ancient Sumer

This book is dedicated to Martin Luther Kingand the courageous and daring people of Selmas march, for a vision that became reality;as the fulfillment of a promise he asked from me.

WARS
OF THE
ANUNNAKI

Chris Hardy, Ph.D., releases yet another scholarly probewith expertly written evidence and keen observations of our ancient past that will not remain hidden or forgotten. Her extensive research and understanding piece together a history of rivalries, avant-garde knowledge of weapons, advanced technologies, and warring gods that can only be understood today, in our modern times, as we have entered the nuclear age. Great truths are revealed in this unraveling of history. Superb book!

Chris Hardys new book gives us an interesting account of the destructive wars of ancient times. She makes a strong case for the use of nuclear weapons many thousands of years agoin a devastating war that ranged across several planets in our solar system.

DAVID HATCHER CHILDRESS, AUTHOR OF TECHNOLOGY OF THE GODS AND PUBLISHER OF ADVENTURES UNLIMITED PRESS

The Anunnaki wars described by Chris H. Hardy, Ph.D., are revealed to be territorial, egomaniacal family feuds where even nukes are used! So, if these warring Sumerian gods were extraterrestrials from a rogue Nibiru planet a million years agowho needed gold to restore their planets deteriorating atmosphere and genetically boosted Homo erectus as well as other later standing-up primates to be a labor forcethen this book also shows why humans have long fought irrational wars over whose god is superior. Such an important work!

LINDA MOULTON HOWE, EMMY AWARDWINNING INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST AND REPORTER AND EDITOR OF EARTHFILES.COM

The unraveling of some dark events in our past through the detailed accounts of the Sumerian tablets can make ones hair rise when we discover the true and dire reasons for the smashing of the Babel Tower and especially the erasing of Sodom and Gomorrah by weapons of mass destruction. Chris Hardy shows that the tablets reveal a total absence of sexual sin and, to the contrary, a lethal infighting for power within a royal family of men and women who became our gods.

MARILYN SCHLITZ, PH.D., AUTHOR, LABORATORY AND CLINICAL SCIENTIST, SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGIST, AND PRESIDENT EMERITUS OF THE INSTITUTE OF NOETIC SCIENCES

From her thorough research in Sumerian texts as well as biblical literature and archaeological sites, Hardy has concluded that weapons of mass destruction are not new. Readers might disagree, but they will not be bored with this richly documented and provocative book.

STANLEY KRIPPNER, PH.D., AUTHOR AND PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY AT SAYBROOK UNIVERSITY

This groundbreaking book by Chris Hardy presents convincing evidence from ancient history and modern science that a cataclysmic nuclear event destroyed ancient Sumerian culture. This important and thought-provoking book challenges our assumptions about the past and raises disturbing questions about mankinds future.

RICHARD DEWHURST, AUTHOR OF THE ANCIENT GIANTS WHO RULED AMERICA

This book should be of interest to all those who are, like me, interested in evidence for ancient warfare involving the use of weapons resembling modern nuclear weapons.

FOREWORD

The Growing Acceptance of Ancient Astronauts

Jim Marrs

Beliefs are like noses. Everybodys got one.

But beliefs are not knowledge. And knowledge is not wisdom, which can only be attained through extensive study and research plus real-world experience.

So, I dont believe that is not a valid argument, especially when it comes to the subject of extraterrestrial visitation in human prehistory.

Chris H. Hardy, with her doctorate in psychological anthropology and scientific research in the science of consciousness, has joined a growing number of journalists, academics, and scientists of various stripes who today take the idea of ancient astronauts quite seriously.

This ever-expanding list includes geologist Robert Schoch; astronomer Thomas Van Flandern; physicist John E. Brandenburg; historian Richard Dolan; historian and philosopher of science Michael Cremo; ancient Egypt researchers Robert Bauval and John Anthony West; theologian Paul Von Ward; computer programmer Christopher Dunn; academics Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, Dr. Joe Lewels, and Dr. Arthur David Horn; journalists Graham Hancock and Linda Moulton Howe; cryptographer R. A. Boulay; researchers Alan F. Alford, David Childress, Neil Freer, Philip Coppens, Lloyd Pye, Michael Tellinger, Laurence Gardner, and William Bramley; and TV personality Giorgio Tsoukalos. The History Channels program Ancient Aliens, begun in 2009, has enjoyed great popular success, moving into its eleventh season in 2016.

Actually, the concept of ancient gods as extraterrestrial visitors is not a new one. One of the common denominators of all the earliest peoples in the worldthe Sumerians; the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, and Hindus; Australian aborigines; Aztecs and Incas; the Dogon tribe in Africais that of flight. According to conventional history, there were no heavier-than-air flying machines until the Wright brothers flew at Kitty Hawk in 1903. Yet all these peoples have legends of visitors who flew through the skies and brought them knowledge.

In the 1930s, fantasy writer H. P. Lovecraft was producing strange tales of Great Old Ones who came from deep space to Earth in the distant past and now lie slumbering in the oceans depths, awaiting their chance to regain mastery of the world while their minions mingle among us. In 1960, British aviation magazine editor Brinsley Le Poer Trench published The Sky People, which posited that not only had extraterrestrial visitors come to Earth in prehistoric times but they are still with us today.

But the popularity of the ancient astronaut theme got its major boost with the 1968 publication of Chariots of the Gods by Swiss journalist and author Erich von Dniken. Although savagely criticized at the time by mainstream scientists and theologians, von Dnikens thesis has continually gained validity by recent discoveries in archaeology and anthropology. Not so easy to dismiss was Middle Eastern scholar Zecharia Sitchin, whose prolific work, including the seven-volume Earth Chronicles series, provided compelling support for early alien intervention based on his translation of ancient Sumerian literature, which predates the Bible.
