Many people are interested in the question: where does the gold go from the planet? At the same time, the question itself is surprising. Why exactly should it disappear from the planet, and most importantly, how should this happen?
Gold as part of the Earth
Gold is a metal that is predominantly in the solid state on Earth. This is on the surface of the lithosphere, and in magma and volcanic emissions, this metal can be liquid and even gaseous. The fact is that pure gold melts at a temperature of 1064.43 °C. If the heating is continued, then this metal may boil at a temperature of 2947 ° C.
Under natural conditions, only the melting temperature can develop on the surface of the lithosphere. The fact is that during volcanic eruption, the temperature does not exceed 1200 ° C. Pouring out to the surface, the volcanic lava cools down, and all the metals that were part of this hot solution become solid again.
What happens to this element on planet Earth? If human activity is not taken into account, then the natural circulation of this metal is subject to the following processes:
- Ore gold (accumulations of pure metal in the earth's strata) is in a state of stagnation. That means it's sort of hoarded and hidden away. This is a natural safe, where something is stored for the time being, for the time being.
- Washing out of gold from the earth's thickness. No matter how the planet hides substances and elements, water will surely penetrate this safe and begin to wash out its contents.
- Metal extracted by water from ore reserves is carried away by flowing waters into the ocean. However, along the way, it settles in the upper soils, including the soil. Living organisms have the ability to involve all the substances available to them in their own turnover, which is also called the small circle of substances and elements turnover. Eating each other and organic remains, organisms of different species do not release substances from this small circle. Precious metals are also in a similar circulation. Each organism necessarily contains gold, which performs its physiological function.
Thus, gold goes through its earthly circulation mainly under the influence of water. Living organisms control the flow of this element in microscopically small amounts. This, if calculated in quantity per 1 organism, and if you multiply the gold of 1 organism by the entire number of organisms on the planet, including people, you will get a very impressive figure.
Can gold naturally leave the planet?
The forces of gravity and the cycles of biogeochemical cycles make every effort to ensure that not a single atom can disappear from the earth. However, this is not always possible. Out of the atmosphere, the elements that make up its upper layers go into space. The planet, or rather, its atmosphere, is left primarily by hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. However, hydrogen is the leader in this list.
Gold and other metals do not naturally reach the limits of the atmosphere behind the ozone shield. After all, it is there that the most intense interaction of the forces of space and the substances of the planet takes place.
Gold, even in a dusty state, always remains on Earth. The only natural process by which this metal could get into space and disappear from the circulation of planet Earth is a very strong volcanic eruption. However, this has not been observed in the foreseeable geological past and is not happening now. So gold cannot disappear on Earth. It can only move within this planet.
Man and gold - processes and consequences
Thus, there is nowhere for gold to go from the planet. The only way to move this metal outside the planet is by spaceship flights. It is possible that gold is included in some parts of these devices. However, its quantity is so negligible that it is not necessary to talk about the leakage of this metal from the planet.
Nevertheless, people suddenly began to wonder: where does the gold disappear to? This does not mean the loss of precious metal from bank vaults, but the sudden shortage of a planetary scale that has arisen.
Man has long chosen this yellow non-oxidizable metal as a universal currency, for which you can always exchange material values.
By extracting ore or alluvial gold, a person removes the most useless metal in the world from nature. Its only rational use is the production of parts for some equipment, as well as for use in medical purposes. It is quite difficult to call the production of jewelry a rational use. After all, gold jewelry is made only because it is still a universal means of payment, personifying the wealth of the owner.
The question that this element is disappearing from the planet somewhere arose from the fact that someone calculated how much of it was mined and is being mined, and how much of it is now in various bins and active circulation. The numbers didn't match. And they couldn't get along. Gold from the planet has nowhere to go. The version of aliens taking this metal out of the planet in huge quantities looks at least a fantasy, and unscientific at that.
A person forms his own turnover of gold, in which there are:
- stock at the state and individual level;
- jewelry production;
- production of industrial parts.
In parallel with the entry of this substance into economic circulation, its consumption is also observed, or rather, losses, which are manifested in such factors:
- buried and forgotten treasures;
- ships and planes that have gone to the bottom;
- losses of the substance involved in the economic turnover.
In the latter case, we are talking about losses in the literal sense. Gold that is not stored in safes, chests and caskets is destroyed by natural elements rather quickly.
In the Russian Federation, gold mining by individuals is prohibited. A bill that would allow all interested citizens to engage in small-scale mining has been considered in the Duma for almost seven years! Meanwhile, illegal gold mining in Russia is booming. It is, according to some sources, up to ten percent of the total gold production in the country.
There was a short period in the history of the Russian Federation when the extraction of precious metals and stones was allowed to all citizens of Russia. In 1992, such a bill was passed. Belatedly earned gold cash desks in Buryatia and Magadan.
And in 1998, the law was repealed: from that time on, only organizations that received licenses could engage in gold mining.
Illegal gold mining
In 2002, the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Alexander Lebed, developed amendments and additions to the law "On Precious Metals and Precious Stones". Lebed offered not only to organizations, but also to individuals, who must obtain licenses for this. He was supported by the governor of the Magadan region Valentin Tsvetkov. The bill was submitted to the State Duma, but it was not adopted.
A new draft law "On alluvial gold mining by individual entrepreneurs" under the number 429535-5 appeared in 2010. It was adopted in the first reading, then the situation stalled. Meanwhile, the law is needed, and many in the gold-mining regions from the Urals to Magadan are waiting for it.
The number of deposits and mines in the country that are not of industrial importance, but they contain some amount of gold, is in the thousands. they only benefit small businesses. A large organization will not go there, because it is not economically profitable for it to work at a facility where, for example, gold reserves are less than 10 kilograms. Therefore, such small deposits become the object of illegal extraction of precious metals.
In Russia, illegal miners extract metal from alluvial deposits. Few people are engaged in mining in vein deposits. This practice is common in Kazakhstan, where people risk their lives by climbing into abandoned mines or paying guards to let them into protected mines.
A hundred years ago, 90 percent of the precious metal was mined from placers, today - no more than 14 percent. But industrial gold mining is mainly focused on the development of vein deposits.
Predators or miners?
Predators are people who mine gold without licenses and permits. The word was known even in pre-revolutionary Russia, since even in those days not everyone could get a license.
The predator's equipment has changed little over the century. This is a pick, a shovel, a tray, primitive devices for. Few people use expensive modern means, as they can be taken away. And not only law enforcement agencies, but also crime.
All predators dream of getting rich, but only a few succeed. Even if a black prospector attacked a gold-bearing area, selling what he found is a big problem. Most often, the predator itself becomes a victim of crime or envious fellow prospectors.
On the Internet, you can easily find a lot of stories about successful prospectors who received sentences for their work, and the gold was confiscated. A man in Buryatia washed gold all summer, and washed up about three kilograms. He was caught on the highway by FSB officers. Most likely, the lucky predator was handed over by his own prospector friends. The man was sentenced to two years probation and the gold was confiscated.
Extraction of precious metal with the help of a tray is the hardest work. But he is illegal in Russia. Many miners die at the hands of bandits or in the taiga, left without help.
People do not become predators because of a good life. In search of many, it is not a thirst for adventure that drives them, but unemployment, a natural desire to feed their families.
The legalization of alluvial gold mining could solve a lot of problems.
- eliminate unemployment in many settlements;
- to attract people to the regions of Siberia and the Far East, from where there is now a massive outflow of the population;
- increase the production of precious metals in the country;
- to fill the budget due to the delivery of legal gold by the population.
The handicraft method of extraction is very promising in many regions of Russia. Prospectors often find new deposits, such precedents often happened in other countries. Many residents of Buryatia, the Magadan region are ready for non-industrial placers, but they are held back by only one factor - their activities will be considered illegal.
The best way to legalize illegal gold mining is to sell licenses, as in Australia. A license to search and mine gold here can be bought online for $30. Many tourists are drawn to this simple scheme and travel to the fifth continent in search of gold. How much each tourist finds on average is modestly kept silent by Australian statistics, but any find of a nugget becomes the property of the press. Due to this, tourism in Australia is booming.
Illegal in many countries. Millions of people in Africa and Asia wash sand every day or climb into adits and mines at their own peril and risk. In Mongolia and Kazakhstan, black prospecting is widespread, but few people are punished for their activities. In Peru, a quarter of the gold is mined illegally.
Illegal gold mining flourishes in South Africa and Ghana. According to some reports, about a million is illegally mined in South Africa alone. But the miners cannot sell gold at a normal price in their own country and travel to Zimbabwe. Gold miners earn no more than five dollars a day.
Illegal business does not bring income to diggers and the state in any country in the world. Developing countries that are interested in the development of gold mining soften their laws and encourage mining. In many civilized countries, they do not neglect the extraction of precious metals in an artisanal way and sell licenses without red tape and delay.
Punishment for illegal mining
If a miner mined 20 grams of gold in the taiga with tireless work and was caught “hot”, does he face criminal liability? Most likely no.
The illegal circulation of precious metals in our country was partially decriminalized in 2011.
According to Article 19.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, administrative liability is provided for violation of the established rules for the extraction, production, use, circulation, receipt, accounting and storage of precious metals.
But the gold will be confiscated and a fine of 3,000 to 5,000 rubles will be imposed. It does not provide for the confiscation of equipment.
Criminal liability occurs in the event of the discovery of precious metals in large amounts - in the amount of more than a million rubles.
But if a prospector is caught on someone else's deposit, he is unlikely to get off with a fine, in which case he faces criminal liability. After all, the deposit is someone's property.
I apologize in advance to erudite readers for the simplicity of presentation. In pseudoscientific terminology, the meaning of the presentation is lost.
Where are all these aliens? Aren't they tired of visiting Earth so often? Probably live far away. They fly, leave traces, but not a single one is anywhere to see, chat. They are hiding, they are so advanced, they are afraid of us.
Why do countries accumulate gold? They don’t show each other, they just make up reports and write in the press how much they already have.
Why does mankind have only goals in space exploration? And there are no bright victories. Let's go ahead. Then they stopped in front of the moon for thirty years. Now plans again, one better than the other. It is scary to say how many space stations and modules can be made from such a number of military aircraft. Scientists write that our civilization is millions of years old, and only a few satellites have been thrown further into the Earth's atmosphere, if they have been abandoned. Go check it out.
And again, we are all the time poking a finger up - black holes, nebulae, quasars, pulsars and dark matter. But why? None of us will get there. And the growth of giant garbage patches in the oceans does not bother anyone. The globe will soon have to be redrawn, five more continents are planned - garbage.
Seriously, everything that happens on the planet can be explained simply.
Our solar system is built outside the box. A normal planetary system has a number of gradually decreasing planets. Closer to the star are large, further in growth. In the solar system, small planets are placed inside - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and then immediately a huge Jupiter, followed by a smaller one - Saturn. Four small planets seem to be protected by giants and a star.
The strange Moon is a strict spherical shape, in contrast to the flattened Earth. The Moon's orbit is built in such a way that the Moon is always turned with only one side towards the Earth. It also creates a total solar eclipse. Various luminous objects are constantly moving above its surface.
Pyramids, incomprehensible gigantic structures and megaliths. It is not known who built it, when and why. Data about them is often distorted or simply invented.
Finds of various items that do not correspond to the level of technology of the time of the layer in which the items were found.
And an endless number of unanswered questions. There are many TV shows that have only questions and no answers.
Imagine the following.
The ground inside is empty. Why not? If you unwind a spherical vessel with water, it will spread over the inner surface. The earth is spinning. The linear speed of a point on the equator is about 1700 km/h, and in the middle lane about 1300 km/h.
Sufficiently massive walls of the globe may well contain molten rocks in the middle, and water inside and outside. Two holes along the axis of rotation at the top and bottom.
It is quite possible that life on Earth and man were created by intelligent beings in the inner world, where it is easy to provide the necessary climatic conditions for such an incubator.
At first, human civilization existed only inside the Earth and gradually transformed the outer surface. Soil-forming biomachines - dinosaurs - were launched and plants were planted. Soil is the decaying remains of biomass. Then part of the intra-Earths came to the surface and began life in a more aggressive world, in comparison with the hothouse existence inside the Earth.
After some time, the external inhabitants, who spent more effort on survival, already differed from the internal ones in greater assertiveness and energy, but lacked the necessary technical means. In the course of development, differences accumulated between the two parts of the earth's population, despite the exchange of values. Skirmishes and destructive wars took place on the surface, destroying buildings and inhabitants.
Everything that happens in the past and present is the result of cooperation and conflicts between the two earthly worlds - the external, lagging behind in development, and the internal, more developed. Perhaps the surface world is only a place for mining metals and the necessary materials for the inner world.
By the way, the bright sun changes the pigmentation of the skin, and in low light, it is white.
Today it is not necessary to be Indiana Jones - everyone can participate in the process of mining gold and diamonds.
Cullinan Diamond Mine (Pretoria, South Africa)
The South African diamond mine became famous in 1905 when the world's largest 3106 carat Cullinan diamond was found here. The mine is also known as the only rich deposit of rare blue diamonds. The Cullinan adits are located on the site of an extinct volcano, the clay from which is passed through a special grinder that screens out diamonds.
The legendary mine not only continues to operate today, but has also become available to tourists. Visitors are told about mining, shown to an old mining town, offered to buy precious stones. Excursion price: from $10
Berezovsky gold mine (Berezovsky, Russia)
An excursion in one of the mines of the Severnaya mine takes place at a depth of 512 meters. The mine, which is over 250 years old, is considered the longest-running mine in the world. It was here that the first Russian ore gold was found.
During the tour, tourists are introduced to the process of gold mining. At the same time, visitors can try to pan for gold themselves, and at the end, even pick up a piece of rock as a keepsake. The cost of the tour: from 500 to 1100 rubles. from a person.
According to the organizers, nowhere else in the world tourists are allowed to enter the operating gold mines.
Where else can you find gold?
- . At a gold prospecting camp near the town of Jamestown, California, tourists will be taught how to get the right to mine gold, as well as learn how to wash gold and find gold veins.
- . A tourist license for gold mining in Finland costs 300-400 euros for 10-15 days. In the vicinity of the city of Saariselkä, you can explore the 7-kilometer route through abandoned mines.
- . Here, for a few tens of dollars, you can buy a license for gold mining. Found can be freely taken out of the country.
- . A small alluvial gold deposit in the country is not specially worked out, but is used to attract tourists.
- . A license for non-industrial gold mining costs, for example, in Benin $500-1000 for a plot up to 1 km in size, provided that it works with non-industrial equipment.
Lampivaara amethyst mine (Luosto, Finland)
The only one in Europe is located on Mount Lampivaara, not far from the Finnish ski resort of Luosto. Purple stone is mined here by hand. The mine also has a grinding workshop where stones are processed and sorted. The best amethysts are sent to Luosto, where they are made into jewelry, which then goes to local shops. Stones can also be purchased directly from the mine.
Excursion cost: entrance 20 euros (tourists get on foot or on skis), 37 euros (including transportation from Ukko or Luosto), 58 euros (transfer by train).
Emerald Mine (Muzo, Colombia)
About 60% of all emeralds are produced in Colombia. The most beautiful in the world are emeralds from Muzo, where the main stone deposit in the country is located. It was here that in the middle of the 19th century the Devonshire Emerald was found at 1383.95 carats. The miners of the emerald mine - guajeros - extract stones by hand, washing them in the river.
During the tour, tourists visit a mine and a river where guajeros work. You can buy stones at the emerald market, located near the mine. Excursion price: $445 (including 2 overnight stays - in Muzo and in Bogotá).
You can also watch the extraction of emeralds in Russia - in the Urals. Here, Europe's largest malyshevo emerald-beryllium deposit was opened for tourists. Visitors will be shown the place where the first emerald was found and the observation deck of the quarry. Here you can take a master class on processing gems and even look for stones on your own.
Marble quarries (Carrara, Italy)
The world's largest marble deposits are located in the vicinity of the Italian town of Carrara. Marble has been mined in Carrara for over 2,000 years.
It was in Carrara that the great sculptor Michelangelo chose the material for his creations. His most famous statue - David - is made of Carrara marble. This marble can also be found in Russia - it was used in the lining of the underground vestibules of the Moscow metro station Prospekt Marksa (now Okhotny Ryad).
During the tour, tourists will be shown how workers cut off a huge block of marble. In the sculptor's workshop, guests will see what tools they use to work on stone.
The cost of the tour: from 35 euros.
"City of Gems" (Ratnapura, Sri Lanka)
In Ratnapura (translated as “city of gems”), a blue sapphire of 400 carats “Blue Beauty” adorning the English crown, as well as a sapphire “Star of India” of 536 carats were found. In addition to sapphires, rubies, tourmalines, topazes, garnets, amethysts and other stones are mined here. Mining takes place by hand - the rocks are lifted from the mine with ropes and washed in the nearest river in wicker baskets.
Tourists can visit an active mine and a factory for processing precious stones. Guests descend to a depth of 30 meters. The work here is carried out by the light of electric lamps. The descent is carried out along the wooden walls of the vertical shaft, with climbing insurance. The tour also includes a visit to the Ratnapura Museum, which displays the remains of fossil animals found in local mines, as well as a large collection of jewelry. Here you can order the manufacture of any jewelry.
Excursion price: from $50
Uyuni Salt Flat (Bolivia)
The lakes of the famous salt marsh Uyuni (Salar de Uyuni) with a total area of more than 10 thousand square kilometers are located in Bolivia at an altitude of 3650 m. Uyuni is all that remains of a huge prehistoric salt lake that covered almost the entire southwest of Bolivia. Salt reserves here are about 10 billion tons. During the rainy season from November to March, the salt marsh is covered with a thin layer of water, creating a very beautiful mirror effect.
Every year, more than 70 thousand tourists come here to see the lake, as well as flocks of pink flamingos, giant cacti, ancient volcanoes and geysers. The 3- and 4-day tours to the salt marsh also include a visit to the Uyuni Train Cemetery, which used to be a major railway hub in Bolivia. Tourists are then taken to the salt-mining area, where the salt is manually scraped from the surface of the salt marsh into heaps weighing a ton or more and left to dry in the sun before being transported to a processing plant.
Excursion price: from $55
Visitors to the salt marsh can stay at one of the nearby salt hotels. The walls of these hotels, as well as their interior decoration, are completely made of salt. There are salt restaurants here, and some of the hotels offer spa services.
Kirunavaara Iron Mine (Kiruna, Sweden)
Kirunavaara is considered the largest mine in the world. About 500 kilometers of tunnels were dug under a small town at a depth of up to 1270 meters. For the first time, iron ore was mined here more than 6 thousand years ago.
The mine continues to grow, and local authorities in 2013 began to move the city away from the mine.
Tourists can go down to a depth of 540 meters and see how iron is mined - here, in the mines of LKAB, a vivid picture of the development of the mining industry is presented. Excursion price: from $50 (including transfer and guide).
Salt mines (Soledar, Ukraine)
In the city of Soledar, Donetsk region, there is a unique salt mine. In addition to the main purpose, the mine is a sanatorium and cultural object. In 2004, there was even a concert of the Donbass Symphony Orchestra "Salt Symphony" here.
Tourists descend into the mine to a depth of 300 meters in an elevator. The whole tour passes through the worked out mines, where everything is made of salt. Near the excursion route at a depth of 288 meters there is a speleosanatorium "Salt Symphony", where bronchopulmonary and allergic diseases are treated, and a church was even built in one of the salt galleries.
The cost of the tour: 240 UAH (1000 rubles).
Mines as an attraction
The reserves of some mines will never be exhausted thanks to the ingenuity of their owners. After closing, many of the existing mines in the world turn into tourist sites and attract travelers, sometimes with very unusual attractions. Many of these mines are even guarded (Polish Wieliczka, Brazilian Ouro Preto, Spanish Las Medulas, Swedish Falun).
So, what can you do in mines that have exhausted their natural resources:
- Boat. In an Austrian mine, the tour includes a boat ride on an underground lake formed by an explosion in the adits.
- There is cheese. The cobalt mines in Norway age cheese made in the traditional way. Tourists can look at the places where it is stored and buy it in one of the local shops. This cheese is supplied to the royal family of Norway.
- Ride on a mining train. To do this, tourists descend into the Hallstatt salt mine in Austria. From here, you can also take a nearly vertical funicular up the mountain.
- Improve health. Another salt mine - the Romanian Slanic Prahova - has now become a treatment center: in specially equipped halls at a depth of 208 meters, asthma sufferers are encouraged to inhale the healing air saturated with sodium.
- Hold a wedding or conference. The former Wieliczka salt mine in Poland has been turned into a cultural site since its closure. It also often hosts concerts and sports competitions.
- Stop for the night. An unusual hotel was opened in one of the grottoes of the Swedish silver mine Sala Silvergruva. In The Mine Suite, located at a depth of 155 meters, many pieces of furniture are made from silver mined in a mine.

Have you ever wondered, “Where does the gold go?” What is in circulation among people in the form of: jewelry, coins, ingots, etc.?It just so happened - our civilization can no longer exist without metals: iron, bronze, copper, silver, etc. We all understand that these metals are in much greater circulation than gold, because it is not used for our needs. At the same time, no other metal was the cause of the most terrible and bloody wars and crimes. No other metal has caused so many problems.
Let's go back far into the past. Now it is difficult to say when for the first time a person turned his attention to gold. In those distant times, he could not have thought about how to apply this material. In Egypt, gold was called "nub", it is believed that it was from him that the name of the country came from - "Nubia", in which the Egyptians mined gold. Gold that they mined by the 7th century BC equal to about three thousand tons.
It became the envy of the neighbors. And in 571 BC. era was captured by the Assyrians. But just fifty years later, gold became part of Babylon. By this time, hundreds of tons of precious metal brought from Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar had been collected in Babylon.
But Babylon, too, became the subject of envy over time. At that time, almost two million people lived in it, the city was surrounded by triple impregnable walls, it would seem that nothing threatens it, but ... The city was stormed and was taken by the troops of the Persian king Cyrus the Great. The next king (Darius) began to mint gold coins from this gold - dariki (8.4).
It is not difficult to guess that Persia also fell under the blows of Macedonia. All the gold and silver was loaded onto 5,000 camels and 10,000 wagons! From Macedonia alone, Alexander the Great concentrated more than 5,000 tons of gold. This is without counting gold from other countries of India and Central Asia!
Over time, all the wealth migrated to Rome. It was gold that contributed to the corruption of the "city of Rome and the world." In these times, as much gold was collected in Rome as there has never been in free circulation throughout the world.
History repeats itself… The richer we become, the stronger the envy of our neighbors. Such a person by nature ... One of the kings of the Vandals was able to take 600 tons of gold from the destroyed Rome in the 5th century. Do not forget to rob all the Mediterranean countries along the way.
And history repeats itself...
Historians cannot understand why the amount of gold in the world began to decrease after the fall of Constantinople in 1204. The next round begins with the discovery of the New World. In the early years of discovery, 900 kg of gold was brought to Spain. And then, over the course of two hundred years, 2600 tons of this metal were taken out of the New World.
All these treasures that are listed here - no! Where are they? Not a single coin of Caesar, A. Macedonian and other no less significant kings has come down to us. Only those insignificant amounts of gold that were stored in the graves of the pyramids or were lost due to catastrophes have come down to us. For example, Pompeii was destroyed by a volcanic eruption.
Someone will say - it was ground to powder and scattered around the world. But don't you think it's so easy? Here everything is much more complicated ... Let's go down to earth and see what happened in the coming times.
Rich placers of gold nuggets were found in 1814 by Brusnitsky in the Urals. Then deposits were found in Transbaikalia (now the Transbaikal Territory) in the Amur region, on the Lena. For a hundred years, these deposits gave up to 17 years for Russia more than 3,000 tons of gold.
By the beginning of World War II, the first crisis arose in the world; it did not affect only the United States. Since by this time the United States contained 21,800 tons of gold. The USSR at that time had a stock of 2600 tons. We should not forget that after the war we had to pay our debt to the United States in pure gold. It is not difficult to guess that all the gold in the world went to America. We repaid our debt, but England never returned to us 440 tons of gold, which she owed us even under the tsar.
Now every year gold production is equal to 2 thousand tons per year. About five hundred tons go to jewelry, about two hundred tons go to medicine and technology. The rest is lost. But where it disappears, we will talk further ...
Where does the gold go?
Theory one:
One of the very ancient Sumerian seals (now in the storerooms of the British Museum) depicts some "gods" holding something like cords and pulling them from the Sun. Of the experts and Egyptologists, no one turned their attention to the attribute explaining the picture for what exactly they pull the “cords” from the Sun, what is their purpose and what is the purpose. Let's try to figure this out for you. But first you need to outline the history of the Sumerians. According to their legend, the Anunnaki (Nephilim) arrived on Earth from the planet Nibiru about 450,000 years ago in search of gold - they needed it to restore the atmosphere.
For the first tens of millennia, the Anunnaki mined gold on their own, but then a rebellion broke out among the workers and, with the help of genetic engineering, the Anunnaki created people - thanks to which human civilization arose. It was the Nephilim who passed on their knowledge and experience to us, and we, in turn, gave them the gold we mined every 3600 years. (Information taken from Zecharia Sitchin's book 12 The Planet)
Theory two:
If the first theory comes from ancient Sumerian records, then the second is taken from the Vedas.
The Vedas (Sanskrit - "knowledge", "teaching") - a collection of the most ancient sacred scriptures of Hinduism in Sanskrit. For many years, man lived alone on the planet, but after ... other creatures similar to reptiles flew to earth.
This is also reported by Nikolai Levashov and Trekhlebov. Although they do not even report, but say that it was written a long time ago before us. Let's remember what we forgot!
The general theory is that when these creatures flew to earth, they mimicked with the natives, in this case it is us. Interbreeding occurs not only on our planet, but also in other parts of the galaxy. After that, these creatures study all the sacred writings of the people (natives) and begin to use them for their own benefit. After that, they declare themselves God's chosen ones and thereby seize power, force the natives to extract minerals and take them away from the planet. You can’t write everything, that’s why I’m attaching an interview ....
Hypothesis two:
The Sumerian civilization is the oldest on our planet. In the second half of the 4th millennium, it appeared, as if from nowhere.
According to customs, the language of this people was alien to the Semitic tribes who settled Northern Mesopotamia a little later. The racial identity of the ancient Sumer has not been determined so far. The history of the Sumerians is mysterious and amazing. Sumerian culture gave mankind writing, the ability to work metals, the wheel and the potter's wheel. In an incomprehensible way, these people possessed knowledge that relatively recently only became known to science. They left behind so many mysteries and secrets that they rightfully occupy almost the first place among all the amazing events in our lives.
How the ancient Sumerians surprised modern scientists.
After deciphering the Sumerian manuscripts, or rather, cuneiform writing, since the Sumerian writing was precisely wedge, scientists were simply shocked. Let's start with the fact that the Sumerians used the ternary system of calculus.
In fairness, we note that after the Sumerians, until recently, no one had a need for it, because such a system is used only by modern technology in the manufacture of computers. In addition, the Sumerians knew and applied the principle of the golden section, used the Fibonacci numbers, had knowledge of the modern level in chemistry, herbal medicine and astronomy.
According to the Sumerians, more than 4 billion years ago there was a grand "heavenly battle" - a catastrophe that changed the entire appearance of the solar system, in particular - changed the tilt of the axes of several planets, which is confirmed by the latest scientific data. The Sumerians had a developed state structure - there was a jury trial, democratic governing bodies based on popular elections, each ancient Sumerian had his own protected rights.
Please note that there was no mention of Rome or Ancient Greece yet. It was in Sumer that the first bricks in the world were molded and fired, from which the Sumerians built multi-storey palaces and temples. They still argue about their mines - why did the ancient Sumerians need so much gold and where was it used? The mines are up to 20 meters deep, and more than 100,000 years ago people were already mining gold there industrially.
Cosmogony of the Sumerians.
And only Sumerian mythology sheds light on where the gold went, and why it was needed in the Stone Age.
According to Sumerian cosmogony, 12 planets revolved around the Sun. That is, all the planets known to our science (although Pluto was discovered only in 1930) and one more planet unknown to us, rotating in an elliptical orbit between Mars and Jupiter. The name of this planet is Nibiru, which means "crossing planet". It was so named because its orbit is highly elongated and once every 3600 years Nibiru crosses the entire solar system. According to the Sumerians, it was from Nibiru that the Anunaki descended to Earth. There is a mention of them in the Bible, although they are referred to there as “nifilim” (“descended from heaven”). It was they who "took earthly women as wives", and even more than that - they left offspring.
But something else is much more amazing! According to the Sumerians, the Anunaki first arrived on Earth long before the rise of the Sumerian civilization. And they are the ones who created man. For what? Then, that they were tired of mining gold themselves. The annals say that the Anunaki were long-lived - their age was long, and all this time they mined gold, trying first to extract it from the waters of the Persian Gulf, but to no avail, and after this attempt they took up the mines. There is a version that they needed gold to create a gold-containing shield to protect their planet. Similar technologies exist now in comic projects. That's why the inhabitants of Nibiru left their home planet and settled on Earth. And every 3600 years, when the planets were as close as possible, gold was transported to Nibiru.
Creation of people
According to Sumerian legends, the Anunaki were engaged in gold mining on their own for almost 150 thousand years.
But the outbreak of the uprising jeopardized the entire project of saving Nibiru. And that's when the plan was born to create assistants - people. And this whole process is described in detail, step by step, on the clay tablets of the ancient Sumerians. This information produced the effect of an exploding bomb among geneticists, because everything indicated that the Anunaki were perfectly familiar with both DNA and how to create a person artificially. There are detailed instructions that, first of all, work must be carried out under sterile conditions. Further, it appears that the egg of a female monkey was taken. Then it was fertilized, but in addition to this, the “essence” was added there - “what binds the memory” (in our understanding of DNA), obtained from the blood of the selected Anunaki purified in a special way. In addition, something was extracted from the blood of the gods, which, very approximately, can be called "soul".
After that, the fertilized and modified egg should be entrusted to "a lot of knowledgeable, young Anunaki", who will "bring the egg to the desired state." Legend has it that at first everything did not go as smoothly as the experimenters would like. Many freaks were born, but in the end, the Anunaki succeeded. A successful egg was placed in the womb of a "goddess" who agreed to bear it. So, after a long pregnancy and caesarean section, the first person was born. But not one, but many workers in the mines were required. And then, with the help of cloning, a woman was created. Unfortunately, this process is not reflected in any way in the clay tablets, so we can only guess how they did it. The last discovery of Wesley Brown "about the mitochondrial Eve, which is the same for all people of the Earth," indirectly confirmed this legend. When people, having changed more than one or two generations, “became beautiful”, the Anunaki began to “marry” earthly women, from whom they even had viable, healthy offspring.
Unfortunately, having given us their appearance and the opportunity for self-development, the Anunaki did not endow us with their longevity.
Apparently, the Sumerian civilization is not only the most ancient, but also the most mysterious on our planet, and the Sumerians themselves are our distant great-great-great-parents.
