Who are we? Where do we come from? Why do we believe in religion, and why have there been so many religions throughout human history, each with unique aspects but common threads?
I've always loved history and wanted to learn about God and understand where religion came from. I was born a Jew, married an ex-nun, and had friends of various backgrounds, both religious and nonreligious. I had learned to read Hebrew and became bar mitzvahed-but I didn't like the process. Who developed religion, really? I constantly wondered.
The truth is fascinating. Biologically, we're guided by hormones and driven by ego, shaped by the natural rites and rituals of life: childhood, parenthood, and grandparenthood. But if we look beyond these stages and examine who we truly are, we find something extraordinary, and the answer might surprise you.I never dreamed my curiosity would lead me to the story of the Anunnaki-extraterrestrial gods named after their king, Anu. They came from a planet we are still searching for: Nibiru, which circles a dark star in our solar system called Nemesis. Heated by volcanic activity, their world sustained beings much like us-sharing the same DNA-only more advanced. These beings created us to serve them, eventually giving us civilization.
However, we never quite broke free of their chains. Roughly 75 percent of humanity still believes in some form of religion, and these extraterrestrial beings-these "gods"-were the ones who invented every religion in human history
