Dannion Brinkley shares insights from his near-death experiences before Zecharia Sitchin discusses explosive findings from the human genome project. Sitchin reveals that scientists have discovered 223 genes in human DNA that cannot be accounted for through evolutionary progression from bacteria to higher organisms. Newsweek's science editor referred to these as alien genes, supporting Sitchin's ancient Anunnaki theory. The conversation explores Sitchin's interpretation of Sumerian texts describing how beings from planet Nibiru genetically engineered humans by combining their DNA with hominid genes approximately 300,000 years ago. Scientists deciphered the human genome faster than expected, revealing we have only about 30,000 genes, barely twice as many as a worm and differing from chimpanzees by just one percent. Sitchin discusses the ancient texts describing how humans were created to mine gold. Brinkley's near-death experiences provide spiritual context for understanding human consciousness and our place in the cosmos.
