NO one is an extinct species identified by fossil bones
the other is the figment of a teenage imagination in the 1820s
Maybe... I have also read a hypothesis that Neanderthals[Homo neanderthalensis] were remembered in Greece as fauns or satyrs. I suppose it is not impossible that some kind of oral history of them passed down through the Cro-Magnon (Homo sapiens) generations.
Some scientists classify Neanderthals as a subspecies of Homo sapiens, calling them Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. Anyway, the two species [or subspecies] apparently bred together to some extent, as Neanderthal DNA is present in modern humans.
Whilst the term “gods” is full of awkward connotations for us, the Sumerians did not suffer from such problems, and referred to them as the AN.UNNA.KI, literally meaning “Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came”.’” They also described them pictographically as DIN.GIR – which shows an aerodynamically-shaped GIR inside a shaft-like underground chamber. A picture of a rocket-propelled spaceship, with a landing craft docked into it perfectly - just as the lunar module was docked with Apollo 11.”
From the archaeological discoveries, artifacts, and recovered records archaeologists and linguists have for two hundred years, found the Anunnaki (Sumerian: “those who came down from the heavens”; Old testament Hebrew, Anakeim, Nefilim, Elohim; Egyptian: Neter), an advanced civilization landed in the Persian gulf area around 432,000 years ago, colonized the planet, with the purpose of obtaining large quantities of gold. Some 250,000 years ago, the recovered documents tell us, the Anunnaki directorate decided to create a creature as slaves. They changed the genes of Homo Erectus and produced us, Homo Sapiens, a genetically bicameral species, for their purposes as slaves.
Around 6000 years ago they began gradually, to bring humans to independence. Sumer, a human civilization, amazing in its sudden, mature, and highly advanced character was set up under their tutelage in Mesopotamia.
The recorded historical documentation for the existence and deeds of the Anunnaki has become gradually available to us only since the early 1800’s. The excavation of the ancient sites of Mesopotamia brought to light the amazingly advanced civilization of Sumer and, with it, thousands of clay tablets containing not only mundane records of commerce, marriages, military actions and advanced astronomical calculation systems but of the history of the Anunnaki themselves. It is clear from those records that the Sumerians knew these aliens to be real flesh and blood. The library of the ruler, Ashurbanipal, at Nineveh was discovered to have burnt down and the clay tablets held there were fired, preserving them for our reading. One of the most impressive finds, in very recent time, has been a sealed, nine foot by six foot room in Sippar holding, neatly arranged on shelves, a set of some 400 elaborate clay tablets containing an unbroken record of the history of those ancient times, a sort of time capsule. The evidence is so overwhelming and robust that, if it weren’t for those with power enough to suppress, it would have been accepted and our world view changed a century ago or, perhaps, sooner.
Am I the only person who has wondered this. This would also explain the behaviors of those with more of the Neaderthal blood.... Historically speaking
