Idk if you've ever read into Ancient Sumer, but its history is profound. There are clay tablets from this time (4500 – 1900 BC) that predate most cultures and religions today. After the tablets were decoded thousands of years later, they found out that astronauts (The Anunnaki) from another planet (Nibiru) visited Earth and shared their DNA with us. I'm currently reading a book called Wars of the Anunnaki by Chris Hardy, I'd definitely check it out. There's a lot of history regarding Earth that has been hidden away for a very long time.
From what these tablets were saying, the Anunnaki’s home planet was in need of more gold to spread across their atmosphere to block out their sun's light because it was affecting life on the planet negatively. According to the Ancient Alien theory, the Anunnaki genetically altered primitive mankind and created a labor force which allowed them to mine gold faster. From what I'm seeing, this is something carved in stone and not just a made up story. If we look at the Bible and ancient history, it's possible that Adam and Eve were the first genetically altered humans that the Anunnaki created. Comparisons between the Hebrew Bible and the Sumerian texts reveal many similarities, not only in their stories, but in their language too. One thing that's interesting is that Adam in Hebrew stands for man. Adamu is what the Sumerians refer to as “first man,” the Anunnaki slaves.
Anyways, I'm not too huge on religion in general, but I enjoy reading almost anything that has to do with history on and off of Earth. I have seen many articles and mentionings of the Ashtar Command before on websites like In5D, but I was never too sure if it was bogus or not. I did some research on the supposed group and found some interesting information. The Ashtar Command is supposedly the "airborne division" of the Great Brother/Sisterhood of Light, under the administrative direction of Commander Ashtar and the spiritual guidance of Lord Sananda, known to Earth as Jesus, or Christ. They're an etheric group of extraterrestrials, angels, light-beings and millions of "starships" working as coordinators of the activities of the space fleet over the western hemisphere. It says under the spiritual guidance of Sananda, the ascended master who walked the Earth incarnated as Jesus the Christ, Ashtar, the commander of the galactic fleet and representative for the Universal Council of the Confederation of Planets, is currently engaged in Earth's ascension-process.
I myself have no religion, but growing up Christian makes this all very odd since I'm used to hearing these names. Seeing that Ancient Sumer predates Christ's birth by thousands of years, this kind of ties into him coming down and planting a seed. Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, all of these souls were so alike in many ways. It's almost as if they were ambassadors from other places throughout the cosmos, temporarily incarnating here to influence the collective consciousness of the planet.
What I'm picking up from this is that maybe there's a coalition of species in or outside our star system that have been influencing life on our planet for millennia. They could come down in many forms and in different areas of the world, influencing cultures and ideas to become more compassionate and conscious, as we've seen with Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and many other deities.
