Topic: Apkallu

The use of psychedelics, including DMT and mushrooms, is identified as a recurring method for contacting discarnate entities known in Sumer as the Apkallu. Dr. Lynn builds upon John Allegro’s work in "The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross," providing evidence that Sumerians used substances in ritualistic ways to gain innovative knowledge. This "technocratic" magic allowed elites to maintain power by gatekeeping access to these altered states.

Distinguishing between the Anunnaki and the Apkallu is essential, as the latter are described as semi-biological sages originating from the Pleiades. Dr. Lynn proposes that these "Shining Ones" were not necessarily extraterrestrial but survivors of a pre-flood advanced society who displaced hunter-gatherers in Mesopotamia. The term "worship" in this context originally meant "to work for," suggesting a system of agricultural enslavement.

Mesopotamian and Indian traditions describe "Seven Sages" (Apkallu or Saptarshis) who emerged from the water or stars to bring the laws of civilization to humanity. Unlike the "Ant People," these beings are often depicted as hybrid fish-men associated with the "Apsu" or underground freshwater aquifers. They are credited with providing all foundational knowledge in astronomy, mathematics, and music.

DNA testing of the elongated Paracas skulls from Peru reportedly shows genetic markers originating from the Caucasus Mountains and the Lake Van region of Armenia. This evidence is used to link South American civilizations to the Mesopotamian "Apkallu" sages. The host and guest discuss how these advanced groups attempted to mentor indigenous populations, comparing the relationship to parents leaving keys with children. They conclude that these civilizations eventually corrupted the "ascended teachings" and fell into decline after the sages departed.
