Anunnaki · The Ancient Astronaut Theory in Full · What the Tablets Say · 3 Hour Sleep Story

For twelve nights this season told the oldest stories on earth the way the clay tells them. Tonight, the other story. The one most people mean when they say Anunnaki: a twelfth planet on a long slow orbit, visitors who came for gold, a worker made in a laboratory out of clay and blood, a memory the tablets are said to keep. It is told whole, at full length, the way the people who believe it tell it, with its wonder intact. And after each part, once and plainly, what the object is: what the word means in the dictionary, what the seal in Berlin actually shows, what the flood poem actually says, what the chromosome and the green tablets actually are. Nobody is scolded. Nobody is lectured. If you have the twelve nights in you, you decide; if not, you are welcome anyway, and you may simply sleep.

Nobody is scolded. Nobody is lectured. If you have the twelve nights in you, you decide; if not, you are welcome anyway, and you may simply sleep. A three hour sleep story set in a museum study room after closing, with two things on the table: a four thousand year old cylinder seal and a paperback from 1976. Both are real. Told with dignity for the man who wrote the book and for everyone who loves it. This is the thirteenth night of Season Five, standing outside the twelve, and it closes the season.
