Got a whole hot-tub full of Kool-Aid /s
These are my true beliefs. I don't expect people to accept them, but, hopefully, this post will age well and we'll see peaceful disclosure in the next few months.
We've already lost enough to war, especially nuclear war. The people who want to do it again are far crazier than I am, and that's some feat, because the last few years have made me have to accept that our entire history/structure as a species was objective nonsense.
But, it's all connected. I truly hope the peaceful Anunnaki can bring about a kind, sensible result. The war in the Middle East has weighed heavily on many, and is just a disgusting act of repeating past sins over and over, because people with power refuse to admit they're wrong, and that they should NOT be God.
We all come from the same Light, it's up to Advanced Races to reach their hand down, and help pull up life, not stomp it down into slavery. I need to be kinder to animals, gonna start feeding wildlife food that's safe/good for them, but not enough to mess up their natural foraging.

I wanted to debunk some of the factual inaccuracies in your post at first but alas, I don't think it would contribute much to this thread.
I'm not here to talk down someone's beliefs. Those whose religion / beliefs lead to them doing good provide more for society than those who know all the scientific facts but use them in unethical ways.
When you start realizing that he's removing the terminology he uses from their anthropological/historical context and instead treating them allegorically... more power to you @CoC: Color of Clowns
At least you're not a nihilist like my fave mod over there

Spirituality needs to be held to a rigorous scientific standard, if you want to challenge anything in the post, feel free to.
Modern science/post modernism is ridiculous in its desire to never be challenged, while still pretending it cares for the scientific process.
My greatest frustration with modern religion is how it attacks science, and my greatest frustration with modern science is how science attacks spirituality.
The reason I respect the teachings of Ancient Civilizations over our own in a lot of cases, is A: We've been misled about those civilizations in the first place, B: We often ignore the allegory in these ideologies is used to bridge science and spirituality, our ancestors wanted to use science to explain why life existed, C: It is arrogant to assume you are greater than those that came before.
What I respect about Oda is he approaches history from the concept of, "These people were trying to be honest, but were flawed."
So much of history automatically assumes are ancestors were completely incorrect/foolish, which is ridiculous when you consider their archeological achievements compared to ours. The pyramids themselves are proof are civilization is lesser, even without getting into ancient advanced technology.
Like, look at this:
How intelligent do you have to be to even design something this scientifically impressive, that still harmonizes with nature by imitating a bird call?
I guess this is why I always loved Skypiea/Shandoria, the mix of nature/technology, of spirituality/science, is so fascinating to me.
It's arrogant and racist to assume we have surpassed those that came before us, whether they were human, or others, when so much evidence proves we're just sucking off our own egos/the egos of those who rewrote history for their own purposes.
Wyper is one of the underrated characters in the series, I love that dude so much.
