No.
We're alone. There are no such things as the anunaki or what ever.
Sorry. People need to grow out of fairy tales not embrace them.

You have zero idea what you are talking about and the problem is you are too inept to understand that.
The legends of super weapons transcend all cultures even into ancient Cambodia. There are many tales of actual devastating weaponry being used throughout ancient history. Sumeria is but one possible example to use.
Ignoramus.
That is rather harsh to say the least, many people look up to Phage, its easy to see why.

Sure. I'm not sure how to get a picture of something that didn't happen or doesn't exist.
Maybe we can get Santa to bring us a magic camera?

I think you're wrong. I think our species used to be far more advanced than we are now and somehow at some point in time, we lost it all and had to start from scratch.
That makes for a nice story, but there aren't really any hard facts that indicate this.
We have a very good archeological record of humans going back 50 thousand years, with some even going back more than 100 thousand years, and none of that record indicates that civilization was once more advanced.
Granted, archaeologists do find that ancient humans were very clever problem-solvers, and came up with some ingenious technological solutions to problems, but that is not at all surprising because ancient humans were still humans just like us.
They may not have had our technological knowledge we have today, but they were still just as intelligent as us -- and that's because they are us and we are them.
The problem is that the people who taught you your history are proven liars....you personally may spend your life defending what you were taught....it matters not because by proxy everything in your toolbox is tainted and YOU must find a way to remediate your world view.Your teachers cheated....doesnt matter how doesnt matter why doesnt matter when.
There is an overabundance of evidence currently not considered by people whose teachers lied to them showing us that we are constantly rinse and repeating on a global scale in terms of technology and culture.

The Ruins of Harappa: The Mahabharata clearly describes a catastrophic blast that rocked the continent.
"A single projectile charged with all the power in the Universe…An incandescent column of smoke and flame as bright as 10,000 suns, rose in all its splendor…it was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes an entire race.
The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. Their hair and nails fell out, pottery broke without any apparent cause, and the birds turned white. After a few hours, all foodstuffs were infected. To escape from this fire, the soldiers threw themselves into the river."

Sitchin did not really have any idea what he was talking about. Do you have any reason to believe him?
Phage, as much as I do appreciate your thoughts and your sensibilities...you omitted the words "In my opinion" at the beginning of your reply.

Could that description also apply to a meteor impact (or air burst/partial impact) event, maybe with ash ejecta?

Good question, I guess it could apply to a lot of things related to war, religion or natural disasters but since I'm not a scholar of ancient Indian literature I'm not familiar with the concepts and metaphors we find in those passages.
An "iron bolt" is mentioned, yes, and lots of destruction as well, but there's definitely not sufficient detail IMO to make the case for the nuclear fallout claim that we find on so many sites without proper source indication.
The bridge’s unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the a primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge’s age is also almost equivalent.
This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the mysterious legend called Ramayana, which was supposed to have taken place in treta yuga (more than 1,700,000 years ago). In this epic, there is a mentioning about a bridge, which was built between Rameshwaram (India) and Srilankan coast under the supervision of a dynamic and invincible figure called Rama who is supposed to be the incarnation of the supreme.

Please show me the evidence that indicates that our current civilization did not grow slowly over the past 100,000 years -- especially over the past 50,000 years since the advent of agriculture and permanent settlement.
You make it sound as if there is hard evidence that there were civilization MORE advanced that ours 50K years ago. If that is the case, please show me.
...and I'm not talking about an ancient battery in clay pots or an ancient mechanical astronomical calendar/computer or super-smooth and precise stone work. I know those sorts of things existed, but they existed within the generally less technologically advanced civilizations of the past.
Sure (and as I said above) there were clever people back then who had the intelligence to create such things -- because, as I mentioned, they were humans jut like us and had human brains just like us, so they were equally intelligent as us and had the same capacity for being clever. However, these clever humans lived in a civilization that was generally far less technologically advanced as us.
That is to say, they did not have the same accumulation of technological knowledge that we have today. That doesn't mean they were too dumb to figure things out, but they didn't have the wealth of accumulated knowledge to help them figure things out.

Forgive my 1960's education, but isn't carbon dating what science uses to say how old things are historically?
I would also suggest that the techtonic rate of movement may also not be constant.
Therefore, the dating of ages is open for interpreting . . .

India continues to fascinate me the more I read into its mythology and legends. Here is another possible example of lost technology recorded in history:
Ancient bridge in the Palk Strait, between India and Sri Lanka
The bridge’s unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the a primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge’s age is also almost equivalent.

Here is a link to the video: I have it set to play where it starts to explain the bridge creation process.
