Since Theo and I decided to do our Ancient History Show, I have gone down some rabbit holes searching for how these awesome legends and mythology started. I was not surprised to find there is a lot of research and evidence showing in many ancient civilizations that our Gods and Goddesses come from different planets, galaxies and universes. These extraterrestrials come to our planet because of its awesome resources. These beings create or recreate human kind to assist them with their searches. Some of these beings stayed here on Earth to create their own dynasties and sharing with us knowledge and their DNA to assist human kind. I am excited to continue to research and share with you what I find! I hope you enjoy reading my notes and watching the videos as much as I love creating them!
