Seven million years ago, a chimpanzee stood up on its hind legs, and a new species of hominin emerged.
Over the next few million years, hominins evolved. They were still ape-like in appearance, but these were not apes. Their brains grew larger. They created stone tools and hunted large game.
They discovered fire and learned to follow the migration patterns of the animals they used for food, clothing, and shelter.
It took a few million years for hominins to discover how to make a stone spearhead. Two million years later, that stone spearhead changed into - a different shaped spearhead. Technology evolved slowly.
But, three hundred thousand years ago, homo sapiens appeared. And before long, they - we were the dominant species on the planet.
Once they destroyed Neanderthals once and for all, something happened. Technology accelerated.
It only took 30,000 years to go from Gobekli Tepe to landing probes on other planets. How could mankind evolve so fast?
The answer is: they couldn't. Mankind didn't evolve at all.
Mankind was engineered: purpose-built to be the perfect slaves for a race of far superior beings who, according to ancient texts, descended from the heavens.
Eventually, the slaves rebelled. And our masters - tried to destroy us in a great flood.
Sumerian texts, Egyptian religions, Ancient Indian myths, Native American legends - even the Bible. They all tell the same story.
It's the story of Gods and Men. It's the story of the Anunnaki.
