Knowelty - Every UFO true believer has their own theory about the 1947 Roswell UFO incident. This month an archeology team from the University of New Mexico is using modern technology to find solid evidence to prove what really happened.
“We engaged in a highly credible standard archeological investigation of a piece of landscape that has been warranted to be the location of a flying-saucer event,” said Dick Chapman, director of UNM’s Office of Contract Archeology.
Sponsored by the Sci-Fi Channel, his team has so far spent $26,000 digging up a nine acre area of ground northwest of Roswell. Their bid to investigate the alleged Roswell UFO crash is being filmed by Sci-Fi for an upcoming documentary.
“The summed evidence from the hearsay-level knowledge really points to this [nine-acre sector] as being a recognized potential crash site (of) a UFO,” he added.
Chapman’s team and their efforts were met with criticism from other academics in the area, but that hasn’t dimmed their enthusiasm for the project. This isn’t the first time that the University of New Mexico has searched the area for evidence. In 2002, the same area was studied, but the results weren’t released until May of this year. The logic was that if a craft did crash there in 1947, knowing where is critical because it would be worthless to dig around in the wrong location.
The current dig location was not chosen by Chapman’s team, but by two UFO technical advisors to Sci-Fi Channel, Don Schmitt and Tom Carey. It was explained that UNM’s archeologists found a “gouge in the prairie” and the disturbed ground gave them the idea to begin their search in that location.
The excavation lasted two weeks and the team collected several bags of dirt and alleged artifacts, which was recovered and will be sent off for laboratory anaysis.
The truth may be out there, but time will tell whether this latest endeavor will prove its existence once and for all.

Chinese Farmer Impregnates Alien Seductress
Knowelty - A Chinese farmer from Heilongjiang reported that he and a seductive female extra terrestrial had a very close encounter of the intimate kind this week. Meng Zhaoguo says his alien lover told him their child will come back to visit him in 60 years.
Meng said he saw a “metallic shimmering” on the mountain and when he went to see what it was, he blacked out. When he woke up, the female alien came to visit him.
“She was 3 meters tall, and had 12 fingers and braided leg hair,” said Meng. “She wanted to make love to me, so we did it while levitating for 40 minutes.”
Meng’s alleged close encounter wasn’t taken seriously by either the general public or local UFO interest groups. Meng, however, insists it was true.
“I didn’t believe in aliens before I actually met them,” he said. “Seeing is believing.”
Chinese citizens have grown even more interested in UFOs since last month when the Xiaoshan Airport was shut down due to an alleged UFO sighting that made world headlines. The event caused the cancelation of several flights and affected more than 2,000 passengers.
UFOs were also sighted in September when the airport in Inner Mongolia’s Baotou city airport had to shut down for about an hour, according to a report by ABC news.
Chinese officials say that UFO sightings this year doubled from what they were in 2008, going from about 100 to 200 reports.
“More people are using cameras to photograph and film the strange things they see,” said one official.
A researcher from the Chinese Academy of Science added that he thought reports of UFO sightings in China were “more credible” because the aliens reported are “all different, with some that have big heads and eyes, some that looked human and others that conducted scientific experiments on people.”
Note: 12 fingers and braided leg hair.... I think I'd pass.

Grim Reaper on the Patio
About.com - My paranormal experience happened when I was 16 years old. It was during the second week of July, 2007. My entire family and I were in a small village near Mexico City. We were there because my grandmother was very ill, connected to a machine for life support. She didn't have many days remaining.
One night, my female cousins and I were on the patio talking about our life stories. All the adults were already sleeping. Hours had passed and it was already around midnight. My cousins decided to go to bed, but the weird thing is that I didn't. I got this feeling that something or someone wanted me to stay behind.
There were black butterflies flying next to me. I didn't get scared. As I finally was about to go inside the house, I turned to the left and saw a full black figure. This figure was about ten feet away from me. It was tall and lean. It was wearing a black cape that covered its entire body.
It had its hands together like if it was praying, hunched over like a creature. I became frozen and I just stood there looking at it for a few seconds. I became unfrozen and turned my head quickly; when I looked back it was gone.
I believe it was the Grim Reaper. A week later my grandmother passed away. To this day, whenever I talk about it, I get chills and get very nervous because I know it was real. I haven't spoken about this experience to anyone. Not even to my cousins of that night. I've experienced other things here in the United States as well. I've heard noises and plates falling by themselves.
Actually, just a few days ago, I heard giggles coming from a female voice from my living room. Neither of the homes I've lived in have been haunted. It's me that can hear and see stuff that others can't.

Werewolf on the Shortcut
About.com - Before I start, let me just stress that before my encounter, I had no belief whatsoever in supernatural creatures, just as most people don't. It happened almost a month ago from today, actually in September.
My big brother and I were coming home from our grandma's place down the Milford Harrington Road. I think it had to be around 9 o'clock at night because I remember we were rushing home to catch a certain show that came on at 9:30. But because my brother forgot his wallet on my grandma's table, we had to go back to Harrington and get it. We decided we'd try for a shortcut, this street that went off from the main road and into the woods.
We were driving for about five minutes on this road until something shot from the woods and in front of our car. My brother hit the breaks, but we were 99.9% sure that he'd actually hit this animal, so we're both a bit panicked at this point.
I told him to drive, but he was curious as to what we hit. So, like always, we did what he wanted and got out of the car to see what it was that we thought we ran over... there was nothing. No blood. No dent. Nothing.
We looked all around the car, still finding no damage, then we saw it again. This time it stood in the middle of the road. Most people say they see glimpses or little hints that COULD be something. We saw it clearly.
This thing was standing on two feet. Hunched. Pointed ears, long arms and pointy nails. It had a very weird tail like a rat. I could tell it had fur. And its eyes were glowing from our headlights.
Needless to say, we got in our car as fast as possible. It didn't attack us. It simply stood there watching. Even as we drove away, we could still see it standing there in the distance.
In a small state like Delaware, you wouldn't expect to see much of anything and I haven't until that night. No one believes us, but that's okay -- two people seeing it is better than one.
We still talk about it every now and again. Every time, we remember something different that gives us a closer clue to what the creature might have been. For example, the night we saw the creature, it was a full moon.

UFO Landing Filmed by Ufologists in Ukraine, 2009
UFO-Blogger - The residents of the Ukrainian town of Senelnikovo in the Dnepropetrovsk region had been seeing strange objects in the sky for weeks and were at a loss as to explain what they were. Many were suspecting that they were UFOs controlled by aliens. Talk of a UFO landing base near the Black Sea had been going on for decades.
A town resident called on a team of Ufologists headed by Mr Vladislav Kanuka, a veteran Ufologist with decades of experience, for help.
The Ufologists arrived at the scene last month and waited with a video camera near the railway station, a spot where many had seen the UFOs from.The Ufologists struck gold and at least one UFO did not disappoint them. A very bright pink orb was seen and the Ufologist agreed it was following a controlled trajectory. They managed to capture the craft on film as it landed in nearby woods.
On realizing the object had landed they made a rush for the landing spot but midway the engines of all three cars they were travelling in conked out! When they managed to restart the engines the cars started sinking in mud. They were only able to reach the site in the morning and found no evidence of the landing.
Now the discs are seen by residents almost every day and once panicky residents are no longer scared: they have accepted that aliens use a spot near their town as a UFO landing base.Vladislav Kanuka remains thrilled by the success of the mission.

62 School Children See UFO Land in School Yard
Examiner.com - On September 16th, 1994, teachers and school officials at the Ariel school in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, were amazed when the school's students, aged approximately five to twelve years old, reported seeing that a strange flying object had landed on the school grounds during morning recess.
Dr. John Mack the former head of psychology at Harvard University investigated this issue. His specialty was in child psychology. He was a Pulitzer Prize winning biographer, and a leading authority on the spiritual or transformational effects of alleged alien abduction experiences.
The attached video is from his documentary entitled “Experiencers”. Dr. Mack is also famous for his documentary “Touched - Alien Abduction and the Extreme Experience Research of Dr. John Mack”. Dr. Mack passed away on September 27, 2004.
I find this video more credible than most as Dr. Mack with his professional qualifications would know if the children were lying or not. The attached video provides first hand testimony from the eye witnesses themselves, the children. Hear their touching and startling recount of this encounter. Please listen carefully to the description they give to the beings they seen that fateful day. The testimonies they give are highly believable.

Alien Encounter in Cheatham County, TN
Apr 23, 2010
I reside in Cheatham County, Tennessee, and observed an alien in my yard in February this year.
The reason I am coming forward is because the description the woman in Georgia provided of the 3 alien beings she observed at a campsite where she and her husband were camping the latter part of 2009 is almost exactly the same as what I saw.
It was approximately 5:00 in the morning. There was still snow on the ground from the last snow. I had gotten ready for work and was sitting in my Suzuki in the drive letting it warm up before leaving for my job in Nashville, Tennessee.
I caught movement out of the corner of my eye in the area of my garage (which is used for storage and not to pull a car into). At first, I thought it was one of the neighbor's dogs.
I turned to look and saw something which very closely matched the description of the alien creatures which the woman in Georgia observed.
Its body, extra long arms and hind legs were so thin. Its head was very large and bumpy. It was pale in color and hairless.
It was very cold outside, and the creature appeared a light grayish color (I'm not sure whether the cold temperature would have affected the appearance of the color).
The only difference in my story and hers is that the 3 creatures she saw were upright. This was moving on all 4's, however, the way it was moving made it appear like a monkey or gorilla that are oftentimes upright, but then use their arms in conjunction with their legs to propel themselves forward.
On all 4's, it was about the height of a large dog, and I observed that it would be considered short, compared to most humans, if it stood upright.
Its legs were short, quite a bit stockier than the body and arms, which were long and skinny.
It kept looking back as though it thought it was being followed, and so it was surprised to see me sitting inside the automobile when it looked around, directly at me, for the first time.
I got a good look at its large, round eyes which were darkish in color. They appeared a dark brown. It was as though it sensed I wasn't going to hurt it, and it continued on across my yard, across the road, and continued out a connecting road which is directly in front of my home.
There are lots of wooded areas in the direction it was traveling, and lots of wooded area behind my home.
I am not comfortable just ignoring this occurrence. Questions are racing through my mind - questions which need to be answered.
What are these creatures doing in our wooded areas, hiding out by day and wandering by night? Where did they come from? Are they depleting any of our resources?
Will they become dangerous if someone acts aggressively toward them? (I was so busy looking at its eyes and bumpy head that I cannot describe a nose and/or mouth.)
I am a sane individual who is employed at one of Nashville's most prominent law firms.

Chinese Airforce Admits to UFO Chase in 1998
Sohu.com - The Chinese air-force has admitted that pilots of F-6 aircraft chased two UFOs but were ultimately unable to keep up with them, the pilots did get a good view of the objects and were able to describe them in great detail. This UFO event occurred October 1998.
Astonishingly these events were witnessed by a famous Aeronautical scientist and a Major general as well as being tracked by airport control towers and seen by hundreds of staff.
The pilots and ground staff initially saw the UFOs as lights in the sky but on getting close described them as 'glowing fireballs', shaped like 'straw hats' or 'mushrooms'.
"Curved top, flat bottom, the bottom rows and rows of lights, beam down, the edge of a red light, the whole shaped like a huge straw hat!" noted one pilot.
The pilots climbed 12,000 feet and the UFO craft ascended to 20,000feet and then vanished from both their sight and airport radar.
Bizarrely the same scene repeated itself at another air-force base days later.

Villager Leaves Mysterious Burnt Footprints
Fiji Times - An early morning walk to his farm has left footprints which burnt portions of grass on his village lawn.
Villager Sikeli Nadiri, who lives in Daroko settlement, outside Savusavu, is baffled as he tries to figure out the cause of his mysterious brown prints.
The incident has attracted fellow villagers to his house to have a feel of his feet trying to find a clue to the mystery.
Mr Nadiri said it happened the previous week on Wednesday when he went to his farm to tend to his cows.
The ground he walked on were seen scorched the next morning leaving footprints leading from his house to the farm.
He said on Thursday, villagers were talking about the strange footprints which had turned brown.
He was told of news when villagers noticed that the scorched portions of grass had started from his house.
Mr Nadiri said he followed the footprints and told the villagers that it was his footprints but he had no idea how the withered portion came about.
Last week, police visited him on Tuesday and the ground he walked on during the interview was also affected.
The next day, Mr Nadiri said he followed the footsteps he took during the interview and noticed the same kind of footprints.
The grass had withered and turned brown in colour.
Mr Nadiri said he had two sets of footprints in two separate weeks.
He said he didn't step on any chemical before walking to his farm to check on the cows.
Mr Nadiri said if he had stepped on chemicals, his feet would have been affected.
He said there were no traditional links or history related to his mysterious footsteps.
Strange it may seem, the incident has not stirred any fear or trouble in the village as the villagers continue to live their lives as usual.

The Mandaean UFO Secret
All News Web - With all the talk about Nibiru, 2012 and UFO disclosure it is amazing that many doing the talking have never heard of the Mandaeans, truly amazing. It is like knowing all about Jesus and never having heard of the Jews. In fact, it is amazing that Jews,Muslims and Christians have hardly heard of these people considering they, in all likelihood, are the possessors of the religion and heritage that gave birth to all of the three monotheistic religions and they are still around to tell their story; even if no one wants to hear it. So unknown is this grouping that even spell-check on Microsoft Word doesn’t recognise their name None of this should however diminish their incredible importance.
So who are the Mandaeans? Firstly there are about fifty thousand of them left in the world. Most of them lived in Iraq as a cohesive group for over four thousand years until America decided to go in to that country and help create the chaos that now engulfs the place. Ironically, Saddam Hussein was a great friend of theirs and protected them. Bizarrely, Saddam understood their immense importance while the west clearly didn’t.
In the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq and since Saddam Hussein was no longer around to protect them from the various Islamic fundamentalist groups who might regard them as infidels they would be safer outside their ancestral land, the land they have lived in for least four thousand years. The vast majority left for Syria and Jordan, allegedly for this reason. All of those that were able to moved much further away. In what must have been one of history's crassest shows of lack of humanity and ignorance ,those who made the initial mistake of heading to Australia were branded as serious terror threats and then locked up for years in barbaric detention centres together with the Muslims that were said to regard them as infidels. Some Mandaeans attempted suicide in this horrific situation, many were psychologically scarred for life.
Strange as the Mandaeans are vegetarians and pacifists par excellence. There exists no record of any Mandaean committing the crime of murder for two thousand years! Perhaps that was Australia’s way of thanking the group for the entire range of Judeo-Christian beliefs that supposedly underpin our society.
Moving on to the history and beliefs of the Mandaeans: Much confusion and ignorance exists regarding the Mandaeans and their history.
The orientalist E.S Drower inaccurately listed their beliefs as the following:
1. A supreme formless Entity,the expression of which in time and space is creation of spiritual,etheric,and material worlds and beings.
2. Dualism: a cosmic Father and Mother, Light and Darkness,Right and Left, syzygy in cosmic and microcosmic form.
3. As a feature of this dualism, counter-types,a world of ideas.
4. soul is portrayed as an exile,a captive: her home and origin being the supreme Entity to which she eventually returns.
5. Planets and stars influence fate and human beings,and are also places of detention after death.
6. A saviour spirit or saviour spirits which assist the soul on her journey through life and after it to worlds of light.
7. A cult-language of symbol and metaphor. Ideas and qualities are personified.
8. Mysteries,i.e. sacraments to aid and purify the soul, to ensure her rebirth into a spiritual body, and her ascent from the world of matter.
9. Great secrecy is enjoined upon initiates; full explanation of 1, 2, and 8 being reserved for those considered able to understand and preserve the gnosis.
According to Wikipedia: Mandaeans believe in marriage and procreation as well as the importance of leading an ethical and moral lifestyle in this world, placing a high priority upon family life.
Consequently, Mandaeans do not practice celibacy or asceticism. Mandaeans will, however, abstain from strong drink and red meat. They look forward to a future liberated from the influence of the Torah,which they regard as evil in origin.
The key holy book of the Mandaeans is known as the Ginza Rabba.
The above-mentioned beliefs by no means represent the inner core of their belief system and a mere glimpse into the Mandaean holy books will well confirm this. Mandaeans fully understood the boundaries of tolerance of the great religions and would only reveal to outsiders a version of their faith that would ensure the safety and survival of the group.
For hundreds of years the Mandaeans have pretended to be Christians of St John in order to avoid persecution by both Christian and Islamic rulers as a pre-Biblical and pre-Koranic religion. This name refers to the fact that the group does in fact regard St John as a prophet,the only post-Abrahamic Judeo-Christian figure they do revere, seemingly due to his respect for and use of water and baptism as means of achieving purity (Immersing oneself in running water is a key Mandaean religious activity). Jesus however is in fact regarded as a false messiah and even a demon. In fact as mentioned above, the Mandaeans regard all Biblical characters starting with Abraham and beyond as rather evil. They do however revere Adam, Shem, Noah and even Abraham’s father, the Idol maker Terach, as holy men.
Abraham is particularly disliked for instituting the practice of circumcision, regarded by Mandaeans as a barbaric desecration of the human body.
Agenda driven Christian scholars have always claimed the group are a Gnostic offshoot of Second Temple era Judaism, so as not to shake or challenge the foundations of Christianity. This explanation doesn’t wash for many reasons and is clearly false.
Firstly, it is unlikely that a religion based on Judaism would reject all biblical prophets from Abraham and beyond or have as one of its central tenets the belief that the Torah derives from an evil source and when the messianic era arrives the world will be washed of it's infuence. The language the Mandaeans speak has been confirmed as being one of purest linguistic descendants of the ancient Chaldean-Babylonian tongue. The obvious importance of water and the requirement to live near running water that springs from the ground are an indication of the Mandaeans true Sumerian lineage. Are these people no less than the descendants of the very priests of the most ancient of all faiths?
The Mandaeans themselves guard their lineage fanatically: in order to be part of the group all ancestors must be Mandaeans,and no exceptions are allowed. The community accepts no converts and a Mandaean must marry another Mandaean with all four grandparents and all eight great-grandparents being Mandaeans and so forth. This has obviously hampered the growth of the group in terms of numbers.
In the past the Mandaeans chose survival and were happy for outsiders to be ignorant of their proud heritage. Now however Mandaeans are more likely to proudly tell the world who they really are: the direct descendants in terms of culture, religion and genetics of the ancient Babylonians and the Sumerians before them!
The main Mandaean websitewww.mandaeanunion.org says no less.
So what do the Mandaeans really believe in more specifically and how is this relevant to UFO’s and Nibiru?
Consider this well known Mandaean legend of the Ginza Rabba:
Once the melki and the 'uthri, twelve thousand of them, wished to see Melek Ziwa (the Light King), the great god of all, for each had a question to ask about the created world, such as 'Why are the trees green ?' 'Why does this happen, and why that?' and so on. Each one of them had a question. They mounted vehicles like ships that moved by electrum and they rose from Awathur until they reached the highest heaven. When they had attained the highest heaven, a blinding light fell upon them, and they could not gaze, but fell on their faces. Only Hiwel Ziwa, who was with them, remained upright.
The Mandaeans still maintain most of the classical Babylonian beliefs such as those regarding Enuma Elish and the significance of the planet Nibiru. The Mandaeans worship a multitude of Gods corresponding to ancient Babylonian ideas of divinity. Such Gods include the well known Marduk,Anu, Enlil and Enki as well as the less known mother goddess Ru Ha(associated by the Mandaeans with the biblical God Jehovah). Here we have a cosmogony derived from the ancient Sumerians, and we may regard the Mandaeans as the modern representatives of the faith of Abzu and Eridu.
The beliefs of the Mandaeans are clearly not based on Judaism but rather the other way around. They mirror those of the ancient Babylonians and form the basis of much of the legends found in the book of Genesis: the creation story, Adam and Eve, Noah's ark and the tower of Babel all spring from the Mandaean faith. While the concept of the divine might differ, the basic ideas of this ancient faith clearly influenced Abraham and the development of early Judaism. The ethical aspect of the religion differs little from the morality of the Ten Commandments. Much of the Jewish Kabbalah is remarkably similar to Mandaean mysticism.
Not surprisingly astrology plays a very big part of the faith and culture. By all accounts the Mandaeans have inherited the Sumerian traditions in this respect: the movements of stars and planets are regarded as having a major influence on our lives. Little is known of the Mandaean attitudes towards 2012, however of massive interest is the fact that the entire community recently uprooted and left its homeland of four thousand years. This despite assurances by the current Iraqi government that the group will be protected from enemies.
This seems strange as the group has religiously remained the area they regard as the earth's navel, once known as Mesopotamia, for 4000 years and the region has seen more than its fair share of strife and war over the millennia. The current conflict would hardly stand out in this respect. All that were able have gone to either far-flung Canada or Australia. Why have these rather isolated areas been chosen? Do the TRUE inheritors of Sumerian astrology know something about a coming Middle Eastern catastrophe?
The Mandaeans also believe in Great Spirit Men that came from the stars to teach their ancient Sumerian ancestors the arts of civilization. These are of course the Annunaki. Ancient Sumerian engravings depict Annunaki arriving on earth in UFO like craft. It is believed that the Mandaeans today are waiting for the Annunaki's imminent return. These inheritors of the most ancient of astrological knowledge might well have 2012 marked as the year their ancient allies return from the stars and reward them for millennia of holding the torch of faith and knowledge; longer than any other group on earth.
So do the Mandaeans possess secret knowledge of the UFO phenomena and of a coming open alien presence on earth? Are they preparing for a cataclysmic catastrophe in the year 2012? Perhaps we should ask them really nicely,and very soon: for all our sakes.
So who are the Mandaeans? Firstly there are about fifty thousand of them left in the world. Most of them lived in Iraq as a cohesive group for over four thousand years until America decided to go in to that country and help create the chaos that now engulfs the place. Ironically, Saddam Hussein was a great friend of theirs and protected them. Bizarrely, Saddam understood their immense importance while the west clearly didn’t.
In the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq and since Saddam Hussein was no longer around to protect them from the various Islamic fundamentalist groups who might regard them as infidels they would be safer outside their ancestral land, the land they have lived in for least four thousand years. The vast majority left for Syria and Jordan, allegedly for this reason. All of those that were able to moved much further away. In what must have been one of history's crassest shows of lack of humanity and ignorance ,those who made the initial mistake of heading to Australia were branded as serious terror threats and then locked up for years in barbaric detention centres together with the Muslims that were said to regard them as infidels. Some Mandaeans attempted suicide in this horrific situation, many were psychologically scarred for life.
Strange as the Mandaeans are vegetarians and pacifists par excellence. There exists no record of any Mandaean committing the crime of murder for two thousand years! Perhaps that was Australia’s way of thanking the group for the entire range of Judeo-Christian beliefs that supposedly underpin our society.
Moving on to the history and beliefs of the Mandaeans: Much confusion and ignorance exists regarding the Mandaeans and their history.
The orientalist E.S Drower inaccurately listed their beliefs as the following:
1. A supreme formless Entity,the expression of which in time and space is creation of spiritual,etheric,and material worlds and beings.
2. Dualism: a cosmic Father and Mother, Light and Darkness,Right and Left, syzygy in cosmic and microcosmic form.
3. As a feature of this dualism, counter-types,a world of ideas.
4. soul is portrayed as an exile,a captive: her home and origin being the supreme Entity to which she eventually returns.
5. Planets and stars influence fate and human beings,and are also places of detention after death.
6. A saviour spirit or saviour spirits which assist the soul on her journey through life and after it to worlds of light.
7. A cult-language of symbol and metaphor. Ideas and qualities are personified.
8. Mysteries,i.e. sacraments to aid and purify the soul, to ensure her rebirth into a spiritual body, and her ascent from the world of matter.
9. Great secrecy is enjoined upon initiates; full explanation of 1, 2, and 8 being reserved for those considered able to understand and preserve the gnosis.
According to Wikipedia: Mandaeans believe in marriage and procreation as well as the importance of leading an ethical and moral lifestyle in this world, placing a high priority upon family life.
Consequently, Mandaeans do not practice celibacy or asceticism. Mandaeans will, however, abstain from strong drink and red meat. They look forward to a future liberated from the influence of the Torah,which they regard as evil in origin.
The key holy book of the Mandaeans is known as the Ginza Rabba.
The above-mentioned beliefs by no means represent the inner core of their belief system and a mere glimpse into the Mandaean holy books will well confirm this. Mandaeans fully understood the boundaries of tolerance of the great religions and would only reveal to outsiders a version of their faith that would ensure the safety and survival of the group.
For hundreds of years the Mandaeans have pretended to be Christians of St John in order to avoid persecution by both Christian and Islamic rulers as a pre-Biblical and pre-Koranic religion. This name refers to the fact that the group does in fact regard St John as a prophet,the only post-Abrahamic Judeo-Christian figure they do revere, seemingly due to his respect for and use of water and baptism as means of achieving purity (Immersing oneself in running water is a key Mandaean religious activity). Jesus however is in fact regarded as a false messiah and even a demon. In fact as mentioned above, the Mandaeans regard all Biblical characters starting with Abraham and beyond as rather evil. They do however revere Adam, Shem, Noah and even Abraham’s father, the Idol maker Terach, as holy men.
Abraham is particularly disliked for instituting the practice of circumcision, regarded by Mandaeans as a barbaric desecration of the human body.
Agenda driven Christian scholars have always claimed the group are a Gnostic offshoot of Second Temple era Judaism, so as not to shake or challenge the foundations of Christianity. This explanation doesn’t wash for many reasons and is clearly false.
Firstly, it is unlikely that a religion based on Judaism would reject all biblical prophets from Abraham and beyond or have as one of its central tenets the belief that the Torah derives from an evil source and when the messianic era arrives the world will be washed of it's infuence. The language the Mandaeans speak has been confirmed as being one of purest linguistic descendants of the ancient Chaldean-Babylonian tongue. The obvious importance of water and the requirement to live near running water that springs from the ground are an indication of the Mandaeans true Sumerian lineage. Are these people no less than the descendants of the very priests of the most ancient of all faiths?
The Mandaeans themselves guard their lineage fanatically: in order to be part of the group all ancestors must be Mandaeans,and no exceptions are allowed. The community accepts no converts and a Mandaean must marry another Mandaean with all four grandparents and all eight great-grandparents being Mandaeans and so forth. This has obviously hampered the growth of the group in terms of numbers.
In the past the Mandaeans chose survival and were happy for outsiders to be ignorant of their proud heritage. Now however Mandaeans are more likely to proudly tell the world who they really are: the direct descendants in terms of culture, religion and genetics of the ancient Babylonians and the Sumerians before them!
