Dr. Heather Lynn, historian and author of occult and archaeological history, explores Zecharia Sitchin’s Zionist connections and the Anunnaki mythos. She examines archaeology as political espionage, Ancient Aliens and UFO disclosure as managed narratives, and how dehumanization, transhumanism, AI, and occult beliefs collide in modern culture. She also recounts a near-cooptation of her own research network.
