Anunnaki, Genesis, and the Myth That the Bible Copied Sumeria | Dr. Judd Burton
Did the Bible borrow its stories from older Sumerian texts—or is that claim built on a misunderstanding of ancient history? In this episode of The Ryan Files, Ryan Pelton is joined by biblical anthropologist and scholar Dr. Judd Burton to dismantle one of the most common modern myths: that Genesis is a theological remix of Sumerian mythology and the Anunnaki came first. Dr. Burton works directly with ancient Near Eastern material, languages, and historical context—and in this conversation, he explains why the “Ancient Aliens” narrative collapses once the original texts are actually understood. From Nibiru and Jupiter, to shared cultural memory, oral tradition, and the moral framework unique to the Hebrew worldview, this episode draws a clear line between speculative mythology and serious scholarship. We explore: Why “older text = original source” is a flawed assumption How Sumerian, Akkadian, and Hebrew traditions share memory—but not meaning The Anunnaki vs. the biblical Sons of God Translation errors that fueled modern ancient-astronaut theories Why removing Yahweh changes the entire story How ancient rebellion narratives connect to modern deception This is not a debate about belief—it’s a discussion about accuracy, history, and discernment in an age where mythology is often presented as fact.
