The Sumerian Tablet That Lists the 12 Races That Know About Earth — And Ranks Them by Threat
Summary
A 4,000-year-old Sumerian tablet, rediscovered and partially translated, details a threat assessment of 12 extraterrestrial races. Organized by perceived threat level, with lower numbers indicating higher danger, the tablet describes each race's nature, potential intentions, and past interactions with Earth. The races range from passive observers to those who have influenced human development and those who may already be present or living among us. The document's anonymous scribe states the information was 'told' to them, raising questions about its origin and the immense secrecy surrounding the artifact.
Key Insights
The tablet's translation and the artifact's handling suggest a deliberate effort to conceal its contents.
The researchers who translated it stopped publishing within a month, with one resigning. The photographs were removed from the forum, and the tablet was reclassified as 'object NN401' in an inaccessible database, indicating its sensitive nature.
The threat code is inverted: 1 is the highest threat, and 12 is the lowest, classifying priority targets like a modern intelligence agency.
The threat code numbers are inverted. Lower numbers (closer to 1) indicate races considered more dangerous, having intervened, having agendas, or being already present. Higher numbers (closer to 12) indicate passive observers. This ranking system is compared to how a military intelligence agency classifies priority targets.
The tablet is unique for its anonymity and the cryptic inscription suggesting the information was 'told' to the scribe.
The tablet is unusual because it lacks a scribe's signature, date, or commissioning king's name, common for administrative tablets. It's dated 4,000-4,500 years ago. The inscription 'This is what we were told' above the columns indicates the scribe was a recorder of transmitted information, not a witness.
Code 9, the 'bent serpent' (possibly Hydra), are 'those who measure populations', visiting Earth in cycles to assess developmental thresholds for future action.
Named for the 'bent serpent' constellation, this race visits Earth in ~6,000-year cycles to count humans and cities, and measure growth rates. They 'count to determine when to act', implying a future intervention when a specific population or development threshold is reached, symbolized by 'the harvest comes when the field is full'.
Code 7, the 'deep listeners', exist beyond our solar system and constantly monitor Earth's signals, deciding whether to respond.
Located 'beyond the wandering lights' (planets), the 'deep listeners' have never visited but receive Earth's signals, including sounds of fire, metal, and weapons. They are currently deciding whether to respond to humanity, with this decision placed in our near future.
Code 4, the 'first to fall' (Lyra), are a race that destroyed their own planet and may have integrated with early humans.
Linked to Lyra, this race is believed to have destroyed their own world through their actions. Survivors integrated with early humans, meaning part of our genome or consciousness may derive from them. The warning is that 'the one that became us is the one that will end us', suggesting we share their destructive capability.
Code 1, 'the one that already lives here', is not from elsewhere but is indigenous to Earth and poses the highest threat.
Labeled with a circled symbol and no star reference, Code 1 is 'the one that already lives here' or similar. This race has been on Earth since before cities, observed all civilizations, interacted with humans throughout history, and poses the greatest danger. Its motives are unknown, but its presence and knowledge of us are absolute.

Discovery and Significance of the Nineveh Tablet
An ancient clay tablet from Nineveh, initially unclassifiable, was anonymously photographed and shared, leading to a partial translation.
In 1849, British archaeologist Austin Henry Layard found a cracked clay tablet in Nineveh. Its cuneiform script was unusual, and it remained unclassified for over 170 years. In 2019, a junior researcher photographed it without authorization and uploaded the images, allowing three linguists to partially translate it within 48 hours.
The tablet is not administrative but a ranked threat assessment of races aware of Earth, with a unique numbering system.
The tablet was found to be a ranking and threat assessment, not a king list, creation myth, or trade record. It contains 12 entries, each naming a 'race' believed to know Earth exists, assigning a number based on what they want from us, what they have done, and their conditions for return.
The tablet's translation and the artifact's handling suggest a deliberate effort to conceal its contents.
The researchers who translated it stopped publishing within a month, with one resigning. The photographs were removed from the forum, and the tablet was reclassified as 'object NN401' in an inaccessible database, indicating its sensitive nature.
The tablet's structure uses two columns: Sumerian names linked to stars/constellations and a 'threat code' from 1 to 12.
The tablet is divided into two columns. The left lists the race by its Sumerian name, often corresponding to a known star or constellation. The right column contains the 'threat code', a number from 1 to 12.
The threat code is inverted: 1 is the highest threat, and 12 is the lowest, classifying priority targets like a modern intelligence agency.
The threat code numbers are inverted. Lower numbers (closer to 1) indicate races considered more dangerous, having intervened, having agendas, or being already present. Higher numbers (closer to 12) indicate passive observers. This ranking system is compared to how a military intelligence agency classifies priority targets.
The tablet is unique for its anonymity and the cryptic inscription suggesting the information was 'told' to the scribe.
The tablet is unusual because it lacks a scribe's signature, date, or commissioning king's name, common for administrative tablets. It's dated 4,000-4,500 years ago. The inscription 'This is what we were told' above the columns indicates the scribe was a recorder of transmitted information, not a witness.
The information on the tablet might be a direct transmission from non-human sources about themselves.
The anonymous nature and the inscription 'This is what we were told' suggest the tablet is a preserved message. If the source was non-human, the tablet is not about Sumerian beliefs but a record of these races describing themselves.
Threat Assessment: Codes 12 Down to 9
Code 12, the 'watchers from the seven sisters' linked to the Pleiades, are passive observers who have witnessed Earth's history without intervention.
Named after the Pleiades cluster (Mulmul), Code 12 represents the least concerning race. They are described as observers who have watched Earth since before multiple great floods, counting human seasons but never intervening or making contact. Their non-action makes them the safest.
Code 11, the 'cold blood from the long dark' (Draco), cataloged Earth's life and knows where our knowledge is stored.
Associated with Draco, this race traveled to Earth long ago, examined it, took samples, and left without contact. They cataloged life and know 'where we keep our records', showing particular interest in written knowledge. Their return would focus on what we've learned since.
Code 10, the 'bright walkers' (possibly Sirius), were luminous and indifferent travelers who briefly visited early humans as a mere stopover.
The 'bright walkers' are described as tall, luminous, and indifferent. They visited once, walked among early humans, and left. Earth was not their goal but a stopover destination, making them a low threat as they don't consider us important.
Code 9, the 'bent serpent' (possibly Hydra), are 'those who measure populations', visiting Earth in cycles to assess developmental thresholds for future action.
Named for the 'bent serpent' constellation, this race visits Earth in ~6,000-year cycles to count humans and cities, and measure growth rates. They 'count to determine when to act', implying a future intervention when a specific population or development threshold is reached, symbolized by 'the harvest comes when the field is full'.
Threat Assessment: Codes 8 Down to 5
Code 8, the 'silent gardeners' (Cygnus), introduced Earth's staple crops like wheat and barley approximately 10,000 years ago.
Associated with Cygnus, this race literally seeded Earth with cultivated wheat, barley, and other crops around 10,000 years before the tablet was carved, matching botanical anomalies. They planted and left, implying a future return to check on their growth.
Code 7, the 'deep listeners', exist beyond our solar system and constantly monitor Earth's signals, deciding whether to respond.
Located 'beyond the wandering lights' (planets), the 'deep listeners' have never visited but receive Earth's signals, including sounds of fire, metal, and weapons. They are currently deciding whether to respond to humanity, with this decision placed in our near future.
Code 6, the 'builders of stone' (Orion's Belt), taught humans to construct megalithic structures like those in Giza, Peru, and Baalbek.
Linked to Orion's Belt, this race taught early humans how to cut, transport, and assemble massive stone blocks for structures in Egypt (Giza), Peru (Saksaywaman), and Lebanon (Baalbek). These sites were intended as visible markers or signals, with their ambiguous intentions placing them mid-list.
Code 5, the 'ones who do not look like us' (Bootes), are beings with fluid forms who left behind anomalous artifacts on Earth.
Associated with Bootes, this race had a fluid or changing physical form and interacted with early humans. They left behind artifacts that behave anomalously (moving without being moved, heat without source) and are programmed to activate when needed.
Threat Assessment: Codes 4 Down to 1
Code 4, the 'first to fall' (Lyra), are a race that destroyed their own planet and may have integrated with early humans.
Linked to Lyra, this race is believed to have destroyed their own world through their actions. Survivors integrated with early humans, meaning part of our genome or consciousness may derive from them. The warning is that 'the one that became us is the one that will end us', suggesting we share their destructive capability.
Code 3, the 'keepers of water' (Aquarius), are continuous residents of Earth's oceans, extracting resources with a clear end goal.
Associated with Aquarius, this race continuously resides in Earth's oceans, unknown to humans, monitoring, sampling, and taking something specific (mineral, energy, or biological material) from the water. They will leave 'the way one leaves a field that has been fully harvested' upon completion of their extraction.
Code 2, the 'watchers above', are stationed within our solar system and will descend when humanity becomes aware of their existence.
Not coming from a star, this race is stationed within our solar system ('the second of the wandering lights'). They constantly watch and record, waiting for the moment humans become aware of them. Their descent is implied to be imminent upon this awareness, and their high rank indicates considerable danger.
Code 1, 'the one that already lives here', is not from elsewhere but is indigenous to Earth and poses the highest threat.
Labeled with a circled symbol and no star reference, Code 1 is 'the one that already lives here' or similar. This race has been on Earth since before cities, observed all civilizations, interacted with humans throughout history, and poses the greatest danger. Its motives are unknown, but its presence and knowledge of us are absolute.
The Unresolved Thirteenth Element
A final line suggests there are 13 entities, not 12, with the 13th being humanity itself or a hybrid unknown.
A line added later states, 'they are not 12, they are 13.' The 13th entity's nature is undetermined: some suggest it's humanity, unaware of its own nature, while others propose a hybrid population living among us.
The tablet's warning is now public, emphasizing the Sumerians' knowledge and attempt to inform future generations.
Despite the artifact's secure storage and the disappearance of associated research, the translation survives. The tablet serves as a 4,000-year-old warning from the Sumerians about known extraterrestrial entities, leaving humans to decide how to interpret and act upon this knowledge.
