Pharaoh's voice filled my head as he began to tell me things I had always wanted to know about. I had always questioned the complexity of the connection between the two archeological sites. I'd been fascinated by them since I first learned they existed and saw the pictures of the structures there.
*************************
Long ago, his voice began, and the Anunnaki came upon a distant galaxy they had observed in their quest for knowledge. It was quite far from our world, so a great fleet of arks was constructed, and it was filled with scientists from many divisions of our race. It took hundreds of years to traverse the distance, but the Anunnaki are a long-lived species of enlightened beings. This was thousands of years ago in your world.
When the ships arrived, they began to orbit earth, as you call it. We call it Shambhala, or Place Of Silence, as the primitive species we found there had no language and did not speak. They had no vocal apparatus of any kind. They were mute but extremely high functioning, so we began to use them as experimental subjects.
A place for conducting research was built on the planet, a place you now call Puma Punku in the hills of central America. The research facility was massive and drew the attention of the native species. We erected stone walls that interlocked one with the other and began to do gene splicing experiments on them. After many trials and many years, a new type of human emerged, and the beauty of them enthralled my species.
One of my ancestors was among the pharaohs who led the expedition to your world. Once the experiments were finished and we had taught them basic skills, the facility was destroyed, so no one would discover the truth behind their existence. The equipment was hidden in various places across the planet, and the leaders set up many cities in which to govern your people.
One such Pharaoh became enamored of one of his subjects and bore a child with her. This was disapproved of greatly, and he lost his hold on reality when she spurned him for another. He became set on revenge and almost wiped out your species with a great deluge, but other pharaohs stepped in, whisking some of them to places they could survive the years that followed. He paused for a minute before continuing, his eyes far away.
That Pharaoh was my ancestor, came the soft voice filling my head. I was shocked. He continued after turning to face me, his eyes dark and stormy.
"My family swore revenge on the family of the woman who caused an Anunnaki king to debase himself. He was returned to the Goddess for reconditioning and chose to remain in the void as penance for what he had done. It's still spoken of, but quietly. It is a shameful thing." He closed his eyes for a moment as though collecting his thoughts.
"The family that caused this event was YOUR family," he declared. I couldn't say anything, so I just sat there caught in his gaze.
I was suddenly afraid of him, and it must have shown on my face because his eyes softened slightly.
"You have no reason to fear me, Zefreya. I could never hurt you. You are to be my mate." Again with that word, I thought, causing him to laugh. "You were chosen before you were born by the Goddess. She knows that which others do not."
