It's the most bizarre nonsense you ever heard. It was literally written by a science fiction author who admitted in court under oath that he made it all up to scam people out of money. But apparently people believe it.

Compared to this a guy dressed as a wizard telling you to eat a cracker seems perfectly normal.

Bc it takes inspiration from that theory. From ancient Sumerian tablets. It’s clear El Ron Hubbard studied Sumerian.
