I might suggest flipping around the thesis of your title: the mystery schools were set up to preserve and--more importantly--to control the knowledge that was given to the Sumerians by the Anunnaki.
And let me add a note on Michael Heiser, the chief "debunker" of Sitchin: I once watched a few minutes of one of his main presentations, where he sought to show that you could completely dismiss the Anunnaki. He said something like, "Go to the Oxford Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature and search on the term 'anunnaki'. You won't find it anywhere because the Sumerians never mentioned the Anunnaki."
Strictly speaking, this is true. Sitchin came up with the term himself. HOWEVER, the Sumerians used the term "Anuna gods" instead of "Anunnaki", and they refer to the same group. There is no way Heiser was unaware of this. It's a deliberate lie.
I've only ever read a couple of paragraphs of Sitchin's work, but from what I understand of it I've come to many of the same conclusions independently.
Mathematics, Science, Art, the nature of our reality. Things like that.
People often talk about the physical part of building the great pyramid. That is just one part of a mega structure like that. The amount of math and planning involved is ginormous, and its hard to believe that people who were recording the solstice with sticks in the mud were capable of calculating the precession of equinox. The earliest mainstream society was able to do it was in early greece with the beginnings of algebra and calculus. At a time when everyone thought the world was flat, they were just learning the math involved to calculate something like the movement of a heavenly body in space. Meanwhile whoever was responsible for the zodiac system had known much much longer, likely before the last interglacial which was something like a 100,000 years ago. And when this one ends, the next one will start again in another 80,000 or something like that.
Then there are things like, the reoccurring cataclysms that earth faces on a semi predictable basis. If they admitted that we were created by higher beings, then they would have to admit maybe the rest of these old legends are true as well. Wouldn't want to cause mass panic do we.
Look at groups like the knight templars -> free masons. Some of their highest guarded secrets are math and architectural knowledge. They believe by hoarding this knowledge that they can reap special benefits over the average person. There may be some truth to all this old mumbo jumbo about the power of symbols and the spoken word. To share knowledge would mean giving up that power.
One of the biggest secrets is death. In all these old society's, no one feared death because they knew that death is not the end, but just another step in the cosmic process.
Very awesome response, thank you. I agree about the masons / secret societies knowing there must be power behind the symbols and speech because why else did they OBSESS over these prime numbers, stars, and hexagrams etc if they were ALL BULLSHIT?
I've read some of the cataclym redpill books and O do think there is a repeating pattern of massive cataclysms.
You're last thought is the most important to me, death on this earth and what it really means. Its something no one can answer today, yet how come ALL the past civilizations weren't scared or even were SUPER confident that they knew what happened to us at death? All these years i thought they were dumb mud and stick people.. now it seems they knew more than we actually do in regards to the MOST IMPORTANT thing, death on this hellish earth..
How could they all be so confident? They had to have seen something or felt something to know that we are not.
All of this expose has totally changed my perspective on life and the world. But now I must know the answer to death because My father has lung scarring disease at 61 and is now on oxygen, etc and I am so scared of losing my dad that I dont think I can even live on any more if I do.
Thats why I must know what they knew, how could they be so happy and confident and i am so fragile and scared of that possibility of losing my dad FOREVER that I cant go on?
