If you study the clay tablet translations, or the oral lore of Polynesians, Indonesians, American plain indians, Meso-Americans, etc... all the clues point to this: we are a (genetically) engineered slave species since several millennia ago.

And none of this based on Z. Sitchin's bs "translations", but modern linguistic comparative translations across various sources.

We are a cargo cult worshipping the remnants of our (otherworldly humanoid) overlords, who used as as slave labour.
