When Caligastia, the apostate Planetary Prince of Urantia, first came to our planet, he brought with him a staff of one hundred helpers.

“On going to a young world, a Planetary Prince usually takes with him a group of volunteer ascending beings from the local system headquarters. These ascenders accompany the prince as advisers and helpers in the work of early race improvement. This corps of material helpers constitutes the connecting link between the prince and the world races. The Urantia Prince, Caligastia, had a corps of one hundred such helpers.” - 50:3.1

Sixty of these helpers defaulted along with Caligastia and bred with humans, creating a new race, the Nephilim, or Nodites in Urantia Book nomenclature.

“The postrebellion era on Urantia witnessed many unusual happenings. A great civilization—the culture of Dalamatia—was going to pieces. "The Nephilim (Nodites) were on earth in those days, and when these sons of the gods went in to the daughters of men and they bore to them, their children were the 'mighty men of old,' the 'men of renown.'" While hardly "sons of the gods," the staff and their early descendants were so regarded by the evolutionary mortals of those distant days; even their stature came to be magnified by tradition. This, then, is the origin of the well-nigh universal folk tale of the gods who came down to earth and there with the daughters of men begot an ancient race of heroes. And all this legend became further confused with the race mixtures of the later appearing Adamites in the second garden. Since the one hundred corporeal members of the Prince's staff carried germ plasm of the Andonic human strains, it would naturally be expected that, if they engaged in sexual reproduction, their progeny would altogether resemble the offspring of other Andonite parents. But when the sixty rebels of the staff, the followers of Nod, actually engaged in sexual reproduction, their children proved to be far superior in almost every way to both the Andonite and the Sangik peoples. This unexpected excellence characterized not only physical and intellectual qualities but also spiritual capacities.” - 77:2.3-4

Zecharia Sichin, a proponent of the Ancient Astronaut theory, proposed that an ancient alien race invaded our planet and modifed our DNA with the express purpose of using humans to mine gold.  However, interpretations of these historical Sumerian tablets were wildly incorrect.

“When archaeologists dig up the clay-tablet records of the later-day Sumerian descendants of the Nodites, they discover lists of Sumerian kings running back for several thousand years; and as these records go further back, the reigns of the individual kings lengthen from around twenty-five or thirty years up to one hundred and fifty years and more. This lengthening of the reigns of these older kings signifies that some of the early Nodite rulers (immediate descendants of the Prince's staff) did live longer than their later-day successors and also indicates an effort to stretch the dynasties back to Dalamatia.” - 77:2.10

"#Sumeriantablets from the ruins of #Nippur preserved something no one expected. The Sumerian tablets cataloged as #CBS10673 contained not one collapse — but eight. These Sumerian tablets described how each #civilization ended, in sequence, one after another, for reasons that grow uncomfortably familiar...The scribes of Nippur could not know what the future would bring. They could only preserve what the past had already taught them — seven times."

Sumerians created an advanced civilization with its own system of elaborate language and writing, architecture and arts, astronomy and mathematics.
