For years, experts have tried to figure out a way on how humans can communicate with aliens and if aliens really do exist. Just recently, Kazem Finjan, Iraq's Transport Minister, reveals that indeed aliens had been here on Earth long time ago. In fact, "ancient aliens" landed on earth 7,000 years ago to build the world's first space station, he said.

In a press conference where Finjan was supposed to discuss about a new airport in Dhi Qar, South Iraq, the minister had a bit of a segue and revealed that aliens had been here on Earth a long time ago. He said that "ancient aliens" landed on earth 7,000 years ago to build the world's first airport/space station.

According to the senior minister, the fully fledged space station built in the El Naciria area in Mesopotamia was constructed to support the ancient aliens' interplanetary missions. Such has paved a way to explore the solar system and discover the "Planet X" also known as Niburu.

Translating what he said during the conference, Express quoted Finjan saying, "There are probably not many people who have knowledge, namely the fact that it was the first airport constructed 5,000 years before Christ."

"I invite those who doubt to read the book of the great Sumerian historian Zecharia Sitchin, or the books of Samuel Kramer including one entitled 'History begins at sumer' which speaks of the first airport constructed on planet earth, and it is there at el Naciria."

"The particularity of this place is that it remains the safest for the landing and takeoff of aircraft, due to favourable weather conditions. When the Sumerians settled on this land, they were aware of this and have chosen specifically for their flights to other planets."

For everyone, Ancient Mesopotamia saw the rise of the first civilization in world history. But for the senior minister, there is something more to the land. While it is where the early cities appeared, it is also where aliens first came and where early space exploration has started, he said.

Finjan's claims align with the long running "Ancient Alien Theory," which asserts that alien astronauts arrived on Earth in the Mesopotamian age to share their superior technology and knowledge with the Mesopotamians. The theory also mentions that the ancient aliens helped in building the Egyptian Pyramids.

According to Time Maps, a comprehensive atlas and encyclopedia of world history, many technological advances can be attributed to the Mesopotamians A major branch of Mesopotamian science was actually astronomy. They were the ones who introduced the use of astronomical tables that could predict eclipses and solstices.
