November 26, 1998: Biblical History - Father Charles Moore

Art Bell speaks with Father Charles Moore, a retired Catholic priest recommended by Zecharia Sitchin, who integrates Sitchin's research about the Anunnaki into his theological framework. Father Moore explains that inserting the ancient gods into the accepted biblical paradigm resolves contradictions that have long puzzled scholars, arguing that the Anunnaki served as emissaries of a greater cosmic God rather than replacing traditional theology.

Moore reveals that he shared these views with a bishop friend from seminary who acknowledged their validity but admitted he could never speak of them publicly. He describes how the arrangement of the twelve tribes of Israel in the desert corresponds exactly to the zodiac, and identifies the biblical figure Azazel as the specific Anunnaki whose unauthorized genetic interference with humans led to the decision not to rescue humanity from the Great Flood.

The discussion takes a dramatic turn when Moore claims the third secret of Fatima, which he says was released by the Vatican, predicts a bolide impact on June 30, 1999, the same date independently identified by Graham Hancock in The Mars Mystery. Moore connects this to Nostradamus and Father Malachi Martin's warnings to keep eyes on the sky, suggesting these convergent predictions point toward a potential extinction-level event.
