- Synopsis
- Victorian England. William Adamson, a professor of mythology, is fond of the history of the ancient Sumerian civilization, once located in Mesopotamia. Suddenly Adamson receives a solid inheritance and finds a sponsor in the British Museum. And thus, he fulfills his cherished dream — he goes to the Middle East, the cradle of ancient Sumerian history. After lengthy archaeological excavations, William and his colleague find the ancient tomb of the legendary king Gilgamesh, filled with artifacts. In particular, golden tablets dotted with mysterious symbols fall into their hands. Archaeologists are trying to decipher them and understand that Gilgamesh is a real historical person, a descendant of the Anunnaki race, who came to Earth from the depths of space. Returning to England, Adamson publishes a scientific work in which he tries bit by bit to restore the history of aliens. And he openly speaks out in favor of the extraterrestrial origin of not only the many artifacts found, but also of the people themselves. And actually offers to rewrite the history of humanity. Meanwhile, the Vatican is troubled by the bold ideas of a young archaeologist, undermining the foundations of faith, and is trying to resist William through various print media. Unknown people enter William’s chamber, after which important working materials disappear without a trace. The Vatican's agent steals gold tablets stored in the British Museum so that scientists could not completely decipher them and comprehend ancient secrets. However, a young lady appears on the “stage” who does not agree with the Vatican’s actions and has long been watching William, and clearly feels sympathy for him. In her appearance, she resembles a description of the ancient Sumerian goddess...
