METROPOLIS AS A PROPHECY
By Farah Yurdozu


When I Googled futurist movie director Fritz Lang, I ironically thought that he never used a laptop, an iPad or a cell phone in his life. He never had a Facebook profile. He didn’t need these digital toys in order to create a masterpiece like Metropolis which stands as a very accurate prophecy of our present time.

Austrian born Fritz Lang directed black and white silent movie Metropolis in 1927. This was just after his first visit to New York City and before the start of the contemporary UFO age, which began 20 years later with the Roswell crash incident. As he was very much impressed by New York City style architecture and buildings he created a perfect, futuristic version of the Big Apple in the set, adding advanced science fiction touches.

Metropolis is the story of a utopic city of 2026 where life is powered by a huge underground machine system. The city is divided into two parts as the ruling rich class’ very advanced and modern section on the surface and the massive underground city of the slave workers. Two opposite worlds represent the everlasting battle between the elite ruling class and the working class in every age and geography. But the real interesting point is that Fritz Lang’s Metropolis is bringing a spiritual aspect to the harshness of these two worlds using the mythological symbols from Mesopotamia and Babel. In another words he is telling us the story of the Annunaki-Illuminati connection in his futuristic movie. It sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

According to the theory of ancient astronauts, Annunaki is the interdimentional race who came from the race of God Anu and started the first civilizations in today’s Iraq thousands of years ago. And Illuminati is one of the strongest societies which was established based on the philosophical, social and political principles of Annunaki race on earth. Illuminati society became known first in Europe in 16th century although its roots goes back to at least ten thousand years ago. Today conspiracy theorists believe that the Illuminati still exist and are responsable for most of the current world affairs and political decisions of an international scale. Illuminati members are very much aware of our Annunaki ancestors and they still follow the esoteric path given by them. That’s why many of the prominent world cities such as New York, Washington, Paris are designed and organized based on esoteric symbolism.

We see a large amount of esoteric symbolism in Metropolis too. The center of the city is called New Tower of Babel. The meaning of Babel is “The Gate of the Gods” which refers to the cosmic entrance of the interdimensional beings into our physical dimension. Today we call these entrances “stargate”. Metropolis’ Tower of Babel is in the shape of a five pointed star. Five pointed star is the symbol of Sirius which is esoterically known as the guiding, spiritual sun of the human race.

While the leader of the city controls everything from his Tower of Babel unfortunately thousands of slave workers who go down to feed the machine system every day have no priviledge of enjoying the skyscrapers or the beautiful gardens made for the rich people. Workers have to run the machines non stop during 24 hours so that rich class can keep having the pleasures of Metropolis. Although everything seems mechanical and even technological in the depts of the city in fact, the main machine is a living creature. Main machine is the ancient Semitic God Moloch which is known as the God of the sacrifices. The gigantic size Moloch is a temple dedicated to blood gods where workers dragged by the Sumerian priests and force to jump into the flames.

Another name of this very ancient ritual is Holocaust, means offering. It is the human offering to the Gods. Intriguingly in 1927 Metropolis was also predicting the upcoming terror of the Nazi holocaust during Second World War. Adolf Hitler and some of the high ranking Nazi officers were very much involved with occult practices and dark arts. They were basically practising Babylonian ritual magic in order to contact some superior, extra terrestrial beings. Nazi’s holocaust was an offering to feed the dark forces as well. Hitler and his close circle believed that they contacted Extra Terrestrial intelligences through rituals and spiritual channeling. According to some claims Extra Terrestrial beings from Aldebaran star system helped Nazis to build several different types of UFOs.

Except building UFOs, Nazis’ another main purpose was to create a pure race of blond haired, white skinned and blue eyed Aryans. Could it be a coincidence that in Metropolis, the rich class who lives in the upper city fits to this Aryan description very well with their blond hair and fair skin, meanwhile the workers of the underground city have mostly dark hair and dark features? Another leading character of Metropolis is Maria she is also blond and blue eyed although she is from the underworld. But she is different than the others: Maria is a saint who promises the coming of a Mediator who will make peace between the head and the hands. Metropolis is lack of a heart and a spiritual path. Mediator is the heart and the expected savior. It is very obvious that Maria symbolises the mother Goddess who waits for the Messiah.

Although the underworld city has a Christian belief led by Maria, we cannot see a clear religious concept in the upper city. Where everything is based on technology and materialistic values it seems that the rich class has no need to have a belief system or a spiritual path. But we see another esoteric symbol in upper city which is a pentagram over the door of the scientist, Rotwang.

When Rotwang creates a robot woman under the pentagram which is again the Sirius symbol he says that this will be the future of humankind, a “machine human”. And it is very easy to see the resemblance between the robot woman and the Statue of Liberty in New York City. Both of the symbols Robot woman and Lady Liberty work for the same purpose: Goddess worship. As a matter of fact the real religion of Metropolis is Goddess worship, which is the original Annunaki religion far from the expected mediator or savior who will bring peace. Because one of the first demands of Goddess worship is human sacrifice and human blood.

Later Rotwang steals Maria’s face and body to give life to newly created robot woman. And he sends this hybrid being to the underground world to create turmoil. The half human half robot woman is the dark and the destructive aspect of the Goddess. She becomes the Whore of Babylon. According to Christian belief the Whore of Babylon is the mother of harlots and abominations on the earth, she is the Antichrist.

Metropolis offers us multiple layers of interpretations and most of them fit perfectly to today’s ET-UFO-Annunaki ancestors theory. Sitting on a seven headed monster, Whore of Babylon seems an important milestone for modern era UFO matters.

For some researchers modern UFO-ET era started with British occultist Aleister Crowley’s ritual magick works. Between January and March 1918 Aleister Crowley conducted a magickal ritual in New York City. Due to his ritual he opened and activated a stargate and a being that he calls Lam entered into our physical dimension. The drawing of Lam made by Crowley himself has a remarkable resemblance with the typical Grey aliens.

California based rocket designer Jack Parsons was also a dedicated occultist and a disciple of Aleister Crowley. He was a member of the O.T.O ( Ordo Templi Orientis ) an occult order run by Crowley. Parsons devoted himself to the ritual of Babylon. Working together with occultist partner and Scientology Church founder L. Ron Hubbard tried to invoke a living goddess to change to destiny of mankind. What they wanted to do was to bring the Whore of Babylon into our physical dimension through the stargate and to invest it into a human body, just like Rotwang does in Metropolis. Parsons and Hubbard practised the magical working called Babylon Working in 1946. They opened the portal again but after they finished their ritual they were not able to close it. Or maybe they didn’t want to close the stargate. And on June 24, 1947 the modern age of UFOlogy started with the Kenneth Arnold’s sighting over the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. After that Roswell UFO crash in July 1947 was going to be another milestone for what we call UFOlogy.

California based UFO contactee and amateur astronomer George Adamski lived in Palomar Gardens in 1950s and early 1960s in an area very close to Hale Observatory. As a coincidence occultist Jack Parsons’ OTO Lodge used to have a temple at Mount Palomar long before the Hale Observatory was build on top of the mountain. George Adamski’s first close encounter with a blue eyed and blond Nordic Extra Terrestrial being was also intriguing as the visitor came out of a Nazi type UFO landed on the desert. He was called Orthon and he supposedly was from Venus. He seemed as a perfect prototype of the Nazi Aryan-pure race obsesion. And much later when the Nazi UFO designs and plans became accessible to the public, the similarity between them and Adamski UFOs was more than obvious.

Loooking for a superior race in science and in the roots of Annunaki ancestors, Nazis loved Lang’s Metropolis. Later Fritz Lang became a member of the Nazi Party NSDAP ( National Socialist German Workers’ Party ) worrying about his Jewish heritage.

We really don’t know if Fritz Lang had any knowledge about UFOs and Extra Terrestrial Annunaki visitors or not. Maybe he only wanted to show the power of the ruling elite class in any world society using science fiction as a background set. Or maybe he was aware of the world’s real owners and he prefered to use a fantastic cinema language. But it is very meaningful that he created a Metropolis copying the real New York City. In fact New York City is the new Tower of Babel with hundreds of different languages spoken and with thousands of people from all over the world living together. And let’s not forget about New York’s most important esoteric symbol Goddess Lady Liberty.

It seems that in every age and society human race waits for a savior, a Messiah, a hero to bring peace and love. But times are changing, and the identity of savior is changing too based on human race’s needs and expectations. Today UFO believers are waiting for the Disclosure of UFO files and hoping a mass landing of UFOs. Disclosure of UFO secrecy is the most popular topic in the last decade. But let’s ask a fantastic question just like Lang did, when the Extra Terrestrial visitors land, meet and greet humans what if they declare themselves as the ruling elite class having advanced technology and power making the earth planet a new Metropolis to feed the main machine with human lives.
