Were the ancestors of the Tennow Aliens?
This theory is so interesting and fascinating for Japanese, because the mythology of Japan comes to be verified by the forefront modern science at last. It signifies that mythology is coincident with a scientific theory! However, we should be more prudent in reaching the conclusion that the ancestors of the Tennow was aliens with high intelligence. It needs much more evidence to prove the theories and we must expect it for future scientific researches of astronomy and discoveries of archeological excavations.

The Japanese Mythology and Cosmology
If the theory that in ancient age some intelligent aliens landed down upon the Earth and inhabited at the Mesopotamia area will be certified and be verified with clear evidence proposed by archeologists or astronomers in future, the mythology of Japan also will be regarded as a non-fiction story, so to speak historical facts, which occurred actually in the past time. The ancestor of the Tennow family descended from not the Heaven but from the unidentified Planet X

Modern Theories and Mythology
By the way, even in the modern age, some researchers, for example, Zecharia Sitchin and Alan F. Alford, have come to insist the capability that in the ancient age, intelligent aliens came to the earth and created human-beings with gene manipulation. According to their theories, the aliens, who were inhabitants of an unidentified Planet, the twelfth Planet X in the solar system, descended with high-technologies and an advanced civilization to the Earth.

The Tennow: The Descendant of the Deities
Then, did the ancestor of the Tennow really descend from the Heaven or some heavenly place in the ancient age? Can we completely deny the plausibility that the Tennow would be one of offspring of deities as a fantastic and unscientific view? Of course, it is true that human-beings have believed of the existence of deities in this world particularly in the polytheism. Shintoists and Japanese people has respected and worshiped the Tennow supposing that the ancestor of the Tennow family descended from the Heaven to the Japanese islands. Thus we incline to regard it as a matter concerning a religious nature rather than real history.

The Feature of the Japanese Mythology
The distinctive feature of the age of Japanese Mythology is that both of the compliers of the Japanese history books, the Chronicle of Japan and the Kojiki, comprehended it a matter of vertical descent from the Heaven to the Earth by Izanagi-no-mikoto and Izanamino-mikoto, and from Takama-no-hara to Ashihara-no-nakatu-kuni by Ninigi-no-mikoto. We can almost recognize two stages of descent in the age of mythology, and that the deities showed human nature as like those in the Greek Mythology.

The Birth of Ugaya-hukiaezu-no-mikoto
Ashamed of the exposure of her real identity, Toyotama-hime went back to the palace of the deity of sea, angry at her husband’s breach of the promise that he never looked her childbed. Toyotama-hime, however, left her younger sister in so as to foster her new-born baby. The reason why the name of the baby was Hikonagisa-take-ugaya-fukiaezu-no-mikoto was that he was born while the roof of the childbirth cabin had not been yet thatched. Ugaya means a childbirth cabin and fukiaezu signifies that one has not thatched the roof with cogongrasses or leaves of Japanese plum yew.
