The Role of Deities in the Japanese and Sumerian Myth
Moreover, both of Japanese and Sumerian deities were described in their myths that they played a great part to recognize or assign a person to govern a nation or city-states where human-beings were living. The Japanese deities, however, have ever been considered to guardian deities protecting the nation or regional tribes, while the Sumerian deities upon a time tried to generate a great inundation to punish corrupt human-beings as like the story of Noah’s inundation. These views are similar to the divine right of kings in the pre-modern times.

The Analogy between the Japanese and the Sumerian Myths
Certainly, the myth of Japan has something in common with that of Sumer. For example, both of ancient Japanese and Sumerians imaged that in this world, male and female deities, each of them has inherent characters belonging to natural existence, the sun, the moon, the wind, the sea and so on, live with human-beings. Of course, this analogy seems to be common to most of views of polytheism through all ages and countries.

Sumer- the First Civilized Nation
The Sumer was well known as the first civilized nation in man’s recorded history which appeared in 4000B.C.. Samuel Noah Kramer, the distinguished Sumerologist, enumerates thirty nine first things that the Sumerians discovered or came to use in their ordinary lives or for their governance, for example, the first schools, the first bicameral congress, the first law code and so on[i]

Sumera-mikoto
Of course, some scholars has been pointed out that there are lots of similarities between the Japanese mythology and that of the other nations, particularly Greek, whose origin has been inferred in the Mesopotamia. As for the Mesopotamia, it is interesting that Japanese has called the title of the Tennow “Sumera-mikoto” and this title occurs to us the name of the first confederation of the Mesopotamia in history. That is the Sumer.

Where did the Yayoi people come from?
Aside from the newest theory, can we follow the tracks of the road that the Tennow family or the Yayoi people had came along. There is no room to define the original place where the Yayoi people had been inhabited. For, in Japanese official history books, they were considered as to be the people descending from the Heaven to the Earth vertically, not transferring from the West to the East horizontally.

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.
