The video revolves around Mauro Biglino's revolutionary interpretations of the Bible, particularly his new book "Gods of the Bible – A New Interpretation of the Bible Reveals the Oldest Secret in History," which has been recently published in English through Tuthi. Biglino, a scholar and translator of the Bible, challenges the traditional monotheistic readings by focusing on the term "Elohim," which he argues refers to multiple deities rather than a single God. This interpretation is supported by numerous biblical passages and contextual historical narratives, notably linking to Sumerian stories about the Anunnaki.
The discussions highlight various biblical examples, such as Genesis 6, Psalm 82, and Deuteronomy 32, which support a polytheistic or henotheistic backdrop rather than strict monotheism. The video also explores Yahweh's role among the Elohim, depicting him as a local, war-leader deity assigned to the people of Israel, rather than an overarching universal god.
Moreover, Biglino discusses the advanced nature and technologies of the Elohim, contemplating their possible extraterrestrial origins and technological prowess, which might have influenced their perception as divine beings. A Methodist Bishop, Roy Sano, concurs with the possibility of such interpretations involving advanced extraterrestrial intelligences.
Biglino advocates for a literal reading of the Bible, setting aside theological interpretations, to unearth its practical and historical meanings. He reinterprets terms such as "malachim" (angels) as messengers, shedding light on concrete aspects like ruach (spirit), kavod (glory), and other entities.
The video concludes with a reflection on the intriguing insights offered by Biglino's book and encourages viewers to read both the Bible and Biglino’s work to gain a deeper, more nuanced understanding of these ancient texts.

In this part of the video, the speaker expresses gratitude for the opportunity to interview Mauro Biglino and thanks the publisher, Tuthi, for publishing Biglino’s new book, “Gods of the Bible – A New Interpretation of the Bible Reveals the Oldest Secret in History.” The conversation signifies an important moment as the book has recently been made available to an English-speaking audience, marking Biglino’s first English publication.
The speaker highlights Mauro Biglino’s credentials, emphasizing his role as a Bible scholar, translator, and best-selling author. Biglino has translated 17 books of the Old Testament and his literal approach to the Bible has led him to uncover and voice various contradictions. The main topic discussed from the book is the concept of the “Elohim,” suggesting a provocative challenge to traditional monotheistic interpretations of the Bible.
00:05:00
In this part of the video, the discussion focuses on the Hebrew term “Elohim” and its translation as God in the Bible. The speaker, Mauro, argues that “Elohim” actually represents a plurality of individuals, a concept obscured by Judeo-Christian monotheistic theology. He emphasizes that “Elohim” has a plural ending in Hebrew, indicating multiple deities, and mentions various biblical passages and historical contexts where this plurality is evident. Specific examples include other deities like Kamosh, Milkom, and Adad, highlighting that “Elohim” refers to a group rather than a singular God. Mauro also notes that this interpretation aligns with older Sumerian creation stories involving the Anunnaki, who are comparable to the Elohim.
00:10:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses various passages from the Bible that suggest a polytheistic or monolithic background rather than a strictly monotheistic one. Key points include Genesis 6, where the “sons of the Elohim” mate with human women, indicating a plurality of divine beings. The story of Jacob meeting two angels and calling the place “Mahanaim,” meaning “two camps,” and Psalm 82, describing an assembly of Elohim, also support this theme. Additionally, the speaker mentions that no book has been altered as much as the Bible, reflecting changing theological and ideological needs over time. They emphasize the importance of reading the Bible independently to gain a deeper understanding. One highlighted passage is Deuteronomy 32, which shows a hierarchy among the Elohim. This hierarchy is compared to the Sumerian story “Enki and the World Order,” where power is divided among the Anunnaki.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses how Enki delegated various responsibilities and privileges to the Anunnaki, assigning them tasks essential for human civilizations such as agriculture, breeding, and building. The Sumerians detailed these events, including the dissatisfactions among the lesser gods who argued over responsibilities and land distribution, reflecting their human-like behavior. The Bible recounts a similar tale in Deuteronomy 32, where the Anunnaki are referred to as Elohim and their supreme commander as Elyon, meaning “The Highest.”
During the division of lands, Yahweh, one of the Elohim, was assigned to the family of Jacob (Israel), despite not receiving other Hebrew branches or land, marking his people as landless initially. Yahweh’s relationship with his people involved a lengthy series of wars to obtain the Promised Land, contradicting the idea of a universal God. Yahweh is framed as a local clan leader who had to conquer rather than promise land. The existence of a now-lost book “The Wars of Yahweh” suggests that his power necessitated conquest. The narrative emphasizes that Yahweh was likely one of the less significant Elohim, reinforcing his role as a local deity rather than a universal figure.
Additionally, the speaker points out the important historical context connecting the Bible to Sumerian and Akkadian tales, noting that Yahweh was just one of many Elohim, each differing in character, role, and position.
00:20:00
In this part of the video, the speaker delves into the enigmatic nature of the Elohim, discussing their unknown origins and the challenges in defining their meaning. The speaker asserts that Elohim were beings who lived much longer than humans, though not immortal, citing Psalm 82. Furthermore, Elohim were described as being both biologically and technologically advanced, with references in the Bible to flying machines, powerful weapons, and genetic manipulation. The speaker claims to have uncovered these details in his book, suggesting that our ancestors may have considered these advanced beings as divine.
The segment then transitions to a discussion with a Methodist Bishop, Roy Sano, who supports the notion of extraterrestrial intelligence and advanced technology in the Bible. The speaker then raises a question about the identity of God, noting a disparity between the warrior-like depiction of Yahweh and contemporary ideas of God, emphasizing the practical and concrete nature of ancient Semitic mentality. The discussion highlights that today’s concept of God has evolved significantly over centuries, influenced by theology and philosophical developments that were not present during the time the biblical stories were written.
00:25:00
In this part of the video, the translator discusses his approach to interpreting the Bible through a literal reading of Biblical Hebrew, setting aside theological interpretations. He argues that the Bible should be read as a straightforward text without relying on metaphors or allegories. He suggests that the term “malachim,” often translated as “angels,” actually means “messengers” and should be understood in a practical, human context rather than a spiritual one. He invites listeners to re-read the Bible without theological preconceptions to better understand its original meaning.
00:30:00
In this part of the video, the speaker expresses excitement about discovering beautiful surprises in the Bible, particularly through Mauro’s new book, “Gods of the Bible.” They found the chapter on angels (malachim) compelling and enjoyed the book’s concrete approach to biblical subjects like the ruach, kavod, Elohim, and the name of Satan. The speaker thanks Mauro and Tuthi publisher and encourages everyone to read the Bible and Mauro’s new book. The segment concludes with acknowledgments and anticipation for future readings.
