King Harald Bluetooth, who reigned from his royal seat in Jelling during the tenth century A.D., is a towering historical figure, credited with having established the state of Denmark. New research finds that his mother, Queen Thyra, about whom little is known, was also seen as an extremely important personage in her time. Thyra’s name appears on two runestones at Jelling—one dedicated to her by her husband and Harald’s father, Gorm, and another raised by Harald to commemorate his parents. This is unusual, given that very few women are named on runestones in Denmark. Two other runestones, found in the nearby village of Laeborg and the town of Baekke, also include the name Thyra, though it was unclear whether they, too, referred to Harald’s mother.

A very famously known line is “Let us create man in our image”.. Notice the US and the OUR… It was never “Let ME create man in MY image” … Never… Those who were speaking those words were a group of advanced extraterrestrial race of beings who we now know as the Anunnaki. Anunnaki is a term that simply means “Those who from the heavens came down to the Earth.” So technically all ET races can be considered ‘Anunnaki’ beings.
