The Hopi are a Native America Nation who primarily live on the 1.5 million acre Hopi Reservation in northeaster Arizona. The reservation is surrounded by the Navajo reservation. Hopis call themselves Hopitu – ‘The Peaceful People’.

Some evidence suggest that the Hopi consist of the descendants of various groups that entered the country from the north, the east, and the south, and that a series of movements covered a period of probably three centuries, and perhaps considerably longer. But what do we really know about origin of these mysterious people?

An independent researcher and author of the books “The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cities of the American Southwest” and “Eye of the Phoenix : Mysterious Visions and Secrets of the American Southwest” – Gary A. David spent 30 years of his life immersed in Native American culture and history. According to him the Hopi might be connected to many different mysterious entities, who could be called extraterrestrials today.

Who are the Ant People?

All across the American Southwest we find petroglyphs (rock carvings) or pictographs (rock paintings) depicting entities with spindly bodies, large eyes, and bulbous heads that sometimes project antennae. These eerie figures are frequently shown in a “prayer stance,” their elbows and knees positioned at right angles, similar to the ant’s bent legs.

Many claim the "ants" resemble modern-day ideas of alien life - and some believe the Hopi tribe have seen UFOs.

One of the most intriguing Hopi legends involves the Ant People, who were crucial to the survival of the Hopi—not just once but twice. The so-called “First World” (or world-age) was apparently destroyed by fire—possibly some sort of volcanism, asteroid strike, or coronal mass ejection from the sun. The Second World was destroyed by ice—Ice Age glaciers or a pole shift.

During these two global cataclysms, the virtuous members of the Hopi tribe were guided by an odd-shaped cloud during the day and a moving star at night that led them to the sky god named Sotuknang, who finally took them to the Ant People—in Hopi, Anu Sinom . The Ant People then escorted the Hopi into subterranean caves where they found refuge and sustenance.

One of the many cave and wall paintings of the Hopi Tribe depicting the Ant People - were they the Anunnaki?

In this legend the Ant People are portrayed as generous and industrious, giving the Hopi food when supplies ran short and teaching them the merits of food storage. In fact, another legend says that the reason why the ants have such thin waists today is because they once deprived themselves of provisions in order to feed the Hopi.

Sumerian figurines featuring unknown ant-like creatures

It is interesting to note there is a linguistic link: the Babylonian sky god was named Anu. The Hopi word for “ant” is also anu, and the Hopi root word naki means “friends.” Thus, the Hopi Anu-naki, or “ant friends,” may have been the same as the Sumerian Annunaki—the beings who once came to Earth from the heavens. Is it coincidence? Or evidence? Is it possible to suggest that Ant People and Anunnaki were similar beings who visited Earth in remote past to give our ancestors a helping hand?
