What If Mauro Biglino Is Right?

What if everything we’ve been taught about God is wrong?

That is the unsettling question at the center of Mauro Biglino’s work. As a former Vatican translator, Biglino was trusted with interpreting ancient Hebrew texts for official use. Once he began studying the original texts closely, he came to a startling conclusion. The Bible may not be a spiritual document after all. It may be a historical record. A record of beings not divine, but physical. Advanced. Possibly not of this world.

Here are some of his most controversial claims, shared not as fact but to provoke thought.

1.

Elohim Were Not Gods. They Were Plural, Physical, and Technological

The word “Elohim” is often translated as “God” in modern Bibles. Biglino argues that this is misleading. Elohim is a plural word. It does not refer to one being. It refers to many. These Elohim were not spiritual figures. They were flesh and blood, operating with advanced capabilities, interacting directly with early humans.

Genesis may not describe divine creation. It may describe an encounter with beings from elsewhere.

2.

Adam Was Not Created Spiritually. He Was Engineered

According to Biglino’s translation of Genesis, the phrase “Let us make man in our image” refers to a literal act of bioengineering. The Elohim did not create Adam from dust in a spiritual sense. They altered genetic material. They used their own image as a template.

Humanity may not have evolved alone. It may have been modified.

3.

The Ark of the Covenant Was Technology, Not Theology

The Ark is described in the Bible as causing strange effects. It emitted sound. It burned people. It had to be handled using specific materials and methods. Biglino believes it functioned more like a technological device than a sacred symbol.

This raises a powerful question. Was the Ark divine, or was it a piece of lost technology?

4.

Yahweh Was Not the Only Being of Power. He Was the Local One

Biglino points out that Yahweh refers to other gods in the Bible. The commandment “You shall have no other gods before me” does not deny their existence. It demands loyalty to one. He interprets this as evidence that Yahweh was one of many powerful beings, each with their own territory and people.

The origins of religion may lie in conflict, not in unity.

5.

Heaven Was Not About the Afterlife. It Was the Sky

In ancient Hebrew, the word for “heaven” refers to the sky, not a spiritual dimension. Descriptions of clouds, fire, thunder, and flying chariots could describe aerial vehicles. Biglino believes these are references to beings descending from the sky using technology, not angels floating down from paradise.

The promise of heaven may have meant physical ascent, not spiritual reward.

Why Does This Matter?

Biglino does not preach a new religion. He does not claim secret wisdom. He translates. He raises questions that disrupt tradition. His ideas are difficult to accept, especially for those raised in faith. They force us to ask hard questions about what we believe, why we believe it, and how much of that belief rests on interpretation.

Even if his conclusions are wrong, the exercise of questioning inherited stories may still lead to deeper understanding. Biglino reminds us that ancient texts are not neutral. They are filled with layers of meaning that can shift when we dare to read them with fresh eyes.

This is not about believing in aliens. It is about staying curious. It is about looking at sacred texts not just as spiritual guides, but also as cultural records from people who may have seen the world very differently from us.

Maybe the truth is not in choosing one version of the story. Maybe it is in realizing how many versions we have never heard.
