Walter has his own theory.
Modern pseudohistory

Main article: Zecharia Sitchin
In his 1976 book The Twelfth Planet, Russian-American author Zecharia Sitchin claimed that the Anunnaki were actually a race of extraterrestrial beings from the undiscovered planet Nibiru, who came to Earth around 500,000 years ago in order to mine gold.[50][51][52] According to Sitchin, the Anunnaki genetically engineered homo erectus to create modern humans to work as their slaves[50][51][52] and built all the major monuments of the ancient world, including the Egyptian pyramids.[50][53] Sitchin claimed that the Anunnaki were forced to leave Earth when Antarctic glaciers melted, causing the Flood of Noah,[54] which also destroyed all evidence of the Anunnaki's bases on Earth.[54] Sitchin expanded on this mythology in later works, including The Stairway to Heaven (1980) and The Wars of Gods and Men (1985).[53] In The End of Days: Armageddon and the Prophecy of the Return (2007), Sitchin predicted that the Anunnaki would return to earth, possibly as soon as 2012, corresponding to the end of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar.[53][52]
Sitchin's writings have been universally rejected by mainstream historians, who have labelled his books as pseudohistory,[55] pointing out that Sitchin seemingly deliberately misrepresents Sumerian texts by quoting them out of context, truncating quotations, and mistranslating Sumerian words to give them radically different meanings from their accepted definitions.[56] Nonetheless, because Sitchin worked in the shadow of Erich von Däniken's more widely publicized Chariots of the Gods?, he managed to escape the notice of debunkers,[50][52] allowing his theories to become more influential.[52] Sitchin claimed that the Anunnaki had left behind human-alien hybrids;[51][52] conspiracy theorist David Icke expanded on this by claiming that these surviving bloodlines were the "Brotherhood of Babylon",[52] a race of shape-shifting, reptilian aliens who secretly control all the governments of the world and keep humans enslaved,[52] using the Illuminati as one of their chess pieces.[52]
Personally i think its just another brand of pseudo-history, With no real evidence to support it.
I think a lot of his reactions stem from the fact that his opinions have for him, become facts.
The mythology has become real history in his minds eye. Its become a dogma for him and any challenge to it must be defended by any means possible.
I don't know is the most honest answer we have in this genre, But for walter hes satisfied himself that he does know, as per the quote above.
