 We know how the planets in the solar system got their names. We humans are the ones who named them. But one exception in the naming of the planets is that of Earth. Not only is planet Earth the only planet in our solar system not named after a Roman or Greek god. It is also the only planet that no one on Earth knows how it got its name. Isn't that strange? So the actual name Earth is thought to come from a combination of three languages in that of English, German, and Norse. It basically just means ground. Very simple, but no one actually knows who came up with the name or why was there an arrangement to start calling our home planet this universal word. Was it even us humans who came up with this name? It doesn't make sense that we don't have any answers. So the best answer we could find, you guessed it guys, we just don't know. And by we, I mean nobody in the world really has any logical idea. We actually think that the name of this planet is the name used by ancient visitors to the Earth. The name has been around as long as humanity. Can you imagine if the word Earth was in fact an alien language? The idea is thought provoking to say the least when you agree. It is also strange that the word never emerged from ancient Egypt, China or even South America or Mesopotamia. In the Book of the Dead, the pharaoh says, I am decreed to be the heir, the Lord of the Earth of Gibb, Gibb being one of the gods of the need of Heliopolis. Both the Chinese and ancient Mayans have creation stories about the emergence of the earth and human life on earth regarding other worldly creatures or gods that created or sparked life here. This would suggest that the common theory of evolution is false when it comes to human evolution. We don't think the word earth even emerged here. It is entirely possible that this is what the creators of life on this planet called our home world. Why else would it be impossible to know where the name came from? It is impossible to regard the word in any historical order and it would seem that it was already in place as civilization emerged across the globe even before we understood we were a planet in space. Crazy, right? We would love to know what you guys think on this subject. If you have any information that we have missed out or even if you have your own theory, please let us know. We are most curious. Thanks for watching.
