An alternative history of the world, based on Sumerian Historical text, that puts into question what may be currently understood. Sumerian history was recorded 2500 years before Moses wrote the Pentateuch, and lacks the religious overtones that we have been taught.By reading these blogs you will be able to go back in time and read the true history first recorded by man.
The Abzu which is often spoken of in Sumerian text, and literally means “Distant water”; ab meaning water, and zu translates, far, distant or deep. Many experts have deciphered this, as place that originates ground water. Fresh water that maintains life, with the use of irrigation, but is this the true meaning of the Abzu?
In the Hymn to Elil, the text reads.. “the Abzu which no one can understand. It’s interior is a distant sea which Heaven Edge cannot comprehend”. In the curse of Agade, the text reads.. “Abzu… where the fates are determined”. In Sumerian text the Abzu is always preceded by the article “the”, which lends the belief that the abzu is a state of being or state of mind v.s. a specific location. As an example one might say they are going to New York, a specific location, or they may say they are planning to go to “the” city, which implies a state of being, as in shopping, nite life or dinning out.
In the Sumerian text relating Inana, (Enki’s daughter) and Enki; Inana speaks, “I shall direct my steps to Enki, to the abzu, to (Eridu), and I myself shall speak coaxingly to him, in the abzu, in (Eridu). Directed her steps all by herself towards Enki’s abzu in (Eridu)…..Enki the King of the Abzu. …The lord (Enki) looked up at the abzu.”
It becomes apparent that the Abzu, is something that is a lot more than a simple source of underground water. We know that from these texts that Enki is the source of the Abzu, and it is located in his city of Eridu. Enki is also recorded in the above text, to have to look up to the see the Abzu. To have to look up in a land that is extremely flat, must mean that Enki is looking up to the top of the highest building in Eridu, which would be the temple, Ziggurat. This is confirmed by a fragmented text, of the Heron and Turtle, which reads.. “Then on the Ziggurat…King Enki was on the Ziggurat, the great brickwork of the Ziggurat…the abzu, the brickwork of the abzu.”
In the middle figure (1) above an Anunnaki is climbing the Ziggurat at Eridu ,the 7 tiers of the structure are shown as coned levels, to speak to Enki, seated on his throne to the right, which is surrounded and encased by water.(Water is indicated by long wavy lines) Notice also that on the far left and far right are his attendants with their water poles (photo below).
This is the Abzu, that Inana speaks of when she wishes to speak to Enki? The second figure on the left is a Great God coming out of the Abzu atop the Ziggurat. The Abzu here seems lined with woven reeds, the same method used to build their boats and make their roofs water tight. The reeds are needed to keep the Abzu water tight to support a pool of water. Notice that the Ziggurat is always illustrated using the same markings in each illustration, as in many rounded conical triangles. This helps the viewer in understanding the depictions.
In the figure (2) below Enki is seen climbing to the top of the Ziggurat at Eridu, followed behind by his minister Isimud (to his right). At the top of the Ziggurat, an Anunnaki is coming out of the Abzu, while water is being poured on top of him, as if exiting from a watery state. Notice again the Ziggurat illustration is always duplicated as stacked cones. Is this the location of the Abzu, that is a state of being, rather than a specific location, mentioned in Sumerian text?
If the Abzu represents a state of being, rather than a defined location atop the Ziggurat, then it must refer to a ceremony, a purification, or inauguration of some importance.
In the figure (3) above and below, we see Enki again, surrounded by a water enclosure, with his two attendants and poles, on either side of him. This depiction is seen as a top view, as if looking down from atop the Ziggurat, with Enki about to leave, his Abzu. In the curse of Agade, the text reads.. “King Enki, emerges from the Abzu.”
In the figure (4) above we see the Enki , inside Abzu, atop the Ziggurat with his 2 pole bearers. This all raises the question. What exactly is this ceremonial practice, and what is it’s purpose? The Sumerians speak of a “washing of the hands” ceremony, which occurs at the site of the Abzu or in the Abzu. If the washing ceremony occurs in the Abzu, could it refer to a full emergence into water, or through water, as a number of the figures above seem to indicate. In the creation of man text, it speaks of Enki taking clay to form man at the Abzu. In the curse of Agade text, it reads, “May your clay be returned to it’s Abzu.” This seems to indicate that “life, creation of life , or the extension of life” would have a significance to understanding the Abzu and it’s ceremonies.
In figure (5) above we see an Anunnaki emerging from the Abzu atop the Ziggurat as depicted at the very bottom of the relief. Two upturned vases are pouring water into the vases at the bottom of the relief. The Anunnaki seems to have control over the water. At the bottom of the figure are four wheels of 8 spokes. They represent the wheels at the four corners of the Chariot of the Gods, as does the other four wheels with 16 spokes. The wheel within the wheel. There is clearly a strong connection between the Chariot of the Gods, and the Abzu, which together enhances the abilities and life of the ancient Gods.
In the above figure (6), again the water is pouring from the top vases to the bottom vases as in the Abzu, while the occupant of the Abzu seems to be in a state of ecstasy and is some how connected to the Chariot of the Gods, similar to figure (5). This is very similar to the depictions of Enki and his ability to control water from his body. The Sumerians had the same word for water as for semen, which meant “the beginning of life or the renewal of life”, just as irrigated water brings life to a desert. The above figure also seems overjoyed if not in a state ecstasy while in the Abzu. The water is somehow transformed from the Chariot as it enters the Abzu. Both of the above figures are gaining a renewal of life as the water passes over them.
The real purpose of the ABZU? The Abzu is able to transform water to allow the Great Gods to extend their lives. Once in the Abzu they totally immerse themselves in it’s water. Without the Abzu the Great gods would simply have grown old like the rest of mankind and eventually died. They had to continually enter the Abzu and immerse themselves in it’s water in order to extend their lives. This is the state of being that is referred to as “entering the Abzu”. A state of rejuvenation. An exhilarating moment where water itself can be controlled and where one seems to levitate inside the Abzu. This act of growing younger is seen in an ancient Assyrian scroll shown below. An old man becomes young again as they are about to drink water from the chariot..
It’s clear that the Abzu is controlled by Enki. This is shown (figure 7 below) by how Enki is depicted in ancient reliefs. The seven stepped Ziggurat is seen as a great god approaches Enki. Enki is seen having water or controlling water from his body, with the pole bearers on either side. Enki is seen to the right atop the Ziggurat, as shown by the figure on left, and at the centre of the Abzu, with water surrounding him. (figures below shows the 2 pole attendants)
The wavy lines represent water in Sumerian drawings, and it’s this water that has been transformed by the chariot of the Gods and is about to be extracted by the figure on the left. This is the water that these Great Gods immersed themselves in the Abzu and extend their lives…This is what is represented by the Tree of life in the middle of the figure.. The water after being transformed….and now gives life.
The great god shown above is not taking water to the tree of life as many have suggested but taking this transformed water away to be used to extend their lives. This is shown by the bucket in the figures hand.
Enki’s position within the Anunnaki is greatly enhanced due to his control of the Abzu and his possession of the Tablets of Destiny. The combination of these two items which either enhance, empower or entitle each other, makes Enki a very important and powerful personage.
In the Sumerian text of the curse of Agade, Ninurto takes from Agade (capitol of the Akkadian empire) all it’s wealth, just prior to it’s destruction, to Enki’s Abzu. The text also reads that the Abzu at Agade has it’s poles removed. Thus terminating the ability or power of the Akkadian Abzu. The text also refers to the wealth of Agade’s royal throne room. This wealth is stripped from Sargon’s royal family. Where does the wealth of Agade’s Treasury end?
The text reads, “Ninurto brought the jewels of ruler ship, the royal crown, the emblem and the royal throne bestowed on Agade.” In Isaiah chapter 45, YHWH speaks of a dark and hidden place, that No man may know, where the treasures of the kingdoms of earth are hidden. After Enlil destroyed Yahweh’s political kingdom on earth, the Akkadians, and Enki took all their treasures prior to the fall of their capitol city Agade, was Yahweh retaliating in seizing many iconic earthly treasures of earthly kingdoms, just prior to their downfall? Did Yahweh seize Babylon’s earthly treasures just moments before she fell to Cyrus the Great? Isaiah 45:3, reads as if speaking to Cyrus, “And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and the hidden riches of secret places,..” The word “darkness” would refer to a fearful and forbidding place to man, while “hidden” and “secret” would refer to, No man being able to find these iconic treasures.
To name a few treasures that no man has found, would be the ark of the covenant and the Cup of Samurais, which weighed 15 talents of gold, or about 1500 lbs. This was essentially a very expensive punch bowl, for rather lavish parties. Golden icons were never melted down or destroyed in ancient times, but seen as war booty, to display over ones enemies. It wasn’t until the Greeks, that gold was a means to pay foreign trade accounts or used as a currency reserve. Prior to the Greeks, gold was basically bathroom fixtures for the ruling class. Would many of these iconic pieces, still be hidden from us?
Straw Walker12 August 2019 at 09:55Thank-you for your comment. My blogs are though related, are not like chapters in a book, I let the reader come to his own conclusion. I have put these historical blogs in a chronological order in Word Press, so they make more relative sense. ReplyDelete
Unknown21 November 2019 at 16:58this amazing article immediately reminded me of chinese internal alchemy , the spirit water or primordial steam coming down from the brain and going back from the mouth into the belly abdomen compressing into a magnetic orb a concrete spirit Orb, its obvious at this point the science came from a eastern source , the question the fascinating question is who discovered and what land of the east discovered the science of water immortality first? Straw walker , did you write this? and if you did , what books or bibliography can you give me on this fascinating history of these peculiar ananakki Sumerians ? if you have the time brother , if not all is well! thank youDelete
Anonymous26 April 2023 at 22:50I like the idea that it could be a state of mind but the whole going into the abzu so they would not age is ignoring the literature. The gods were eternal basically immortal and it was because they were created in heaven and could also grant immortality upon mortals via food of life and water of life… but Ive never read it talk about that water of life having to do with the abzu.ReplyDelete
There are four symbols that stand out as the oldest symbols of man. These symbols have been with man from the very beginning. They were NOT venerated or worshiped as a religious iconic symbol, but had a significant meaning to many. The 1st was the Omega Sign, which originated in Sumeria. The second was the Swastika, which originated in Sumaria and the Indus River valley. The third symbol was the Egyptian Ankh symbol, which was the sole symbol of the Nile Valley. The fourth was the sign of the Crescent Moon and the star of Venus which appeared in Babylon. The 5th symbol used through out the ancient world was the Shen.
The Omega
The Sumerian Omega symbol first appeared as a symbol for a medical device, because it’s use in cutting the umbilical cord of a newborn child. This soon translated into a symbol for the meaning of life, or the beginning of life, or new life. An ancient God of Sumeria, also took the Omega as a symbol to represent herself. This was the fertility god, Ninhursag. The connection to fertility, to birth, to new life is then completed, as it was of the symbol of the birth opening.
The Sumerian Omega Symbol was often illustrated with curving lines, as in the illustration above, but latter this changed to the straight lines in the Greek Omega.
This Omega symbol was also used in connection with the Chariots of the Gods, as a means of illustrating that the flow of water from the chariot as indicated by wavy lines ending with the omega indicates a life force or a renewal of life. Seen below in this Sumerian relief, is water flowing downward from the chariot of the gods ending in an Omega, which the ancient Gods of Sumaria, have in their control. In between the gods is the tree of life. This relief is portraying that the ancients were able to extend life, or give life with the use of the Omega symbol?
The wavy lines extending from the chariot to the omega is represented as water in Sumerian/Egyptian reliefs. This water, that after being transformed after exiting the chariot, is the ABZU ceremony that extents life.
This understanding would be that the Anunnaki were able to perpetuate life that was directly linked or connected to these chariots. In the Assyrian relief below it depicts two men. one old and one is much younger. An effort to depict life could be extended and the Omega was a symbol of this extension.
The Swastika
The sign of the Swastika goes back as early as 5000 BC as recorded by Sumerian pottery. The Swastika then disappears for a length of time before it reappears in the nation of the Hittites in Asia Minor, then it again disappears until it reemerges in the city of Troy. In each case with the emergence of the Swastika, a national state of emergency is evident. The people of these nations, and their culture were under military threat. Their very existence as a nation and as a people was under question, hence we see the rise of the Swastika, and nationalism. The Swastika seems to represent national pride and national unity. All three of these nations were completely destroyed by their enemies. In fact their devastation was so complete, that for many years, thousands of years, these civilizations were thought to not even exist. On the isle of Crete, the city state of Knossos, also venerated the Swastika. This was the famous society that had the labyrinth, and the creature with the bull’s head, and the national symbol of the double headed axe. This city also was abandoned and disappeared around 1300 BC with no apparent reason.
Coins found at Knossos show a Swastika emblem, which was for them was a later symbol for the labyrinth, which they were to became famous for.
Sumerian pottery dating back to 5000 BC shows the sign of the Swastika.
My only advice from the following is if you live in a region that uses the Swastika with a lot of national fervor it’s time to start packing. The Swastika is now appearing in Central Europe, which has many worried.
Henrich Schliemann, became famous with his digging to find the ancient city of Troy. From his digging emerged the Swastika. From that moment some evil emerged from that ancient pit. This symbol went on to be the national symbol for the German Nazi party, which we are all to familiar with., but like many points of history, not all is what it appears. Germany went from that point, to eventually being a nation in total ruin, very similar to the other nations that used the swastika, as their national emblem.
The story of Troy came from the stories that were sung or told as a orator tale by Homer. These tales were later written into two well known books. The tale revolves around the seduction of Helen by Paris of Troy who then takes Helen to Troy. Helen according to legend is considered the most beautiful woman in the world. This all makes for a great tale, and the premise of the tale, is why the tale has endured over the centuries. The real reason that these two mighty national groups fought, was not over a woman, but was over controlling the trade routes, from eastern Asia Minor and Asia itself, which all went through Troy. These ancient trade routes made Troy very wealthy. They were able to control the trade of goods entering the Aegean Sea, and from there to Greece.
Great nations and men fight over money and power, not women. This was true of the battle between the Achaeans and the Trojans, which lasted for over 10 years. A simple story about a war over a trade route would not of made much of a story.
The Swastika in the Indus Valley was used in the markings of doorways ( an eerie resemblance to Jewish doorways and the Torah) and the opening of account books, but it also stood for night and the Goddess Kali and magical practices. In Sumeria the Swastika also was associated with a God. Enki had a number of sons, but one son took the Swastika as his emblem. His name was Nazi
Nazi`s name and meaning can be translated by two different means, 1) its direct letter translation, and the other 2) by it`s meaning through context. The following is by context;
The Sumerian text dialogue between Enki and Ninhursag is as follows. Ninhursag fixed Enki in her vulva Brother what hurts you My jaw ( tulla)hurts me I have caused Nintulla to be born for you
Brother what hurts you My tooth (suttu)hurts me I have caused Ninsutu to be born for you
Brother what hurts you My throat (Zi) hurts me I have caused Nazi to be born for you
The text speaks of 8 children born and each child was given a gift or a reward. Nazi is given to Nindara in marriage. Whether this marriage is real or figurative is unclear, but it may help in understanding the clear meaning of Nazi, one of Enki’s sons. First Na is often a prefix in Sumerian to denote a male personage. Nin is often used to denote a female. As an example Ninlil, Ninki, Ningal are all females while, names for males start with Na.
The text itself really determines the meaning of Nazi, (Zi) which means throat or voice. So Nazi has a gift for voice, and using his consort who could easily be the same God as in the Indus valley, Kali, a full name meaning for Nazi can be understood.
Nazi`s name may really mean Voice of Darkness, Prince of Darkness, or Prince of Dark Magic. Is this the Voice of Darkness that led Germany? A voice that was able to manipulate millions into terrible acts?
Crescent Moon and Star of Venus
Nannar, the first born son of Enlil, whose Akkadian name was “Sin”, had the symbol of the crescent moon. He first appeared in the city of Ur, but later came to prominence during the time of Nabonidus the last King of Babylon. Nabonidus was the commander of the Babylonian army and was appointed as King from the ranks of his army. He was not an insider or from the Royal court of Babylon, nor was he approved by the religious clerics of Babylon. His first actions were to rebuild the temples of Sin throughout Babylon’s empire, which brought him in direct opposition to the religious leaders, who were the absolute followers of God Marduk. Throughout his reign there was this continuous resentment towards his reign and his Regent son because of this.
The Bible reports in Daniel, that Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon, but this is not the truth. Is this because Daniel doesn’t know who the king of Babylon is or can this be seen as a slight against Nabonidus, for his rebuilding the temples of Sin, instead of following the worship of Dagan/Ya?
Sin’s temple in Babylon meant, “house of joy”, and Sin was soon declared by Nabonidus as “Sin Supreme” and assumed the name Divine Crescent. In ancient Sumer the crescent moon was depicted with it’s cusps straight up, which is not seen in the Northern Hemisphere, but in latitude 30, the location of Babylon, the moon can be seen this way. Almost as a saucer with the edges pointing up. This depiction of the moon can be seen below.
The Sumerian text records that Nabonidus had help to secure the throne of Babylon. The act of a Great God assisting man had not occurred in recent memory, as the text reads, ” This is the great miracle of Sin That has not happened to the land Since the days of old”
No man in memory had seen a great God with the use of a mighty weapon assisting in man’s fate. Sin in Sumerian text assisted Nabonidus, to the throne, “using the weapon of Anu”, and for this, the temples of Sin were rebuilt.
The other notable god in Babylon was Sin’s daughter, Inanna or her Akkadian name Ishtar. The great blue gate of Ishtar, from the ruins of Babylon can be seen in Pergamon Museum Berlin.
Ishtar’s symbol was the planet Venus, which was represented by a star. Venus is the second brightest object in the night sky behind the moon, so Ishtar held an important position in the realm of gods. Ishtar was extremely ambitious and often used her famine ways to determine an outcome.
Babylon was one of the very few city states that was NOT destroyed when an invading army captured it. With rare exception, after a city is captured by an invading army it is completely sacked, and burnt to the ground. This again is in contrast to the Bible’s story. Nabonidus power came to an end, because the Royal families and the religious clerics of the city secretly made a treaty with Cyrus of Persia. The city was turned over to Cyrus, under the condition that their old religion would be restored. Babylon fell with not even a brick overturned, and the King of Babylon was sent to a distant land (Eastern Persia) to administer.
Dagan/Ya wanted the Semitic people to worship him not his long standing adversary Enlil and his offspring, Sin and Ishtar. The same old battle fought over and over again.
In our modern world of today the Crescent moon and the star of Venus can still be seen. Throughout the middle east these two symbols are still highly venerated. Just look at the flags throughout the region.
The flag of Turkey is an example of the crescent moon of Sin and the star of Ishtar.
The ancient people of Elam also show their honour to the crescent moon and star as indicated on their coins.
So who was Nabonidus? His mother is known. She was the priestess of the Moon God, Sin in the city of Harran, but nothing is known of his father except the script text that list his father “from important origins”. His family lineage is not of the previous Kings of Babylon who were Chaldean’s, who he overthrew to ascend the throne. The young King Labashi-Marduk was quickly displaced allowing Nabonidus to become King. Many accounts of his kingship seem difficult to understand but he lived for many years in the city of Tayma, and that part of his life mostly goes unaccounted for. One interest in his life seems to dominate his kingship and that is his interest in Babylon’s past and the regions many Gods.
In his reign he decreed that all statues of the Gods of the Mesopotamia valley would be moved to his capital of Babylon. This brought much distrust and hatred against his rule. He also reestablished Sin as the main God of Babylon and he restored Sin’s many temples, including the temple at Harran, and the Ziggurat at UR.
The Ziggurat of Ur, which was built and dedicated to Sin, by the early Sumerians, was restored by King Nabonidus. The text of Nabonidus reads; “finding little left, but the first stage, and nothing to guide him, as to the monuments original appearance”. Nabonidus restored the Ziggurat to it’s early structure of 7 steps.
The question still is who was Nabonidus and who was his father? Again similar to Sargon, Nabonidus was the son of a Great God, but unlike Sargon’s father Dagan, Nabonidus father was Sin. Nabonidus was probably the last great Nefilim, and Sin’s seed was in conflict with Dagan’s seed.
The Sons of Annu used this same method to control the rule of Mankind over and over again. The use of the same M.O. same plot, same plan, and same outcome. Sargon, Moses and Nabonidus all have similar life stories. Simply put the seed of a Great God in a great position of power, and then rule mankind. Was this “Modus Operandi” used again to destroy the Jewish peoples, Dagan’s seed, in the Second World War?
The next question and by far the most intriguing: Is Nabonidus still alive? We know that the Nefilim live a very long time, so is it possible that he still live? Would he be in a position of power and wealthy? Would he be a silent and unknown, almost arms length from the real seat of power? Hidden from the view of the public. So if he does exist then who would he be?
The Ankh
The Egyptian ankh was a symbol of life, or eternal life, and has recently become the national symbol of modern day Egypt in their efforts to expand their tourist trade. The Ankh is also said to mean the Key of life, or the Key of the Nile, as it is often depicted by Egyptians Kings as if they are holding the Ankh as a key. Note the illustration below.
The origins of the Ankh go back to the very beginning of Egypt, and how the design is implicated into the meaning of life is unknown. The general feature of the symbol does seem to reflect the image of Isis as seen below. Isis means “throne” which is often depicted as part of her headdress. The King of Egypt was also often shown in a relief beside her as a small child. That would indicate that she was a protector of the King, and his power.
The Coptic Christians soon took the Ankh to represent the Christian cross, but this wasn’t it’s original purpose.
If you you observe the Ankh from another perspective, it looks very much like the ancient Shen, or the Omega symbols. They all have one underlying similarity. The representation of “Life”.
The Shen
Note what is held in it’s claws, and it’s shape along with the Ra symbol above the eagles head.
The Egyptians also had representation of the cartouche that included an Omega like object (symbol) that connects man to the chariots of the Gods. This artistic representation of an eagle, that the Egyptians used in this figure below can be deciphered as;
Ra the Sun God will give life
In this case of the Egyptians, the object was the Shen, held in the claws of the eagle, that represented eternity. The Shen is made up of a rope and staff, that is also depicted in an elongated form, known as a cartouche. In the cartouche, the rope is extended to surround a King’s name. Hence Shen can also mean, “to encircle”. Both the Omega and the Shen are quite similar in appearance, and had similar meaning to these ancient people. The ankh symbol seen beside the Shen symbol also helps to understand the meaning of Shen. Ankh means to extend life or to renew life.
The ancient people of Israel also had their God that held a Shen;
Ezekiel in his vision for the rebuilding of the 2nd temple, (Ezekiel 40 2-4); he was approached by YHWH caring a Shen. “In a Godly vision,…approached by a man who had the appearance of bronze and who held in his hand a flaxen string and a measuring rod.”
The Sumerians also had a Shen like object, seen in the figure below, which was again represented by a measuring staff and rope. (Compare it to the Egyptian Shen) The Anunnaki figure holding it shows his authority in measuring mans life.
The Shen throughout the ancient peoples on various religions and ethnic groups all seemed to have a symbol, Shen, Cartouche, or the Omega that represented life.
The Sumerian text speak of their Great gods called the Anunnaki, which can have several meaning, but the Anu were the heavenly ones and Ki translates as earth, so the word Anunnaki could literally translate, “Those from heaven that were sent to earth”
Compared to the Sumerians the Anunnaki were very well dressed and groomed. Their breads were long and braided and their dress was formal and heavily embroidered.
An Anunnaki is depicted wearing formal dress and having well groomed long hair and a braided beard. This was not only how they dressed, but it was signifying their position and who they were. The early Kings of Mankind’s history copied this dress, and braided beards, to indicate their status as royal. The female Pharaoh’s of Egypt would even wore false braided beards to indicate kingship.
The image above is the King of Assyria and the King of Babylon seen while they are shaking hands. What is of note is their dress and braided breads. Their attire is solely for their royal status, copied from the Anunnaki whom they saw as the pinnacles of status.
The Sumerian text records the Anunnaki as coming from heaven to Earth, but they were definitely human. They were not spirit forms. They had the ability of long everlasting life, but they were not immortal and could die, either by accident or by combat. They seemed to enjoy the contact with mankind and enjoyed the pleasures of the women of Sumeria.
The relationship with the Sumerians took a symbiotic relationship, with the Sumerians acquiring scientific, agriculture, husbandry and mathematical knowledge from the Anummaki, while the Anunnaki received labour to irrigate and grow crops, produce beer and most importantly mine significant amounts of ore.
The Anunnaki were administrated by a council, and the council had leaders. Enki was one such great leader and his name means, En translates as lord and Ki translates as Earth. so therefore Enki was the “Lord of the Earth”. All important issues were discussed at these council meetings and agreed upon. Any criminal or civil action could also fall under the authority of the council. As a case in point of a rape charge against a high ranking Anunnaki. The girl was brought before the council and questioned, then cross examined. Similar to a modern court drama. The result was the Plaintiff was found guilty.
The first thing the Anunnaki did upon arriving on Earth was to construct a city. Enki builds what is considered the first city built on Earth named Eridu, at the southern end of the Mesopotamia valley, and in this city a temple is built. The text reads;
“Next to Anu he seated Enlil, Nintu he seated at the big side, The Anunnaki seated themselves one after the other. Enlil says to the Anunnaki: ” Ye great gods who are standing about, My brother has built a house, the king Enki; Eridu, like a mountain, he has raised up from the earth, In a good place he has built it. Eridu, the clean place, where none may enter, The house built of silver, adorned with lapis laz uli,”
The mound of the ancient city of Eridu, located in southern Iraq. There is also topographical evidence that the city once had lakes surrounding it.
One of the pleasures Enki has while living in his city, was to go for a boat ride on the lakes near Eridu,, really not much different than people today enjoying the water. Below is an ancient illustration of Enki in his boat;
Next was the construction of the temple, which was elaborate and extensive. The question is; what was it’s purpose?Modern archaeologists believe that being a temple, they must have served as a religious importance, but is this true? Others suggest ancient temples were aligned with the stars or constellations. And still others believe that they were aligned with the spring equinox or the summer solstice.
What was special about these temples that were constructed in ancient Sumerian cities, was they were not constructed for the Sumerians. Either for their use as in worship or as a centre for their culture. The temples were built for the absolute sole use of the Anunnaki. This point is very clear.
The temples were called Ziggurats, The Ziggurats were constructed of 7 levels rising above the city with their corners, not their sides pointing to the four compass direction points. There was no astrological connection to their positioning, or an alignment to the spring equinox or summer solstice. The Anunnaki were highly intelligent and didn’t require a building site to determine the approaching of spring or when summer was near. So the question still remains what were these temples built for? Below the Ziggurat at the ancient site of Ur, which had been rebuilt many times over the Centuries.
Just as Ancient Mankind copied the dress and appearance of the Anunnaki they also copied their temples. The Egyptians long before they built pyramids they built exact replicas of Sumerian Ziggurats. They were called Mastabas and like the Ziggurats they were built from clay bricks.
The Mastabas (above) had the same tier leveling architecture, in following with the Ziggurats of Mesopotamia. The Egyptians understood the style of construction but as with the Sumerians they never understood their purpose. The Egyptians determined them to be burial sites for their Kings. The Anunnaki though had no concern for a burial site since they had the opportunity for everlasting life. The ancient cuneiform text reads;
What you seek you shall never find.
For when the Gods made man they kept immortality for themselves.
The unified ruler of ancient Egyptian under King Djoser in the aerial photo above, shows his pyramid with it’s 7 steps at Saqqara. these Pyramid were built near the centre of a complex indicating their importance.
These huge structures were extremely important to the Anunnaki as many of their reliefs show them atop their Ziggurats and entering the ABZU, At the top to the Ziggurats was the temple centre piece, the Abzu and this temple was the very reason for the existence of the Ziggurat itself. The Abzu was a water immersion ceremony that was extremely important to the Anunnaki . The Anunnaki called this ceremony the ABZU. This allowed the Anunnaki to extend their lives.
Meaning of distant or deep water. Ab translates as water and Zu as distant/ deep.
The Abzu is something more than just distant water, as this text suggest; “Abzu the pure place where the fates are determined”. The Abzu was central to their very lives for without it, the Anunnaki would loose their longevity to their existence.
In the Sumerian tale of the Turtle and Ninurta, Enki sets an ambush at the gate of the Abzu, and traps Ninurta. Against Ninurta, Enki fashioned a turtle from the clay of the abzu. Against him he stationed the turtle at an opening, at the gate of the abzu.
This gate is at the top of the temple Ziggurat.
The above image shows an Anunnaki that has climbed atop the Ziggurat, (illustrated by the cone shaped objects, as if indicating the 7 tiers of the Ziggurat itself), and making entreaty to Enki seen siting at the gate of the Abzu, surrounded by water. (also illustrated as the door atop the coned Ziggurat just above the Anunnaki). Wavy lines indicate water in ancient diagrams.
These pyramid shaped temples were built wherever the Anunnaki resided on earth. In Egypt and in South and Central America some these magnificent structures still remain. Centuries later long after the disappearance of the Anunnaki, mankind chose to use them for their own purposes. These temples then became central to the religious beliefs of man. These temples then changed from their original purpose to become part of an after life and a venerated burial site for mankind. To this day archaeologists believe that the Great Pyramid was built by the Old Kingdom of Egypt as a grand burial site. A dynasty civilization that up to that point in history showed little ability to build such an empowering structure.
In 1822, the Italian Egyptologist Bernardino Drovetti discovered a mysterious papyrus document near the Thebe’s necropolis. It dates back to the Dynasty, during Ramesses II reign.
This document was called the Turin Royal Canon and speaks about Zep tepi or the First time of Osiris.
The main characteristic of this document is a long list of Kings of Egypt that ruled Egypt pre diluvian, before the thirty dynasties that scholars today officially approve. This gives rise to a much longer period of a sophisticated society living in Egypt, when the Great Pyramid was originally built. The sequence of the King’s listed, originated some 33,000 years before the dynasty age.
What gives credence to this document is that the Sumerian King List also lists ruling Kings in the Valley of Sumer, that ruled in this pre flood era. Two unrelated documents that both record the same history, make the history authentic. Scholars still do not accept this as history, but see this period as simple myths.
Who did build the Great pyramid?
Most scholars believe that Khufu was responsible for the earth’s greatest construction feat, pointing to his cartouche in the Campbell’s chamber as giving evidence.
Fig. 1 above is the existing cartouche in the Great Pyramid
Fig. 2. Below is the cartouche recorded in Vyse’s journal.
In May 27th 1837 Col. Vyse recorded in his journal a cartouche he discovered in the Great Pyramid. What is bizarre about his cartouche is that it does not spell Khufu’s name correctly, Vyse’s cartouche has since been modified in a restoration to correctly spell Khufu’s name as indicated in Fig. 1 to support the belief of the builder of the Great Pyramid. This oddity is not the most unusual detail about a King recording his name on such a magnificent structure.
The Great Pyramid has no painting, no art work, no painted drawings, no inscribed depictions and no stone cutting depicting a language or figure.
If you were a great King of Egypt; would you send someone to misspell your name in paint which fades through time, in one of the most difficult and obscure locations in the pyramid, when the whole of the pyramid is entirely bare?
Who painted this misspelled cartouche? None other than Vyse himself. He painted the cartouche of Khufu to gain for himself fame, fortune and note aridity, thus being the first to identify the builder of the Great Pyramid. If he drew the cartouche in a well known visible location in the pyramid it would have been quickly seen as a fake, but hiding the cartouche in a very difficult location would allow his fiendish plan to be accepted.
Since then, scholars have been misled to believe that Khufu was the builder of one of the seven wonders of the world. The normal evidence of the steps required to achieve such an imaginative process are lacking, and neither the physical construction nor the social philosophy behind it have no historical precedent in Egypt.
Mankind may have started over several times throughout the millenniums of time that man has existed on earth. The great period of time before the diluvian epoch, gave rise to some advanced learning, which enabled the Egyptians to build great structures. The Great Pyramid and the Sphinx were both built during this time when the Gods ruled Egypt and walked among mankind.
Many of the reliefs of the Great Gods show them having a 1/2 man half fish like appearance. In the relief above is a very common depictions showing the Anunnaki on either side of the tree of life and looking up and pointing to a chariot of the Gods. Their appearance is fish like.
Dagan picture below is seen as a fish god.
In one of the earliest known artifacts of a sculptured Anunnaki, dating around 5000 BC , the Anunnaki is wearing the horned headdress and long bread, indicating his status, but also what appears is that his skin, has a fish scale like appearance.
By about 2000 BC the Anunnaki disappeared throughout the earth. They were no longer rulers over mankind. They are losing their influence and power over mankind as man’s earthly knowledge was superseding their need for the Anunnaki. They were no longer seen as Great Gods. Man rose up against these great gods and their rulership. With the help of giants they defeated these godly rulers of peace to bring a new era of rule. The rule of man and the rule of war, Their leader was a great deceiver of mankind. That God was Dagan, the God of the Semitic people. This war brought about a permanent divide within the Anunnaki.
Dagan was marooned on the earth, by Enki’s order. After the destruction of the Akkadian nation and it’s great city Agade and just prior to the fall of Agade it’s capital, Enki orders all of it’s treasury, of this great city, to be brought to his Abzu. Enki doesn’t stop there but atop the Ziggurat at Agade the poles of the Abzu are to removed by his order, indicating that the function of the Abzu for Dagan is finished.
The text reads; “Ninurto brought the jewels of ruler ship, the royal crown, the emblem and the royal throne bestowed on Agade.” “Enki tore out its well-anchored holy mooring pole from the abzu. Inana took away its weapons.” Dagan at this point is alone, and without connection to the Abzu controlled by Enki, he is now isolated and marooned on earth. The text indicates that all the Anunnaki had turned against Dagan to destroy his Semitic seed, the Akkadians.
Dagan then becomes the driven god of the Semitic people. He makes man not the Gods, the rulers of the Earth subjugated to him alone. His ego and lust for power seeks no end.
The Bible texts indicate what he has become; The God of the Semitic Akkadians had become a God of never ending “bragging”. Isaiah 45; versus 11-21 is just one of the many examples, Job chapter 38 another. “I made the earth and I created man- I created the heavens”. There is pages upon pages of this never ending self posturing, incessant bragging. My point from all of this is; if there is a ‘One God the creator”, that sees fit to come down from his heavenly place, and speak to a lowly human on earth, which can be no more than a fly speck in relation to the Universe, then why does he have to spend an inordinate amount of time bragging to this fly speck? Does he have some personal insecurity issues, or is this an attempt by Dagan/ Yehwah to support his need and human reliance and therefore vindicate his own agenda. I just cannot imagine an omnipotent God the Creator, to feel the satisfaction of man’s approval, and the need to be worshiped. It sounds preposterous.
Is there some indication that Dagan is still alive, influencing the world, or without the Abzu his life nears it’s end.
You need to no further than see his influence.. Putin, Trump, and Netanyahu are his disciples.
Straw Walker8 September 2025 at 08:55Thank-you for your comment After I was able to decipher these ancient steles correctly I found they were not depicting art or culture, but were pictograms of actual scenes that were taking place .The Sumerians were trying to explain what they were observing. The Watchers were not called Great Gods because of their knowledge of irrigation, certified seed , or making beer. They were called gods because of their temple atop their Ziggurat. And what that temple meant. The ABZU Delete
Human history from a recorded historical view begins in the lower Mesopotamia, which means between the rivers. These two rivers are the Tigris in the north and the Euphrates in the south, which both drain into the Persian gulf. All of the major cities in ancient times with one exception, were built on the Euphrates, and none on the Tigris and for several good reasons.
The map of the Euphrates shows the ancient cities, that are no longer on the river, as the river has changed its course over time. The most important fact was that the Euphrates river facilitated itself to irrigation more so than the Tigris. The banks on the Euphrates are low and flat, while the banks of the Tigris are high, and more rugged, which would’ve meant the water from the Tigris, would have to be lifted, in order to irrigate. This also meant that the Tigris river banks were stronger not allowing the river to shift it’s course through time. This was the exact opposite to the Euphrates, which through time has seen many major changes in it’s course flowing south. Many burial mounds of cities that existed in ancient times on the Euphrates are now miles east or west of the current Euphrates. These include the cities, Babylon, Kish, Nippur, Uruk, which all at one time in their early existence, were situated on the Euphrates. Through diggings and the findings of ancient texts, it can now be determined without question, that these cities were all built on the Euphrates. This can be proved by one of Hammurabi’s texts, that describes an order to dredge the Euphrates from Larsa to Ur, “clean out the stream of the Euphrates”. Both of these cities today, do not exist on the southern Euphrates.
In comparing the ancient course of the Euphrates to the one that exists today, two very noticeable differences can be made. The middle course of the Euphrates has shifted dramatically west, while the very southerly section has shifted to the east.
The most notable geographical feature relating to the Mesopotamian valley is the flatness of the land, particularly near the Euphrates. This lends itself to intensive farming. The flatness of the valley has one very notable downside in ancient times. This was the fact that it’s large and powerful cities, were difficult to defend. There was no natural defensive obstacles that would hinder the movement of invading armies. Wars and their subsequent armies were a very common occurrence in ancient times, and they all passed through the Mesopotamian valley. The other common feature that exists throughout this valley delta, is the lack of building material. With the exception of clay to build bricks, there is no stone, so the mighty cities along the Euphrates were all built of clay bricks, which over time, turns to mounds of dirt. There is one exception and that is the city of Eridu,( considered man’s first city), which had some stone in it’s construction.
The ancient city of Eridu, one of the five preflood cities, exists today as a mere dirt mound in modern southern Iraq. Clay bricks eventually turn to dirt, and without water for irrigation, these cities were eventually abandoned.
These mighty cities of the Euphrates were in sharp contrast to the stone monuments erected by the Egyptians, which still stand today. The other downside to clay being the only building material, is that clay is the only material to write on. Hence clay tablets are all that exists today from this period, to study and learn from their culture. Though many have survived, clay tablets as a writing surface are not the most enduring. This again can be in contrast to the Egyptians who painted or carved their language onto stone. The Egyptian also wrote on papyrus, but many only exist in fragmented form today.
The first people to live in this valley were the Sumerians. They lived in the very southernmost region, bordering the Persian gulf and they called their valley, Sumer. The Sumerians were the first in human history to have a written language. Symbols or letters that represent a phonic sound is what defines a written language, which is quite different than a series of pictures to represent an event or action. They wrote their language on a wet clay,often using a stylus. This form of writing came to be called cuneiform writing. They also developed a basic law code, and a legal system using cuneiform to keep legal records.
The Sumerians had Gods. The highest of these Gods was Anu, meaning heavenly one, or God of Heaven. The Princely offspring of Anu, were called the Anunnaki, meaning born of royal blood, and these lived amongst the Sumerians in a very symbiotic relationship. Within the Anunnaki there was a counsel of leaders that directed and led the Anunnaki. These Gods had no spirit form, as the God of the Bible. They were not perfect, all knowing or omnipotent. They were of human form, had human interest, as in they liked to drink beer, and have prolific sex with the beautiful women of Sumeria. The reason they were seen as Gods to the Sumerians is that they possessed technologies, unknown to the Sumerians. These technologies and sciences were taught to the Sumerians to improve their methods of intensive farming. Simple math, and building techniques were also taught. Therefore the Sumerians called them Great Gods. In essence the Anunnaki provided the technologies and the Sumerians did the work.
The Sumerians were modest and humble which is reflected in their dress, consisting mainly of a simple tunic. They were clean shaven, and also were thought to shave their heads bare. In a more formal setting, the Sumerians would wear wigs. This form of modest dress was possibly in showing respect, as in having a humble attitude towards their Great Gods, whose dress was in sharp contrast to the Sumerians. These Anunnaki wore heavily embroidered garments similar to Roman togas, with end of the material flung over one shoulder. Their beards were long and braided, and their heads were full of wavy hair. The Annuna also wore a headdress which was the inverted horns(horn tips pointed inward)of a bull. This was evidently signaling their higher position in their order. The Sumerian men below show their simple dress appearance.
Fig. 1
The Sumerians were soon to have neighbours to the north of their valley. They were to be called Akkadians, named after their capital Akkad or Agade meaning born of Akkad. In Genesis 10:10 it mentions Akkad, pronouncing it Accad or in Greek Archad. The Akkadians were thought to have come from the south, led by their Anunnaki God, Dagan.
These Akkadians were the first Semites on earth, and not of the same race as the Sumerians. The roots of the word Semite, is semen, and seed, these people being the seed of Dagan, their God. Their language was distinctly different than the Sumerians. The Sumerian language was built, by starting with a word and building more words around that single word to develop more complex thoughts and phrases, while the Akkadian language used roots, which may or may not have any meaning, then by changing letters with the root, different meaning are derived. The Akkadian language can be likened to an early version of Hebrew and as in our English language used roots, while the Sumerian language had no language that would, living or dead, be considered close to their ancient spoken or written language. The Akkadians did not have a written language so they borrowed the cuneiform style of writing from the Sumerians. This is the reason we today can read ancient Sumerian cuneiform text. The Akkadians did a word for word translation from Sumerian to Akkadian translation. This interlineal translation was a huge advancement in knowing Sumerian culture.
Both Akkadians and Sumerians were competing for the same resources, food and land, on a very limited valley, which would have brought them into conflict. This conflict met its zenith, and turning point with the birth of an Akkadian King, named Sargon. Dagan as all Anunnaki (Great Gods), had courtships and sex with numerous desirable and beautiful females within the region, and once Dagan saw a Priestess of Kish, that was especially beautiful, he sought her, and from this relations she gave birth to an illegitimate child, who came to be called Sargon. Through a series of events her son, Sargon becomes king, and immediately, sets out to conquer the entire southern Mesopotamia , including the Sumerians. With the help of Dagan, Sargon butchers and annihilates all the neighbouring territories and city states. Before long Sargon has the great southern Sumerian city of Ur in a long protracted siege. After it’s fall and with the Sumerian victory complete, he washes his hands and sword in the Persian gulf, as if saying he’s “finished with it”, similar to Pontius Pilate washing his hands, centuries later. This then establishes the Semite kingdom as a leading power on earth, and abruptly ends the people of Sumer. Sargon’s military victories enables Dagan’s Semitic Kingdom to become the first, dominant power in earth’s history.
Early Sumerians all had one thing in common through out their many reliefs that illustrated them as a people. They were illustrated most often as naked. These illustrations depicted the early Sumerians as totally naked as they went about their daily chores. Totally without shame, similar to the Bible’s story of Adam and Eve. They appeared on these reliefs also without any facial or body hair. Even their heads were hairless.
The Sumerians above are at work serving drink and food totally naked and hairless. These early Sumerians were called, “the black headed people”, which seems to indicate, by the phrase “black headed” that they had no hair on their heads, or exactly as they were illustrated in their reliefs.
The Sumerians were in direct contrast to their Great Gods. These Gods, seen in the figure below, had enormous amounts of body and facial hair. If you look closely to their facial features, in the relief below, you’ll notice large over sized eyes, large drooping noses, and over sized ears. These features are often seen amongst the people of India and the Indus Valley. Did these Gods and their prolific sexual encounters with the women of the valleys of Indus and Sumer transfer their genes to man, that produced body hair and distinct facial features?
Native peoples today, throughout the world, are basically without body and facial hair. Native people of North and South America, along with native peoples in the Pacific Islands, do not have facial beards. The reason for this, would be that they had no direct contact with these ancient gods. Peoples that have facial hair today are from the Middle East and the India. As civilizations moved North and West, these genes came with them. Central and Western Europeans also have this gene for facial hair. Still man’s early gene that produced no head of hair, often appears as baldness, as seen in many Western European peoples.
This seems to confirm that mankind today, is a hybrid of early man and their gods. The genes of both are apart of modern mankind.
The Sumerians also had their Hero’s. Gilgamesh was the greatest. He reigned as the King of Uruk, so he was both a mythological figure and a real figure. The acts he performed distinguished his bravery, which resulted in these stories gaining mythical proportions. These elevated tales of Gilgamesh were discovered in the British Museum in 1872, by George Smith. These tablets were earlier brought to England from their discovery in the great Library of Nineveh.
Shown above is a relief of Gilgamesh, with his full facial beard, which he would have inherited from his mother a goddess. He therefore was what the Greeks referred to as a demi god, because he was half god. The genes of his mother were now part of his DNA. Notice his size compared to the Lion .
The tales of Gilgamesh and his heroic adventures, can be likened to a Greek Heroes. The Greek tale of Jason and the Argonauts describes his adventure into the Black Sea in search of the golden fleece. The account is so well described that it allows modern readers of the tale to follow his exact travels. This is similar to the tale of Gilgamesh. His great adventure likewise can be followed, as if on a tourist map, as he slays evil and monsters alike.
The Tale of Gilgamesh also has an entirely different twist. In the Book of Enoch; which has several books including The Book of the Giants, Gilgamesh is mentioned twice. The only time his name is mentioned outside of cuneiform text. His name mentioned twice from two completely unrelated sources points to him being an actual personage. The text from the Book of Giants; the giants are discussing a dream;
1 concerns the death of our souls [ . . . ] and all his comrades, [and Oh]ya told them what Gilgamesh said to him 2[ . . . ] and it was said [ . . . ] “concerning [ . . . ] the leader has cursed the potentates” 3 and the giants were glad at his words. Then he turned and left [ . . . ]
Gilgamesh is a hero figure, as in Sumerian text, but in the Book of Giants, the opposite is true. He is part of the Nefilim (giants) and monsters, that inhabit the earth and bring ruin and evil upon it’s people. Quite a shocking difference. In the Book of Giants it states that 200 Gods (watchers) came down to earth and had relations with earthly women and animals that produced offspring, that were called giants and monsters. Book of Giants reads;
they defiled [ . . . ] 2[ . . . they begot] giants and monsters [ . . . ] 3[ . . . ] they begot, and, behold, all [the earth was corrupted . . . ] 4[ . . . ] with its blood and by the hand of [ . . . ] 5[giant’s] which did not suffice for them and [ . . . ] 6[ . . . ] and they were seeking to devour many [ . . . ] 7[ . . . ] 8[ . . . ] the monsters attacked it.
In the Sumerian account it speaks of 300 gods, (annunaki) that come down to earth, and administer the fate of man. A certain Sumerian does run with wild animals and has sexual relations with them, but this is frowned upon by Gilgamesh and the other Sumerians. Gilgamesh then takes necessary steps to stop these illicit acts. This is one of the discerning points of Enoch’s account and the Sumerian account, and the Bible’s account is the resulting offspring between man and gods were described as Giants. While the offspring from the gods and animals are described as monsters. Stated ” they begot giants and monsters”
Gilgamesh, though seen as a Sumerian hero, but still is definitely a Nefilim, controlling the fate of man, taking what he wants, including wives for himself. Sumerian test reads;
“Gilgamesh did not allow any virgin to be together with the one she loved,”
In the Bibles account this offspring, between man and gods, is sinful, and leads to ruin, that must be destroyed and removed from the surface of the earth. The question that the Book of Enoch raises is would man cooperate with the Nefilim ? As the Book of Enoch suggests there is an eventual conflict, between man and the Nefilim against the Gods.
In the dreams that the giants are having, it would point to their destruction. They become frightened and ask Enoch to interpret their dreams. Enoch tells of their fate, which is the result of the ruin that they have brought upon the earth.
These two varied accounts really illustrate the Bible’s religious view of good v.s. bad, sex and it leads to sin, which is in contrast to the Sumerian account which is the idea of miscegenation alters mankind. Conflict though, would soon arise.
The Sumerians had a counting system based on 60, (10 and 6). This seems rather difficult in calculations, but this system, has given us the 60, in seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour. The Sumerians also had a rather developed legal system, and the one significant thing we still use from them today is the seal. Any legal document had to have seal before it was considered legal. This carried on down through Roman times and even today. That little red dot beside your signature on a legal document, is from the Sumerian seal.
The Sumerians left us with our first written language, our first legal code, and an insight into mankind’s earliest developments of civilization.
To the north of the Sumerians came a new race of people The Akkadians. These people were not of the same race or seed as the Sumerians, but were the first Semitic people on earth. They were to be called Akkadians, named after their capital Akkad or Agade meaning born of Akkad. In Genesis 10:10 it mentions Akkad, pronouncing it Accad or in Greek Archad. Their God was Dagan as Akkadians were primarily monotheist. Dagan was an extremely diminutive god of the Sumerians, but rose quickly to power as God of the Akkadians. The rise of the Akkadians as a military power, and an economic force can be attributed to their King. This King line would not only prove to be militarily aggressive, but very short lived.
In the Nineveh tablets, it speaks of a Great King, called Sargon. The text is in the first person, as if Sargon is speaking. “ My mother a high priestess conceived me, in secret she brought me forth. She placed me in a basket of reeds, she closed my entrance with bitumen, she cast me upon the river.” He tells of his birth, which is illegitimate from a royal priestess. He never knows his father, but his mother is ashamed and makes a basket out of reeds, which she puts her baby in, then seals the cover with bitumen. She then puts the basket in the Euphrates river, near the palace, where the palace gardener finds him. Sargon himself says he is the son of a gardener. Before long, Sargon is chief cup holder to the King, and then through a series of events becomes King. From that point on Sargon starts a war of domination over the entire Fertile Crescent.
Moses also would have studied Sargon, who was well respected and admired in ancient times, particularity by the Babylonians who saw him as a prototype, of kingdom building.
In Moses own account in Exodus 2:1-3 it compares as, “But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.” Notice the account of Sargon and the Bibles account of Moses are exactly the same, even the the use of bitumen on the reed basket is the same, with the only difference being the river Euphrates being exchanged for Nile.
Was Moses too quick to transcribe Sargon’s birth account without fully aware that bitumen does not exist in the Nile delta? The lower Sumer valley, today known as Kuwait, has a large supply of bitumen that seeps through the ground, from Kuwait’s large oil deposits. The ancients used this heat source to smelter copper, gold and their most sought after metal, bismuth, which they mined in the neighbouring regions. Ancient people in the area also used bitumen as mortar in their temple construction.
processional street
Figure above; These are the original tiles unearthed in Babylon’s main street. These tiles used Bitumen as grout which is still visible.
Contrary to Moses account, bitumen does not exist in the Nile river or the Nile delta. In Moses haste to plagiarize Sargon’s birth account he failed to realize that the Nile and the Euphrates have a different geology. A simple mistake, but with huge ramifications.
Sargon the Great, as soon as he became King of Aggad, set about to become totally different in every aspects to the Sumerians, the peoples to the south, as if to mock or defy them. The Sumerian had a long and symbiotic relationship with their Great Gods, the Anunnaki. In contrast Sargon wishes to distance himself from this working relationship. Sargon imposes a new posture of defiance to the Anunnaki and their counsel. This is in total contrast to the Sumerians who were in compliance to working with the Anunnaki. Sargon now shows by his fractious behavior, that he is against the existing Anunnaki arrangement. He now dresses as if to copy the Anunnaki, wearing the same toga style clothing, and wearing his hair long, with the long braided beards that the Anunnaki have long worn to identify them as who they are and their position on earth, as if to defy his authority. Sargon even goes further in his act of being total presumptuous against the Anunnaki and that is to wear the head dress of the Annuna, the inverted horns, signifying their exulted position. No one previously in history has ever acted in such a manner of total rebellion, and disregard against the Anunnaki.
Sargon now calls himself the, “anointed priest of Anu”. These acts of presumptuousness were now magnified by Sargon’s military conquest of the Sumerian people, who the Anunnaki had a long and peaceful relationship with. The great Sumerian city of Uruk, probably the most populated city on earth at that time, was sacked and is walls dismantled, while the city of Kazalla was put to a state of total waste, that is said, “that a bird could not find a perch.”
Naram-Sin, his grandson, takes these acts of defiance a step further, by giving himself the title, Master of the Universe, and proclaiming himself a God. He is the first King in history to deify himself. For a King of earth to proclaim himself master of the universe is a direct act of contempt against the Anunnaki.
We know now that Dagan their God, was apart of this rebellion, that Dagan had assisted Sargon and his King line in their quest for an earthly Kingdom of Semites. Sargon’s own testimony states he visited and worshiped at the Holy Temple at Tuttul, the temple of Dagan. Dagan was called in the diggings at Mari, from those recovered cuneiform texts, the “Creator of Heaven and Earth”.
Does this sound familiar? Psalm 134:3 says that Yahweh is the “Creator of Heaven and Earth.” From an almost unknown God at the time of the Sumerians, to now being the Creator of Heaven and Earth is quite a step up the ladder of expectations. Dagan wanted to extend his power and those that worshipped him, by using the forces of Sargon and his family line. Sargon’s grandson Naram-Sin extended this dynasty of further conquests, but one conquest grabbed the attention of the Anunnaki, and they finally awoke to these Semite wrongdoings. This act was the destruction of the city Nippur and the sacking of the temple to Enlil, whom was the head of the Anunnaki counsel. This finally brought the condemnation of the Anunnaki against the Akkadians. The Sumerian texts speaks of a curse that was brought upon the Akkadians for their murderous acts. For many years this was thought to be a myth, but recent discoveries from diggings have proved much of this to be true. This is evident from the dig site at Tel LeiLan, which points to a drought that may have lasted upwards to 300 hundred years. This city was abandoned and from the soil samples, of a large layer of fine wind blown sand, there appears to be no human activity, for a long extended period.
Text reads: “For the first time since cities were built and founded
The great agricultural track provided no grain
The inundated tracts produced no fish………
People were flailing themselves for hungry”
This was called the Curse of Akkad, and now can be proven that the land, came under a large protracted drought, that lasted for many years. Enlil though, would take further steps to stop these Akkadians, in their destructive path.
The Sumerian text reads: “Enlil the roaring storm that subjugates the entire land, the rising deluge that cannot be confronted, was considering what should be destroyed in return for wrecking of his beloved E-kur…..Enlil brought out of the mountains those who do not resemble other people, who are not reckoned as part of the land. The Gutians, an unbridled people, with human intelligence, but canine instinct and monkey’s features.”
As history cannot dispute, the Gutian hordes came through the land of Akkad, and annihilated the seed of Dagan. The King line of Sargon was terminated with the death of the son of Naram-Sin. The Akkadians brief history as the dominate political force was short lived. Their great city of Agade was so completely destroyed, that it has never been found to this day, or even any evidence where that city might have been located. So total and complete was the destruction, that it ended Dagan’s attempt to have his seed become the masters of the world, at least for a time.
This all seems to be confirmed, by the Sumerian King List, which kept records of the Kings and their reigns. After the death of Car-Kali-carri, son of Naram-Sin, the King List states, “Who was King, Who indeed was King.” This indicates that there was a period after the end of the Sargon King line, that the entire area fell into political turmoil. No central government, and no ruling power or authority. With Gutian hordes sacking city after city, and the region confronting a drought of mammoth portions, it must have been a difficult period to exist.
The Sumerian text speaks of a “star” they refer to as Nibiru, the star of Marduk. The actual meaning of Nibiru translates, “place of crossing”, and as many Sumerian words have more than one meaning, Nibiru can also mean a crossing place, as in a road juncture. When Nibiru is used as “star” it is superscribed with a “Mul”. Mul in Sumerian means a heavenly body, such as a star, planet or constellation. Planets in Sumeria also had a connection to a God, so Nibiru was also superscribed with a “d” which refers to the Sumerian word dingir, or god. Even today the planets are named after ancient gods, a practice that came from the Sumerians.The location of Nibiru and colour of the star, is also stated in Sumerian text.
“red star which stands in the south after the Gods of the night have been finished, dividing the sky in half, this star is Nibiru “.
“let Nibiru be the holder of the crossing place of the heaven and of the earth”.
From these texts it seems apparent that if your near the equator, as the region of Sumer was, and you look directly south, in the early morning sky, (after the Gods of the night have finished), then a red star is seen, as if it stands at the cross roads, dividing the southern sky. Hence the name given to the star Nibiru refers to its position in the southern sky, as midway when looking south.
Many experts of of Sumerian text, have miss interpreted, the following two texts, in believing that Nibiru is either the planet, Mercury or Jupiter. That was not the original purpose of the text.
“If Mercury divides the sky and stands there, (It’s name) is Nibiru”.
Notice the word “if” precedes Mercury, to show distinction between the two “stars”. What the writer was trying to convey, was that early Sumerians were often confused between these two stars, Mercury and Nibiru, (possibly because they were seen in close proximity to each other or their similar colour) so the text was telling the observer, was that if the star looks like Mercury, but stands fixed in the middle of the southern sky, it’s not Mercury, but it’s Nibiru.
“When the stars of Enlil, have finished, one big star, although it’s light is dim, divides the sky in half and stands there, that is the star of Marduk, Nibiru; Jupiter it keeps changing it’s position and crosses the sky.”
Again the writer of these texts is trying to distinguish these two “stars”. Nibiru continues to perplex the Sumerians, in that it looks like a planet, but unlike planets, it is fixed in the southern sky (stands there). The text is comparing it’s movement to Jupiter, which crosses the sky. These texts are not as many suggest, referring to Nibiru as being Mercury or Jupiter, but are simply comparing Nibiru to these two planets.
It can be said that Nibiru does not exist in our present day southern sky , so what was Nibiru? There is only four things in our solar system that move across the sky, and they are, planets, moons, comets and asteroids, but Nibiru is fixed in the sky. So by simple elimination, Nibiru cannot be any of these four. So what were the ancient Sumerians seeing in their southern sky?
There is no Sumerian text linking Nibiru and the Anunnaki. There is no text suggesting that Nibiru is the “home planet” of the Anunnaki. There is one piece of coincidence, and that both the Anunnaki and the star Nibiru both vanished from existence soon after the flood occurrence.
My two theories; and they may seem remote to some:
1)That Nibiru was a planet. For some reason this planet exploded and is now seen as the asteroid belt. The Anunnaki were therefore destroyed along with it. It seems to be the simple answer and explains everything.
A German astronomer, Heinrich Olbers, in 1807, in his effort to find the 7th planet, using Bode’s Law, found 2 asteroids instead. He would later remark;
“Could it be that Ceres and Pallas are just a pair of fragments…of a once greater planet which at one time occupied its proper place between Mars and Jupiter?”
Could it be these 2 planet like asteroids were at one time Moons of a planets that is now seen as the asteroid belt.
The asteroid belt falls in the region, as predicted by Bode’s Law, that should support a planet. Is this the 7th planet, that once existed, the ancients saw, and described in their skies? Those that continue to disregard this, often point to the fact that the asteroid belt’s total mass is too small to account for a planet. That’s a valid point, but one must consider that most of the planet’s material would have been consumed by the Sun, and a large amount collided with the planets and moons of the solar system. Also a large number of Trojan asteroids follow each planets orbits. The Earth, Jupiter, and Uranus all have pilot or Trojan asteroids.
The point of intrigue is that the Sumerians knew of 5 planets, from Mercury to Saturn. Not counting Earth, but they always visualize 7 planets in their art. The point is if Nibiru was a planet, and with the Earth included, that would give them their 7 known planets up to including Saturn.
Below the ancient Stela of Adad-Nirari found in Iraq in 1967, showing at the upper left, the seven orbs representing the seven known planets, and though to also represent Enlil, the symbol of the crescent moon representing Sin and the 8 pointed star of Venus venerating the Goddess Ishtar. The upper right is the winged chariot of the Gods, and a number of symbols representing various Gods. All these symbols are reproduced over and over again in these ancient reliefs and steles.
The stela of Sennacherib below shows the King standing before the symbols of the Great Gods including the winged Chariot of the Gods and the 7 planets.
2nd) The Star of Civilization An Ancient star existed in the Southern sky, that was thought to begin the advancement of mankind’s knowledge. From the study of this star early mankind developed mathematics and science. A star is basically a fusion reactor, taking two hydrogen atoms with the help of tremendous heat and pressure, producing a Helium atom. As the giant furnace runs out of hydrogen atoms a super giant red star is produced. A super giant red star is very bright and very large. Over 1 million times brighter than a sun and over 1000 times larger. This giant state lasts for a considerable time until this giant red star goes supernova. It explodes and disappears. This results in expanding gas that often forms into recognizable nebulas.
The Vela Supernova exploded some 11,000 to 12,000 years ago, and all that’s left is some expanding gas that can be seen today is the Pencil Nebula as seen below.
What is of interest in this Supernova is that it exists low in the southern sky over the Persian Gulf, mid way across the southern heavens. Prior to going supernova this red giant star would have been very visible from ancient Sumeria. Brighter and larger than Venus. Vela Supernova is very close to earth, being only 800 light years away.
The existence of this giant red star is collaborated by the Sumerians calendar which began in 10,800 BC and the Sumerian wrote extensively of this red “star” that was fixed at the cross roads of the southern sky. Not a planet, but a red star that now no longer exists..All this points to the fact that Nibiru was that giant red star of Vela before going Supernova, that the Sumerians wrote about.
Nibiru was not a Sumerian myth or children’s story, but it existed and was studied by the Ancients.
The people of Agade, the first Semitic people on earth brought about many changes. A number of their advancements are still with us today.
The one that the Hebrews/Jews (Semites of today) still use today, is the Akkadian calendar. The Akkadians used a lunar calendar, and the names of each of the 12 months are exactly or nearly exactly the same as used today by the Jewish calendar. N.B. ( Early lunar calendars had 12 months, but later a transition month was added). As Akkadian is the root language of Hebrew.
As an example;
Hebrew language Akkad language
First lunar month, Nissan Nissannu
2nd Iyar Ajaru
3rd Sivan Sivanu
4th Tammuz Tamuzu
5th Av Abu
An interesting point pertaining to the Jewish calendar is that year “one” in their calendar is the year 3760 BC, or to give an example the year 1996 is the year 5756 in the Jewish calendar. The significance of the year 3760 BC to the Jews is that they believe this is their 1st year of their creation. The first year of their kingdom on earth. Some Jews will contend that this is the first year of the creation of earth, but no one really believes that human or Earth’s history began at 3760 BC.
What makes this year important, is this year also coincides to the same year that Naram-Sin proclaimed himself God and Master of the Universe, as the King of the Akkadian Semite people. This year of Naram-Sin can be verified by the cuneiform texts, now existing in the British Museum, of Nabonidus. The tablet states that a period of 3200 years elapsed between Nabonidus finding Naram-Sin’s memorial temple foundation stone at Sippur, and the burial of that stone.
Further reading: Blog; The Akkadians
The following text is from the cylinder of Nabonidus; I removed the debris of that temple, looked for its old foundation deposit, dug to a depth of eighteen cubits into the ground and then Šamaš, the great lord, revealed to me the original foundations of Ebabbar, the temple which is his favorite dwelling, by disclosing the foundation deposit of Naram-Sin, son of Sargon, which no king among my predecessors had found in three thousand and two hundred years.
This would mean in 3760 B.C. at the height of Naram-Sin’s reign, he decided to rebuild this important temple. This event then coincides with the beginning of the Jewish Semitic lunar calendar as year one. An interesting fact connecting modern Semitic people and those that lived and died centuries before.
Nabonidus began his reign what many suggest in the year 556 BC, and shortly afterward began his reclamation of ancient temples. By simply adding 555 years to 3200 years, the year 3755 BC is noted, which is very close to 3760 BC, and right in the middle of Naram-Sin’s military conquests.
The Deification Ceremony of Naram-Sin could of have been combined as part of the completion of a temple, or the beginning of the temples construction. This is a very significant event/date that he would have chosen to celebrate as year one on the Akkadian Calendar, which all Semitic peoples down to this day recognize.
Many experts have disagreed with Nabonidus dating of Naram-Sin’s account, stating that his records have to out by some 1500 years to correspond to their own dating of these accounts.
When 2 authorities;1st the King of the Akkadians and 2nd the King of the Babylonians verify the exact same date, then it must be true.
The question is how could Nabonidus calculations be out by 1500 years, ( a very large number), when he was party to the study of Babylon’s History? A study that he took very seriously using Babylon’s ancient libraries, and as the text suggests, many of his predecessors did likewise. These libraries of ancient cuneiform writings that are not available for today’s scholars to examine. L.King’s bell weather book; History of Summer and Akkad, published 100 years ago, discusses these very points.
The year that Naram-Sin, the first King to be deified, and his Semitic people proclaimed their King, was now named the Master of the Universe, is the same year that the Jewish Calendar appoints as year one. This is a clear indication of discovering the true Jewish history and their first god Dagan.
This dates the early civilizations 1500 years older than most modern historians believe.
The famed Egyptologist Sir Alan Gardiner, was able to determine the exact date of the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt. His research has long been overlooked particularly by religious fundamentalist, but it still stands today as the most reliable method of dating the Exodus.
The above Egyptian drawing show mud bricks being made, and stone being carried for temple construction.
In Moses account regarding Egypt, he uses the word Pharaoh, as a name for the King of Egypt, throughout his account, but was this always the case? The Egyptian word Pharaoh literally means, “Great House”, and for much of Egyptian history, it was applied only to the Palace of the King of Egypt and not as a personal name. It wasn’t about until 1350 BC or at the time of King Akhenaten that the word Pharaoh first appears to name the King of Egypt and not the Palace.
The very first time that Pharaoh was used as King, was in a letter to Akhenaten. This is a definite key testament that Moses stood before Akhenaten, because at no time in previous history is the King of Egypt called Pharaoh, and Moses calls him Pharaoh. As the famous Egyptologist , Sir Alan Gardiner states, “The earliest certain instance where Pharaoh refers to the King is in a letter to Akhenaten, which is addressed; “Pharaoh, the Master.”
Moses inadvertently calls all Kings of Egypt, Pharaoh, including the Pharaoh at the time of Joseph, but this was not historically correct. The Qur’an gets this correct, by calling this early King, the King of Egypt,(Qur’an 12:43) and the King of Egypt during the time of Moses as the Pharaoh of Egypt(Qur’an 7:104). From this simple account of Moses identifying the King of Egypt, at the time of the Exodus, as Pharaoh Akhenaten, the date for Exodus can be determined. This simply fact now dates the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt to 1346 B.C.E.
This date is further reinforced by an ancient stele of Egypt.
The Merneptah Stele
This ancient stele was discovered in 1896 in Thebes, and now resides in Cairo at the Egyptian Museum. The stele venerates a battle won by the Egyptian Pharaoh Merneptah over a Libyan King and it’s territory to the North.The text reads,”Not a man of them was left remaining,” The text also suggests that the Libyan force was made up of some mercenaries from Israel, The catalogue of the battle enumerated among the killed 6,365 that were uncircumcised, and 2,370 circumcised; also 9,376 prisoners. Ancient victorious armies would often cut off the ends of the penis of their dead enemies to have an official count. Hence, as in this battle, they would know that their enemy was made up of Hebrews.
The text also describes a further military campaign into Canaan. In this text the name “Israel” is used. It’s the only occurrence of this name in Hieroglyphics.
The stele’s text describes that some of Egypt’s vassal cities in the region are either in revolt, or they are being harassed by the national group refereed to as Israel. The Egyptian military then goes on to destroy the Israelites. The Egyptian text reads; is often written backwards, from right to left, but the text in this case is read from left to right.
Decoded it means word for word; Israel (foreign people) waste (negative) seed his/it The use of the word foreign people also means nomadic people, or those without a city. This was something the Egyptians would have found militarily difficult, because without a city there was nothing to destroy.
This text would translate: The nomadic people of Israel and it’s seed were laid to waste. This strongly suggest that the people of Israel were considered a people or a tribe and NOT a nation. This is also confirmed by the Bible accounts that the Hebrews spent a considerable time as a nomadic people.
More importantly the Merneptah Stele dates this nomadic people of Israel after their great exodus from Egypt. The stele was recorded within a few years of 1200 BC.
After leaving Egypt in 1346 BC, the Hebrews wondered the desert for 40 years, (building and training an army) and finally entered the Land of Canaan after another period of 15 plus years of travel from Egypt, then after a period of 90 years in the land of Canaan, they were still in desperate military battles to rise above a nomadic people and build their first city. This all fits (after adding these periods) into the puzzle of dating these wayward sons of Egypt and their Exodus from Egypt.
Dagan rose from being an almost unknown god amongst the Great Gods of Sumeria, to becoming the predominant god of the Semitic Akkadians. Dagan rose to power by victory. Dagan assisted Sargon and especially Sargon’s Grandchild Naram-Sin, to defeat their enemies, and enable their Akkadian empire into a position of world power. In the great Stele of Naram-Sin, Naram-Sin is seen looking up to what the underlying text calls the great weapon of Dagan.
The text reads; “Naram-Sin slew the Arman and Ibla with the weapon of the God Dagan, who aggrandize his region”. Take note of Naram-Sin in the stele above as he gazes upward at this great weapon. The weapon is a four wheel chariot with the two wheels on one side extending outside of the relief. If you look even closer you will observe that at the end of each axle are two wheels, one inside the other. This is the weapon of the the god Dagan.
Also note that Naram-Sin also worshipped the God Sin, who was a powerful ancient God.
This is exactly what the prophet Ezekiel saw in the famous appearance of Ezekiel’s chariot. Ezekiel 1: 16 states; “The appearance of wheels…. and the four had one likeness and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel”. Dagan, the Sumerian word, and later Yahweh, the Akkadian/Hebrew word were the same god.
The prophet Daniel saw these chariots as, “the chariots of the gods”. The prophet Elisha was surrounded by “chariots of fire.” They were depicted throughout the regions of Sumeria, Akkadia, Babylon, Persia and Assyria , for several thousand years.
Again, above we see the same Anunnaki throne/chariot leading an army to victory. This relief is in Persia, at the famous site of Behistun, depicting Darius the Great’s victories, after the death of Cyrus. It appears the Anunnaki took an active part in the wars of man.
Another great example of this interference by the Anunnaki in the wars of man is when the Assyrians defeated the 10 tribes of Israel and commemorated that event by raising the famous Black Stele, seen below. In the middle bottom of the stele is Jehu, the King of Israel, who is seen in bonds, and above this figure is the Great weapon of the Anu, the chariot of the Gods of Anu, which assisted in Jehu’s defeat.
In the figure above the Anunnaki are seen here on either side of the tree of life, with their Chariot of the Gods above them. Many historians have determined that this throne chariot, seen above the tree of life, is really an ancient Sun God, but when has a Sun God taken two hitchhikers, on a ride. This depiction done by the Sumerians of a chariot of the Gods was drawn from what they observed, not some mythological Sun God. The Anunnaki on either side of a tree of life, with the throne /chariot above them , is repeated over and over in their reliefs.
An art form of an ancient “Chariot of the Gods” depicted below, was drawn or engraved on nearly every early stele from the time of Sumeria to the Persians covering a period of several thousand years. In most cases the images carried one or more personnel, had wings to indicate flight, and also indicated a wheel within a wheel of eight spokes. Take special notice, the eight spoked wheels on the stele of Naram-Sin and the chariot below are drawn exactly the same. Drawn just behind the figure with the bow.
The Sumerian relief below shows a Great God riding a four wheeled chariot, with the ability of flight, as shown by the flying sphinx. Just above the chariot is an illustration that demonstrates that the chariots has the ability to launch or throw lightning bolts. Also the lion seems to be throwing destructive flames out of it’s mouth. These chariots of the Gods were often an integral part of the wars of man.
Dagan changes his name to Yahweh
In ancient times it was customary to have the names of major cities, and the names of Kings reflect the Gods they worshipped. The word for this is theophoric names. In the royal house of Larsa, their king was named Nur-Dagan, or in the royal house of Isin, 2 kings were named after Dagan, Iddin-Dagan, and Isme-Dagan, the later even went further, to call himself the son of Dagan.
In the Bible the son of King David is named Baalya or Bealiah which means Baal is Ya or Yehovah is Baal. Baal being named the son of Dagan and who were both worshipped by the people throughout the land of Canaan. Ya is an abbreviation of Yehovah. This to many bible scholars is a paradox, in linking Dagan and Ya, but it points to the fact that both are the same person.
The name Israel contains the letters of the supreme god of the Egyptians “RA”, and the Supreme God of the land of Canaan “El”, signifying that they were part of the Hebrews past and present worship.
In early Mesopotamia, two Kings, Yahdun-Lim and Yasmah-Addu both show the recognizable theophoric connection to Yehovah, (YA) and both were exclusive worshippers of Dagan. One calling himself the Governor of Dagan. Yahdum-Lim , the King of Mari, in present day Syria, is quoted in cuneiform text recovered from the diggings in Mari, “Yahdum-Lim King of Mari, The God Dagan proclaimed my kingship, who controls the banks of the Euphrates, and gave me a mighty weapon that fells my royal enemies.”
Again Dagan and the use of his mighty weapon, that destroys the armies of man, is mentioned. This was the very same weapon used with Naram-Sin, for his territorial expansion. Mari, Yadhun-Lim’s capital, has extreme importance today, in that of nearly 25,000 cuneiform texts, were unearthed there.
Yasmah-Addu, was one of the 2 sons of the King of Assyria, the other being Ishme-Dagan.
Yasmah-Addu ruled in Mari, while his brother and Father ruled the other 2/3rds of the empire. Dagan as their God, is recognizable in their names, along with the use of Ya, and a son of Dagan, named Addu.
A neighbouring city to Mari, in Syria is Ebla, which in the mid 60’s was unearthed by an Italian archaeologist by the name of Pettinato. In his diggings he discovers some 20,000 cuneiform texts.
Tablets discovered at Ebla, which is in northern Syria.
Some of which would drastically change the image of the early near east. Pettinato discovers the divine name Ya, later to emerge as YHWH or Yahweh. The Sumerian name was Dinger Ya-ra-mu, translated God Ya-ra-mu. He also makes a discovery that the letters “EL” are being changed to “YA” at this time in history. EL being the senior deity of the Canaanites to Ya the God of Moses. Pettinato notices that in the translation of the word Mikail, that those now living in Ebla have translated the spelling to Mikaya. For some reason there is a shift in spelling and pronunciation to “YA” in these cities that worship Dagan. It would seem that with the change of worship to a new God, the spelling names of cities and important locations also has to be changed. Both of these cities along with Dagan’s major temple at nearby Tuttul were major centres of worship for the God Dagan.
As the Akkadian Empire expanded and controlled the majority of the Fertile Crescent, so to did the expansion of worshiping their God.
Fig10. The below coin from the 4th century BC, is from the location of modern day Gaza, honoring their God which is translated from 3 letters (YHW). Many believe, these are the people, the Egyptians referred to as the “Sea People”, descendants of early Phoenicians, whose water God was named, Yam-Nahar. Notice the cherub winged throne chariot, that is also evident in Ezekiel’s vision of Yahweh’s throne chariot.
The texts below are from the three tablets of Sin-mubalit, Hammurabi’s father, translated by Deilitzsch in 1902. This text predates Abraham.
The question is why would Dagan change his name to Yahweh? The answer to that is quite simple. When a God is declaring himself, as Dagan had, the “Creator of Heaven and Earth”, it is difficult for him to convince his seed of that when, Sargon and the Kingdom of Agade, had been completely wiped out. Not exactly an all powerful, all omnipotent, all knowing God. Dagan will take time to rebuild his seed and to reestablish his earthly kingdom, but he would not use the name Dagan. If Dagan used his name, it would enable his seed to look back and examine at his past failures. Nearly 2 millennium later his Semitic kingdom is led by another strong central figure very similar to Sargon. His name being Moses.
The underlying question in all of this, is why? Why is there this aggressive, confrontational attitude between Dagan and Enlil, the head of the Anunnaki Council? The answer is one of the oldest stories known to man. Both Dagan and Enlil are having relations with the same women. According to Sumerian text both are married to the same women, but are the Sumerians really aware of the fact that one is married and the other is having an affair. Exactly which one is married, has brought some confusion to this ancient story, but from this, centuries of conflict arise. To most modern experts studying ancient Sumeria, this is quite a paradox, of having both Gods, being married to Salas. Salas is said to be married to the Storm God, who is Enlil in Sumerian text, but also to Dagan, but if we look closely at Enlil, he already has a consort, Ninlil, so it appears that Dagan is the god on the short end of the stick. This all adds testimony and credence to Dagan’s extremely aggressive nature towards the people of the Sumer valley, some of which are the direct seed of Enlil. Love and hate, the oldest game on earth.
The True History of Ancient Civilizations/Sumerians/Akkadians/Egyptians
An alternative history of the world, based on Sumerian Historical text, that puts into question what may be currently understood. Sumerian history was recorded 2500 years before Moses wrote the Pentateuch, and lacks the religious overtones that we have been taught. By reading these blogs you will be able to go back in time and read the true history first recorded by man.
Was the Book of Genesis Just a Cheap Copy of the Original Sumerian Text?
The Account of Moses
Who was Moses as an Historical Figure? We all know Moses as a Biblical figure, often considered “God’s Greatest Prophet”, but are many of our preconceived notions actually true?
All of us know Moses as a Biblical character, but who was Moses in a historical sense, and who were the Pharaohs of the Exodus account? Moses wrote the 1st five books of the bible known as the Pentateuch, but where did he get the ideas for Genesis? My personal interest in Moses as a historic figure rather than a Biblical figure was nurtured, after reading hundreds of translated Sumerian clay texts. The similarity between Moses account of the creation, of the Earth and Man’s beginning, and the Sumerian ancient text cannot be denied. Was the Pentateuch then inspired from God, as we were all taught, or did Moses simply transcribe these earlier accounts? My interest really grew after reading of an important ancient King of the Akkadians, that history seems so eagerly to forget. This Kings account of his own childhood, is almost word for word transcribed, into the Book of Exodus. Now my interest has been sparked, where I want to find out who Moses really was, and not what Moses and others would have us believe. The following is the condensed result.
The Sumerians, who lived in the lower Mesopotamian valley, were the first humans to have a written language. They wrote about everyday life on their clay tablets, but also wrote a series of tablets called the creation tablets. They wrote that Man was formed of clay and the women was formed from his rib. They wrote about man’s search for everlasting life, and the tree of knowledge, with an evil snake that tried to gain control of the tree. The “Garden of Eden” comes from the Sumerian word “Gu-Edina”, which means Banks of Eden, a fertile valley between two Sumerian cities. This valley is near the city of Eridu, mans first city, where it’s burial mounds can still be seen today in southern Iraq. The original account on a clay tablet of Noah and the great flood, can be viewed in the Royal British Museum in London. All these accounts were written over 2500 years before Moses wrote the book of Genesis, so how was it that Moses account is a carbon copy of these clay tablets?
The original story of Noah in cuneiform.
Translated as: “After the flood had swept over the land, and waves and windstorms had rocked the huge boat for seven days and seven nights,”
The famous cuneiform text discovered by Smith working for the British Museum records the epic story of the Tower of Babel.
Translated as: “Their strong place (tower) all the day they founded;
to their strong place in the night
entirely he made an end.
In his anger also word thus he poured out:
[to] scatter abroad he set his face
he gave this? command, their counsel was confused”
All these well known accounts of early man, were NOT original Bible accounts, but were Sumerian. Accounts that Moses was very familiar with.
Moses came from a royal setting and had access to the worlds greatest libraries in his education process. These libraries from the Sumerians were world famous, and even up to Alexander the Greats time, they were well known, so Alexander after seeing the libraries in Babylon, he decided to build his own, in Egypt, at the city of Alexandria. Moses in his day, would have had full access to the complete written record of the Sumerians, along with the early Egyptian writings, including Books of the Dead and their many early papyrus writings.
Fig12. Above, the city of Eridu, considered one of the five pre-flood cities, exists today in southern Iraq, using an aerial photo. Notice how flat the land is, and how difficult it would be to defend. Cities without water, become abandoned.
The question is, should it bother us today that Moses plagiarized the creation account? The Assyrians and the Babylonians plagiarized the Sumerian accounts almost word for word, so should it bother us that Moses did the same? It doesn’t bother me that Moses copied the creation account, though it may effect others. It does affect my faith when Moses writes himself in, as a central figure in the Bible. This act is quite different. Moses did far more than plagiarize the creation account. He manipulated many accounts including his own life story.
In the Nineveh tablets, it speaks of a Great King, called Sargon. The text is in the first person, as if Sargon is speaking. “ My mother a high priestess conceived me, in secret she brought me forth. She placed me in a basket of reeds, she closed my entrance with bitumen, she cast me upon the river.” He tells of his birth, which is illegitimate from a royal priestess. He never knows his father, but his mother is ashamed and makes a basket out of reeds, which she puts her baby in, then seals the cover with bitumen. She then puts the basket in the Euphrates river, near the palace, where the palace gardener finds him. Sargon himself says he is the son of a gardener. Before long, Sargon is chief cup holder to the King, and then through a series of events becomes King. From that point on Sargon starts a war of domination over the entire Fertile Crescent. Moses also would have studied Sargon, who was well respected and admired in ancient times, particularity by the Babylonians who saw him as a prototype, of kingdom building.
In Moses own account in Exodus 2:1-3 it compares as, “But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.” Notice the account of Sargon and the Bibles account of Moses are exactly the same, even the the use of bitumen on the reed basket is the same, with the only difference being the river Euphrates being exchanged for Nile.
Was Moses to quick to transcribe Sargon’s birth account without fully aware that bitumen does not exist in the Nile delta? The lower Sumer valley, today known as Kuwait, has a large supply of bitumen that seeps through the ground, from Kuwait’s large oil deposits. The ancients used this heat source to smelter copper, gold and their most sought after metal, bismuth, which they mined in the neighbouring regions. Ancient people in the area also used bitumen as mortar in their temple construction.
Contrary to Moses account, bitumen does not exist in the Nile river or the Nile delta. In Moses haste to plagiarize Sargon’s birth account he failed to realize that the Nile and the Euphrates have a different geology. A simple mistake, but with huge ramifications.
Moses really saw himself, and his life, as Sargon. The question is, why would Moses see Sargon as his alter ego, and why would Moses try to deceive those reading the Book of Exodus, relating to his birth, and history? Did Moses assume that by using these Sumerian accounts, the Hebrews would have no knowledge of Sumerian history, or be able to read, Sumerian text, therefore not question it’s authenticity? Hence they would actually believe that Moses was the originator of these accounts. Rather presumptuous on his part, to assume that mankind would not eventually discover the real source of the Pentateuch. To answer this we must find out who Moses really was in a historical sense.
A number of Pharaohs have been identified as the Pharaoh of the Exodus, but only one Pharaoh, can be both identified by time line and historical fact, and that is Amenhotep 3rd.
In the bible, it tells of 2 storage cities that are built by the Hebrews, and the city Raamses is both mentioned in the bible’s account and is listed in Amenhotep 3rds. burial site, as one of his achievements. Raamses was a city built from clay bricks, in the Goshen, the north eastern section of the Nile delta, where the Hebrews resided.
What gives further proof, that Amenhotep 3rd was the Pharaoh of Exodus, is that Amenhotep’s first son and heir to the throne, Crown Prince Thutmose, or Thotmosis, disappears from Egyptian records shortly after rising to manhood. His name Thot-moses, means born of Thot, or begot of Thot. This was also the same name that his grandfather was called. Thoth being the Egyptian god of wisdom.
Moses was an Egyptian name, not a Hebrew name, as most Jews and Christians would suggest. The Egyptian name Ramsses, given to a number of Pharaohs, was also derived from this same root name. Ra being the “Sun God”, and msses meaning “born of”, is the same root as moses, as in Thotmosis. Msses comes from the root “moses” which means “born of”, in ancient Egyptian. So the correct meaning of Ramsses is “begot of Ra”. The King of Egypt being the Son of Ra had a significant empowerment.
The above cartouche is a cartouche that was used by Thotmosis but doesn’t pronounce his name.
The top symbol is the symbol for Ra. The symbol below that is the symbol for the Senet board,(an ancient game), and the bottom symbol is the Egyptian Scarab. This Cartouche was used by a number of Egyptian Kings, including Cleopatra and was to indicate their rank or position in the Egyptian royal family. The symbol of the senet symbol was pronounced, men or mon but in this case it has a meaning that is not pronounced and has no phonic sound. It represent a thought, to endure, a permanence, to exist. The scarab also is not a pronounced word, in this case it’s pronounced “kheper”, but it’s meaning is to renew, give new life, to an eternity.
So the meaning of the Cartouche is Ra endures to go forth to renew life
In Exodus 2:19 it says Moses was an Egyptian, not a Hebrew. In the presence of close family members the Crown Prince, may certainly have been called by a pet name, Moses. The question is, what happened to Moses? There has never been found a burial site of the crown prince, extremely odd for the Egyptians, or any mention of his accomplishments. Amenhotep 3rd was really a family man, including in many reliefs his 4 daughters, but never including the crown prince. The answer to the crown prince
history and seeming disappearance, can be found in the bible’s account.
Crown Prince, Moses, said he had committed a murder. It would have had to be a very grievous act for a crown prince to be banished from his family and Egypt. Moses tells his motive in the Bible, but can he be believed? Murder as an act of sedition or murder against the priesthood, would be a case for banishment. No one really will ever know, but Moses had to flee Egypt. Upon fleeing Egypt, Moses marries a non Hebrew, an Ethiopian woman, as Numbers 12:1 tells us, but what gives further proof that Moses was not a Hebrew, was that he did not circumcise his son, as Exodus 4:18 tells us, and circumcision is a very important part of being Jewish. The general view of Moses, the Charlton Heston from the movie “The Ten Commandments”, could not be further from the truth. Moses mother was part Nubian, and he would have had a very dark complexion if not black. His wife from Ethiopia, would also have been very dark complexion.
Upon hearing that the ruling Pharaoh had died, Moses returns to Egypt, but why would he return? For one reason and one reason only. To regain his lawful right as heir to the throne of Egypt, only to find his younger brother, Akhenaten was now Pharaoh. Now we know why Moses would have chosen Sargon as his alter-ego. Both men were banished by their fathers, neither Sargon’s father or Moses father would accept them. Both had their mothers cast them into the darkness, forsaken and rejected. Sargon would rise to become King of a world power, and it is this position that Moses desired. To regain his position as Pharaoh of Egypt, the world power of the known world.
In Exodus 7:7 is says that Moses was 80 yrs old when he approached Pharaoh. It would of taken some time to have an entire nation to leave Egypt, cross a desert, come to Mt Sinai, write the Ten Commandments, where they camped for nearly 2 years, then journey with a nation of tens of thousand, with flocks of sheep and goats to the land of Canaan. Abraham before them, did not take the direct desert route, but followed the fertile crescent, so flocks could be pastured and watered and families could rest. Would Moses leading a far larger group, follow the coast, then travel up the fertile crescent? This would have added an additional 5 years to the trip. Then after arriving at the borders of Canaan, the Israelites turned back into the desert to wander for 40 more years. Moses then returned to a mountain overlooking the land of “milk and honey” and died, never crossing the river Jordan. Moses would have had to be well over 130 years old at his death, if all this were true. No man in Moses time nor in our time, has ever lived to 150 years. A great King of the Israel once said, only the strong live 3 score and ten. The question is, what part of this story is misleading or false?
Moses must have been very disappointed to see his brother as Pharaoh, a position he should have held. Why did Moses never mention the Pharaoh’s name? He says in the Bible that he personally knows all the royal family, so why not mention their names? A past that he wishes to keep hidden. In the Bible’s account in Exodus Chapter 7, it also tells of Moses with a speech impediment, so that a translator is used in place of Moses, when speaking to the Pharaoh. There was never a mention previously that Moses had a speech problem, so was this an attempt by Moses to hide his voice from Egypt’s inner court and the Pharaoh’s family, so that he would not be identified. Moses could change his appearance so as not to be recognized, but he could not alter his voice. Were all these just attempts to hide his true identity from the new Pharaoh and ultimately the Hebrews?
After finding his younger brother as Pharaoh, Moses would have been devastated, but what would be his recourse? As Crown Prince both Moses and his younger brother would have had the world’s best education. The Crown Prince of Egypt would have been taught at Thebes, the history and many languages, written and spoken, of the surrounding nations. The art of war, and how neighbouring nations were equipped and their primary method of war. The geography and the ancient routes of trade and the many passes, that required passage for invading armies, would have been taught. Religion and customs of not just Egypt but of the many nations in the immediate area were all taught to the Crown Princes of Egypt. Egypt believed and was one of the foremost reasons Egypt existed as a powerful nation for centuries, was that all it’s Pharaohs should be the most educated men on earth. Another reason for Egypt’s fast rise to world power, was that Egypt had horses. Horses did not exist in the early Mesopotamian valley. Chariots, four wheeled, were pulled by a large species of the donkey, in early Sumeria. Horses existed in North Africa and in Spain, where Egypt had a clear military advantage in there use. Horses against donkeys could be likened to a German Tiger against an American Sherman.
Moses was taught as he knew his brother was, of an ancient prophecy, that spoke of Egypt being overturned by it’s servants and the ruling Pharaoh that would succumb to these insurgents. Could Moses somehow use this ancient prophecy to accomplish his own end? To start a revolution using the Hebrew slaves, in hopes of overturning his brother as Pharaoh. A fulfillment of an ancient text. Would his brother, who was known to be very religious, believe that this prophecy was about to be fulfilled? For the plan to work it would require that Moses’s true identity be unknown to the Pharaoh. For once Moses true identity was known, the real reason of his presence would become known, and Moses’s life would then be in danger. Most importantly did the Pharaoh see these Hebrew slaves as a threat to his kingdom?
The Bible answers this by saying that the Hebrews had become many and because of that, they were now a huge burden to the mostly agriculturally based Egypt. As Moses was soon to discover, the new Pharaoh, would have gladly seen the Hebrews leave the land, and remove this heavy financial burden from the Egyptians. The Hebrews were now eating more than they were producing. These descendants of Joseph that were once seen as guests, were now seen more as a burden, than a threat to fulfill ancient prophecy. Moses account in Exodus continues to detract from this important issue, and he continues to press his point that the Hebrews were seen as a threat to Egypt, hence their work loads were increased. Was this the case, or was Moses account simply to justify his own purpose? How could the most powerful, and wealthy nation on Earth, be afraid of a group of uneducated lowly group of slaves? Did Egypt see the Hebrews as a threat to the political stability of their nation?
A nation where the Pharaohs were seen as Gods. The Egyptians would have laughed at such a thought, but they did question whether these Hebrews served any real purpose in Egyptian life. Other than the building of clay grain storage facilities for times of drought, the Hebrews did little to benefit Egypt. They did no work on any of the major projects, the many stone projects or burial sites, being built throughout Egypt, that took vast Egyptian resources, including food. They were slowly eating Egypt out of house and home, like a bad guest that stays too long and wears out his welcome. Hence Egypt’s ruling Pharaoh, would have gladly seen their Exodus. This is not exactly what Moses wanted to hear, in his attempt to bring a fractious rebellion. He refused to accept this as defeat, and continued his written record of events, that we have all come to accept as true history.
After his inability to start a slave rebellion, what was to follow? Moses still needed and desired for others to worship and bow to him. This was probably just a reflection of his Egyptian past, and his education, but throughout his life it would consume him. To leave Egypt with nothing would be to leave in defeat, and that just wasn’t part of Moses psychic. A personality that was very ego driven. Moses quest may have suffered a temporary set-back, but his determination was stronger than ever.
Moses, as history supports would not give-up so easily, and especially his right to rule. His right to have followers, and subservient worshipers. His right to be superior. His only recourse now was to approached the Hebrews and tell them of a land of “milk and honey”, a promised land. If he couldn’t fool the Pharaoh of Egypt, then he would attempt to fool these Hebrews. Have we not heard this story before, “a land of milk and honey”. It sounds all to familiar, like a NY stock promoter. The land of easy street, where everyone lies around all day, and money grows on trees. It wasn’t long before Moses had these mostly illiterate slaves eating out of his hand. Moses was the world’s first promoter, and possibly the world’s greatest. He then told the Hebrews that he was going to bring 10 plagues upon the Gods and Pharaoh of Egypt, to save them from slavery, and take them to this promised land, where no one works, and fruit grows with abundance. They couldn’t get enough of Moses. Where did Moses get the idea of 10 plagues, and why were they focused against Egypt, as if it was now a personal manner? Had he become that vindictive against Egypt?
Moses learned of the 10 plagues from his Egyptian education as a young man. One of these documents that Moses would have studied and known well, was the Ipuwer Papyrus. Though existing in a fragmented form today, it tells of plagues that would come upon Egypt. The Nile would turn to blood and it’s King would be overturned by his servants. Comparing this papyrus text with Exodus text they parallel very closely. Papyrus 2:5 “the river is blood”, Exodus 7:20 “all the waters of the river were turned to blood”, Papyrus 2:10 “men – thirst after water” Exodus 7:24 “Dig around the river for water, for they could not drink”, Papyrus 6:3 “grain has perished on every side”, Exodus 9:31 “flax and barley was smitten”, Papyrus 9:11 “the land is without light”, Exodus 10:22 “and there was a thick darkness in the land”. Moses just did what he was good at, plagiarizing, and these Hebrews who had no knowledge, of the worlds history or culture, or who Moses actual was, believed it.
Moses in fact required three occurrences to be effective, in order to produce his desired effects. 1) that the Hebrews were unaware of his true identity, 2) their education level was low, countries usually don’t spend a lot of time on educating slaves, 3) because of their distance from Pharaoh’s palace, far to the northeast in the Nile delta, Goshen, that they would have no knowledge of the plagues actually ever taking place. A perfect storm for a great promoter.
Moses then tells of crossing the Red Sea, after exiting Egypt. Did the Hebrews actually cross a dry sea bed, as Moses states, or was it something else? The delta rivers of the Nile and the Euphrates, are continually changing. The ancient cities of Ur and Eridu, in modern Iraq, both suffered this fate. In ancient times a frantic effort, by the Sumerians to save Eridu from losing it’s water source from the Euphrates delta river as the delta shifted further to the east, was to build a 12 mile canal from Ur. This ancient canal can still be seen today from aerial photos. This in the end, did not save either city, as both now are in a middle of a desert. Ramesses 2nd, constructed his new capital, Pi-Ramesses, on the Nile delta river, and within a few short generations, ended abandoned, because the Nile delta river shifted, and left the Pharaoh’s great city, high and dry. Moses simply led these mostly uneducated Hebrews across a dry Nile delta river, and told them it was the Red Sea, they were crossing, and he was holding the waters back, to allow their safe passage. He was becoming an almost one man circus act.
The Red Sea is 350 km across and has an average death of 1608 ft. Can anyone take the story of Moses crossing the Red Sea after parting it’s water, as actually taking place? The simple logistics of moving several hundred thousand people, their families, their wares and flocks across 350 km, just in itself would take 4 weeks or more. That’s 4 weeks with no water for humans or grazing and water for their flocks… Fig13.
Soon the Hebrews came to Mount Sinai, where Moses went up to the top of the mountain, and came back, after breaking the 1st set, with the Ten Commandments. Where did Moses get the idea of the Ten Commandments? We don’t have to look further than his childhood education, from the Egyptian, Books of the Dead. The Books of the Dead, which they were later called, were extensive written documents, covering in some cases over 70 feet of temple walls. They were carved and painted in stone, around the burial sites of dead Kings of Egypt. All the Ten commandments are listed in the Books of the Dead, with one exception, the Sabbath.
Book of the Dead illustrated above.
The Ten Commandments are listed in Exodus chapter 20. Two common examples that compare both scripts, are the the commandments, not to commit murder and take God’s name in vain. “Thou shall not kill” v.s. “I have not killed; I have not turned anyone over to a killer”, and “Thou shall not take the name of the lord thy God in vain” v.s. “I have not reviled the God.” As such, the Books of Dead have given us the original ten commandments, but are in the negative sense, because the dead Kings of Egypt are presenting their case for after life. Moses as a Crown Prince, would be one of the few, that would have been given access, to these holy sites where the Books of the Dead were written, and also have the knowledge to read Egyptian text. No Hebrew would have been allowed access, or allowed to work at any of these sites, and no Hebrew would have the knowledge to decipher these Hieroglyph texts.
Fig14. Mount Sinai, today, though many still question the actual site location, where tourists can make their way to the top along known pathways, from St Catherine’s monastery. Mt. Sinai is in the southern area of the Sinai Peninsula, which means the Hebrews would have been making a long journey south from the Goshen, which adds years to the trip. This is not on a direct route to the land of Canaan.
Moses life as sole leader, was not without it’s difficulty. Upon leading the Hebrews in the desert, Moses found that he had political opponents. In Chapter 16 of the Book of Numbers, Moses encounters these political adversaries in the family of Korah. The 16th chapter goes on to say that the Lord God, had the earth open it’s mouth and swallow all the families of Korah and his supporters including all their family possessions. Did the Israelites see this as the truth, as to what actually occurred? If today we heard that Gadhafi, once the leader of Libya, had a news conference and stated that all his political adversaries had been swallowed up by the earth, because the Lord God saw them as evil, would we believe this as the truth? The Hebrews were not any different from us. They saw this, as we would today, that Moses was exercising his authority, “It’s my way or the highway”.
Moses was again using from what was effective, and expedient in Egypt, murder. Moses simply had some of his thugs murder these families and bury their bodies, and family possessions in the desert. They simply disappeared. Much can be overlooked, from the life of Moses, but some acts cannot. Murder being one.
Moses nearing the end of his life, rose upon a mountain, that overlooked the “land of milk and honey”. He died there, never entered this promised land, or see the results of his efforts. What was Moses thinking at that moment? Was his life a success? Did he achieve his goals? No one will ever know, his personal thoughts, but the main point is; his writings have persuaded billions of people to believe and put their faith in a man, that was certainly an inspirational speaker, a brilliant leader, but was also extremely manipulative, controlling, and from many of his writings, he meant to directly mislead with falsehoods, as to prevaricate the truth. To prevaricate the truth, is far greater than to lie, for it implies a conscious effort to mislead.
The question for us today is; Why do we continue to believe the Bibles account regarding early occurrences in Egypt? The simple fact is the Bible’s account up until the 19th century was our only source of knowledge into the ancient world. The Egyptian hieroglyphs were not understood and deciphered until then, and the Sumerian text even later, up until the 1930’s. In fact the Sumerian civilization was not discovered or even known about until the mid eighteen hundreds. Moses record of man’s early existence was our sole source of knowledge. In effect Moses was able to keep the truth from all of us, simply because of our inability to read ancient text. In brief, Moses had been correct. He could transcribe early Egyptian and Sumerian text word for word, and these accounts would be believed as “words from God”, for thousands of years.
What is even more profound, is that these earlier writing, are now seen as mostly ancient myths, that carry little or no weight, on human history, while the plagiarized Bible’s accounts are seen as the truth. The case in point is the history of the Sumerian king, Sargon, whose history has been purposely buried and hidden by Christian and Jewish scholars, because that history would prove the Bible’s account as false and misleading. A cruel irony of fate.
Was Moses God’s Greatest Prophet, or was he in search of his own destiny? The cost of which was irrelevant. The answer to that can only lie within each of us.
For further reading on the Exodus;
Nota Bene; 1) No written text predates Sumerian 2) A number of historians have stated that Bitumen was used by ancient Egyptians in mummification. This is completely incorrect. One must remember bitumen is a very dirty and foul smelling product (depending on sulfur content) and not something that would be used in such an important ceremony. In the early 20’s and 30’s this ancient process of keeping a body in a embalmed state for centuries was very much in the public’s interest, Therefore a number of prominent researches did extensive and detailed accounts of the resins used by the ancients and NO bitumen were discovered. Only resins from living plants were used. Did bitumen enter Egyptian life later in the Greek and Roman times as a glue or a sealant product? Yes very probably, but not in ancient times
Why then do these theories persist? Mainly to support their religious beliefs.
Anonymous1 May 2019 at 16:52Moses never existed, he was a literary fiction created by the priests of Yahweh originally a Canaanite god of war while in exile in Babylon. The Yahweh priests cobbled together the early scriptures in anticipation of their return to Judea and they needed documents to legalize their takeover of the country and to use religion as an instrument of control of the population. Religion poisons everything!ReplyDeleteReplies
Ken D. Webber2 December 2019 at 02:15What you have left out of the above is the story of the staff of Moses turning into a serpent. Serpent written as “NAHASH” had 3 meanings. 1. It meant a person expert in copper work; a copper worker 2. It meant a person who had great wisdom and kept the secret knowledge, such as that an Egyptian high priest would have. and 3. It means “serpent” symbolically, as the serpent is the representation of wisdom. Staffs of that time weren’t just walking sticks. Your staff would be emblazoned with seals and markings showing what level of initiation you held and what teachers and mystery schools you had learned from. So Moses encountered two Egyptian priests and they begin arguing over who is better than the others. They throw their staffs upon the ground and then compare their seals, markings, and pedigree to see whose wisdom, whose “Nahash”, is bigger than the others. And Moses’ wisdom swallowed up the others. It is a play on words, a pun. And everyone who knows the meanings of the words has kept this secret because to go against the typical Christian has been “blasphemy.” To them it is a miracle comparable to talking snakes. And which also now explains a bit of Genesis and that Nahash, meaning the one who walked on two feet, meaning a member of a secret society or an Order.ReplyDelete

The gods were eternal basically immortal and it was because they were created in heaven and could also grant immortality upon mortals via food of life and water of life… but Ive never read it talk about that water of life having to do with the abzu.ReplyDelete
