The Book Genesis of the Grail Kings by Gardner, contends that the Grail Line Kings descended from Cain.

We disagree with Gardner, that Cain is the son of Adam or that he has anything to do with the Grail Line Kings. Gardner uses only one line in Genesis to relate this genetic tie. The line is Genesis 4:17. But if you look at Genesis 5: beginning with Seth, there is a completely seperate family line which does include Enoch, whose father is Jared, ect.

We also back up this claim with these words from the Nag Hammidi texts; "The first name is Yaltabaoth, the second is Saklas, and the third is Samael. And he is impious in his arrogance which is in him. For he said,
'I am God and there is no other God beside me,' for he is ignorant of his strength, the place from which he had come".

The 'Samael' in the Nag Hammidi Library text is Enlil, not as Gardner claims - Enki.
see Second Treatise of the Great Seth - The Nag Hammidi Collection. Also Gardner contridicts his own theory by admitting that 'Baali' is Cain's son not Enki's, but the name 'Cain' doesn't appear in any of the Sumerian texts. We found a likely match for him in these very texts. Like the other Sumerian names, this one is spelled KA.IN. The City he was exiled to is DUN or NUD which is much like Nod. That is explained on Forbidden page2. (automatic scroll down) Also Jerusalem and the Sinai are connected to Enlil because he was ruler over that area. Enki and his sons Ra/Marduk and Thoth are the Gods over Africa/Egypt.

Sub-title - The little hints to the Elohims (Enoch's 'Watchers') in the KJB - here become BIG evidence.
We also recommend The secret books of Enoch , story four and five about the 'Watchers', which Gardner also uses as references in his book, but he leaves out any references used in the Nag Hammidi texts. Our contention is, if you ignore part of the facts contained in this text, your story doesn't hold water.

Gardner then says, the Table of Destiny was based on the Wisdom of Lamech, an Anunnaki testament and is the same as the 'pillers' of wisdom and became known as the Emerald Tablet. We agree with this and we showed it to you on Passage Forward 3...And Josephus relates this all to Lamech who is from the line of Seth.

If the main contention is that Enlil doesn't want men to have knowledge then why would his line of descendents (from Cain) write it down and give it to men? As the other brother Enki believes that sharing the wisdom is the key to escaping the fear and obedience demanded by Enlil, we take a different approach as to who the bad guy and his descendents are. We also have told you that God doesn't speek to men directly. He sent an angel to Noah and (we believe) Moses and Jesus.

Apparently Enlil spoke directly to Abraham because Enlil controlled Abraham and his people. Enlil speeks directly to 'his people' throughout the bible. (They came from the city of Ur, Babylon - the Sinai)
Enki was in charge of Egypt and Africa and was instramental in providing Noah a way to escape the vengence and wrath of Enlil and the flood. Moses and Jesus and those before him therefore were influenced and taught by Enki/Ptah. This included Solomon and Akhenaken. In another reference we find that the Egyptians believed in eternal life and taught this to all. Enlil's followers were not taught this because he did not want eternal life to be given to men. He is the god who places a 'piller of fire' in front of the Tree of Eternal Life in Genesis.

When the ship comes to rest, Noah finds himself in the presence of the high gods of the Sumerian pantheon, Anu and Enlil, who have repented of their earlier decision to wipe mankind entirely from the face of the earth and are now so grateful to Zisudra (Noah) for building his Ark and surviving the flood that they decide to make him immortal.
The lines read; 'Life like a god they gave him, Breath eternal like a god they brought down for him, ...Zisudra the king. The preserver of the name of vegetation and of the seed of mankind.'

In fragment 4a of the few scattered remnants of the once widely renowned History of the Babylonian priest Berossos ( who wrote in the third century B.C. but whose work is thought by scholars to convey authentic Sumerian traditions,) Sippar is remembered as the place where the knowledge of the antediluvian race was hidden away before the flood and preserved for use by the survivers of mankind. The Noah figure in this story is named Xisouthros. A god visits him in a dream, warns him that humanity is about to be destroyed in a terrible deluge, and orders him to build a huge boat of the usual dimentions in the usual way.

When Xisouthros makes landfall, he offers a sacrifice to the gods then he is immediately transported to immortal life and vanishes. Those left on the ship are told to sail back towards Babylon and seek out the city of Sipper, which will have survived the flood. They are to dig up the tablets that were buried there and turn them over to mankind.

The tablets reads; 'And those who arrived in Bablyon dug up the tablets in the city of Sipper and brought them out. They built and erected temples to the gods and renewed Babylon.'

Archaeological evidence shows the earliest occupation of Eridu is 7000 B.C. and Sipper apparently is not buried by the flood waters. Evidence is strong that the Persian gulf region was not under water at this time, and several cities are now under it's waters. The city of Ur was also flooded but the water receeded. This left a silt and mud deposit that Woolley found and dated to 5500 B.C. see Woolley

The name of Seth’s son and the next pre-Diluvial patriarch in which the Bible was interested was Enosh; it has come to mean in Hebrew “Human, Mortal,” and it is clear that the Old Testament considered him the progenitor of the human lineage at the core of the ancient chronicles. It states in respect to him, that “It was then that the name of Yahweh began to be called,” that worship and priesthood began.

There are a number of Sumerian texts that shed more light on this intriguing aspect. The available portions of the Adapa text state that he was “perfected” and treated as a son by Enki in Enki’s city Eridu. It is likely then, as William Hallo (Antediluvian Cities) had suggested, that the great-grandson of Enosh was named Yared to mean “He of Endu.” Here, then, is the answer: While the Bible loses interest in the banished descendants of Adam, it focuses its attention on the patriarchs from Adam’s line who had stayed in Eden-southern Mesopotamia-and were the first to be called to priesthood.

In the fourth generation after Enosh the firstborn son was named Enoch; Scholars believe that here the name’s meaning stemmed from a variant of the Hebrew root, connoting “to train, to edu­cate.” Of him the Old Testament briefly states that he “had walked with the Deity” and did not die on Earth, “for the Deity had taken him.” The sole verse in Genesis 5:24 is substantially en­larged upon in the extra-biblical Books of Enoch. They detail his first visit with the Angels of God to be instructed in various sciences and ethics. Then, after returning to Earth to pass the knowledge and the requisites of priesthood to his sons, he was taken aloft once more, to permanently join the Nephilim (the biblical term meaning “Those Who Had Dropped Down”) in their celestial abode.

The Sumerian King List records the priestly reign of Enmedu­ranki in Sippar, then the location of the Spaceport under the command of Utu/Shamash. His name, “Priestly lord of the Dur-an-ki,” indicates that he had been trained in Nippur. A little-known tablet, reported by W. G. Lambert (“Enmeduranki and Related Material”), reads as follows:

Enmeduranki [was] a prince in Sippar, Beloved of Anu, Enlil and Ea.(Enki)
Shamash in the Bright Temple appointed him.
Shamash and Adad [took him] to the assembly [of the gods].
They showed him how to observe oil on water, a secret of Anu, Enlil and Ea.
They gave him the Divine Tablet, the kibdu secret of Heaven and Earth
They taught him how to make calculations with numbers.

When the instruction of Enmeduranki in the secret knowledge of the gods was accomplished, he was returned to Sumer. The “men of Nippur, Sippar and Babylon were called into his presence.” He informed them of his experiences and of the establishment of priesthood. It shall be passed, the gods commanded, from father to son: “The learned savant, who guards the secrets of the gods, will bind his favored son with an oath before Shamash and Adad . . and will instruct him in the secrets of the gods.”

The tablet concludes with a postscript: “Thus was the line of preists created- those who are allowed to approach Shamash and Adad. Zacharia Sitchen - The Wars of Gods and Men

Further evidence shows Enoch's connection with the God's of Eridu (another name for Enoch ). See Passage page 5 automatic scroll down

On Passage page 6, in exerpts from the Nag Hammidi scrolls, we find that Ham and Japheth are protected by the good God..Enki. "Then the seed of Ham and Japheth will form twelve kingdoms, and their seed also will enter into the kingdom of another people." Then as we read it, Ham and Japheth are susposed to be the good sons of Noah. However we found Japheth sides with Seth and they are aligned with Enlil. Ham's son Canaan is then cursed by Noah.

Psalms 78:51; 105:23,27; 106:22; 1Ch 4:40 refers to Egypt as "the land of Ham". And see 1 Chronicles 4:40: The Generations of Ham; "And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old." The Hebrew word for Egypt was Mizraim (probably literally meaning the two lands), and was the name of one of Ham's sons. This 'assignment' of lands started a war, when Shem and his sons and Japheth and his sons invaded Egypt or 'the Lands of Ham'.

This is the proof that they moved to Egypt with Enki and Marduk. Nimrod then is the first King of Egypt, called Narmer and The Scorpion King. His son Menes is Scorpion II.

Also "covering Noah's nakedness" is a medifore for a secret revealed to Ham, but not revealed to Shem... then look at the next verse from Adam's books...

"But serve him in fear and slavery all the days of your life. Let not your seed depart from the face of God the Almighty. [...] I and your [...] son of Noah, "My seed will be pleasing before you and before your power. Seal it by your strong hand, with fear and commandment, so that the whole seed which came forth from me may not be inclined away from you and God the Almighty, but it will serve in humility and fear of its knowledge."
Fear and slavery are the inheritance of the Hebrews and fear and slavery is the demand of none other than Enlil or Jehovah/Yehweh.

"They will say to Sakla,(Enlil) "What is the power of these men who stood in your presence, who were taken from the seed of Ham and Japheth, who will number four hundred men? They have been received into another aeon from which they had come forth, and they have overturned all the glory of your power and the dominion of your hand. For the seed of Noah through his sons has done all your will, and (so have) all the powers in the aeons over which your might rules, while both those men and the ones who are sojourners in their glory have not done your will. But they have turned (aside) your whole throng."
..taken from The Apocalypse of Adam This verse hints at a rebellion against Enlil/Jehovah/Yehweh, possibly initiated by Nimrod, who 'hunts the souls of men' in order to save them from the lies, slavery and cruelty of Enlil.

All these years Nimrod has been condemned for his knowledge... But he is directly responsible for passing it on to future generations so they would know the true, good God who wants people to have knowledge. Enlil then destroys the tower of Babel because it is a 'center for learning'. The language is not really confused, but throngs of foreigners are brought in to wage war on Nimrods culture and the 'knowledge' center. Then we ask, where did these foreigners come from... they are 'the sons of Cain', who we are told (if you read between the lines) with this very verse (Genesis 11), they did escape the flood.

A second source indicating Mesopotamian chronicles for the biblical tale of Adam and his son Cain are Assyrian texts. We find, for example, that an archaic Assyrian King List states that in the earliest times, when their forefathers were tent-dwellers-a term duplicated in the Bible regarding the line of Cain-the patriarch of their people was named Adamu, the biblical Adam.

We also find among traditional Assyrian eponyms of royal names the combination Ashur-bel-Ka’ini (“Ashur, lord of the Ka’­mites”); and the Assyrian scribes paralleled this with the Sumerian ASHUR-EN.DUNI (“Ashur is lord of Duni”), implying that the Ka’ini (“The people of Kain”) and the Duni (“The people of Dun”) were one and the same; and thus reaffirming the biblical Cain and Land of Nud or Dun. Zacharia Sitchen - The Wars of Gods and Men

Gardner says on page 190 of his book that the name Enos means 'man' in Hebrew and was the name of Seth's son and this line of descendents produce Noah ect., and that Noah was the product of divine origin. Shem's sons produce Abraham whose descendents are influenced by the culture of the Egyptians, which again involved centers for learning.. The Assyrians/Hebrews still worshipped Baal/Sin (son of Enlil) and never stopped. Moses, Joshua, Jesus, ect., actually knew the truth, but it remained secret, only to be shared with the priesthood and it's sons..

This contridicts any influence or importance of Cain's descendents except that they kept spreading the lies of Enlil. We feel Cain's real descendents are therefore unimportant, were never kings and are as Jesus describes them, murders. They are in our opinion, the Son's of Enlil and are the same as Yaldabaoth and his sons in the Nag Hammidi texts.

The 8000 year old account below reveals how it all got started.

"Although other regions of the Fertile Crescent, as well as parts of China, India, and places as far north as Transylvania, were by then into an age of rural cultivation and domesticity, the civilized realm of Sumer was very different by virtue of its cities and municipal structure. An inscription from ancient Nippur makes the point that the first of all known empires was that founded by the High Priest of the city of Uruk - an empire which stretched ' from the lower sea to the upper sea' (from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean). Note: Wells, H.G., The Outline of History, p. 164.

Here were the first ever priests, and the first ever kings, in a post-Flood environment which (just like the events prior to 35,000 BC) swept the people of the region once more into hitherto unknown realms of advancement, thousands of years ahead of any natural evolution. This was the true dawn of modern socially structured society; this was the era of awareness and enlightenment; this was the Age of Adam."

The Sumerian King List records all the rulers of Earth back over 400,000 years. This huge stretch of time coupled with reigns into the thousands of years has caused most historians to reject its accuracy. However all the early rulers were gods - immortals. The King List does record the reign of Enmeduranki whose name meant 'ruler whose 'ME' connect Heaven and Earth.' The ME's are the Divine Laws. Enmeduranki is Enoch. page 115, The Wars of Gods and Men - Zacharia Sitchen

"...Sumerian writing is the oldest sophisticated form of writing in existence, having first appeared in about 3400 BC, Note: Black, Jeremy, and Green, Anthony, Gods, Demons and Symbols of Ancient Mesopotamia, British Museum Press, London, 1992, p.11. but it is neither crude nor primitive, and there is no region on Earth which identifies any scribal concept that might have been its forerunner. It appeared in a complete and composite form, as if from another world, in the style known as cuneiform (wedge-shaped). This was a series of angular phonetic symbols (cuneates), ostensibly abbreviated from the pictographs of the Sumerian temple priests.
Woolley, Sir C. Leonard, The Sumerians, W.W. Norton, London, 1965, p.20.

More proof..From Zecharia Sitchen's Earth Chronicles

13,000 Realizing that the passage of Nibiru in Earth's proximity will trigger an immense tidal wave, Enlil makes the Anunnaki swear to keep the impending calamity a secret from Mankind .

This is when Enki tells Noah about the coming disaster and instructs him to build a 'boat'.

SUMERIAN KNOWLEDGE: ANOTHER MISSING LINK

The encyclopedic work of Zecharia Sitchin, including Genesis Revisited and especially in his series entitled The Earth Chronicles, also focuses on this cooperation between humankind and extraterrestrial life that once existed. Dr. Sitchin claims to be one of only about 200 people in the world who can fully read and translate the ancient Sumerian cuneiform tablets. By simply accepting that the information and historical accounts may well be true, documented facts, without falling back on the standard belief that they are simply myths, Sitchin has made some very surprising discoveries. His work is so solid that no skeptics have ever made any serious attempts to disassemble it. Therefore, Sitchin is simply ignored, as his scholarship is so complex, integrated and far-reaching that no one has been willing to try to mount a full attack.

Once again, in Sitchin's books we see written evidence of super-advanced flying technology (as well as more mundane forms such as rockets,) extraterrestrial humanoids, lasers and weaponry, as well as a veritable cornucopia of advanced knowledge, including rigorously accurate and detailed descriptions of our Solar System. Within these ancient texts are diagrams and properties of all the planets that we have currently discovered as well as a large "twelfth planet" named Nibiru.

The existence of that very planet is just now being formally (and quietly) acknowledged by the mainstream scientific community as of October 1999. The modern case for a distant planet that recent NASA scientists have presented comes from the mysterious, visible perturbations in the orbits of distant comets originating from the far recesses of our solar system, which suggest that there must be a potentially Jupiter-sized planet beyond the orbit of Pluto whose gravity is affecting them. Nevertheless, there is no real evidence that this planet is going to pass by the Earth in May 2012 as many still believe at the time of this updated edition in October 2002.

Based on the intensely technical descriptions that come to us from the Sumerian cuneiform tablets, some of which we will explore in mathematical detail in future chapters, we must wonder if they were at least partially derived from verbally-preserved Atlantean records. This could explain the basis behind the epic "Saga of Gilgamesh," which details the story of a small group of people led by a man named Gilgamesh who survived an ancient flood - i.e. the demise of Atlantis. In The Earth Chronicles, Sitchin makes a solid case for the Biblical story of Noah and the Ark being a condensed and simplified version of this tale, where the character Gilgamesh was a god and many other important details were omitted.

OANNES: FIRST CONTACT

Berossus describes an animal endowed with reason, who was called Oannes; the whole body of the animal was like that of a fish, and had under a fish's head another (regular human) head, and also feet below, similar to those of a man, subjoined to the fish's tail. His voice too and language was articulate and human, and a representation of him is preserved even to this day. This Being in the day-time used to converse with Man, but took no food at that season; and he gave them an insight into letters and sciences and every kind of art. He taught them to construct houses, to found temples, to compile laws, and explained to them the principles of geometrical knowledge. He made them distinguish the seeds of the earth and showed them how to collect fruits; in short, he instructed them in everything which could tend to soften manners and humanize mankind. From that time so universal were his instructions, nothing has been added material by way of improvement. When the sun set, it was the custom of this Being to plunge again into the sea and abide all night in the deep, for he was amphibious. After this there appeared other animals like Oannes. [emphasis added]

As we can see, the single most remarkable aspect of the story of the Sumerian culture is how beings like Oannes led them so incredibly quickly from nomadic "hunting and gathering" to an advanced society with running water, schools, codified law, government, domestication of animals and cultivation of crops for food and herbal healing remedies, as well as mathematics and geometry, house building and the like. Obviously those of a higher civilization could come into a primitive culture and effect changes very quickly, just as we in the West have done throughout our entire world.

THE MYSTERIES

According to many, many sources from diversified fields, the survivors of Atlantis preserved their corpus of knowledge, albeit in a scattered form, as most of them left the sinking continent in great haste and with little to spare – hence the ancient story of Noah’s Ark. The only historical account of Atlantis that ever made its way into the public was from the Greek philosopher Plato, and modern researchers still draw off of his writings when investigating the subject. It is often written that Plato caused a serious upset in the Egyptian priesthood by publishing this data, as it was intended to remain strictly concealed from the public. According to Plato's account, Atlantis disappeared in a sudden cataclysm that caused it to sink beneath the sea. There were a precious few who became aware that this was going to happen before it actually did, and they were able to evacuate the island continent before the event itself occurred. They migrated to different areas throughout Europe, Africa and Asia as well as the Americas, most notably within the Mesoamerican region of the Yucatan.

According to the legends as preserved by Plato and others in secret, the majority of the entire world was not civilized during the time of Atlantis, but existed in a primitive / tribal state. The secluded island of Atlantis itself, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on all sides, was far more advanced than many of the indigenous cultures that were already in existence in other parts of the world. At that time, not everyone was at the same level of development by any means, and the legends say that Atlantis had just begun a large-scale colonization / civilization program for the outside world when they collapsed.

The Atlantean cataclysm completely submerged all the remnants of their once great island, and in many cases the survivors of this disaster found themselves thrust into situations with primitive peoples who could barely even begin to fathom the civilization that they had come from. And in some of these cases, if they were to begin openly speaking about their knowledge, they would have been killed very quickly out of fear. Therefore, it appears that the majority of survivors from Atlantis had to pass down their traditional knowledge in conditions of the utmost secrecy, knowing that their conflicting religious and scientific beliefs could quickly turn them into dinner for a tribe of wandering cannibals if they weren't careful.

The overarching term that was given for the secret knowledge from the lost civilization of Atlantis, (other than “The Tradition,”) was “The Mysteries.” In most cases, the secrecy of the Mysteries was kept so tightly that rigorous initiations were demanded of anyone who either chose or was invited to participate. And furthermore, to insure their own survival the inheritors of the Atlantean legacy would often punish those who betrayed the secrets with death. In order to be entrusted with the secrets, you had to swear an oath that you gave permission to be killed if you ever revealed the knowledge to those who were “uninitiated.” They believed that it was better to sacrifice one traitor than to lose everyone in an ambush soon afterwards – and this was a very real possibility at that time. One can certainly imagine that many bands of survivors who did not either keep strict secrecy or were not as careful or dramatic as the Babylonian Oannes or the Mesoamerican Viracocha were simply wiped out, and that perhaps this common link among recognized historical figures of the Mysteries was the very thing that had preserved their knowledge through time.

According to numerous sources of evidence, especially “Secret Teachings of All Ages” by Manly Palmer Hall,” the knowledge of the Mysteries was almost totally wiped out more than once due to these oppressive conditions in uncivilized lands. Yet, the underlying power of the information was so strong that great men would always come along and completely reintegrate all of the fragmented pieces. This happened in Greece with Thales, Pythagoras and Plato touring the African / Eurasian continents and compiling lost ancient data, and much more recently it was done again by Francis Bacon, a highly-educated royal contemporary of the Elizabethan era who had access to ancient records in the Vatican and elsewhere. Bacon's efforts to resuscitate the Mysteries were what directly fathered the modern-day Masonic Order, and he and Pythagoras are said by Manly Hall (discussed below) to be the single two most important figures in Masonry today.

The Masonic Order is often lambasted by modern ‘conspiracy theorists’ as an easy target due to its vows of secrecy and demonstrable worldwide power in our modern civilization. There is strong first-hand evidence from “cult survivors” that a negatively oriented group known as the “Illuminati” has penetrated through certain aspects of the Masonic Order, though this does not necessarily impugn most average Masons. This will be discussed in more detail towards the end of this volume. As just one of hundreds of examples, almost every person who signed the Declaration of Independence was a Mason, as well as a high number of astronauts and US Presidents. (Haven’t you ever wondered why there is a pyramid on the back of the dollar bill with the “All-Seeing Eye” on the top? Or why the Washington Monument is a perfect Egyptian obelisk?) Many authors have gone far out of their way to demonstrate that the majority of high-level corporate executives, military officials and top government politicians all have connections to Masonry, and updated lists of these people (which may or may not be entirely accurate) are easily found through searching the Internet.

Only those who had penetrated through the highest “degrees” of Freemasonry had any idea about what the Mysteries really were. The lower degrees, especially the first three “Blue Degrees,” were designed to foster a large body of loyal and unified members for the group, thus enhancing Masonic power and influence without compromising any real knowledge or secrets. Those who would receive the deepest knowledge could be carefully observed over a long period of time, and handpicked slowly and carefully through higher degrees in a very controlled fashion. Any sign of lack of integrity, doubt or distrust on behalf of the initiate would permanently freeze his progress, insuring that he would never advance any further. (And yes, only men can join the Freemasons. The corresponding, much less popular women's group is called Eastern Star.)

And so, even if certain “Illuminati” elements that have penetrated the top levels of the modern Masonic Order have become quite confused and power-hungry, the original secret information from Atlantis is very important to us. It does not appear that the ancient information was biased towards the negative side of spirituality, though the “Illuminati” may have now co-opted it as such.

Many researchers agree that the books of Manly Palmer Hall, a 33rd-degree Masonic initiate, (the highest publicly acknowledged degree,) are the ultimate source available for learning about the real secrets that are preserved by these modern inheritors of the Mysteries. The book The Secret Teachings of All Ages is inarguably Hall's finest accomplishment – written as a literal encyclopedia of all the great truths that he or any other members of these societies were willing to openly reveal. And within that subset, Hall has quite a lot to say. Once all the other pieces are in place, we will see that Hall's information is far more than adequate for recombining the true picture of the Atlantean Mysteries.

Hall's book begins, paradoxically enough, with an enormous and perhaps even boring discussion of philosophers, from Greek to Roman right up through the present, going into great detail about their widely contradictory ideas. In this discussion, we can clearly see how the unified knowledge of the Mysteries had already become widely dispersed, and everyone had their own theories based on what little they knew – and yet underneath it all, a common thread could be perceived. Certain philosophers such as Pythagoras actively sought to eliminate this problem by traveling far and wide to collect this scattered secret information from other areas. By the end of that chapter, the reader is practically exhausted with the huge body of philosophical information that was presented, and at this point Hall comes clean with the hidden Masonic knowledge that he is in contact with, regarding the true secret origin of all philosophy. In this excerpt, he also touches upon the all-important concept of symbolism being used to convey information and hide truth from the uninitiated:

The magnificent institutions of Hindu, Chaldean (Sumerian), and Egyptian learning must be recognized as the actual source of Greek wisdom. The last was patterned after the shadow cast by the sanctuaries of Ellora, Ur, and Memphis upon the thought substance of a primitive people. Thales, Pythagoras, and Plato in their philosophic wanderings contacted many distant cults and brought back the lore of Egypt and the inscrutable Orient.

From indisputable facts such as these it is evident that philosophy emerged from the religious Mysteries of antiquity, not being separated from religion until after the decay of the Mysteries. He who would fathom the depths of philosophic thought must familiarize himself with the teachings of those initiated priests designated as the first custodians of divine revelation. The Mysteries claimed to be the guardians of a transcendental knowledge so profound as to be incomprehensible save to the most exalted intellect and so potent as to be revealed with safety only to those in whom personal ambition was dead and who had consecrated their lives to the unselfish service of humanity. Both the dignity of these sacred institutions and the validity of their claim to possession of Universal Wisdom are attested by the most illustrious philosophers of antiquity, who were themselves initiated into the profundities of the secret doctrine and who bore witness to its efficacy.

The question may legitimately be propounded: If these ancient mystical institutions were of such "great pith and moment," why is so little information now available concerning them and the arcana they claimed to possess? The answer is simple enough: The Mysteries were secret societies, binding their initiates to inviolable secrecy, and avenging with death the betrayal of their sacred trusts. Although these schools were the true inspiration of the various doctrines promulgated by the ancient philosophers, the fountainhead of those doctrines was never revealed to the profane . Furthermore, in the lapse of time the teachings came so inextricably linked with the names of disseminators that the actual but recondite source - the Mysteries - came to be wholly ignored. [emphasis added]

And as we continue further along in Hall's book, we come upon the chapter "Atlantis and the Gods of Antiquity," where the core idea of humanity's hidden Atlantean past is expounded upon further:

"The history of Atlantis," writes Ignatius Donnelly, "is the key of the Greek mythology. There can be no question that these gods of Greece were human beings. The tendency to attach divine attributes to great earthly rulers is one deeply implanted in human nature. (See Atlantis.)

…The Garden of Eden from which humanity was driven by a flaming sword is perhaps an allusion to the earthly paradise supposedly located west of the Pillars of Hercules and destroyed by volcanic cataclysms. The Deluge legend may be traced also to the Atlantean inundation, during which a "world" was destroyed by water. Was the religious, philosophic, and scientific knowledge possessed by the priestcrafts of antiquity secured from Atlantis, whose submergence obliterated every vestige of its part in the drama of world progress? Atlantean sun worship has been perpetuated in the ritualism and ceremonialism of both Christianity and pagandom. Both the cross and the serpent were Atlantean emblems of divine wisdom…

The mythologies of many nations contain accounts of gods who "came out of the sea." Certain shamans among the American Indians tell of holy men dressed in birds' feathers and wampum who rose out of the blue waters and instructed them in the arts and crafts. Among the legends of the Chaledans (Sumerians) is that of Oannes, a partly amphibious creature who came out of the sea and taught the savage peoples along the shore to read and write, till the soil, cultivate herbs for healing, study the stars, establish rational forms of government, and become conversant with the sacred Mysteries. Among the Mayas, Quetzalcoatl, the Savior-God (whom some Christians believe to have been St. Thomas), issued from the waters and, after instructing the people in the essentials of civilization, rode out to sea on a magic raft of serpents to escape the wrath of the fierce god of the Fiery Mirror, Tezcatlipoca.

[Note: Again, with references to a "magic raft" and a "Fiery Mirror" we can see a clear connection to the more magnificent versions of the Vimana that we had discussed above.]

May it not have been that these demigods of a fabulous age who, Esdras-like, came out of the sea were Atlantean priests? All that primitive man remembered of the Atlanteans was the glory of their golden ornaments, the transcendency of their wisdom, and the sanctity of their symbols - the cross and the serpent. That they came in ships was soon forgotten, for untutored minds considered even boats as supernatural. Wherever the Atlanteans proselyted they erected pyramids and temples patterned after the great sanctuary in the [Atlantean] City of the Golden Gates. Such is the origin of the pyramids of Egypt, Mexico, and Central America. The mounds in Normandy and Britain, as well as those of the American Indians, are remnants of a similar culture. In the midst of the Atlantean program of world colonization and conversion, the cataclysms which sank Atlantis began. The Initiate-Priests of the Sacred Feather who promised to come back to their missionary settlements never returned; and after the lapse of centuries tradition preserved only a fantastic account of gods who came from a place where the sea now is…

From the Atlanteans the world has received not only the heritage of arts and crafts, philosophies and sciences, ethics and religions, but also the heritage of hate, strife, and perversion. The Atlanteans instigated the first war; and it has been said that all subsequent wars were fought in a fruitless effort to justify the first one and right the wrong which it caused. Before Atlantis sank, its spiritually illumined Initiates, who realized that their land was doomed because it had departed from the Path of Light, withdrew from the ill-fated continent. Carrying with them the sacred and secret doctrine, these Atlanteans established themselves in Egypt, where they became its first "divine" rulers. Nearly all the great cosmologic myths forming the foundation of the various sacred books of the world are based upon the Atlantean Mystery rituals.

Without going into further long quotations here, Hall later makes the important point that the language of symbolism was used to hide the Atlantean knowledge, both scientific and spiritual. In this way, there could be a physical structure, such as a pyramid or building, which was built according to certain “sacred” proportions. Once someone had a basic understanding of the physics that we will be discussing in this book, these symbolically encoded mysteries can again be revealed. Mythological teachings, repeated generation after generation, were also used to hide very advanced information; and we will have more to say about this as we progress. Certain sculptures or illustrations were also used, with their true meanings hidden in myth. Hindu dances and mandalas incorporated “sacred geometry” into their patterns as well. The Yin-Yang symbol of the ancient Orient is also of particular significance, as is the staff with two coiled serpents surrounding it, now used as the symbol for medicine.

"... Not much more than a century ago, no one had ever heard of the Sumerians, but now the collections at the British Museum, the Louvre, the Berlin Museum, Yale University and elsewhere hold a greater wealth of Sumerian texts that have been found from any other ancient culture. There are literally tens of thousands of clay tablets and cylinder-seals, containing everything from administrative and taxation records to essays and literature. Many of these are from a distant era, more than a 1000 years before epic Greek poems such as the Iliad and the Odissey, and even longer before the Israelites' first notations for Genesis.

"... cylinder-seals were used to roll positive images into soft clay, which was then baked. Since the stone seals were reverse masters, they facilitated a reproduction process for any number of impressions and, by virtue of this, not only were numerous copies made possible (say, for decorative building reliefs or matching pottery), but the existence of a library-retained 'original' completely undermined any attempt at forgery.

"... One of the scholarly adepts of later times was non other than King Ashur-banipal of Assyria, who wrote on a clay tablet in the seventh century BC, about 100 years before the Israelite captivity:

"The god of the scribes has bestowed upon me the gift of the knowledge of his art. I have been initiated into the secrets of writing. I can even read the intricate tablets in Sumerian. I understand the enigmatic words in the stone carvings from the days of the Flood."
Sitchin, Z, The 12th Planet, p. 22. and Planet X

"... It is well known to all historical and theological scholars that the Old Testament's book of Genesis was extracted from older Mesopotamian records. Why is it, then, that so many of those same scholars uphold the Church's veneration of Genesis as an absolute truth, whereas they decry the original records as legend and mythology? It is because, in the final analysis, despite falling congregations, Church opinion always wins at an official level since it is inherently tied to the governments which control the academic establishments.

"What actually transpired was that the original Mesopotamian writings were recorded as history. This history was later rewritten to form a base for foreign religious cults - first Judaism and then Christianity. The corrupted dogma of the religions then became established as 'history' and because the contrived dogma (the new approved history) was so different from the original writings, the early first-hand records were labelled 'mythology'.

"As we have seen, the ancient Sumerians were a very advanced race: they had schools, hospitals, lawyers, accountants, doctors, astronomers and historians. The training of these professionals was expensive and time consuming; the schools were strict and accuracy was everything, as can be seen from the scribal records. It is quite inconcievable that the scribes, clerks and historians, having gone through the academic system to win their qualifications, would then be sent out into the world to write mythology. Such an assumption is ludicrous. Their task was to record events of the past and the present as they understood them to be, and we now have the results of their labours to hand: tens of thousands of neatly written cuneiform tablets. But these are the very records which modern academia classifies as the legends of primitive people. Why? Because they do not conform to the accepted notions of a Church society which rewrote the accounts and has since defined its own known mythology as history.

Nippur was one of the longest-lived sites, beginning in the prehistoric Ubaid period (c. 5000 B. C. ) and lasting until about A. D. 800, in the Islamic era (Gibson 1992).

Kings, on ascending the throne in cities such as Kish, Ur, and Isin, sought recognition at Ekur, the temple of Enlil, the chief god of the Mesopotamian pantheon. In exchange for such legitimization the kings lavished gifts of land, precious metals and stones, and other commodities on the temples and on the city as a whole. At the end of successful wars, rulers would present booty, including captives, to Enlil and the other gods at Nippur. Most important, kings carried out for the city elaborate construction and restoration of temples, public administrative buildings, fortification walls, and canals. Even after 1800 B. C., when the Babylonians made Marduk the most important god in southern Mesopotamia, Enlil was still revered, kings continued to seek legitimization at Nippur, and the city remained the recipient of pious donations. NIPPUR - SACRED CITY OF ENLIL

Nippur has been the focus of major excavation since 1889 when the University of Pennsylvania opened the first American expedition in the Middle East. Finding the site a rich source for cuneiform tablets, that expedition continued to excavate at Nippur until 1900 [Hilprecht 1903; Peters 1897]. The main achievements of the expedition were to locate the ziggurat and temple of Enlil and to recover more than 30,000 cuneiform tablets of extraordinary literary, historical, grammatical, and economic importance. More than 80% of all known Sumerian literary compositions have been found at Nippur. Included were the earliest recognized versions of the Flood Story, parts of the Gilgamesh Epic, and dozens of other compositions.

It was these Sumerian works, plus an invaluable group of lexical texts and bilingual (Sumerian/Akkadian) documents that allowed scholars to make real progress in deciphering and understanding Sumerian. As important in historical terms are royal inscriptions from all periods, especially those of the Kassite Dynasty which ruled Mesopotamia from about 1600 to 1225 B. C. More than 80% of our knowledge of this dynasty has come from Nippur texts. In a special category of Nippur texts are the business archives of the Murashu family, merchant bankers who controlled vast commercial and agricultural interests under the Achaemenid Persian kings (c. 500 B.C.) [Stolper 1985].

The Babylonian 'Epic of Creation - Enuma Elish' is written on seven tablets, each are between 115 and 170 lines long.

It supposedly was written no later than the reign of Nebuchadrezzar in the 12th century B.C.E. But there is also little doubt that this story was written much earlier, during the time of the Sumerians. Drawing some new light on the ancients, Henry Layard found within the ruins of the library of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh, texts that were not unlike the Genesis creation in the Bible. George Smith first published these text in 1876 under the title, The Chaldean Genesis. Akkadian text written in the old Babylonian dialect.

The Babylonian god finished his work within the span of 6 tablets of stone. The last and 7th stone exalted the handiwork and greatness of the diety's work. Thus the comparison must be made that the 7 days of creation found in the Bible, borrowed its theme from the Babylonians and them from the Sumerians.

The Sumerian epic places Anu, Enlil and Ninurta as the heroes. The Babylonian epic stars Marduk. The Babylonian epic is the one you are about to read. Though it would be easy to say that this again is mere 'myth', what if it is not? What if one is looking here at a technical report, a report on the origins of our Solar System, our planet Earth, and the creation of mankind.

The epos is written in a style which is different from every day speech at the time. It uses an extended word variation with literary words that are normally not very frequent. This is characteristic for poetry. In prose texts there is no such inclination to use alternative formulations, like in the bible in Genesis I: ''And God saw ..., and God saw ..., and God created ..., and God created ....'' with little variation.

The text is constructed from two-line verses (sentence units). A concept is explained in two lines, a distich (from Greek di 'two' and stichos 'verse'). The two members maintain a relation that one could call ''rhyme in an abstract sense'' on the level of meaning. The meaning content of each verse appears in two parallel formulations often separated by leaving a blanc space, the so called parallelismus membrorum. The second part either emphasize the first part in different wording thereby extending the meaning, or the second part is an opposite statement, contrasting the first part. Compare the opening verse:

When above: the heaven has not been named Nor earth below: pronounced by name
Metre in the strict sense in which Greek and Latin literature is composed (groups of long and short syllables) was not used, but a line often has three to four (rarely five) stresses/beats. End rhyme nor alliteration occurs.

The creation of Man

Enki was the leader of the first sons of Anu that came down to Earth. He played the pivotal role in saving humanity from the global Deluge. He defied the Anunnaki ruling council and told Ziusudra (the Sumerian Noah) how to build a ship on which to save humanity from the killing flood. Ea would have been over 120 years old at that time, yet his activity with humanity continued to be actively reported for thousands of years thereafter. More on Enki

This is Noah's flood. The population explosion described in Genesis actually predates this flood. A bed of 'clay' layer that confirms there was a great flood, dates before 7000 BC.
according to C. Leonard Woolley. see Passage forward, page 5.and Passage, page 4. (automatic scroll down)
We also found evidence of a large meterorite hitting the earth in 7640BC., which could have prompted earthquakes and title waves. But the Sumerian text clearly reveals that each time the planet Nibiru passes close to the earth, a title wave is produced. Around 1600 B.C. was the last close passage of the planet. The Dogon Tribe of Mali, Africa also have a legend about a race of Amphibious Gods - Nommos - who came to Earth from Sirius approximately five thousand years ago.

continued; The instruction came firstly from Dragon Queen Tiâmat, the primeval mother of the Anunnaki, who said to Enki, 'O my son, rise from your bed........Work what is wise. Fashion servants of the gods, [and] may they produce their doubles'. To this, Enki replied.

O my mother, the creature whose name you uttered, it exists. Bind upon it the image of the gods..............Nin-mah [Nin-Khursag] will work above you.......{she} will stand by you at your fashioning. O my mother, decree upon its fate; Nin-mah will bind upon it in the mould of the gods. It is man.

Nin-Khursag was then approached by Enki and the Assembly, and was formally requested to create man 'to bear the yoke' of the Anunnaki.....

In political affairs, the relationship between Enki and his sister-wife Nin-Khursag was fraught with disagreement: they appear to have spent a great deal of time drinking wine and quarrelling. That apart, Nin-Khursag was a highly regarded anatomical specialist and there are many accounts of her research, which included the saving of Enki's semen to be applied to the cross-fertilisation of other life-forms. The documented 'creation chamber' of Nin-Khursag was called the House of Shimtî, from the Sumerian sh-im-tî, meaning 'breath-wind-life'.

Other texts we found called 'the lost books of Adam and Eve' reveal that Eve had 3 sets of twins. The above information confirms twins were implanted.

The discovery by modern science of the double helix structure of DNA offers the answer: The entwined Serpents emulated the structure of the genetic code, the secret knowledge of which enabled the creation of the Adam. The first man the Annuaki created called the "Adam".

The question is, "where did these females used as surrogate mothers - come from?" And there are seven pairs of twins we have never heard about. We did find information that Cain and Abel each had a twin sister but there must have been more children born in the line of Cain by his father Enlil or Seth and his father Adam. Seth's twin sister was called Noraia and that name is revealed in the Egyptian texts as Maat..This name is recorded in The Gospel of the Holy Twelve

The fundamental difference between the Sumerian records and the Genesis version of the creation of modern humankind was that the new men and women did not emerge in ready-made adult form. They were scientifically induced, with human ova fertilised by the Anunnaki, to be placed as cultured embryos into the wombs of surrogate mothers. As a result, they were born quite naturally as babies:

Nin-Khursag, being uniquely great,
Makes the womb contract.
Nin-Khursag, being a great mother,
Sets the birth-giving going.

Being the daughter of the great Anu, Nin-Khursag was the designated Lady of Life and her emblem (which is to be found on various tablet and cylinder representations ) was a symbolic womb, shaped rather like the Greek letter omega Ω . She was also called the Lady of Form-giving, Lady Fashioner and the Lady of the Embryo, while a text entitled Enki and the World Order called her the Midwife of the Country.

Likewise, Nin-Khursag's half-brother Enki, Lord of the Earth and Waters, was called Nudimmud, meaning 'Image Fashioner', being the 'archetype' of original form - the Master of Shaping and the Charmer of Making. "..and god made man in his image".

Tablet VI of the Enûma elish states that man was created with the blood of Kingu, a son of Tiâmat who had been executed for inciting a rebellion - and we have, in blood, an immediate relationship with 'red' as citied by Josephus. The Hebrew words for blood were adamu and dam, as in the goel ha dam (the blood avenger) of Deuteronomy (19:12). But, if man was fashioned soley from the blood of a god as suggested, then man (perceived as A-dam) would be a god, which is not the case - so there had to be another agent. Upon further investigation we discover that an alternative Mesopotamian Creation account details that advanced man was produced by uniting the blood of a god with clay. This was not ordinary clay as in cohesive earth, and yet the created man was said to be 'of the earth' - which is to say, more correctly, 'of the Earth', or more specifically given in the Anchor Bible, an 'earthling'.

In his first-century Antiquities of the Jews, Flavius Josephus adds an extra dimension, stating, 'This man was called Adam, which in the Hebrew tongue signifies one that is red, because he was compounded out of the red earth'. Josephus had been trained for the Pharisee priesthood, so he was clearly well versed in the correctness of his own Hebrew language. Nevertheless, in relating the word adam to 'one that is red' he called upon his further knowledge of the Akkadian language of Mesopotamia in which 'adamatu' was a dark-red earth. These two Semitic languages were not dissimilar, and the Hebrew word for 'red' was adom, while another word denoting something red was adum, as indicated by the Adummim (the red men) of the book of Joshua (15:7). In addition to all this, it is said in many dictionaries that the word adam actually means 'man'. So, in no particular order of preference, we have adom, adamah, adam - or, red, earth, man.

As detailed in Genesis, the Adam definition was applied to both the man and the woman, so in using the term 'man' we are speaking more generally of mankind, and thus of humankind, male and female (Zakar and Neqivah). It is clear that the primitive human race was not called Adam, for this was the name applied to the 'first of a kind' in about 3882 BC. In old languages such as Vedic, the word hu relates to 'mighty' and the proto-linguistic term hu-mannan (whence, 'human') identifies 'mighty man' (who is later known as Nimrod). So, as we us look at the Enûma elish, the Babylonian Creation epic, we find the inspirational source for Genesis. The time frame however is very different. What does this ancient work have to say on the matter ? (Common sence tells us this creation was not in 3882 BC. Homo sapians have been found that date back to 25,000 BC.

In the Nag hammidi texts, we verify another version of the creation story; "And at that time, the prime parent (Yaldabaoth) then rendered an opinion concerning man to those who were with him. Then each of them cast his sperm into the midst of the navel of the earth. Since that day, the seven rulers have fashioned man with his body resembling their body, but his likeness resembling the man that had appeared to them. His modelling took place by parts, one at a time. And their leader fashioned the brain and the nervous system. Afterwards, he appeared as prior to him. He became a soul-endowed man. And he was called Adam, that is, "father", according to the name of the one that existed before him."

"And when they had finished Adam, he abandoned him as an inanimate vessel, since he had taken form like an abortion, in that no spirit was in him. Regarding this thing, when the chief ruler remembered the saying of Pistis, he was afraid lest the true man enter his modelled form and become its lord. For this reason he left his modelled form forty days without soul, and he withdrew and abandoned it. Now on the fortieth day, Sophia Zoe sent her breath into Adam, who had no soul. He began to move upon the ground. And he could not stand up."

"... Nevertheless, Adam's was not the original earthly Blood Royal (the Sangreal). He was a prototype, a model for things to come, but he was not the physical progenitor of the kingly line. As will be detailed, there were a further two stages in the creative process - a process which involved Eve rather than Adam, which is in the Nag Hammidi Library texts and is discussed on Passage 2

"... Although the style of Abba (Father) moved into Semitic use, and was later adopted in the New Testament to define God, Mark 14:36; Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6., it was originally a Sumerian word which defined the sanga-lugal. Frankfort, H., Kingship and the Gods, p. 215.

Nag Hammidi Texts: "Then, when the seven rulers (Yaldabaoth's sons) came, they saw him and were greatly disturbed. They went up to him and seized him. And he (viz., the chief ruler Yaldabaoth ) said to the breath within him, "Who are you? And whence did you come hither?" It answered and said, "I have come from the force of the man for the destruction of your work." When they heard, they glorified him, since he gave them respite from the fear and the anxiety in which they found themselves. Then they called that day "Rest", in as much as they had rested from toil. And when they saw that Adam could stand up, they were glad, and they took him and put him in Paradise. And they withdrew up to their heavens."

"... In Hebrew the name Eve was Hawa (Ava), but the verbal root which gave rise to the name was hayah ('to live'). Alter, R., Genesis, p. 15. Hence Eve was akin to the Sumerian Nin-ti, which meant 'Lady of Life' - and this, as we have seen, was yet another title of Nin-khursag. The Sumerian word ti meant 'to make live', but another Sumerian word, ti (pronounced tee), meant 'rib'. Kramer, S. N., History Begins at Sumer, p. 210.
When Nin-khursag's title Nin-ti was applied to her surrogate daughter and transposed to the name Eve, it was correctly interpreted by the Genesis compilers, but its further association with Adam's rib was wholly inaccurate and had nothing whatever to do with the original accounts.

"An intriguing reference to the biblical 'rib' was made by the Protestant dissenter Mathew Henry in the early 1700s. Whereas Genesis (3:16) states that God said to Eve that Adam 'shall rule over thee' (a sexist guideline adopted by the Catholic and Anglican Churches), the Church dissenters claimed that Eve was 'not made of Adam's head so as to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him'. In pressuming the rib symbolism to be emblematic of male and female equality, the dissenters were rather more at odds with episcopal dogma than is generally portrayed by their reluctance towards the Book of Common Prayer.

"In considering the word hayah (to live), it is of interest to note that the similar Arabic word 'hayya' denoted a female serpent, whilst 'hayat' related to life. As detailed by the linguist Balaji Mundkur, the words were all akin in origin, Mundkur, Balaji, The Cult of the Serpent, State University of New York Press, Albany, NY, 1983, p. 70., and the definitions of 'life' and 'serpent' were mutually supportive. This is particularly relevant since Eve (Khawa/Hawah) was not only the Lady of Life, but was also described as the Lady of the Serpent."

Nag Hammidi Library; "After the day of rest, Sophia sent her daughter Zoe, being called Eve, as an instructor, in order that she might make Adam, who had no soul, arise, so that those whom he should engender might become containers of light. When Eve saw her male counterpart prostrate, she had pity upon him, and she said, "Adam! Become alive! Arise upon the earth!" Immediately her word became accomplished fact. For Adam, having arisen, suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw her, he said, "You shall be called 'Mother of the Living'. For it is you who have given me life.""
see Origin of the World

Careful study of the Nag Hammidi texts reveals to us that the 'force' of the man who gave them respite from fear is Christ or as he calls himself - Seth in the texts. The 'destruction' of their work is our knowledge of how and who did the work - and it is our 'consciousness'. That is we know we are alive and breathing and 'stuck' or imprisioned in a 'modeled form' - our body.

"Consciousness"; The dictionary says this is the moral goodness or blameworthiness of one's own conduct, intentions, or character or a feeling of obligation to do right or be good. You could say that our 'character' is derived from our genes and what we are taught as children- ie., right and wrong.
Since Enki gave man the right to partake of the 'tree of knowledge' and the 'tree of life', he could be equated with Christ or a 'Son of God', ie., a savior who gave us the ability to determine for ourselves the difference between right and wrong..
