The Passage Forward 5

Since we have some evidence that the human population was destroyed at least three other times, we connect these with the Vesuvius eruptions. Plato connects this 11,400 BP eruption with the last destruction of Atlantis ( his date 10,000 BP ) and Cayce on Atlantis tells us this also;
"From time as counted in the present we would turn back to 10,600 years before the Prince of Peace came into the land of promise, and find a civilization being disturbed by corruption from within to such measures that the elements join in bringing devastation to a stiff-necked and adulterous people".

While Enlil and Ninurta were credited with granting agriculture to mankind, the credit for the introduction of domesticated herds was given to Enki. It was after the first grains were already in cultivation but not yet “the grain that multiplies,” the grains with the doubled, tripled, and quadrupled chromosomes; these were created by Enki artificially, with Enlil’s consent.

While Ninurta was busy damming the mountains flanking Meso­potamia and draining its plains, Enki returned to Africa to assess the damage the Deluge had caused there. As it turned out, Enlil and his offspring ended up controlling all the high ground from the southeast (Elam, entrusted to man­na/Ishtar) to the northwest (the Taurus Mountains and Asia Minor, given to Ishkur/Adad), with the highland arching in between given to Ninurta in the south and Nannar/Sin in the north. Enlil himself retained the central position overlooking the olden E.DIN; the Landing Place on the Cedar Mountain was put under the command of Utu/Shamash. Wars of Gods and Men Zacharia Sitchen

The Aztecs were similar to the Sumerians, in that they used their superior mental abilities to pure power ends. Their mental abilities were supposed to unite and help the people, instead it corrupted them. They are compared to the Romans and the Mayans have been compared to the Greeks. The Toltecs were compared to the Etruscans. The Mayans had a calendar system which was calculated using the stars and the planets. This calendar is only slightly off the now used Gregorian calendar by only thousandths of a point. The Aztecs preached morality and justice. Spanish christians almost wiped them out.

The Cities, the Kings of the New World after the flood

In ancient SUMER, the cradle of civilisation, there were 4 leading gods representing heaven, air, water and earth - Ki/Ninti was the goddess of the earth (double serpent - also known as Nin-hursag and she was the wife of both Enlil and Enki.) She is also known as the mother of the 'living'.
The other three were male, Anu - A god of heaven, Enlil - god of air and Enki - god of water. Next were the 3 sky deities for the sun (Sin/Utu the son) and the moon and Venus. The daughter in the EPIC OF GILGAMESH, was (Ishtar in Mesopotamia/Akkad, Isis in Egypt) - Queen of Heaven and goddess of love, rain and thunderstorms, procreation and war. Temple rites were conducted by sacred prostitutes, eunuchs, priestesses, priests, singers and musicians. 'Ninti' means Lady of the Rib or Lady who Makes Live (ti meaning rib or to make life) - she is associated with EVE (Hawwah), Mother of All Creation and Pandora. So is this where we got Eve from Adam's rib? If it is, the meaning is mistranslated in the biblical text.

"During the fourth millennium there were major developments in metallurgy." Objects at Nahal Mishmar "were an alloy of copper and arsenic, which was easier to cast and harder than pure copper and was often used before tin or bronze in the second millennium BC."
"The first use of the plow in the Near East also dates from the Urik period....Plows, wheels, boats and donkeys were almost certainly in use before the Uruk period" in Northern Europe.
- Michael Roaf, Cultural Atlas of Mesopotamia

"At a period approximately 3,400 years before Christ, a great change took place in Egypt, and the country passed rapidly from a state of Neolithic culture with a complex tribal character to [one of] will-organized monarchy... "At the same time the art of writing appears, monumental architecture and the arts and crafts develop to an astonishing degree, and all the evidence points to the existence of a luxurious civilization. All this was achieved within a comparatively short period of time, for there appears to be little or no background to these fundamental developments in writing and architecture."
Walter B. Emery, Archaic Egypt

Since the area near where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers emptied into the Persian Gulf had two dominant groups, the Sumerians and Akkadians, it is often referred to as Sumer-Akkad. As part of an almost endless pattern, other people kept trying to take control of this area's land, mineral resources, and trade routes.

Eventually they succeeded. Semitic Amorites from the Arabian Penninsula gained control over most of Mesopotamia by about 1900 BC. They centralized their monarchical government over the city-state just north of Sumer, in Babylon, the area formerly called Akkad (Agade). The three centuries of their domination is known as the Old Babylonian Period.

Babylonians believed the king held power because of the gods; moreover, they thought their king was a god. To maximize his power and control, a bureaucracy and centralized government were established along with the inevitable adjuncts, taxation and involuntary military service.

The Sumerians already had laws, but they were administered jointly by individuals and the state. With a divine monarch came divinely inspired laws, violation of which was an offense to the state as well as the gods. The Babylonian king (1728 - 1686 BC) Hammurabi codified the laws in which (as distinct from the Sumerian) the state could prosecute on its own behalf. The Code of Hammurabi (see code of Laws) is famous for demanding punishment to fit the crime (the lex talionis, or an eye for an eye) with different treatment for each social class. The Code is thought to be Sumerian in spirit but with a Babylonian inspired harshness.

Hammurabi also united the Assyrians to the north and the Akkadians and Sumerians to the south. Trade with Anatolia, Syria, and Palestine spread Babylonian influence further. He further consolidated his Mesopotamian empire by building a network of roads and a postal system.

In religion, there wasn't much change from Sumer/Akkad to Babylonia. Hammurabi added a Babylonian Marduk, as chief god, to the Sumerian pantheon. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a Babylonian compilation of Sumerian tales about a legendary king of the city-state of Uruk, with a flood story. This is the 'origional flood' story that became known as Noah's flood. It says that the God's had a meeting stating that the population had grown out-of-control and a solution was needed to eliminate them. Thus is the reverse of the Genesis account where the population explodes after the flood.

When in the reign of Hammurabi's son, the horse-back invaders known as the Kassites, made incursions into Babylonian territory, the Babylonians thought it punishment from the gods, but they managed to recover and stayed in (limited) power until the beginning of the 16th century B.C. when the Hittites sacked Babylon, only to withdraw later because the city was too distant from their own capital. Eventually the Assyrians suppressed them, but even that was not the end of the Babylonians for they rose again in the Chaldean (or Neo-Babylonian) era from 612 - 539 made famous by their great king, Nebuchadnezzar. In 539 the Persian king Cyrus invaded. Babylonia remained under Persian rule until the time of Alexander the Great .....

The first ruler to succeed in uniting a large part of Mesopotamia under his scepter, the area ran from Elam to the Tarus Mountains, was Sargon I ( 2360-2305 BC.) The legend of his birth brings to mind Cyrus, Romulus, Krishna, Moses, and Perseus. His mother, a virgin, put him in a container, sealed it with pitch, and set it adrift on a stream. Akki, creator of the waters, raised the foundling to be a gardner, and later the goddess Ishtar made him a king. For a long time it was believed that Sharruken, ( legitimate king, Sargon ) had never really existed. Today the fact has been established that Sargon did live and wield a memorable historical influence. more see Forbidden 2 - Sargon

The merit of Sargonic art can be seen in the stele of Naramsin. The naturalistic sculpture, depicting a wide range of mythological scenes, reflected a high achievement in glyptic art. After more than a century the empire declined and was overrun by mountain tribes. When the Akkadian empire had fallen, Mesopotamia was in chaos. Peace was maintained only in the south in the city-state of Lagash under Gudea. Lagash was later absorbed by the 3d dynasty of Ur, which governed both Akkad and Sumer. Toward the end of the 3d millennium Elam took over most of the power as a new wave of Semitic-speaking peoples entered Mesopotamia. It was by defeating the Elamites that Hammurabi was able to create Babylonia. The name Akkad also appears as Accad. The image;(Baghdad: Iraq Museum). Sargon I (Sharrukin), king of Semitic Agade, created a fully developed absolute monarchy with hegemony over surrounding peoples. from. Akkad

From this area came the epic tale of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh as we know, is the first recorded history of 'the flood', which we date to 7640 BC. The story was pieced together from thousands of shards found on the mound of Kuyunjik. This area is on the banks of the Tigris river across from Mosul. Layard found these cuneiform lettered bricks in 1849. This area is also known to be where the city of Nineveh ( Tower of Babel ) was located. The Epic of Gilgamesh

Nineveh was the capitol of lands that extended into Syria and Palestine. In 1700 BC, Hammurabi, the Babylonian lawgiver, mentioned the Temple of Ishtar around which the city was built.
The tablets proved to be the key to a much older civilization, who handed down their words in clay. Fragments of them were dated to 4000 BC.

Leonard Woolley dug in the biblical city of Ur of Chaldea and confirmed the flood was of historical record there also. He found a mosaic called "the standard of Ur." He dated this to 3500 BC. It showed row upon row of tiny figures fashioned of mother of pearl and mussel shell, inlaid with lapis lazuli in asphalt on a wood base.
That means the flood was before 4000 BC as a culture had already developed and had 'began again'. The city of Ur lay thirty-eight feet under ground in a layer of ashes, decayed brick, clay shards, and rubbish. The headdress of Queen Shub-ad was found in a grave along with silver and copper boats and gold vessels. That means that art forms of real quality existed 5000 years BC. The link above to David Rohl's discoveries, also says the cuneiform tablets held by the Museum of the Orient in Istanbul, describe a 5000 year old route to Eden. If you add that to 5000BC, which is the date of the Sumerian priest-king of Uruk, you go back to before Noah's flood, the date of Enoch's time in earth and the building of the Great Pyramid.( 10,390 BC ).

Woolley found a limestone foundation tablet, with an inscription on it in cuneiform writing confirming the dedication of a temple. This temple was dedicated to the mother goddess Nin-Khusrag. The dedication was by "A-anni-padda, King of Ur, son of Mes-anni-padda, King of Ur. Mes-anni-padda appeared in the king lists as the founder of the third dynasty after the flood, that is at the head of the first dynasty of Ur. This king had been considered mythical and this find proved him real and historical. Abraham's Grandfather was also a king of Ur.

The temple was equipped with stairs, terraces, vestibule, and wooden columns inlaid with copper. It also contained rich mosaics, showing sculptured lions and deer. It was one of the oldest pieces of construction in the world in which notable size was coupled with artistic handling. Woolley also found a golden bead.

Final proof of much older origins come in the layer of clay found another forty feet down. This layer was 8.2 feet thick and he says, recorded the actual flood. If thirty eight feet is equal to 5000 years, how long is the period of yet another forty feet? We think it is equal to another 6,400 years and coincides with the Vesuvius eruption. This equals 147 to 152 feet of earth layer per thousand years.

This article backs up our theory; WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 — The biblical story of Noah and the great flood inspired this engraving by Gustave Dore, titled "Dove Sent Forth From the Ark." Now scientists say they have found new evidence for a catastrophic flood thousands of years ago. Scientists have discovered an ancient coastline 550 feet below the surface of the Black Sea, providing dramatic new evidence of a sudden, catastrophic flood around 7,500 years ago—the possible source of the Old Testament story of Noah. A TEAM of deep-sea explorers this summer captured the first sonar images of a gentle berm and a sandbar submerged undisturbed for thousands of years on the sea floor. Now, using radiocarbon dating techniques, analysts have shown that the remains of freshwater mollusks subsequently dredged from the ancient beach date back 7,500 years and saltwater species begin showing up 6,900 years ago. see "New evidence of ancient flood"

The findings offer independent verification of a theory advanced by Columbia University geologists William Ryan and Walter Pitman that the Black Sea was created when melting glaciers raised the sea level until the sea breached a natural dam at what is now the Bosporus, the strait that separates the Mediterranean Sea from the Black Sea. Ryan and Pitman also suggested that the flood may have triggered massive migrations to destinations as diverse as Egypt, western Europe and central Asia, an idea that has provoked some academic controversy. Shanks pointed out that biblical scholars date the writing of the Book of Genesis, from which the story of Noah is taken, at sometime between 2,900 and 2,400 years ago, and a similar event is described in the Mesopotamian Gilgamesh legend, written about 3,600 years ago. The findings described here, prove this to be correct. But you then have a time span of 7,000 years before the writing took place which leaves us with the possibility of misinterpretation and corrections that lost the truth.

Hundreds of stories about "the Flood".. see Flood from all over the world. exerpt; An earlier flood was reported to have occurred in the time of Ogyges, founder and king of Thebes. The flood covered the whole world and was so devastating that the country remained without kings until the reign of Cecrops. "Many great deluges have taken place during the nine thousand years" since Athens and Atlantis were preeminent. Destruction by fire and other catastrophes was also common. In these floods, water rose from below, destroying city dwellers but not mountain people. The floods, especially the third great flood before Deucalion, washed away most of Athens' fertile soil. [Plato, "Timaeus" 22, "Critias" 111-112]

More early artifacts

There are two serpentine symbols associated with medicine today, the staff of Aesculapius and the Cadeuceus, although the staff of Aesculapius has the strongest mythological association to healing. Aesculapius was a Roman physician who was such a skilled healer that he became a god, and temples were dedicated to him. The symbol of his wooden staff with only one snake coiled around it was adopted by the American Medical Association early last century.

The similarity of this symbol to the double helix of DNA strands is a common observation. By looking at Greek myths we can find links to cataclysms and re-creation...

The Cadeuceus has a slightly more ancient background and, more importantly, it reinforces our links between floods, DNA and serpents/dragons.

Hermes/Thoth appears to be the same character as Quetzalcoatl/Kulkulcan/Nahuatl of Mesoamerica. The both had serpent imagery (Quetzalcoatl was a feathered serpent, Hermes wore a winged hat and sandals and carried the Cadeuceus) and each provided similar services to their people (Quetzalcoatl cured ailments, introduced corn, science, calendars, created fire and gave instruction of music and dance). Another mythical cousin to these two is Buddha. Also a great teacher, he had a virgin mother named Maya.

How Old are we really?

Egyptologists focus on 3100 BC and the "Scorpion" Dynasty as being the oldest. The King identified with this dynasty is Menes. Other evidence we find in Egyptian culture is not dated any farther back than 5500 BC to 3800 BC, but there are other details and objects that date the culture much farther back in time. Egyptologists are slow in revealing these details. The first of the pre dynastic cultures of Egypt in Upper Egypt, that is that part of Egypt south of modern Cairo, was the so-called BADARIAN, named after the type-site of el-Badari near Asyut. The BADARIAN period is roughly dated by the Carbon 14 method and by thermoluminescence dating from 5500 BC to 3800 BC.

We seem to have only two recognized written forms of dating the old dynasties. One, that it begins with an enumeration of gods, demigods, spirits and mythical beings that were supposed to have ruled Egypt before the reign of Menes. It was not a cultic list and it does not serve the purpose of showing the current king as the good heir to his "ancestors". It is broken into over 160 often very small fragments, many of which have been lost. When it was discovered in the Theban necropolis by the Italian traveler Bernardino Drovetti in 1822, it seems to have been largely intact, but by the time it became part of the collection of the Egyptian Museum in Turin, its condition had severely deteriorated.

A king list written on papyrus from the New Kingdom is in the Turin Museum.
"Originally it listed around 300 names of kings, and the aim of its compiler was completeness. No king seems to have been too minor or sort-reigned for inclusion. the Palestinian kings who formed the Hyksos Dynasty were included, even though they did not merit having heir names written in cartouches. This, in fact, was a remarkable concession to reality: tacitly admitting a break in the succession of legitimate kings just for the purpose of attaining completeness. Against each king in the Turin list was written the precise length of his reign, sometimes to the exact day. At certain points a summary of numbers of kings and total length of reigns was inserted. Thus at the end of what we now the 8th Dynasty, a summary of 958 years, from the reign of King Menes, the first name of the lists, was provided."
"Immediately before Menes came several lines which summarize the collective reigns of 'spirits', not given individual names, and before these, and heading the whole compilation, a list of deities. The name of each is written in a cartouche, as if a king, and followed by a precise length of reign. In the case of the god Thoth, for example, this is 7,726 years."
- Jean-Philipe Lauer, Saqqara

The papyrus now 1.7m long and 0.41m wide , comprises on the recto an unknown number of pages that hold a list of names of persons and institutions, along with what appears to be the tax-assessment of each. However the papyrus is missing it's first part.
This is what remains;
I,x - I,21: Ptah and the Great Ennead
I,22 - II,3 : Horus and the Lesser Ennead (?)
II,4 - II,8 : the spirits
II,9 : a mythical group of kings
II,10 : another group of mythical kings (?)
from.. The Turin Cannon

Another source gives the so-called mythical kings names Turin Papyrus then click Transcription I. You will find on this list the names of the 'Gods' which are written matching the Sumerian names for the planets.

The other source is named after the Horus Narmer, whose titulary appears on both its faces, the Narmer Palette is a flat plate of schist of about 64 centimeters in height. Its size, weight and decoration suggest that it was a ceremonial palette, rather than an actual cosmetics palette for daily use. It was found in Hierakonpolis, the ancient Pre-Dynastic capital located in the south of Egypt, by the British archaeologist J.E. Quibell during the excavation season of 1897/98, in a deposit, along with other artifacts stemming from the early beginnings of the recorded history of Ancient Egypt: Fragments of a ceremonial mace head belonging to Narmer and some other mace head fragments inscribed with the name of the Horus.

and Narmer 1 The reverse side and.. Narmer 2

Of a hieroglyphic drawn on the palatte, it is said, "Their reading is unknown so even if they do denote names of places, we do not know which places they are. In light of the symbolic representation of a marshland in the main scene of the palete (see above), it is not unlikely that these two places were located in the Nile Delta." But 10,000 years previous, there was marsh land in the Nile valley. The period of Narmer, follows the Scorpion dynasty according to Egyptologists. How could science determine the true age of a stone monument? Nobody can correctly date rock, so how old is it really? Another explanation to Narmer dating.. New Date
Note: Mace was only known to be grown on the North American continent and was supposedly discovered by Christopher Columbus. We have proof he did not discover America.( see Knights Templar )
Archaic Period .. I Dynasty

It is clear from the content of the inscriptions in the pyramid of Unas, that many of the utterances had been in existence for centuries. Spell 662 tells the dead king to cast the sand from his face, which seems to allude to burial in the desert sand as practiced in the pre dynastic period. Spell 355 says that the bricks have been removed from the tomb, and must refer to the mud brick mastabas of the Archaic Period.

But we have something much older, The Emerald Tablets of Thoth. The words are written on the substance known in Masonic legend as Laterus but now are known as 'emerald', somewhere around 36,000 - 38,000 BC. The substance is not reproducible in modern science. It is a hard gem quality material that is opaque. Some now call it glass. We believe this to be incorrect.

They also showed dinosaurs and men riding them. These men were shorter and had larger heads than modern man. These are called the Ica Stones of Peru. Human footprints found in same layer as dinosaur prints in Glen Rose, Texas. More on Glen Rose. These were called "giant man tracks" and would seem to coincide with the bible's mention of the fallen angles being large size and roaming the earth in the times of Noah. And this coinsides with the image of the large-headed man you saw on Passage forward 3. Large men were also mentioned when Moses led the Israelites to Canaan. This date agrees with our own theory that Moses left Egypt around 1510 BC and arrived in Israel in 1456 BC..

Compair what we now know with what biblical writers tell us.
The Earth has four corners. (Isa. 11: 12*)
From the above it has been presumed that the Earth is flat.
The Sun moves around the Earth (Josh. 10: 13*)
And from the above it is presumed the Earth is at the centre of the Universe.

One of the main reasons why the various religions and their adherents have stridently opposed the proposition that evolution has been involved with the creation process is solely because of their rudimentary understanding of the scripture. Therefore they maintain that the seven 'days' of creation, as given in the Genesis account, are of the literal 24 hour variety. They also maintain that Biblical chronology will not allow for this event to have taken place any earlier than 6000 years ago! And they do this in the same way that their 'spiritual' predecessors demanded that the earth had four corners and that the earth itself was flat.

As the laws of the natural creation has been gradually unraveled by such persons as Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton etc., so the biblical fundamentalists have had to make a steady retreat in their assertions (and interpretations). Not that they have been able to give any real explanations for why they have insisted the scripture has only been written in the literal terms on which they have based their conclusions. And their retreat has usually been a very reluctant one, to say the least, and mostly done in bad grace. In fact, it has only been in the last few years (1996) that the Pope has gone so far as to admit to the injustices his organization had perpetrated on Galileo at the time of the Inquisition - and all of which, it should be remembered, was perpetrated in the name of God (Truth)!

And once again the Pope has now been forced to admit to the validity of the process of evolution even though he would subject it to certain limitations.

Yet, these persons, in spite of having gone from pillar to post in retreating from their man-made doctrines, show no sign of questioning their own rationality or competence. For the Creationists (Literalists) are right up front and strident with their assertions that the Genesis account of the days of creation is all to be taken literally, in exactly the same way as they demanded for their previous erroneous conclusions.

Any suggestion that the account in Genesis has an allegoric content is usually rejected out of hand, with the same arrogance that their predecessors had in their rejection of any opposition to the literalities quoted above (like with a flat earth). Consequently, the net result of their actions has been to bring the reputation of the scripture into ill-repute today. That this is the case should not be at all surprising for the scriptures had already predicted that such a situation would arise (2 Peter 2: 1, 2*).

What is being stated by the evolutionist, and by those persons who observe nature, is that the way our earth has been created is written in the footprints of time. And in adhering to the scriptural principle stated in Rom. 1: 20*, they have naturally been forced to the conclusion that the earth has evolved gradually over a considerable period of time. The fossil records alone detailing this position are indeed impressive and overwhelming for those who have eyes to see, apart from other scientific evidence pointing to the same conclusion.

Consequently, the Creationist's whole premise has to centre around the question as to whether the Genesis account of the scripture is literal or allegoric, and if it is allegoric how literal is its analogies? The true Evolutionist, unlike the Creationist, has no problems with what nature is saying, or the Biblical account for that matter, but merely with the interpretations the Creationists wish to place upon that account.

The allegoric content of Genesis in general terms is made quite clear from the above mentioned explaination, and it is the kernel construction of the Bible which demands that Genesis have this allegorical content. The scriptural proof for the linkage between these two patterns in allegoric terms is given at Hebrews 4: 4-9* where it specifically links the two types of the day of rest (Sabbaths). Also the text at 2 Pet. 3: 8* vouches for the interchangeability of the values applying to a 'day' as required by the scriptures' coded language. And once the validity of the information in Genesis as being allegoric is proven, any demands for a literal interpretation of those texts should be automatically brought into question, and that is because it should be manifest that one is dealing with the hidden languages of the scripture.

It is those who wrest the import of the Bible's information out of its proper context who create the problems (2 Peter 3: 16*), which in turn results in the Bible's integrity being brought into question. It is the Creationist's presumptions that have put the credibility of the Bible on the line, not those of the Evolutionist. The Evolutionist's manifest desire is to get at the truth of the matter, but he usually finds that the Creationist is not willing to have his view of 'truth' disturbed or questioned in any way, leave alone that he should listen to reason!

Allegorical lessons were also taught by Jesus. That is the main reason the literalists cannot interrupt scripture correctly. Many things he said are not literal by meaning. However some are and the litertalists missunderstood those too.
