As mentioned already, Ethiopia, Afrika, and Egypt became conquered by the Arabs. In ancient Sumaria, consisting of present day Iraq (6500 BC began ‘The Fertile Crescent’, the Mesopotamian civilization of Sumer – Summer – Summerland), people recorded the historical, philosophical, and religious perspectives of their people in The Sumerian Texts. Annu of the Annunaki, the king of the throne of Nibiru and the holy city of Annu, was father to Enki (Ea – Earth – Yah – Jah) and Enlil (first and second born sons respectively). Enki was passed up to be next in succession because his mother was a concubine, like Hagar and Ishmael. This had caused Marduk to rebel for what was done to his father, Enki. Enki’s first born son, Marduk, was also known as Amon (Amen) Ra (Ja, Jahweh, Jehovah). The Enlilites and Enkiites were constantly fighting each other. Enki’s son Thoth born after Maarduk was banished by his father, going off to Central and South America (of which an oldest known ancient civilization, among the Taino perhaps, laid along the Peruvian coast in 3200 BC). The Arabs and Ancient Sumaria were later conquered by the Greeks (Alexander the Great).
Helicon, referenced already as Annu\ Heliopolis as well as ‘Heli’ father of Joseph according to Luke, was one of the Muses’ mountains where Hesiod had lived. Zeus was the great father of the Muses, who some claim was Annu, the founder and the father of the Annu. Hesiod was a poor and struggling farmer and the oldest Greek writer besides Homer who is believed to have lived around the 8th or 9th century. In ‘Mythology’ by author Edith Hamilton she writes, “One particular day the Nine (Muses) appeared to him and they told him, ‘We know how to speak false things which seem true, but we also know, when we will, to utter such true things’. They were the companions of Apollo, the God of Truth, as well as of the Graces… The man they inspired (Hesiod) was sacred far beyond any priests.”
“Saturn (Saturday or Saturn’s day) was the most important… Saturn ruled over the other Titans until his son Zeus dethroned him and seized power for himself. The Romans said when Jupiter, their name for Zeus, ascended the throne, Saturn fled to Italy and brought in The Golden Age, a time of perfect peace and happiness, lasting as long as he had reigned… The first creatures who had the appearance of life were children of Mother Earth and Father Heaven (Gaea and Uranus, also spelled Gaia and Ouranos, or Our Anos, perhaps Our Annus). They were monsters. Just as we believe the earth was once inhabited by strange gigantic creatures, so did the Greeks… In the tales about them, they do not seem really alive but rather to belong to a world where as yet there was no life, only tremendous movements of irresistible forces lifting up the mountains and scooping out the seas. The Greeks apparently had such feelings because in stories, although they do represent these creatures as living beings, they make them unlike any form of life known to man. Three of them, monstrously huge and strong, had each a hundred hands and fifty heads. To three others were given the name of cyclops (the Wheel eyed), because each had one enormous eye, as round and as big as a wheel, in the middle of their forehead… Last came the Titans”.
“It was natural to think of these creatures as the children of Mother Earth (Gaia), brought forth from her dark depths when the world was young. But it is extremely odd that they were also the children of heaven (Ouranos). However, this was what the Greeks said, and they made Heaven out to be a very poor father. He hated the things with 100 hands and 50 heads, even though they were his sons, and when each was born he imprisoned it in a secret place within the earth… Earth, enraged at the maltreatment of her other children, appealed to them to help her. But only one was bold enough, the Titan Cronus. He lay in wait for his father and wounded him terribly… From that time on for untold ages, Cronus, he whom as we have seen the Romans had called Saturn, was lord of the universe, with his sister-queen, Rhea (Ops in Latin). Finally one of their sons, the future ruler of heaven and earth, whose name in Greek is Zeus and in Latin Jupiter, rebelled against him. He had good cause to do so, for Cronus had learned that one of his children was destined some day to dethrone him and he sought to go against fate by swallowing them as soon as they were born. But when Rhea bore Zeus, her sixth child, she succeeded in having him secretly carried off to Crete, while she gave her husband a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes… Later, when Zeus was grown, he forced his father along with the help of his grandmother, the Earth, to disgorge it along with the five earlier children (Pluto, Hestia, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter), and it was set up at Delphi where eons later a great traveler, Pausanias by name, reports that he saw it about 180 A.D.: ‘A stone of no great size which the priests of Delphi anoint every day with oil’… There followed a terrible war between Cronus, helped by his brother Titans, against Zeus along with his five brothers and sisters- a war that almost wrecked the universe. The Titans were conquered, partly because Zeus released from their prison the hundred- handed monsters who fought for him with their irresistible weapons- like thunder, lightning, and earthquakes- and also because one of the sons of the Titan Iapetus, whose name was Prometheus and who was very wise, took sides with Zeus… Still later one more attempt was made to unseat Zeus: the Giants rebelled. But by this time the gods were very strong and they were helped too by mighty Hercules, son of Zeus.”
“The Giants were defeated and hurled down to Tartarus; and the victory of the radiant powers of Heaven over the brutal forces of Earth was complete. From then on, Zeus and his brothers and sisters ruled, undisputed lords of all. As yet there were no human beings; but the world, now cleared of the monsters, was ready for mankind… And around Earth flowed the great river, Ocean, never troubled by wind or storm… In the remotest North, so far away it was at the back of the North Wind, was a blissful land where the Hyperboreans lived. Only a few strangers, great heroes, had ever visited it. Not by ship nor yet on foot might one find the road to the marvelous meeting place of the Hyperboreans. But the Muses lived not far from them… In that holy race, sickness and deathly old age had no part. Far south was the country of the Ethiopians, of whom we know only that the gods held them in such favor they would sit at joyful Afrakan banquets with them in their halls.”
“God created men and women to be like God… giving them blessings and calling them human beings… Adam (Nefer-Atum) was the first man… When he was one hundred thirty years old, Adam had a son just like him, and he named him Seth (NTR of the desert & storms)… In Hebrew ‘Seth’ sounds like given… Adam had more children… Lamech was one hundred eighty-two when he had a son, and Lamech said, ‘I’ll name him Noah because he will give us comfort as we struggle to make a living on this land’… More and more people were born, until finally they spread all over the earth. Some of their daughters were so beautiful that supernatural beings (aliens) or angels came down and married the ones they wanted. Then the Lord said, ‘I won’t let my life-giving breath remain in anyone forever so no one will live for more than one hundred twenty years.’ The children of the supernatural beings who married these women became famous heroes or warriors. They were called Nephilim (Enlillites) and lived on the earth at that time and even later. The Lord saw how bad the people on earth were and that everything that they thought and planned was evil… God said, ‘I’ll destroy every living creature on the earth! I’ll wipe out people, animals, birds, and reptiles. I’m sorry that I ever made them.’ But the Lord was pleased with Noah… Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, had come out of the boat. Ham later had a son Canaan. All people on earth are descendants of Noah’s three sons… Japheth’s descendants had their own languages, tribes, and land (Magog)… Ham’s descendants had their own languages, tribes, and land. They were Ethiopia, Egypt, Put (Ptah – Guardian of Creativity), and Canaan. Cush was the ancestor of Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. Raamah was the ancestor of Sheba and Dedan. Cush was also the ancestor of Nimrod, a mighty warrior whose strength came from the Lord… Cush first ruled in Babylon, Erech, and Accad (Accadian Mesopotamian Empire in the 24th century BC is often considered the first empire in history), all of which were in Babylonia. From there Nimrod went to Assyria… Egypt was the ancestor of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim, and Caphtorim, the ancestor of the Philistines – from Caphtor better known as Crete. Later the Canaanites spread from the territory of Sidon and went as far as the Gaza region… Shem’s descendants had their own languages, tribes, and land. Shem was the older brother of Japheth… He was the ancestor of Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram… Arpachshad was the father of Shelah… At first every one spoke the same language, but after some of them moved from the east and settled in Babylonia they had said: Let’s build a city with a tower that reaches out to the sky! We’ll use hard bricks and tar instead of stone and mortar. We’ll become famous, and we won’t be scattered all over the world. But when the Lord came down to look at the city and the tower he said: Soon they will be able to do anything that they want… Let’s go down and confuse them by making them speak different languages… So then the people had to stop building the city, because the Lord confused their language and scattered them all over earth. That’s how the city of Babel got it’s name.
Jacob had twelve sons while living in northern Syria… He lived in the land of Canaan, where his father Isaac had lived… Jacob loved Joseph more than he did any of his other sons because Joseph was born after Jacob was very old… One day when… Joseph came to his brothers, they pulled off his fancy coat and threw him down in a dry well… So Judah said, ‘Let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not harm him.’… Jacob mourned for Joseph a long time… The Midianites had sold Joseph in Egypt to a man named Potiphar… The king sent for Joseph…The king said to Joseph, ‘I had a dream… I am told you can interpret dreams.’ Joseph replied: ‘Your Majesty, you should find someone who is wise and would know what to do, so that you can put him in charge of all Egypt.’ The king told Joseph, ‘Although I AM king, no one in Egypt is to do anything without your permission. He gave Joseph the Egyptian name Zaphenath Paneah… And he let him marry Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, a priest in the holy city of Heliopolis (On Or Annu). Joseph traveled all over Egypt…
Jesus Christ came from the family of King David and also from the family of Abraham… From Abraham to King David, his ancestors were: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah and his brothers (Judah’s sons were Perez and Zerah, and their mother was Tamar)… Ram, Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon, Boaz… Obed (his mother was Ruth), Jesse, and King David… Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, and Jehoiachin and his brothers… Eliud, Eleazar, Matthan, Jacob, and Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus, who is called the Messiah.”
I sense a destructive nature that disregards our environment & humanity, and so I fight to reawaken agape, respect for the planet, our future, and each other. Evil does exist. Some consider evil to be immorality. For some it’s selfishness. For some it’s lawlessness. For some it’s deceit. The greatest trick that the devil ever played was convincing the world “he” does not exist. There are many things I really don’t know, but what I do know is that I actually am a believer. I live with my eyes & ears open to my surroundings, mind open to change & curiosities, and heart open to what is real & what is possible.
