We have to know where we come from if we’re going to have a clear idea of where we’re going. If we have illusions and false ideas about who and what we are and how we got here, then that illusory state is just going to continue into the future.

We need to understand the forces that were involved in shaping the modern world.

“Remember, everything is right until it’s wrong. You’ll know when it’s wrong. “ Ernest Hemingway

Ancient Sumeria.

According to mainstream scholars, this is the birthplace of civilization as we know it, the birthplace of religion,

The first science, the first war, and the first written word.

Now, all that is left is a message buried beneath the sand.

Archeologists and scholars have been piecing evidence together for centuries in this area of the world, hoping to prove the biblical stories of the Garden of Eden.

Most people think, “Well, we’re interested in the Middle East because of the oil.” There’s a lot of truth in that.

But at the same time, you’re going to find people who are very interested in these different esoteric philosophies, like the Freemasons in government or the Christians in government. All of these people have long had a strong interest and also believe that there may be some kind of power or some sort of connection there and that if you make it, it empowers you in some way.

What kind of power could these groups have if they could prove how humanity started?

The search for something more powerful than our own current reality isn’t a modern concept, but rather an ongoing search for the location of the garden of Eden. the proverbial beginning.

There’s been a fixation amongst biblical scholars and early archaeologists that everything in the Middle East began on the Euphrates and the Tigris, in what is today, lower Iraq. And that is where the garden of Eden was. This was where everything emerged, good and bad, in the sort of genesis tradition.

In 1922, English archeologist C. Leonard Woolley went to southern Iraq to hopefully find the Garden of Eden based on early discoveries of Sumerian cuneiforms.

However, what he actually uncovered instead was the exact location of the ancient Sumerian city of Ur.

Was he getting close?

The early archaeologists were trying to prove the Bible, and they were funded by biblical societies. And that’s, you know, in other words, they had to come up with the proof. And it ignored a lot of legends and traditions that suggested that these cities were elsewhere.

Could Woolley have ignored some important information that had been revealed several years earlier?

In 1849, almost 75 years earlier, thousands of Sumerian cuneiforms were found northwest of Ur at the ancient cities of Sippar and Nippur.

In 1849, many excavations were performed on the sippar site and about 20,000 tablets were discovered in Sumerian and Akkadian.

And amongst all the tablets discovered, about a dozen of them are about the garden of Eden.

Could this be the location of the Garden of Eden? Or was this just another clue leading researchers to another location?

Subsequent cultures, whether the Assyrians or the Babylonians, who rose to prominence in that area but who were not Sumerians, nevertheless venerated and highly valued everything that the Sumerians did. And that’s why we can read the Sumerian language because those later cultures made a project of taking Sumerian texts and translating them into their language.

And those were languages that the scholars could read because they were Semitic languages, which belong to a language family where the code could be cracked. Without those translations done by later cultures who nevertheless had contact with Sumer, we would not be able to read those Sumerian texts at all.

Were these later cultures able to decipher the beginnings of humanity?

Gerry Zeitlin, who was a scientist who worked on The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) project for many years and collaborated with NASA, was very interested in the Sumerian translations, and he provided 10 tablets found on Sippar to check symbols one by one. They noticed one translation saying one thing and the other saying sometimes the complete opposite. The two translations were incompatible.

They persistently did research on Hebrew, but nothing came out of it. And then, completely by chance, they came across a Sumero-Akkadian lexicon, and it was at that point that they could finally start to translate the tablets.

What they began to translate was a completely different version of the Garden of Eden than we’ve heard before. Not only had the words been mistranslated, the actual location had been overlooked.

In biblical texts, we constantly read about this idea of heaven or paradise. This comes from the Greek phrase “paradisos”, which literally means “enclosure for wild animals.” Not paradise, a term that was later transcribed as “garden” during the Hellenistic era.

If we go back to the original translation in the Sumerian tablets, it says the men who serve the gods work for them in the garden and are treated like animals. It is a very clear and recurrent theme. They are slaves who serve the divine community. In Hebraic texts, we understand that humans seem content in this so-called paradise, which is, in fact, more like a concentration camp, according to Sumerian texts.

In the translations, they also discovered the word kharsag, which means “the city of the gods.”

It’s interesting that all the highest points in Turkey are named “Karadag,” which strangely resembles “Kharsag.”

The Turkish word karadag means “black mountain,” and it also refers to Turkey’s highest mountains. The only summit with the name “Karadag” that is close to the Mesopotamian plain and tributary of the Tigris and only a few kilometers from the Euphrates, stands south of the city of Sirte and southwest of the city of Ur. Is this the paradise described in the Sumerian text?

The Garden of Eden was where the four rivers emerged from, two of which are easily identified as the Euphrates and the Tigris, which do indeed flow through modern Iraq and empty out into the Arabian Sea, but they rise in southeast Turkey. And the other two rivers can be identified as rivers that also rise in southeast and eastern Turkey. All of these rivers emerge in the same general parts of the world that we know today as either eastern or southeastern Turkey.

With the decoding of the Sumerian cuniforms and the location of these four rivers, could this be the actual location of the Garden of Eden?

As easy as it may seem to get to this location to excavate, scholars and archaeologists consider this area highly politically unstable, and it has remained untouched. All we have at the moment is the language to decode from the Sumerian cuneiforms, the cuneiforms that describe a different kind of paradise. These 10 tablets tell the Sumerian version of how the Garden of Eden was created. From the translations, they discovered that when the Sumerian gods arrived on earth, they settled on this mountain in order to create a colony and be able to survive. Apparently, they suffered damage and ended up on this mountain because of the war, and they found shelter.

Many experts believe that they came from the Pleiades star cluster. Maybe the war broke out around there. But this is where they believe the annunas were created. During this conflict, on one hand, you have a matriarchal regime, and on the other hand, a patriarchal one with all these new gods. There are conflicts in space, in those new landscapes. Like it says on the genealogy of the land tablet, these gods are going to change the way life gets implanted on earth. The gods are going to create new conditions for life to bloom for their colony to thrive.

But who are these gods that hope to make the earth their home?

In the epic of Atarahasis and others, they talk about how the earth was actually administered by a conference of gods or a group of gods. In an assembly, it wasn’t just one god. Yeah, they would have their equivalent of a prime minister or a CEO who would be in charge of this group.

There were the primary members of this congress there.

Well, Enki and Enlil in the Sumerian system are an interesting pair.

Enlil is this sort of overarching, domineering, angry, dangerous entity. And he doesn’t really care about humanity. Humanity is not very important to him. But then we have Enki, the trickster and the god of wisdom, actually. And he does care about humanity and he intervenes on a human level.

They are called gods, but they were humanoid beings, or rather, reptilian types. The texts of Eden that they translated depict clearly and quite frequently the reptilian features of the gods. They estimate that the gods arrived approximately 300,000 years ago. And this derives from the fact that Homo sapiens arrived shortly after. They say this because genetics and human transformation are recurring themes throughout the texts. E, which means “home,” and den, or ten, which means “life,” are the two particles that make up the word “Eden.”

But indeed, they are not alone. Humans are already on Earth.

Who are these human beings?

If the Sumerian gods realized that they were not alone, what might have been their interaction with these kinds of humans?

What can be noted in the Sumerian tablets is that when they clearly speak of creating workers to serve the annunas, the main geneticist is always Enki. He works with the genome that is on the planet to create a new kind of human. He is usually helped by priestesses that they often call the nintis, who are the priestesses of life. They know how to clone him.

He can change the human genomes according to what Enlil asks of him, which would be left-brained, well-disciplined humans.

When we look at Sumerian tradition, it is a group of beings rather than one being that creates humankind. So it is not a single creator but a group of intelligent, technologically-advanced beings. And where the Sumerian creation varies from the Christian traditions, for example, and some of the native traditions, humankind began with the sacrifice of the life of an advanced being, of a god from Sumeria, so that that god’s DNA, or blood, as the texts say, could be mixed with the elements of the earth to create the first viable human.

These are the people who have the knowledge to clone. They can clone themselves and then humans. In the texts, it says that they take genes from their opponents, whom they consider inferior and who they name Kingu. They use their blood and they will go on to create the new human who is going to serve them with these genes.

Researchers stumbled across some research that has connected the Sumerian translations to an actual genetic change in our chromosomes.

Shedding new light on these creation stories is the mystery of human chromosome number 2.

Human chromosome number 2 is the second largest chromosome in the human body. It forms about 8% of the DNA in every cell. And what makes it such a mystery is that it appears to be the result of an ancient fusion of pre-existing chromosomes from primates that have been fused in a very precise way, and the fusion site has been modified and stabilized so that human chromosome number 2 is optimized for us today. This has happened in a way that cannot be explained by evolution as we know it today.

And why is this important?

Human chromosome number 2 contains the genes that largely set us apart from all other forms of life. The cortex of the human brain gives us the ability to do things like logic, empathy, sympathy, compassion, and the ability to consciously trigger conscious states of self-healing within our bodies. These are possible because of what has happened with human chromosome number 2.

Could chromosome number 2 be the work of a master geneticist, otherwise known as “Enki” in the Sumerian text?

It is said that Enki secretly modifies the human genes by group or by location and infuses some humans with knowledge that is different to the point where the other gods turn against him.

His experiment will change human genes to enlighten mankind. And through this cloning process that the annunas and Enlil are overlooking, some humans filter through all of this and start becoming independent.

This is something that the gods did not expect from these new humans that keep appearing in the ancient text. And that is the human ability to be more than just slaves. This forms a division of the gods, a division that causes a war, a war that has set the tone for humanity today.

There are very interesting parallels between the story of the Sumerian origins of modern humanity and what we see in modern dialogues about AI.

We now have the rebooted Westworld, in which something that originated as the idea of a robotic consciousness turns out to be essentially a flesh-and-blood creation, which is then infused with a consciousness. Thus, asking the question, if they can reproduce, if they are self-aware, is this not the next level of humanity?

An interesting and very important name in the biblical text and the Sumerian text is the word “Adam” from the garden of Eden. Extensive tests have been conducted to see where this word comes from.

Consistently looking for Hebrew roots, but it is a Sumerian word which means “animal.”

Again, we understand that human beings were considered to be animals by the Sumerian gods, and this is where lies the conflict between the two gods, Enki and Enlil.

Enki wants to treat them like the other gods.

These two Sumerian gods have a conflict over the use of humans, and it is said to be the root of the biblical story of the serpent in the garden. As the story unravels, the riddle starts with the origin of the word satam, or satan in English.

Satam in Sumerian means “the administrator.” For years, everybody has been looking to find where this word came from. Books have revolved around this issue. It is a Sumerian term. It is very clear. They find it in ancient lexicons.

Enlil is often referred to as the great satam, or the master administrator. In the Sumerian texts, Enlil systematically asked Enki to go negotiate with humans. He is always the one to deal with them.

Remember, he is a humanoid with reptilian features. And, like in the Bible, he is always or very frequently referred to as the serpent in the Sumerian tablets. He’s the only one that the humans are going to see.

And when they see him, they see a serpent-like humanoid. This is why he is called the serpent in the garden; he is a friend of the humans.

In the biblical text, the serpent tempts Eve with an apple from the forbidden tree of knowledge. Yahweh, or God, from the bible, forbids the humans in the garden to partake of this tree.

The Sumerian version of this story translates Yahweh, or the biblical God, into the great satam, which, according to the Sumerian text, is Enlil, and the serpent in the garden as Enki, who has become a friend of the humans.

It is interesting to wonder why the serpent in the Sumerian text, just like in the Bible, comes to the woman.

There are two reasons: The first one is that the woman was more accessible and available when she was in the garden. Therefore, he was more often around women who were collecting food for the colony. The second reason is that I think women are the future of mankind. They raise their children; they transmit their knowledge to their children.

Enki is going to tell the women the secret of tool-making. This is expressed as gneesh in Sumerian, which means tree. For the first time, mankind could have two sides to a tool. The tool that’s fundamentally good so that they can take care of themselves and the tool that’s fundamentally bad that they could use to defend themselves. One could wonder why Enki insists on getting this particular secret through humans. Well, he has the desire to set them free.

Is the knowledge that Enki portrays to humans a tool, or is it an actual ancient weapon that certain organizations are looking for? Or is this Enki teaching humans about the infinite abilities they possess through their DNA?

There is a spectacular scene where humans take up arms and go up the mountain of the gods to revolt, and maybe even try to kill all the gods. What happened is an abomination.

They put the few survivors back on track. Indeed, from what we can grasp from his personality, Enki was all about peace and wouldn’t use tools in order to kill, as he was perfectly aware of what would happen. As a result, this scene of humans rebelling against the gods is quite unique and does not appear anywhere else in the Bible.

Some scholars believe that freewill to decide was the real purpose of Enki’s intervention.

We are here on this plane, at this level of existence, to learn the lessons of duality, to make choices between good and evil. And it’s very clear in the ancient Egyptian system that those choices were important and that they would define us ultimately and set out the route map for our immortal destiny in a way.

We’re looking at the dualistic pair of Enki and Enlil. And what’s interesting about that dualism is its intense focus on the future of humanity and what happens to us. That matters to Enki, but it doesn’t matter to Enlil.

The Sumerian problem is that we have no idea where the Sumerians came from or who they were, and their language is structurally unrelated to any other known language family. It’s completely isolated and unique.

But could the Sumerian problem have been a way for Yahweh to install his own rules so the humans would not revolt again? Is this why we don’t find any of these translations anywhere else, and why do we have the establishment and religious beliefs surrounding our existence today?

The book of Genesis was really written between 200 and 300 BC. It is important to know that the bible where we find the most complete book of Genesis is dated from 400 AC, which brings us to the idea that when scholars were compiling the book of Genesis, they must have made a choice, a deliberate choice to keep or take out some elements in order to make the Bible as we know it today.

Is it possible that modern-day religion and government structure have been mistranslating our human past to keep us under the control of Enlil and Yahweh?

Experts still believe that the knowledge from these gods was able to further our human imprint on this planet.

When you look into the ancient Sumerian tablets, they talk about these gods that came here to earth and basically raised them to a higher level of civilization and taught them everything that they knew.

Now, these gods didn’t do the labor themselves, but they imparted this wisdom and information onto the humans that actually did the labor.

Could these gods have created us in their likeness? Was the garden of Eden the beginning of not only God’s reign on earth but also humans? And could the constant search for the garden of Eden be a programmed loop we hope to understand?

Symbolism is very important in our sense of ourselves collectively and personally. There is something lost. We don’t know quite what it is, but the story suggests it’s a lost connection with transcendence. And so we wish we could go back, not only to the garden of Eden, but in other ways, back to some earlier time. Nothing is more significant in the received wisdom than the story of the Garden of Eden.

Not all is lost when you look to other ancient texts that tell a similar story.

What’s dynamite in the Gnostic system is that the Gnostics believe that we have been hoodwinked by that entity that we have been taught to call God and that worship is no such thing.
