Sumer, the Anunnaki & the Lost Civilization Before the Flood · Anunnaki Origins Podcast

Akadian was the mother language of all the Semitic languages,
0:04
and it was through the knowledge of Hebrew that scholars were
0:07
able to read and understand the Mesopotamian inscriptions of the
0:12
Assyrians and the Babylonians. Spurred by such discoveries, a
0:17
Paris born Englishman named Henry Austin Layard reached
0:22
Mosul, a caravan junction in northeastern Iraq, then part of
0:26
the Ottoman Turkish Empire, in 1840.
0:30
There he was the guest of William F Ainsworth, whose
0:33
researchers in Assyria, Babylonia, and Chaldea, along
0:37
with earlier reports and small finds by Claudius J Rich, not
0:42
only fired Laird's imagination but also led to scientific and
0:46
monetary support from the British Museum and a Royal
0:50
Geographical Society. Versed both in the pertinent
0:53
biblical references and the Greek classical writings, Layard
0:58
kept recalling that an officer in Alexander's army reported
1:01
seen in the area a place of pyramids and remains of an
1:06
ancient city, a city whose ruins were considered ancient even in
1:10
Alexander's times. His local friends showed him the
1:14
various tells in the area, indicating that there were
1:17
ancient cities buried beneath them.
1:20
His excitement grew most when he reached a place called Burs
1:24
Nimrod. I saw for the first time the
1:27
great conical mound of Nimrod rising against the clear evening
1:30
sky, he later wrote in his autobiography.
1:34
The impression that it made upon me was one never to be
1:37
forgotten. Was it not the place of the
1:39
buried pyramid seen by Alexander's officer?
1:43
And surely was the place associated with the biblical
1:46
Nimrod, the mighty hunter by the grace of the Lord, who launched
1:50
the kingdoms and royal cities of Mesopotamia?
1:53
Genesis 10 and the beginning of his Kingdom Babel and Irec and a
1:59
CAD, all in the land of Shinar. Out of that land there emanated
2:04
Asher, where Nineveh was built, a city of wide streets and kala
2:10
and resin. With the support of Major
2:13
Rawlinson, who by then was the British resident and consul in
2:16
Baghdad, Layard returned in 1845 to Mosul to begin digging at his
2:22
cherished Nimrod. But whatever he was to find, and
2:26
find he did, the claim to be the first modern archaeologist in
2:30
Mesopotamia was not to be his. Two years earlier, Paul Emil
2:36
Bhuta, the French consul at Mosul whom Layard had met and
2:40
befriended, proceeded to excavate a mound somewhat north
2:44
of Mosul, on the other side of the Tigris River.
2:47
The natives called the place Korsabad.
2:49
The cuneiform inscriptions uncovered there identified it as
2:54
der Shahrukh Kin, the ancient capital of the biblical Sargon,
2:58
king of Assyria. Commanding the vast city and its
3:02
palaces and temples was indeed a pyramid constructed in seven
3:06
steps, the term for which is ziggarat.
3:10
An illustration of a ziggarat can be found in the bonus PDF
3:13
under Figure 38. Spurred by boaters discoveries,
3:17
Layard began to dig at his chosen mound, where he believed
3:21
he would uncover Nineveh, the Assyrian capital of biblical
3:24
renown. Though the place turned out to
3:27
be the Assyrian military centre named Kalu, the biblical Kala,
3:32
the treasures that were uncovered were worth the effort.
3:36
They included an obelisk set up by King Shamanisi, the second on
3:41
which he listed among those paying him tribute, Yehu, son of
3:45
Omri, king of Israel. An image of the obelisk can be
3:49
found in a bonus PDF under Figure 39.
3:53
Assyrian finds now directly confirmed the historical
3:57
veracity of the Old Testament. Encouraged, Layard began to
4:02
excavate in 1849 unmound directly opposite Mosul on the
4:07
eastern banks of the Tigris. The place locally named Kuyunjik
4:11
was indeed Nineveh, the capital established by Sennacherib, the
4:16
Assyrian king whose army was smitten by the Lord's Angel when
4:20
he besieged Jerusalem. Second Kings, chapter 18.
4:25
After him, Nineveh served as the capital of Sr.
4:28
Haddon and Ashurbanipal. The art treasures carted off
4:32
from there to the British Museum still make up the most
4:36
impressive portion of its Assyrian displays.
4:39
As the pace of excavations gathered momentum, as
4:42
archaeological teens from other nations joined the race, all the
4:47
Assyrian and Babylonian cities named in the Bible, with one
4:51
minor exception, were uncovered. But as the world's museums
4:56
filled up with the ancient treasures, the most important
4:59
finds were the simple clay tablets, some small enough to be
5:03
held in the palm of the scribes hand, on which the Assyrians,
5:07
Babylonians, and other peoples of western Asia wrote down
5:11
commercial contracts, court rulings, marriage and
5:14
inheritance records, geographical lists, mathematical
5:18
information, medical formulas, laws and regulations, royal
5:23
histories, indeed every aspect of life by advanced and highly
5:27
civilized societies, epic tales, creation tales, proverbs,
5:33
philosophical writings, love songs and the like, made-up of
5:37
vast literary heritage. And there were matters.
5:41
Celestial lists of stars and constellations, planetary
5:45
information, astronomical tables and lists of gods, their family
5:50
relationships, their attributes, their tasks and functions.
5:54
Gods headed by 12 great gods, gods of heaven and earth, with
5:59
whom there were associated the 12 months, the 12 constellations
6:03
of the Zodiac, and 12 members of our solar system.
6:07
As the inscriptions themselves occasionally stated, their
6:11
language stemmed from the Akkadian.
6:13
This and other evidence confirmed the biblical narrative
6:17
that Assyria and Babylon, which appeared on the historical stage
6:21
circa 1900 BC, were preceded by a Kingdom named Akkad.
6:27
It was founded by Shahrukh Kin, the righteous ruler whom we call
6:32
Sargon the First, circa 2400 BC. Some of his inscriptions were
6:37
also found in them. He boasted that by the grace of
6:41
his God in Lail, his empire stretched from the Persian Gulf
6:45
to the Mediterranean Sea. He called himself king of Akkad,
6:49
King of Kish, and he claimed to have defeated Uruk, who tore
6:54
down its wall, was victorious in battle with the inhabitants of
6:58
Ur. Many scholars believe that
7:00
Sargon the First was the biblical Nimrod, so that the
7:04
biblical verses apply to him and to a capital named Kish were
7:08
Cush by biblical spelling. Where kingship existed even
7:12
before Akkad and Cush begot Nimrod, he was first to be a
7:18
mighty man in the land and the beginning of his Kingdom.
7:21
Babel and Erek and Akkad, all in the land of Shinar.
7:26
The royal city of Akkad was discovered southeast of Babylon.
7:31
The ancient city of Kish was also discovered southeast of
7:34
Akkad. Indeed, the more archaeologists
7:37
moved down in the plain between the two rivers in a
7:40
southeasterly direction, the greater was the antiquity of the
7:44
places on earth. At a place now called Vorka, the
7:48
city of Uruk, which Sargon the First claimed to have defeated,
7:53
the biblical Erek was found. It took the archaeologists from
7:58
the third Millennium BC to the 4th Millennium BC.
8:02
There they found the first ever pottery baked in a kiln,
8:07
evidence of the first ever use of a Potter's wheel, a pavement
8:10
of limestone blocks which is the oldest of its kind, the first
8:15
ever ziggurat steppe pyronid, and the world's first written
8:19
records, inscribed texts, and engraved cylinder seals which,
8:24
when rolled on wet clay, left a permanent imprint.
8:28
Examples can be found in the bonus PDF under Figure 40 and
8:33
Figure 41. ER birthplace of Abraham was
8:37
also found farther S where the coastline of the Persian Gulf
8:42
had reached in antiquity. It was a great commercial
8:45
centre, site of a huge ziggaret. The seat of many dynasties was
8:51
then the southern, more ancient part of Mesopotamia, the
8:54
biblical land of Shinar, the place where the events of the
8:57
Tower of Babel had taken place. One of the greatest discoveries
9:02
in Mesopotamia was the library of Ashabanipal in Nineveh, which
9:07
contained more than 25,000 tablets arranged by subject.
9:13
A king of great culture, Ashurbanipal collected every
9:17
text he could lay his hands on and in addition set his scribes
9:21
to copy and translate texts otherwise unavailable.
9:25
Many tablets were identified by the scribes as copy of olden
9:29
texts. A group of 23 tablets, for
9:33
example, ended with the Postscript 23rd tablet language
9:38
of Schumer not changed, Ashurbanipal himself stated in
9:42
an inscription. The God of scribes has bestowed
9:46
on me the gift of the knowledge of his art.
9:49
I have been initiated into the secrets of writing.
9:52
I can even read the intricate tablets in Shumarian.
9:56
I understand the enigmatic words in the stone carvings from the
10:00
days before the deluge. In 1853, Henry Rawlinson
10:05
suggested to the Royal Asiatic Society that there possibly was
10:10
an unknown language that preceded Akadian, pointing out
10:14
that the Assyrian and Babylonian texts often used words borrowed
10:19
from that unknown language, especially in scientific or
10:23
religious texts. In 1869, Jules au Pere proposed
10:28
at a meeting of the French Society of Numismatics and
10:32
Archaeology that recognition be given to the existence of such
10:36
an early language and of the people who spoke and wrote it.
10:40
He showed that the Akkadians called their predecessors
10:43
Shumarians and spoke of the land of Schumer.
10:47
There is a map in the bonus PDF under Figure 42.
10:51
It was in fact the biblical land of Shannar.
10:54
It was the land whose name Schumer literally meant Land of
10:59
the Watchers. It was indeed the Egyptian TA
11:02
Netter, land of the watchers, the land from which the gods had
11:07
come to Egypt. As difficult as it was at the
11:10
time, scholars have accepted, after the grandeur and antiquity
11:14
of Egypt had been unearthed, that civilization as known to
11:18
the West did not begin in Rome and Greece.
11:22
Could it now be, as the Egyptians themselves had
11:25
suggested, that civilization and religion began not in Egypt but
11:29
in southern Mesopotamia? In the century that followed the
11:33
first Mesopotamian discoveries, it has become evident beyond
11:37
doubt that it was indeed in summer.
11:40
Scholars find this spelling easier to pronounce that modern
11:44
civilization with a capital C began.
11:47
It was there soon after 4000 BC, nearly 6000 years ago, that all
11:53
the essential elements of a high civilization suddenly blossomed
11:58
out as though from nowhere and for no apparent reason.
12:02
There is hardly any aspect of our present culture and
12:05
civilization whose roots and precursors cannot be found in
12:10
summer cities, high rise buildings, streets,
12:14
marketplaces, granaries, wharves, schools, temples,
12:19
metallurgy, medicine, surgery, textile making, gourmet foods,
12:24
agriculture, irrigation, the use of bricks, the invention of the
12:28
kiln, the first ever wheel, carts, ships and navigation,
12:32
international trade, weights and measures, kingship, laws,
12:37
courts, juries, writing and record keeping, music, musical
12:41
notes, musical instruments, dance and acrobatics, domestic
12:46
animals and zoos, warfare, artisanship, prostitution, and
12:51
above all, the knowledge and study of the heavens and the
12:54
gods who from the heavens to earth had come.
12:58
Let it be clarified here that neither the Akadians nor the
13:01
Sumerians had called these visitors to earth gods.
13:05
It is through later paganism that the notion of divine beings
13:09
or gods had filtered into our language and thinking.
13:13
When we employ the term here, it is only because of its general
13:16
acceptance and usage that we do so.
13:19
The Akadians called them Elu, lofty ones from which the Hebrew
13:24
biblical L stems. The Canaanites and Phoenicians
13:29
called them Bal Lord, but at the very beginning of all these
13:33
religions the Sumerians called them Din Gur, the righteous ones
13:38
of the rocket ships. When the 2 are combined, we can
13:41
see that the Cutter or Gur, shaped like a conical
13:45
pyramidical command module, fits perfectly into the nose of the
13:50
Din pictured as a multi stage rocket.
13:53
Moreover, if we stand the completed word picture up, we
13:57
find that it is amazingly similar to the rocket ship in
14:01
the underground silo depicted in the Egyptian tomb of Hugh.
14:06
An image can be found in the bonus PDF under Figure 43.
14:12
From the Sumerian cosmological tales and epic poems, from texts
14:17
that served as autobiographies of these gods, from lists of
14:21
their functions and relationships and cities, from
14:24
chronologies and histories called king lists, and a wealth
14:28
of other texts, inscriptions, and drawings, we have pieced
14:32
together a cohesive drama of what had happened in prehistoric
14:36
times and how it all began. Their story begins in primeval
14:41
times, when our solar system was still young.
14:45
It was then that a large planet appeared from outer space and
14:49
was drawn into the solar system. The Sumerians called the invader
14:53
Nibiru, planet of the crossing. The Babylonian name for it was
14:58
Marduk. As it passed by the outer
15:01
planets, Marduk's course curved in to a collision course with an
15:06
old member of the solar system, a planet named Tiamat.
15:10
The two came together. The satellites of Marduk split
15:13
Tiamat in half. Its lower part was smashed into
15:17
bits and pieces, creating the comets and the asteroid belt,
15:21
the celestial bracelet of planetary debris that orbits
15:25
between Jupiter and Mars. Tiamat's upper part, together
15:29
with its chief satellite, were thrown into a new orbit to
15:33
become Earth and the Moon Marduk, itself intact, was
15:38
caught in a vast elliptical orbit around the Sun, returning
15:42
to the site of the celestial battle between Jupiter and Mars
15:46
once in 3600 Earth years. It was thus that the solar
15:50
system ended up with 12 members, the Sun, the Moon, which the
15:55
Sumerians considered a celestial body in its own right, the nine
15:59
planets we know of, and one more, the 12th Marduk.
16:05
Marduk's orbit is illustrated in the bonus PDF under Figure 44.
16:11
When Marduk invaded our solar system, it brought with it the
16:15
seed of life. In the collision with Tiamat,
16:18
some of the seed of life was transferred to its surviving
16:21
part planet Earth. As life evolved on Earth, it
16:25
emulated evolution on Marduk. And so it was that when on
16:29
Earth, the human species just began to stir on Marduk,
16:34
intelligent beings that already achieved high levels of
16:37
civilization and technology. It was from that 12th member of
16:42
the solar system, the Sumerians said, that astronauts had come
16:46
to Earth, the gods of heaven and earth.
16:50
It was from such Sumerian beliefs that all the other
16:53
ancient peoples acquired their religions and gods.
16:58
These gods, the Sumerian said, created mankind and eventually
17:03
gave it civilization. All knowledge, all sciences,
17:07
including an incredible level of a sophisticated astronomy.
17:11
This knowledge encompassed recognition of the Sun as the
17:14
central body of the solar system, cognizance of all the
17:18
planets we know of today, even the outer planets Uranus,
17:22
Neptune and Pluto, which are relatively recent discoveries of
17:26
modern astronomy, planets which could not have been observed and
17:30
identified with the naked eye and in planetary texts and lists
17:35
as well as in pictorial depictions.
17:38
The Sumerians insisted that there was one more planet,
17:41
Nibiru Marduk, which when nearest Earth passed between
17:47
Mars and Jupiter as shown on a 4500 year old cylinder seal that
17:54
can be viewed in the bonus PDF under Figure 45.
17:58
The sophistication and celestial knowledge attributed by the
18:02
Sumerians to the astronauts who had come from Marduk was not
18:06
limited to familiarity with the solar system.
18:09
There was the endless universe full of stars.
18:13
It was first ever in summer, not centuries later in Greece, as
18:17
has been fought, that the stars were identified, grouped
18:21
together into constellations, given names, and located in the
18:25
heavens. All the constellations we now
18:28
recognize in the northern skies, and most of the constellations
18:32
of the southern skies, are listed in Sumerian astronomical
18:35
tablets in their correct order and by names which we have been
18:40
using to this very day. Of the greatest importance were
18:44
the constellations which appeared to ring the plain or
18:47
band in which the planets orbit the sun, called by the Sumerians
18:53
OL he, the shiny herd, which the Greeks adopted as Zodiacos
18:59
caiclose animal circle, and we still call the Zodiac.
19:03
They were arranged in 12 groups to form the 12 houses of the
19:07
Zodiac. Not only the names by which
19:10
these star groups were called by the Sumerians, Bull, Taurus
19:14
twins, Gemini, the Pincer, Cancer, Lion, Leo and so exactly
19:21
on, but even their pictorial depictions have remained
19:24
unchanged through the millennia. The much later Egyptian Zodiac
19:28
representations were almost identical to the Sumerian ones.
19:33
Examples of the Egyptian Zodiac can be found in the bonus PDF
19:36
under Figure 46 and Figure 47. In addition to the concepts of a
19:42
spherical astronomy that we employ to this very day,
19:45
including the notions of a celestial axis, poles, ecliptic
19:50
equinoxes and the like, which were already perfected in
19:53
Sumerian times, there was also the astounding familiarity with
19:58
the phenomenon of procession. As we now know, there is an
20:03
illusion of a retardation in Earth's orbit.
20:06
As an observer from Earth pinpoints the Sun on a fixed
20:09
date, such as the first day of spring, against the Zodiac
20:13
constellations that act as a backdrop in space, caused by the
20:17
fact that the Earth's axis is inclined relatively to its plane
20:22
of orbit around the Sun, this retardation or precession is
20:27
infinitesimal in terms of human life spans.
20:30
In 72 years, the shift in the Zodiac backdrop is a mere 1° of
20:36
the 360° celestial circle. Since the Zodiac circle
20:41
surrounding the band in which Earth and other planets orbits
20:45
around the Sun was divided into an arbitrary 12 houses, each
20:50
takes up 112th of the full circle, or a celestial space of
20:55
30°. It thus takes Earth 2160 years
21:01
72 * 30 to retard through the full span of a Zodiac house.
21:07
In other words, if an astronomer on Earth has been observing, as
21:12
is now done, the spring day when the Sun began to rise against
21:16
the constellation or House of Pisces, his descendants, 2160
21:22
years later would observe the event with the sun against the
21:25
backdrop of the adjacent constellation, the House of
21:29
Aquarius. No single man, perhaps even no
21:33
single nation, could have possibly observed, noted and
21:37
understood the phenomenon in antiquity.
21:40
Yet the evidence is irrefutable. The Sumerians who began their
21:44
time counting or calendar in the age of Taurus, which began circa
21:48
4400 BC, were aware of and recorded in their astronomical
21:53
lists the previous processional shifts to Gemini circa 6500 BC,
22:00
Cancer circa 8700 BC, and Leo circa 10,900 BC.
22:07
Needless to say, it was duly recognized circa 2200 BC that
22:13
the first day of Spring New Year to the peoples of Mesopotamia
22:17
retarded a full 30° and shifted to the constellation were Age of
22:22
Aries the Ram Kumal in Sumerian. It has been recognized by some
22:28
of the earlier scholars who combined their knowledge of the
22:32
Egyptology, Assyriology with astronomy, that the textual and
22:36
pictorial depictions employed the Zodiac Age as a grand
22:41
celestial calendar whereby events on Earth were related to
22:45
the grander scale of the heavens.
22:47
The knowledge has been employed in more recent times as a means
22:51
of prehistoric and historic chronological aid in such
22:55
studies as that by GD Santalina and H Bondesian.
23:00
There is no doubt, for example, that the Lion, like Sphinx South
23:05
of Heliopolis, or the Ran, like Sphinxes guarding the temples of
23:09
Karnak, depicted the Zodiac ages in which the events they stood
23:13
for had occurred, or in which the gods or kings represented
23:17
had been supreme. Central to this knowledge of
23:21
astronomy, and in consequence to all the religions, beliefs,
23:25
events and depictions of the ancient world, was thus the
23:29
conviction that there is one more planet in our solar system,
23:33
a planet with the vastest orbit, a supreme planet or celestial
23:38
Lord, the one the Egyptians called the imperishable star, or
23:43
the planet of millions of years, the celestial abode of the gods.
23:48
The ancient peoples, without exception, paid homage to this
23:52
planet, the one with the vastest, most majestic orbit.
23:57
In Egypt, in Mesopotamia and elsewhere.
24:00
Its ubiquitous emblem was that of the winged globe, as seen in
24:05
the bonus PDF under Figure 48. Recognizing that the celestial
24:09
disk in Egyptian depictions stood for the celestial abode of
24:13
RA, scholars have persisted in referring to RA as a sun God and
24:19
to the winged disk as a sun disk.
24:23
It should now be clear that it was not the sun, but the 12th
24:26
planet which was so depicted. Indeed, Egyptian depictions
24:30
clearly distinguished between the celestial disk representing
24:34
this planet and the sun. Both were shown in the heavens,
24:38
represented by the arched form of the goddess Noot.
24:42
Clearly, then, two celestial bodies and not a single one are
24:46
involved. Clearly 2 The 12th planet is
24:49
shown as a celestial globe or disk, a planet, whereas the sun
24:54
is shown emitting its benevolent rays, in this instance on the
24:58
goddess Hat Hor, Lady of the mines of the Sinai Peninsula.
25:03
An image of the celestial disk and the Sun God together can be
25:07
found in the bonus PDF under Figure 49.
25:11
Did the Egyptians then, as the Sumerians know thousands of
25:15
years ago that the sun was the centre of the solar system and
25:19
that the system consisted of 12 members?
25:22
We know that it was so from actual celestial maps depicted
25:26
on mummy coffins. A well preserved one discovered
25:29
by HK Brugsch in 1857 in a tomb at Thebes, shows the goddess
25:35
Noot the heavens in the central panel painted atop the coffin,
25:40
surrounded by the 12 constellations of the Zodiac.
25:43
On the sides of the coffin, the bottom rows depict the 12 hours
25:48
of the night and of the day. Then the planets, the celestial
25:52
gods, are shown travelling in their prescribed orbits, the
25:55
celestial barks, The Sumerians called these orbits the
25:59
destinies of the planets. A depiction of the coffin can be
26:03
seen in the bonus PDF under figure 50.
26:06
In the central position we see the globe of the Sun emitting
26:10
rays. Near the sun by noots raised
26:13
left hand, we see two planets, Mercury and Venus.
26:18
Venus is correctly depicted as a female, the only planet
26:21
considered female by all ancient peoples.
26:25
Then in the left hand panel we see Earth, accompanied by the
26:28
emblem of Horus, the Moon, Mars and Jupiter as celestial gods
26:33
travelling in their celestial barks.
26:35
We see four more celestial gods beyond Jupiter.
26:39
On the right hand panel, with orbits unknown to the Egyptians
26:43
and thus without barks, we see Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and
26:47
Pluto. The time of mummification is
26:50
marked by the Spearman pointing his spear into the midst of the
26:54
bull Taurus. We thus encounter all the
26:58
planets in our correct order, including the outer planets,
27:01
whom modern astronomers discovered only rather recently.
27:05
Bruch as others of his time was unaware of the existence of
27:09
Pluto. Scholars who have studied the
27:11
planetary knowledge and antiquity assumed that the
27:14
ancient peoples believed that five planets, the Sun being one
27:18
of them, circled Earth. Any depiction or listing of more
27:22
planets these scholars held was due to some confusion.
27:27
But there was no confusion, rather impressive accuracy, that
27:32
the Sun was in the system centre, that Earth was a planet,
27:36
and that in addition to Earth and Moon and the other eight
27:39
planets known to us today, there is one more large planet.
27:43
It is depicted atop all others, above the head of Noot, as a
27:47
major celestial Lord with its own huge celestial orbit.
27:52
Celestial bark. 450,000 years ago, according to our Sumerian
27:57
sources, astronauts from this celestial Lord landed on planet
28:03
Earth. I understand the enigmatic words
28:09
in the stone carvings from the days before the deluge.
28:13
So had stated in a self laudatory inscription the
28:18
Assyrian king Ashurbanipal. Indeed, throughout the
28:22
diversified literature of ancient Mesopotamia, there were
28:25
scattered references to a deluge that had swept over Earth.
28:31
Could it then be, scholars wondered, as they came upon such
28:34
references, that the detailed biblical tale of the deluge was
28:39
not a myth or allegory, but the record of an actual event, an
28:44
event remembered not by the Hebrews alone?
28:47
Moreover, even the single sentence in Ashurbanipal's
28:51
inscription was full of scientific dynamite.
28:54
He not only confirmed that there had been a deluge, he stated
28:58
that his tutoring by the God of Scribes included the
29:01
understanding of pre diluvian inscriptions, the enigmatic
29:05
words, and the stone carvings from the days before the deluge.
29:09
It could only mean that even before the Deluge, there had
29:13
been scribes and stone carvers, languages and writing, that
29:18
there had been a civilization in the remote days before the
29:21
Deluge. It was traumatic enough to have
29:24
realized that the roots of our modern Western civilization go
29:28
back not to Greece and Judea of the first Millennium BC, and not
29:33
to Assyria and Babylonia of the second Millennium BC, and not
29:38
even Egypt of the third Millennium BC, but to summer of
29:42
the fourth Millennium BC. Now scientific credibility had
29:47
to be stretched even farther back to what even the Sumerians
29:51
considered the olden days to an enigmatic era before the Deluge.
29:57
Yet all these shocking revelations should have been old
30:00
news to anyone who had cared to read the Old Testament's words
30:05
for what they actually said. That After Earth and the
30:08
asteroid belt, the Rachia or heaven of Genesis had been
30:12
created and Earth had taken shape and life evolved and the
30:17
Adam created man was placed in the orchard that was in Eden.
30:22
But through the machinations of a brilliant serpent who dared
30:26
call the bluff of God, Adam and his female companion Eve
30:30
acquired certain knowing which they were not supposed to
30:34
possess. Thereupon the Lord, speaking to
30:37
unnamed colleagues, grew concerned that man, having
30:41
become as one of us, might also help himself to the Tree of Life
30:46
and eat and live forever. So he drove out the atom, and he
30:50
placed at the east of the Garden of Eden the cherubim and the
30:54
flaming sword which revolveth to guard the way to the Tree of
30:58
Life. Thus was Adam expelled from the
31:02
wonderful orchard which the Lord had planted in Eden from then on
31:07
to eat the herbs of the field, and obtain his sustenance by the
31:11
sweat of thy face. And Adam knew Eve his wife, and
31:16
she conceived and bore Cain, and she bore again his brother Abel.
31:21
And Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain was a tiller of the
31:24
land. The biblical plain of pre
31:27
diluvian civilization then proceeds along 2 lines.
31:31
Beginning with the line of Cain having murdered Abel.
31:35
There is a hint of homosexuality as the cause.
31:38
Cain was expelled farther east to the land of migrations.
31:42
There his wife bore him Enoch, the name meaning foundation, and
31:47
the Bible explains that Cain was building a city when Enoch was
31:51
born, so he named the city Enoch as a namesake of his son Enoch.
31:58
The application of a sane name to a person and the city
32:00
associated with him was a custom that prevailed throughout the
32:04
history of the ancient Near East.
32:06
The line of Cain continued through Irad, Makuya El, Matusha
32:11
El, and Lamech. The first son of Lamech was
32:14
Jabil, a name which in the original Hebrew Yuval means the
32:19
lute player. As the book of Genesis explains,
32:23
Jay Bolt was the ancestor of all such as play the harp and the
32:27
lyre. A second son of Cain, Tubal Cain
32:31
could sharpen all cutters of copper and iron.
32:34
What became of these capable people in the eastern lands of
32:37
migration We are no longer told, for the Old Testament,
32:42
considering the line of Cain to be accursed, lost all interest
32:45
in tracking further their genealogies and fate.
32:49
Instead, the book of Genesis in chapter 5 turns back to Adam and
32:53
to his third son, Seth. Adam, we are told, was 130 years
32:59
old when Seth was born and lived another 800 years, for a total
33:03
of 930 years. Seth, who fathered Enosh at age
33:09
105, lived to be 912. Enosh begot Canaan at age 90 and
33:16
died at age 905. Canaan lived to the ripe age of
33:21
910. His son Mahala Al was 895 years
33:27
old when he died and his son Jared passed on at age 962.
33:33
For all these pre diluvian patriarchs, the book of Genesis
33:37
provides the bare biographical information who was their father
33:41
when their male heir was born, and after giving birth to other
33:45
sons and daughters when they died.
33:48
But when the next patriarch is listed, he gets special
33:51
treatment. And Jared lived 162 years and
33:55
begot Enoch. And Enoch lived 65 years and
33:59
begot Methuselah. And Enoch walked with the Lord
34:02
after he had begotten Methuselah for 300 years.
34:07
And he begot other sons and daughters, and all the days of
34:10
Enoch were 365 years. And here comes the explanation,
34:16
an astounding explanation of why Enoch was singled out for so
34:20
much attention and biographical detail.
34:23
Enoch did not die, for Enoch had walked with the Lord and was
34:28
gone, for the Lord had taken him away.
34:31
Methuselah lived the longest, 969 years, and was succeeded by
34:37
Lamech. Lamech, who lived to be 777
34:41
years, begot Noah, the hero of the deluge.
34:45
Here, too, there is a brief biographical historical note.
34:49
Lamech had so named his son, we are informed, because mankind
34:54
was undergoing at that time great sufferings and the earth
34:58
was barren and unproductive. In naming his son Noah Respite,
35:03
Lamech expressed the hope that this one shall bring us respite
35:08
of our toil and frustrations of the land which the Lord had
35:11
cursed. And so through 10 generations of
35:15
pre diluvian patriarchs blessed with what scholars call
35:18
legendary life spans, the biblical narrative reaches the
35:22
momentous events of the Deluge. The deluge is presented in the
35:26
book of Genesis as the opportunity seized by the Lord
35:31
to destroy the man whom I had created from the face of the
35:34
earth. The ancient authors found it
35:37
necessary to provide an explanation for such a far
35:40
reaching decision. It had to do, we are told, with
35:43
man's sexual perversions, specifically with the sexual
35:47
relations between the daughters of man and the sons of the gods.
35:51
In spite of the monotheistic endeavours of the compilers and
35:55
editors of the Book of Genesis, struggling to proclaim faith and
35:59
a sole deity in a world in those days believed in many gods,
36:03
there remain numerous slip UPS where the biblical narrative
36:07
speaks of gods in the plural. The very term for deity when the
36:11
Lord is not specifically named as Yahweh is not the singular L,
36:16
but the plural Elohim. When the idea of creating Adam
36:21
occurs, the narrative adopts the plural language, and Elohim or
36:27
the deities said, let us make man in our image and after our
36:32
likeness. And when the incident with the
36:35
fruit of knowing had occurred, Elohim again spoke in the plural
36:39
to unnamed colleagues. Now it transpires from 4
36:44
enigmatic verses of Genesis 6 that set the stage for the
36:48
deluge, that not only were their deities in the plural, but that
36:54
they even had sons in the plural.
36:56
These sons upset the Lord by having sex with the daughters of
37:00
man, compounding their sins by having children or demigods born
37:05
from this illicit lovemaking. And it came to pass, when the
37:09
earthlings began to multiply upon the earth, and daughters
37:13
were born unto them, that the sons of the gods saw the
37:16
daughters of Adam, that they were good, and they took them
37:20
for wives of all which they chose.
37:23
And the Old Testament explains further, The Nephilim were upon
37:27
the earth in those days, and thereafter too, those sons of
37:31
the gods who cohabited with the daughters of the Adam, and they
37:34
bore children unto them. They were the mighty ones of
37:38
eternity, the people of the Shem.
37:41
Nephilim traditionally translated giants literally
37:45
means those who were cast upon the earth.
37:48
They were the sons of the gods, the people of the Shem, the
37:51
people of the rocket ships. We are back to Sumur and the
37:57
Dingur, the righteous ones of the rocket ships.
38:01
Let us then pick up the Sumerian record, where we left off
38:04
450,000 years ago. It was some 450,000 years ago.
38:12
The Sumerian texts claim that astronauts from Marduk came to
38:16
Earth in search of gold, not for jewelry but for some pressing
38:20
need affecting survival on the 12th planet.
38:23
The first landing party numbered 50 astronauts.
38:27
They were called Anunnaki, those of Heaven who are on Earth.
38:31
They splashed down in the Arabian Sea and made their way
38:35
to the head of the Persian Gulf, establishing ver their first
38:39
Earth station, Eridu, home and far away built.
38:44
Their commander was a brilliant scientist and engineer who loved
38:48
to sail the seas, whose hobby was fishing.
38:51
He was called IA, He Whose House is Water and was depicted as the
38:56
prototype Aquarius. But having led the landing on
38:59
Earth, he was given the title Enki Lord Earth.
39:04
Like all the Sumerian gods, his distinguishing feature was the
39:08
Horned headdress. He can be seen in the bonus PDF
39:12
under Figure 51. The original plan, it appears,
39:16
was to extract the gold from the sea waters, but the plan proved
39:21
unsatisfactory. The only alternative was to do
39:24
it the hard way, to mine oars in southeastern Africa, haul them
39:28
by ship to Mesopotamia, and there smelt and refined them.
39:33
The refined gold ingots were then sent aloft and shuttle
39:37
craft to an Earth orbiting craft.
39:39
There they awaited the periodic arrival of the mother spaceship,
39:43
which took the precious metal back home.
39:46
To make this possible, Moore and Nunicky were landed on Earth
39:50
until their number reached 600. Another 300 serviced the shovel
39:55
craft and orbiting station. A space port was built at Separ
39:59
Bird town in Mesopotamia, on a site aligned with the Near
40:03
East's most conspicuous landmark, the Peaks of Ararat.
40:08
Other settlements with various functions such as the smelting
40:11
and refining centre of Baad Tibira.
40:14
A medical centre named Shurapak were laid out to form an arrow
40:19
like landing corridor in the exact centre Nibiru Key, the
40:24
crossing place on Earth. Nipper, an Acadian, was
40:28
established as the Mission Control centre.
40:31
The commander of this expanded enterprise on planet Earth was
40:35
Enlil, Lord of the Command. In the early Sumerian
40:39
pictographic writing, Enlil's name and his Mission Control
40:42
center were depicted as a complex of structures with tall
40:46
antennas and wide radar screens, and can be found in the bonus
40:51
PDF under Figure 52. Both AA Enki and Enlil were sons
40:58
of the then ruler on the 12th planet on Acadian Anu, whose
41:04
name meant He of the Heavens and was written pictographically as
41:09
a star. Aya was the first born but
41:13
because Enlil was born to Aniu by another wife who was also his
41:18
half sister, Enlil and not Aya was the heir to the throne.
41:24
Now Enlil was sent to Earth and took over the command from Aya,
41:29
the so-called Lord Earth. Matters were further complicated
41:33
by the despatch to Earth as chief medical officer of
41:37
Ninhersad, Lady of the mountain peak 1/2 sister of both AA and
41:43
Enlail, enticing both brothers to seek her favours, for by the
41:47
same rules of succession a son to one of them by her would
41:52
inherit the throne. The lingering resentment on AA's
41:57
part, compounded by the growing competition between the
42:00
brothers, eventually spilled off to their offspring and was the
42:04
underlying cause of many events that followed as the millennia
42:09
passed on Earth, though, to the Anunnaki, each 3600 years were
42:14
but one year of their own life cycles.
42:17
These rank and file astronauts began to grumble and complain.
42:22
Was it indeed their task as spacemen to dig for oars deep
42:26
inside dark, dusty, hot mines? AAP, perhaps to avoid friction
42:32
with his brother, spent more and more time in southeastern
42:35
Africa, away from Mesopotamia. The Anunnaki who toiled in the
42:40
mines addressed their complaints to him.
42:43
Together they topped over their mutual dissatisfactions.
42:47
Then one day, as in Leil arrived in the mining area for a tour of
42:52
inspection. The signal was given.
42:55
A mutiny was declared. The Anunnaki left the mines, put
42:59
their tools on fire, marched on Enlil's residence and encircled
43:04
it, shouting no more. Enlil contacted on you and
43:08
offered to resign his command and returned to the home planet.
43:13
On you came down to Earth. A court martial was held.
43:16
Enlil demanded that the instigator of the mutiny be put
43:19
to death. The Enunniki, all as one,
43:22
refused to divulge his identity, hearing the evidence anew,
43:26
concluded that the work was indeed too harsh.
43:30
Was the gold mining then to be discontinued?
43:34
Ayotte then offered a solution. In southeastern Africa, he said,
43:39
there roamed a being that could be trained to perform some of
43:43
the mining tasks if only the mark of the Anunnaki could be
43:47
implanted upon it. He was talking of the ape men
43:51
and ape women who had evolved on Earth but were still far behind
43:55
the evolutionary level attained by the inhabitants of the 12th
43:59
planet. After much deliberation, AA was
44:03
given the go ahead create a Lulu, a primitive worker, he was
44:08
told let him bear the yoke of the anumiki.
44:12
Nenhersag, the chief medical officer, was to assist in.
44:16
There was much trial and error until the right procedure was
44:20
perfected. Extracting the egg of apewomen,
44:24
AI and in her Sag fertilized it with the sperm of a young
44:28
astronaut. Then they re implanted the
44:31
fertilized egg, not in the womb of the apewoman, but in the womb
44:35
of a female astronaut. Finally the perfect model was
44:39
achieved and then her sag shouted with joy.
44:42
I have created my hands have made it.
44:46
She held up for all to see. The first Homo sapiens the
44:50
Earth's first ever test you baby.
44:54
An image is available in the bonus PDF under Figure 53.
44:59
But like any hybrid, the Earthling could not procreate on
45:02
his own. To obtain more primitive workers
45:06
ape women eggs were extracted, fertilized and re implanted in
45:10
the wounds of birth goddesses. 14 at a time. 7 to be born
45:16
males. 7 females As the earthlings began to take over
45:20
mining work in southeastern Africa, the Anunnaki who toiled
45:24
in Mesopotamia grew jealous. They too, clamored for primitive
45:28
workers over the objections of AA forcibly and lill seized some
45:35
of the earthlings and brought them to the E din, the abode of
45:39
the righteous ones in Mesopotamia.
45:42
The event is recalled in the Bible.
45:45
And the Lord took thee, Adam, and he placed him in the garden
45:49
in Eden, to till it and tend it all alone.
45:54
The astronauts who had come to Earth were preoccupied with the
45:58
problem of longevity. Their biological clocks were set
46:02
for their own planet. The time it took their planet to
46:05
orbit the sun once was to then but a single year of their life
46:09
spans. But in such a single year, Earth
46:13
orbited the sun 3600 times, a span of 3600 years for Earth
46:19
originated life. To maintain their longer cycles
46:22
on the quick paced Earth, the astronauts consumed a food of
46:26
life and water of life, which were provided from the home
46:30
planet. At his biological laboratories
46:33
in Iridu, whose emblem was the sign of the Entwined Serpents,
46:37
Ayotte tried to unravel the secrets of life, reproduction,
46:42
death. Why did the children born to the
46:45
astronauts on Earth age so much faster than their parents?
46:49
Why did ape men live such short lives?
46:53
Why did the hybrid Homo sapiens live much longer than ape men,
46:58
but only brief lives compared to the visitors to Earth?
47:01
Was it environment or inherent genetic traits?
47:06
A depiction of the entwined Serpents can be found in the
47:08
bonus PDF under Figure 54. Conducting further experiments
47:14
and genetic manipulation on the hybrids and using his own sperm,
47:19
Ayot came up with a new perfect model of Earthling.
47:23
Adapa, as Ayot had named him, had greater intelligence.
47:27
He acquired the all important ability to procreate, but not
47:31
the longevity of the astronauts. With wide understanding he had
47:36
perfected him. To him he had given.
47:39
Knowing, lasting life. Him he did not give.
47:43
Thus were Adam and Eve of the book of Genesis given the gift
47:47
or fruit not only of knowledge, but also of knowing the biblical
47:51
Hebrew term for intercourse for the purpose of having offspring.
47:56
We find this biblical tale illustrated in an archaic
48:00
Sumerian drawing found in the bonus PDF under Figure 55.
48:05
And Lille was outraged on discovering what AR had done.
48:10
It was never intended that man should be able to procreate like
48:13
the gods. What next, he asked, would AR
48:17
also achieve for man an everlasting lifespan on the home
48:22
planet? On you too was perturbed.
48:25
Rising from his throne, he ordered Let them fetch A Dapa
48:29
hit her. Afraid that his perfected human
48:32
would be destroyed. At the celestial abode, AI
48:35
instructed him to avoid the food and water that would be offered
48:39
to him, for they would contain poison.
48:42
He gave him this advice. Adopa, thou art going before On
48:46
you the ruler, the road to heaven wilt thou take when to
48:51
heaven thou hast gone up and hast approached the Gate of On
48:54
You. Tammuz and Gazida at the gate
48:57
will be standing. They will speak to On You.
49:00
On You's benign face they will cause to be shown thee as thou
49:03
standest before. On you.
49:05
When they offer thee the bread of death, thou shalt not eat it.
49:10
When they offer thee the water of death, thou shalt not drink
49:13
it. Then he made him take the road
49:16
to heaven, and to heaven he went up.
49:19
When on you saw Adapa, he was impressed by his intelligence
49:23
and the extent to which he had learned from AA the plan of
49:27
heaven and earth. What shall we do about him?
49:30
He asked his counsellors now that Aya distinguished him by
49:34
making a shem for him, by letting Adapa travel in the
49:37
spacecraft from Earth to Marduk. The decision was to keep Adapa
49:43
permanently on Marduk so that he could survive the bread of life
49:47
they brought him and the water of life too.
49:51
But forewarned by Aya, Adapa refused to eat or drink.
49:56
When his erroneous reasons were discovered, it was too late.
50:00
His chance to obtain everlasting life was NIST.
50:04
Adapa was returned to earth, a trip during which Adapa saw the
50:08
awesomeness of space from the horizon of heaven to the zenith
50:13
of heaven. He was ordained as the high
50:15
priest of Iridu. He was promised by On You that
50:19
henceforth the goddess of healing would also attend to the
50:22
ailments of mankind. But Mortal's ultimate goal,
50:26
everlasting life, was no longer his.
50:30
From then on, mankind proliferated.
50:33
The humans were no longer just slaves in the lines or serfs in
50:37
the fields. They performed all tasks, built
50:40
houses for the gods we call them temples, and quickly learned how
50:44
to cook, dance, and play music for them.
50:47
It was not long before the young Anunnaki, short of female
50:51
company of their own, took to having sex with the daughters of
50:54
man, since they were all of the same first seed of life, and man
50:59
was a hybrid created with the genetic essence of the Anunnaki.
51:03
The male astronauts and the female earthlings discovered
51:07
that they were biologically compatible and children were
51:10
born unto them, and Lille viewed these developments with rising
51:14
apprehension. The original purpose of coming
51:16
to Earth, the sense of mission, the dedication to the task were
51:20
dissipated and gone. The good life seemed to be the
51:24
main concern of the Anunnaki, and with a race of hybrids to
51:27
boot, nature as it were offered in Lille, a chance to put a halt
51:32
to the deteriorating Moors and ethics of the Anunnaki.
51:36
Earth was entering a new Ice Age and the pleasant climate was
51:40
changing. As it got colder, it also became
51:43
drier. Rains became less frequent, the
51:46
river waters sparser. Crops failed.
51:49
Famine spread. Mankind began to undergo great
51:53
sufferings. Daughters hid food from their
51:55
mothers. Mothers ate their young.
51:58
At the urging of Enlil, the gods refrained from helping mankind.
52:02
Let them starve. Let them be decimated.
52:05
Enlil decreed in the Great below.
52:08
In Antarctica, the Ice Age was also causing changes from year
52:13
to year. The ice cap covering the
52:15
continent at the South Pole grew thicker and thicker under the
52:19
increasing pressure of its weight.
52:21
Friction and heat increased at its bottom.
52:24
Soon the immense ice cap was floating on a slippery slush of
52:28
mud from the orbiting shuttle craft.
52:30
An alarm was sounded. The ice cap was becoming
52:33
unstable. If it should happen to slip off
52:36
the continent into the ocean, an immense tidal wave would engulf
52:41
all of Earth. It was not an idle danger in the
52:45
heavens. The 12th planet was orbiting
52:47
back to the place of crossing between Jupiter and Mars.
52:51
As on previous occasions when it neared Earth, its gravitational
52:54
pull caused earthquakes and other disturbances upon Earth
52:58
and in its celestial motions. Now, it was calculated, this
53:02
gravitational pull could well trigger the slippage of the ice
53:06
cap and inundate Earth with a global deluge.
53:11
From this catastrophe, the astronauts themselves could not
53:14
be immune, as preparations were made to assemble all the
53:18
Anunnaki near the spaceport and ready the craft to take them
53:22
aloft before the tidal wave struck.
53:24
Rouses were employed to keep the approaching catastrophe a secret
53:28
from mankind. Fearing that the spaceport would
53:32
be mobbed, all the gods were made to swear to secrecy and as
53:36
to mankind, and Lille said, let them perish, let the seed of
53:41
earthling be wiped off the face of earth.
53:44
In Shurapak, the city under the lordship of Ninhursag, relations
53:48
between man and gods had gone the farthest.
53:51
There, for the first time ever, a man was elevated to the status
53:55
of king. As the sufferings of mankind
53:58
increased, Zias Sudra, as the Sumerians called him, pleaded
54:03
for the help of Aya from time to time.
54:07
Aya and his seafarers clandestinely brought Ziasudra
54:12
and his people a load of fish. But now the question involved
54:16
the very destiny of mankind. Shall all the handiwork of AA
54:21
and Ninhersag perish and turn to clay as in Lille wished?
54:27
Or should the seed of mankind be preserved?
54:30
Acting on his own but mindful of his oath, Aya saw in Ziasudra
54:36
the chance to save mankind. The next time Ziasudra came to
54:41
pray and plead in the temple, Aya began to whisper from behind
54:46
a screen. Pretending to talk to himself,
54:49
Aya gave Ziasudra urgent instructions.
54:54
Tear down the house. Build a ship, give up
54:57
possessions, seek thou life for swear belongings, keep soul
55:01
alive aboard ship, Take thou the seat of all living things.
55:06
That ship thou shalt build. Or dimensions shall be to
55:10
measure. The ship was to be a submersible
55:13
vessel, a submarine that could withstand the avalanche of
55:17
water. The Sumerian texts contain the
55:21
dimensions and other structural instructions for the various
55:24
decks and compartments in such detail that it is possible to
55:28
draw the ship. AI also provided Ziasudra with a
55:32
navigator instructing him to direct the vessel toward the
55:36
Mount of Salvation, Mount Ararat, as the highest range in
55:42
the Near East, Its peaks would be the first to emerge from
55:45
under the waters. A drawing of the ship based on
55:48
the Sumerian texts has been created by Paul Helped.
55:52
It can be viewed in the bonus PTF under Figure 56.
55:57
The deluge came as expected, gathering speed as it blew from
56:01
the South, submerging the mountains, overtaking the people
56:05
like a battle. Viewing the catastrophe from
56:07
above as they orbited Earth in their craft, the Anunnaki and
56:11
their leaders realized how much they had fallen in love with
56:14
Earth and with mankind. And then her Sag wept.
56:19
The gods wept with her for the land.
56:22
The Anunnaki, all humbled, sit and reap as they huddled cold
56:27
and hungry in their shuttle craft.
56:30
When the water subsided and the Anunnaki began to land on
56:33
Ararat, they were elated to discover that the seat of unkind
56:37
was saved. But as Enlil too arrived, he was
56:41
furious to see that a living soul had escaped.
56:45
It took the pleadings of the Anunnaki and the persuasion of
56:48
AA to bring him around to their point of view that if earth was
56:53
to be resettled, the services of man were indispensable.
56:57
And so it was that the sons of Ziasudra and their families were
57:02
sent out to settle the mountain ranges flanking the plain of the
57:05
Two Rivers, to await the time when the plain was dry enough to
57:09
inhabit. As to Ziasudra God, they gave
57:12
him breath eternal like a God they granted him.
57:18
This they achieved by exchanging his breath of earth with the
57:22
breath of heaven. Then they took Zayasudra, the
57:25
preserver of the seed of mankind, and his wife, to reside
57:29
in the faraway place in the land of the Crossing, the land till
57:34
moon, the place where Uttu rises, They caused him to dwell.
57:40
It is evident by now that the Sumerian tales of the gods, of
57:43
heaven and earth, of the creation of man, and of the
57:46
deluge, were The Fountainhead from which the other nations of
57:50
the ancient Near East drew their knowledge, beliefs, and myths.
57:55
We have seen how the Egyptian beliefs matched the Sumerian
57:58
ones, how their first sacred city was named after, on how the
58:03
benben resembled the Sumerian Gur, and so on.
58:07
It is also generally accepted by now that the biblical tales of
58:11
the creation and of the events leading to the Deluge are
58:14
condensed Hebrew versions of the Sumerian traditions.
58:19
The biblical hero of the Deluge, Noah, was the equivalent of the
58:23
Sumerian Ziasudra, who was called Utnat Pishtin in the
58:28
Acadian versions. But while the Sumerians asserted
58:31
that the hero of the Deluge was made immortal, no such claim is
58:36
made in the Bible for Noah. The immortalisation of Enoch is
58:40
also given short shrift, quite unlike the detailed Sumerian
58:44
tale of Adapa and other texts dealing with other ascents.
58:49
But this abrupt biblical attitude could not prevent the
58:52
spread over the millennia of legends dealing with the
58:55
biblical heroes and their sojourn in or return to
59:00
Paradise. According to very ancient
59:03
legends, which survived in a number of versions stemming from
59:06
a composition almost 2000 years old called the Book of Adam and
59:10
Eve, Adam fell sick after he was 930 years old.
59:16
Seeing his father sick and in pain, his son Seth volunteered
59:20
to go to the nearest gate of Paradise and lament and make
59:24
entreaty to God. Perchance he will hearken to me
59:28
and send his Angel to bring me the fruit from which thou hast
59:32
longed, the fruit of the tree of life.
59:35
But Adam, excepting his mortal's fate, only wished for the
59:39
excruciating pains to be relieved.
59:42
So he asked Eve, his wife, to take Seth and together go to the
59:45
neighborhood of Paradise, there to ask not for the fruit of
59:49
life, but only for one drop of the oil of life which floweth
59:54
from the tree, to anoint me with it, that I may have rest from
59:58
these pains. Having done his atom as.
