The Esira Temple Text, known as Weld-Blundell 161, or "A Hymn of Eridu", is hailed by the distinguished British Assyriologist Stephen Langdon as a document of exceptional "theological, epigraphical, and philological" significance. Discovered in the spring of 1922 by Weld Blundell of Queen's College, this cuneiform prism details the grandeur of a temple dedicated to the Sumerian god Enki, situated in Eridu, one of the oldest cities in the ancient world (c. 5400 B.C.). The Esira Temple, also referred to as the Apsu, served as the epicenter of southern Mesopotamian society, central to both religious practice and the institution of kingship. The text's significance lies in its portrayal of the temple as a source of fertility, abundance, and life-giving power, the repository of sacred mysteries, instruction, a "profound ritualistic order", and wisdom, and its prominence as the "Mountain of the Land".Join us for this episode and visit us on the web at theancienttradition.com and www.youtube.com/@theancienttradition for more amazing comparative religion.
ONE OF THE MYSTERIES of ancient Mesopotamia are the strange, reptilian figurines found in southeastern Iraq near the ancient cities of Ur and Eridu. What can they possibly have to do with the Bible?Ancient aliens believers point to the figurines as evidence that the Anunnaki, the gods of ancient Sumer, were reptilian in appearance. They are closer to the truth—that is, the Bible—than they would like to admit.The ancient Near East, which is Mesopotamia plus the neighboring areas of Iran, Turkey, Arabia, and the Levant (Israel, Lebanon, and western Syria), was apparently ground zero for the practice of head-shaping—binding or wrapping an infant's skull to produce a head shaped like, well, a cone. According to the few brave scholars who have researched cranial deformation—which, as you can guess, has a high “woo” factor—it appears that from about 10,000 BC (roughly the time Göbekli Type was built) until about 4000 BC, everybody in the ancient Near East, because it doesn't appear to distinguish between social classes, had an artificially deformed skull.Before metal, writing, or the wheel, our Stone Age ancestors in what become the lands of the Bible turned themselves into coneheads. Why?The similarity between the ophidian (snake-like) figurines of ancient Sumer and the deformed human skulls of the ancient Near East is obvious. We note that there are verses in the Old Testament where the Hebrew words nachash (“serpent,” like the rebel in Eden) and saraph (singular form of seraphim) were used interchangeably—see, for example, the “fiery serpents” of Numbers 21:6 and 8.Were the Stone Age people of Mesopotamia trying to replicate the appearance of the “gods” who once walked the earth?

I get the impression the powers that be don't want us to know anything about the rest of the planet, to learn to respect or appreciate other peoples, because we'd realize we're all in the same boat together! As a student of history, privilege to travel the world before this s*** show came into town. They don't want us to travel the world and see for ourselves how beautiful it is!

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP365 Today, I am unveiling my perspective on why I posit that Jesus did not intend for individuals to merely attain a state of being 'right' with the God portrayed in the Bible. Instead, I propose that his underlying message was for people to transcend conventional notions and ascend to a level where they embody a divine essence, acting as conduits for what I term the 'Christ-light Code.' In this paradigm, I am firmly convinced that Jesus imparted a concealed message encouraging individuals to recognize themselves as divine entities and channels for a higher source, denoted as Father-Energy, Mother-Wave, and Son-Light. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright λαμπρός (lampros) and Morning πρωϊνός (prōinos) Star ἀστὴρ (astēr). - Revelation 22:16 How you have fallen from heaven, O Morning Star (shining one) הֵילֵ֣ל (hê·lêl), son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! - Isaiah 14:12-13 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light φωτὸς (phōtos).” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them. - John 12:36 Jesus answered them, “Isn't it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods Θεοί (Theoi)?' - John 10:34 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son Υἱὸν (Huion) of Man ἀνθρώπου (anthrōpou) be lifted up ὕψωσεν (hypsōsen), that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. - John 3:14-15 Jesus said, "It is I who am the light which is above them all. It is I who am the all. From me did the all come forth, and unto me did the all extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there." - Gospel Of Thomas L77 “Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;' yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God. - Ezekiel 28:2 Enki, the king of the Abzu (Sea), justly praises himself in his majesty: "My father, the king of heaven and earth, made me famous in heaven and earth. My elder brother, the king of all the lands, gathered up all the divine powers and placed them in my hand. I brought the arts and crafts from the E-kur, the house of Enlil, to my Abzu in Eridu. - Enki And The World Order You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a slayer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies. - John 8:44 Atraḥasis made ready to speak, and said to the Elders: "My god does not agree with your god, Enki and Enlil are constantly angry with each other. They have expelled me from the land. Since I have always reverenced Enki, he told me this. - Epic Of Atraḥasis (Noah) However, I Jesus, caused them to eat (of the fruit). - The Secret Book of John No one has seen God at any time. The only born μονογενὴς (monogenēs) Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him. - John 1:18 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.” - John 8:58 In essence, I assert that Jesus' teachings were not solely about establishing a connection with a distant God but rather about recognizing and harnessing the divine potential within oneself.

Love you indigenous fam! May you soon receive all the respect appreciation love understanding adoration reverence recognition you all so richly deserve
In the heart of ancient Mesopotamia, nestled between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, a tale unfolded that blurred the lines between myth and reality. The city of Eridu, dedicated to the god Enki, held a secret known only to a select few - the Urim Stone. #anunnaki #enki #mesopotamia Enki, the god of wisdom and water, was said to have crafted the Urim Stone in the depths of the Abzu, a mystical subterranean realm. The stone was said to possess the power to maintain balance among the Anunnaki, the divine beings who shaped the destinies of mortals. The protagonist, Naram, a young and ambitious scribe in Eridu, discovered a cryptic tablet hidden deep within the temple archives. The tablet spoke of the Urim Stone and its role in preserving harmony among the Anunnaki. Intrigued, Naram delved into forbidden texts, seeking to unravel the truth behind the legends. As Naram's knowledge grew, so did the shadows that lurked in the corners of Eridu. The city's high priest, Ekur, aware of Naram's pursuits, approached him with a warning. The Urim Stone, he explained, was not just a tale; it was a relic safeguarding the delicate balance between the Anunnaki, ensuring order in both divine and mortal realms. As Naram dug deeper, he uncovered a web of intrigue and political maneuvering among the gods. The Urim Stone, it seemed, held not just power but also secrets that could sway the course of history. Whispers of discontent among the Anunnaki hinted at a struggle for control, and the Urim Stone became the coveted key to dominance. In a twist of fate, Naram found himself caught in the crossfire of divine ambitions. The gods, unaware of his mortal presence, continued their clandestine power struggles. Naram's quest for knowledge became a race against time as he sought to understand the Urim Stone's true purpose and protect Eridu from the impending divine discord. The climax unfolded within the sacred precincts of Eridu as Naram confronted the high priest Ekur, who revealed his own designs for the Urim Stone. In a dramatic turn of events, Naram, armed with newfound wisdom, faced the gods themselves, demanding they reconcile their differences for the sake of humanity. In the end, the Urim Stone, once a symbol of potential chaos, became a beacon of unity. The gods, recognizing the wisdom of a mortal, agreed to uphold the delicate balance without interference. Naram returned the Urim Stone to its hidden chamber, and Eridu flourished as a city of prosperity and enlightenment. As time passed, the tale of Naram and the Urim Stone faded into the annals of history, leaving behind a city that stood as a testament to the power of knowledge and the potential for harmony between the mortal and divine realms.

Dr. Amelia Kincaid, a brilliant archaeologist, uncovered the first clue on an expedition to the ancient ruins of Sumer. Her discovery of a hidden chamber within the Eridu temple was a historic moment. Inside, she found a stone tablet etched with cuneiform writing. With the help of advanced AI translators, she began to decipher the text. The tablet contained a cryptic message: "The Anunnaki are your ancestors, and the time of their return draws near." Intrigued by the implications of the message, Dr. Kincaid's research led her to a global network of scientists, historians, and conspiracy theorists who were equally captivated by the revelation. As they delved deeper into the mystery, a new technology emerged—a device that could unlock the genetic memories buried deep within human DNA. This technology allowed individuals to access ancestral memories, revealing forgotten knowledge, skills, and experiences. It was as though the genetic memories of humanity were a vast library waiting to be explored. Dr. Kincaid's team soon made a groundbreaking connection. Through the genetic memories of thousands of individuals, they began to piece together a history that spanned millennia. It was a history filled with encounters with the Anunnaki, the mysterious gods who had once visited Earth. The Anunnaki, it seemed, were not gods in the traditional sense, but an ancient extraterrestrial race who had once visited Earth. They had genetically manipulated early humans, accelerating their evolution, and sharing advanced knowledge with them. The genetic memories revealed tales of humans being taught agriculture, mathematics, and even astronomy by these godlike beings. However, as humanity's understanding of the Anunnaki deepened, a sinister revelation came to light. The tablets hinted at the Anunnaki's return, but their intentions remained a mystery. Were they returning to guide humanity or to reclaim the Earth as their own? As governments and corporations raced to harness the power of genetic memories and prepare for the Anunnaki's impending return, a divide grew between those who saw the extraterrestrials as benefactors and those who feared their return. Conspiracy theories flourished, and secret societies plotted to control the narrative. In the midst of this chaos, Dr. Kincaid and her team discovered a hidden chamber beneath the ancient city of Ur. Within, they found an enormous starship, a vessel capable of interstellar travel. It was the very ship the Anunnaki had used to reach Earth in the distant past. With the countdown to the Anunnaki's return ticking away, a global alliance formed. Humanity, armed with the knowledge of their ancestors and their advanced technology, prepared to face the gods from the stars. The day of the Anunnaki's return arrived, and the skies were filled with the awe-inspiring sight of their massive fleet descending upon Earth. It was a moment that would define the future of humanity. As the two species met once again, questions and tensions hung in the air. Were the Anunnaki gods, saviors, or conquerors? The answer, it seemed, lay in the hands of those who had unlocked the genetic memories of their ancestors. In a world where science and myth intertwined, the fate of humanity and their connection to the Anunnaki was a story yet to be written.

Thank you existing Patrons. 2nd Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LateNiteGnosis Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NealSendlak1 The oldest known god in written history is typically considered to be Anu, the sky god, worshiped by the Sumerians in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) around 4,000 BCE. Anu was part of the Sumerian pantheon and was later incorporated into the pantheon of other civilizations in the region, such as the Akkadians and Babylonians. Anu was believed to be the father of the gods and the ruler of the heavens. It's important to note that there may have been older gods or deities worshiped by prehistoric cultures that did not have written records. Archaeological evidence suggests that religious beliefs and practices existed long before the invention of writing. However, without written records, it is Anu & his daughter Ishtar, the morning star, who show up in the beginning. The oldest known tablet or inscription mentioning the god Anu comes from the ancient Sumerian city of Uruk and dates back to around 2500 BCE. This tablet, known as the Uruk King List, is a historical document that lists the kings of Uruk in chronological order. Among the names of the kings, there is a reference to Anu, indicating his prominence as a deity in that period. Additionally, Anu is mentioned in several other ancient Sumerian texts, such as hymns, prayers, and myths, which provide further insights into the role and significance of this god in Sumerian religious beliefs. These texts were written on clay tablets and have been discovered at various archaeological sites in Mesopotamia, including the cities of Nippur, Ur, and Eridu. It's worth noting that these inscriptions and tablets are the oldest known references to Anu specifically, but it is likely that the worship of Anu predates these written records, possibly by several centuries or more. Anu is considered the god of the heavens, and his name is often translated as "sky" or "firmament." Although the word AN is interchangable with the word logogram for the word GOD "diĝir", and it is theorized that the word AN, is cognate with the proto indo european root for the word ONE, which also is AN or EIN, showing ANU as a possible proto-Monad concept of "the ONE". Anu is the son of Anshar and Kishar, who are primordial deities associated with the horizon and the earth. Anu is depicted as a mighty and wise god who resides in the highest heaven, ruling over the other gods. He is often portrayed as the father or progenitor of other deities, including Enlil and Ea (also known as Enki). Anu's role as the supreme deity is sometimes overshadowed by other gods such as Enlil or Marduk, who gained more prominence in later periods. Nevertheless, Anu retains his status as the head of the pantheon and the ultimate authority. Anu's role in the divine hierarchy is also reflected in the Mesopotamian cosmology, where he occupies the highest level of the universe, separated from the earth and its inhabitants. He is associated with the celestial realm, divine laws, and the ordering of the cosmos. In the Akkadian mythology of Babylon, Anu is considered the chief god and the father of all other gods. He plays a crucial role in the creation story known as the Enuma Elish, where he gives birth to the god Ea and grants him authority over the earth. The god OURANOS in Greek mythology seems to have a similar role as "the firmament, or Heavens" god. Or Sky Father: Both Anu and Ouranos are considered the personifications of the sky and are regarded as sky kings. They are associated with the heavens and are seen as the rulers of the celestial realm. Both Anu and Ouranos are considered primordial deities, existing at the beginning of creation. They are among the earliest divine beings in their respective mythologies. #gnosticinformant #sumerian #history --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnosticinformant/message

Thank you existing Patrons. 2nd Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LateNiteGnosis Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NealSendlak1 Discord: https://discord.com/invite/uWBZkxd4UX Most historians have suggested that Sumer was first permanently settled between c. 5500 – c. 3300 BC by a West Asian people who spoke the Sumerian language (pointing to the names of cities, rivers, basic occupations, etc., as evidence), a non-Semitic and non-Indo-European agglutinative language isolate. The Blau Monuments combine proto-cuneiform characters and illustrations of early Sumerians, Jemdet Nasr period, 3100–2700 BC. British Museum. Others have suggested that the Sumerians were a North African people who migrated from the Green Sahara into the Middle East and were responsible for the spread of farming in the Middle East. However, with evidence strongly suggesting the first farmers originated from the Fertile Crescent, this suggestion is often discarded. Although not specifically discussing Sumerians, Lazaridis et al. 2016 have suggested a partial North African origin for some pre-Semitic cultures of the Middle East, particularly Natufians, after testing the genomes of Natufian and Pre-Pottery Neolithic culture-bearers. Alternatively, a recent (2013) genetic analysis of four ancient Mesopotamian skeletal DNA samples suggests an association of the Sumerians with Indus Valley Civilisation, possibly as a result of ancient Indus–Mesopotamia relations. According to some data, the Sumerians are associated with the Hurrians and Urartians, and the Caucasus is considered their homeland. A prehistoric people who lived in the region before the Sumerians have been termed the "Proto-Euphrateans" or "Ubaidians", and are theorized to have evolved from the Samarra culture of northern Mesopotamia. The Ubaidians, though never mentioned by the Sumerians themselves, are assumed by modern-day scholars to have been the first civilizing force in Sumer. They drained the marshes for agriculture, developed trade, and established industries, including weaving, leatherwork, metalwork, masonry, and pottery. Enthroned Sumerian king of Ur, possibly Ur-Pabilsag, with attendants. Standard of Ur, c. 2600 BC. Some scholars contest the idea of a Proto-Euphratean language or one substrate language; they think the Sumerian language may originally have been that of the hunting and fishing peoples who lived in the marshland and the Eastern Arabia littoral region and were part of the Arabian bifacial culture. Reliable historical records begin much later; there are none in Sumer of any kind that have been dated before Enmebaragesi (Early Dynastic I). Juris Zarins believes the Sumerians lived along the coast of Eastern Arabia, today's Persian Gulf region, before it was flooded at the end of the Ice Age. Sumerian civilization took form in the Uruk period (4th millennium BC), continuing into the Jemdet Nasr and Early Dynastic periods. The Sumerians progressively lost control to Semitic states from the northwest. Sumer was conquered by the Semitic-speaking kings of the Akkadian Empire around 2270 BC (short chronology), but Sumerian continued as a sacred language. Native Sumerian rule re-emerged for about a century in the Third Dynasty of Ur at approximately 2100–2000 BC, but the Akkadian language also remained in use for some time. The Sumerian city of Eridu, on the coast of the Persian Gulf, is considered to have been one of the oldest cities, where three separate cultures may have fused: that of peasant Ubaidian farmers, living in mud-brick huts and practicing irrigation; that of mobile nomadic Semitic pastoralists living in black tents and following herds of sheep and goats; and that of fisher folk, living in reed huts in the marshlands, who may have been the ancestors of the Sumerians. #gnosticinformant #bible #documentary --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnosticinformant/message
This week I sit back down with Leumas from Chant It Down to discuss the oldest known city on the planet, Eridu... As always with Leumas we ended up exploring a number of topics from the Sumerian legends to Human Evolution and what the timeline actually looks like... I thoroughly enjoy these conversations so kick back and enjoy this one.
Another deep dive collaboration with Triffon from Unlocking The Code. This time, we dive into the oldest city in antiquity: Eridu. Where the gods (with a little g) came down from the heavens and started kingship in Eridu. The beginning of human civilization and the origin of mankind. We spin off into what timelines there may of the human experience. We go through the many holes of what many consider to be our origin stories. Both science and religion are mediocre explanations. Finally, we finish with the cover up of our ancient past. The fact that the managers of our society don't want their paradigm destroyed by the knowledge of our history. That is why Eridu sits undiscovered and our history is shrouded in mystery.

Enki, also known as Ea, is a god of ancient Mesopotamian mythology who played a crucial role in the development of civilization in the region. According to the Sumerian mythos, Enki was responsible for bringing knowledge, order, and culture to the people of Mesopotamia. In this Podcast, we'll explore Enki's role as the civilizer and his contributions to the birth of civilization. Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, is widely regarded as the cradle of civilization. This region, which encompasses modern-day Iraq, Kuwait, and parts of Syria and Turkey, was home to the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians, among other cultures. These ancient peoples developed a complex society, complete with agriculture, trade, government, religion, and art. But how did they achieve such a high level of sophistication? According to myth, it was Enki who gave them the tools they needed to create a civilization. Enki was one of the most important gods in the Sumerian pantheon, and he was associated with many aspects of life, including water, wisdom, magic, fertility, and creation. He was often depicted as a bearded man holding a staff and a vase, representing his power over water and knowledge. Enki was believed to have created the world and all living things, and he was also responsible for giving humanity the ability to communicate, write, and do mathematics. Enki's most significant contribution to civilization was his role as the god of civilization itself. According to legend, he traveled from city to city, teaching the people the arts of agriculture, metalworking, weaving, and building. He also gave them the gift of writing, which allowed them to keep records and communicate more efficiently. Enki's teachings laid the foundation for the Sumerian civilization, which lasted for over 3,000 years and influenced the development of other ancient cultures in the region. One of Enki's most famous stories is the "Eridu Genesis," which tells the tale of how he created the first city in Mesopotamia. According to the myth, Enki built the city of Eridu on the banks of the Euphrates River and taught the people how to cultivate crops and raise livestock. He also gave them laws and customs to govern their society, including the concept of the king as the representative of the gods on earth. The people of Eridu worshiped Enki as their patron deity, and the city became the center of Sumerian culture and religion. Enki's legacy can be seen in many aspects of Mesopotamian culture, from the ziggurats and temples that dotted the landscape to the cuneiform script that recorded their history. He was also associated with the arts and sciences, including medicine, astronomy, and astrology. Enki was often called upon to heal the sick or provide insight into the mysteries of the universe. Enki played a pivotal role in the development of Mesopotamian civilization. As the god of knowledge and civilization, he taught the people the skills they needed to build a thriving society. His teachings formed the basis of Sumerian culture, and his legacy can still be seen in the ruins of ancient cities like Eridu and Ur. Enki's story reminds us of the importance of education and innovation in shaping the course of human history.
Enlil and Enki, along with their father An, the god of the heavens, were a trinity within the Mesopotamian religion. Together, they ruled the universe, the sky and the earth. They were also compelling in their own right and patrons of their own cities. Enki, later known as Ea by the Akkadians and Babylonians, was the Sumerian deity of wisdom, intelligence, tricks and magic, fresh water, healing, creation, and fertility. Initially, he was worshipped as the patron god of Eridu, which the Sumerians considered the first city created when the world began. According to myth, Enki gave birth to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers from the streams of water flowing off his body. In addition, Enki's waters are considered life-giving, and his symbols are the goat and the fish, both of which symbolize fertility.

City Laments are one of the most engaging genres in ancient Sumerian literature. These bewail the destruction of central Sumerian cities during the fall of the glorious kingdom known as “the third dynasty of Ur” in 2004 BCE. To date, five laments of this type have been identified and deciphered, each devoted to the destruction of a different city: the Ur Lament; the Sumer and Ur Lament; the Uruk Lament; the Eridu Lament; and the Nippur Lament. The City Laments are characterized by vivid, rich descriptions of the destruction of the city, the mass killing of its inhabitants, and the loss of its central temple. In addition, the laments devote special attention to the divine sphere, where the great gods order the destruction of the city, and the city patron gods beseech them to alter their decision, but to no avail. The patron gods are then forced to abandon their city prior to, or simultaneously with, the destruction. They live as deportees in foreign cites, lamenting their devastated shrine. Eventually, after the destruction, they are invited to return to their holy abode and to renew their days as of old.
DISTURBING IMAGERY is all around us, but the Christian church in the West is so desupernaturalized that we don't recognize what's right in front of our eyes. From last Sunday's Grammy Awards to the statue honoring the late Justice Ruth Bader to Travis Scott's deadly 2021 Astroworld Festival concert to any number of Super Bowl halftime shows, pagan iconography is increasingly in our faces, produced and presented as “art.” We discuss the entity honored by last Sunday's performance of “Unholy” by a non-binary/transgender duo and the disturbing statues that will be handed out at this weekend's Brit Awards—a three-faced image that reminds us of the reptilian figurines from ancient Eridu, the site of the Tower of Babel.

The legend describes how Enki constructed a temple for himself at Eridu, the first city in Sumer and the first of five cities founded before the Great Flood. The temple was built on the side of a river, with its foundations extending deep into the apsu, or the beautiful, copious waters below. They were adorned with gold, silver, lapis lazuli, and carnelian. The masonry of the temple had magical qualities that directed Enki, and its reed fences raged like a bull. The entrance resembled a lion with a man in its mouth, while the ceiling beam resembled a bull of heaven. The overall impression was that of a gluttonous bull. Enki crowded the building with lyres, drums, and every other instrument conceivable, creating a whirlwind of activity evocative of a raging torrent. The temple was surrounded by a lovely garden filled with fruit trees, chirping birds, and carp frolicking among the reeds in the streams. After completing E-ensure, the temple, Enki called the ala and uh drums and traveled to Nippur by barge to seek the favor of the other gods. The fish entertained him on the route to Nippur as Enki butchered many cows and lambs in preparation for an upcoming feast. Enki began preparations for the feast as soon as he arrived in Nippur. According to etiquette, Anu was in charge, Enlil was seated next to him, and Nintu took a seat of honor nearby. During the joyous celebration, all the great gods complimented Enki's magnificent residence, and Anu observed, "My son Enki has built his temple to rise like a mountain from the ground."
TJ and Kris talk about how the author of Genesis 4 destroys the pride of Babylon by belittling the source of its claim to cultural superiority. Then they discuss the technical distinctions between the sons of God and the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ.
The Tower of Babel story is a strange one. It's strange enough that I'm going to spend a lot of time on it, to the point that you will surely switch over to YouTube in about ten minutes. My hope is that this blog/podcast does not drive you back into the arms of the politics, porn, and video games, so I'll do my best to keep it moving. I may have already lost most of you just at the mention of those candies. On the surface level, the Tower of Babel reads like a tale of where languages came from, in the same spirit of fables, such as, “How the Tiger Got its Stripes.” You may pass over the text and think, “Isn't that cute. A story of where the many human languages came from.” Like the Garden of Eden story you can read this one literally, yawn, close the book, then return to your sportsball and Door Dash. And doing so you will miss the entire point of the story of the Tower of Babel. There is another layer, much deeper than the literal, and you can scratch the surface using your fingernail and realize that there are multiple layers of paint. This is why it is a timeless story. First, understanding that “Babel” means “Gate to God” or “Gateway to God” should tell you there is more happening than a simple tower construction project. You could even call it a “Stairway to Heaven” but I am not here to talk about Led Zeppelin. Still, that song title is a phrase that is relevant, or even possibly a reference to the Tower of Babel. If you ask five people the meaning of the lyrics, you will get five answers (my money is on the Lord of the Rings interpretation being closest to the mark, since Led Zeppelin band members were Tolkien nerds). However, even if “Stairway to Heaven” is about Arwen and Aragorn, the Lord of the Rings is the most Catholic novel ever written, so in a wide circling way, from classic rock back to Genesis all the way to the rock of the Church, we have to drive by the Tower of Babel story anyway. The same variety of interpretations that happen with “Stairway to Heaven” can come from readers of the Tower of Babel story, and I think if we called it the “Gate to God” story we would probably be at a better starting point. The Gate being built is a Ziggurat, which is a pagan temple. The location may have been Eridu, in modern day Iraq. Or it may have been elsewhere. It's not particularly important where it was built, because lots of these Ziggurats existed in ancient times, and they are remarkably similar in shape and purpose, even across cultures that had no contact. Now, if you have the idea of some giant tower that touches the sky, you need to first stop and understand that ancient people were not stupid. They knew that a tower could not be built to the sky, probably better than we do, since they didn't have steel and even one hundred feet in height would have been an engineering marvel. So if you want to get anything out of the story, you have to put aside your presentism and unconscious bias. Presentism is the modern bias and assumption that people that didn't have smart phones were only slightly higher than baboons in terms of mental and intellectual acumen.What is a Ziggurat? It is a temple built as a home base for rituals and sacrifices to gods of the lower-case mythological variety. Archaeologists have found these structures with staircases to a central altar, where worship and sacrifice was made to gods. The most famous god of the ancient world was the storm god, or sky god, like Baal, or Marduk, or Zeus, or Jupiter (who are actually all the same god just shifted from one culture to another and that, too, is important to keep in mind as we go along.) At the core of the story is God observing the construction of this Gate to God, and the people in charge are intending to build it “to reach the sky.” Why the sky? Because that's where the sky god lives. Sometimes he lives in a mountain, but the sky god throws the lightning bolts. Along with the sky god, there is a whole list of other gods, like the moon god, the sun god, etc. There is even “Father Sky,” who was a more primordial god in these same cultures, but this elder god was knocked out by the storm god in a battle on the spiritual realm. This too is important to keep in mind, as the tale of Zeus defeating his father Uranus plays into the story of the Tower of Babel very much. The interesting thing about mythology is how celestial objects, like the moon, and natural phenomena, like storms, get translated into spirits. This is mythology in a nutshell, and we assume the ancient people were just trying their best to explain away what could not be explained by science, since there was no such thing as science. There were no telescopes, so in our Present Bias we look at these tales as explanations in a pre-scientific age. These are cute tales from primitive people, who, if they were around today, we would pat on the head and send away with a dum-dum sucker. What non-believers and soul-deniers today have use today as a shield against all things supernatural is a saying known as the “God of the gaps.” The idea is that we only assume God exists for things that we cannot explain yet. This is full blown presentism. If you are not an anti-presentist, you are a presentist. For example, the reason the Irish no longer believe that fairies bring illness is because we know what germs are. We can see germs under microscopes. Until we knew about germs, we blamed fairies. In other words, since we couldn't explain illness, we pawned it off on fairies and God. However, right now, in 2022, science is still claiming to look for a mythical “bat of the gaps” in the Covid story, while we all know that there was no bat, but there most certainly was a very large virology lab. The great irony is that a bat that doesn't exist has been invented and mythologized now by the very same people who mock any idea of fairies or spirits. We could get lost here in talking about scapegoating and human nature, but let's stay on track. The “God of the gaps” idea is a modern argument to reduce all religion to superstitious nonsense. It's an idea that modern writers like Carl Sagan and Richard Dawkins have campaigned hard to sell. There's just one problem with both the fairy stories and Carl Sagan. Neither of them match the concept of the God of Christianity. A quote from Carl Sagan illustrates the problem perfectly, and he was very close to understanding the God of Christianity, but he was bothered by fairy believers who kept moving God into the gaps. This illustrates the problem with how bad conceptions of what the Christian God is brings so much confusion:“In some respects, science has far surpassed religion in delivering awe. How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, ‘This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, "No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'“In other words, Carl had clearly never read the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Carl is actually very close to understanding the awe of God in the way that Catholics understand God. Whoever he is talking about in that quote has no understanding of God as he is understood in the Catholic Church. The God of Israel, is unique, in both conception and power, as Yahweh does not live in the universe like the pagan gods. The God of Christianity, the Trinity, is complete, a whole, that encompasses both the universe and our hearts. God is far simpler to understand than Zeus, in that he is One God, existing forever, outside of space and time. At the same time, he is infinitely more complex in that we can never understand him at all. We can understand God, and we can never understand him. There is another jarring quote where Carl Sagan showed that he was talking about believers that did not understand the Christian God. He said, “Your God is too small for my universe.”To which anyone who spends time in the Catechism can tell you, “No kidding, Carl.” That's been a known fact for 4,000 years. Cave people knew that, and they didn't have telescopes. What amazes me most today is how science assumes that all religious people are merely superstitious buffoons, but when they begin to talk about God, they are describing a pagan concept of lower-case gods, not the understanding of the God of Israel and certainly not the Trinity. This is where bad instruction of the faithful leads to a mess, and as far as bad training and catechesis goes, Catholics have a lot of explaining to do. We have dropped the ball horribly for about three generations now in teaching something as basic as, “How can we speak about God?”God is bigger than Carl's universe. The universe alone can't explain Carl Sagan. As Peter Lawler said, “Physics can't explain the physicist…Physics, by itself, simply explains away the physicist—and much else.” Far bigger than our conception or intellect can handle, God transcends our minds. He is not in the gaps, he created all the gaps, and no matter how many gaps we figure out, there will be more gaps. Like Sagan, who seemed to think that we have overtaken God in terms of knowledge about the universe, the brightest minds of the middle ages thought God kept the planets afloat with crystals. Sagan and company are no different than the confused thinkers of the “Dark Ages” who thought they had figured everything out. But here's something important to realize: the incorrect concepts of the universe was never doctrine. The idea that the earth was at the center of the universe was never part of Christianity. That's only what the intellectuals of the middle ages believed. This is why the Church moves and decides slowly, like the Ents, the trees in Lord of the Rings, who take a long time to decide anything. This is also why the Church doesn't leap in when economic and tech fads offer utopia. The wisdom of the Church plays out in a couple of ways, one in its patience, and second by recognizing heresies and bad ideas long before they are proven to be bad ideas, such as the theories of Marx or calling out Transhumanism (before it gets started). The truth comes out over time, and science is a small part of revealing God's world to us. It's one kind of knowledge, but it's not wisdom. It's worth noting that in a hundred years we may realize that much of modern science is wrong. This happens repeatedly in our history. What is a solid “known” today could be laughable later. Phrenology had its day as a serious science, when people interpreted bumps on our heads. Now it is a joke. (Sociologists beware!) But God does not change, nor does the proper concept of God. To assume otherwise is to be exactly like the intellectuals of the middle ages, who were surely certain of their ideas, too. To assume all is known today is the classic mistake of the falls in Genesis, too. What often seems to be the case is that non-believers have a bad concept of God, stemming from various causes. I think the main problem is that they just don't understand the Trinitarian God properly. I certainly didn't. The reason we don't is because the loudest voices proclaiming God today confuse the right meaning of the word. In fact, I don't think most Christians know the meaning of the word God, because he just seems to be a vending machine to so many. (Here is where I resist ranting about the message preached in the “Prosperity Gospel”. )If you think Zeus and the God of Israel are the same thing, you cannot read the Tower of Babel story. Don't do it. Don't even try. Why waste your time? You cannot understand it if you don't even understand what the writer was talking about. If you don't have the proper idea of God in place, you will fail before you start. It's like beginning a calculus problem when you only made it through Algebra II. It's like interpreting a modern biology book using the theory of the four bodily humors from Galen, the ancient Greek physician. It doesn't work. You will be lost on reading the first sentence. To understand the God of Israel, you have to backtrack and realize a few things. First, you have to rip out your modern assumptions and biases and reset, because all of the noise around God in our media has created a windstorm in your head. Everyone is trying to put their spin on what God is, and until you find the right language, the crazy interpretations will continue to spin. In my own surfacing into the light, I slowly realized that I had cut myself off with a little of help from my friends and much help from the media around me, not to mention a giant pool of Captain Morgan. I had sliced myself off, walled myself in, because of various reasons. In trying to “find myself,” I got lost, and the reasons I lost God was because of exactly the list of reasons listed in the intro of the Catechism. I had forgotten the right concept of God, overlooked what I knew was true, and rejected the entire idea of God. …this "intimate and vital bond of man to God" can be forgotten, overlooked, or even explicitly rejected by man. Such attitudes can have different causes: revolt against evil in the world; religious ignorance or indifference; the cares and riches of this world; the scandal of bad example on the part of believers; currents of thought hostile to religion; finally, that attitude of sinful man which makes him hide from God out of fear and flee his call. (CCC 27-30)Yes, all of those things. The pain and suffering of this world confused me, I was ignorant of what the word God really meant in the Bible, I was drawn to pleasures like drinking, I saw many bad examples of believers that made me question faith entirely, and my education, along with movies and books I read, was purposefully leading me by the nose to a path of belittling and laughing at those with faith. I remember trying to read Genesis and thinking, “This is ridiculous,” and only fifteen years later did I realize that my understanding of God was all wrong. I had to reset completely. Life has a funny way of beating you into a state of reasonableness so that you can try again. To reset, I started with this: God transcends all creatures. We must therefore continually purify our language of everything in it that is limited, image-bound or imperfect, if we are not to confuse our image of God--"the inexpressible, the incomprehensible, the invisible, the ungraspable"--with our human representations.16 Our human words always fall short of the mystery of God. Admittedly, in speaking about God like this, our language is using human modes of expression; nevertheless it really does attain to God himself, though unable to express him in his infinite simplicity. Likewise, we must recall that "between Creator and creature no similitude can be expressed without implying an even greater dissimilitude"; and that "concerning God, we cannot grasp what he is, but only what he is not, and how other beings stand in relation to him." (CCC 39-43)He transcends all creatures, including myths like Zeus. He created everything, including our ability to invent myths like Zeus. We are continually learning more about creation. We are not done learning or discovering wonders here, because we are not God. This should be a cause for awe - Carl Sagan is correct. If he met people who understood God in this sense, instead of reducing all Christians to knuckle-dragging fundamentalists, he could have had terrific conversations about that very fact. God is nothing like the pathetic Zeus. He's way beyond us, transcending our world, while at the same time reaching down to us and saying “Boo!” from time to time. He alerts us that he's present. Most importantly, we cannot control God. This is critical to reading the Tower of Babel story. The pagan gods are far more mundane and limited than the God of the Trinity. The pagan gods live in mountains or in the forest. They are the moon. They are the stars. They are within the universe. The classic blunder of so many non-believers is that they assume God is an object in the universe, like how we think of Zeus. Whenever you hear, “All gods are the same,” you know immediately the speaker does not understand the Christian concept of God. Sagan's “small God” comment and Bertrand Russell's famous “teapot god” betray their fundamental misunderstanding of what the word God means to Catholics. The architect of the universe is not standing in the solar system like a tour guide; he transcends all creation. He transcends all tings, but is still a living God that can reach us on a very personal level. So when you read the Tower of Babel story, the important things to keep in mind are: * The Tower is a Ziggurat built to “reach the sky.” Babel means “Gate to God.” The ancient cultures believed that these pyramid temples made a connecting point between heaven and earth. They often have a stairway to an altar on the top. These exist across the world, even in Aztec and Mayan cultures that never had any apparent contact with Mesopotamian cultures. (This should start raising hairs on your neck but resist the urge to blame aliens here.) * Ziggurats were built to worship gods of mythology, most commonly the “sky god,” a.k.a. storm god, a.k.a. thunder god, a.k.a. fertility god, a.k.a. the rainmaker. This god goes by various names in history: Baal, Marduk, Zeus, Jupiter, Thor, and more (Perkūnas, Perun, Indra, Dyaus, and Zojz). This god was usually depicted with bull horns and/or holding lightning bolts. In mythology, the sky god “defeated” the primordial god (or gods). This tale is called the succession myth and it gets repeated in Babylon, Greece, Rome, and many other places. This god is a shape-shifting rapist who can appear as a bull, a serpent, a swan, an eagle, or even a shepherd. As Éomer says in The Two Towers, “The white wizard is cunning,” so is the fertility god. * Satan is the storm god. Yes, the “S” word. This came as a shock, since I enjoy reading Greek and Roman mythology. But really, how did I miss it for so long? The horns often depicted on Satan are exactly like the bull horns of Baal. And Baal = Marduk = Zeus = Jupiter = Thor = Satan. Baal is Zeus. Baal is also Satan. They are all the same character. Jesus even calls Satan ‘Beelzebul,' which is a version of Baal-Zebub, the Philistine deity of Baal/Zeus equivalent. Better yet, Beelzebul is actually a mocking name that riffs on Beelzebub. “Prince Baal” or “Lord Baal” is modified by Jesus to mock “Baal of flies” or “Lord of dung.” This mockery also took me aback, because if Jesus mocks the sky gods, it proves that God does indeed have a sense of humor. There is word play going on. Jesus again mocks the sky god a second time when he gives the nickname “Sons of Thunder” to James and John (Mk 3:17), which means sons of the sky god, a.k.a. Zeus. Like most nicknames, it is not a compliment. When they call for revenge on those who oppose Jesus, James and John are acting like Baal or Zeus or Satan. James and John ask, “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?” Jesus turned and rebuked them. (Lk 9:54) Jesus is the polar opposite of the cruel and vengeful sky god. In other words, Jesus is God, and God is love. This is the opposite of the fallen angel named Satan, who shape-shifts and goes by many other names. (Yet for some reason God allows Satan to divide, distract, and deceive us in this world, which is the great head-scratcher for us all and takes a lifetime to understand.) * Keep in mind that all myths are victory tales and founding narratives. They are written and told to justify for the current state of affairs in the world. When you read any myth, you have to read it from the perspective of the myth-makers. Babel is part of Israel's story, but if the other side told the story of Babel, it would be a very different tale, where the temple at Babel would be seen like St. Peter in Rome or Notre Dame in Paris. * The intention and goal of building the Tower of Babel versus the intention building St. Peter or Notre Dame is starkly different. The “Gate to God” is being built up to “the sky.” The Tower is meant to bring god down to earth (just like in Ghostbusters - more on that later) and make a name for the people. St. Peter and Notre Dame are built to give glory to God, not to people. This fundamental misunderstanding of God makes all the difference, both in our individual lives and in the pursuits of nations. * The God of Israel cannot be controlled. He does not need us. We need him. If you read the Tower of Babel at only the surface level, at the “How the Tiger got its stripes” level, where it's only about how the various languages came to be, you will get something out of it. That is a valid, literal reading, but you will miss the greater significance of the story. Know before you start: God doesn't make transactions with his creatures. Praying for what you want can work out in strange ways, but it always works out in how God wills it. He gets the last laugh, you might say. Even the great destroyers of faith, Marx, Voltaire, Hume, Russell, Dawkins, et al. are part of God's plan somehow. He allows doubt and struggle for reasons we cannot understand, but like Joseph in Egypt, when we realized that all his struggles had a purpose: “Even though you meant harm to me, God meant it for good.” (Gen 50:20) Without this understanding of God, we are trying to manipulate him and make him dance. But he is the one who makes us dance, and it's much easier to dance with him than to try to lead. He is Tolkien and we are Frodo. We are his characters. We cannot reach up and grab the author, and that is exactly what the builders at Babel are trying to do. This is a really, really bad idea for us to try, both then and now. This is a public episode.

Enlil - deriving from the theology of Nippur, which achieved dominance in Sumer early in the third millennium B.C. - did not entail the absorption of, or even any really encroachment upon, the jurisdictional province of other major gods. Enlil's authority- as that of Marduk of Babylon and Ashur of Assyria, which were little more than adaptations of this theology for other times and places- lay rather in his relationship to humanity than to the other gods. For Enlil personified the vital forces inherent in that part of cosmic geography - from the surface of the earth up to the vault of the skies- which most immediately affected the well-being of mankind (and of all living things), namely the life-sustaining ones of fertility, vegetation, and all the phenomena associated with the maintenance of an abundant food-supply. But Enlil's overlordship as regards the other gods, as distinct from his perceived relationship to humanity, was more honorific than substantive. He was the overlord of such gods as An, Inanna, Utu, and Nanna; but he neither delegated to them their respective jurisdictions, nor could he usurp them. Even more to the point, the Nippurian theology could not eradicate- nor is there evidence of any deliberate effort in this direction- the older and 'rivalling' theology of Eridu, wherein Enki was the supreme deity. Enki (Ea in the later Semitic literature) remained throughout totally independent of Enlil. He was the fountainhead of all the arts and civilisation and of wisdom in general, the archetypical Promethean god, the patron of, and spokesman for, mankind. In this guise he retained the power even to thwart Enlil's decision to destroy mankind through the primeval Flood alerting Atrahasis (later identified by the additional name Utanapishtim, the Mesopotamian prototype of Noah) of the impending catastrophe and giving him explicit and detailed instructions for securing the means to escape the fate awaiting him the rest of his fellow me
Eridu, ancient Sumerian city south of modern Ur (Tall al-Muqayyar), Iraq. Eridu was revered as the oldest city in Sumer according to the king lists, and its patron god was Enki (Ea), “lord of the sweet waters that flow under the earth.” The site, located at a mound called Abū Shahrayn, was excavated principally between 1946 and 1949 by the Iraq Antiquities Department; it proved to be one of the most important of the prehistoric urban centres in southern Babylonia. Founded on sand dunes probably in the 5th millennium BC, it fully illustrated the sequence of the preliterate Ubaid civilization, with its long succession of superimposed temples portraying the growth and development of an elaborate mud-brick architecture. The city continued to be occupied to about 600 BC but was less important in historic periods.
2909 BCE Anunna kingship begins 670 years [241,200 days/shars] before the Flood of 2239 BCE, Anunnaki Dynasty beginning at Eridu with two kings lasting 180 years to 2729 BCE. Eridu is the Irad of Genesis text. Sumerian King-List reads that kingship was first lowered from heaven to the city of Eridu. This place in Genesis is called Irad, from the root descend, found also in the name Jared, Enoch's father, a completely made up Jewish invention. The original text concerned the descent of Enki but the Jewish scribes in Babylon rendered it Enoch descended from Jared. 2852 BCE First Dynasty of China was of the Five Monarchs, in which there are actually nine rulers, a dynasty of Dragon Kings enduring 646 years to 2206 BCE. (Lost Cities of China, Central Asia and Arabia 384) NOTE: This is 24 years variance from the Sumerian King-List which shows the Anunnaki Dynasty of Seven Kings [other version is Ten Kings] began 670 years before the Great Flood. This demonstrates that the Chinese tradition is the same as the Sumerian version.

But there came a stirring in the darkness and the great gods arose. First came Lahmu and Lahame; and many epochs later, Ansar and Kisar, component parts of whose names signify 'Host of Heaven' and 'Host of Earth.' These latter names we may perhaps accept as symbolical of the spirits of heaven and of earth respectively. Many days afterward came forth their son Anu, god of the heavens. At this point it should be explained that the name Tiawath affords a parallel to the expression T'hom or 'deep' of the Old Testament. Practically the same word is used in Assyrian in the form Tamtu, to signify the 'deep sea.' The reader will recall that it was upon the face of the deep that the spirit of God brooded, according to the first chapter of Genesis. The word and the idea which it contains are equally Semitic, but strangely enough it has an Akkadian origin. For the conception that the watery abyss was the source of all things originated with the worshippers of the sea-god Ea at Eridu. They termed the deep apsu, or a 'house of knowledge' wherein their tutelar god was supposed to have his dwelling, and this word was of Akkadian descent. This apsu, or 'abyss,' in virtue of the animistic ideas prevailing in early Akkadian times, had become personalized as a female who was regarded as the mother of Ea. She was known by another name as well as that of Apsu, for she was also entitled Zigarun, the 'heaven,' or the 'mother that has begotten heaven and earth'; and indeed she seems to have had a form or variant in which she was an earth-goddess as well. But it was not the existing earth or heaven that she represented in either of her forms, but the primeval abyss, out of which both of these were fashioned.

Guest: Kelten (I just finished re-recording episodes 1-10, so there's never been a better time to check them out!) First, we continue the story of Lugalbanda as he leaves his mountain cave. After he submits to the country of oppression, Zangara, the god of dreams, asks him for a space knife and goats of varying quality. Then, we start episode 1 of 2 on the Jemdet Nasr period (3100-2900 BCE), bridging the gap between prehistory and the beginning of recorded history. The collapse of the Uruk colonial network heralds massive cultural and demographic upheaval across the Near East, and the Mesopotamian alluvium isn't exempt. Then, we visit a handful of cities: the eponymous Jemdet Nasr, in the north, with the second-most texts from this period; Unug (with the most texts), whose patron goddess Inanna has already begun to take on her association with the planet Venus; and Ur, Kish, Shuruppak, and Tell Uqair. Then, we take a look at the advancements made in cuneiform writing during this period. It turns out math with fractions is exactly five thousand years old! Then, we examine the potential evidence for a league of cities— that is, a single political entity comprising several different city-states, seven hundred years before the conquests of Sargon of Akkad. If there was such an organization, it seems to have included Unug, Ur, Nippur (in the central alluvium), and possibly Eridu, among others. Finally, we begin the story of Lugalbanda and Anzu. Still lost in the distant mountains, Lugalbanda sets out to ask Anzu (the mythical bird guarding the mountains at the edge of the world) for directions. Stay tuned for part three! Questions?

Yet another very similar account in its generalities to the Book of Genesis. Thank you for listening! Please share and leave a five star review!
L'ancienne Mésopotamie est le berceau de la première civilisation connue, c'est les peuples Sumériens et Akkadiens, qui, au cours du 4e millénaire av. J.-C. qui vont donnée naissance aux grandes cités d'Uruk, Nippur, Eridu, Larsa, Ur et de nombreuses autres… Leurs successeurs, de Babylone et de l'Assyrie, formeront de grands empires et développeront une brillante culture ayant une large influence sur les territoires voisins (araméens, cananéens, hébreux, perses, hittites, etc…) et par extension sur toute l'histoire de l'humanité. La Mésopotamie, c'est plus de 3000 ans d'histoire, de l'invention de l'écriture par les Sumériens jusqu'à la conquête d'Alexandre le Grand au 4e siècle avant notre ère. Dans cette vidéo nous allons étudier spécifiquement les croyances des anciens mésopotamiens, apprendre à connaîtras leurs dieux et la cosmogonie, mais surtout comprendre la perception que les mésopotamiens avais de ces derniers. Les dieux (Anunnaki) étaient-ils aimés respecter, honorer ou simplement craints ? Comment les Sumériens et Akkadiens représentaient-ils les dieux et comment ces derniers agissaient sur le réel ? L'homme à toujours chercher à comprendre ses origines, et les anciens Mésopotamiens ne faisant pas exemptions à la règle, ainsi nous observerons les récits divins sur la création de l'humanité, la place des Hommes dans l'univers, leurs rôles et leurs rapports aux dieux Anunnaki. L'Homme est-il condamné à mourir et si oui que devient-il après ? C'est l'une des questions fondamentales de tous les hommes et nous allons étudier les croyances des Sumériens, Akkadiens, Babyloniens et Assyriens sur la question du devenir dans l'au-delà ou de la quête d'immortalité. Il nous faudra comprendre le cheminement de la croyance, des premiers textes relativement sommaires où aucune origine n'est fixée pour les êtres divins, jusqu'aux célèbres textes de l'épopée de Gilgamesh, de l'épopée de la création (Enūma eliš) ou du poème du Super Sage (Atrahasis), mais encore de nombreux autres. Nous poursuivrons avec l'analyse des activités cultuelles, la prière, les célébrations religieuses dans le calendrier, mais également la divination et les exorcismes, qui étaient légion dans l'ancienne Mésopotamie, afin de chasser le « Mal » ou les démons responsables de tous les maux de l'humanité. ▶ Soutenir la web TV sur Tipeee : https://www.tipeee.com/arcana-mysteres-du-monde ▶ Lien de la vidéo Youtube : https://youtu.be/1ZcRpmJe81Y
(Formerly episode 16, partially re-recorded as of June 30, 2022) Guest: Kelten First, one of the common soldiers at Troy tells Agamemnon what everyone else is thinking and Odysseus threatens to smack him upside the head. Then, we tour Tell Abada (on the far northeastern edge of the Ubaid world), with interesting evidence of political centralization around 5000 BCE. Then, we talk about increasing social & economic complexity in the late 4000s & early 3000s BCE. What makes cereals more conducive to state formation than other Neolithic crops (like lentils)? Then, we look at the administrative centers in Ubaid towns like Eridu, both as socio-political institutions and as architectural monuments. At this point, they're in the process of transforming from the domestic houses of prominent families to the sprawling temple bureaucracies which dominate the early history of Mesopotamia. Then, we visit one of the other most famous cities in Mesopotamia. Unug, alias Uruk, alias Erech, alias Warka, home to Gilgamesh and Inanna and the biblical Nimrod, will be the world's largest city throughout the late 4th millennium BCE, during which time humanity will invent bronze, the state, and the written word. Then, we take one last look at Ubaid society. How does the concept of chiefdom apply to the Ubaid alluvium? Finally, Odysseus & Thersites resolve their dispute like civilized men! Questions?

(Re-recorded as of June 30, 2022) Guests: Kelsey, Michaela, Annika First, Enki, patron god of Eridu, creates the world, invents agriculture, blesses foreign lands, and produces the Tigris and the Euphrates as part of an extremely convoluted and mildly unsettling metaphor. Then, we visit Eridu, the first city in Sumerian legendary history, and possibly the oldest continuously occupied settlement when the first historical texts were written. What can it tell us about life during the Ubaid? Then, we follow the extended household (which first developed during the Pottery Neolithic in the north) as its Ubaid incarnation spreads across the Near East. Also, we look at the relationship between women and these new social institutions. Then, we visit one of the most famous cities in Mesopotamia in its infancy. Ur, home to Enheduanna and Shulgi and the biblical Abraham, has a long history ahead of it, and its earliest levels date to the Ubaid. We also visit the nearby site of the eponymous al-'Ubaid. Then, a look at domestic life during the Ubaid. Also, just for fun, head-shaping! Then, we tackle the "Sumerian question": what can we know about the language(s) spoken in the alluvium over a millennium before the development of written language? (In other words, "were they Sumerians?") Along the way, we raise a few other questions: how would we know if it replaced other, earlier languages? How much of a language's history appears in its vocabulary? Can there even be such thing as a proto-Sumerian language unaffected by contact with any other language? Finally, Inanna confronts Enki about ignoring her in his cosmic plan, so he grants her the heaping up of human heads like piles of dust, among other blessings. How does she feel about that? We actually won't find out! Questions? Feedback? Email us at drumbeatforeverafter@gmail.com. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @drumbeatforever Works cited

Last episode, we stared to look at the Sumerian culture. These ancient people established these providence and civilization., beginning around 6,000 years These people were great inventors and introduced Camilla form, aspects of astronomy that were new to humanity in this area at this time. Additionallt, unique social structures, inventions, sun-dried bricks, chariots, beer, and academic by products. Due to their contributions in so many areas, it is not a surprise that these people are prized for their unique way of looking at the world. This extends beyond their earthly experience as well. For example, it is somewhat amazing that the Sumerians understood heliocentric concepts regarding our Solar system... yet thought the Earth was flat. Furthermore, involving Enki... Much of the information is skewed about this God. On one hand it says that he was created in and continued to stay at the early city of Eridu. Then it also refers to him as a 1/2 brother of the God, Enlil. We begin to delve into some of the conspiracy theories in this follow up to our original Sumerian society and culture Podcast. This will not be the last that we will see as there is much information out there and conspiracy theories abound as to where these individuals came from and what were their true purpose. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mageatm/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mageatm/support

They built this temple at a place called Eridu, which was “one of the most southerly sites, at the very edge of the alluvial river plain and close to the marshes: the transitional zone between sea and land, with its shifting watercourses, islands and deep reed thickets” (Leick, 2).

We examine the Adam and Eve Seal, The Temptation Seal, and the early city of Eridu. All seem to have tantalizing connections with Adam, Eve, the Garden of Eden, and the Fall.
Humanity realized we could do more with stone tools some two and a half million years ago. We made stone hammers and cutting implements made by flaking stone, sharpening deer bone, and sticks, sometimes sharpened into spears. It took 750,000 years, but we figured out we could attach those to sticks to make hand axes and other cutting tools about 1.75 million years ago. Humanity had discovered the first of six simple machines, the wedge. During this period we also learned to harness fire. Because fire frightened off animals that liked to cart humans off in the night the population increased, we began to cook food, and the mortality rate increased. More humans. We learned to build rafts and began to cross larger bodies of water. We spread. Out of Africa, into the Levant, up into modern Germany, France, into Asia, Spain, and up to the British isles by 700,000 years ago. And these humanoid ancestors traded. Food, shell beads, bone tools, even arrows. By 380,000-250,000 years ago we got the first anatomically modern humans. The oldest of those remains has been found in modern day Morocco in Northern Africa. We also have evidence of that spread from the African Rift to Turkey in Western Asia to the Horn of Africa in Ethiopia, Eritraea, across the Red Sea and then down into Israel, South Africa, the Sudan, the UAE, Oman, into China, Indonesia, and the Philopenes. 200,000 years ago we had cored stone on spears, awls, and in the late Stone Age saw the emergence of craftsmanship and cultural identity. This might be cave paintings or art made of stone. We got clothing around 170,000 years ago, when the area of the Sahara Desert was still fertile ground and as people migrated out of there we got the first structures of sandstone blocks at the border of Egypt and modern Sudan. As societies grew, we started to decorate, first with seashell beads around 80,000, with the final wave of humans leaving Africa just in time for the Toba Volcano supereruption to devastate human populations 75,000 years ago. And still we persisted, with cave art arriving 70,000 years ago. And our populations grew. Around 50,000 years ago we got the first carved art and the first baby boom. We began to bury our dead and so got the first religions. In the millennia that followed we settled in Australia, Europe, Japan, Siberia, the Arctic Circle, and even into the Americas. This time period was known as the Great Leap Forward and we got microliths, or small geometric blades shaped into different forms. This is when the oldest settlements have been found from Egypt, the Italian peninsula, up to Germany, Great Britain, out to Romania, Russia, Tibet, and France. We got needles and deep sea fishing. Tuna sashimi anyone? By 40,000 years ago the neanderthals went extinct and modern humans were left to forge our destiny in the world. The first aboriginal Australians settled the areas we now call Sydney and Melbourne. We started to domesticate dogs and create more intricate figurines, often of a Venus. We made ivory beads, and even flutes of bone. We slowly spread. Nomadic peoples, looking for good hunting and gathering spots. In the Pavolv Hills in the modern Czech Republic they started weaving and firing figurines from clay. We began to cremate our dead. Cultures like the Kebaran spread, to just south of Haifa. But as those tribes grew, there was strength in numbers. The Bhimbetka rock shelters began in the heart of modern-day India, with nearly 800 shelters spread across 8 square miles from 30,000 years ago to well into the Bronze Age. Here, we see elephants, deer, hunters, arrows, battles with swords, and even horses. A snapshot into the lives of of generation after generation. Other cave systems have been found throughout the world including Belum in India but also Germany, France, and most other areas humans settled. As we found good places to settle, we learned that we could do more than forage and hunt for our food. Our needs became more complex. Over those next ten thousand years we built ovens and began using fibers, twisting some into rope, making clothing out of others, and fishing with nets. We got our first semi-permanent settlements, such as Dolce Vestonice in the modern day Czech Republic, where they had a kiln that could be used to fire clay, such as the Venus statue found there - and a wolf bone possibly used as a counting stick. The people there had woven cloth, a boundary made of mammoth bones, useful to keep animals out - and a communal bonfire in the center of the village. A similar settlement in modern Siberia shows a 24,000 year old village. Except the homes were a bit more subterranean. Most parts of the world began to cultivate agriculture between 20,000 and 15,000 years ago according to location. During this period we solved the age old problem of food supplies, which introduced new needs. And so we saw the beginnings of pottery and textiles. Many of the cultures for the next 15,000 years are now often referred to based on the types of pottery they would make. These cultures settled close to the water, surrounding seas or rivers. And we built large burial mounds. Tools from this time have been found throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and in modern Mumbai in India. Some cultures were starting to become sedentary, such as the Natufian culture we collected grains, started making bread, cultivating cereals like rye, we got more complex socioeconomics, and these villages were growing to support upwards of 150 people. The Paleolithic time of living in caves and huts, which began some two and a half million years ago was ending. By 10,000 BCE, Stone Age technology evolved to include axes, chisels, and gouges. This is a time many parts of the world entered the Mesolithic period. The earth was warming and people were building settlements. Some were used between cycles of hunting. As the plants we left in those settlements grew more plentiful, people started to stay there more, some becoming permanent inhabitants. Settlements like in Nanzhuangtou, China. Where we saw dogs and stones used to grind and the cultivation of seed grasses. The mesolithic period is when we saw a lot of cave paintings and engraving. And we started to see a division of labor. A greater amount of resources led to further innovation. Some of the inventions would then have been made in multiple times and places again and again until we go them right. One of those was agriculture. The practice of domesticating barley, grains, and wheat began in the millennia leading up to 10,000 BCE and spread up from Northeast Africa and into Western Asia and throughout. There was enough of a surplus that we got the first granary by 9500 BCE. This is roughly the time we saw the first calendar circles emerge. Tracking time would be done first with rocks used to form early megalithic structures. Domestication then spread to animals with sheep coming in around the same time, then cattle, all of which could be done in a pastoral or somewhat nomadic lifestyle. Humans then began to domesticate goats and pigs by 8000 BCE, in the Middle East and China. Something else started to appear in the eight millennium BCE: a copper pendant was found in Iraq. Which brings us to the Neolithic Age. And people were settling along the Indus River, forming larger complexes such as Mehrgarh, also from 7000 BCE. The first known dentistry dates back to this time, showing drilled molars. People in the Timna Valley, located in modern Israel also started to mine copper. This led us to the second real crafting specialists after pottery. Metallurgy was born. Those specialists sought to improve their works. Potters started using wheels, although we wouldn't think to use them vertically to pull a cart until somewhere between 6000 BCE and 4000 BCE. Again, there are six simple machines. The next is the wheel and axle. Humans were nomadic, or mostly nomadic, up until this point but settlements and those who lived in them were growing. We starting to settle in places like Lake Nasser and along the river banks from there, up the Nile to modern day Egypt. Nomadic people settled into areas along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers with Maghzaliyah being another village supporting 150 people. They began to building using packed earth, or clay, for walls and stone for foundations. This is where one of the earliest copper axes has been found. And from those early beginnings, copper and so metallurgy spread for nearly 5,000 years. Cultures like the Yangshao culture in modern China first began with slash and burn cultivation, or plant a crop until the soil stops producing and move on. They built rammed earth homes with thatched, or wattle, roofs. They were the first to show dragons in artwork. In short, with our bellies full, we could turn our attention to the crafts and increasing our standard of living. And those discoveries were passed from complex to complex in trade, and then in trade networks. Still, people gotta' eat. Those who hadn't settled would raid these small villages, if only out of hunger. And so the cultural complexes grew so neolithic people could protect one another. Strength in numbers. Like a force multiplier. By 6000 BCE we got predynastic cultures flourishing in Egypt. With the final remnants of the ice age retreating, raiders moved in on the young civilization complexes from the spreading desert in search of food. The area from the Nile Valley in northern Egypt, up the coast of the Mediterranean and into the Tigris and Euphrates is now known as the Fertile Crescent - and given the agriculture and then pottery found there, known as the cradle of civilization. Here, we got farming. We weren't haphazardly putting crops we liked in the grounds but we started to irrigate and learn to cultivate. Generations passed down information about when to plant various crops was handed down. Time was kept by the season and the movement of the stars. People began settling into larger groups in various parts of the world. Small settlements at first. Rice was cultivated in China, along the Yangtze River. This led to the rise of the Beifudi and Peiligang cultures, with the first site at Jaihu with over 45 homes and between 250 and 800 people. Here, we see raised altars, carved pottery, and even ceramics. We also saw the rise of the Houli culture in Neolithic China. Similar to other sites from the time, we see hunting, fishing, early rice and millet production and semi-subterranean housing. But we also see cooked rice, jade artifacts, and enough similarities to show technology transfer between Chinese settlements and so trade. Around 5300 BCE we saw them followed by the Beixin culture, netting fish, harvesting hemp seeds, building burial sites away from settlements, burying the dead with tools and weapons. The foods included fruits, chicken and eggs, and lives began getting longer with more nutritious diets. Cultures were mingling. Trading. Horses started to be tamed, spreading from around 5000 BCE in Kazakstan. The first use of the third simple machine came around 5000 BCE when the lever was used first, although it wouldn't truly be understood until Archimedes. Polished stone axes emerged in Denmark and England. Suddenly people could clear out larger and larger amounts of forest and settlements could grow. Larger settlements meant more to hunt, gather, or farm food - and more specialists to foster innovation. In todays Southern Iraq this led to the growth of a city called Eridu. Eridu was the city of the first Sumerian kings. The bay on the Persian Gulf allowed trading and being situated at the mouth of the Euphrates it was at the heart of the cradle of civilization. The original neolithic Sumerians had been tribal fishers and told stories of kings from before the floods, tens of thousands of years before the era. They were joined by the Samarra culture, which dates back to 5,700 BCE, to the north who brought knowledge of irrigation and nomadic herders coming up from lands we would think of today as the Middle East. The intermixing of skills and strengths allowed the earliest villages to be settled in 5,300 BCE and grow into an urban center we would consider a city today. This was the beginning of the Sumerian Empire Going back to 5300, houses had been made of mud bricks and reed. But they would build temples, ziggurats, and grow to cover over 25 acres with over 4,000 people. As the people moved north and gradually merged with other cultural complexes, the civilization grew. Uruk grew to over 50,000 people and is the etymological source of the name Iraq. And the population of all those cities and the surrounding areas that became Sumer is said to have grown to over a million people. They carved anthropomorphic furniture. They made jewelry of gold and created crude copper plates. They made music with flutes and stringed instruments, like the lyre. They used saws and drills. They went to war with arrows and spears and daggers. They used tablets for writing, using a system we now call cuneiform. Perhaps they wrote to indicate lunar months as they were the first known people to use 12 29-30 day months. They could sign writings with seals, which they are also credited with. How many months would it be before Abraham of Ur would become the central figure of the Old Testament in the Bible? With scale they needed better instruments to keep track of people, stock, and other calculations. The Sumerian abacus - later used by the Egyptians and then the device we know of as an abacus today entered widespread use in the sixth century in the Persian empire. More and more humans were learning larger precision counting and numbering systems. They didn't just irrigate their fields; they built levees to control floodwaters and canals to channel river water into irrigation networks. Because water was so critical to their way of life, the Sumerian city-states would war and so built armies. Writing and arithmetic don't learn themselves. The Sumerians also developed the concept of going to school for twelve years. This allowed someone to be a scribe or writer, which were prestigious as they were as necessary in early civilizations as they are today. In the meantime, metallurgy saw gold appear in 4,000 BCE. Silver and lead in 3,000 BCE, and then copper alloys. Eventually with a little tin added to the copper. By 3000 BCE this ushered in the Bronze Age. And the need for different resources to grow a city or empire moved centers of power to where those resources could be found. The Mesopotamian region also saw a number of other empires rise and fall. The Akkadians, Babylonians (where Hammurabi would eventually give the first written set of laws), Chaldeans, Assyrians, Hebrews, Phoenicians, and one of the greatest empires in history, the Persians, who came out of villages in Modern Iran that went back past 10,000 BCE to rule much of the known world at the time. The Persians were able to inherit all of the advances of the Sumerians, but also the other cultures of Mesopotamia and those they traded with. One of their trading partners that the Persians conquered later in the life of the empire, was Egypt. Long before the Persians and then Alexander conquered Egypt they were a great empire. Wadi Halfa had been inhabited going back 100,000 years ago. Industries, complexes, and cultures came and went. Some would die out but most would merge with other cultures. There is not much archaeological evidence of what happened from 9,000 to 6,000 BCE but around this time many from the Levant and Fertile Crescent migrated into the area bringing agriculture, pottery, then metallurgy. These were the Nabta then Tasian then Badarian then Naqada then Amratian and in around 3500 BCE we got the Gerzean who set the foundation for what we may think of as Ancient Egypt today with a drop in rain and suddenly people moved more quickly from the desert like lands around the Nile into the mincreasingly metropolitan centers. Cities grew and with trade routes between Egypt and Mesopotamia they frequently mimicked the larger culture. From 3200 BCE to 3000 BCE we saw irrigation begin in protodynastic Egypt. We saw them importing obsidian from Ethiopia, cedar from Lebanon, and grow. The Canaanites traded with them and often through those types of trading partners, Mesopotamian know-how infused the empire. As did trade with the Nubians to the south, who had pioneered astrological devices. At this point we got Scorpion, Iry-Hor, Ka, Scorpion II, Double Falcon. This represented the confederation of tribes who under Narmer would unite Egypt and he would become the first Pharaoh. They would all be buried in Umm El Qa'ab, along with kings of the first dynasty who went from a confederation to a state to an empire. The Egyptians would develop their own written language, using hieroglyphs. They took writing to the next level, using ink on papyrus. They took geometry and mathematics. They invented toothpaste. They built locked doors. They took the calendar to the next level as well, giving us 364 day years and three seasons. They'd of added a fourth if they'd of ever visited Minnesota, don'tchaknow. And many of those Obelisks raided by the Romans and then everyone else that occupied Egypt - those were often used as sun clocks. They drank wine, which is traced in its earliest form to China. Imhotep was arguably one of the first great engineers and philosophers. Not only was he the architect of the first pyramid, but he supposedly wrote a number of great wisdom texts, was a high priest of Ra, and acted as a physician. And for his work in the 27th century BCE, he was made a deity, one of the few outside of the royal family of Egypt to receive such an honor. Egyptians used a screw cut of wood around 2500 BCE, the fourth simple machine. They used it to press olives and make wine. They used the fifth to build pyramids, the inclined plane. And they helped bring us the last of the simple machines, the pulley. And those pyramids. Where the Mesopotamians built Ziggurats, the Egyptians built more than 130 pyramids from 2700 BCE to 1700 BCE. And the Great Pyramid of Giza would remain the largest building in the world for 3,800 years. It is built out of 2.3 million blocks, some of which weigh as much as 80 tonnes. Can you imagine 100,000 people building a grave for you? The sundial emerged in 1,500 BCE, presumably in Egypt - and so while humans had always had limited lifespans, our lives could then be divided up into increments of time. The Chinese cultural complexes grew as well. Technology and evolving social structures allowed the first recorded unification of all those neolithic peoples when You the Great and his father brought flood control, That family, as the Pharos had, claimed direct heritage to the gods, in this case, the Yellow Emperor. The Xia Dynasty began in China in 2070 BCE. They would flourish until 1600 BCE when they were overthrown by the Shang who lasted until 1046 when they were overthrown by the Zhou - the last ancient Chinese dynasty before Imperial China. Greek civilizations began to grow as well. Minoan civilization from 1600 to 1400 BCE grew to house up to 80,000 people in Knossos. Crete is a large island a little less than half way from Greece to Egypt. There are sites throughout the islands south of Greece that show a strong Aegean and Anatolian Cycladic culture emerging from 4,000 BCE but given the location, Crete became the seat of the Minoans, first an agricultural community and then merchants, facilitating trade with Egypt and throughout the Mediterranean. The population went from less than 2,000 people in 2500 BCE to up to 100,000 in 1600 BCE. They were one of the first to be able to import knowledge, in the form of papyrus from Egypt. The Mycenaeans in mainland Greece, along with earthquakes that destroyed a number of the buildings on Crete, contributed to the fall of the Minoan civilization and alongside the Hittites, Assyrians, Egyptians, and Babylonians, we got the rise of the first mainland European empire: Mycenaean Greece. Sparta would rise, Athens, Corinth, Thebes. After conquering Troy in the Trojan War the empire went into decline with the Bronze Age collapse. We can read about the war in the Iliad and the return home in the Odyssey, written by Homer nearly 400 years later. The Bronze Age ended in around 1,200 BCE - as various early empires outgrew the ability to rule ancient metropolises and lands effectively, as climate change forced increasingly urbanized centers to de-urbanize, as the source of tin dried up, and as smaller empires banded together to attack larger empires. Many of these empires became dependent on trade. Trade spread ideas and technology and science. But tribalism and warfare disrupted trade routes and fractured societies. We had to get better at re-using copper to build new things. The fall of cultures caused refugees, as we see today. It's likely a conflagration of changing cultures and what we now call Sea People caused the collapse. These Sea People include refugees, foreign warlords, and mercenaries used by existing empires. These could have been the former Philistines, Minoans, warriors coming down from the Black Sea, the Italians, people escaping a famine on the Anatolian peninsula, the Mycenaeans as they fled the Dorian invasion, Sardinians, Sicilians, or even Hittites after the fall of that empire. The likely story is a little bit of each of these. But the Neo-Assyrians were weakened in order to take Mesopotamia and then the Neo-Babylonians were. And finally the Persian Empire would ultimately be the biggest winners. But at the end of the Bronze Age, we had all the components for the birth of the Iron Age. Humans had writing, were formally educating our young, we'd codified laws, we mined, we had metallurgy, we tamed nature with animal husbandry, we developed dense agriculture, we architected, we warred, we destroyed, we rebuilt, we healed, and we began to explain the universe. We started to harness multiple of the six simple machines to do something more in the world. We had epics that taught the next generation to identify places in the stars and pass on important knowledge to the next generation. And precision was becoming more important. Like being able to predict an eclipse. This led Chaldean astronomers to establish Saros, a period of 223 synodic months to predict the eclipse cycle. And instead of humans computing those times, within just a few hundred years, Archimedes would document the use of and begin putting math behind many of the six simple devices so we could take interdisciplinary approaches to leveraging compound and complex machines to build devices like the Antikythera mechanism. We were computing. We also see that precision in the way buildings were created. After the collapse of the Bronze Age there would be a time of strife. Warfare, famines, disrupted trade. The great works of the Pharaohs, Mycenaeans and other world powers of the time would be put on hold until a new world order started to form. As those empires grew, the impacts would be lasting and the reach would be greater than ever. We'll add a link to the episode that looks at these, taking us from the Bronze Age to antiquity. But humanity slowly woke up to proto-technology. And certain aspects of our lives have been inherited over so many generations from then.

Programa realizado en Rivas Vaciamadrid por vídeoconferencia y publicado originalmente el 10 de mayo de 2020. En los albores más profundos de las civilizaciones humanas encontramos, entre dos legendarios ríos, la llamada tierra de Súmer, la tierra de los Sumerios. Un pueblo que permaneció prácticamente oculto a los ojos de los futuros habitantes de la Tierra hasta hace poco más de un siglo. Hoy hablamos de Sumeria, una cultura que tuvo que ser descubierta en buena medida gracias a las pistas que su lengua y su escritura dejaron en el curso de la vibrante historia de Oriente Medio. Vamos a tratar de desentrañar esa historia, la de la tierra de Gilgamesh, la de las antiguas ciudades de Ur y Eridu, que se desveló poco a poco en unas curiosas muescas sobre tablas de arcilla que hoy conocemos como escritura cuneiforme. Junto a María Ribes Lafoz hablaremos de lengua y de mitología en los primeros pasos del hombre civilizado sobre el planeta Tierra.
This week! Uncle Mark reads the weather report for 2600 BCE with Ziasudra, Uncle Dan proves that the god of the Bible is a mess, and Uncle Doug challenges us to make the post-plague world a better place.
Was Eridu truly the first city on Earth? Why do ancient texts tell us a far different story about human history than we’re taught in school? This episode of Mastermind Discussions I’m joined by Jeffery Wilson from the Conspiracy Farm, to break down the Sumerian King List, Eridu Genesis, Myth of Adapa, and Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta cuneiform tablets to uncover answers. Are we actually the Anunnaki? Tune in to find out…

THE TOWER of Babel was not at Babylon. It was at a place that was at least as important in the spiritual sense: Eridu. The Sumerians remember Eridu as the first city, where “kingship” was lowered from heaven, and, most important, it's where the oldest and largest ziggurat in Mesopotamia was located. That was the temple of the god Enki, the E-abzu—the “House of the Abyss.” It was believed that Enki sent the gifts of civilization to humanity with the apkallu, the Mesopotamian Watchers, angelic beings who were later banished to the abzu by the chief god Marduk. Of course, that's a twisted version of the biblical account in which the rebellious Watchers were imprisoned by God in Tartarus (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6). We explain why Babel should not be confused with Babylon, discuss the identity of the historical character the Hebrews called Nimrod, and speculate on why God found the Tower of Babel so offensive that He personally intervened to stop it.

PRIDE AND a drift away from the Creator is evident in today's study, which features the generations of patriarchs between Adam and Noah. We discuss the first city built (Gen. 4:17) and explain why we think the builder was Cain's son, Enoch (not the Enoch who “walked with God,” who was a descendant of Seth). That was probably the ancient city of Eridu, home of the god Enki, lord of the abyss, site of the oldest and largest ziggurat in Mesopotamia. We also discuss the pride of Lamech, descendant of Cain, and his boast that his death would be avenged seventy-seven times, the reason for the sudden emergence of civilization in ancient Sumer, and why the descendants of Cain may have been lured into creating a society based around cities rather than a rural or pastoral culture.

This week in Studio Kitchen Colorado we welcomed new sponsor to the show Rome's Sausage and President Chris Johnson! Cooking in the kitchen were chefs Aaron Lande from Eridu and chef Mo Montgomery from Pueblo Community College! These two chefs cooked delicious food for the hungry and excited guests! We also enjoyed Colorado Craft cocktails from Idlewild Spirits in Winter Park, Colorado craft beer from New Image Brewing and talked with Steve Kurowski from the Colorado Brewers Guild about Colorado craft beer and spirits! Tune in to hear Kevin Galaba from Friends and Family and Super Delicious Events makes some awesome cocktails with Idlewild Spirits! Daniel Ryley from Extended Hands of Hope was on the show to talk about a great event coming up for a all men ice fishing trip to raise awareness of the sex trafficking issue here in Colorado and empower the survivors to move forward with hope and dignity.
We explore two very fundamental changes to village life in and around the rivers of the Fertile Crescent. Irrigation and the emergence of a class based society.
Tonight on Deception Detection Radio with Kay and Chad, Ali Siadatan returns to discuss the first episode of his Goliath Rising Series, which has to do with the Sceptre of Rule as handed down by the "gods" in ancient Mesopotamia,in Eridu, the satanic power structure and how it competes with God's. He will be following the "sceptre" throughout the ages and looking at how it will culminate with the beast receiving authority from the Dragon, it ties into Nephilim blood lines & nephilim kings, modern hybrids....the coming world order. The first episode is about the sceptre of authority as handed by satan to the kings of the earth...Ali calls it " The Sceptre of Enlil" .

The Elements visit Eridu, and are devastated by what the find. However, there is no more time for grief or regrets; the time has come for the great Ritual that must save the age-- it simply must, or else this year of toil and despair will all have been for naught. Steel yourself for this, the last hope. Two sessions remain. Six Feats Under presents 13th Age Music by Thylacinus
The journey to Eridu was long and terrible. Here's what we talked about meanwhile!
What is history? World history is more than just a series of dramatic events. It is the story of the human community-- how people lived on a daily basis, how they shared ideas, how they ruled and were ruled, and how fought. Of economics, politics, and social change. History is about Queens and Kings, to infamous and famous people, compiled inrecord of the past. The most common definition of history is"a record of the past." To create this record, historians use documents (what has been record or written); artifacts, such as pottery, tools, and weapons; and even artworks, E.g., the historic record of National Geographic world history, tells of "The City States of Ancient Mesopotamia. The origins of the Sumerians people remains a mystery . By 3000 B.C., they had establishd a number of independent cities in southern Mesopotamia, including Eridu, Ur,and Uruk. As the cities expanded, they came to have political and economic control over the suroungding countryside. They formed city-states, the basic units of Sumerican civilization. Under Gods and Goddesses: The most prominent building in a Sumerian city was the temple dedicated to the chief god or goddess of the city. This temple was often built atop a massive stepped tower called a zigguart. The Sumerians believed that gods and goddesses owned the cities.[Page 39]

The Abyss has erupted into a host of evolved demons under the control of he who was once the Crusader, now know as the Lord of Devils. The Elements rush to find shelter for the dragonborn of Eridu in the ruins beneath their city-- with the help of an old friend. Soldiers loyal to justice rather than the Empire join the party in defending the city from an advance scouting party of devils. There is no longer any time for celebration or planning; the world is headed for destruction, and the Elements must find the final keys immediately.75 minutes of tabletalk!The legendary secrets of the Dragon Empire calendar... revealed!Six Feats Under presents: 13th AgeSupport us on Patreon!Check out video sessions on YouTube!Contact: sixfeatsunder@gmail.comTwitterTumblrSomethingAwful
Past, present, Imperial and Separatist collide in one boiling brew as the tensions in Eridu finally reach their climax. Slots and Margaret pursue opposing plans to resolve the situation, and the remaining party simply do their best to ensure that Eridu's populace will survive the fateful day to come. After the newborn Dragonborn's naming ceremony, the Empire will announce their ultimate plans for Eridu-- and worse, a far more sinister force grows on the horizon, deep within the Red Wastes.55 minutes of tabletalk!Content warning for discussion of violence from approximately 4:20 to 8:15 minutes in.

The Elements (and two guests) wrap up their Spookums Night celebrations in typically meady fashion as they arrive in Eridu's environs-- and along the way, have the honor of meeting the president of a state powerful enough to singlehandedly rival the Empire.Video of this part!Six Feats Under presents: Let's Play The Thirteenth AgeSupport us on Patreon!Check out video sessions on YouTube!Contact: sixfeatsunder@gmail.comTwitterTumblrSomethingAwful
At Strawberry Gelato's suggestion, the party visits a nearby druid village to fill up on natural life energy, the precious fuel for the Battlevan that will be produced at the conclusion of the Autumnal Ritual. Though it is hard to say whether the team is a good luck charm or a terrible omen, they successfully ward off the sudden appearance of an elite team of ogre magi-- and one baffled lich. Thus refueled, the party sets their sights on Eridu, home of the dragonborn, returning to the southern Empire for the first time since that nasty Cathedral debacle.25 minutes of tabletalk!Six Feats Under presents: Let's Play The Thirteenth AgeSupport us on Patreon!Check out video sessions on YouTube!Contact: sixfeatsunder@gmail.comTwitterTumblrSomethingAwful
When you take the bible from folks, what you give them in its place? Give them 'the truth. We are force to respect human history, and to know the metaphysical power and evil contained in the bible, the cause of our confusion and conflict. Truth is authentic human history written by people, as the corridor leading to human origin. Clearly the bible lies about our origin, and it divides us. History gives a coherent narrative of time, name and place for important things of our origin, and the knowledge of it will unite people . On the other hand the bible gives us confusion:belief in an unknown God, symbolisms and conjectures for sense of our origin. Historic knowledge is enlightenment, its the power that we need, and the bible has not delivered that to us. (1) History of major ancient civilizations gives us Enki and Enlil as our creators for working purpose in Africa. They lived in places with names such as: a. Eridu b.Uruk c.Ur d. Meluhha & e. Dilmum (2) See lies of the bible in Genesis chapter 1:1-31 In resolution let us reclaim our dignity by knowing real truth of recorded human history.
A text featuring the "Sumerian King List," states when kingship was lowered from heaven, it was first established in Eridu. A man named Alulim became king and ruled for 28, 800 years. After listing other antediluvial rulers and cities, the text states that "then the Flood swept over the Earth." After the Flood swept over the Earth, kingship was in Kish." Enlil the Chief Administrator of the Anunnaki on Earth, kingship was his portfolio and embodiment of organized society. It is from Sumer that we have inherited the concept of judges, juries witnesses, and contracts. The unity of society we call the "family ," based on a contractual marriage, rules of customs, succession, of adoption, rights of widows, economics activities, employment, wages and taxation, foreign trade. At a place called Drehem meticulous records were kept of al commercial movements of goods and animals. Until this day what all call a "civilized society." still owes its foundation to the time when "kinship was lowered from heaven."
New Eridu welcomes Dixie the Dreamchild, host of her own BlogTalkRadio show on the GoldRing Rysa channel. Dixie joins us today to chat about her experiences over the past week and how the energy has brought forward those same old issues again... We'll talk about how to use the mirrors we find in the world and in one another to recognize opportunities to work through these resurfacing issues, and how solving our "personal" issues contribute to working them out on a cosmic scale.
