Were the Anunnagi Sumerians Equal to the Nephilim ?

sumerian and akkadian texts leave no doubt that the peoples of the ancient Near East were certain that the gods of heaven and earth were able to rise from earth and ascend into the heavens as well as Rome Earth's skies at will Anana here described as roaming the heavens over many lands that lie far apart feats possible only by flying herself spoke on another occasion of her flying in a text which s Langdon named a classical Liturgy of Anini the goddess laments her expulsion from her city acting on the instructions of Enlil an emissary who brought to me the word of heaven entered her throne room his unwashed hands put on me and after other indignities me from my temple they calls to fly a queen mi whom from my city like a bird they caused to fly such a capability by you Nana as well as the other major gods was often indicated by the ancient artists by depicting the gods anthropomorphic in all other respects with wings the wings as can be seen from numerous depictions were not part of the body not natural wings but rather a decorative attachment to the gods clothing in Anna Ishtar whose far-flung travels are mentioned in many ancient texts commuted between her initial distant domain in errata and her coveted abode in uruk she called upon inky in air adieu and in Lille in nipper and visited her brother ooh - at his headquarters in sipar but her most celebrated journey was to the lower world the domain of her sister Ereshkigal the journey was the subject not only of epic tales but also of artistic depictions on cylinder seals the latter showing the goddess with wings to stress the fact that she flew over from Sumer to the lower world the texts dealing with this hazardous journey describe how in Anna very meticulously put on herself seven objects prior to the start of the voyage and how she had to give them up she passed through the seven gates leading to her sister's abode seven such objects are also mentioned in other texts dealing with in Anna's Skyborn travels number one the Shu Gaara she put on her head number two measuring pendants on her ears number three chains of small blue stones around her neck number four twin stones on her shoulders number five a golden cylinder in her hands number six straps clasping her breast number seven the pala garment clothed around her body though no one has as yet been able to explain the nature and significance of these seven objects we feel that the answer has long been available excavating the Assyrian capital asar from 1903 to 1914 Walter Andre and his colleagues found in the temple of Ishtar a battered statue of the goddess showing her with various contraptions attached to her chest and back in 1934 archaeologists excavating at Mari came upon a similar but intact statue buried in the ground it was a life-size likeness of a beautiful woman her unusual headdress was adorned with a pair of horns indicating that she was a goddess standing around the 4000 year old statue the archaeologists were thrilled by her lifelike appearance in a snapshot one can hardly distinguish between the Statue and the living men they named her the goddess with a vase because she was holding a cylindrical object unlike the flat carvings or bas reliefs this life-size three-dimensional representation of the goddess reveals interesting features about her attire on her head she wears not a milliner chapeau but a special helmet protruding from it on both sides and fitted over the ears are objects that remind one of a pilot's earphones on her neck and upper chest the goddess wears a necklace of many small and probably precious stones in her hands she holds a Solyndra object which appears too thick and heavy to be a vase for holding water over a blouse of see-through material to parallel straps run across her chest leading back to and holding in place an unusual box of rectangular shape the box is held tight against the back of the goddesses neck and is firmly attached to the helmet with a horizontal strap whatever the box held inside must have been heavy for the contraption is further supported by two large shoulder pads the weight of the box is increased by a hose that is connected to its base by a circular clasp the complete package of instruments for this is what they undoubtedly were is held in place with the aid of the two sets of straps that crisscross the goddess's back and chest the parallel between the seven objects required by a Nana for her aerial journeys and the dress and objects worn by the statue from Mari and probably also the mutilated one found at Ishtar's temple and Ashur is easily proved we see the measuring pendants the earphones on her ears the rows or chains of small stones around her neck the twin stones the two shoulder pads on her shoulders the golden cylinder in her hands and the clasping straps that crisscross her breast she is indeed clothed in Apollo garment rulers garment and on her head she wears the shigera helmet a term that literally means that which makes go far into universe all this suggests to us that the attire of an Nana was that of an aeronaut or an astronaut the Old Testament called the angels of the Lord mala heme literally emissaries who carried divine messages and carried out divine commands and so many instances reveal they were divine airman Jacob saw them going up a sky ladder Hagar Abraham's concubine was addressed by them from the sky and it was they who brought about the aerial destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah the biblical account of the events preceding the destruction of the two sinful cities illustrates the fact that these emissaries were on the one hand and through poor morphic in all respects and on the other hand they could be identified as angels as soon as they were observed we learned that their appearance was sudden Abraham raised his eyes and lo and behold there were three men standing by him bowing and calling them my Lords he pleaded with them do not pass over thy servant and prevailed on them to wash their feet rest and eat having donnas abraham had requested two of the angels the third man turned out to be the Lord Himself then proceeded to Sodom lot the nephew of Abraham was sitting at the gate of Sodom and when he saw them he rose up to meet them and bowed to the ground and said if it pleases my Lords pray come to the house of thy servant and wash your feet and sleep overnight then he made for them a feast and they ate when the news of the arrival of the two spread in the town all the townspeople young and old surrounded the house and called out to lot and said where are the men who came this night unto thee how were these men who ate drank slept and washed their tired feet nevertheless so instantly recognizable as angels of the Lord the only plausible explanation is that what they wore their helmets or uniforms or what they carried their weapons made them immediately recognizable that they carried distinctive weapons is certainly a possibility the two men at Sodom about to be lynched by the crowd smote the people at the entrance of the house with blindness and they were unable to find the doorway and another angel this time appearing to Gideon as he was chosen to be a judge in Israel gave him a divine sign by touching a rock with his baton whereupon a fire jumped out of the rock the team headed by Andre found yet another unusual depiction of Ishtar at her temple in Asscher more a wall sculpture than the usual relief it showed the goddess with a tight-fitting decorated helmet with the earphones extended as though they had their own flat antennas and wearing very distinct goggles that were part of the helmet needless to say any man seeing a person male or female so clad what it once realized that he is encountering a divine arrow not clay figurines found at Sumerian sites and believed to be some 5500 years old may well be crude representations of such Moloch I'm holding wand like weapons in one instance the face is seen through a helmets visor in the other instance the emissary wears the distinctive divine conical headdress and a uniform studded with circular objects of unknown function the eye slots or goggles of the figurines are a most interesting feature because the Near East and the 4th millennium BC was literally swamped with wafer like figurines that depicted in a stylized manner the upper part of the deities exaggerating their most prominent feature a conical helmet with elliptical visors or goggles a hoard of such figurines was found at Tel Brock a prehistoric site on the caber River the river on whose banks Ezekiel saw the divine chariot millennia later it is undoubtedly no mere coincidence that the Hittites linked to Sumer and Akkad via the caber area adopted as their written sign for gods the symbol clearly borrowed from the AI figurines it is also no wonder that this symbol or hieroglyph for divine being expressed in artistic styles came to dominate the art not only of Asia Minor but also of the early Greeks during the Minoan and Mycenaean periods the ancient texts indicate that the gods put on such special attire not only for their flights in Earth's skies but all so when they ascended to the distant heavens speaking of her occasional visits to on you at his celestial abode Anana herself explained that she could undertake such journeys because in lille himself fastened the divine me attire about my body the text quoted in lille as saying to her you have lifted the me you have tied the me to your hands you have gathered the me you have attached the me to your breast o queen of all the me o radiant light who with her hand grasps the seven me an early Sumerian ruler invited by the gods to ascend to the heavens was named and me durkani which literally meant ruler whose me connect heaven and earth an inscription by nebuchadnezzar ii describing the reconstruction of a special pavilion for marducks celestial chariot states that it was part of the fortified house of the seven me of heaven and earth the scholars refer to the me as divine power objects literally the term stems from the concept of swimming in celestial waters Anana described them as parts of the celestial garment that she put on for her journeys in the boat of heaven the me were thus parts of the special gear worn for flying in Earth's skies as well as into outer space the Greek legend of Icarus had him attempt to fly by attaching feathered wings to his body with wax the evidence from the ancient Near East shows that though the gods may have been depicted with wings to indicate their flying capabilities or perhaps sometimes put on winged uniforms as a mark of their airmanship they never attempted to use attached wings for flying instead they used vehicles for such travels the Old Testament informs us that the patriarch Jacob spending the night in a field outside of Haram saw a ladder set up on earth and its top reaching heavenwards on which angels of the Lord were busily going up and down the Lord himself stood at the top of the ladder and the astounded Jacob was fearful and he said indeed a god is present in this place and I knew it not how awesome is this place indeed this is none but the Lord's abode and this is the gateway to heaven there are two interesting points in this tale the first is that the divine beings going up and down at this gateway to heaven were using a mechanical facility a ladder the second is that the site took jacob by complete surprise the Lord's abode the ladder and the angels of the Lord using it were not there when Jacob laid down to sleep in the field suddenly there was the awesome vision and by morning the abode the ladder and their occupants were gone we may conclude that the equipment used by the divine beings was some kind of craft that could appear over a place hover for a while and disappear from sight once again the Old Testament also reports that the prophet Elijah did not die on earth but went up into heaven by a whirlwind this was not a sudden and unexpected event the ascent of Elijah to the heavens was pre-arranged he was told to go to Bethel the Lord's house on a specific day rumors had already spread among his disciples that he was about to be taken up to the heavens when they queried his deputy whether the rumor was true he confirmed that indeed the Lord will take away the master today and then there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire and Elijah went up into heaven by a whirlwind even more celebrated and certainly better described was the heavenly chariot seen by the prophet Ezekiel who dwelt among the Judean deportees on the banks of the kaabah River in northern Mesopotamia the heavens were opened and I saw the appearances of the Lord what Ezekiel saw was a man like being surrounded by brilliance and brightness sitting on a throne that rested on a metal firmament within the chariot the vehicle its which could move whichever way upon wheels within wheels and rise off the ground vertically was described by the Prophet as a glowing whirlwind and I saw a whirlwind coming from the north as a great cloud with flashes of fire and brilliance all around it and within it from within the fire there was a radiance like a glowing halo some biblical students of the biblical description such as Joseph F bloom rich of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration have concluded that to chariot scene by Ezekiel was a helicopter consisting of a cabin resting on four posts each equipped with rotary wings a whirlwind indeed about two millennia earlier when the Sumerian ruler Judea commemorated his building the temple for his God in erta he wrote that there appeared to him a man that shone like heaven by the helmet on his head he was a God when inert and to divine companions appeared to Judea they were standing beside nanar tez divine black wind bird as it turned out the main purpose of the temples construction was to provide a secure zone an inner special enclosure within the temple grounds for this divine bird the construction of this enclosure kudia reported required huge beams and massive stones imported from afar only when the divine bird was placed within the enclosure was the construction of the temple deemed complete and once in place the divine bird could lay hold on heaven and was capable of bringing together heaven and earth the object was so important sacred that it was constantly protected by two divine weapons the supreme hunter and the supreme killer weapons that emitted beams of light and death-dealing rays the similarity of the biblical and Sumerian descriptions both of the vehicles and the beings within them is obvious the description of the vehicles as bird wind bird and whirlwind that could rise heavenward while emitting a brilliance leaves no doubt that they were some kind of flying machine enigmatic murals uncovered at Tel gisu a site east of the Dead Sea whose ancient name is unknown may shed light on our subject dating to circa 3500 BC the murals depict a large eight pointed compass the head of a helmeted person with an ax bell shaped chamber and two designs of mechanical craft that could well have been the whirlwinds of antiquity the ancient texts also describes some vehicle used to lift arrow knots into the sky Judea stated that as the divine bird rose to circle the lands it flashed upon the raised bricks the protected enclosure was described as Mona dot her strong stone resting place of the MU Haruka Gina who ruled in Lagash said in regard to the divine black wind bird the MU that lights up as a fire I made high and strong similarly Liu ooh - who ruled in uma in the 3rd millennium BC constructed a place for a mu which in a fire comes forth for the God ooh - in the appointed place within his temple the babylonian king nebuchadnezzar ii recording his rebuilding of Marduk's sacred precinct said that within fortified walls made of burned brick and gleaming onyx marble I raised the head of the boat it guru the chariot of Marduk's Prince leanness the boat Zog mu KU whose approach is observed the supreme traveler between heaven and earth in the midst of the pavilion I enclosed screening off its sides it gave all the first epithet employed to describe the supreme traveler or chariot of Marduk literally means high to heaven bright at night Zog mu KU the second epithet describing the vehicle clearly a boat nesting in a special pavilion means the bright mu which is for afar that a mu an oval topped conical object was indeed installed in the inner sacred enclosure of the temples of the great gods of heaven and earth can fortunately be proved an ancient coin found at byblos the biblical gable on the Mediterranean coast of present-day Lebanon depicts the great temple of Ishtar though shown as it stood in the first millennium BC the requirement that temples be built and rebuilt upon the same site and in accordance with the original plan undoubtedly means that we see the basic elements of the original temple of byblos traced 2 millennia earlier the coin depicts a two-part temple in front stands the main temple structure imposing with its columned gateway behind it is an inner courtyard or sacred area hidden and protected by a high massive wall it is clearly a raised area for it can be reached only by ascending many stairs in the centre of this sacred area stands a special platform it's cross beam construction resembling that of the Eiffel Tower as though built to withstand great weight and on the platform stands the object of all this security and protection an object that can only be amou like most Sumerians syllabic words mu as a primary meaning in the case of mu it was that which rises straight its 30-odd nuances encompassed the meanings Heights fire command a counted period as well as in later times that by which one is remembered there is a conical chamber depicted by itself or with a narrow section attached to it from a golden chamber in the sky I will watch over thee Anana promised to the Assyrian King was this mu the heavenly chamber a hymn to annona Ishtar and her journeys in the boat of heaven clearly indicates that the MU was the vehicle in which the gods roamed the skies far and high lady of heaven she puts on the garment of heaven she valiantly ascends towards heaven overall the peopled lands she flies in her mu lady who in her mu to the heights of heaven joyfully wings over all the resting places she flies in her mu there is evidence to show that the people of the eastern Mediterranean had seen such a rocket like object not only in a temple enclosure but actually in flight Hittite glyphs for example showed against a background of starry heavens cruising missiles rockets mounted on launch pads and a God inside a radiating chamber professor h frankfurt demonstrating how both the art of making the Mesopotamian cylinder seals and the subjects depicted on them spread throughout the ancient world reproduces the design on a seal found in crete and dated to the 13th century BC the seal design clearly depicts a rocket ship moving in the skies and propelled by flames escaping from its rear the winged horses the entwined animals the winged celestial globe and the deity with horns protruding from his headdress are all known Mesopotamian themes it can certainly be assumed that the fiery rocket shown on the Cretan seal was also an object familiar throughout the ancient Near East indeed a rocket with wings or fins reachable by a ladder can be seen on a tablet excavated at gus' are a town in ancient Canaan west of Jerusalem the double imprint of the same seal also shows a rocket resting on the ground next to a palm tree the celestial nature or destination of the objects is attested by symbols of the Sun Moon and zodiacal constellations that adorn the seal the Mesopotamian texts that refer to the inner enclosures of temples or to the heavenly journeys of the gods or even two instances where mortals ascended to the heavens employ the Sumerian term mu or its Semitic derivatives shumou that which is a mu sham or Shem because the term also connoted that by which one is remembered the word has come to be taken as meaning name but the universal application of name to early texts that spoke of an object used in flying has obscured the true meaning of the ancient records thus GA Barton established the unchallenged translation of GU Diaz temple inscription that it smoo shall hug the lands from Horizon to Horizon as its name shall fill the lands a hymn - ich ker extolling his ray emitting Mew that could attain the heights of heaven was likewise rendered thy name is radiant it reaches heav'n Zenith sensing however that Muir Shem may mean an object and not name some scholars have treated the term as a suffix or grammatical phenomenon not requiring translation and have thereby avoided the issue altogether it is not too difficult to trace the etymology of the term and the route by which the sky chamber assumed the meaning of name sculptures have been found that show a God inside a rocket shaped chamber as in this object of extreme antiquity now in the possession of the University Museum Philadelphia where the celestial nature of the chamber is attested by the twelve Globes decorating it many seals similarly depict a God and sometimes two within such oval divine chambers in most instances these gods within their sacred ovals were depicted as objects of veneration wishing to worship their gods throughout the lands and not only at the official house of each deity the ancient peoples developed the custom of setting up imitations of the God within his divine sky chamber stone pillars shaped to simulate the oval vehicle were erected at selected sites and the image of the God was carved into the stone to indicate that he was within the object it was only a matter of time before kings and rulers associating these pillars called Stila with the ability to ascend to the heavenly abode began to carve their own images upon the Stila a way of associating themselves with the eternal abode if they could not escape a physical oblivion it was important that at least their name be forever commemorated that the purpose of the commemorative stone pillars was to simulate a fiery sky ship can further be gleaned from the term by which such stone Stila were known in antiquity the Sumerians called them Naru stones that rise the Acadians Babylonians and Assyrians called them Naru objects that give off light the Amuro called them Neuros fiery objects in hebrew nur still means a pillar that emits light and thus today's candle in the indo-european tongues of the hurry ins and the Hittites the Stila were called whoo ooh a Shi Firebird of stone biblical references indicate familiarity with two types of commemorative monument a Yad Anna Shem the prophet Isaiah conveyed to the suffering people of Judea the Lord's promise of a better and safer future and I will give them in my house and within my walls a Yad and a Shem literally translated this would amount to the Lord's promise to provide his people with a hand and a name fortunately however from ancient monuments called yards that still stand in the Holy Land we learned that they were distinguished by tops shaped like pyrimidines the Shem on the other hand was a memorial with an oval top both it seems evident began as simulations of the sky chamber the gods vehicle for ascending to the eternal abode in ancient Egypt in fact the devout made pilgrimages to a special temple in Heliopolis to view and worship the been been a pyramidion shaped object in which the gods had arrived on earth in times immemorial the Egyptian pharaohs on their deaths were subjected to a ceremony of opening of the mouth in which they were supposed to be transported by a similar yard or a Shem to the divine abode of eternal life the persistence of biblical translators to employ named wherever they encounter Shem has ignored a farsighted study published more than a century ago by GM red swab in which he correctly pointed out the term Shem and the term Shimane heaven stem from the root word Shema meaning that which is high word when the Old Testament reports that King David made a Shem to mark his victory over the error Mahon's red slob said he did not make a name but set up a monument pointing skyward the realization that mu or Shem in many Mesopotamian texts should be read not his name but a sky vehicle opens the way to the understanding of the true meaning of many ancient tales including the biblical story of the Tower of Babel the book of Genesis and its eleventh chapter reports on the attempt by humans to raise up a Shem the biblical account is given in concise and precise language that bespeaks historical fact yet generations of scholars and translators have sought to impart to the tale only an allegorical meaning because as they understood it it was a tale concerning mankind's desire to make a name for itself such an approach voided the tale of its factual meaning our conclusion regarding the true meaning of Shem makes the tale as meaningful as it must have been to the people of antiquity themselves the biblical tale of the Tower of Babel deals with events that followed the repopulation of earth after the deluge when some of the people journeyed from the east and they found a plain in the land of Shinar and they settled there the land of Shinar is of course the land of Sumer in the plain between the two rivers in southern Mesopotamia and the people already knowledgeable concerning the art of brick making and high-rise construction for an urban civilization said let us build us a city and a tower whose top shall reach the heavens and let us make a Shem lest we be scattered upon the face of the earth but this human scheme was not to God's liking and the Lord came down to see the city in the tower which the children of Adam had erected and he said Behold all are as one people with one language and this is just the beginning of their undertakings now anything which they shall scheme to do shall no longer be impossible for them and the Lord said to some colleagues whom the Old Testament does not name come let us go down and there confound their language so that they may not understand each other's speech and the Lord scattered them from there upon the face of the whole earth and they ceased to build the city therefore was its name called Babel for there did the Lord mingle the Earth's tongue the traditional translation of Shem as name has kept the tale unintelligible for generations why did the ancient residents of Babel Babylonia exert themselves to make a name why was the name to be placed upon a tower whose top shall reach the heavens and how could the making of a name counteract the effects of mankind's scattering upon earth if all that those people wanted was to make as scholars explained a reputation for themselves why did this attempt upset the Lord so much why was the raising of a name deemed by the deity to be a feat after which anything which they shall scheme to do shall no longer be impossible for them the traditional explanation certainly are insufficient to clarify why the Lord found it necessary to call upon other unnamed deities to go down and put an end to this human attempt we believe that the answers to all these questions become plausible even obvious once we read Skyborn vehicle rather than name for the word Shem which is the term employed in the original Hebrew text of the Bible the story would then deal with the concern of mankind that as the people spread upon earth they would lose contact with one another so they decided to build a Skyborn vehicle and to erect a launch tower for such a vehicle so that they too could like the goddess Ishtar for example fly animu over all the people blends a portion of the Babylonian texts known as the epic of creation relates that the first gateway of the Gods was constructed in Babylon by the gods themselves the Anunnaki the rank-and-file gods were ordered to construct the gateway of the gods let its brickwork be fashioned it's Shem shall be in the designated place for 2 years the Anunnaki toiled applied the implement molded bricks until they raised high the top of each Aguila house of great gods and built the stage tower as high as high heaven it was thus some cheek on the part of mankind to establish its own launch tower on a site originally used for the purpose by the gods for the name of the place Bobbili literally meant gateway of the gods is there any other evidence to corroborate the biblical tale and our interpretation of it the Babylonian historian priest Berossus who in the 3rd century BC compiled a history of mankind reported that the first inhabitants of the land glorying in their own strength undertook to raise a tower whose top should reach the sky but the tower was overturned by the gods and heavy winds and the gods introduced a diversity of tongues among men who till that time had all spoken the same language George Smith found in the writings of the Greek historian has stea s' a report that in accordance with olden traditions the people who had escaped the deluge came to cenar in Babylonia but were driven away from there by a diversity of tongues the historian Alexander polyhistor 1st century BC wrote that all men formerly spoke the same language then some undertook to erect a large and lofty Tower so that they might climb up to heaven but the chief God confounded their design by sending a whirl each tribe was given a different language the city where it happened was Babylon there is little doubt by now that the biblical tales as well as the reports of the Greek historians of two thousand years ago and of their predecessor Burruss all stemmed from earlier Sumerian origins aah seis reported reading on a fragmentary tablet in the British Museum the Babylonian version of the building of the Tower of Babel in all instances the attempt to reach the heavens and the ensuing confusion of tongues are basic elements of the version there are other Sumerian texts that record the deliberate confusion of man's tongue by an irate God mankind presumably did not possess at that time the technology required for such an aerospace project the guidance and collaboration of a knowledgeable God was essential did such a God defy the others to help mankind a Sumerian seal depicts a confrontation between armed gods apparently over the disputed construction by men of a staged tower a Sumerian Stila now on view in Paris in the Louvre may well depict the incident reported in the book of Genesis it was up circa 2300 BC by na Ramzan king of Akkad and scholars have assumed that it depicts the king victorious over his enemies but the large central figure is that of a deity and not of the human King for the person is wearing a helmet adorned with horns the identifying mark exclusive to the gods furthermore this central figure does not appear to be the leader of the smaller sized humans but to be trampling upon them these humans in turn do not seem to be engaged in any warlike activities but to be marching toward and standing in adoration of the same large conical object on which the deities attention is also focused armed with a bow and Lance the deity seems to view the object menacingly rather than with adoration the conical object is shown toward three celestial bodies if it's size shape and purpose indicate that it was a Shem then the scene depicted an angry and fully armed God trampling upon people celebrating the raising of a Shem both the Mesopotamian texts and the biblical account in part the same moral the flying machines were meant for the gods and not for mankind men assert both Mesopotamian and biblical texts could ascend to the heavenly abode only upon the express wish of the gods and therein lie more tales of a sense to the heavens and even of spaceflights the Old Testament records the ascent to the heavens of several mortal beings the first was Enoch a pre diluvian patriarch whom God befriended and who walked with the Lord he was the seventh patriarch in the line of Adam and the great-grandfather of Noah hero of the deluge the fifth chapter of the book of Genesis lists the genealogies of all these patriarchs and the ages at which they died except for Enoch who was gone for the Lord had taken him by implication and tradition it was heavenward to escape mortality on earth that God took Enoch the other mortal was the prophet Elijah who was lifted off earth and taken heavenward in a whirlwind a little-known reference to a third mortal who visited the divine abode and was endowed there with great wisdom is provided in the Old Testament and it concerns the ruler of tyre a Phoenician center on the eastern Mediterranean coast we read in chapter 28 of the Book of Ezekiel that the LORD commanded the Prophet to remind the King how perfect in wise he was enabled by the deity to visit with the gods thou art moulded by a plan full of wisdom perfect in beauty thou hast been in Eden the garden of God every precious stone was thy thicket thou art an anointed cherub protected and I have placed thee in the sacred mountain as a God worst thou moving within the fiery stones predicting that the ruler of Tyre should die a death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers even if he called out to them I am a deity the Lord then told Ezekiel the reason after the king was taken to the divine abode and given access to all wisdom and riches his heart grew haughty he misused his wisdom and he defiled the temples because thine heart is haughty saying a god am I in the abode of the deity i sat in the midst of the waters though thou art a man not a god now set thy heart as that of a deity the Sumerian texts also speak of several men who were privileged to ascend to the heavens one was a dapper the model man created by iya to him eeeyah had given wisdom eternal life he had not given him as the years went by eeeyah decided to avert adapt as mortal end by providing him with a Shem with which he was to reach the heavenly abode of on you there to partake of the bread of life and the water of life when a DAPA arrived at on youth celestial abode on you demanded to know who had provided a dapper with a Shem with which to reach the heavenly location there are several important clues to be found in both the biblical and Mesopotamian tales of the rare a sense of mortals to the abode of the gods Kadapa - like the king of tyre was made of a perfect mold all had to reach and employ a Shem fiery stone to reach the celestial Eden some had gone up and returned to earth others like the Mesopotamian hero of the deluge stayed there to enjoy the company of the gods it was to find this Mesopotamian Noah and obtain from him the secret of The Tree of Life that the Sumerian Gilgamesh set out the futile search by mortal man for the Tree of Life is the subject of one of the longest most powerful epic texts bequeathed to human culture by the Sumerian civilization named by modern scholars the Epic of Gilgamesh the moving tale concerns the ruler of Uruk who was born to a mortal father and a divine mother as a result Gilgamesh was considered to be two-thirds of him God 1/3 of him human a circumstance that prompted him to seek escape from the death that was the fate of mortals tradition had informed him that one of his forefathers would nough pitched him the hero of the deluge had escaped death having been taken to the heavenly abode together with his spouse Gilgamesh therefore decided to reach that place and obtain from his ancestor the secret of eternal life what prompted him to go was what he took to be an invitation from on you the verse is read like a description of the sighting of the falling back to earth of a spent rocket Gilgamesh described it thus to his mother the goddess nin soon my mother during the night I felt joyful and I walked about among my Nobles the Stars assembled in the heavens the handiwork of on you descended toward me I sought to lift it it was too heavy I sought to move it move it I could not the people of Uruk gathered about it while the nobles kissed its legs as I set my forehead they gave me support I raised it I brought it to thee the interpretation of the incident by Gilgamesh's mother is mutilated in the text and is thus unclear but obviously Gilgamesh was encouraged by the sighting of the falling object the handiwork of on you to embark on his adventure in the introduction to the epic the ancient Reporter called Gilgamesh the wise one he who has experienced everything secret things he has seen what is hidden to man he knows he even brought tidings of a time before the deluge he also took the distant journey wearisome and under difficulties he returned and engraved all his toil upon a stone pillar the distant journey Gilgamesh undertook was of course his journey to the abode of the gods he was accompanied by his comrade Enkidu their target was the land of till moon for there Gilgamesh could raise a Shem for himself the current translations employ the expected name where the Sumerian mu or the Akkadian shumou appear in the ancient texts we shall however employ Shem instead so that the terms true meaning a Skyborn vehicle will come through the ruler Gilgamesh toward the land of till moon said his mind he says to his companion Enkidu o Anki do I would enter the land set up my Shem in the places where the Shems were raised up I would raise my Shem unable to dissuade him both the elders of Uruk and the gods whom Gilgamesh consulted advised him to first obtain the consent and assistance of ooo to shamash if thou wouldst and to the land in for Muthu they cautioned him the land it is in twos charge they stressed and re stressed to him thus forewarned and advised Gilgamesh appealed to you two for permission let me enter the land let me set up my Shem in the places where the Shems are raised up let me raise my Shem bring me to the landing place at establish over me thy protection an unfortunate break in the tablet leaves us ignorant regarding the location of the landing place but wherever it was Gilgamesh and his companion finally reached its outskirts it was a restricted zone protected by awesome guards weary and sleepy the two friends decided to rest overnight before continuing no sooner had sleep overcome them then something shook them up and awoke them it's thou aroused me Gilgamesh asked his comrade am i awake he wondered for he was witnessing unusual sights so awesome that he wondered whether he was awake or dreaming he told Enkidu in my dream my friend the high ground toppled it laid me low trapped my feet the glare was overpowering a man appeared the fairest in the land was he his grace from under the toppled ground he pulled me out he gave me water to drink my heart quieted who wants this man the fairest in the land who pulled Gilgamesh from under the landslide gave him water quieted his heart and what was the overpowering glare that accompanied the unexplained landslide unsure troubled Gilgamesh fell asleep again but not for long in the middle of the watch his sleep was ended he started up saying to his friend my friend didst thou call me why am i awake did so not touch me why am i startled did not some God go by why is my flesh No thus mysteriously reawakened Gilgamesh wondered who had touched him if it was not his comrade was it some God who went by once more Gilgamesh dozed off only to be awakened a third time he described the awesome occurrence to his friend the vision that I saw was wholly awesome the heavens shrieked the earth boomed daylight failed darkness came lightning flashed a flame shot up the clouds swelled it rained death then the glow vanished the fire went out and all that had fallen had turned to ashes one needs little imagination to see in these few verses an ancient account of the witnessing of the launching of a rocket ship first the tremendous thud as the rocket engines ignited the heavens shrieked accompanied by a marked shaking of the ground the earth boomed clouds of smoke and dust enveloped the launching site daylight failed darkness came then the brilliance of the ignited engines showed through lightning flashed as the rocket ship began to climb skyward a flame shot up the cloud of dust and debris swelled in all directions then as it began to fall down it rained death now the rocket ship was high in the air streaking heavenward the glow vanished the fire went out the rocket ship was gone from sight and the debris that had fallen had turned to ashes awed by what he saw yet as determined as ever to reach his destination Gilgamesh once more appealed to shamash for protection and support overcoming a monstrous guard he reached the mountain of masu where one could see shamash rise up to the vault of heaven he was now near his first objective the site where the Shen's are raised up but the entrance to the site apparently cut into the mountain was guarded by fierce guards their terror is awesome their glances death their shimmering spotlight sweeps the mountains they watch over shamash and he ascends and descends a seal depiction showing Gilgamesh and his companion Enkidu may well depict the intercession of a God with one of the robot-like guards who could sweep the area with spotlights and emit death rays the description brings to mind the statement in the book of Genesis that God placed the revolving sword at the entrance to the Garden of Eden to block its access to humans when Gilgamesh explained his partly divine origins the purpose of his trip about death and life I wish to ask would not pitched him and the fact that he was on his way with the consent of ooo to shamash the guards allowed him to go ahead proceeding along the route of shamash Gilgamesh found himself in utter darkness seeing nothing ahead or behind he cried out in fright travelling for many baro a unit of time distance or the Ark of the heavens he was still engulfed by darkness finally it had grown bright when 12 Barrow he attained the damaged and blurred text then has Gilgamesh arriving at a magnificent garden where the fruits and trees were carved of semi-precious stones it was there that it not pitched him resided posing his problem to his ancestor Gilgamesh encountered a disappointing answer man who'd not pitched him said cannot escape his mortal fate however he offered Gilgamesh a way to postpone death revealing to him the location of the plant of youth man becomes young in old age it was called triumphant Gilgamesh obtained the plant but as fate would have it he foolishly lost it on his way back and returned to aruch empty-handed putting aside the literary and philosophical use of the epic tale the story of Gilgamesh interests us here primarily for its aerospace aspects the Shem that Gilgamesh required in order to reach the abode of the gods was undoubtedly a rocketship the launching of one of which he had witnessed as he neared the landing place the Rockets it would seem were located inside a mountain and the area was a well guarded restricted zone no pictorial depiction of what Gilgamesh saw has so far come to light but a drawing found in the tomb of an Egyptian governor of a far land shows a rocket head above ground in a place where date trees grow the shaft of the rocket is clearly stored underground in a man-made silo constructed of tubular segments and decorated with leopard skins very much in the manner of modern draftsman the ancient artists showed a cross-section of the underground silo the rocket contained a number of compartments the lower one shows two men surrounded by curving tubes above them there are three circular panels comparing the size of the rocket head the benben to the size of the two men inside the rocket and the people above the ground it is evident that the rocket head equivalent to the Sumerian mu the celestial chamber could easily hold one or two operators or passengers till moon was the name of the land to which Gilgamesh set his course the name literally meant land of the missiles it was the land where the Shems were raised a land under the authority of ooo to shamash a place where one could see this God rise up to the vault of heavens and though the celestial counterpart of this member of the pantheon of 12 was the Sun we suggest that his name did not mean Sun but was an epithet describing his functions and responsibilities his Sumerian name you too meant he who brilliantly goes in his derivative Akkadian name shemesh was more explicit ashe means fire and we now know what shem originally meant who to shamash was he of the fiery rocket ships he was we suggest the commander of the spaceport of the gods the commanding role of who to shamash in matters have travelled to the heavenly abode of the gods and the functions performed by his subordinates in this connection are brought out in even greater detail in yet another Sumerian tale of a heavenward journey by Immortal the Sumerian king list s-- inform us that the 13th ruler of Kish was eat Anna the one who to heaven ascended this brief statement needed no elaboration for the tale of the mortal king who journeyed up to the highest heavens was well known throughout the ancient Near East and was the subject of numerous seal depictions Itano we are told was designated by the gods to bring mankind the Security and Prosperity that kingship an organized civilization was intended to provide but he Tana it seems could not father a son who could continue the dynasty the only known remedy was a certain plant of birth that II Tana could obtain only by fetching it down from the heavens like Gilgamesh at a later time Etana turned to shamash for permission and assistance as the epic tale unfolds it becomes clear that Eterna was asking shamash for a Shem Oh Lord may it issue from my mouth grant thou me the plant of birth show me the plant of birth remove my handicap produce for me a Shem flattered by prayer and fattened by sacrificial sheep shamash agreed to grant Atanas request to provide him with a Shem but instead of speaking of a Shem shamash told it Tana that an eagle would take him to the desired heavenly place directing etana to the pit where the Eagle had been placed shamash also informed the Eagle ahead of time of the intended mission exchanging cryptic messages with shamash his Lord the Eagle was told a man I will send to thee he will take thy hand lead him hither do whatever he says do as I say arriving at the mountain indicated to him by shamash Etana saw the pit and inside it there the Eagle was at the command of valiant shamash the Eagle entered into communication with Etana once more Etana explained his purpose and destination whereupon the eagle began to instruct aitana on the procedure for raising the eagle from its pit the first two attempts failed but on the third one the eagle was properly raised at daybreak the Eagle announced to eat Anna my friend up to the heaven of on you I will bear thee instructing him how to hold on the Eagle took off and they were aloft rising fast as though reported by a modern astronaut watching earth recede as his rocketship Rises the ancient storyteller describes how earth appeared smaller and smaller to eat Anna when he had borne him aloft one Barrow the Eagle says to him - etana see my friend now the land appears peer at the sea at the sides of the mountain house the land has indeed become a mere hill the wide sea is just like a tub higher and higher the Eagle rose smaller and smaller earth appeared when he had borne him aloft a second burrow the Eagle said my friend cast a glance at how the land appears the land has turned into a furrow the wide sea is just like a breadbasket when he had borne him aloft a third Barrow the Eagle says to him - etana see my friend of a land appears the land has turned into a gardeners ditch and then as they continue to ascend Earth was suddenly out of sight as I glanced around the land had disappeared and upon the wide sea mine eyes could not feast according to one version of this tale the eagle and de Tana did reach the heaven upon you but another version states that etana got cold feet when he could no longer see earth and ordered the eagle to reverse course and plunge down to earth once again we find a biblical parallel to such an unusual report of seeing earth from a great distance above it exalting the Lord Yahweh the prophet Isaiah said of him it is he who sitteth upon the circle of the earth and the inhabitants thereof are insects the tail of Etana informs us that seeking a Shem etana had to communicate with an eagle inside a pit a seal depiction shows a winged tall structure a launch tower above which an eagle flies off what or who was the eagle who took a tana to the distant heavens we cannot help associating the ancient texts with the message beamed to earth in July 1969 by Neil Armstrong commander of the Apollo 11 spacecraft Houston tranquility base here the eagle has landed he was reporting the first landing by man on the moon tranquility base was the site of the landing eagle was the name of the lunar module that separated from the spacecraft and took the two astronauts inside it to the moon and then back to their mother craft when the lunar module first separated to start its own flight in moon orbit the astronauts told Mission Control in Houston the eagle has wings but eagle could also denote the astronauts who manned the spacecraft on the Apollo 11 mission eagle was also the symbol of the astronauts themselves worn as an emblem on their suits just as in the Etana tail they too were Eagles who could fly speak and communicate how would an ancient artist have depicted the pilots of the sky ships of the gods would he have depicted them by some chance as Eagles that is exactly what we have found an Assyrian seal engraving from circa 1500 BC shows two eagle men saluting a Shem numerous depictions of such Eagles the scholars call them bird men have been found most depictions show them flanking the Tree of Life as if to stress that they in their Shems provided the link with the heavenly abode where the bread of life and water of life were to be found indeed the usual depiction of the Eagles showed them holding in one hand the fruit of life and in the other the water of life in Vulcan form with the tales of adop Etana and Gilgamesh the many depictions of the Eagles clearly show that they were not monstrous bird men but anthropomorphic beings wearing costumes or uniforms that gave them the appearance of Eagles the Hittite tale concerning the God telepon ooh who had vanished reported that the great gods and the lesser gods began to search for Telep anew and shamash sent out a swift eagle to find him in the book of Exodus God is reported to have reminded the children of Israel I have carried you upon the wings of eagles and have brought you unto me confirming it seems that the way to reach the divine abode was upon the wings of eagles just as the tail of Etana relates numerous biblical verses as a matter of fact described the deity as a winged being Boas welcomed Ruth into the Judean community as coming under the wings of the God Yahweh the psalmist sought security under the shadow of thy wings and described the descent of the Lord from the heavens he mounted a cherub and went flying he sword upon windy wings analyzing the similarities between the biblical L employed as a title or generic term for the deity and the Canaanite L s Langdon showed that both were depicted in text and on coins as winged gods the Mesopotamian texts invariably present to shamash as the God in charge of the landing place of the shams and of the Eagles and like his subordinates he was sometimes shown wearing the full regalia of an Eagles costume in such a capacity he could grant two kings the privilege of flying on the wings of birds and of rising from the lower heavens to the lofty ones and when he was launched aloft in a fiery rocket it was he who stretched over unknown distances for countless hours appropriately his net was the earth his trap the distant skies the Sumerian terminology for objects it's connected with celestial travel was not limited to the Me's that the gods put on or the muse that were their cone-shaped chariots Sumerian texts describing sipar relate that it had a central part hidden and protected by mighty walls within those walls to the temple of ooh to a house which is like a house of the heavens in an inner courtyard of the temple also protected by high walls stood erected upwards the mighty are pain an object that plows through according to the translators a drawing found at the temple mound of on you at who Rukh depicts such an object we would have been hard put a few decades ago to guess what this object was but now we readily recognize it as a multistage space rocket at the top of which rests the conical MU or command cabin the evidence that the gods of Sumer possessed not just flying chambers for roaming Earth's skies but space going multistage rocket ships also emerges from the examination of texts describing the sacred objects at whose temple at sipar we are told that witnesses at sumers Supreme Court were required to take the oath in an inner courtyard standing by a gateway through which they could see and face three divine objects these were named the golden sphere the cruise cabin the ger and the alloc Marathi a term that literally meant advancer that makes vessel go or what we would call a motor an engine what emerges here is a reference to a three part rocket ship with the cabin or command module at the top end the engines at the bottom end and the ger in the center the latter is a term that has been used extensively in connection with space flight the guards at Gilgamesh encountered at the entrance to the landing place of shamash were called ger men in the temple of Minerva the sacred are most guarded in their area was called the ger su where the ger is sprung up ger it is generally acknowledged was a term used to describe a sharp edged object a close look at the pictorial sign for Gurr provides a better understanding of the terms divine nature for what we see is a long arrow shaped object divided into several parts or compartments that the Mew could hover in earth skies on its own or fly over Earth's lands when attached to a ger or become the command module atop a multi-stage a pen is testimony to the engineering ingenuity of the gods of Sumer the gods of heaven and earth a review of the Sumerian pictographs and ideograms leaves no doubt that whoever drew those signs was familiar with the shapes and purposes of rockets with tales of billowing fire missile like vehicles and celestial cabins the Karger rockets mouth showed a fin equipped ger or rocket inside a shaft like underground enclosure the ash divine abode the chamber or command module of a space vehicle the zeke ascends a command module taking off finally let us look at the pictographic sign for God's in Sumerian the term was a two-syllable word din ger we have already seen what the symbol for ger was a two-stage rocket with fins din the first syllable meant righteous pure bright put together then din ger as gods or divine beings conveyed the meaning the righteous ones of the bright pointed objects or more explicitly the pure ones of the blazing rockets the pictographic sign for din easily brings to mind a powerful jet engines spewing flames from the end part and a front part that is puzzlingly open but the puzzle turns to amazement if we spell den gur by combining the two pictographs the tail of the fin like ger fits perfectly into the opening in the front of the din the astounding result is a picture of a rocket-propelled spaceship with a landing craft docked into it perfectly just as the lunar module was docked with the Apollo 11 spaceship it is indeed a three-stage vehicle with each part fitting neatly into the other the thrust portion containing the engines the midsection containing supplies and equipment and the cylindrical sky chamber housing the people named dinger the gods of antiquity the astronauts of millenia ago can there be any doubt that the ancient peoples and calling their deities gods of heaven and earth meant literally that they were people from elsewhere who had come to Earth from the heavens the evidence thus far submitted regarding the ancient gods in their vehicles should leave no further doubt that they were once indeed living beings of flesh and blood people who literally came down to earth from the heavens even the ancient compilers of the Old Testament who dedicated the Bible to a single God found it necessary to acknowledge the presence upon earth in early times of such divine beings the enigmatic section a horror of translators and theologians alike forms the beginning of chapter 6 of Genesis it is interposed between the review of the spread of mankind through the generations following Adam and the story of the divine disenchantment with mankind that preceded the deluge it states unequivocally that at that time the sons of the Gods saw the daughters of man that they were good and they took them 4 wives of all which they chose the implications of these verses and the parallels to the Sumerian tales of gods and their sons and grandsons and of semi-divine offspring resulting from cohabitation between gods and mortals mount further as we continue to read the biblical verses the Nephilim were a the earth in those days and thereafter - when the sons of the gods cohabited with the daughters of the atom and they bore children unto them they were the mighty ones of eternity the people of the Shem this is not a traditional translation for a long time the expression the Nephilim were upon the earth has been translated as they were giants upon the earth but recent translators recognizing the error have simply resorted to leaving the Hebrew Nephilim intact in the translation the verse the people of the Shem as one could expect had been taken to mean the people who have a name and thus the people of renown but as we have already established the term Shem must be taken in its original meaning a rocket a rocket ship what then does the term Nephilim mean stemming from the Semitic root niffle to be cast down it means exactly what it says it means those who were cast down upon earth contemporary theologians and biblical scholars have tended to avoid the Troublesome verses either by explaining them away allegorically or simply by ignoring them altogether but Jewish writings of the time of the Second Temple did recognize in these verses the echoes of ancient traditions of fallen angels some of the early scholarly works even mentioned the names of these divine beings who fell from heaven and were on earth in those days Shawna's I Shems look out Itza mighty and oozy el God's might malbim a noted Jewish biblical commentator of the 19th century recognized these ancient roots and explained that in ancient times the rulers of countries were the sons of the deities who arrived upon the earth from the heavens and ruled the earth and married wives from among the daughters of man and their offspring included heroes and mighty ones princes and sovereigns these stories malbim said were of the pagan gods sons of the deities who in earliest times fell down from the heavens upon the earth that is why they called themselves Nephilim ie those who fell down irrespective of the theological implications the literal and original
