The Sumerian traditionSee Les tablettes assyriennes has strongly influenced the writers of the biblical Genesis. We can see identically in it, the myth of Noah and his ark.See Noé, son arche et l'arc

After having created us,See La création des hommes the gods wanted to destroy humankindSee La beauté de Pandora through floods.See Le grand cataclysme Men had indeed multiplied to such an extent that they were making too much noise, disturbing the gods.

Namtar, the god of death and plague, was for example in charge of unleashing a disease upon men. But  Enki,Ancient Greeks called him Prométhée the god creator of men, managed to save them.

The gods sent other calamities, but men were protected.

Enki Helped Men

Enlil, son of Enki, was jealous of the men, creatures of his father. He decided that a universal flood would drown all mankind. Then Enki appeared in dreams to a human, Atrahasis,Also called Utnapishtim. Click + and gave him his instructions. (We already know them: « Build an ark soon, embark animals couples, and all your people », old story). So Atrahasis did what Enki had requested. He built a large boat, embarked birds and livestock. (Some pure animals and some which are not pure, some birds and everything that creeps on the ground - Genesis 7:8)

Atrahasis also embarked in the ark members of his clan. (Come, you and your whole family in the ark - Genesis 7:1) Then a heavy rain began to fall continuously. And then, first variant: the 40 days and 40 nights of the Bible have shrunk in the wash. No wonder, with all this water! « After seven days and seven nights, the storm subsided. Atrahasis left the boat and made offerings to the gods who were hungry. Enlil, enraged, noted that men had survived the flood. » (source)

A Subtle Change In Human Program

Enki suggested a compromise: humans will not multiply so fast anymore.

Diseases will decimate a third of them. Constantly, in the Sumerian version of our creation, we can see genetic manipulations involve to restrain us, lessen us, limit us in many ways.

`It is possible that the advances in genetics allow to correct these changes of our genome.

In his venture of degradation of his creature, Enki added an obstacle which is probably not genetic: the deliveries. They became painful (Eve gave birth in pain), and dangerous for both mother and child. This seems to allude to the large size of children. The gods had reproduced with humans,See le sexe des anges giving birth to a race of giantsSee L'empreinte des géants King Gilgamesh,See page who told us this story, was a giant indeed. In his opposite portrait, we can judge of his proportions and his strength by the size of the lion he strangled in his arms, with no apparent effort.

A Giant King of Men

If you believe this portrait, GilgameshClick + had to measure between 27 and 36 feet high. A giant thirty-six feet high, that's great. For your information, here is the skeleton that could match the size of Gilgamesh. Make no mistake, this skeleton is not his, it is just an editing. In this field as in others, some people go very far in the art of hoax.See La fin des orques and find stronger prooves That still gives an idea of the size that would have the skeleton of a giant 36 feet high ...

The similarities between the story of Atrahasis and that of Noah are too numerous to be the result of chance. Atrahasis is the original version of the biblical myth, as the Sumerian version is much clearer than its Hebrew copy. We feel like the Bible writers have copied a story without understanding the real meaning. The Sumerian tablets were detailing the stages of reproductive science,See Sumer, la vraie genèse the Hebrews saw there only fanciful legends.

Cuneiform tablets from Ashurbanipal and his uncle SenacheribGo to page included a much longer history, that of a man called Atra-Haziz. He was warned by the gods that a terrible flood will soon destroyed everything, and he should build a big unsinkable boat ... This time with the ark and the flood of Atra-Haziz, we get probably the original version all others times. The tablet was dated to 4800 BP by the scribe who copied. So the mentionned flood must be quite earlier. There were so many floods anyway!Go to page
