The Assyrian clay encyclopedia gives us the original version of Genesis. Let me say on e of the original versions, since there was a plenty of them. Nearly a hundred clay tablets tell of the creation of the world and of man according to Sumer. The flying gods made man, for a single reason: they needed hardworkers.
For Sumer, the world begins with an encounter, that of fresh water and salt water. Abzu, the primordial freshwater ocean, is male. It is located within our planet. It unites with a kind of female dragon, Tiamat, the salt water. From their union all the stars and all the planets will be born. A third character, present from the origin, is Moummou, or Mercury.
At the origin of their earthly stay, the terraforming gods revolt against their thankless work. The god Enki, was born from the primordial clay of the Apsû – the body of fresh water in the depths of the earth. He is charged with solving this problem.
Enki / Ea asks her mother, the goddess Inanna / Namma / Ninmah, to shape a man with this same clay. The goddess wets the earth and gives it life: “When you have kneaded the heart of the clay from the banks of the Apsû, this fetus will be given shape. When you have determined its nature, you will fix its fate.
I tell another version of this creation, several details of which are worth mentioning.
The destiny of this creature will therefore be to serve the gods. Enki and the goddess Ninmah give birth to men, but the two divinities, taken from intoxication, previously model seven failed or disabled human beings to whom Enki nevertheless assigns a place in society.
The flying gods came from distant stars to ensure the terraformation of our planet which was wild. If they made the man, it’s so that he works in their place. Another chapter of this genesis according to Sumer is no less interesting, where one learns how the gods Anounnaki, tired of having to do all the work, decide to create a primitive worker.
Thus will be born Homo sapiens: you and me, dear friends. The man … and especially the woman.
This strange genesis has always been understood as an animistic figuration. A hollow dream. A myth. Now there is myth and myth… Ancient myths, old legends are the opposite of the current meaning. Contrary to the fabrications of mythomaniacs, these stories are the testament of the Gods: a concordant testimony throughout the world, with disturbing, unpublished accents.
In my opinion, as a mythomaniac mythologist, these stories deserve to be taken seriously. They describe to us the history before history. and they amaze me with the accents of a past that was great, greater than the present and much.
An intense past and steeped in magic; our present is soft and steeped in illusions.
A noble and cruel past; our present no longer has nobility but great is its cruelty.
A past where enlightenment rewarded merits; zombies, we sleep by amassing only the vile metal.
A past where the gods walked among humans; our fake gods oppose each other in iniquitous and fratricidal wars.
The archaeologist and linguist Samuel Noah Kramer published a book called History Begins at Sumer. Civilization in the southeast of modern day Iraq that began developing urban centers in the 5,000s and 4,000s and came to a peak in the 2,000s BCE. Kramer’s book’s title – History Begins at Sumer – was perhaps intentionally provocative.
In the mid-twentieth century, after all, there were Biblical literalists who took Genesis’ creation story at face value, and then there were academics like Eliot who saw Greece as the wellspring of European civilization and didn’t care to go further back than that. By the time Kramer published his book, History Begins at Sumer, however, cuneiform and hieroglyphics had been deciphered for a hundred years, and the archaeology of the 1910s, 20s, and 30s had produced such spellbinding discoveries that it was no longer possible to see Classical Greece as the fountainhead of European civilization, nor the Old Testament somehow standing apart from the literary and theological traditions that existed all around modern day Israel while it was being written.
By the 1950s, for those stouthearted and curious minds who sought to learn more about the roots of European culture, there were more and more road signs and billboards, with more and more arrows pointing back into the literature of the Bronze Age – to Egypt, Anatolia, and most of all, Mesopotamia (source)
Now only the retrograde conservatives pretend to ignore that the Sahara was then a fertile region around the gigantic lake Triton, or that happy Arabia was even more so when thick forests of varied essences covered it all, or that Black Africa had for tens of millennia conquered all the richest lands of the two hemispheres, that its females were warriors and hunters, that these Blacks were 4meter tall giants, and that the oldest civilizations in Europe like the Vikings and the Celts were peaceful and cultured black artists.
Let’s return to Moummou, Tiamat and Abzu. The interesting mix of fresh water and salt water reveals the scope of the message. It should be noted that salt water represents the element fire, through the image of the dragon. It is necessary to mention the presence of Hermes / Mercury.
Would it be disguised scientific notions? One cannot help but think so, indeed. According to our astrophysicists, the primitive soup from which everything comes comes from this mixture of fresh/salt water, or water/fire.
And what about mercury/metal, inactive but essential for the fusion of the two elements? Illustrating the physical notion of catalyst, it is the element without which particle transfers could not occur.
Clay will play the same role in the creation of man. We are therefore dealing with a condensed of previous knowledge, physical and chemical, in a form accessible to the unborn that our ancestors had become.
Could the Sumerians have understood the version without an image? We would doubt it. One thing is certain: the people who followed were more and more stupid.
“Ros uri sal”, says the old alchemic motto. ” The dew burns the salt”, here is the first step of the alchemical Great Work.For Germanists, a great alchemical work is in free download here
The dew, that is to say the fresh water.
“Blessed is he who understands why he works with salt.”
And mercury, too, plays a central role in the alchemical process. Could this premium be the genesis of an operation of “Al-Chymia”? The great art and the search for gold of philosophers? It is highly likely. We know that the science of Atlanteans gave the same importance to alchemy than chemistry, astrology to astronomy, numerology than arithmetic.
The distinction between science and magicOr superstition, both are the derogatory names that awarded this precious gift is recent and is based on a misunderstanding. Over the ages, mankind has lost the use of his right brain, corresponding to the “left side” of the naguals.
“Magical” aspect of reality has dimmed as the diktat of the “right side” was reinforced. This right side priority became an excess with Descartes and his rationalist philosophy.
Only Nietzsche denounced the impasse in which undertook the West. His vision of ancient Greece torn between Nemesis and Hubris, Rule and Intoxication, Apollinian and Dyonisiac, opens heads as well as hearts. It already fascinated me when I was 18 years old.
Greek mythology lends itself well to read alchemical: Cronus devours all the children that he gave his wife Rhea. But when Zeus was about to be born, Rhea wants to avoid the fate of his brothers and he took a stone, it gives Cronus swallow who believes his son and Zeus was saved.
Later, Zeus, through deception, made his father Cronus absorbing a drug.
And Cronus vomitted the children he has devoured.
Just transpose the names: Cronos (Saturn = lead) absorbs a metal of the same appearance that his son Zeus (Jupiter = tin) and this metal is a powerful emetic, antimony or Agarhos also called Abaddi stone.
Other authors have highlighted the alchemical recipes hidden in the stories of Greek mythology. In 1542, Giovanni Bracesco explains in detail how the ancients concealed the various stages of the great work under the veil of poetic fables:
the distillation of gold of philosophers under the transformation of Jupiter into golden rain;
the changes in sulfur of philosophers under the eyes of Argos transformed into peacock’s tail;
the sweetness of the essence and the drinkable gold, under the fable of Orpheus;
the fixation of the elixir, under the transformation into stone by the Gorgon;
the distillation, under the transformation of Jupiter into an eagle raised in the heavens;
the putrefaction and distillation, under the fable of Daedalus and Icarus;
the dissolution of the gold of philosophers, under the branch of gold that grows back when broken;
for mercury water, under the chariot of Phaeton;
under the thick cloud surrounding Jupiter, the pellicle in the coagulation of the elixir;
under the black sails of Theseus, the black pellicles appearing in the calcination of sulfur;” etc.
I close this alchemical parenthesis which undoubtedly works with the Greek version of our distant past, and much less well with Sumerian mythology. As I mention above, my deep conviction is that these so-called fables tell us more or less faithfully the history before history.
These tales are in no way inventions. They are barely found modified in the mythologies of the five continents.
I used two sources: myths and legends of Sumer or elsewhere, on the one hand; my visionary gift, on the other. Do you think it’s delusional? Everyone delusional. I’m no different from anyone.
Ah yes! My peers don’t know that they are delusional. They don’t know that life is a dream. They do not know that one awakens only at the death of the body. Are they my peers, they who bear little resemblance to me?
The Genesis of Eridu is a mythological text in Sumerian, a myth of creation recounting notably a story of Deluge; it is also called the narrative of the Sumerian Deluge.
The fragments of the text were edited, translated and commented in 1981 by Thorkild Jacobsen. This text dates from around 1600 BCE. It deals with the god Enki and his city, Eridu, presented as the oldest of humanity, destroyed by a flood.
Two-thirds of the original work, now lost, dealt with the origins of humanity, such as Atrahasis, in a structure similar to that of biblical Genesis.
