HISTORY CHRISTIANITY AND ANCIENT TEXTS

The Bible, Moses, Sumerian, Enuma Elish, Gilamesh Epics

Our story didn't begin or end within the pages of a book that is merely 6,000 years old. However there are writings that came thousands of years before the unsubstantiated bible. Such as The Gilamesh Epics, The Enuma Elish, Atra Hasis, Tablets of Tammuz and Ishthar, Adafa and Etana.

Tama-Reyeaat 'Egyptian' also had a series of manuscripts, books and scrolls recorded on Papyrus. These scrolls are: Amuduat, Book of Caverns, Book of the Celestial Cow, Book of The Day, Book of The Dead, Book of the Earth, Book of Fates, Book of the Hidden, Book of Overthrowing Apep, Book of the Netherworld, Litany of Re, Coffin Texts and Pyramid Texts.

Yet scholars don't want to acknowledge these facts because it predates their bible and they have no explanation as to why The Gilgamesh Epics give an account of a flood that happened thousands of years before the bible story of Noah. To make further comparison between the Gilgamesh Epics and the Bible is the story Of Moses. In a book entitled "Chariots Of The Gods", it states and I quote:

"Moses Heard The Voice Of His Lord, But He Never Saw Him Face To Face. When He asked him To Show Himself To Him On One Occasion, His "God" Answered: "Thou Can Not See My Face: For There Shall No Man See Me And Live. And The Lord Said, Behold, There Is A Place By Me, And Thou Shall Stand Upon A Rock: And It Shall Come To Pass, While I Pass By: And I Will Take Away Mine Had, And Thou Shall See My Back Parts: But My Face Shall Not Be Seen" (Exodus 33:20-23).

There are some astonishing similarities in old Texts. On the fifth tablet of the Epic of Gilgamesh, which is of Sumerian origin and much older than the bible, we find virtually the same sentence: "No Mortal Came To The Mountain Where The Gods Dwell. He Who Looks The Gods In The Face Must Die." Moses is supposed to have been brought up in the Egyptian royal household. Perhaps he had access to the library or acquired knowledge of ancient secrets during those Years. " Erich Von Daniken even suggests that Moses got his stories out of books from the great libraries in Egypt. The authenticity of the holy books that have people spellbound is being questioned over and Over again.

This four-sided object, pierced vertically so that it could be rotated if mounted on a frame, is named after the man who gave it to the Museum. It is written in the Sumerian language in the cuneiform (wedge-shaped) script used in ancient Babylonia (southern Iraq). It was written in the city of Larsa to record the rulers of the region from 3200-1800 BCE, ('The Sumerian King-list'). It is a work of literature, not of history, as we would understand it. Famously, this list begins with rulers before 'the Flood', in a way very similar to the genealogies of Genesis 5. Then it says

"The Flood swept over the land. After the Flood had swept the land and kingship had descended from heaven for a second time, Kish became the seat of kingship." Source Ashmolean Museum Oxford.

In Egyptian mythology, Ptah was the chief god of Memphis, who created the Moon, the Sun, and the Earth. One tradition held that he had created all things from mud; another, that he spoke the names of all things and his will created them from his words. Ptah was the patron of artisans and was identified by the Greeks with the god Hephaestos.

His soul, (or alternatively the soul of Osiris) was incarnated in Apis (the sacred bull of Memphis) and believed to have been conceived by lightning on a moonbeam. The Greeks and Romans worshipped Apis as Serapis. Outside the modern village of Mitrahine lie a few traces of the once vast Temple of Ptah (8000 BCE), built to honour the primary deity of Memphis.

Worship of many local gods, mostly depicted as having a human body and an animal head, were replaced by Pharaoh Akhanaten with universal god: Atem who created Shu (Air) and his twin sister Tefnut (Moisture) by self-fertilisation. Shu and Tefnut gave birth to Geb (Earth) and Nut (Sky).

Monumental statues of animals, buildings made of hewn stone (until then only unburnt bricks were used). Harp, flute and double-clarinet, the choir claps rhythmically, as a solitary singer describes the movement of the melody with his hands.
