The beginning of slave masters and religions and corrects false Bible history
Scientology Roots – Chapter One – Advanced Knowledge In Ancient Times
There is quite a bit of archaeological evidence of skilled technologies being employed around the planet, during times when humans were supposed to be lurking in caves and wearing furs or something.
A certain group of Beings openly and freely handed out the correct knowledge about existence to humans in ancient times. These Beings happen to live unlimited, meaning they continually use all of the abilities of a Being as their usual method of living. The data handed out was on different subjects, including advanced masonry (stone work), advanced astronomy, metal working, writing, martial arts, Being abilities, etc.
The correct knowledge about existence had nothing to do with any religion, then or now.
Ancient Advanced Masonry
Massive stones were used to build a platform at Baalbek, Lebanon. Much later in time the Romans built a temple on top of the platform, in 27 BC.
The Sphinx and several large pyramids were built at Giza, Egypt.
The largest pyramid is composed of 2,300,000 blocks of stone, each averaging 2.5 tons.
The interior of the largest pyramid contains passages and rooms.

Easter Island lies 2,000 miles off the coast of Chile.
Easter Island has 250 stone statues that line the coast. They were brought there from a quarry 12 miles away. Some are as high as 33 feet and weigh 82 tons. Abandoned in quarries or along roads are another 637 statues, some 65 feet tall and weighing 270 tons.
The stone is so hard that repeated hammering on it with a steel chisel hardly scratches it. The Easter Island natives had no means for chiseling these rocks, nor for moving them.
The legend of the natives says that flying people came there amidst fire in ancient times.
A civilization suddenly appeared in Mesoamerica that archaeologists named the Olmecs. Olmec ruins date as circa 3100 BC. The starting date of the Olmec calendar is 3113 B.C. They were an advanced civilization preceding the Mayas and Aztecs. Olmec stone statue heads appear in various places in Mexico.
The 24 ton stones were brought from mountains 50 miles away.
Palenque, Mexico has the Temple of Inscriptions pyramid. It contains a burial tomb covered by a 5 ton stone lid. Inscriptions on the walls convince archaeologists that Pacal is buried here. He reigned in Palenque in 615-683 A.D.
The lid of the burial tomb has a depiction on it – an operator of a flying vehicle.
The depiction is framed by celestial bodies and the zodiac constellations.
Egyptian statues that weigh 1,000 tons each. Each carved from a single piece of stone that was brought from Mokattam Mountain, 1500 BC. Called the Colossi of Memnon.
Ramses II statue in Egypt, brought from Mokattam Mt. 370 miles away – 1250 BC.
There are many ancient stonewalls at Cuzco, Peru. The joints are so perfect that you cannot fit a piece of paper between the stones.
The Nesilim had an Empire in Asia Minor (Turkey) from about 2000 to 1200 BC. They were masters of stone, shaping blocks weighing up to 40 tons. In some walls, the masonry was so fine, that it is still impossible to slip a sheet of paper between two stones.

Ancient Advanced Astronomy
The zodiac was made known to humans in ancient times, which is advanced astronomy.
In order to appreciate that it is advanced astronomy, you need to understand what it is.
.
Zodiac – Calendar of the Ages
.
The Earth takes 365 days to make one orbit around the sun. We call that a year. Thus the calendar uses a celestial event to measure time.
The zodiac is a calendar of the Ages. The zodiac uses a celestial event to measure time.
Standing on Earth in the northern hemisphere, and looking at a particular point in space, you would see a particular constellation in the night sky. If you were to watch that point for 25,920 years – you would have seen 12 constellations appearing at that point in space.
Then it repeats, with the same 12 constellations appearing there in the next 25,920 years.
.
Precession and the Zodiac
.
When you watch a top spin you see it start to wobble. That wobble is called precession.
The Earth is a sort of spinning top and it wobbles in its spin.
Precession is a change in the orientation of the Earth’s axis. In other words, the tilt of the earth changes. As a result of this motion, the stars as seen from Earth appear to change position slowly.
The Earth goes through one complete precession cycle in a period of 25,920 years.
The zodiac divides precession into 12 parts. But, it is not divided into 12 equal divisions of time, some of the divisions are longer periods of time than others, as you will soon see.
One pass through the twelve divisions of the zodiac = one cycle of precession.
.
Celestial Sphere
.
The celestial sphere is an imaginary sphere around the earth that is used to determine the position of celestial objects as seen from Earth.
Picture the Earth at the center of the celestial sphere. Project some of Earth’s key geographic features outward into space:
Extend the Earth’s equator outward, thus forming the celestial equator.
.
The Ecliptic – The Apparent Path of the Sun
.
The apparent path of the Sun when viewed from the Earth is called the ecliptic.
If you were to watch the ecliptic all year long, you would see the ecliptic change position in the sky from north to south and then back north again over the period of a full year.
From its highest position in the north, the ecliptic crosses the celestial equator heading south. From its lowest point in the south, the ecliptic crosses the celestial equator heading north.
These 4 points mark the beginning of the 4 seasons – summer, autumn, winter, spring.
The ecliptic at its highest northern point = Summer Solstice
The ecliptic crossing the celestial equator heading south = Autumn Equinox
The ecliptic at its lowest southern point = Winter Solstice
The ecliptic crossing the celestial equator heading north = Spring Equinox
The Summer Solstice occurs about June 22 – it marks the start of summer.
The Autumn Equinox occurs about September 22 – it marks the start of autumn.
The Winter Solstice occurs about December 22 – it marks the start of winter.
The Spring Equinox occurs about March 22 – it marks the start of spring.
The Spring Equinox is also called the Vernal Equinox.
The Vernal Equinox is used in the zodiac. Looking from Earth at the Vernal Equinox – you will see it appears to be in front of or pointing at a constellation at night.
If you were to watch it for 25,920 years, you would see 12 constellations appear there. You would have watched one cycle of precession. Then it would start over again, going through the same 12 constellations as it did before.
The 12 constellations are:
Pisces
Aquarius
Capricorn
Sagittarius
Scorpio
Libra
Virgo
Leo
Cancer
Gemini
Taurus
Aries
Aquarius
Capricorn
Sagittarius
Scorpio
Libra
Virgo
Leo
Cancer
Gemini
Taurus
Aries
The vernal equinox of the northern hemisphere is used to determine the zodiac Age.
Zodiac definition – The 12 constellations against which the sun appears to move during one cycle of precession.
.
Constellations and the Zodiac
.
The word Constellation means a “Story In The Sky”. There are 88 constellations.
The constellation Scorpio is said to be the scorpion sent by a God to kill the hunter Orion.
Each of the constellations in the zodiac has been given an animal name for an imaginary image formed by the stars in the constellation. Zodiac is a Greek word for – animal circle.

The size of each constellation is different and that causes each zodiac Age to be different lengths of time. This picture shows that the size of each constellation is different:
The Age of Aries lasts for 1800 years. The Age of Pisces lasts for 2700 years.
A zodiac Age is the period of time during which the Spring Equinox can be seen against the stars of a particular constellation. We are currently in the Age of Pisces but we will soon be entering the Age of Aquarius.

How would humans in ancient times know about the zodiac, if they were supposedly so uneducated and primitive? They certainly didn't sit around for 25,000 years watching the sky…it’s called MATHEMATICS. This is not basic 1+1 math either – this is advanced math.
There are several celestial observatories constructed in ancient times, for observing the equinoxes and solstices.
The remains at Machu Picchu, Peru date about 4000 B.C.
Machu Picchu is where one of the ancient celestial observatories is located.
The Temple of the Three Windows made possible observation of sunrise on equinox day. A stone column is on the platform. It is an instrument for observing the equinoxes and solstices in the southern hemisphere. Its name is Inti-huatana.
Sacsahuaman overlooks Cuzco, Peru. Sacsahuaman also has a solar observatory. Four openings in the walls point to sunrise and sunset on the winter and summer solstice days in the southern hemisphere.
A stone celestial observatory exists in England, it is called Stonehenge.
Stonehenge is a circle of giant stones, built about 2900 BC. The giant stones are very heavy – the Heel Stone alone weighs 35 tons.
The Heel Stone, or “Sun Stone”, points toward the point in the sky where the sun rises at the summer solstice on June 22nd.
Standing inside the circle, you can see the sun rise above the stone at summer solstice.
—–
Dendera Temple, Egypt – 2550 BC
The Romans built a chapel in the temple at Dendera around 50 BC. There is a zodiac on the ceiling. This tells us that precession and the zodiac was known by humans in 50 BC.
Another case of humans knowing about the zodiac involves the Hindu god called Mitra. Mitra was one of the Hindu solar gods, the Persians called him Mithra. He was popular with the Romans. The Romans used caves for their Mithra meetings, called mithraeum.
A bronze image of Mithra emerging from a zodiac ring was in a mithraeum in England.
Ancient Advanced Weapons
In recent excavations of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, archaeologists discovered skeletons in the cities. People were lying, unburied, in the streets. The streets had clay pots that had melted under intense heat.
One city in northern India near the Rajmahal mountains seems to have been subjected to intense heat. Huge masses of walls and foundations of the ancient city are fused together.
.
Ancient Oddities
.
There are several allegedly non-human skull fossils on display at the museum in Cuzco, Peru.
Amenemhet I was an Egyptian Pharoah from 1991 BC to 1962 BC. He built temples in Thebes.
Polaris is currently the north star. Back at that time,Thuban was the North Star. The earth wobble causes the shift.
Thuban is also known as Alpha Draconis, it is located in the tail of the dragon in the Draco constellation.
Temples Amenemhet I built were oriented towards the star Alpha Draconis. One of the temples in Thebes was referred to as the ‘city of the Dragon’.
These are figurines found in Mesopotamia, dated at about 4,500 BC.
Conclusion
There is more to the history of this planet than just some cavemen running around here who evolved.
Obviously, certain knowledgeable persons have been operating around this planet – all this time.
The people of India have a legend that we are about to enter the Krita, or Age of Truth.
Who says it has not arrived already?
Chapter Two – God Religion in Mesopotamia
This book is a tour of meaningful history, some of which is what we have been told by those who work hard and diligently to obscure and even erase actual history. Working within a subject that has been intentionally booby-trapped has been tricky, and we have had to carefully select data so as to avoid the planted pitfalls.
In our tour we are not talking about meaningless events such as pilgrims eating corn with Indians. The events we have selected are important to know because such knowledge leads to a solution to some adverse world conditions that have plagued humanity for millennia, like wars and economic hardship. These are not natural conditions, they are intentionally created conditions by a handful of psychopaths. An answer to them is an answer to vastly improved living. The first step is knowing who they are and what they have done.
Join me in a journey into their weird and often horrifying past –
* * *
The tour begins with the alleged ancient beginnings of god religions.
Throughout history there has been a small number of ruthless men who sought to rule all mankind. They have caused trouble and needless suffering for the rest of us – wars, economic hardship, etc. These men are the slave masters.
Slave masters and god religions have the same historical background.
In ancient times, the slave masters were the so-called gods, and religion was their tool to make people into subservient slaves.
The slave master god religions initially sprang up in the area around northern India. The ideas spread from there into other parts of the world. Civilization also spread from there and began to appear in Mesopotamia.
Sumer was one of the civilizations that appeared in ancient Mesopotamia.
.
3400 BC – Sumerians began using cuneiform (wedge-shaped writing) on clay tablets.
Pictograms, or drawings representing actual things, were the basis for cuneiform writing. Pictograms resembled the objects they represented. These marks became wedge-shaped (cuneiform), and could convey sounds or concepts.
Writing was done on clay tablets. Hundreds of thousands of clay tablets have been found and are stored in museums. Mesopotamia had a large number of them, Ugarit was a city in Syria that had them, a library of them was found at Nineveh, and a large number were found in Asia Minor.
The University of Pennsylvania museum has hundreds of thousands of these tablets and has even worked to publish a Sumerian dictionary. They have published data on many of the Mesopotamian gods and goddesses. 18
Mesopotamian tablets talk about the Anunna, who were the so-called “gods”.
They were also called Anunnaki. Ki means Earth, Anunnaki means Anunna on Earth.
Although the Sumerians recognized many “gods”, each Sumerian city was more devoted to a particular one of these gods and had a temple erected to house, worship and serve that particular god or goddess. A temple was the abode of a senior Anunna god or goddess. For example, the Sumerian city of Uruk (Biblical Erech) had a temple for the goddess Inanna to live in.
The goddess Inanna had many names – Ashtarte, Ashtoreth, Ishtar, Aphrodite (Greeks), Venus (Romans). The other Anunna gods and goddesses also had multiple names.
Anu was the king of the Anunna. His sons were Enki and Enlil. They competed with each other over who got to be the ruler of Earth.
The initial Mesopotamian god was Enki. En means Lord and ki means earth or below.
Enki means Lord of the Earth, Lord of the below – compared to Anu, Lord above Earth.
Enki was also called Ea, pronounced aya. His temple was in Eridu, first city in Sumer. 1
Some of the major Sumerian gods:
An aka Anu was the Anunna lord living above the earth – “Heaven”.
Enki aka Ea was lord of the below, lord of the Earth.
Enlil was the sky, wind or storm lord. His temple was in Nippur.
Nannar aka Sin, was the moon lord. His temple was in Ur.
Utu aka Shamash was the sun lord. His temple was in Sippar.
Marduk was a son of Enki. His temple was in Babylon.
Inanna was a granddaughter of Enki. Her temple was in Uruk.
There are some other senior gods and goddesses and also junior ones.
The Anunna lived in cities that were located between and around the southern Euphrates and Tigris rivers. That plain between those rivers was called edin, which meant home and living place of the divine ones.
The Anunna leaders lived in temples. E meant abode/house, din meant divine one. Thus e.din meant the home of a lord – which is what a temple was. A garden of edin was the garden of a lord’s temple.
The junior Anunna performed the work, such as tending gardens and livestock in edin. The Anunna had bodies, requiring food and shelter. They were often depicted with wings, indicating they could fly.
Eridu was the first Anunna city in Sumer. Enki had his temple there and he was the supreme lord there. He was the initial leader of the Anunna. He was the creator of all.
In Mesopotamian tablets there is a story called Enki and the World Order. In this story Enki organizes the universe into its present form, the Heavens above and the Earth below.
The Igigi were junior Anunnaki who performed work for the Anunnaki leaders. The Igigi bore the workload such as tilling the ground, digging irrigation ditches, and tending the gardens and livestock. The Igigi revolted over 40 years of day and night toil in the gardens of edin.2
Andrew George, Professor of Babylonian at the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies:
We know from many ancient Mesopotamian sources, in Sumerian and in Akkadian, that the Babylonians believed the purpose of the human race to be the service of the gods. Before mankind’s creation, the myth tells us, the cities of lower Mesopotamia were inhabited by the gods alone and they had to feed and clothe themselves by their own efforts. Under the supervision of Enlil, the lord of the earth, the lesser deities grew and harvested the god’s food, tilled the soil, and most exhaustingly, dug the rivers and waterways that irrigated the fields. Eventually the labor became too much for them and they mutinied. 3
Enki solves the problem by creating man out of clay, giving the clay life by slaughtering the Igigi god We-ila who incited the rebellion and mixing his flesh and blood into the clay, animating it. 2 (An allegory for cross-breeding Anunna with humans.)
The assertion that Enki created humans is called the Eridu Creation Myth. Mesopotamian tablets talk about how the humans roamed with the wild animals, outside of the cities where the Anunna lived. The humans were already there, so Enki did not literally create them. What Enki did to “create them” was to perform a cross-breeding that resulted in a hybrid human being.
The following passages state the condition of the humans.
Upon the Hill of Heaven and Earth
When An had spawned the divine Godlings,
…wheat…and Ewe…
Were unknown…
there was no cloth to wear…
the people of those distant days,
They knew not bread to eat;
They knew not cloth to wear;
They went about with naked limbs in the Land,
And like sheep they ate grass with their mouth,
Drinking water from the ditches. 4

…wheat…and Ewe…

there was no cloth to wear…
the people of those distant days,
They knew not bread to eat;
They knew not cloth to wear;
They went about with naked limbs in the Land,
And like sheep they ate grass with their mouth,
Drinking water from the ditches. 4
The humans lived like animals, not knowing how to grow crops or even make clothes. The Anunna regarded them as savages. Despite their advanced knowledge, the Anunna were not saints – they lied, engaged in extramarital sex, committed incest by having sex with their own children, they raped maidens, seduced mortal men, they even had sex with beasts. They competed for political advantage and slayed each other in wars. 2
The stories about Enki creating the first humans by mixing Anunna blood with “clay” to make a new hybrid human, are referring to a cross-breeding between the Anunna and humans.
Allegedly, the first male hybrid human was named Adamu and the first female was Ti-amat.
The womb of the Anunna women was used to bear the first hybrid humans. Enki then mated with hybrid human females and their children were Adapa and Titi. After that the hybrid humans were able to mate with each other and produce offspring. These hybrids were then partially educated and put to work as servants and slaves for the Anunna.5
The bird-headed female above is given a concoction to absorb into her body, then she is pregnant and gives birth.
Whatever went on there, the Anunna made hybrid humans into their servants/slaves and had them bear the workload. As a result, the humans learn agriculture, keeping livestock, building houses, making clothes, irrigation, metalurgy, fishing, language and writing. 4
The gods then use naked man as a slave to do the work in their gardens in edin. The human slaves also till the ground, tend livestock, and dig irrigation ditches for water. They harvest the crops and serve them to the “gods”. They also serve meat and drink.
Following is an excerpt from a hymn explaining why hybrid humans were created.
the Anunna who assign destinies,
Responded in chorus to Enlil:
In the ‘Flesh-Growing Place’ of Duranki (Nippur),
We are going to slay two divine Alla,
And from their blood give birth to human beings!
The corvee of the gods will be their corvee:
They will fix the boundaries of the fields once and for all,
And take in their hands hoes and baskets,
To benefit the House of the gods,
They will install the irrigation system
To provide water everywhere
And thus make all kinds of plants grow…
Thus they will cultivate the fields of the Anunna 4

Sumerian texts unearthed at the city of Nippur reveal that Inanna, the goddess of Uruk, was called nin-edin-na “the lady of edin” and Inanna-edin-na “Inanna of edin”. Scholars render edin as the plain lying between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The plain was an uncultivated flood plain where wild animals and humans roamed.
A vase found at Uruk shows naked men bringing garden produce to the “Lady of Edin” from her city and temple gardens. 8, 9, 10
The temple in Ur was the abode of the Anunna moon god, Nannar.
Enki was also called Ea. In Sumerian language – the E means house and A means water.
His temple in Eridu was built near a swamp with snakes. Thus Enki/Ea is associated with water and snakes, one symbol for him is a serpent, often wrapped around a pole. 1, 2, 12
Enki was the keeper and guardian of Anunna knowledge. Enki was:
bel naqbi – lord of the Spring
bel uzni – lord of wisdom
mash.mash ilani – incantation specialist of the gods
ban kullat – creator of everything
Enki, along with the goddess Ninmah, is the Creator of Humankind. He is a magician.13
* * *
Mesopotamian tablets talk about the Anunna having the food of life and the water of life which gave them immortality. The tree of life bears fruit that gives immortality. It was at Eridu where the “food of life and water of life reposes” in the care of Enki.
Adapa was a hybrid human who served Enki at Eridu. Adapa in his role as a servant-priest for Enki, caught and served fish, and he baked bread, while other humans were digging ditches for water and tending gardens and livestock. Excavations at Eridu have unearthed the shrine and near it a bread oven, within the shrine were found fish bone offerings, and nearby a canal and irrigation ditches for the fields of barley and wheat.
The story of Adapa in Mesopotamian tablets is called, Adapa and the South Wind Myth. In this story Adapa learns magic incantations from Enki and used them to break the wing of the south wind god, thus stopping sea breezes from reaching Mesopotamia.
The king of the Anunna is Anu, who does not reside on Earth, he resides on another planet, the so-called “heaven”. King Anu becomes upset when he hears that Adapa has learned powerful incantations to use against the gods. It was forbidden knowledge for humans to have.
King Anu summoned Adapa to his heavenly abode. Anu wants to find out where Adapa obtained this forbidden knowledge. He learns that Adapa was taught the spells by Enki. However, instead of deciding to punish Adapa, he concludes that if this man has a god’s “forbidden knowledge” he might as well be made a full-fledged god with immortality. So he summons “bread and water of life” to be given to Adapa to make him and mankind immortal.
But Adapa refuses to consume these items because his god, Enki, forewarned him these items were the “bread and water of death” and he would die if he consumed them. Enki was willing to give humans some knowledge but not all knowledge and not immortality. 2, 12, 14
There is evidence that DNA was known about in ancient times. Here is what DNA is:
In the nucleus of a cell are structures called chromosomes. Inside the chromosomes are strands called DNA.
Chromosomes
DNA strand
DNA is divided into sections called genes. A gene is a section of the DNA. The DNA is made of many genes joined together.
They say that genes relay directions to the cell, telling it what kind of cell to be, how to make proteins out of nutrients, etc. Genes determine the form of plants, animals and humans. That means they determine physical traits that are passed from parents to offspring.
The DNA of all life forms is 99 percent the same. Only 1 percent difference in DNA makes the different species.
The Mesopotamian tablets that talk about the tree of life, are likely a reference to DNA.
In the cross-breeding between Anunna and humans, it looks like Enki denied the hybrid humans any genes that gave immortality. However it was done, Enki denied them immortality.
* * *
Another story in Mesopotamian tablets is this one:
Enki mated with hybrid human females and they bore Adapa and Titi. Adapa mated with Titi and she bore twins, Ka-in and Abael. Ka-in was tutored in agriculture and Abael was taught to tend livestock. At a celebration Ka-in and Abael brought offerings to Enki. Enki praised the lamb offering from Abael, but not the grain offering from Ka-in.
The twins quarreled all winter about whose contribution was better. When summer began, Abael drove his flocks into the fields of Ka-in. Ka-in was angered and the twins fought until Ka-in killed Abael with a stone. Ka-in was then exiled from Edin. 5

3760 BC – There was a decision to install intermediaries (priest/kings) between the Anunna lords and mankind. Mankind is granted kingship. Etana was appointed as the first human King. Kish was the first capital city and Etana ruled from there.
A system developed wherein Oracle Priests, Oracle Priestesses, and Priest-Kings would relay the will of the gods to the people. This was a tactic used by kings to subjugate people, claiming to act on orders from the gods. Sometimes they were Anunna orders.
The people would go to Oracles, such as the Oracle of Gaia at Delphi, to receive advice or instruction from the gods and goddesses. Gaia was the Earth mother goddess who had a temple at Delphi in Greece. Pythia was a female serpent/dragon guardian of Gaia.
The oracle stone was in the Holy of Holies in the temple. The stone has a hollow center.
The Pythia was the Oracle Priestess. Pythia would enter the Holy of Holies in the Temple and hand out advice. Pythia sat on a tripod seat that was over a crack in the floor. She sat behind a curtain. The oracle stone was beside her, flanked by two golden eagles. She held laurel leafs and a cauldron of magical spring water into which she gazed. Pythia delivered oracles in a euphoric trance state induced by gas vapors rising from the crack in the floor.
The main characteristic of the oracle stone was its ability to allow direct communication with the gods. 17
Allegedly the people in ancient times called it – the stone that whispers.
A calendar based on accurate knowledge of the solar system came into use at Nippur in 3760 BC. The calendar had the purpose of telling the people when to perform religious observances. This same calendar is still in use today as the Jewish calendar. It was the same 12 month 365 day calendar devised earlier in Peru.
Near Lake Titicaca are the ruins of ancient Tiahuanacu in Peru. The Gate of the Sun is a cut and shaped single stone block that weighs 100 tons. Allegedly, the carvings on the gate represent a twelve-month calendar adding up to 365 days. The figure holds a baton in one hand and lightning in the other hand – the latter being the same symbol for Baal, the god of the mountain at Baalbek, Lebanon. 5
* * *
Later in time, Utanapishtim was the human King of Shuruppak, which was located a little north of Ur near the Euphrates River. King Utanapishtim worshipped Enki. 12
In an Assembly of the Gods, Enlil stated that the humans were complaining about the unceasing toil imposed upon them by the gods, without any rest for them. Man’s constant noise and clamor on the earth disturbed “his rest and sleep”.
The Minister of Canals was present at the Assembly. Enlil proposed a flood to kill the humans, which was approved. The plan was to overflow the dikes on the Euphrates River. King Anu had the Assembly members swear an oath of secrecy to not tell the humans about the plan. 2, 15
Enki “gets around” his oath by announcing the flood to a wall of the reed house that Utanapishtim dwells in at Shuruppak.
“Advice to the Reed Wall: Enki opened his mouth and addresed his slave: ” Wall, listen to me! Reed wall, attend to every one of my words. Destroy a house, build a boat. Property? Hate it. Save life. The boat that you build – let its breadth equal its length.”
Utanapishtim hears Enki’s warning through the wall. He tears down his reed house and makes a boat of it, saving his family and livestock. 12
Ninurta, who was one of the Anunna, made the dikes of the Euphrates River overflow.
The flood was continued for six days. On the seventh day the flood water was abated, after most of the humans near Shurrupak were dead.
Enlil became angry when he found out that Utanapishtim and his family had survived the flood. Enki beseeched Enlil not to ever again resort to a flood to control the humans and Enlil agrees to less drastic means. Then Enlil blesses Utanapishtim and his wife, saying they shall live like the gods, and grants them immortality. 15
Note –
Archaeologists found a single flood deposit at Shurrupak which they dated to circa 2900 BC. The flood was a flooding of the Euphrates River based on microscopic analysis of the flood sediments, which revealed freshwater laid silts and clays. 12
One set of Mesopotamian tablets that talks about the flood is – The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh was the human King of Uruk about 2900 BC. The Epic of Gilgamesh was written on 12 clay tablets. The tablets were discovered in 1853 in the library at Nineveh.
Gilgamesh wanted immortality so he goes on a journey to find Utanapishtim.
Some excerpts from the Epic of Gilgamesh, tablet 11:
Utanapishtim spoke to Gilgamesh, saying:
“I will reveal to you, Gilgamesh, a thing that is hidden,
a secret of the gods I will tell you!
Shuruppak, a city that you surely know,
situated on the banks of the Euphrates,
that city was very old, and there were gods inside it.
The hearts of the Great Gods moved them to inflict the Flood.
Their Father Anu uttered the oath (of secrecy),
Valiant Enlil was their Adviser,
Ninurta was their Chamberlain,
Ennugi was their Minister of Canals.
Ea, the Clever Prince(?), was under oath with them
so he repeated their talk to the reed house:
‘Reed house, reed house! Wall, wall!
O man of Shuruppak, son of Ubartutu:
Tear down the house and build a boat!
Spurn possessions and keep alive living beings!
Make all living beings go up into the boat.
The boat which you are to build,
its dimensions must measure equal to each other:
its length must correspond to its width.
Just as dawn began to glow
the carpenter carried his hatchet,
The child carried the pitch,
On the fifth day I laid out her exterior.
I provided it with six decks,
The inside of it I divided into nine (compartments).
I drove plugs (to keep out) water in its middle part.
Whatever I had I loaded on it:
All the living beings that I had I loaded on it,
I had all my kith and kin go up into the boat,
all the beasts and animals of the field and the craftsmen I had go up.
forth went Ninurta and made the dikes overflow.
The Anunnaki lifted up the torches,
setting the land ablaze with their flare.
The… land shattered like a… pot.
The gods were frightened by the Flood,
and retreated, ascending to the heaven of Anu.
The gods were cowering like dogs, crouching by the outer wall.
Ishtar shrieked like a woman in childbirth,
the sweet-voiced Mistress of the Gods wailed:
‘How could I say evil things in the Assembly of the Gods,
ordering a catastrophe to destroy my people!
No sooner have I given birth to my dear people
than they fill the sea like so many fish!’
The gods–those of the Anunnaki–were weeping with her,
the gods humbly sat weeping, sobbing with grief(?),
Six days and seven nights
came the wind and flood, the storm flattening the land.
The sea calmed, fell still, the whirlwind (and) flood stopped up.
I opened a vent and fresh air (daylight!) fell upon the side of my nose.
On Mt. Nimush the boat lodged firm,
Then I sent out everything in all directions and sacrificed (a sheep).
the gods smelled the sweet savor,
and collected like flies over a (sheep) sacrifice.
Just then Enlil arrived.
He saw the boat and became furious,
he was filled with rage at the Igigi gods:
No man was to survive the annihilation!
Ea spoke to Valiant Enlil, saying:
How could you bring about a Flood without consideration
Enlil went up inside the boat
and, grasping my hand, made me go up.
He had my wife go up and kneel by my side.
He touched our forehead and, standing between us, he blessed us:
Previously Utanapishtim was a human being.
But now let Utanapishtim and his wife become like us, the gods! 15, 16

Another story in Mesopotamian tablets –
Enki noticed that the humans all spoke the same language and they were living together in peace with each other. To cause contention between the humans, Enki caused many languages to be spoken. 12
Akkadian language was the common language of practically the entire literary world.
The decision by Enki to introduce different languages was to keep the humans from living in peace with each other and uniting.
A Sumerian tale says –
In those days, the lands of Subur (and) Hamazi,
Harmony-tongued Sumer,
The whole universe, the people in unison
To Enlil in one tongue [spoke].
(Then) Enki, the lord of abundance (whose) commands are trustworthy,
The lord of wisdom, who understands the land,
The leader of the gods,
Changed the speech in their mouths, [brought] contention into it,
Into the speech of man that (until then) had been one.
.
Summary
The Mesopotamian tablets state the following about Enki –
Enki claimed he was the creator of all
Enki “created” the first humans and had them work naked in gardens in edin
Enki gives the first humans some knowledge but denies humans immortality
Enki had Ka-in exiled from the land of edin
Enki warns a human about a river flood, his family and his livestock survive in a boat
Enki causes the single language of mankind to become multiple languages
The first book of the Jewish and Christian bible is called Genesis. One name for their god is Yahweh.
Genesis says:
Yahweh is the creator of all
Yahweh created the first humans and had them work naked in his garden of Eden
Yahweh denies humans immortality
Yahweh exiled Cain from Eden
Yahweh warns a human about a flood, his family and animals survive in a boat
Yahweh causes the single language of mankind to become multiple languages
So, the authors of Genesis just changed the name of Enki to Yahweh. They got the stories from ancient clay tablets, without saying that is where they got the stories from. The clay tablets were written thousands of years before the Jewish and Christian bible was written.
The Anunna were not gods, they were just slavemasters asserting they were gods. There were no gods in ancient times or any other times. The god idea was introduced by the slavemasters, it allows them to rule.
The idea of the Anunna being gods is a hoax. And every god religion is based on these initial clay tablet stories about the Anunna – which means all god religions are a hoax.

In the eyes of the Anunna, the so-called lords/gods, humans were as dirt under their feet, their only use was as servants/slaves to the Anunna. He was to serve them and fear them – and subordinate himself to their will. It is an attitude that is still used today by the modern era slavemasters, who call themselves Brothers of Light, and say they are doing gods’s work. They are right in their claim to be doing “god’s work” – that work always was and still is, to make all men into their slaves.
