Common theme (3)-how were 1st humans created
|
|
| |
The earliest texts of humanity are clear and unequivocal regarding the artificial creation of the humans by multi-gods via the use of advanced knowledge. Even the
sanitized Biblical versions of the Catholic Church and Jewish Rabbinic faith allude to the “artificial” creation of humans. |
|
| |
However, there still exists a substantial difference between the most ancient accounts of creation and those of the Middle East and Genesis systems of belief. |

Key steps in creating biological workforce |
|
| |
There is one issue relating to genetic workforce- that is the question of internal knowledge. 200,000+ years ago, hominids were nothing more than smart apes. To train such apes to perform and even to behave would take considerable time. Further, their ability to perform careful duties, remember instructions would be limited ( as evidenced by endless studies of chimpanzees in captivity). |

The slaying of rebellious God to mix DNA
|
|
| |
Ea answered with carefully chosen words, completing the plan for the god’s comfort. he said to Marduk, “let one of the kindred be taken; only one need die for the new creation. bring the gods together in the Great Assembly; there let the guilty die, so the rest may live.” Marduk called the Great Gods to the Synod; he presided courteously, he gave the instructions and all of them listened with grave attention.
The king speaks to the rebel gods, “declare on your oath if ever before you spoke the truth, who instigated rebellion? Who stirred up Tiamat? Who led the battle? let the instigator of war be handed over; guilt and retribuiton are on him, and peace will be yours forever.
The Great Gods answered the Lord of the Universe, the king and counsellor of gods. “It was Kingu who instigated rebellion, he strirred up that sea of bitterness and let the battle for her.” They declared him guilty, they bound and held him down in front of Ea, they cut his arteries and from his body they created man; and Ea imposed his servitude.
Enuma Elish

Let him be formed out of clay, be animated with blood
Enki opened his mouth
Saying to the great gods
“On the.. and ..of the month
The purification of the land
Let them slay one god,
And let the gods be purified in the judgement
With his flesh and his blood
Let Ninhursag mix clay
God and man
Shall.. therein.. in the clay
Old Babylonian Text (1750-1550 BCE) |
|

What else shall we create?
The great gods who were present,
The Annunuki, who fixed the detinieis,
Both groups of them made answer to Enlil;
In Uzumua, the bond of heaven and earth
Let us slay the Lamga gods
With their blood let us create mankind;
Assyrian version of creation (1100 BCE) |

There is something profound and deep seated in this passage of the Enuma Elish. By considering an essential truth, we must consider that within us, carried within our basic DNA seed is the base memory- of a God, of a high alien from another solar system. Secondly, this alien was no less than a leader, called Kingu ( very similar to King), that died so that we may live.
|
|
| |
This is not an unfamiliar story when considering the most important and powerful myths and symbolism to humanity for contained within these implications is an underlying explanation of human features since the identification of the earliest settlements. In many parts of the world, the King has been sacrificed for the benefit of the many, over an over again. The symbolism is unmistakable. The ritual of Jesus Christ is by definition a re-enactment of such a ritual. |
|
| |
Therefore, such is the power of this symbolism to our very origin that something within us must call back to the very beginnings- the knowledge of this ancestor and sacrificial parent. |

Common themes of genetic creation |
|
| |
....God had not caused it to rain upon the earth and there was no man to till the ground; but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground, then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Genesis (600 BCE) |
|
| |
...They kissed her feet,
Saying “The creatress of mankind we call thee;
The mistress of all the gods be thy name
They went to the House of Fate
Niniguku-Ea and the wise Mama
Fourteen mother wombs were assembled
To tread upon the clay before her
Ea says, as he recites the incantation
Sitting before her, Ea causes her to recite the incantation
mama recited the incantation; when she completed her incantation,
...she drew upon her clay.
Fourteen pieces she pinched off; seven pieces she placed on the right, Seven pieces she placed on the left; between them she placed a brock.
Ea was kneeling on the matting; he opened its navel;
he called the wise wives.
Of the seven and seven mother wombs, seven brought forth males, seven brought forth females.
The Mother-Womb, the creatress of destiny.
In pairs she completed them,
In pairs she completed before her.
The forms of the people mami forms.
