Sumerian Myths Sumerian civilization originated in what is now southern Iraq, just upriver from the mouths of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. "Civilization" in this context means a settled town or city-dwelling people who possess a stable agricultural technology (including domesticated animals) and have developed a hierarchical system of social classes (peasants, laborers, slaves, craftsmen [smiths, masons, carpenters, potters, etc.], farmers, fishermen, merchants, doctors, architects, priests and temple attendants, bureaucrats, scribes, advisers, priest-kings). Since the climate of southern Iraq is hot and dry, agriculture requires an extensive irrigation system of canals and dikes. Often, the Sumerians wrote as if their civilization (agricultural techniques, cities, classes of people) came first, and people later. (Why do you think they thought this way?)

SUMMERIAN The Legendary Origins of Merlin the Magician Most people today have heard of Merlin the Magician, as his name has been popularized over the centuries and his story has been dramatized in numerous novels, films, and television programs.

Translation of the Sumerian Cuneiform - KHARSAG - HEAD ENCLOSURE - Barton 1914 - Hilprecht - Poebel - Babylonian Text Translation of the Sumerian CuneiformExtract from The Genius of the Few by Christian and Barbara Joy O'Brien - Page 37 - 39 The Anannage, therefore, were the Sumerian equivalents of the biblical Angels. Only after they had disappeared from the Middle Eastern scene were they worshipped in the religious sense; and they were then so enveloped in supernatural trappings that their intrinsic characteristics were swamped in a morass of pseudo-religious adulation. Before the advent of Semitic influence, the Sumerians had no shrines, and built no temples. One of the first temples to be built by the Semites was dedicated to Enlil at Nippur (home of our tablets) by the early king, Naram-Sin, of the dynasty of Agade which was Amoritic in origin. In due course we shall suggest that the Anannage, having left Kharsag millenia earlier, departed from Sumer because of the first incursions of Amorites from the Syrian Highlands. The general sense of these lines is clear, but the detail is open to comment.

The Norse Mythology Blog | Articles & Interviews on Myth & Relgion The Clones of Enki Article by J.R. Jochmans — from “Forgotten Ages” (Winter 1979 issue); reprinted in Journal of Borderland Research (Vol. 35, No. 4, July – August 1979), with comment by Riley Crabb Was there Genetic Engineering in ancient times? In the Sanskrit text known as the Samara Sutradhara, we find mention of the use of two biological weapons, each of which produced its own results: the Samhara debilitated its victims by attacking the motor center of the brain; and the Moha caused blockage of nerve impulses, resulting in complete paralysis. What these descriptions imply is that the ancients once actively created and produced strains of microbes — much in the same way many modern governments are secretly conducting research to find new and deadly forms of microbes for military purposes. Just how far the ancients took their experiments may be found in an enigma that still affects mankind today — the Virus.

It is not surprising that they came from Phoenicia." - Sir Godfrey Higgins The ancient Druids in Ireland and Culdee priests of Iona had called their priests by the name of the Coarbs. They were from the same stock of priests who both wore a white dress, and followed the God Io (Jehovah or Yahweh).

Salem: Witchcraft Hysteria@nationalgeographic.com Salem’s time to kill—all the more tragic for its theological roots—claimed 25 lives. Nineteen “witches” were hanged at Gallows Hill in 1692, and one defendant, Giles Cory, was tortured to death for refusing to enter a plea at his trial.
