Metaphysical Egypt
Investigative mythologist William Henry returned to share details of his recent trip to Egypt. While touring sites such as the Giza Plateau, Abydos, and Abu Ghurab, the National Geographic Channel filmed Henry and his group for an upcoming TV special that's exploring new angles on the Atlantis legend. From studying ancient texts at the Temple of Edfu in Egypt, Henry learned of "beings of light" who came here from the stars and took on human form. He believes the Edfu tale matches that of the origin of Atlantis as told by Plato, who may have gleaned his source material from this Egyptian text.

Henry shared his investigation of the pyramid at Abu Ghurab, one of the oldest ceremonial centers on the planet. He found extraordinary craftsmanship in a platform, which he suggested may have been a "stargate" designed to heighten spiritual awareness (see photos below). The Abu Ghurab site also matches a description Zecharia Sitchin made for an ancient Annunaki gold processing facility, he reported.

The Great Pyramid at Giza is like a "hologram of the Earth-Moon system," Henry declared, adding that the moon is the missing capstone to the Great Pyramid. He further postulates that Earth's moon is an artificial satellite put into orbit by beings recorded in the texts of ancient Egypt. The ancients, he noted, believed that the moon was a place where souls travel to upon the death of the body.

QUEST FOR MIDDLE EARTH - UNTOLD STORY OF GILGAMESH

Quest for Middle-earth - BOOK TWO - Chapter 19
by Dirk Vander Ploeg







The Epic of Gilgamesh is, perhaps, the oldest written story on Earth. It comes to us from Ancient Sumeria, and was originally written on 12 clay tablets in cunieform script. It is about the adventures of the historical King of Uruk (somewhere between 2750 and 2500 BCE).


The Untold Story of Gilgamesh

The Epic of Gilgamesh is, perhaps, the oldest written story on Earth. It comes to us from Ancient Sumeria, and was originally written on 12 clay tablets in cunieform script. It is about the adventures of the historical King of Uruk (somewhere between 2750 and 2500 BCE).

Archaeologists in Iraq believe they may have found the lost tomb of King Gilgamesh, the hero of the oldest "book" in history. If true, this is an incredible discovery, for Gilgamesh was far more than a man, he was the son of a God! This discovery could tell us much about the hierarchy of the Sumerian Gods, for Gilgamesh was not only a king but also a judge of the Anunnaki!

The tale the Epic of Gilgamesh was discovered, written on twelve clay tablets in cuneiform script. The discovered tablets are now known as the Shin-eqi-unninni tablets and were excavated in 1839 by Austen Henry Layard. In total Layard discovered some twenty-five thousand clay tablets. They were found in the ruins of Nineveh, which was the capital of the Assyrian Empire. Today, the ancient site of Nineveh is part of Mosul, the second largest city in modern Iraq.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is about the adventures of the historical King of Uruk who lived approximately between 2750 and 2500 BCE. Unlike Greek mythology, the hero of The Epic of Gilgamesh was an actual historical figure. When Gilgamesh died his people continued to worship him. In life he was a living God and in death he joined the Parthenon of Sumerian deities. One prayer, of particular interest, invokes him as, "Gilgamesh, supreme king, judge of the Anunnaki". Gilgamesh believed he was two-thirds God and one-third human. His mother was the Goddess Ninsun and his father was the high priest of Kullab.

The Gilgamesh stories are just part of a much larger literary discovery. Versions of which survive not only in Akkadian, a Semitic language related to Hebrew and spoken by the Babylonians, but also on tablets written in Hurrian and Hittite. All these languages were written in the script known as cuneiform, which means, "wedge-shaped.

In The Epic of Gilgamesh we are informed that Gilgamesh did not want to die - ever. Being part God he believed he had the birth right to immorality. He also had knowledge that if he entered into a Holy Land, a forbidden place in the Cedar Mountains of Lebanon, he had an opportunity to gain immortality.

The Tall Cedars of Lebanon seem to have secret or forgotten knowledge associated with them: apparently descendants of the Nephilim believe that the cedars are symbolically significant to their language, and there is a Masonic side degree called the "Tall Cedars of Lebanon".



=================


Another tale of Gilgamesh was translated from the clay tablets. Without the successful translation of this story the twelfth tablet could not have been deciphered. This story was the key! It's called "Gilgamesh and the Huluppu Tree", and it holds the first literary reference to Lilith.
Lilith was Adam's first wife and he insisted that she always lie below him during sex. But she believed that she was equal to Adam and complained to him. When her complaints weren't addressed she sought help from God and was once again ignored, so she flew away. As punishment she was transformed into a demon of the air and is alleged to be responsible for killing infants in their cradles. When she fled the Garden, God sent three angels to bring her back. She didn't want to return to the status quo and disobeyed God. So he had his angels kill 100 of her children daily until she returned.

She was also accused of seducing men in their sleep and forcing them into sex. Apparently, she needed the semen to give birth to more demons.

The reference to Lilith contained in the tale 'Gilgamesh and the Huluppu Tree', is the key to understanding the twelfth tablet where the first twelve lines are almost completely broken away. Without the explanation offered in the 'Huluppu Tree', the twelfth tablet could not be read.
Still another story tells us about Gilgamesh and the Great Flood! According to the story a man named Utnapishtim said to Gilgamesh that he would tell him a secret known only to deities. He asked him if he knew of the city of Shuruppak, on the banks of the Euphrates. It was here, according to Utnapishtim, that the Gods decided to destroy mankind. Ea, a God of the Sumerians had come to his house and warned him about the impending flood and had him build a ship and to bring aboard the ship the seed of all living beings.

Utnapishtim is actually Noah of the Book of Genesis. He answers Ea that he understands and acknowledges that it is a great honor. But he wonders what he is to say to people in the city and to the city council when they ask why he is building a boat? Ea said to tell them that Enlil hates him and that he has to leave and travel to where Apsu and Ea Live. Utnapishtim also mentioned that Enlil will send rain to water their crops after he leaves. He adds that edible birds will fall from the sky, delicious fish will jump from the canals onto the land, and in the evening showers of grain would fall.

The people of the city were so impressed by Utnapishtim's prophecies that they came and helped build the ship. Carpenters, reed-workers, and children carried the pitch and strong men fetched the heavy things.

Supplies had been gathered from far and wide and now it was time to begin to build the frame of the craft. The dimensions were 60 meters long, 60 meters wide and 60 meters high. It was a perfect cube. It was not a boat, as we know them today. The hull was not long and narrow but square. The floor space occupied an entire acre!

It had an upper deck and six lower decks. It was more a passenger liner than a lifeboat. The only question that remains unanswered was who were the passengers?
