THE REAL HISTORY OF CIRCUMCISION

We people follow so many traditional rituals without questioning. People think that if it was done before it should be done today too... But wouldn’t you like to know the reality behind those rituals?

In my review today I will try explaining where circumcision comes from? Actually I didn’t search for it on purpose but while reading the book The Lost Book of Enki, everything was clear immediately.

You know the book which was based on the Sumerian tablets explain the history of humanity and how we were created. As the Anunnaki created the first human in their image, the first Homo Sapiens which was called “Adamu”, they found out that there was a difference. That difference was in the “malehood” of Adamu. It is explained in the book with those words:

“They looked at his malehood: Odd was its shape, by a skin was its forepart surrounded,

Unlike that of Anunnaki malehood it was, a skin from its forepart was hanging!

Let the Earthling from us Anunnaki by this foreskin be distinguished! So was Enki saying.”

So it is clear that the human males’ genital organ has a slight difference that those Anunnaki male. (The Lost Book of Enki)

The basis for Jews to circumcise is found in the bible (Genesis 17, 10-14): "This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; every man child among you shall be circumcised".

Circumcision symbolizes the ties between the Jews and the God for the Jews. And I believe, by circumcising they tried fulfilling their ambition to look like the God in the past because for the ancient people the gods were visible and they knew their look like. The Anunnaki were the gods for those ancient people. So the circumcision is one of the ambitions in peoples’ reaching or looking like the God or gods! Later on that tradition passed on the Muslims too. But I am sure neither Jews nor the Muslims know the real history behind it today. And I am sure they would never accept it...

Maybe circumcision can be named as the endeavour to correct the mistake which was done in creating the perfect man, the perfect human by Enki.

THE ORIGIN OF SUNDAY HOLIDAY IS ENKI

We know from the creation stories that the universe was created in seven days. In Genesis we read about the deeds of the God during the six days and then he rests on the seventh day. 

"By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested [or ceased] from all the work of creating that He had done." (Genesis 2:2-3)

Have you ever thought about the origin of that belief? Do you really believe that the God stood somewhere and created with his hands or with some tools the universe each day? First the sun, then the planets and then the creatures… Of course not! Every myth has a real, plausible origin. Within centuries it changes by oral or written transmissions and then it turns into a myth or a belief. However that seven days of creation myth has also an origin, a real one. I will go on my analysis on The Lost Book of Enki where we find the answer to that myth also. What we read in the sacred books is just false copies of the real events that took place thousands of years ago.

That is the story as Sitchin tells according to his translations from the Sumerian tablets: Enki landed on Earth hundreds of thousand years ago with the aim of finding gold to save the atmosphere of their planet Nibiru. As he arrived he started immediately setting up an encampment on Earth with his 50 men who travelled with him. That place was called Eridu which means “Home in the Faraway”. The building works took 6 days in total and the seventh day was chosen as “the day of rest”. 

Separation of the waters

On the second day on Earth Enki (Ea) decided to separate waters from waters. That was the work done to find drinkable waters: 

"By daybreak Ea the ongoings considered; to separate waters from waters heed he was giving.

Engur he made of the sweet waters the master, drinking waters to provide." (The Lost Book of Enki)

In Genesis we read so: 

"Then God said, "Let there be a canopy between bodies of water, separating bodies of water from bodies of water!" So God made a canopy that separated the water beneath the canopy from the water above it. And that is what happened: God called the canopy "sky.' The twilight and the dawn were the second day” (Genesis)

And the third day was chosen to differentiate the plants: 

"And it was evening and it was morning, the second day on Earth it was.
When the Sun morning announced, the heroes their assigned tasks were performing.
With Alalu Ea to the place of grass and trees his steps directed,
All that in the orchard grows, herbs and fruits after their kind to examine.” (The Lost Book of Enki)

On the fifth day "Enki gave words, in the marshlands to make a barrier;
With canebrakes and green reeds an enclosure to fashion, Fish from fish there separate,
A trap for carp that from a net could not escape,
A place whose snare no bird that is good for food could escape.
Thus were fish and fowl, by their good kinds separated, for the heroes provided." (The Lost Book of Enki)

And in Genesis there is a reference also to the sea creatures on the fifth day. Are they just coincidence? 

The Fifth Day

"Great numbers of birds and sea creatures. God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." (Genesis 1:20-23)

The works went on till the sixth day: 

“On the sixth day Ea of the orchard's creatures took account.
Enursag to the task he assigned, that which creeps and that which on feet walks to distinguish;
Their kinds Enursag astounded, of the ferocity of their wildness to Ea an account he gave.” (The Lost Book of Enki)

Resting day

But the most astonishing is the words of Enki about the seventh day: 

“On the seventh day, the heroes in the encampment were assembled,
To them Ea spoke these words:
A hazardous journey we have undertaken, from Nibiru to the seventh planet a dangerous way we traversed.
At Earth we with success arrived, much good we attained, an encampment we established.
Let this day be a day of rest; the seventh day hereafter a day of resting always to be!” (The Lost Book of Enki)

As you see that seven days story isn’t about the creation of the universe but about the creation of the first settlement on Earth by the Nibirians. Since they were on a new planet actually it might be taken as the creation of a new planet or even universe. Since all the sacred books were based on the Sumerian tablets as we read on the other samples before in my blog, we can conclude that they took that story also from the Sumerian tablets but transmitted it wrongly unfortunately. So “the Sunday holiday” comes from Enki’s (the so called God of the Sumerian) decision that was taken hundreds of thousands years ago.

ENDUBSAR, IT IS JUST A FOUNTAIN PEN!

I started reading The Lost Book of Enki (by Zecharia Sitchin) today. But by the time I read the first chapter, I was shocked enough once more to see how naïve the people in the past were. Because of the lack of technology and knowledge, they misinterpreted the aliens as gods. And we still suffer because of their naivety (I prefer using that soft word). I decided to analyze the chapters one by one after reading. I want to start with some interesting points that will leave you also astonished.

For those who don’t know, the book includes the biography of the god Enki. The entire story which was written on 14 tablets was told by Enki himself and was written by a scribe called Endubsar who was appointed by Enki.

However the oath by Endubsar at the beginning is really absurd to read in our day. Even without my analyze you will be able to see that after reading his words: “I was among the remnants of Eridu who had escaped to the arid steppe just as the Evil Wind was nearing the city… And I looked up and to and behold, a Whirlwind came out of the south. There was a reddish brilliance about it and it made no sound. And as it reached the ground, four straight feet spread out from its belly and the brilliance disappeared. And I threw myself to the ground and prostrated myself, for I knew that it was a divine vision…”

After reading those sentences, I could just say poor Endubsar! It is so clear that he saw a flying object which had lights and smoke around. And its four feet were opened as it landed and the lights were turned off.

He then says “And when I lifted my eyes, there were two divine emissaries standing near me.” And here he thinks that those aliens whom he saw were the messengers of the god, the so called angels.

He is taken then to the plane to be brought to a place where he will write the biography of Enki. He stays there 40 days and 40 nights. Enki says the number “40” is important because it symbolizes his rank among the Anunnaki gods. It is interesting to read that because in many cultures especially in Muslim culture that tradition still goes on. A baby cannot be taken out before he/she is 40 days old or there are weddings which take place 40 days and nights long.

The poor Endubsar is left in a room which he describes as hell as the day although there are no windows and doors. He sees “a divine light” that enlightens the table where he will work. He cannot understand that it is just electric bulb. And I will finish the analysis for today with the incident which I found the most interesting because it proves how those people’s misunderstandings about even little objects (as divine) causes us to suffer under religions today…

After reading Endubsar’s those words (And I see a stylus as I have never seen before, its stem unlike any reed and its tip shaped like an eagle’s talon), I just wanted to invent a time machine, go there and tell him: “Endubsar, my friend, it is just a fountain pen”.

THE ORIGIN OF THE FLOOD

Flood is like a trauma for all of the nations in the history. It is mentioned in the stories or in the sacred books. We read in the sacred books how a man called Noah and his family were saved from the flood with the help of the “God”. Everybody in the world has a basic knowledge about that story: Noah gets informed about the coming catastrophe; he builds a ship and then sails away on the day of the flood and so on.

Religious people believe in that story without questioning because it is written in their sacred books. It is written in the Bible and in the Quran. A passage from the Old Testament about the flood story:

“Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.  You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth. For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.” (Genesis)

And let’s look at the Quran:

“It was revealed to Noah: “None of your People will believe except those who have believed already! So grieve no longer over their (evil) deeds. But construct an Ark under Our eyes and Our inspiration, and address Me no (further) on behalf of those who are in sin: for they are about to be overwhelmed in the Flood.” (Quran)

In principle it is the same story although there are little differences. However it is not the flood story itself that we will discuss here but its origin. On the contrary to the believes, the flood story wasn't told first by the God of the Jews or Muslim. That story dates much earlier in the history. The Bible isn’t the first source where we read that story. It is firstly mentioned in a Sumerian epic called Gilgamesh which dates back to somewhere between 2750 and 2500 BC (That is the date when Gilgamesh, a king, was supposed to have lived). Now let’s analyze the story together. 

Gilgamesh who searches for immortality arrives at a place at the mouth of rivers where he meets a man called Utnapishtim. Utnapishtim is one of Gilgamesh’s ancestors and he was given the eternal life by the God Enki. Here Utnapishtim takes the role of Noah. He says to Gilgamesh that he will reveal something hidden, a secret of the gods to him:

"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.” (Epic of Gilgamesh)

Here he reveals to Gilgamesh that there was a flood in the past. And then he goes on telling what happened later:

“Ea (Enki), the Clever Prince(?), was under oath with them (Anu, Enlil, Ninurta and Ennugi)
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!” (Epic of Gilgamesh)

A man in the city of Shuruppak (Utnapishtim) was informed by the God Enki secretly. The other gods had decided to bring the flood and destroy the mankind but they wanted it to be kept secret. However, Enki, the “father” of the mankind doesn’t approve it. He secretly informs Utnapishtim and tells him to build a boat. Till here everything is almost same with biblical stories. A man is informed by the God and builds a boat. What about the living beings? The story goes on like that:

“Abandon wealth and seek living beings!
Spurn possessions and keep alive living beings!
Make all living beings go up into the boat.” (Epic of Gilgamesh)

He is ordered to get the living beings into the boat as well. However Utnapishtim is worried. He asks Enki what he should tell the others in the city if they ask why he builds a boat. That is Enki’s answer:

“You, well then, this is what you must say to them:
"It appears that Enlil is rejecting me
so I cannot reside in your city,
nor set foot on Enlil's earth.
I will go down to the Apsu to live with my lord, Ea,
and upon you he will rain down abundance,
a profusion of fowl, myriad fishes.
He will bring to you a harvest of wealth,
in the morning he will let loaves of bread shower down,
and in the evening a rain of wheat!" (Epic of Gilgamesh)

He lies to the people in the city. He gives them false hopes. We read the same kind of story in the Bible too:

“For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away…” (Matthew 24:37-39)

How to build the boat?

 As it is clear from the both texts, the other people except Noah/Utnapishtim don’t know anything about what will happen. In both Bible and Gilgamesh we read also about the construction orders:

“And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.“ (Bible)

“…Its walls were each 10 times 12 cubits in height,
the sides of its top were of equal length, 10 times It cubits each.
I laid out its (interior) structure and drew a picture of it (?).
I provided it with six decks,
thus dividing it into seven (levels).
The inside of it I divided into nine (compartments).
I drove plugs (to keep out) water in its middle part.
I saw to the punting poles and laid in what was necessary…”  (Epic of Gilgamesh)

The boat was finished by sunset and the next morning the heavy rains start with the order of the gods…

“All day long the South Wind blew ...,
blowing fast, submerging the mountain in water,
overwhelming the people like an attack.
No one could see his fellow,
they could not recognize each other in the torrent.
The gods were frightened by the Flood,
and retreated, ascending to the heaven of Anu.” (Epic of Gilgamesh)

“So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth. And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs, so the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed.” (Quran)

“And, behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.” (Genesis 6:17)

However the gods are very sad about their deeds:

“The gods--those of the Anunnaki--were weeping with her (Isthar),
the gods humbly sat weeping, sobbing with grief(?),
their lips burning, parched with thirst.
Six days and seven nights
came the wind and flood, the storm flattening the land.
When the seventh day arrived, the storm was pounding,
the flood was a war--struggling with itself like a woman
writhing (in labor).” (Epic of Gilgamesh)

What is striking above is the duration of the flood. Compare it please with the text from the Bible below:

“And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.”

Mount and the dove

In the epic of Gilgamesh the boat lodges in the Mt. Nimush and in the other stories we know as the Mount Ararat.

And the seventh day in the boat. Utnapishtim says “I sent forth a dove and released it.”  

And that is from the Genesis: 

“Noah opened the window of the ark… and… He… sent out…a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground”

You can read the whole text about the flood in the epic of Gilgamesh in the eleventh tablet of the epic. So do you still believe these are all just coincidence? Or are the stories told in the sacred books just copies of the previous stories form the ancient cultures? What does it mean then? Can it be that what is told to be the words of the God actually not the words of it?
