Science, archaeology and painstaking research have traced well
developed agriculture, land tenure, accounting, good behaviour
and common law to a technically advanced group, known to the
Sumerians as the Anannage and to the early people of
the Middle East as the Elohim
(Shining countenanced, Lords of the Cultivation), who settled
to farm a fertile basin in the mountains of Southern Lebanon
around 9,300 BC. They have been attributed with the building
of the seven major cities of the Levant:
Kharsag (Eden), Jericho (8000 BC), Ba'albek, Ebla, Catal Huyuk,
Olympus and On, and the later development of the
Sumerian and other City States,
which began around 6000 BC, some three thousand years before
our current detailed knowledge of Egyptian
history. Evidence is now 'reemerging' of their former island
home.

Scholars
of the pictorial Sumerian script (3500 BC), around the turn
of the century, found so much similarity between the Sumerian
and Chinese writing that they conjectured the two
races to be kindred tribes, who once lived together in the highlands
of Central Asia. However genetic analysis, translations of the
earliest writing, cross referenced with later documents, oral
traditions and the additional bio-archaeological evidence, show
that the Elohim played the major role in developing the Sumerian,
Chinese, Egyptian, Indus, Peruvian, Mexican and other
cultures throughout the world and that their influence survives
with us today. We still use thirty two Sumerian words in the
English languages and now find that their precise surveying
methods, triangulation and their standard unit of measurement
were in use all over the world before 700 AD.

Whilst early teaching remained practical, a clear thread runs
from 8,750 BC throughout the world, of what can best be described
as the Unity of Truth, forming
the basis for all subsequent common law, philosophy and religion,
a theme however, that has been corrupted over time. When King
Hammurabi became ruler of Mesopotamia in 1792 BC,
he made a declaration of existing law, by assembling Anu
and Enlil's Elohim decrees,
comprising of some 282 articles and had them 'cast on a stele'
(stone pillar) erected in all the important public places, and
as such, provided the 'common law', one of the major continuities
of Mesopotamian civilization. This was the origin of The
Hammurabi Code. "Let the oppressed man who has a cause
- Come into the presence of my statue - And read carefully my
inscribed stele". Sumerian law gave 'equal'
rights to women and 'false accusers' were regarded and punished
in a similar manner to thieves and murderers.
These
early city state societies and their advanced cultural, technical
and genetic progress were a legacy
of the Elohim. Thus over time, many standards, including
our genetic make up, have declined and are still in decline.
The truth has been taken from us by priests, politicians and
man's fickle nature. Scholars have taken the path of establishing
concepts as truths, that should never have been placed in the
receptive minds of uncritical men. The forces of evil have gained
the upper hand over the forces of good, with the worship of
'sacred untruths' rather than the truth. Around 1500 BC Elohim
war lords Ashur and Yahweh
had played dominant and opposite roles in the 'shaping' of the
subsequent single god culture following devastation of the great
Bronze Age cultures by 'predicted' cyclical meteorite debris/fireball
flux impacts around 2,350 BC.

Assyrian Room.
The
Assyrian King Ashburnapal
(668-625 BC), despite a bad press, had a taste for learning
and antiquities. His finest relic is what survives of the great
collection of tablets 'made' for the library in the fabulous
palace, accredited to Sargon II (721-705 BC) at Khorsabad, near
Ninevah. From these tablets, those from the
Nippur library (2,800 BC) and the quality of earlier
pictorial text, the truth will emerge. Amongst the greatest
relics of this Assyrian cultural legacy, are however, the sculpted
reliefs of the Elohim (ab-kar-llu)
caring for wildlife and farming, from the prominent
private palace room, which can now be seen in all their glory
on display in the British Museum.

modern Abu Sharhrain, in southern Mesopotamia. The main structure,
built of mud brick, stood on a stone-faced platform. This architectural
combination developed, into the ziggurat or temple tower characteristic
of later Mesopotamian cities.
The
Chinese way of thought the 'The Tao'
has been attributed to the 'Yellow' Emperor, Huang Ti, who lived
from 2698 to 2597 BC, but bio-archaeological evidence suggests
the early Elohim presence and the source for this philosophy
emanating through their intensive farming (inc. Kharsag millet)
in the Huanghe and Yangzie river basins before 6,500 BC. The
best known Chinese philosophers were Lao-Tse and Confucius,
whose teachings around 520 BC were based on 'The Tao' philosophy.
The relative stability in the cultural development of China
over 7000 years, provides many clues and unique links to the
Elohim. 'The Tao' is still a pillar of Chinese society. (Words
of Meng-Tzu): "Every man possesses
in himself the four principles of benevolence, justice, propriety
and wisdom, and that man has only to obey the law within himself
in order to be perfect". Plato emphasised soon
afterwards that good people do not need laws and bad people
break them away. (Words from I Ching - Book of Changes): "The
superior man, who sees not only things but the tao of things,
is rare. The tao of the universe is indeed kindness and wisdom;
but essentially tao is also beyond kindness and wisdom".
Such
practical advice was also given by Jesus of Nazareth. However
recent translations of the Askew
and Bruce Codicies written
in the early Coptic texts at the time, reliably illustrate the
additional dominant spiritual nature of the teaching of Jesus
of Nazareth imparted to his inner circle of disciples. This
provides additional support for the common links beyond the
teachings of Leo-Tse and Confucius to the other prominent 'living
masters', Osiris to the Egyptians, Zoroaster the Prophet of
the Persians, Gotama the Buddha and Mohammed the Prophet of
Allah, all reinforcing the concept of the Unity
of Truth and the single Elohim origin. Historical
facts passed down from the Elohim, Sumerian, Babylonian, Hebraic,
Hindu and Moslem successions over 7,000 years have lost key
elements of content, confusing religious historians. Other evidence
supports the yet unexplained 'spiritual' dimension, maybe influenced
by a not yet understood DNA energy source.
Tzu-king
asked if the Master (Confucius), could give him one word to
serve as a rule of life. The Master said:
"Would
not 'reciprocity' be such a word? What you do not wish others
to do unto you, do not unto them".
Jesus
preached in these term: "Do unto
others as you would wish them to do unto you".
All
religions have two common directives:
1.
Strive for spiritual as well as material development.
2.
Live in harmony with the world; in harmony with yourself; in
harmony with your fellow creatures; and in harmony with all
the forces of nature up to the supreme, itself or himself.
Supernatural

In
AD 312 the Emperor Constantine,
who continued to regard the Caananite-Phoenician
sun-god Baal (Anu) as the supreme being, decreed
Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire and two
years later in AD 314, four British Bishops attended the Church
Council at Arles. However prior to Christianity, throughout
the world, even in the temple of Mithras beneath St Peter's
in Rome, the Elohim were worshiped as gods. It took the burning
of the great libraries in Alexandria, Cordoba and Carthage,
and the destruction of as much of the earlier evidence and historical
record as possible to gradually establish the 'Christian' principles
and the ultimate domination of so called 'pagan (country folk)
practices' by Rome, and the other new single god 'religious'
centres, which grew from the major climatic, economic and social,
cyclical low points in history.
St
Patrick (AD 387-461) believed to have been born near
Caerwent in Wales, served four years practical farming as a
slave at Saul in Ireland subsequently returning as a Catholic
Bishop in AD 432. He instigated the burning of the Irish Druidic
books, which were written in the ancient
Phoenician alphabetic text, and he became famous
for banishing the snakes (the Druidic Serpent Knowledge) from
Ireland. Theses actions highlighting the conflict between the
changes in Rome at this time on issues such as original sin,
and the long held Celtic traditions of druidic philosophy, which
promoted above all the freewill of man, the pursuit of knowledge
and a priesthood of peace. Both Britain and Ireland had to contend
with cyclical meteorite debris impacts c. 540, which brought
severe climatic depression on a global scale. This and other
natural disasters later prompted the 'Norse' migration invasions
and horrific destructions, leaving some Irish in Ireland for
ever fighting their shadows and forgetting their glorious past,
genetic identity and the historical realities of the Land of
Eternal Youth, the temporary home of the 'immortals'. However
the Celtic Church in these difficult times managed to export
the less corrupted Celtic and Greek truths and traditions, lifting
hearts and confidence high, as did the Cathars 800 years later
in Languedoc.
The
Elohim, Phoenician
traders and Celtic Greek
mercenaries had brought from the Fertile Crescent, their traditions
of learning to Ireland, long before the occupation of the British
mainland by the Romans. St Patrick was unable to overturn the
ancient Celtic traditions and the Irish developed the very special
Celtic 'monastic university' culture, based on the Greek
language and the well established or imported sciences
of that time. This led from Bangor and other centres of learning,
the export of Irish practical, agricultural, engineering, intellectual
and 'religious' dominance over Scotland, Wales, England, France,
Germany and Northern Italy, initially by no more than 300 wandering
extrovert monks ("no visible goods,
knowledge for sale"). Their influence spread
in difficult times as far east as Kiev, exemplifying the power
of good over evil. Rome had fallen to the Arian Christians led
by Aleric in AD 408. Sadly
the Arian Christians were finally labelled and banished as heretics
by the Church of Rome to the determent of the future of the
whole Mediterranean region. Starvation, disease and forced migration's,
adding to the pressures on the Roman Empire. Many Belgae/Celtic
tribal groups in the west of Britain moved south to northern
France, their descendants returning with William in AD 1066.

of Chicago.
St Columbanus (AD 543-615),
was the most outstanding of the Irish 'farmer' monks (biographer
Marguerite M. Dubois), who founded many high quality 'monastic
universities', including those at Annegray, Fontaines, Luxeuil
and his last and most famous at Bobbio, the centre of learning
in Northern Italy. Author of the Monastic Rule and Penitential,
he writes in AD 614: "Was there
not of old, a philosopher, wiser than all the others, who was
thrown into prison for holding against the opinion of all, that
there was only one god?"
The
third dominant figure was mathematical St
Feargal (d. AD 784). He became Bishop of Salzburg,
much to the disapproval of rival Benedictine St
Boniface from Devon. Feargal believed and taught
that the earth was round, and not only round, but that it had
north and south poles! Feargal with a brilliant mind and sense
of humour was perhaps one of the last to survive such a "perverse
and wicked personal doctrine", which was in opposition
to God and Catholicism. He dealt with this problem, by taking
on St Boniface and Pope Zacharias
in good humoured scientific disputations. After all Feargal
came from a land where 'pagan' predecessors of the Celts were
using Anu and Enli's Elohim encyclopedia of astrology and complex
algebra, to plot the paths of the sun, moon, stars and cometry
debris. They knew of the 25,000 year precession cycle of the
stars and full descriptions of 12 planets (the 12th now being
confirmed). The tradition of 'the wanderers' practical search
for the truth, lived on in the monastic universities of Europe
to emerge 733 years later in 1517 with Augustine monk Martin
Luther.
Eleven
hundred years after Feargal, the first missionaries, contacting
the remote Effe pygmies
in Zaire, were astonished to find them praying to "Our
Father in Heaven" and reciting the Adam and Eve story,
with its prohibition on eating fruit from the tahu tree. It
is not difficult to see how their monotheistic religion, fund
of mythic stories, commanding oral tradition like their other
isolated groups, could have traveled down the Nile from their
Egyptian "ancestor goddess" Bes, surviving
thousands of years, providing their own direct link to the common
creation story, stemming from the original Elohim settlement.
Detailed studies of all primitive oral history from Aborigine,
Aka, Aztec, Berber, Carib, Dogon, Eskimo, Khwe, Masai and Zulu,
tell the same story and provides additional evidence of contact
with and activities of the Elohim.
All
great 'civilizations' (more than seven)
were born out of agricultural competence, favourable natural
conditions and subsequent abundant food supplies. (Britain with
a large population, exported metals, grain, wool, cattle and
hides early in the Roman occupation). The
inevitable cyclical demise of such highly developed
complex societies, has had much to do with ignorance, contempt
and neglect of rural practices, potential and heritage. Arising
when the vast majority of the population became urbanised and
too far devolved from both rural practicality, common sense
and an affordable quality variety diet. History tells us that
civilization, is a description that disintegrates into civil-corruption
and dogma. Plato warned that growing financial demands within
democracies always lead to debt, bankruptcy and chaos.
The
rural simplicity of the 'hunter-gatherer-fisher-horticulturalist-herder',
who 'belonged' to the land, has provided the
enviable continuity and quality of life to so called
'primitive' peoples, such as the world's Pigmies, South and
North American Indians, Indonesian Head Hunters and Cannibals,
until that is, they were wiped out by the so called 'civilized
peoples'. These peoples practiced respect for man and nature,
the custodians and managers of the world's sustainable resources.
North American Indians had inherited or developed, well before
the arrival of Europeans extremely sophisticated and efficient
farming and wildlife management techniques, which were soon
lost and have never been improved upon. Chief Sitting Bull on
a visit to the poverty of the American East Coast in the 1870's,
before he was shot in the back said: "White
man can make everything, but cannot distribute it."
Malnutrition and starvation now dominate most societies. Around
160 million people have been killed in the last 100 years through
failed political attempts to establish equality. The solutions
available from past knowledge require renewed application. Henry
George in Protection or Free Trade 1896: "Here
is the conclusion to the whole matter":
"That
we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us -
that we should respect the rights of others as scrupulously
as we would have our own rights respected is not a mere counsel
of perfection to individuals, but is the law to which we must
conform social institutions and national policy if we would
secure the blessings of abundance and peace."
