Okay, what I would like to discuss is the possibility that the Hebrews came from Amenhotep IV's holy city where monotheism was practiced. If we would return to the orgin of thoughts, I believe we can put the context of the history we have to work get a more comprehensive order. I believe if God has willed anything for us, it is the Resurection, turning over every rock- the work of archeologist, geologist and related sciences working together for the most complete history of humanity possible. As strongly as any Christian or Muslim felt about religion, I feel
we should all be participating in the Resurection. This is the way to world peace.
Amen Does anyone know why we use that word? Where does it come from?
I don't have the anwer to the above, but I do know Sumerians wrote in cuneiform because this is well documented. I have written the Sumerian story of the river eating the goddess's plants and her cursing him to death a couple of times. In that story Ninti is one of the goddesses who helps heal the river. Her specialty is healing ribs and her name translate to "the lady of the rib" and "the lady who makes live". The play on words does not work in Hebrew, but the rib did enter the Gerden of Eden story in the form of Eve, the mother of the human race- "the lady who makes live". Eden and Adam also appear in cunniform. Eden means "uncultivated plain" and Adam means "settlement on the plain".
Eden was probably located at the confluence of the four rivers in the Prusian Gulf region.
The story that became the story of Adam of Eve, was most likely an account of climate change, and the migration of people. A long draught turning the once fertile area into a desert and again back to a fertile valley. It was human practice, and still exist today in some places, to humanize nature, calling rivers and rock formations names and telling stories about them.
The Hebrews were nomadic people and they searched archives wherever they went. This is very reminiacence of Amenhotep IV monotheism which began with a search of the Egyptian archives for the one true God, Ra. We know they were in Ur because the bible says so. Ur was a Sumerian city. The Hebrews translated the Sumerian story and had to make some adjustments so it would be the story of one God instead of several. This is no different from us finding a writing of an anceint medical practice, and someone explaining it. and adjusting it to comply with what we now know of medicine. There was no intent to decieve or control. Hebrews were sincerely interested in truth and searched for it every where. It is very much a part of our human nature to want to know truth, and to think our explanation of it is better.
