@Ommunite@_EyesOnTheSkies@g_knapp Thank you I will let him know! He doesn’t have Internet or a phone. Going to see him this weekend. I’ll probably set up a social media page for him within the next month or so.
@Ommunite@_EyesOnTheSkies@g_knapp Additionally, in about two years time by 2029, his biological body will die, but his soul will be transferred to a younger body. The beings have a base on the moon. 🌕 🛸. He is going to live with them and be biologically 30 forever. Picture related. Your soul is made light 💡
Not Cosigning on Ancient Egyptian Artifacts in the Grand Canyon, BUT there are massive cave Systems, that appear man made.
This is a large cubical space inside a long rectangular corridor called "Muav Cave West"
Esta profecia, publicada na Pall Mall Gazette em 6 de novembro de 1893 (p. 3) e posteriormente ilustrada no Pall Mall Budget em 16 de novembro de 1893 (p. 1796), foi escrita por H. G. Wells, autor de A Guerra dos Mundos.

“Os descendentes do homem se alimentarão por meio da imersão em líquidos nutritivos. Terão cérebros enormes, olhos líquidos e expressivos e mãos grandes, sobre as quais saltitarão. Não terão nariz adunco nem vestígios de orelhas; suas bocas serão pequenas aberturas perfeitamente redondas, semelhantes à estrela da tarde. Todo o seu sistema muscular estará reduzido a quase nada, como um apêndice pendente de suas mentes.” — Pall Mall Gazette (trecho resumido).
Before the Great Flood, the gods apparently held a meeting to decide whether humanity should be allowed to survive.
The reason given for wanting us destroyed is pretty fucking disturbing.
I'm talking about Atrahasis, a Babylonian epic preserved on cuneiform tablets nearly 4,000 years old.
According to the text, humanity was originally created because the lesser gods, the Igigi, were tired of doing the work themselves.
Digging canals and moving earth.
They revolted against Enlil, and the solution was to create humans to carry the burden.
For a while, it worked. But humanity multiplied. Our numbers increased, and eventually Enlil became irritated by the noise we were making.
So he summoned the divine assembly.
The ancient writers describe gods gathering to discuss what should be done with the human population.
Enlil addresses them."The noise of mankind has become burdensome to me."
He complains that he cannot sleep because of the uproar.
His solution is to send disease.
Namtar is instructed to bring sickness upon humanity. But Enki, another powerful god who had helped arrange our creation, intervenes.
He tells Atrahasis how to persuade Namtar to lift the affliction.
When humanity multiplies again, he calls another meeting. This time he wants food production restricted.
Adad is to withhold the rain. Water rising from below is to be blocked and the winds are to dry the land. The fields are to stop producing as well.
The account specifically distinguishes water falling from the sky from water rising out of the earth.
The famine becomes horrific and people starve. It eventually describes parents eating their own children.
Eventually, Enlil decides that partial measures are no longer enough.
The gods assemble again.This time, the proposed solution is the destruction of humanity by a Flood.
The gods are required to swear an oath.
Enki objects."Why will you bind me with an oath?"But the decision proceeds.
Enki eventually warns Atrahasis through the wall of a reed dwelling, instructing him to abandon his possessions, construct a vessel and preserve life.
When the Flood begins, the gods themselves become frightened. The mother goddess Nintu, who participated in humanity's creation, begins to weep and cry.
She says Enlil pressured her into supporting the decision. She watches the people she helped create disappear into the waters.
When the Flood ends, Enlil discovers that humans have survived.
The divine assembly had sworn an oath. Somebody had broken the secrecy surrounding the decision.
Enki is confronted and acknowledges that he preserved life.
Eventually, the gods allow humanity to continue, but the arrangement changes. Human reproduction and survival are subjected to new limits.
The divine council was the assembly of the major Mesopotamian deities, often associated with the Anunnaki.
Anu was the great sky god and an ancient source of divine authority. Enlil exercised power over kingship and decrees. Enki was associated with wisdom and the freshwater depths. Nintu, also called Mami or Belet-ili, was associated with humanity's creation.
In The Lament for Ur, the goddess Ningal learns that the destruction of her city and its population has been decreed. She approaches An and Enlil, begging them to reconsider. "Let not my city be destroyed." She pleads for the people to survive andthey refuse. She approaches them again when the Anunnaki are seated in council. Again, she begs again, but the decision stands.
In the related Lament for Sumer and Ur, Enlil's own son Nanna asks his father why he has abandoned the city. Enlil explains that Ur was granted kingship, but its reign was never intended to last forever. That's the justification. That's it, nothing else.
I find Enlil interesting because other ancient texts credit him with bringing civilization, agriculture, prosperity and kingship into existence.
When they destroy humans and its so passive that disturbs me; mainly the reasoning.
In Atrahasis, the complaint is humanity's increasing numbers and noise.
In the Ur laments, a kingdom's allotted time has expired.
None of these narratives requires Enlil to hate humanity. He simply considers the preservation of divine order more important than the survival of the people living under it.
Why did the people of ancient Mesopotamia preserve stories in which the very gods responsible for creating and sustaining humanity also gathered together to discuss destroying it?
