FROM THE END OF HEAVEN According to Sumerian and Babylonian myth, our reality arises from the aftermath of an incredible cosmic nightmare. Their detailed narrative tells of the conquest and slaughter of a great Mother Goddess planet by Planet X, a mysterious roaming planet that swings to the far side of our solar system, and is expected to return to our part of the solar system soon. Enormous uncertainity accompanies its advent. The Sumerians (pronounced ‘Shoomerians’) are a virtually unknown people to most. Their origins are uncertain to scholars. If Planet X is headed this way, however, their stories of their gods and recollections of humanity’s beginnings contain essential guidance for our times. Five thousand years ago Sumerian astronomers made baked clay tablets and crystal cylinder seals researchers say depict our solar system. They show eleven globes encircling a large rayed star, assumed to represent the Sun. Modern astronomy only recognizes nine planets in the solar system – Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. It was not until 1781 that modern astronomy discovered Uranus, 1846 Neptune, and 1930 Pluto. If we include the Moon as a planet, as the Sumerians appear to have done, then we have a total of ten planets orbiting the Sun today. This leaves one planet; a planet much larger than Earth, but smaller than Jupiter and 1 ARK OF THE CHRISTOS Saturn that the Sumerians depicted between Mars and Jupiter. Whoever inspired the Sumerians to craft these seals appears also to have inspired the priestly poets, who, Sumerian scholar Zecharia Sitchin maintains, numbered the planets in our solar system from the outside in, as if they approached Earth from outside our solar system.1 No names are given on the Sumerian cylinder-seals for the bodies depicted on them. This left it to the poets, or their muses, to fill in the blanks. Sitchin, who began publishing his poetic interpretations of these tales in 1976 in his Earth Chronicles series of five books, revolutionized the study of the Enuma Elisha, the ‘Babylonian Genesis’, and the Hebrew Genesis by bringing forth a creation tale whose implications literally could transform the human race. His controversial work constitutes a potential major breakthrough in our understanding of fundamental questions that have always perplexed humankind: Who are we? How did we get here? What are we doing here? How do we return home? In these olden texts we learn the extra planet located between Mars and Jupiter is called TIAMAT, a goddess who has two faces. In the patriarchal tradition she is called “the monster,” and the “serpent dragon of chaos.” While in the older matriarchal tradition she is called the “maiden of life,” and is described in glowing terms as a scintillating prize to behold: the primordial sea-goddess that would face an incredible Atlantis-like fate. The Enuma Elisha tells how Armageddon struck this Goddess. She was violently split into pieces. One half of Tiamat was demolished and became the asteroid belt, “the hammered bracelet” or planetary debris field circling Mars and Jupiter. The other half became Earth. In other words, as Sitchin says, Earth is Tiamat reincarnated. The Torah also refers to this destruction, alluding to Planet X as the Sumerians did as ‘the Lord’: 2 ARK OF THE CHRISTOS The Heavens bespeak the glory of the Lord, The Hammered Bracelet proclaims his Handiwork…2 Very alluringly the Torah adds: “From the end of heaven he emanates.3 The hammering of this goddess is attributed to the first blacksmith or alchemist who ‘hammered out’ or rather ‘cast’ the world. His name was E.A. (pronounced Aya), the lord of wisdom and of mining or metallurgy.4 In the Babylonian retelling of the story E.A.’s son, Marduk, another name for Planet X, usurped his father’s authority and took credit for the slaying of this dragon, the original war in heaven later described in the Book of Revelation. After the confrontation, says Sitchin, Planet X remained in our solar system on a vast elliptical orbit of 3,600 years,5 making it too dim to see. It is a twelfth planet in our solar system, the tenth from the Sun. Hence it is called Planet X, the Roman numeral for ten. E.A. is a central figure in our investigation. Interestingly, E.A. was actually a name for the Goddess before it was used as a name for the male god. E.A.’s original association with the Goddess is reflected in its presence in East, Easter, and Earth, all words associated with the Divine Feminine. The baked clay tablets left by the Sumerians, and interpreted by Sitchin, tell us that after the cataclysm that formed the Earth E.A. led a group of interplanetary beings from Planet X who descended on the wounded dragon to seed new civilization. Sitchin estimates this occurred some 450,000 years ago.6 The Sumerians called E.A., and the first representatives of Planet X who descended on Earth, the An-nun-aki, or the Sons of Anu or Ana, meaning the ‘People of the God of Light’. The Ana race was known by various names. In Greece, the Annodoti. In the Celtic lore, the Tuatha de 3 ARK OF THE CHRISTOS Danaan. In the Semetic scriptures (Torah, Talmud, Old Testament, and the Apocryphal texts like the Book of Enoch), they are called the Nephilim, Giants, the Sons of God, or the Watchers. They are described as coming and going from the stars in fiery flying vehicles. They have weapons of mass destruction, which they used on one another. They wear high-tech clothing with attachments symbolized as wings, horns, and even fish scales. Each of these symbols indicated divine power and royal blood. The Bible also calls them the ELs, an ancient word that is found in many other languages including: the Sumerian EL, “brightness,” “shining,” Akkadian ILU, “radiant one,” Babylonian ELLU, “the shining one,” Old Welsh ELLU, “a shining being,” and the English ELF, “shining being.”7 I will refer to them as the Shining Ones. Sitchin maintains the Shining Ones came to Earth in search of gold to mend an atmospheric crisis on Planet X. At first, he says, E.A. attempted to mine the gold out of the waters of the Earth.8 When the result was not satisfactory, his half brother Enlil came to Earth, assumed command, and moved the operations to Africa, where the gold was plentiful (and still is). When the labor became too intense for these ancient astronauts, E.A. genetically altered the proto-humans then inhabiting the planet, creating humanity as a slave race. The interchange of the biblical term El and the Sumerian Shining Ones illuminates much of previously muddled myth and scripture, particularly the four quintessential quotations from the book of Genesis: 1:1 In the beginning, the Shining Ones created the heavens and the Earth. 1:26 The Shining Ones said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in the likeness of ourselves. 2:8 Yahweh (the leader of the Shining Ones) planted a Garden in the east… 4 ARK OF THE CHRISTOS 5:24 Enoch walked with the Shining Ones. Then he disappeared because the Shining Ones took him away. From Sumerian records, Sitchin surmises that sometime after their arrival, E.A. and his partner, the goddess, Ninharsag, began to experiment with the wild Homo erectus they found inhabiting the delta regions of Africa. These experiments led to the cultivation of a lulu or “mixed one,” a hybrid who became a primitive worker and culminated sometime around 300,000 BC with the prototype the Sumerians called Adapa, the “model man,” and the Hebrews called Adam.9 There is little doubt E.A.
