Slave Species of god

by Michael Tellinger

  The true face of God has not been revealed; our origins have not been explained; we still don't know who we are, where we come from and why we are here. I am talking about the real facts and not the fairytale and horror stories which have kept us humans enslaved for too long. You be the judge. Does the outline of our so-called holy religions give you a feeling of confidence, and that we have it all under control? I am afraid it does the opposite. It graphically exposes the insecurity of Humankind and our constant struggle to find out the real truth about ourselves. But it is so tightly wrapped up in syrups of different flavours, that it has most probably caused a global diabetes syndrome and we must be losing our sight and other senses. Surely the answers to our problems are not to be found in the dogma of these man-made religions?

  CHAPTER 14

  Myths & Lies The living gods

  I recall vividly the first day I discovered a story about prehistoric mythological gods and their adventures. It sounded like the world's greatest fairytale and yet it possessed some kind of mystery that made it feel more real that any other story I had ever heard. The characters were so well-defined that I could not help but imagine they were real. Flying through the skies, crossing the world in a flash, causing the thunder and rain and bringing love and fertility to people while somehow being engaged in a perpetual battle for some righteous cause. It was mainly the Greek gods, Roman gods and the Egyptian gods that I was so taken by. Although I was told on many occasions that they were not real, and they were merely imaginary deities who arose out of people's overactive minds over thousands of years, I refused to believe that. I really wanted to believe that these ancient gods were real. They were so majestic, all-knowing, all-powerful with extravagant palaces all over the world in secret places, where man could never set foot. The more I heard of these stories, the more I wanted them to be real. What my motivation was I will never know, but I suspect that it was really just the thought of touching the untouchable. The goddesses always looked so sexy and even as a young boy they had already appealed to me.

  As far as I was concerned, these magnificent gods and goddesses lived in a secret place in the world which was well hidden from humans, and that they would keep it a great secret from us forever. I was so taken by these gods that they consumed my teenage years and I wrote numerous songs about them from Zeus, the all powerful; Venus, the sexy goddess of love and every man's ultimate fantasy; Bacchus, Mercury, Thor, Apollo and even the terrible Beelzebub. I wanted to immortalise these exciting characters in my own way. In hindsight I find this rather strange behaviour and it intrigues me why they made such an impression on me and why I behaved in such a manner. As the years wore down my impressionable qualities, I began to wonder what the possibilities were, that maybe somewhere in the distant past such deities may have actually existed on Earth, and that they may be more than just fantasy characters. I'm sure that I am just one of many millions of screwed-up individuals who have had such thoughts at some stage. But my history teachers were steadfast in their pronouncement that they were most definitely just imaginary characters of simple people who needed something to believe in. Those simple, primitive people, folk from the distant past must have had great imagination, I thought, saddened by the reality that modern man no longer has such a vivid imagination… such detailed imagination… such convincing imagination which can last for thousands of years. But in the education system of the western world, which is driven relentlessly by Judeo-Christian monotheistic beliefs, any teachers who would carelessly admit to the possible existence of ancient gods would be rapidly dismissed. That little part I did not know for some time. The part that has firmly held our cultures and customs in a stranglehold for 2,000 years. It started to dawn on me that people today are as fearful of their god, as the ancient people were fearful of the multitude of gods they prayed to. The only real difference was that the primitive people could see their gods, while we modern humans with fantastic technology cannot see our god. But this has not always been the case however, because the forefathers of our great modern religions saw ‘god’ all the time. That was such an exciting discovery for me – it had actually been staring me in the face all the time. Of course… Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Ezekiel, Isaiah, David, and many other heroes of the Bible had regular contact with ‘our’ god as he came down from the heavens to converse with our forefathers and give them his commands. The only god, the real god, the god of love, the most vengeful god, but also the righteous god. So there it was, our god was also sexy, spectacular, flew across the skies on clouds and chariots and lived in a magnificent palace in the sky. We did not have to feel ashamed of our god in front of the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians.

  Then one day, a small technicality dawned on me. The fact that all the great civilisations of the world have their own mythology filled with magnificent gods. It made me wonder how they all seem to have heard about these gods all over the world. A well informed 13-year-old friend of mine promptly provided the answer. “People passed the stories down from one generation to another for thousands of years and that is how they spread all over the world,” he said convincingly. How stupid could I be… of course! That is what people did, they told stories to their children and the stories travelled around the world being told by mothers to their children everywhere. That seemed like a very plausible solution to me and I was happy for a while. But as the years went by and I started to delve into more juicy literature, I suddenly wasn't so sure anymore. How is it possible that every civilisation around the world had a similar set of gods they prayed to? And the gods did not take thousands of years to reach them, they suddenly appeared out of the blue, taking control of the local humans' lives and destinies? Let me explain the logistical problem to you. Even today, with international flight possible, with media covering every corner of the world, people who travel to all parts of the world carrying news and messages and cultural influences with them, it is still extremely difficult to get a message across, which people will accept, swallow and buy into. Even Richard Branson with his global brands and global influence finds it difficult to launch a new idea like Virgin Cola everywhere. People must be really impressed by something to embrace it or they must be enticed to embrace it by the promise of reward, or forced to embrace it by the threat of violence. It is therefore very difficult to swallow modern-day explanations of how the primitive people of the world all got to hear the stories about these fantastical gods.

  What makes these assumptions even more silly is the problem of antiquity, when the people of ancient times had no idea who lived 200 miles away from them, let alone 10,000 miles away, which included 7,000 miles of treacherous ocean. I trust you are starting to grasp the problem. How could those amazing stories of majestic gods have travelled such distances? And who was telling those stories to the people 11,000 years ago? And who actually created those stories? Did they originate in the Near East, in Mesopotamia, in the Far Eastern lands of China and Japan, or in the Americas where the Mayan and Inca civilisations were blooming way back then. The stories could also have originated in many other parts of the world, even among more remote cultures like the Inuits, Khoi-San, Aboriginals, Maori… you see the problem? Suddenly our spectacular mythological stories pose a real challenge to us in tracing them back to their mythical origin. It just does not seem to make any sense. The flood story is a great example of similar tales which were told by many cultures scattered over the world. We have explored some of those examples of similarity in a previous chapter. And it gets even more confusing when we realise that all the ancient cultures had very much the same group of gods they prayed to, they feared, they made offerings to, they were protected by, they were punished by, and gods whom they seemed to have regular contact with. If this sounds a little strange, let me quickly remind you of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and other biblical legends who had exactly those kind of experiences with their god constantly, throughout their lives. It was as if the gods were controlling the people's lives on a daily basis in ancient history. By this I mea
n all the people, including our biblical heroes. Is it possible that the gods of the ancient Mesopotamians and Greeks were the same gods of Noah and Abraham? The many descriptions in the Sumerian tablets by kings and priests of their gods are very similar to the descriptions by the biblical characters of god. Let me also ask my question from the first chapter. Why has it been 2000 years since god has actually physically appeared before someone of international stature, or anyone else for that matter and had a conversation with them? Why is it that the many appearances by angels and god himself, have come to a stop? Is it because of our growing awareness and intelligence as a species? And the development of audiovisual technology, which could very easily expose the so-called angels as something very different?

  The puzzle of the ancient gods is a crucial element in the quest for our origins which needs to be answered, before we find more clarity on who we are and where we come from. Let's face it, all the insipid explanations of how the primitive people created these gods from their imagination when they were bored thousands of years ago is simply not plausible and it stinks of our modern-day arrogance. There are simply too many holes and too many incredible coincidences. The most visible coincidence in the mythological god question, is the simple fact that all the ancient cultures had virtually exactly the same gods with the same hierarchy. There is always the supreme god who in most cases is responsible for creating the world; his sons and daughters; their offspring and their offspring and so on. The amazing thing is, that in each case the god was incredibly well-profiled. The people knew which aspects of their world each god was responsible for, how the gods looked, what they wore, how they travelled, in what kind of machine, whom they were married to, or had kids with, what they liked and disliked, what offerings people should make to them if the gods were angry, and when the people had sinned. In most cases people even knew where the god actually lived. The one overwhelming characteristic that all the gods seemed to share was their potential for violence, strong-handedness, vengeance and punishment of the humans. But the gods also rewarded their loyal servants for performing good deeds, just like in the Bible. Those deeds were however normally commands or very strongly worded ‘requests’ by the gods.

  Genesis 13:14 -17.

  “The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, ‘Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.’”

  There are many cases in the Bible where god rewards his servants, and the so-called mythical gods were equally generous when they wanted to be… only when they wanted something. There was always a hidden agenda behind god's requests. People first had to do something, go somewhere, perform some arduous task, before they received some form of reward. The reward was more often than not, grandiose. There is just too much detailed information in the relationship between the mythical gods and the people of ancient times, to have been a figment of people’s imagination. Much of the detail includes physical and material interaction between man and god which in today's world would be completely fantastical. The Greeks described their gods as anthropomorphic, which means that they looked like humans in most respects. They also displayed all the same human characteristics. They were happy, angry, jealous, argued and fought, had likes and dislikes, they loved sex and procreated like humans by creating offspring through sexual intercourse. They were untouchable and unreachable and yet they were constantly mixed up in human affairs. They travelled at high speeds around the world, disappeared in a flash and arrived in an instant. They each had specific functions and weapons of great destruction and unusual power. People made ritual offerings to win their favour but they were extremely unpredictable and could change their minds quickly, depending on their mood.

  The most compelling argument against the mythological god theory, is that around 9,000 years BC shortly after the emergence of civilisation in Sumer, the early forefathers of the great Mayan civilisation had also popped up. What is totally mind-boggling is that they also knew all about agriculture, planting and harvesting crops, domesticating animals, had communal settlements like villages and cities where they displayed a remarkable grasp for trade and commerce. They had their own currency, they had seemingly endless supplies of gold, they also knew the process of gold ore mining. The Mayan civilisation has baffled archaeologists for the past 200 years, when the rape of the continent first subsided and historical interest was raised, but even today there seems to be no clarity regarding its actual origins, true age and relevance to the Sumerian civilisation. Or is there? Ancient China had a god who actually lived among the people and performed wondrous deeds for them. Does that sound familiar? The parallels with Jesus are astounding. Kuan Ti was a god of war. The ‘Great Judge’ who protected the people from injustice and evil spirits. A red-faced god always dressed in green, he was also an oracle. Kuan Ti was an actual historical figure, a general of the Han dynasty, renowned for his skills as a warrior and his justness as a ruler. There were more than 1,600 temples dedicated to Kuan Ti. This sounds a lot more like the messiah for whom the Jews were waiting. A warrior king to lead them out of slavery and defeat all their enemies.

  The other fascinating coincidence is that most of the mythologies, although thousands of miles and years apart, seemed to have a pantheon of 12 main gods who commanded a whole host of other lesser gods, who were mostly siblings or other relatives. This was one big family affair. Why would it be kept in the family in such a fashion? Cast your mind back to biblical events. There too, the heir to a father’s riches would be the son of his half-sister and not the son of his wife. Abraham had an episode like that and the Sumerian gods kept this pure bloodline ritual going most of the time, except when it all got out of hand and the “Sons of the gods saw the daughters of man and had children with them” as is outlined in Genesis 6.

  Genesis 6:1 - 8.

  “When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the LORD said, ‘My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.’ The Nephilim were on the earth in those days and also afterward when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, ‘I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air for I am grieved that I have made them.’ But Noah found favour in the eyes of the LORD.”

  This passage is another perfect example of how the ruling gods did not want their blood contaminated with the slave species. They needed to stay pure to stay more powerful and in control, which was showing signs of slipping. The slave species had found new wisdom and were no longer prepared to be treated so badly. And now that the sons of the gods were marrying mortal ‘slave women’, the offspring would have an advanced genome, be more intelligent and live much longer. Already then, the gods had decided that they would not “contend with man forever, and his days on earth are numbered”, as is outlined in verse 3 above. They knew very well of the impending cosmic gravitational effect which was going to cause the Great Flood, when Nibiru came closer to the Sun. This would take care of the human problem forever.

  Let's take a look at the major ancient civilisations and their prominent gods, to see how closely they resemble each other in description, responsibility, behaviour and many other characteristics. Let us start with the Sumerian gods, since they seem to be the oldest of the lot and probably are the ‘originals’ upon which all the rest were modelled. We can say this with confidence because the Sumerians actually
recorded their god's names in tablets called The Sumerian King Lists, with genealogies and tales in great detail. This ancient tablet contains some 149 names of kings and gods dating back to before the flood and so far there have not been any older discoveries made. Sumerian gods were the predecessors for later Akkadian, Babylonian and Assyrian civilisations; the same gods with different names. Sometimes the names differed very slightly, as in AN and ANU. At first sight, the list of names looks like a mish-mash of confusion, but on closer inspection we realise that they were all related and that the nieces and nephews and grandsons were allocated less important positions mostly in the smaller towns and villages. They were probably no more than foot soldiers posted out in the country to maintain a presence. Zecharia Sitchin points out that one such example of a lesser god with no awesome weapons or powers or heroic tales was NIN.KASHI. This goddess supervised the beverages and her name literally meant ‘lady beer’. These lesser gods were referred to as ‘gods of Earth’.

  Each of the important deities was the patron of one or more Sumerian city and large temples were erected in the name of such deities, who were worshipped as the divine ruler and protector of the city. Temple rites were conducted by many priests, priestesses, singers, musicians, sacred prostitutes, and eunuchs. The gods required that sacrifices were offered to them daily, which was a clever way of staying in close contact with their slave species and maintaining a subservient mentality among them. The Sumerians believed that human beings were ‘fashioned out of clay’ just like in many later cultures and religions, and were created for the purpose of supplying the gods with food, drink, and shelter, so that the gods might have full leisure for their divine activities.

  Once you unravel the long list of names you end up with a pantheon of powerful deities who ruled Earth with an iron fist. The Sumerians called them ‘gods of Heaven and Earth’. These were the gods who struck fear into mortals with their awesome weapons as they regularly moved between heaven and Earth in their ‘boats of heaven’. They were ‘international’ gods who were active in various parts of the world where they had established mining activities. It is therefore logical to assume that because of their constant movement from place to place, the local ‘slave species’created their own localised stories about the ‘gods of heaven’. They were powerful with abilities way beyond human comprehension and yet they looked like humans, ate like humans, they displayed the same emotions like love, hate, loyalty, anger and infidelity. This amazing similarity has baffled historians and anthropologists for years, mainly because they have constantly relegated Sumerian gods into the category of mythology. The moment we venture beyond this small-minded outlook, we can clearly recognise the genetic link between humans and their gods. The pantheon of ‘gods of Heaven and Earth’ were the original settlers on planet Earth who established a powerful dynasty long before humanity entered the picture. This is what the Sumerians believed and what they wrote about. It is also important to come to terms with the reality that it was not about the humans, but our ancient past was all about the gods. Humankind was a mere accidental ‘bystander’ who was created to ease the daily grind of the gods. That is why the ancient humans were so absorbed by them. A family of advanced proto-humans who settled on Earth, our creators, the so-called gods who have ruled this planet for over 400,000 years. They were closely related and yet at times, they were bitterly divided.
