The Gods of Eden
 Alan Alford is one of the world’s foremost advocates of Interventionism - the theory that mankind was genetically created by flesh-and-blood "gods". In this article he expands on the work of Zecharia Sitchin to present an account of what happened in the Garden of Eden.
The Biblical tale of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is based on
actual events which happened nearly 200,000 years ago. A comparison of ancient texts with
the latest breakthroughs in genetic science reveals amazingly consistent
details, which
enable us to finally solve the mystery of mankind’s origins.
The shocking conclusion
is that man was a genetic hybrid, created and manipulated not by God, but by
flesh-and-blood, walking, talking ‘gods’.
Man The Slave
A religious belief in One God has dominated the thinking of western society for more
than a thousand years, leading to considerable difficulties with the concept of
flesh-and-blood ‘gods’. However, such an idea did not present any problems to
the world’s first known civilisation - the Sumerians - who lived alongside
these divine rulers and depicted them as human-like beings. The Sumerian scribes and their
Akkadian successors inscribed clay tablets with a wealth of information about the
gods.
One such text, commonly known by the name of its hero, Atra-Hasis, describes the
background to the creation of man, when the gods themselves were involved in the
painstaking extraction of minerals from Earth:
When the gods, as men, bore the work and suffered the toil - the toil of the gods
was great, the work was heavy, the distress was much.
Conditions were so severe that, after 40 periods of
hardship, the gods rebelled against
their leader Enlil. A council of the gods was then called, at which the god Ea
(alias Enki) provided the solution:
While the Birth Goddess is present, let her create a Primitive
Worker, let him bear the yoke, let him carry the toil of the gods!
The ensuing passages of the Atra-Hasis describe what appears to a modern-day reader as
a cloning process, in which the goddess Nin-ti (‘Lady Life’) made fourteen
pieces of ‘clay’ and impregnated fourteen ‘birth goddesses’. The first
slaves comprised seven males and seven females, referred to as LU.LU - a term
indicating a genetic mixture between the primitive hominid Homo erectus and the gods
themselves. The event can be dated to around 200,000 years ago when the large-brained Homo
sapiens suddenly appeared on this planet.
The Meaning of Eden
The Biblical Garden of Eden is not a mythological place but a real
location. In order
to understand what happened there, it is necessary to appreciate that the word Eden is
derived from the Sumerian term E.DIN. Whilst the first syllable ‘E’ meant
‘Home’, the second syllable was an abbreviation of DIN.GIR, commonly translated
as ‘the gods’. Eden or E.DIN was therefore the ‘Abode of the Gods’.
Ancient texts describe more than one abode of the gods, with the Earth being divided
geographically between two rival groups, headed by the brothers Enlil and Enki
respectively. Whilst the Enkiites inhabited the African continent, the Enlilites occupied
Asia and particularly the fertile lands of Mesopotamia. We are thus dealing with both a
western Eden and an eastern Eden.
It was in the western Eden, also known as the Abzu or Lower
World, that Enki and Ninti
created the LU.LU slave, a detail which is confirmed by finds of the oldest Homo sapiens
fossils in Africa. It was in these mineral-rich lands that man was put to work in the
dangerous process of extracting minerals from deep underground.
A text known as The Myth of the Pickaxe explains what happened
next. In the
eastern Eden, Enki’s brother and rival, Enlil, was besieged by his
underlings, who
complained that the slaves were being unfairly monopolised in the Lower
World. Enlil,
described in the following text as ‘the Lord’, reacted
accordingly:
The Lord called forth the AL.ANI, gave its orders. He set the earth splitter as a crown
upon its head, and drove it into the Place-Where-Flesh-Sprouted-Forth. In the hole was a
head of a man; from the ground, people were breaking through towards Enlil. He eyed the
Black-headed Ones in steadfast fashion.
This raid on the Black-headed slaves is also mentioned briefly in the Old
Testament,
Genesis 2:7-8, where man rather curiously had already been formed when he was
‘put’ in the Garden of Eden by ‘God’.
The Serpent God
The Book of Genesis tale of Adam and Eve is nowadays regarded as a symbolic
myth, but
several clues suggest that it drew upon an earlier account of a real
event. The first clue
is that God himself is described as one of the walking talking gods. The second clue is
the presence of the Serpent - a well-known symbol for the ancient Egyptian
gods, and
particularly Enki himself, the genetic scientist who had created man. It is no coincidence
that the modern symbol of medicine is a serpent entwined around a staff.
The third clue lies in the outcome of the Serpent’s
intervention. Adam and
Eve’s embarrassment at being naked, along with Biblical references to the acquisition
of ‘knowledge’, clearly suggest that they were the first human pair to become
sexually aware. The Old Testament suggests that this change was caused by the consumption
of a ‘fruit’. This is a significant detail because, according to the scenario
outlined so far, man was created by the gods as a hybrid creature, and hybrids are nearly
always born sterile. The tale of sexual knowledge being granted in the Garden of Eden
therefore carries a distinct ring of truth.
How exactly did a ‘fruit’ bestow sexual knowledge on Adam and
Eve? As
mentioned earlier, the Serpent god was Enki, the genetic scientist of the
gods, and the
‘fruit’ with which he tempted Eve would thus seem to symbolise a deliberate
genetic intervention by him. However, in order to confirm our suspicions, we must first
address the questions of motive and opportunity, and we must produce a solid scientific
hypothesis on how such a genetic change could have been introduced. The background
provided so far provides all but one of the clues we need to reconstruct the
event. The
missing piece which solves the puzzle is the mysterious ‘Tree of Life’ in the
Garden of Eden.
The Tree of Life
According to the Book of Genesis, Adam and Eve were free to eat from a ‘Tree of
Life’ up until the moment they became sexually aware. Only then did the Lord God
say:
The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and
evil. He must not be allowed to
reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live for
ever.
Why the sudden change of mind? Why was it that this god, identified earlier as
Enlil,
originally wanted man to eat the fruit and live forever, but then decided to withdraw it
from Adam and Eve? Why did it suddenly become necessary for him to expel them and
safeguard the Tree of Life with a ‘flaming sword’? The answer is amazingly
simple. Originally mankind was designed as a slave workforce which could be easily
controlled, and his sterility was an essential control mechanism. However, with the
granting of sexual knowledge to Adam and Eve, man acquired the means to independent
reproduction. The longevity offered by the Tree of Life thus changed from an asset to a
liability, creating a serious risk of an out-of-control population
explosion.
Is it really possible that consumption of a ‘fruit’ could have delayed Adam
and Eve’s ageing process? Genetic scientists have recently discovered that ageing is
caused by genetic mutations, and that one of the prime causes of these errors is excess
oxygen in the cells. This oxygen, known as ‘free radicals’ causes damage to our
cells in the same way that it causes cars to rust and butter to go rancid. Scientists are
now investigating the possibility of using a cocktail of drugs to form a protective
barrier around the cells, and so extend the human life span. Such a drug could well lie
behind the symbolism of the legendary fruit of the Tree of Life.
Anti-ageing drugs, however, were only one method used by the ancient gods to maximise
their life spans. As explained in my book Gods of the New Millennium, the primary
factor behind the alleged immortality of the gods was almost certainly a genetic
inheritance, as evidenced by the male gods’ obsession with marrying their
half-sisters. Such a genetic longevity is indeed being sought in the laboratory
today.
Scientists at the Geron Corporation in America are confident that they can prolong the
life of human cells by manipulating the telomeres on the end of the
chromosomes. Furthermore, a genome which was artificially enhanced in this way would make perfect sense
for a species which was attempting to overcome the time barriers to inter-stellar
travel.
Adam and Eve
According to the Old Testament, Adam lived for 930
years, but this amazing life span
pales into insignificance compared to the reigns of thousands of years recorded in the
Sumerian Kings Lists. These periods once seemed incredible, but are now scientifically
plausible, based on the assumption that man was indeed created in the
gods' image, genetically-speaking. Today’s average life span of three score years and ten is the
inevitable result of the reproductive orgy and genetic mutations which followed the events
in Eden.
Let us now return to the crucial question of how and why the god Enki genetically
reprogrammed the human race. Enki’s motive presents us with no
problem, other than
denting our proud human heritage, for it would seem that his gift of sexual knowledge was
simply a spiteful trick on his brother Enlil. Following the raid on the slave
camps,
mentioned earlier, we can safely surmise that Enki was more than a little upset with his
brother, and was awaiting a suitable opportunity for revenge.
How was it that Enki, the Serpent god, turned up in the Garden of
Eden? The plausible
answer is that Enlil’s raid into Africa captured an insufficient number of male
workers. Without the cloning technology and the females that were created to act as
surrogate mothers, Enlil was powerless to expand his newly acquired labour
force. It was
thus inevitable that he would have to seek Enki’s help in setting up a fully
independent medical centre.
What happened next? The most likely scenario is that Enki brought two female LU.LUs to
the eastern Eden and offered to demonstrate the necessary procedures by carrying out the
first cloning operations. Let us assume that one male and one female embryo were implanted
into the two females with Enlil blissfully unaware that these embryos had been genetically
altered by Enki. The birth of Adam and Eve would thus have appeared perfectly
normal, and
they would have happily spent their childhood days playing in ‘the Garden’
(or
more likely a secure wing of the hospital facility). Then one day the sex genes kicked in
(as they do) and the two pubescent children suddenly realised that they were
naked. When
Enlil saw them hiding with embarrassment, he immediately realised the genetic trick which
had been played on him, and the rest is history - the serpent was cursed and the
blameless Adam and Eve were expelled.
Conclusions
Modern genetic science has revolutionised our understanding of the Book of Genesis and
other ancient texts. The alleged intervention by so-called gods is now supported by a
scientifically plausible scenario, which involves two different Edens and two separate
genetic creations. It is hardly surprising that the editors of the Bible were extremely
confused, and their confusion has handed the Darwinists a walkover victory in the debate
on mankind’s origins. But, whilst these mainstream scientists hunt in vain for
mankind’s ‘missing links’, interventionist scientists are engaged in a
different search which has shattering implications for the new millennium - a search
for mankind’s ‘missing gods’.
