 Asherah

Ashera Amud (Pole) being destroyed by an Israelite.

_________________________

Asherah was a Phoenician goddess, and the consort of the supreme god.
She was known as "She Who Walks in the Sea," and was also called
Holiness, and occasionally, Elath, the goddess.
Asherah was an Amud (Pillar or column in Hebrew, Aramaic, Phoenician,
and Arabic) with seven branches on each side surmounted by a globular
flower with three projecting rays, and not a phallic stone, as depicted by the
Israelites.

*** *** ***

Asherah, the 70 gods and the Anunnaki:

According to texts from Ugarit (Modern Ras Shamra, Syria), Asherah's
consort was El, and by him she was the mother of 70 gods. As mother
goddess she was worshiped throughout the lands of Syria, Phoenicia,
Canaan and Palestine.
As Baal's consort, Asherah was usually called Baalat.

The 70 gods, children of Asherah and El were astonishingly called “Binnin

Ashira”, after their mother, and not their father, the almighty god El.
Asherah was hated by the Hebrews for several reasons, but the two most
important ones were:

1-Her Phoenician origin made her the offspring of the Biblical

“Giants” (Anakim, Anunnaki), the enemy of the Tribes of Israel.
2-El, her husband was a direct threat to Yahweh, consequently, a
direct menace to their religion.

Thanir “Tanin”
__________________________

Thanir: Phoenician/Ugaritic. Noun. A dragon.

Tanin in Arabic.
Tanir represented a symbol of authority and royal origin, used by numerous
kings of the ancient Near/Middle East, particularly the kings of Babylon in
Mesopotamia, and Tyre in Phoenicia.

Isaiah 27:1 “In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword
will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent;
and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.” Psalm 74:12-14 “Yet God is
my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth. Thou didst
divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters
in the waters. Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest
him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.”
The book of Job describes in detail Yahweh’s fight and the fire of the
dragon. Job 41: “Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook? Or press
down his tongue with a cord? Canst thou put a rope into his nose? Or pierce
his jaw through with a hook? His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes
are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning torches,
And sparks of fire leap forth. Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, As of a
boiling pot and burning rushes. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth
forth from his mouth.”
Unquestionably, the Biblical story of Yahweh fighting the dragon is copied
from the “Baal Cycle”, an Ugaritic story of god Baa-Hadad who fought
against Yam.
The 13th century B.C. myth of the Phoenician god Baal-Hadad told us that
he fought his brother Yam, also called Nahar, to dominate Earth and to rule
over the whole world, while the Jewish story was written in 586 B.C.
(Note: Some historians have claimed that the Biblical story was written
between 588 and 1200 B.C.)
The Biblical story of the Hebrew God Yahweh fighting Baal-Hadad is
simply a reproduction of chapter two of the Ugaritic myth of Yaw (Yahweh)
fighting against Baal for the domination of Earth. And the Phoenician
dragon mythical story resurfaced once again in the New Testament.
Revelation 13:1 “…and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a
beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns, and seven heads, and on
his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.”-100 CE.
Many of the early Israelites saw Yahweh as a subordinate to the Phoenician
god El. And thus, they equated him with Baal, the Canaanite god they
worshiped, and whose attributes were given to Yahweh. Yahweh was
depicted as a storm-god who ruled over the waters. And Baal too, was a
storm-god who conquered and dominated the waters, symbolized by a sea
serpent and a sea-dragon. The Psalms described Yahweh conquering and
subduing the waters by destroying Rab and Leviathan the dragons, exactly
as did the Phoenician God Baal who conquered the waters and destroyed
the “Tanin”, the sea-dragon.

Thus, it is obvious that the story of Yahweh fighting the dragon originated
from the Phoenician story of Baal fighting the dragon.

Thanit was known as the lady of Carthage, and the “Face of Baal”. She was
the great goddess of the Carthaginians and the protector of city of Carthage.

Carthage.
Phoenician funerary stele, sandstone, depicting the sign of goddess Thanit,

____________________________

The Phoenicians built a magnificent shrine/temple for her; the temple was
so splendid to a point that when the Romans invaded Carthage, they
preserved and defended it while destroying the entire city.

Later on, the temple of Thanit was devoted to Astarte, a goddess made in
the image of Ashtaroot, a Phoenician goddess, and Babylonian Ishtar.

Thanit was also called:

a-Tanith,
b-Tent,
c-Thinit,
d-Tinnit,
e-Rat-tanit,
f-Tanis. This is the Greek version of her name.

The Romans called her:

a-Dea Caelestis, “The heavenly goddess”,
b-Virgo Caelestis “The heavenly virgin”,
c-Caelestis Afrorum Dea, “The African-Carthaginian heavenly goddess”.
d-Juno Caelestis.

________________________________

From Ugarit, the early Hebrews imported Yahweh, their “God”!

It was at Ugarit, that the early remnants of the Anunnaki developed the
Mahrit (Mah’rit), which was originally found in Arwad.
Many Ugaritic tablets served as the primordial inspiration for the scribes
who wrote the Bible. Several deities from Ugarit were retransformed and
renamed as Jewish deities, and later on, Jehovah’s attributes were modeled
after the characteristics and attributes of El and Baalof Ugarit.

The Ugaritic gods and goddesses played a primordial role in shaping the
persona of Yahweh and crafting his attributes; Baal of Mount Sapan and
Ugarit was one of the early gods of the Israelites.

 Adon “Adonis”
_________________________

Adon “Adonis”: Phoenician/Greek. Noun.

The name of a Phoenician god. Adon was called Adonis by the Greeks, and
Adonai by Semites and the Hebrews. Adonai is also the Hebrew name or
expression for “My Master” or “My Lord”.
In their prayer, the Jews pronounce Yahweh (YHWH) as Adonai. Yahweh
was also called Adoni by the Hebrews.
Adonai is directly derived from the Phoenician words: "Adon" and
"Adoon".
The Hebrew, Syriac, Aramaic and Arab words: “Eloi”, “Elohak”, “Eloh”,
“Elahona”, “Elohaino”, “Eli”, “Elah” and “Allah” are derived from the
Phoenician “El”, which means God.
Adon was also called El.
An in-depth analysis of the ancient Sumerian tablets recorded in cuneiform
and including the Atra Hasis, the Enuma Elish, Adafa, the Descent of Ishtar
to the underworld, Tammuz and Ishtar, the Gilgamesh Epic, and Etana to
name a few, revealed that Adonis was also an Anunnaki god.

Adonis was also identified with the Babylonian god Tammuz.

The name Tammuz can be found in the ancient tablets “Tammuz and
Ishtar”, and in the Old Testament in Ezekiel 8:14.
Tammuz was known to the Babylonians as Dumuzi.
Originally, Tammuz was depicted as one of the Elohim found in the ancient
tablets of the Atrahasis and the Enuma Elish. Worth mentioning here, that
Elohim in this context refer to one of the names of the Anunnaki.
In Sumerian, Tammuz means the “Sprout forth as a faithful son.”

According to Babylonian-Phoenician legends, Adonis, “Adon”, “Adonai”

appeared before Abraham and commanded him to lead his Ram “People”
toward the Promised Land, Palestine.
Later on, his name Adonis or Adon was associated with his new Hebrew
name Adonai.
And once again, he appeared before Moses as Adonai.
From Exodus 4:10: “And Moses said to Yahweh Adonai: “Oh my Yahweh,
I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou has spoken unto thy
servant, but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”
According to Phoenician mythology, Adonis was killed by the tusk of a
wild boar.
The Piazza Pancali, at the entry of Ortigia, included a temple dedicated to
the Phoenician god Adonis.
The ruins were discovered in 1860 under old Spanish barracks.

________________________________

Many historians believe that Dumuzi was a Mesopotamian god of growth

and fertility, associated with the Phoenician god Adonis who also was god
of vegetation, growth and fertility in Phoenicia. He was known to the
Hebrew as Tammuz, and was identified with the Greek god Adonis.

Dumuzi is the Sumerian form of Tammuz, who was the god of vegetation
and fertility, and also of the Kurnugi, the land of no return, the underworld.
In the Sumerian poem “Descent of Inanna to the Underworld” he is
depicted as the husband of the goddess Inanna, the Sumerian counterpart of
Ishtar. According to the Sumerian King-List, Gilgamesh was a descendant
of Dumuzi.
In Hebrew and Aramaic, Dumuzi is called Tammuz.

The Sumerian King List mentions two Dumuzis, one as the shepherd, who
eventually became a king, and the other as a fisher, who reigned over Uruk.
Because of the paramount importance of agriculture in the Near
East/Middle East (Mesopotamia, Syria and Phoenicia), especially in the 4th
Millennium B.C., Tammuz, Tummuz, Adon, Adonis, and Dumuzi were
considered the same deity.

 Inanna

In Mesopotamian and Babylonian mythologies, Dumuzi is the consort of

Inanna who has been identified and/or associated with the Phoenician
goddess Ishtar (Ashtaroot), the lover of Adon in the Phoenician mythology.
The Habiru (Hebrews), the Phoenicians and the Sumerians wrote about
gods descending on earth to fertilize the earth, and fertilize women of the
earth, thus giving birth to a new breed of humans.
In addition to the Akkadian/Sumerian tablets, a Phoenician tablet
discovered in 1936 in Lebanon, described Adonis as a traveling young
handsome god who descended on earth aboard a circular disc resembling
the sun to fertilize the earth.

Adonis as Tammuz

Tammuz “Tamuz” (Adon): Ana’kh/Sumerian/Akkadian. Noun.

He was the Anunnaki/Sumerian god of agriculture, worshipped by the
Habiru (Hebrews), and early Israelites as well as by the Syrians, and the
Phoenicians.

Later on in history, his name "Tammuz" became the Akkadian, Babylonian,

Jewish, Phoenician and Arabic name of a month (Period between June-
July).
In the Bible, however, the month is referred to as the fourth month,
(Chodesh Tammuz), with reference to Nisan, as the first month. "And He
brought me to the entrance at the Gate of the House of the Lord which was
at the north; and there were there women sitting, bewailing the Tammuz"
(Yechezkel 8:14).

Like the Phoenician god, Adon “Adoon” (Adonis in Greek), Tammuz died
in midsummer. But he was brought back to life by the striking
Sumerian/Phoenician goddess Ishtar (Ashtaroot).
Inhabitants of the “Fertile Crescent”, Syria, Palestine, Phoenicia, Babylonia
and the lands of Akkad worshiped him also as the sun god. The Greeks
called him “Adonis”; a name derived from the Phoenician “Adon”.

______________________________________
The Habiru (Hebrews) transformed Adon into Adonai (My Lord). The
women of Israel held annual lamentations over Adonis. The feast held in his
honor began with the new moon, in the month of Tammuz (July), taking
place in Byblos (Jbeil) in Phœnicia (Modern Lebanon); but it was also
celebrated as late as the fourth century of our era in Bethlehem, as we find
St. Jerome writing (Epistles p. 9) his lamentations in these words:

“Over Bethlehem, the grove of Tammuz,

that is of Adonis, was casting its shadow!
And in the grotto where formerly
the infant Jesus cried,
the lover of Venus was being mourned.”

Anunnaki’s words used in ancient languages:

Worth mentioning here that many Anunnaki names of days and months
were copied and used verbatim in the calendar of many civilizations of the
ancient world. Some are still in use today in Hebrew and Arabic.

For example:

a-The Anunnaki’s name of the month/spring (March–April) “Niy-

San” is “Nissan” in both Hebrew and Arabic;
b-The Anunnaki’s word “Tish-rin” became “Tishrei” in Hebrew,
and “Tishrin” in Arabic (The tenth and eleventh months of the
Gregorian calendar.)
c-The Anunnaki “Adahr” became the name of the month of March
“Adar” in Hebrew, and “Adar” in spoken Arabic and “Azar” in
literary (Written language) Arabic.
d-The Anunnaki’s word “Tammuz” is:
1- “Tammuz” in Tiberian;
2-“Tammuz” in Hebrew;
3-“Temmouz” (Tammouz) in Arabic;
4-“Tamuz” in Gregorian;
5-“Temmouzz” in Levantine Arabic;
6-“Dummuz-id” in Sumerian;
7-“Tamuz” in Babylonian. It became the 10th month of the
Hebrew calendar.

Ahat was a Phoenician hero, and a gift from god El to King Daniel who
adopted him as his son.
Ahat was given a celestial bow made out of circular horns.
Anat (A Syrian, Canaanite and Phoenician goddess of earth) was attracted
to the bow, but Ahat refused to give her his bow. She got mad, and sent her
attendant Yatpan, to kill Ahat.
Ahat was killed, and his bow was lost during his struggle with Yaptan.

Anath
________________________
Anath: Phoenician. Noun.
Name of the Phoenician, Syrian, and Canaanite virgin goddess of earth and
grain.
Anath was responsible for the death of Ahat, the Phoenician hero; a
descendant from the Anunnaki, and a gift from god El to King Daniel who
adopted him as his son.
Phoenician mythology tells us that El was supposed to have gone out to sea
and asked two Goddesses, one presumably being Athirat and the other
possibly Anath to choose between being his spouses or being his daughters.
They chose the former.
Their offspring are Shaher and Shalem, the morning and evening stars, from
which Lucifer, an Anunnaki Sinhar, the light-bearer, took his name.
Mot (Death; same meaning and pronounciation in Hebrew, Phoenician,
Arabic, Aramaic, and other languages), the next offspring, who is lord of
the underworld and the barren season defeated Ba'al, thus enraging Ba'al's
consort Anath. When Mot refused to revive Ba'al, Anath killed him and
dismembered him, scattering his remains all over the land.

Anat was identified with Hathor.

The Egyptians associated Anat with Astarte, as daughter of the god Ra
(Meaning the sun).
Several Egyptian monarchs, including Pharaoh Ramses III (ruled 1198-
1166 B.C.) used Anat and Hathor as their divine protectors in war, and
depicted them on their shields.
Ulema Al Kabir stated that Anat, Anna, and Astarte were a poetic
illustration or representation of an Anunnaki female Sinhar.
Some have said that Anat was one of the physical attributes of Innasharma,
another Anunnaki female leader.

 Dido “Didon”

Dido “Didon” is the name of the Phoenician princess from Tyre who
established Carthage in Tunis. She was also called Elisha.

Dido and the Anunnaki in Carthage:

When Dido landed in Tunisia, the Anunnaki gods instructed her to build a
shrine to Uttu. Dido asked the Anunnaki: “Lords, how can I build a shrine if
I don’t own a land?” And the Anunnaki lords instructed her to build
Carthage (Cartaghenna). Then, Dido asked again: “With what? Oh Lords,
the people of the land would not sell me enough land to build a shrine…”
And the Anunnaki lords told her what to do.

Dido
Dido by Pierre Narcisse Guerin (1774-1833).
________________________

Here is the fascinating story (never told before) of how Dido acquired
enough land to build a temple for the Anunnaki. It goes like this: A 9th
century B.C. Phoenician tablet discovered among the ruins of the ancient
Phoenician city of Carthage in Tunis contained a passage mentioning trade
of goods and commerce exchanged between the Hyksos (Ancestors of the
Armenians) and the Phoenicians who shared many enemies in common
such as the Assyrians and the Babylonians.
The inscriptions on the tablet were written in the early form of the
Phoenician-Aramaic alphabet widely used back then in the court of Persia,
Egypt, Israel/Palestine, Syria and among many Semitic tribes.
The Phoenician passage referred to the Phoenicians and Armenians trade of
raisins with the Greeks and the Romans.
Three different kinds of grapes were mentioned:
1. The Muscats,
2. The Sultanas,
3. The Currants, which were very popular in the Mediterranean basin and in
the Middle East.

The death of Dido.

Around 1100-1200 B.C., the Phoenicians and the Armenians began colonial
vineyards in Europe and Asia Minor.
The Phoenicians started their vineyards colony in Corinth (Macedonia),
Malaga and Valencia (Spain), while the Armenians began theirs in Turkey
and Iraq.
Those colonies had the perfect climate for growing grapes and were
conveniently located to facilitate a global trade.
It is well documented that, the Phoenicians and the Armenians were the
world’s first viticulture experts.
Another segment of the passage tells us about the story of Elissa, princess
of Tyre who became queen of Tyre in the 9th century B.C., and the murder
of her husband on the hands of Pygmalion, her brother.
Horrified, queen Elissa departs from Tyre and heads toward Tunis. Upon
her arrival to the new lands of Tunisia, Elissa asked for an asylum. The
natives told her that she can stay on a piece of land not bigger or wider than
an area which can be covered or “measured” by the skin of a cow! Elissa
had no cows.
So, very cleverly, she asked the natives if she could use a small piece of a
lace instead.
It is not difficult for any one of us to guess what was the reaction or the
answer of the natives. Without hesitation, they granted her their approval.
Elissa asked them again whether the land must be totally covered by this
very small piece of lace or measured by it. And the natives replied that she
is free to use any method she prefers. To them, it did not make any sense or
any difference, for this very small piece of lace she is holding in her hands
will not cover or take the space of more than 10 inches of a dry land.
And Elissa began the most ingenious topographic and geodesic task of all
time.
She took the Armenian piece of lace and began to loosen up each knot, one
by one, until she undone all of it. Dido managed to get an extremely very
long stretched thread exceeding 4 kilometers in length which she placed on
the ground in the form of an Anunnaki’s circle, thus marking the borders of
her new land.
Elissa got her land and built a temple for the Anunnaki and Melkart.
And from 4 kilometers, Elissa expanded her tiny land to become the
legendary city of Carthage.
The Anunnaki were pleased and changed her name to Didoon, meaning the
Princess-Goddess.
Worth mentioning that the great Hannibal was from Carthage, a direct
descendant of Dido.
Didoon ended her life tragically by committing suicide to avoid marrying a
local prince.

Eshmun the Sydyk

Eshmun was the god of the Phoenician city of Sidon, and god of health and
healing. According to Sanchuniathon, Eshmun was known in his days as
“Eshmun the Sydyk”, a personification of a super-being, an offspring of the
Anunnaki.
In Phoenician and Arabic as well, the word Sydyk means the just, or the
truthful. And the word Sydk means the truth. The Greeks identified him
with Asclepius. His symbolic attributes were a snake rolling on a rod and
also a snake biting its own tail, making
a circle, symbol of eternity, power feeding on itself.

 Tau, “Taw”, “Taautus”
___________________________

Tau, “Taw”, “Taautus”: Phoenician/Greek. Noun.

In the Phoenician Cosmogony, Taautus is a Greek-Phoenician name of a
god from Byblos, who invented the alphabet, and became synonymous with
the Egyptian Tehuti and the Greek Hermes.
The Egyptians called him Thoth, and he was represented among them as
"the god of letters, the clerk of the under-world," bearing a tablet, pen, and a
palm-branch.
Taautus descended on Earth to teach mankind, arts, literature and science.
As Enoch, he gave the Hebrews their Torah and the Alexandrians their
Corpus Hermeticum.
In Islam he was the noble Idris, the companion of the Prophet Mohammad.
The Phoenician Sanchoniathon, the world’s earliest historian wrote that
knowledge and wisdom on earth began with the Phoenician God Taautus, in
the Phoenician city of Byblos, (Today, Jbeil). God Taautus invented the first
written alphabet, by inspiration from the gods who came to earth from the
heavens. Sanchoniathon did exist, and his writings and accounts are
historically authoritative and documented.
Bishop Eusebius mentioned Sanchoniathon and his many writings about the
Genesis, the creation of the world, planet Earth, and the first man and
woman on earth, and their descendants, the early human beings “intelligent
animals” in his book “Caesarea Praeparatio”.
And to back up his statements, Bishop Eusebius used the historian Philo as
reference and source.
In the first two pages of the introduction of his book, Eusebius wrote:
“These things being so, Sanchuniathon, who was a man of learning,
wisdom and great curiosity, and desirous of knowing the earliest history of
all nations from the creation of the world, searched out with great care the
history of Taautus, knowing that of all men under the sun Taautus was the
first who thought of the invention of letters, and began the writing of
records…and he laid the foundation, as it were, of his history, by beginning
with him, whom the Egyptians called Thoyth, and the Alexandrians Thoth,
translated by the Greeks as Hermes.”
 Tauutus as the Egyptian Thoth.
___________________________________

The historian Philo in his work, recognized Sanchoniathon as the world’s

first writer of the original story of the Genesis, and the creation of the
universe, earth and mankind. The writing of Sanchoniathon are accepted by
historians, cosmologists and linguists as the world’s first records of the
history of religions, ancient world, the chronicles of earth and the creation
of the human race, long time before the accounts of Abraham and Moses
were either fabricated, written or orally transmitted to the Hebrews, to the
Christians and to the rest of the world.

It is in Tyre that Hiram created the first order of Freemasons with the

The Western statement claiming that Freemasonry was created in Europe is
false, said Anunnaki-Ulema Napthali ben Yacob. He added that the world’s
first Masonic Lodge was called “Hiram Lodge”. The admittance rules were
originally established by the Anunnaki-Ulema Masters in Phoenicia.
The Ulema group or brotherhood (Not the primordial Society or Circle) was
created during the time of Hiram, the Phoenician King of Tyre and King
Solomon’s ally.
The group included astronomers, physicians, mathematicians, artists,
scientists, spiritual guides, metaphysicists, philosophers, authors, and
lecturers from Sumer, Babylon, Assyria, Phoenicia, Syria, Palestine, Israel,
Egypt, China, Mongolia, and Greece.
Later on in history, leading figures of the Knights of St John of Malta, The
Templars, The Wise Men of Arwad, and Hiram-Grand Orient Masonic
Rites’ members joined the Ulema group.

97% of the Bible is pure fabrication, and almost 95% of the major Biblical
stories are copied from Phoenician, Ugaritic, Syrian-Canaanite,
Mesopotamian and Egyptian myths, poems, texts and stories, written
centuries before the Bible was crafted.

Although the Bible is a majestic and a superb piece of literature nourished

with wisdom, and conveying remarkable ethical and moral messages and
lessons, the Bible is by no means, the word of God, or an original Hebraic
work. And beyond the shadow of a doubt, Yahweh (Jehovah) is a recast,
and an amalgam of pagans’ gods ; the gods of Mesopotamia, Phoenicia and
Ugarit.

Numerous historians, archaeologists, linguists, scholars and anthropology’s

forensic scientists agree that the Bible’s most formidable and colorful
stories such as the Tower of Babel, Genesis, Adam and Eve, Garden of
Eden, and the Great Flood (To name a few) were taken from
Mesopotamian, Ugaritic, Phoenician, Canaanite, Egyptian, Assyrian,
Akkadian, and Chaldean myths, and epics recorded on ancient clay tablets
and slabs, centuries before the Bible was written, and the name and the
presence of God , or more exactly one God, were known to the
Israelites/Early Hebrews.

In fact, the name of God “Yahweh”, his attributes and extraordinary

(Supernatural) powers and deeds were borrowed from pagans’ gods; gods
the Israelites worshiped before they “created” their own god “Yahweh”,
who centuries later, became the God of the Christians and the Muslims.
So is it fair and logical to assume that we are worshiping a “Pagans’ God”
or more precisely an amalgam of mythical gods? You bet!

*** *** ***

 Striking similarities between so many Mesopotamian and Phoenician
epics-stories and the Jewish Bible’s stories.
_______________________________

Similarityin the real name of God.

Allah’s terminology. Yahweh was a common Phoenician name:

86% of Americans think that “Allah” is the god of the Muslims, and
“Allah” is not the god of the Christians; the Judeo-Christian God, that is.
Those 86% are 100% wrong!! “Allah” is an Arabic word; a term meaning
the creator of the universe and mankind.
“Allah” also is a Christian word! Really?
Of course! Because the word “Allah” was used some 656 years before the
Prophet Mohammad was born and before Islam came to life.

“Allah” is an Arabic word used by Arabs who were NOT Muslims, but
Christians who lived in the Arab world, in the Arab Peninsula, in North
Africa, in the Near East, and in the Middle East, long longtime before
Arabs were converted to Islam, and years and years and years before the
birth of Mohammad, and the establishment of the Islamic religion. The
word “Allah” was used by the Eastern Christian priests, monks, hermits,
and in the Christian mass of the Lebanese Maronites, the Egyptian Copts,
the Syrian and Iraqi Syriac and Asshurian, the Roum, the Catholic literature
and liturgy.
Even today, and as we speak, all Christian Arabs (To name a few:
Maronites, Orthodox, Roum, Syriac, Copts, Assyrians, Armenians-
Assyrians, Lebanese Armenian Syriac, and additional 13 different Christian
denominations) have used and still use “Allah” as the one and only word for
God.

So, “Allah” is a Christian Arabic word adopted by the Prophet Mohammad,

the Koran, the Islamic religion, and the Muslims worldwide. However,
Allah as a term, as a personage (creator of the universe), and as a Christian
word for the creator of the universe and maker of the human race was not
created by the early Christian Arabs either; they took it from the Aramaic
word “Allah”, and from the Phoenician “El”, “Baal-El”.
And so did the Hebrews and so many other civilizations and religions
throughout the centuries. The Jewish-Hebrew-Judaic-Israelite Jehovah-
Yahweh (Yahweh-Elohim) was the Phoenician god “El”, “El-Baal”, “Baal
Hadad”, also called Yaw, Yehaw, and Yehi in Phoenician…and also was the
Anunnaki-Sumerian god “El-Enki or Ea”.

The Phoenician “El” became “Eli” in Aramaic. And Jesus on the cross
before relinquishing his last breath, called his heavenly father “Eli”.
On the cross, Jesus said: “Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani”, or “Eloi, Eloi,
lema sabachthani”; Matthew: "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani”, that is to say,
“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (xxvii, 46). Mark: "Eloi,
Eloi, lama sabachthani”, which is being interpreted, “My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me?" (xv, 34.) The Hebrews too, used the
Phoenician word “EL” as “Eli”. The plural of Eli (In Aramaic and Hebrew)
is Elohim (My Gods, my Lords, and my Masters). The Arabs obliged, and
the Christian and Muslim Arabs transformed “El” into: Elahi, Ilahi, Allah.
All came from the same ancient origin/source: Phoenician, and later,
Aramaic. Historians, theologians and linguists agree. But what many
priests, preachers, rabbis and sheiks are hiding from you – and most
probably misleading you - is the origin, the primordial name and nature of
the true God who became the god of their religion, and who replaced “El”,
the first god, early humans came to know, meet, discover, fear and obey!

The Phoenician source:

While it was/is forbidden to pronounce the name of Yahweh in Judaism -

and at least out of religious courtesy in modern Jewish tradition- Yahweh
was a common name in Phoenicia, and especially in Byblos, Batroun,
Sidon, Ras Shamra, Nakoura, Tyre, and Ugarit. And it was written and
pronounced in various ways, such as:
a-Yehi,
b-Yehaw,
c-Yehar,
d-Yah,
e-Yehu.

Many Phoenician males were called Yahweh-this, or Yahweh-that. And a

few Phoenician kings used Yahweh as part of their first names, such as:
a-Yehaw-milk,
b-Yehar-baal.
For instance, in 1929, a 10th century B.C. inscription on an ancient
Phoenician building built by Yehimilk, king of Byblos was found and
contained the following: “May the assembly of the gods of Byblos, the king
of Byblos, and Baal-shamem prolong the life of Yehi-milk…”
On another fragment of the tablet (Or slab), a passage reads as follows: “I
am Yehaw-milk, the king of Byblos, the son of Yeh-ar-baal…”
Note: The name Yehi-milk is a very old word composed of two parts:
a-Yehi,
b-Milk, which means king.
From the Phoenician word “Milk”, derived the Arabic and Hebrew word
Malik/Malak, which also means king.
Not to confuse Malak with Malaak, which means angel in Hebrew, Aramaic
and Arabic. Worth mentioning here that the words/names Yaw, Yeuo and
Yaw, which gave birth to the word/name Yahweh were also found on an
ancient Phoenician coin in Gaza, made during the Persian Period.

The coin had a Phoenician inscription and the image of the Phoenician sea
god, then, called Yaw. Numerous historians and archaeologists have argued
that the image on the Phoenician coin is indeed the image of the Hebrew
Yahweh.
Additional findings revealed that the word Yahweh was used and
pronounced differently by the Phoenicians throughout the centuries. For
instance, Yehi-milk was frequently used in the 10th century B.C., while
Yehaw-milk was used in the 5th and the 4th centuries B.C., in various regions
of Phoenicia and Syria (The Canaanite Land).
Numerous Sumerologists and Assyriologists believe that Yah (Referring to
Yahweh) originated from the Assyro-Babylonian word “Ya’u”, which was
the name of an Assyrian-Babylonian god, and later in history, the words
“Ya’u” and “Yah” were written as ”Jah” in Mesopotamian epics, poems,
and myths. While a greater number of linguists and historians argued that
“Ya’u” was an alternative name and a Mesopotamian pronunciation of the
Phoenician word “Yau” and/or “Wau”.

The Jewish Bible (Old Testament) confirmed that Yahweh was called Baal
(Name of a Phoenician god) by some Israelites. From Hosea 2:16: “And in
that day, says the Lord, you will call me, 'My Husband,' and no longer will
you call me, 'My Ba'al.' For I will remove the names of the Ba'als from her
mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more.”

In conclusion, Yahweh-Elohim, the God of Israel who became the god of

the Christians and Muslims, absorbed the names, attributes, descriptions,
epithets, and the glorious feats of the gods of Mesopotamia and Canaan,
who were his rivals, and became the subject and theme of Israel’s prophets
hysterical attacks on Phoenicia and Ugarit’s gods.

The history of ancient religions of the Middle East and the Near East
revealed that Yahweh-Elohim was a colorful amalgam of earlier pagans’
gods, centuries before the Jewish Bible was written. The Israelite Yahweh is
de facto, a recast/replica of Yaw, Bel, Baal of the Phoenician-Ugartic myths,
and other Anunnaki gods.
Yahweh was already a holy name used in Canaanite literature, centuries
before the Mosaic epoch. Yahweh is a combination of the traits and
attributes of Yaw/Yam/Baal of the Phoenician-Ugaritic Myths (1500-1200
B.C.) and Babylon’s Anuna, thousands of years before the Hebraic
monotheistic religion was established.
The Hebraic scribes and writers of the Old Testament fused the Ugaritic El
(Bull-El), Yaw and Baal together into the new image of Yahweh-Elohim of
the Jewish Bible.

The Phoenician words “Yehaw”, “Yehi”, “Yaw”, and “Yeuo” are the
origin of the Hebrew words “Yah”, “Yahu”, and “Yahweh”.
_____________________________
The Phoenician name Yehaw-milk, which was also used as Yehi, Yehaw,
and Yehar which meant "Yehaw is king", as well as the name of the
Phoenician/Canaanite sea-god Yaw or Yeuo gave birth to the Hebrew words
Yah, Yahweh and Yahu.

The image of Yaw/Yeuo which was found on a ancient coin from Gaza,
made during the Persian period of Greek artifact and craftsmanship, was in
fact, the first historical image of the Hebrew God, Yahweh; a god, the
Phoenicians worshipped under the name of Yehi-milk (10th century B.C.)
and Yehaw-milk (5th/4th century B.C.) As soon as the Israelites destroyed
the Canaanites (Syrians and Phoenicians), they ascribed all the mighty and
supernatural attributes, powers, and glory of the Canaanite and
Mesopotamian gods to their own and newly created “GOD” Yahweh.
And Yahweh became the one and only true god, not Baal, El, or Bel. And
afterward, Christianity and Islam used the same scenario. To the Christians,
Jesus became God.
And to the Muslims, Allah became the one and only god, not Jesus, Yaw,
Yahweh, Baal or Bel.

The absolute truth is that the newly created Hebrew god “Yahweh” is de
facto, an amalgam of the Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Hittite, and Canaanite
(Syrian and Phoenician) gods and goddesses.
Linguists, theologians and historians of religions, easily recognized the new
divine persona and attributes given to Yahweh by the Hebrews, simply by
comparing the new Hebrew’s attributions to their god, with the old epithets
and attributes of gods Baal Saphon (Baal Hadad), El, Seth, Sopdu,
Shamash, Tammuz, Anu, Enki, and Enlil.
If you compare the epithets and attributes of the Anunnaki god Marduck
with those of Yahweh and Allah, you will find out that they are almost
identical.
Marduck had 50 to 90 titles.
Allah has “99 Asma’ Al Lah Al-Housna”, which means the 99 noble
names of Allah, and Yahweh is no exception.

Israelites bore the name of the Phoenician god Baal.

It is a fact that a considerable number of the early Israelites bore the name
of God Baal, as did and still do, people from neighboring countries, and
even in Latin America, through out the centuries.
Millions of Muslims have as a first name “Mohammad”, which is the name
of the Prophet Mohammad. In Latin America, the tradition continues to the
present day; there are hundreds of thousands of men who are called Jesus.
So, it is not unconceivable that some Israelites bore the name of Phoenician
deities such as Baal. Sons of Saul, the first king of Israel were called Baal.
And as told by Hosea, Yahweh was also called Baal. But the trend of
naming Israelites Baal ceased when Israel waged a war against the Ugaritic
and Phoenicians when the Hebrew prophets and scribes began to feel the
direct threat of the Phoenician religion to their Judaism and Hebraic
religion, between 1200 and 587 B.C.

Appearances of the word Yahweh outside and before the Bible was
written (To name a few).

The word Yahweh and its divine elements were found:

1-In inscriptions on Ramesses III's temple in Medinet Habu, which
contained the words Yah-wa and Yi-ha, which scholars and linguists have
associated these 2 Syrian words with the Hebrew word Yah-weh, circa 1400
B.C.

2-On the list of Rameses II, which was discovered in an ancient Nubian
temple in Amara (Amarah). Number of listing: 93-98.

3-In the Canaanite inscription “Yah of Gat” on an ewer from the late Bronze
Age, which was found in the ruins of a temple at Lachish.

4-On the “Stele of Mesh’a”, Anet 320 (9th century).

5-An archaeological excavation which revealed the names of Aramean

princes from the 8th B.C., which contained the element Yau, and which was
occasionally pronounced Yah.

6-In an ostracon from Kuntillet Ajrud 246, from the 8th century.
7-In the Egyptian list of names of places, which was discovered in Amon
temple of Amenhotep III, located in Soleb in Nubia.

8-In the Adad and Lachish letters, Anet, 569, 322, from the 6th century.

9-In the Murashu archives from the reign of Artaxerxes and Darius,
discovered at Nippur, and which contained the word Ja-a-ma (Jawa), which
is associated with the divine element of Yahweh.

10-In an ancient Egyptian clay tablet referring to Ahi-Jami, the mayor of

Ta’anach in Canaan. Ahi-Jami was also pronounced and written as Ahi-ja
and Ahi-Yah; two names closely related to the divine status of Yahweh, at
the time it was referred to and written as Ja-mi (Yah-mi). Said tablet can be
found in the archives of the Museum of Cairo.

11-In an archeological find referring to Sa-rar (Also known as Seir in

Edom) which historians and archaeologists have associated Yahweh with
Seir and Paran.

12-In the lists of Egyptian names which contained the name and location of
an ancient site in Syria, called Yah-wa, Number’s reference 97.

13-Three Amorite tablets displayed at the British Museum in 1908, which

contained “Yaum-ilu”, “Ya'we-ilu”, and “Yawe-ilu”, referring to the three
ancient forms of the primordial name of Yahweh as ‘Jahweh is God”. Worth
noting here that “Yah”, corresponds to the Biblical “Jah” of Psalm 114:35.
There is no doubt that the first component of “Ya'wa-ilu” is the name of
Yahweh.

14-In the list of names at Mari, from the second millennium B.C., and
Yahweh appeared as an Amorite name under Yahwi.
15-In Assyrian records: In the annals of Tiglathpileser III which included
the name of Azri-Yau, who was a Syrian king.
We should keep in mind that Yahweh was worshiped in Syria and Phoenicia
and not just in Israel. And it was customary for Canaanite kings to have
Yahwehistic names, especially in the first millennium B.C. Yahwehistic
names also appeared during the reign of Sargon II.
In fact, numerous Assyrian texts and records included those names and their
elements. One of those names mentioned in the Assyrian records was Yau-
bidi, a ruler of Hamath.

16-In the Mari archives from the second millennium B.C. (circa 18th
century B.C.) which contained names of Amorites known to be Yahweh’s
names, such as: Yawiya, Yawidim, Yawium, Yawiila, Yawid, Yausib, and
Yawi. Worth mentioning here, the derivation and relation of Yahweh,
Yausib, Yaahwi and Yaahwi, and their causative verbal forms. Yaah-wi
derived from the Ugaritic and Phoenician word “hwy”, which also appeared
as “hyw” in Ethiopian, and as “hyy” in Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew, and
meant “be, to be, to become, and to give life.”

However, if could also mean “to appear, to be present, and to manifest”

taken into consideration the definition and meaning of the word “yahwi”
(yaahwi) in Amorite.
The two similar sentences in Amorite and archaic Phoenician-Proto
Ugaritic “Yaahwi ilum” and “Yahwi ilu” mean the god who manifests
himself. The word “ilu” and related elements were concurrently used as
“el”, “il”, “eli”, “Ilum” (Akkadian), in Phoenician, Ugaritic, Hebrew and
even Arabic, since the Arabic words “Ilahi” (My god), “Ilah” (God) and
“Alaah” were used in ancient and modern Arabic. Yawi (Ya-wi) is
obviously a variant of “Yaah-wi (Ya-ah-wi). Grosso modo, it is
epistemologically based upon “hwy”, which is associated with the
Akkadian “ewu”, the Aramaic “hwh” and “hwy”.

17-In the letter sent by Iawa-ila “Iawi-Ilâ”, the Syrian king of Tal-hayum to
Zimri-lim king of Mari (circa1782-1759 B.C.) Note: The element “iawi” of
the Amorite names and the Hebrew god’s name originated from the same
root, and was considered a divine name in both Hebrew and Amorite
languages.
The Amorite names “Iawi-Ila”, “Iawi Abdu”, “Iahwi-Nasi”, and “Iwahi-
Sibu” also appeared in the “Mari Archives”. God Nasi is a form of the word
“Malik” (King). The word or term “Nasi” in archaic Hebrew is closely
associated with “Elohim” (God/Gods). Numerous Orientalists,
Assyriologists and Sumerologists have suggested that Yahweh should be
rendered ya'wa.

18-On the 10th century B.C. inscription on an ancient Phoenician building

built by Yehimilk (Yehi-milk), king of Byblos, which was discovered in
1929.

19-In late old Babylonian Texts (circa 1800-1600 B.C.) where several
Amorite personal names were mentioned with a “yawi” element, such as
Yawium, the King of Kish (Modern day Tall al-Uhaymir), a contemporary
of Abraham who lived nearby.
Numerous scholars, Assyriologists and linguists agreed that the form
“yawi” of Mari Archives (circa 1800-1700 B.C) and “Yawium” of Kish
(circa 1800-1600 B.C.) among other texts from Ur and Babylon which
clearly mentioned all the elements and epistemological derivations of Yah-
weh, retrace the origin of the Hebrew word/name Yahweh and Yahwehism.
And since Abraham who lived around 1800-1600 B.C. in that part of the
world, it is logical to conclude that he learned about a god called Yahweh,
and about “Yawi” and consequently borrowed the names and added his
Biblical twist upon.

 The origins of Yahwehism.
___________________________

The origins of Yahwehism are not found in the Sinai Desert-Negeb as

falsely claimed by the scribes of the Old Testament. It is proven by
archaeology, forensic anthropology, and philology that Yahwehism
originated in, and from the Phoenician cities of Ugarit and Mari in Syria,
and Ur of the Chaldees/Sumer.

The Israelites/Hebrews admitted that their ancestors were

Arameans/Syrians. Deuteronomy 26:5 “And thou shalt speak and say
before the Lord thy God: ‘A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he
went down into Egypt and sojourned there with a few, and became there a
nation, great, mighty, and populous.” Other translation: Deuteronomy 26:5
(CEB “Common English Bible”): “Then you should solemnly state before
the Lord your God: My father was a starving Aramean. He went down to
Egypt, living as an immigrant there with few family members, but that is
where he became a great nation, mighty and numerous.”
In the Pentateuch, the Hebrew scribes fused two separate and totally
different stories and historical origins of two periods:
a-The Bronze Age Canaanite
b-The Iron Age Aramean.

In 560 B.C., the Hebrew scribes who wrote the story of the Exodus (2
Kings 25:27) were totally ignorant of the fact that their “Newly named and
discovered” Yahweh, existed already under similar or quasi-similar names
in much older scriptures, texts and stories from the Bronze Age, and
Yahweh’s attributes were taken from the attributes and epithets of the gods
of Ugarit, Mari, Sumer, Egypt and other regions of Canaan, such as Enki of
Mesopotamia, Baal-Zephon of the Hyksos, Baal-Hadad, and Bel of Ugarit,
Tyre, Sidon and Byblos, and Seth of Egypt.
“The Anunnaki god, Enki survived, if at all, in new guises, under different
names...If Enki and his city-state had all but disappeared, literary traditions
and religious syncretism kept something of them alive.
The two traditions that formed the basis of Western civilization, Greek and
Biblical, appear to know stories of Enki, in much disguised form. In one
sense we are very much the inheritors of civilization in its early, Sumerian
forms; but in another sense we will always have a difficult time recognizing
such early debts.”-From “Traces of the Fugitive God. p.154”, and “Myths
of Enki, the Crafty God” by Samuel Noah Kramer and John Maier. Oxford
University Press. 1989.

Similarity in worship:
Hathor, The Lady of Byblos and the worship of the Golden Calf and
Yahweh.

The Egyptian Hathor which appeared seated on a large Egyptian throne was
in fact The Phoenician Lady of Byblos who was associated with the sun in
Phoenicia, and who later gave birth to the imagery of the cow-sky-goddess
in Egypt.
She was depicted as a golden calf and was worshipped at her shrines at
Byblos, Har Timna in Arabah, and Serabit el Khadim in the southern part of
the Sinai Desert. The early Hebrews at one time worshiped their God
Yahweh as a Golden Calf.
It is obvious that the Jewish worship of the Golden Calf was inspired by
Egyptian-Phoenician worship of Hathor-The Lady of Byblos and Canaanite
rituals.

*** *** ***

Similarity in deity’s imagery: Phoenicia was the original source for the
Hebrew Yahweh’s imagery in the Bible and the “Cherubim Throne”.

The Phoenician gods seated on the winged sphinx thrones of Byblos

(Identical to the Anunnaki-Sumerian thrones) were the prototypes of
Yahweh's Cherubim throne in the Temple of Jerusalem.
The Hebrews transmuted the sphinx into angels (Cherubim). As a matter of
fact, the early Hebrew Cherubim were depicted as humans with the heads of
winged sphinxes. According to 1 Sam 4:4, Yahweh, the God of Israel was
“He who sitteth (on) the cherubim.” In addition, many Phoenician kings
(Messengers of the Gods) were depicted as divine monarchs seated on a
large stone or marble throne (Circa 1200-800 B.C.) supported on each side
by cherubim, and found in Megiddo, Byblos (Modern day Jbeil), Hamath
and Tyre (Modern day Sour).
The most famous throne belonged to King Hiram of Phoenicia seated on a
cherub throne. Yahweh also sat on a cherub throne.

*** *** ***

Similarity in Yahweh-Elohim and the Phoenician-Ugaritic Bull-Gods

and the golden calves.

Short after the alleged apparition of Yahweh-Elohim to Moses at Mt. Sinai

as a thundercloud, a Hebraic golden calf was fashioned in a Phoenician
style. Apparently, there is a connection between the Phoenician “Calf” and
the Israelites’ reason for fashioning their own golden calf.
At that time in history, the Hebrew god was depicted as “Bull-Calf” in the
image of the Phoenician, Ugaritic and Hyksos gods, Bull-El, and Baal-
Hadad of the Bronze Age. The “Bull” image or at least the “Bull” symbol
played a paramount role in the early Hebrew Scriptures and beliefs.
This, became evident and unquestionable when the Hebrews used the
Hyksos-Ugaritic Bull (Baal-Hadad) as symbol for their escape from Egypt.

*** *** ***

Similarity in Tiamat, the Genesis and the Deep.

Many of the Phoenician and Ugaritic myths and poems are a

“reconstruction” and an adaptation of much older Mesopotamian poems and
myths and vice versa. And the early Hebrew scribes have read those stories
and added their colorful literary twist, in order to create their own Biblical
stories.
For instance, The Sumerian and Akkadian clay tablets depicted Tiamat as
the symbol of the salty water.
The Phoenicians associated the water (In reference to Tiamat) with
“Tehom”, which means the deep.
And The Hebrews associated their god Yahweh-Elohim with the “Tehom”
at the very beginning of the Genesis. The Phoenicians copied the
Mesopotamians. The Mesopotamians copied the Phoenicians. And the
Hebrews copied both the Mesopotamians and the Phoenicians.

*** *** ***

Similarity in the thundercloud imagery.

The sons of the Phoenician god Bull-El were born as bull-calves according
to the Phoenician mythology. And one of his sons, the great god Baal-
Hadad (Also known as Adad) is quite often depicted as a huge bull with
sparkling lightning bolts surrounded by thunderclouds called the calves of
Adad.

The thunderclouds, the heavy cloud, the thick darkness and the loud voice
were the main characteristics of the Phoenician Bull-Gods. The Hebraic
God Yahweh appeared quite often in the form of a thundercloud. And as
described in the Old Testament (The Jewish Bible), at Mount Sinai, Yahweh
appeared to Moses as a “Thundercloud”.
It is obvious that the Biblical thundercloud, and the voice of Yahweh as
thunder were borrowed from a Phoenician mythical imagery. According to
the Epic of Gilgamesh, Baal-Hadad is a god who lives in a thundercloud.
According to Deuteronomy 4:11 and 5:22, Yahweh too lives in a
thundercloud. In addition, the voice of the Phoenician Bull-Gods was
“Thunder”. And so is the voice of the Hebraic god Yahweh: Thunder!

This is not a coincidence, but rather a “copiage” of the much older

Phoenician-Ugaritic-Mesopotamian myths. Deuteronomy 4:11: “And you
came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, while the mountain burned
with fire to the heart of heaven, wrapped in darkness, cloud and gloom.”
Deuteronomy 5:22,23: “These words the Lord spoke to all your assembly at
the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness
with a loud voice...” From the Epic of Gilgamesh, “There rises from the
foundation of the heavens a black cloud. Adad thunders in the midst of
it…”

*** *** ***

Similarity in the word/name of Adam.

The Phoenician-Ugaritic word “Adm” which meant "mankind" was taken

and transformed by the Hebrews into Adam, to refer to the first man created
by Yahweh. Thus, the early Hebrew scribes began to use it as an eponym
for mankind. The new Hebrew word “Adam” was already used by the
Phoenicians, hundreds of years before the Israelites knew who Adam was,
and before they learned about the nature and origin of mankind.

*** *** ***

Similarity in the theme of water and “Tehom”:

We learned from the Babylonian myths and poems that god Ea lives
underneath Earth; a region that floats over the depot (Ocean) of fresh water,
and which is found in the “Apzu”, in the southern area of Babylon.
According to the Mesopotamians, that region was the source and origin of
all the waters on Earth.
And from that region emerged huge quantities of water in forms of streams.
This, made Ea (Enki) the lord (King) of waters, more precisely the “God of
Waters” as described in the Mesopotamian clay tablets. The word Enki is in
fact an attribute, a title, an adjective, because is it composed of 2 words:
a-“En”, which means King or God.
b-“Ki”, which means Earth, as well as the underworld, the underground,
and the land of no return.
Ea sits over a throne of fresh waters.

In the Phoenician and Ugaritic myths, Bull-El or El resides deep inside a

mountain, referred to by the ancient scribes as “Tehom”, which is the source
of the fresh and the salt water of the oceans, exactly as mentioned in the
Anunnaki-Sumerian texts! Thus, the Phoenician god is closely associated
with water, rivers and the sea, similar to Enki who lives in the watery
depths of the Apzu, which also is the source of freshwater rivers and
streams.
In the Bible, Yahweh also sits on a throne of fresh waters.
The throne of Yahweh is placed on the top of stream of sweet and fresh
waters, from the Temple in Jerusalem, all the way to the Dead Sea.

*** *** ***

Similarity in Yahweh fighting the Dragon:

The Mesopotamian clay tablets told us a story of God Marduk who fought
and slaughtered Tiamat the dragon, in order to rule over the world.
In the Phoenician-Ugaritic story of “Baal Cycle”, the Phoenician god Baal-
Hadad fought the Lotan “Tannin” (dragon), the seven headed serpent-
dragon of the sea located at a close proximity to Ugarit and Israel.

The Phoenician-Ugaritic dragon story was very well-known to the Hebrews

who shared their borders with Phoenicia.
In the Jewish Bible, Yahweh fought the sea’s dragon Leviathan.
Isaiah 27:1 “In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword
will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent;
and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.”
Psalm 74:12-14 “Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst
of the earth. Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the
heads of the sea-monsters in the waters. Thou brakest the heads of leviathan
in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the
wilderness.”

The book of Job describes in detail Yahweh’s fight and the fire of the
dragon. Job 41: “Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook? Or press
down his tongue with a cord? Canst thou put a rope into his nose? Or pierce
his jaw through with a hook?
His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the
morning. Out of his mouth go burning torches, And sparks of fire leap
forth. Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, As of a boiling pot and burning
rushes. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth forth from his mouth.”

Unquestionably, the Biblical story of Yahweh fighting the dragon is copied

from the “Baal Cycle”, an Ugaritic story of god Baa-Hadad who fought
against Yam. The 13th century B.C. myth (Story) of the Phoenician god
Baal-Hadad told us that he fought his brother Yam, also called Nahar, to
dominate Earth and to rule over the whole world, while the Jewish story
was written in 586 B.C.
(Note: Some historians have claimed that the Biblical story was written
between 588 and 1200 B.C.)

The Biblical story of the Hebrew God Yahweh fighting Baal-Hadad is

simply a reproduction of chapter two of the Ugaritic myth of Yaw (Yahweh)
fighting against Baal for the domination of Earth. And the Phoenician
dragon mythical story resurfaced once again in the New Testament.
Revelation 13:1 “…and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a
beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns, and seven heads, and on
his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.”-100 CE.

Many of the early Israelites saw Yahweh as a subordinate to the Phoenician

god El. And thus, they equated him with Baal, the Canaanite god they
worshiped, and whose attributes were given to Yahweh. Yahweh was
depicted as a storm-god who ruled over the waters. And Baal too, was a
storm-god who conquered and dominated the waters, symbolized by a sea
serpent and a sea-dragon.
The Psalms described Yahweh conquering and subduing the waters by
destroying Rab and Leviathan the dragons, exactly as did the Phoenician
God Baal who conquered the waters and destroyed the “Tanin”, the sea-
dragon.
Thus, it is obvious that the Story of Yahweh fighting the dragon originated
from the Phoenician story of Baal fighting the dragon.
 *** *** ***

Similarity in Yahweh as father of humanity and divider of nations, and

the Phoenician poem “The Cycle of Baal”:

The Bible portrays Yahweh as the father of mankind. But centuries before
the Hebrews “discovered” God, the Phoenicians called their god “El” (Also
Baal-Hadad) the father of mankind, and his adjective was Ab-Adm.

In Ugaritic and Phoenician languages, Ab means father (Same as in Arabic

and in so many Semite languages).
Adm means man, and linguistically, the word referred to Adam.
In Sumerian and Akkadian, Adam is called Adamu, a word found in the
Mesopotamian myths and literature, centuries before the Hebrew Bible
mentioned this word.
Ironically or coincidentally, the Hebrew word Elohim (Name of the Hebrew
God in a plural form) derived from the Ugaritic and Phoenician word “El”.

It is historically and linguistically proven that the Phoenician god “EL” was
the supreme god for both the early Israelites (Hebrews, Habiru) and the
Phoenicians. In the Phoenician poem “The Cycle of Baal”, El is called the
supreme god, the creator and divider of lands, and Yaw is recognized as the
son of El.
In the Cycle of Baal, as well as on the slab of Adoon (Adon, Adonis) we
read verbatim: “El (Baal) is the supreme god, creator of nations, and Yaw is
the name of my son… El, father of mankind and creator of the world…”

In Deuteronomy, 32:8, Yahweh appears to be a subordinate to El, and tells

us that El-Elyon divided the world (Nations, countries, lands) between his
sons, and the Hebrew Yahweh got the land of Israel as his share. Some
scholars disagree. They claim that Yahweh was first worshiped by the early
Israelites in Edom.
But this claim goes again common sense, historical veracity and recent
archaeological findings.

 The Babylonian story of the Flood and the Biblical account of the
Deluge were mentioned on a tablet from Ugarit:

In 1960, Jean Nougayrol announced to the world, the discovery of a

fragment of an Ugaritic tablet mentioning the Mesopotamian flood. It
contained twenty lines and started with the following:
“When the gods counseled together,
the flood came to the countries.”

The remaining 18 lines were similar to passages from Tablet XI (7th century
B.C.) of the Babylonian Assyrian version from the library of Ashurbanipal
found in Nineveh however a few sections differed from the Ugaritic tablet;
here are some examples: In The Assyro-Babylonian version, Utnapishtim
(The Hebrew Noah) is listening to god Ea, from his house in Shuruppak.
Ea told Utnapishtim about the Flood. In the Ugaritic tablet, Utnapishtim
was not at home, but in the temple Ea who promised to save him and to
grant him immortality.
However, what Ea told Utnapishtim in the Assyro-Babylonian version is
similar to to what it was recorded on the Ugaritic fragmented tablet, and
began in this manner: “Wall, hear!”

*** *** ***

Similarity in the “Cherubim Throne”:

The Phoenician gods were usually depicted as supreme deities seated on

large thrones sculpted as winged sphinx.
The Hebrews reproduced identical representation of Yahweh, as the God of
the universe seated on a throne of angels (Cherubim) which resembled the
Phoenician winged sphinx.

The cherubim throne of Yahweh in the Temple of Jerusalem was a replica

of the Phoenician sphinx thrones of Tyre, Sidon and Byblos. The 18th and
19th centuries excavations of Phoenician and Ugaritic sites and ruins in
Syria and Lebanon and ancient Phoenician artifacts in Iran, unearthed
various styles and shapes of Phoenician gods seated on cherubim thrones.
In 1 Sam 4:4, we read, “He (Yahweh) who sitteth on cherubim.” Worth
adding that the Hebrew image of a god seated on a throne of angels was
similar to the image of a Phoenician king seated on a massive throne
supported by angels, circa 1200 B.C.E, as revealed to us by excavations
conducted in Mediggo, Hamath, Jbeil (Byblos), Sour (Tyre) and Iran
(Persia).
The most famous one is the cherubim throne of Hiram, King of Tyre and
ally of King Solomon.

“Ehyeh asher ehyeh” has no Hebraic origin.

According to the Hebrew texts and interpretation of Talmudic scholars,

ehyeh asher ehyeh (I am that I am) was revealed by Yahweh to Moses at
Mount Sinai. This is false because it is a fabricated speculation which
appeared in a later period.
Phonetically and linguistically, it corresponds to the Babylonian Ea, Aya
and Ayah, closely related to the Anunnaki god Enki. And Abraham and his
father Terah being Arameans who lived in the Ur of the Chaldees in Lower
Mesopotamia, have certainly heard of Ea and Aya, and consequently
changed the words and their meaning to fit and serve their purposes.

The Tetragrammaton YHWH and Ehyeh have no Judaic-Hebraic origin.

They appeared in Ugaritic, Byblian Phoenician, Syrian (Canaanite) and
Moabite literature and texts written many years before the Jewish Bible was
crafted, to name a few:
1-Ea’s declaration to Abraham.
2-As “YW”, which is an archaic Phoenician-Ugaritic divine name, which
appeared in numerous texts and poems found in Ugarit, Tyre and Byblos,
and especially in the poem of Baal-Hadad, and inscriptions found on an
ancient Phoenician edifice in Byblos (Modern day Jbeil) around 1921. And
the primordial meaning was “the passionate one.” Ehyeh asher ehyeh (I am
that I am) is not the name of Yahweh, because its Phoenician
epistemological origin is an attribute.
3-The Akkadian texts as “AWA-tu”, which meant a person who reveals
something important, in other words, a revealer.
4-As yahwa, and as yiha, which is the name of an ancient region in Egypt,
mentioned in two passages from Rameses II-the text from Amara, Rameses
III-the text from the Medinet Habu, and texts from Soleb, Amenhophis.
5-As the names of the Phoenician divinity E-Yu, also pronounced as Ieuh,
Yeuh, Yah.
6-The Egyptian lists included a place called Y-h-wa, which historians,
scholars and linguists identified with Seir.
In summary, the Jewish scholars and linguists failed to explain the
epistemology and etymology of the Teragrammaton.
Even though, they were fully aware that their ancestors of the pre-Mosaic
era used the digrammaton Ya, as an exclamation, and despite the fact that
the early Canaanite and Hebrew names contained the prefix or suffix “Ya”.
It is absolutely clear that in order to create their own “god”, more precisely
a new national Hebraic deity, they had to change “Ya” to Yahweh, and it
was easily done, from Ugaritic, Phoenician, Proto-Palmyrian, ancient
Aramaic and Nabatean, and Syriac to Hebrew. And to add credibility to this
transition, they equated it with the Hebrew verb “Hayah”.
Thus, "Yah-weh" and the verb “Hayah” (to be) were transmuted into a
pseudo Hebrew etymology to offer us a new definition of the
Teragrammaton: “The One Who causes to be”, as well as “He Who brings
things to pass.” And it worked like a charm!!

*** *** ***

Similarity in Daniel.

The Biblical story of Daniel was taken from a north Canaan poem dated
1500 B.C. Several texts were found in Ugarit, Amrit, Egypt, and Byblos
(Modern day Jbeil), and numerous passages referred to Phoenician-Ugaritic
Gods, such as Danel, who was transformed into the Biblical Daniel by the
early Hebrews.
Danel (Prototype-original historic and mythological source of the Biblical
Daniel) is an Ugaritic-Phoenician-Hebrew noun, derived from the archaic
Ugaritic word Dnil, which means just.
Danel was an Ugaritic-Phoenician king, also known as king of the
Haranamites, mentioned in the Aqhat Epic.
In the eyes of his contemporaries, Danel was semi-divine and a sage. He
was known to them as Ghazir and Yadinel, which mean either “God judges”
or “God’s judge”, and as such, he was called the righteous judge who
defends the rights of women, widows and orphans. It is obvious that the
Hebrew Daniel is a copy of the Ugaritic-Phoenician Danel (Dnil).
However many Jewish historians disagree.
 Tablet of the Epic of Danel.

Similarity in Psalms, 18, 19, 147-148 and Babylonian Hymn of Bel.

In this hymn to god Bel (Enlil in Sumerian) of Nippur, the Babylonian

scribe (Poet) acknowledged the supreme power of his god as a “Creator
God”, a god with “Power to restore life”, a “God of heavens, plants and
everything on Earth”, and as a “Shepherd”; attributes and descriptions
given to Yahweh in Biblical texts.

 Similarity in Keret’s bride and Sarai:

The Phoenician Ugarit Epic of Keret told us the story of the capture of a
bride of King Keret’s bride by another king.This myth later became the
Helen of Troy’s story, as well as the story of Abraham’s wife Sarai who was
taken by the Pharaoh.
Genesis 12:10-20. Genesis10: “Now there was a famine in the land, and
Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was
severe.
Genesis 11: “As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I
know what a beautiful woman you are.”
Genesis 12: “When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’
Then they will kill me but will let you live.”
Genesis 13: “Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your
sake and my life will be spared because of you.”
Genesis 14-15: “When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai
was a very beautiful woman. And when Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they
praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace.”
Genesis 16: “He (The Pharaoh) treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram
acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female
servants, and camels.”
Genesis 17: “But the Lord inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his
household because of Abram’s wife Sarai.”
Genesis 18: “So Pharaoh summoned Abram. “What have you done to me?”
he said. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?”
Genesis 19: “Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be
my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!”
Genesis 20: “Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they
sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.

Similarity in the story of Samson:

The story of Samson was taken from the Babylonian and Canaanite story of
Shamash, the sun god. It is not by any means a Hebraic story, since it is
found in many mythologies, and most notably in the Oedipus story.
Samson was almost identical to the Greek Herakles. Some linguists have
suggested that the word Samson derived from the Hebrew word “Shemesh”.
But we know very well that the Hebrew word “Shemesh” derived from the
Sumero-Akkadian “Shamash”.
And the archaic Ugaritic word “Shem” or “Shema”, which mean sun. The
word/name "Samson" was a very common name in the lands of Canaan. As
a matter of fact, the name Samson appeared on 14th century B.C. Ugaritic
slabs, unearthed in 1929 in Ugarit. And a Phoenician-Ugaritic coin was
found in Ugarit (Syria) and Tell Qasile (Palestine) bearing the face and
name of Samson with an inscription in an ancient Byblos script.

 For the Record

Lili, Lilit

Lili, Lilit, Lilith

The mythical Phoenician goddess Lilit with bird features in the center, has
been identified with Lilith. 2,000-1600 B.C. Isin Larsa. Old Babylonian
period. Hematite. Cylinder seal. Mesopotamia.
_______________________________________

Lili, “Lilit”, “Lilith”: Phoenician/Hebrew. Lilitu in Old

Babyblonian/Mesopotamian.

Lilith is probably one of the most maligned entities in the Judeo-Christian

mythology, and the myriad legends about her demonic nature, attacks on
children, evil sexual designs on men and intent to hurt women, especially
new mothers, would not endear her to anyone.
None of these have any basis in reality.
She has often been confused with Aruru, an Anunnaki who was involved in
the creation of the seven prototypes of early humans. But like the other
legends regarding Lilith, it is totally untrue. Since in Hebrew the name
Lilith can be interpreted as an owl, she was sometimes associated with the
Greek Goddess Athena, whose personal animal was the owl.
But this is completely unrelated and coincidental.
Her name, in reality, is associated with the flowering tree Lilac, and with
another unidentified blue and fragrant flower that opens only when the
temperature, moisture level, and light are perfect. It was said that she was
Adam’s first wife, and that she refused to stay with him, defying God and
the angels who went to her as his messengers, trying to persuade her to
behave.
Since Yahweh was not part of the creations of humans, and we equate
Yahweh with God, this is another myth that would not hold. It was said that
she told the so-called Fallen Angels to not bow to Adam, who in her
opinion was not worthy.
Since the term we use for the entities we refer to as the “Fallen Angels” is a
misuse of the name of the Anunnaki themselves, as “Anakim” or “Nefilim,”
it is quite unlikely that anyone had the slightest intention of bowing to
Adam in the first place.

Lilith was the first woman created by the Anunnaki.

So what is the real story of Lilith?
Who is this elusive person so hated by all religions?
And if she really had so much to do with God and Adam, why was every
trace of her removed from the Bible, only to surface later in the legends?
The plain facts are simple – Lilith was the first woman created by the
Anunnaki. Those of us who are interested in the Anunnaki creation of the
human race are aware of certain facts, but for newcomers to the field, I
would like to mention a few points regarding the creation before I start
discussing Lilith herself.
It has been established that the Anunnaki were not the first to experiment in
the creation of intelligent, or almost intelligent life on our planet. –From the
book “Anunnaki Who’s Who”, co-authored by M. de Lafayette and Dr.
Anbel.

________________________________
 Jezebel
_________________________

Jezebel: Phoenician/Hebrew. Noun.

A Phoenician princess, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Sidon, wife of Ahab,
son of Omri, king of Israel.
Jezebel is one of the most hated women in the Bible, made to look viscous
and domineering, invariably in control of her weak husband. Her name, to
this day, stands for any wicked woman, and she is so greatly despised that
her death is described by the writers of the Bible as is they were joyfully
writing a graphic horror scene.
In addition, she is described as the mortal enemy of Elijah the Tishbite, who
had later become one of the most beloved figures in Judaism, a folk-hero
and almost a demi-god in his ability to perform miracles, in addition to
being an immortal. Ahab, who in reality was an extremely successful ruler,
is regarded as a villain since he participated in religious practices that were
forbidden to the followers of Yahweh.

To understand all that, and to be able to separate myth from reality, one
must remember the relationship between the writers of the Bible and
Yahweh.
When one studies the real creation stories, we know that humanity was
created by a group of Anunnaki who had set up a station on earth for this
purpose. Some of the names of these Anunnaki are known – such as
Marduchk, El, Anath, and Inanna – and Yahweh was simply one of that
group of scientists.

After they had completed their mission, the names of these Anunnaki
remained in the memories of humans and later given
to groups of local gods, some in Mesopotamia, some in Egypt, some in
Canaan, and the sagas of each nation was full of songs of praises to the
individual gods and goddesses. Yahweh took precedence for the Israelites,
and the entire Bible is one song of praise to him.
Naturally, he had to either be the only God, or at least the most powerful
one, and the other entities, or to be precise, the other Anunnaki, must be
forgotten.
Therefore, in the story of the struggle between Jezebel and Elijah,
everything is colored by religion, though not necessarily the religion as
practiced at the time of their story. Rather, it is the religion of the writers of
the Bible, which took place hundreds of years later. Incidentally, the words
God and Yahweh become interchangeable in the Bible, since Yahweh is, to
the writers, the only God.
The Phoenicians lived on the coastal plain of the area which today is called
Lebanon. Their major cities were Tyre and Sidon. They were a highly
advanced nation, skilled, affluent, and thriving as traders and seafarers of
the Mediterranean and even further, according to a growing number of
archaeological finds in many distant lands.

They had much in common with the Israelites, the language was so similar
that individuals from the two natures could easily converse, and King
David, and his son King Solomon, had close ties with the Phoenicians, both
personal and business oriented. For example, King Hiram of Phoenicia was
instrumental in the building of the Temple to Yahweh which Solomon
constructed.
What is most noteworthy in this story, though, is that the Anunnaki used
Phoenicia as one of their earliest stations on earth, where they had done
much of the genetic work when creating humanity, using Anunnaki DNA to
a significant extent in their experiments. There is a large number of people
there to this day who have strong Anunnaki DNA – and there is no doubt
that the Phoenician rulers, including Ethbaal and Jezebel, had such a genetic
makeup.

King Ahab was the seventh king of Israel after the split of the monarchy,
reigning for 22 years, 874-53 B.C. An excellent ruler, he consolidated the
dynasty founded in the Northern kingdom by his father Omri by using the
same principles. He had a good relationship with the southern kingdom,
Judah, kept the Aram-Damascus enemies at the north-east as much as
possible under control, created a favorable and thriving climate for
commerce, engaged in extensive building program, and renewed the
partnership with the Phoenicians that had started with King David and King
Solomon. He had made an alliance with King Ethbaal, and even married his
daughter, the princess Jezebel.
She was a remarkable woman, independent, strong, a true princess who
knew her own worth. Reading the chapters devoted to her, the careful
reader can see that even the hostile attitude of the Bible writers could not
hide these facts. What they held against her is the issue of religion. It seems
that on her marriage, she brought the worship of Melkart and Ashtoreth
(Astarte), and maintained four hundred and fifty prophets to Baal in
Samaria, the capital of Israel. She constructed a temple in the palace proper,
and apparently had her husband approve and join the worship of the
Phoenician gods.

This was entirely normal and always took place whenever a foreign
princess became a queen in the country of her new husband. It is very
unlikely that the population of Israel cared about these activities – since it is
very well known that many of them worshipped these same gods anyway.
The Bible, however, maintains that there was a huge opposition to Jezebel’s
worship of foreign gods, lead by the prophet Elijah the Tishbite, who came
from the Gilead, across the Jordan River.
Elijah was obsessed with Yahweh worship, or at least this is the way it
seems to be.

It is also possible that the writers of the Bible, who certainly were obsessed
with Yahweh as well, may have greatly exaggerated the violence of his
behavior. For violent he certainly appears to be. To put it plainly, he is
depicted as a mass murderer who is willing to kill hundreds of people for
his beliefs.
The biblical Elijah has nothing to do with the later figure that appears in
Medieval Judaism – the kindly miracle worker, the one who visits every
house in Passover, the one who protect the newborn during circumcision.
That was added much later by the great story tellers of Judaism. In the
Bible, he is a wild-looking man, half starved, wandering the country and
usually running for his life. His belief that Ahab is angering God led him to
endanger his own life recklessly many times, during a feud that had lasted
for decades.

During the first confrontation, Elijah, angered by the fact that Ahab
worshipped other gods, came to warn him that God is angry and would
smite Israel with a drought. He predicted doom for the house of Ahab, and
of course, after such a prophecy, had to escape the wrath of the rulers. Two
years later, Elijah returned to further harass the king, who referred to him as
“the troubler of Israel.”
Elijah of course explained to the king that he was the one to trouble Israel,
because God was so angry by his actions. To settle the issue once and for
all, he requested a confrontation with the four hundred and fifty prophets of
Baal, to be witnessed by a crowd.
It is hard to explain why the king would allow such nonsense, but he seems
to have been somewhat intimidated by the wild man, or perhaps he was torn
over his own religious beliefs, and so he had allowed it. The well-
orchestrated confrontation took place on Mount Carmel, and everything
was done the way Elijah requested. Two altars were created, sacrifices were
brought, and the competition was about prayer. The meat would be put on
each altar.

The priests of Baal would ask their god to send fire to burn it, and Elijah
would pray to God to send fire to his altar. Whoever sent the fire was to be
declared the true God.
Elijah did not start praying right away. He gave the priests time to pray all
day, which they did, and as usual, the prayer did not work and fire did not
descend from heaven to their altar. Elijah, while this was going on, built a
special altar with twelve stones (representing the twelve tribes of Israel),
dug a trench under it, and very likely created some kind of a mechanical
trick that no one was aware of.

When the specialized altar was built, he asked people to pour water all over
the arrangement, enough to fill the trench. He then prayed to God and
instantly fire descended from heaven and burned the meat.
The crowd, frenzied by what looked like a miracle, was ready to act. The
people were goaded by Elijah to drag the priests of Baal to the river in the
valley below, and murder the entire group.
The Bible, still entirely on Elijah’s side, claims that a long-lasting drought
broke instantly, and the rains fell heavily. Ahab did not try to capture Elijah,
but returned to the palace and told the story to Jezebel, who was, naturally,
furious about the murder of her priests. She tried to capture Elijah and put
him to death, but he escaped to the desert and survived there until the
notorious event of the vineyard of Naboth took place, when he saw fit to
emerge again.

The story of Naboth probably never happened. It has the ring of a folk tale
and does not make sense. Apparently, a man called Naboth owned a
vineyard next to Ahab’s and Jezebel’s winter palace at Jezreel, a town in the
Valley of Jezreel. Ahab wanted it and asked the owner to sell it to him, but
the owner refused since it was in his family for generations.
According to Israelite law, the king could not force the sale. When Jezebel
noticed that the situation upset Ahab, she supposedly took the matter into
her own hands, and wrote, in the name of Ahab, to the leaders in Jezreel,
accusing Naboth of blasphemy against God and the king.
She supplied the evidence of two false witnesses. Naboth was to be stoned,
and the property, as was the law in such cases, transferred to the king.

It seems unlikely that Naboth would dare to refuse a king’s request in the
first place. It is even more unlikely that the queen would go into such
detailed plot instead of simply sending someone to kill Naboth. It seems
unlikely that the leaders of Jezreel would believe that the king or the queen
would care about blasphemy against Yahweh when they had been engaging
with such worship themselves.
But that is the story, and it explains why Elijah would return to the palace.
He did that, and prophesied that the king and queen would be destroyed by
God and that Jezebel would be eaten by dogs in Jesreel.

Ahab was apparently scared and immediately repented, so Elijah declared

that God decided, with a logic very hard to understand, that he would leave
Ahab alone and punish his successor (whoever he was to be, and may
become a great Yahweh worshipper, but such is the logic of the Bible). It
seems that Jezebel did not pay much attention to Elijah’s ranting.
Some years after these events Ahab was killed in the war, trying to regain a
city from Aram-Damascus.
First his son Ahaziah succeeded him, and then, when Ahazia was injured by
a fall, Ahab’s second son Jehoram became king.
But Elijah would not leave them alone. Determined to destroy the house of
Ahab, he finally influenced an army commander named Jehu to rebel and
murder King Jehoram, then seize the throne, with the intention of
annihilating the house of Ahab. Jehu, a strong Yahweh worshipper,
proceeded to the palace.
Jezebel, already an older woman, knew they were coming to get her, but she
did not show fear. She stood proudly at her window, her face made up, her
hair elegantly done, and mocked Jehu as he approached the palace.

Jehu shouted to the household servants to kill her by throwing her out of the
window, which they immediately did. Jehu entered the palace, and after
resting and eating, he told his servants to bury Jezebel (since she was the
daughter of a king) but the servants only found her skull, hands and feet.
Jehu declared that this was the fulfillment of Elijah’s prophecy that the dogs
would eat Jezebel. Jehu proceeded to destroy every member of the house of
Ahab that he could find.
This, according to the Bible, was the end of the Phoenician princess and
queen of Israel, but not of Elijah. Apparently, he was to be rewarded. While
walking with his disciple Elisha, a chariot of fire and horses of fire came
from the sky and separated them. Elisha then clearly saw that his master
went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Was that really a reward?
Was that Yahweh, taking care of His beloved prophet who stood for Him
and defended His glory?
Did He give immortal life to Elijah?

Well, since Yahweh was actually an Anunnaki, not a god, he was by then
engaged elsewhere and no longer personally interested in who worshipped
whom, but it seems that other Anunnaki intervened, finally, in the insane
behavior of an individual who caused more damage than he was worth.
Further study shows that the whole story of Jezebel, Ahab, and Elijah is
entirely incorrect. The people of Israel were comfortable and thriving under
the tolerant rule of a good Israelite king and his Phoenician wife.
No one really cared, at this time, if Yahweh was the only God – except, of
course, the fanatics, such as Elijah. It is much more likely that Elijah, after
devising some trickery at the altar, caused a number of priests to be killed
by a mob (not the whole four hundred and fifty, that is absurd) and was
hunted by the authorities.
It is possible that he went on doing as much damage as he could – and that
he managed to get away and be hidden by his accomplices, such as the
widow who is mentioned in one of his miracle making stories, and that
finally, the Anunnaki who were watching over the excellent relationship
between Phoenicia and Israel and attempting to create a joint country that
would give the region great benefits, got tired of the fanatic prophet and
decided to put an end to his activities. Elijah was indeed taken by a chariot
of fire into heaven – that is to say, removed by an Anunnaki space ship and
either mercifully killed or taken away to where he could do no further
damage. But the house of Ahab was no more, and the tolerant regime that
would have enhanced the whole region was at an end.

It is a great pity that Jehu, who wanted to consolidate his own thrown,
would put an end to the hopes of such a merge by destroying the great
house of Ahab – but it is not the first time, nor the last, that a religious
fanatic destroys a regime which is much better than his own, and at that
time in history, it was common for a ruler to destroy the house that preceded
him. -From the book “Anunnaki Who’s Who”, co-authored by M. de Lafayette and Dr. Anbel.

Synopsis and Translation of the Phoenician, Ugaritic, Canaanite,
Sumerian, Akkadian, and Assyrian Tablets.
The name of God “Yahweh”, his attributes and extraordinary (Supernatural)
powers and deeds were borrowed from pagans’ gods; gods the Israelites
worshiped before they “created” their own god “Yahweh”, who centuries
later, became the God of the Christians and the Muslims.
So is it fair and logical to assume that we are worshiping a “Pagans’ God”
or more precisely an amalgam of mythical gods? You bet!
And this is exactly, the delicate, fragile and controversial topic we will be
exploring, discussing and explaining in this treatise.
If you are fanatically religious and you believe every word in the Bible, and
all the stories rabbis, sheiks, Imams, bishops and priests tell you, then, do
not read this treatise, because it could disturb you, and lead you to believe
that it was written to discredit your faith and your beliefs in the Jewish
Bible, the Torah, Talmud, the Christian Bible (New Testament), Jesus, the
Christian Church, the Koran, and the Prophets. And this is not the case at
all.
The conclusions are based upon linguistic, historical, geographical, and
archaeological facts and irrefutable findings, scrolls and inscriptions written
centuries before any organized religion was established on Earth, and the
word “GOD” was ever pronounced by or known to mankind. Vital and most
important questions we must address and answer:

a-God’s true origin.

b-Where did he come from?
c-What is his real name?
d-How and why did Abraham, Moses, early believers, tribes, scribes,
prophets, and others unintentionally or willingly change and/or misinterpret
God’s name or names?
e-How many names God had at the time, Abraham, Moses, and other
prophets met him?
f-In what original language, his name was written?
What and how it was written?
And how it was translated in Greek, Latin, French, English, Spanish, etc.?
g-How did God himself pronounce his name?
h-Who heard God first?
i-When and where did the term or word “God” appear the first time in the
history of humanity?
And what did it mean at that time; the very first time it was pronounced,
used, and later put in writing?
Did the meaning change? No? Yes? Why?
j-Any relation to the Anunnaki, the Ancient Gods, the Sumerians, the
Phoenicians, the extraterrestrials?

 Explanation of Sumerian and Assyrian Tablets, Slabs and seals and
Translation of Cuneiform Inscriptions (Illustrated History of the
Civilizations, Middle East, Near East, and Asia Minor.)

A monumental work.
The world’s first book of its kind! Conceived and written for the use of
universities’ professors, teachers of art history and history of ancient
civilzations, as well as for students and researchers in the field. In this most
unique book, the author explains the meaning, the message and structure of
hundreds upon hundreds of Mesopotamian tablets, slabs, seals, obelisks,
and cuneiform inscriptions.
It was said, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” True, very true! But
what if a picture is hard to understand or does not explain what we are
looking at?
This happens quite often in the vast literature and history of ancient
civilizations. Especially, when the inscriptions on or under the pictures or
illustrations are written in a language we do not understand, such as
Cuneiform, Ugaritic, Akkadian, Sumerian, Phoenician, and similar writing
systems of the ancient Middle and Near East.
In addition, there are thousands of slabs, cylinder seals, tablets, and obelisks
of ancient and/or vanished civilizations, which are hard to decipher.
And in many instances, no pertaining inscriptions or texts were ever
provided to explain what the statues, figurines, slabs and tablets represent.
To fully understand the scriptures, texts, epics and literature of
Mesopotamia, Sumer, Assyria, Chaldea, Phoenicia, Ugarit, and the
Anunnaki, one must become familiar with the meaning (Hidden or
revealed) of the inscriptions, the symbolism camouflaged in intricate
details, and the religious-artistic-philosophical nuances of the art of the era.

This requires authentic description, translation and explanation of:

• Ancient symbols
• Archeological finds
• Maps
• Seals and Slabs
• Cuneiform inscriptions and writings
• Statues and figurines
• Carving/Illustrations/Drawings
• Familiarity with historical sites, ruins, and cities
• Linguistic analogies
• And a perfect knowledge of the ancient languages and dialects of the
ancient civilizations of the Near East, and the Middle East.

This book was written in order to deal with and to explain all these
concerns, and above all to provide the readers with sufficient guidance,
translation and explanation of major archeological finds, ranging from a
figurine to a massive monument. The book was written by an expert
linguist, who authored several dictionaries of ancient and dead languages.
