Funny how OP and archaeologists always try to disprove the Bible but it will always outlast them. It is the most accurate information of the past then anything ever. I know it hurts OP but I'm sure your hemorrhoids hurt more.


And you're probably thinking the bible was originally written in English too, I suppose.



The Preserved Word of God is written in English. You can probably get it your nearest gas station or dollar store.. its known as the KJB or the King James Bible. There is a reason for all the imitations and single clay tablets that say something different.. and it aint cause they are the truth.


Righteous ignorance is bliss...

...especially to behold!

Ezra came from Babylon (which used to be Sumeria). He and his scribes wrote the Old Testament. It didn't exist before that. So it makes sense he used stories from Babylon, and probably Egypt too.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what I'm laughing at more here, your pre-school grammar, or your ridiculous assertion.

We KNOW that the first Nicaean Council essentially edited and vetted the documents which were compiled into the "Holy Bible..." this is undisputed fact. In and of ITSELF, that tells us that the Bible is a DIRECTED document, not an historically relevant text. The utter lack of anything resembling intelligence that you people use for argument simply baffles me.

The only reason that the Bible may outlast everything else is if mainstream science and TPTB are allowed to continue repressing solid science to the contrary.

I, for one, firmly believe we should let the facts dictate truth. Even though that would make it harder for them to control us.

Re: The Bible Was Actually Written By Sumerians In 400 BC
And the Ten Commandments were actually the work of the Sumerian king Hammurabi, not some fictitious Jewish god.

Strange but true.

The Sumerians invented writing and were the world’s first great Civilization as we know it. The civilization flourished in the valleys between the two great rivers Tigris and Euphrates, the area known as southern Iraq today.

The Sumerian civilization existed for ca 3000 years, between the fifth and the second millennium BC. They reached their golden era 3-2000 BC. The Sumerians invented the wheel, the plough, irrigation, sailing boats, the keel, potter’s wheel and were the first to build stone arcs and multi-storeys buildings. They had an advanced juridical system, developed mathematics, astronomy and the calendar. Still today our definition of time is based on the original Sumerian number-system based on 6 and 60, and the division of the circle in 360 degrees. But their most important invention, the very basis of all later civilizations and cultures was done late in the 4 th century BC: – the art of writing.

The Sumerians wrote cuneiform script with straws from reed on clay tablets. Hundred of thousands of these clay tablets are found in archaeological excavations. The more of these tablets are found and interpreted, the more of the original stories and motifs known from the Old Testament stories emerges in their original form. Most of the clay tablets are at least a thousand years older than the earliest texts in the Old Testament. The Sumerian culture had a huge impact and formed the casting mould for the later great civilizations.

Um....

Actually, the bible people think Jesus was a witch, and his followers need to be nailed to the cross just like he was.

Who Was Jesus?

The Bible gave a warning about a dangerous, false prophet who would arise to test our faith in G-d. In Deuteronomy 13, G-d describes this false prophet as a member of the Jewish people (v. 2, 7) who would tell true prophecies and would have the power of miracles. G-d Himself would give this false prophet the power to perform miracles and reveal prophecy, but the false prophet would try to seduce the people away from G-d's Law and towards strange gods unknown to Judaism. The purpose would be to test whether we are truly committed to living under the Law, or whether we will be dazzled and fall for the temptation to join a false path to salvation (v. 3-6, 7-8, 11). In this Biblical passage, G-d repeatedly commands the Jews to kill this false prophet, lest the evil spread and destroy many souls.

The Sumerians learned to read and write long before Moses was born; that doesn't mean they invented the stories they recorded; it just means they were the first to send their kids to a school! Remember the Hebrews were illiterate for centuries and the Torah had to wait until someone schooled (Moses in Egyptian schools) could come along and put things in writing.

The Sumerians got their legends from oral traditions handed down for generations before even the Sumerians could read or write - from the direct descendant tribes of Adam and Eve.

Also the Nicean council was just a group of ordinary men who wanted to control books of Scripture already possesssed by the peoples of many nations. Just because they took out some billboard advertising about their meeting doesn't mean squat except to those who equate marketing to truth.

It's obvious when comparing the older Sumerian literature that the old testament stories are copies of Sumerian stories twisted to fit the jewish viewpoint.

That is one of the reasons in the Gulf war that 'unnamed groups' were permitted to go and either steal or destroy ancient proof that the Sumerians were the originators of many things.

Re: The Bible Was Actually Written By Sumerians In 400 BC
Havent' read the whole thread but OP this site may interest you. I have followed the footnotes at the bottom of the site and verified/cross referenced when I questioned the veracity of what was stated.

Below is just part of the introduction (quoted less than 10%)

[link to www.bidstrup.com]


Scholars have traced the roots of many of the Old Testament stories to the ancient, pagan myths of the ancient Mesopotamian cultures. In the Fertile Crescent, the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in present-day Iraq, gave birth to some of the worlds first civilizations.

In this early flowering of civilization, many religious myths abounded, seeking to explain what was then unexplainable. From this context comes the oldest complete literary work we have, the age of which we are certain, dating back at least 7,000 years. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a lengthy narrative of heroic mythology that incorporates many of the religious myths of Mesopotamia, and it is the earliest complete literary work that has survived.

Many of the stories in that epic were eventually incorporated into the book of Genesis. Borrowed from the Epic of Gilgamesh are stories of the creation of man in a wondrous garden, the introduction of evil into a naive world, and the story of a great flood brought on by the wickedness of man, that flooded the whole world.

In this Mesopotamian basin civilization, known to us today as the Chaldean Empire, tribal alliances that predated the amalgamation into a single empire, continued to exist and flourish. Many were allied to the palace, many opposed, all retained elements of their pre-conquest cultures.

The patriarchs first appear in our story with the journey of one of them, Abraham, who, the story tells us, led members of his tribe from the city of Ur, west towards the Mediterranean, to the "promised land" of Canaan, sometime between the 19th and 18th centuries B.C.E. Or so the story goes.

The problem is that we don't really have any good archeaological evidence to support the Abraham story, and there is much archaeological evidence to contradict it. The land where Abraham supposedly settled, the southern highlands of Palestine (from Jerusalem south the the Valley of Beersheba) is very sparse in archaeological evidence from this period. It is clear from the archaeological record that its population was extremely sparse - no more than a few hundred people in the entire region, and the sole occupants of the area during this time were nomadic pastoralists, much like the Bedouin of the region today. We know from clear archaeological evidence that the peoples known as the Phillistines never even entered the region until the 12th century B.C.E., and the "city of Gerar" in which Isaac, the son of Abraham, had his encounter with Abimelech, the "king of the Phillistines" (in Genesis 26:1) was in fact a tiny, insignificant rural village up until the 8th century B.C.E. It couldn't have been the capital of the regional king of a people who didn't yet exist!

Bump for the truth.

The Holy Bible as we know it is a poor copy of the ancient Sumerian tablet.

Do some research and read a few excerpt of the translation and you'd be AMAZED at how fucking awesome it is. It's not just a snip, copy and paste job like the Bible. The creation of Man, the Garden of Eden, etc etc. The Sumerian tablets explains thing in FULL DETAIL. Not some cliff not like the Bible.

The world wasn't created in Seven day, the Garden of Eden was.

In the Sumerian tablet, Heaven refers to the Garden of Eden. Eden was surrounded by a wall or gate. Just like how Christan describe "Heaven".

I am currently looking to purchase a copy of the entire translation. This is some good shit. Very interesting. Especially about how Humans were created in likeness of the Aliens using Alien DNA and Monkeys.

Which explain why we are so CLOSELY related to the Chimps DNA wise.

Anyone know where we can purchase a copy of the Sumerian Text?
