"Mesopotamia had been conquered dozens of times. This produced such a complex of mythic overlays that one of the few certain things about Mesopotamian religion is that an older river- based farming oriented set of divinities was displaced, partially assimilated, and replaced many times. Each set of conquerors plugged their own High God into the third generation, the generation of the Dominant God amongst "

"In the late fourth and third millenniums B.C. a people called the Sumerians began to develop a writing system called "cuneiform" ("wedge-shaped"), written on wet clay with a sharpened stick, or stylus. At first the Sumerians used a series of pictures ("pictograms") to record information having to do with business and administration, but went on to develop a system of symbols that stood for ideas and later sounds (usually syllables). In the later stages of Sumerian writing there were about 600 signs that were used on a regular basis. The language that the Sumerians used is not related to any other language we know about, and it gradually ceased to be a spoken language. The writing system, however, was adopted by people speaking a Semitic language called Akkadian, and continued to be used by a number of peoples up until the 1st century B.C.E. Both the Babylonians and Assyrians, who spoke dialects of Akkadian,[emphasis added]used the cuneiform signs, writing not only in their own languages, but sometimes in Sumerian as well. Sumerian had become the language of literature and scholarship, somewhat like Latin up until fairly recently."
From:www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/wsrp/educational_site/ancient_texts/Cuneiform.shtml

"Specifically, the writing that developed from early accounts is known as cuneiform, the people who develop it were the priests from Asiria, and the time when the event took place was approximately 3000 BC. Thus the earliest important language expressed in cuneiform was Sumerian. A series of semitic people moved into Mesopotamia the first of whom were the Akkadian who borrowed Sumerian writing to express their own Akkadian language. Later other peoples sych as the Elamites, Hurrians, Hittites and Urarteans took over the same script from the Akkadeans to write their own languages."

Notes 2
Here's What I Think

Recapping the First Legend:
This web site is set up with a particular chronology. The first section named The First Legend introduced the Sumerians as to who they were and what they accomplished. From such a small parcel of acreage this group of people bequeathed civilization to the world. They had the double advantage of genetics and close contact with the "gods" the Adamites and the Nodites but in particular the Adamites and their Edenic culture. Because so much was lost due to the rebellion todays etymologists and archeologists are not aware of the waves of migration from very early Mesopotamia. One of the main routes was to the northeast - east of the Caspian Sea - which lead to what is today Turkmenistan. Currently the theory on the Sumerians is that they originated in Central Asia among the Ural-Altaic peoples. What may be even more important are the Altaic Shamans. This is a very important group of leaders. The UB describes the shamans as medicine men and priests (in the migratory waves out of Mesopotamia were Sethite priests who were even back then the academians and carriers of culture). The shamans were the big guns out ranking the war chiefs. They were the conduit of religion to the masses. So important were these shaman priests that the development of civilization was dominated by religious leaders/clergy all the way to the common era. So this perspective helps us understand what was happening with the Sumerian culture and its domination by the "gods" (who were long gone by this time about 3000BC). The preoccupation with the "gods" in Sumerian culture leads to the next section called the Nephilim. These semidivine beings were a direct result of the Lucifer rebellion. What this part of the site has to do is to demonstrate that in antiquity it was common knowledge of who the Nephilim were and their parents. Part of the modern problem is simply language or more to the point how the ancient texts were translated. This legend dies hard as demonstrated by the "recent" Greek legends of their gods. Following the Nephilim is the Tree of Life.This is additional information to the survival of its story and its traces as found across the various cultures of Mesopotamia carved in stone and impressed into the clay tables so long ago. Once again multiple sources document the story of this most remarkable tree and its life perpetuating fruit. 

Celestials came to this planet to foster a peaceful culture through the introduction of agriculture. It seems agriculture is the foundation of cities and therefore civilization. With cities comes writing and math based upon the need for record keeping. But before early man had a chance to evolve these prerequisite tools, a rebellion struck and eradicated almost all of the original efforts. From the rebellion we have the Nephilim.  The cuneiform tablets tell of constant warfare between the southern Mesopotamian cities. A "My-god-is-better-than-your-god" cultural attitude kept the city states from becoming a united force. Eventually the Sumerians despite all of their advantages fell to the nomadic hordes that swept across Mesopotamia. But out of the rebellion we have the epic of Van who kept the light alive. He stood in opposition to his superiors by following his loyalty to the divine government. Even in isolation he and his associate Amadon imparted the building blocks of civilization to the indigenous peoples and prepared for the coming of Adam and Eve. It was Adam and Eve that continued to labor with early man in the techniques of agriculture and animal domestication. Eventually the Neolithic dawned, cities developed, legends created and the rest is history.

The scribes recorded on cuneiform tablets about all aspects of Sumerian daily life and accomplishments. When they wrote about architecture, math, commerce and such we take this information as fact. But when they write about their gods - whom they claim as the origin of civilization - we disregard these writings as myth. This is despite the fact that the Sumerians were obsessed with the past and with those events whose "mythology" or oral traditions they were determined to keep alive. Within an area of 200 miles square we have a people linguistically and genetically different from everyone else. They invent civilization. Their accomplishments are astounding: the wheel, writing, accounting, credit, architercture, the arch, law, astronomy, metallurgy, the seven day week, the calendar, the 360° circle and recorded history. Yet historians seem to think the Sumerians did all of this from scratch at a time when the rest of the world still hunted with flint tipped spears. Just think of it, for almost one million years humans did practically nothing except chip stone to produce crude tools. And then in a blink of geologic time this tiny group of humans invent agruculture, mathmatics, metallurgy and writing. It makes more sense that what the Sumerians are telling us is true. It is a story of reveled knowledge. Many of us believe in revealed religion but not of celestial knowledge outside of biblical accounts. At least not for now. When we examine the words and deeds of the Annunaki we see pre-flood information even to the so called times before the appearance of man. "Where did we come from?" must be a very old question indeed, so old that even the Sumerians thought and wrote about it.

There was a time not too long ago when scientists thought we were the only ones in the universe. These days this sentiment seems quite quaint. This is in part due to radio astronomer Dr. Frank Drake's equation predicting the probability of extraterrestrial intelligence. It has been said that the number of planets could be as high as to be equal to the number of all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the world. That could be true or it could be an ambitious guess. It all depends on what figures you plug into the equation. If you would like to try it youself go to: http://www.activemind.com/Mysterious/Topics/SETI/drake_equation.html but you will need a Netscape browser to run the scripts. However there is a complete explaination of the equation at this web site. If you have a browser running Flash you can go here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/origins/drake.html. This example from science is used to demonstrate how quickly things can be turned around. From within a short time frame we went from we are alone to government funded searches for communicating civilizations (SETI). The idea of celestials visiting this planet could be accepted just as quickly. It's a problem of connecting the dots. It is hardly a leap from believing celestials communicated with mankind in the Bible to believing celestials communicated with mankind in the cuneiform tablets (from which some Genesis traditions are based).

One of the sad legacies of the rebellion is the loss of the knowledge of origins. This web site is intended to initiate a new look at history based in part upon the UB and supported by terrestrial evidence. I am sure many will thumb their nose at what is said here but there are thousands upon thousands of tablets still waiting translation not to say to be discovered. It has been estimated that over a million tablets may be out there. This is not an unreal estimate given we know that 250,000 cylindar seals have been uncovered. So I am sure the nay sayers will eventually be put to rest. This is a civilization that has been studied for only the last 200 years. Only very recently has the focus shifted from the southern part of Mesopotamia to the northern region particularly at the site of Metsamor 35km southwest of Yerevan. And now that the political situation has changed in central Asia that too is where archaeologists are looking further into the beginnings of culture and civilization. Since the inception of this web site much new information has come to light. For example the "from out of nowhere" is slowly being replaced by "migration from the north" and that the Ubaid culture may be a pre-sumerian culture updated by the new technologies from this influx of new blood.

Also a very important resource is being developed. The CDLI Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative is an online database library of cuneiform inscriptions. More on this resource can be found here: http://www.cdli.ucla.edu/about.html

The Digital Hammurabi project of John Hopkins University is doing 3D scans of the tablets which practically puts "the tablets in your hands". The Stanford Cuneiform Tablet Visualization Project is also involved in rendering the tablets so that they are more easily read by scholars. Their technique is to "unwrap" the tablet surface and flatten it with some enhancement to improve legibility. And there are more projects here and abroad that are now being developed to bring this ancient knowledge and history to scholars and laymen alike. A great digital era is dawning linking the educational centers around the planet at the speed of light.

This developing digital library is extremely important. No longer do archeologists and historians have to travel to the tablets. Now the tablets can come to the scholars.
