Among the vast pantheon of gods and mystical beings in human cultures, Yahweh, the biblical deity, emerges as a figure of particular prominence. His name has echoed across the ages, creating a lasting legacy. Yet, the question arises: what elevates Yahweh to such a significant status, and is it possible that there are concealed links to the Anunnaki, unknown to contemporary understanding? Who exactly is Yahweh? Is he the all-powerful deity worshipped in the Abrahamic faiths? If not, then what or who could Yahweh represent? THE 'OFFICIAL' STORY Yahweh, an ancient Levantine deity, holds significant prominence in the Old Testament. His name appears more than 6,800 times, signifying a central role in the religious narratives of the Israelite kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Let's delve into the multifaceted aspects of Yahweh: 1. Origins and Attributes: - The exact origins of Yahweh remain debated, but scholars generally associate him with regions such as Seir, Edom, Paran, and Teman, followed by a later connection to Canaan. - In the oldest biblical texts, Yahweh is depicted as a divine warrior, possessing attributes typically associated with weather and war deities. He both **fructifies the land** and leads the heavenly army against Israel's enemies. 2. Polytheistic Context: - During the early Israelite period, the people were polytheistic, worshipping Yahweh alongside various Canaanite gods and goddesses like El, Asherah, and Baal. - Over time, Yahweh and El became intertwined, leading to the application of El-linked epithets (such as El Shaddai) to Yahweh alone. Other gods and goddesses were absorbed into the Yahwist religion. 3. Evolution and Proclamation: - As the Babylonian captivity neared its end, the existence of other gods was denied, and Yahweh was proclaimed the sole divinity to be worshipped. - During the Second Temple period, speaking Yahweh's name in public became taboo, and Jews substituted it with words like adonai (אֲדֹנָי, "my Lords"). - After the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, the original pronunciation of Yahweh's name was forgotten entirely. 4. The Name: - The name of God was written in paleo-Hebrew as YHWH, often referred to as the tetragrammaton. - Modern scholarship transcribes this as "Yahweh". - Rabbinic sources suggest that during the Second Temple period, the name of God was pronounced only once a year by the high priest on the Day of Atonement.

Iram in the Quran - Within the Quran, there is a record of an ancient tribe which has long confused historians and scholars. Known as the Ad, the tribe of an area called Iram, they do not appear in the texts of Judaism or Christianity, curious, since all three of these Abrahamic religions are built upon the same history, and thus contain mention of the same ancient tribes and events. Think King Solomon, Moses and the Egyptian Pharaoh, Noah and the Flood, and so on, all in the holy books of all three traditions. - But not the Ad. - Most famously, the tribe appears in the Quran when Muhammad warns unbelievers, - “Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad – the tribe of Iram – who had lofty pillars, the likes of which were not produced in all the land?”

The Sumerian Civilization tells of a race of giants which ruled over the Sumerians, and there are many depictions of them. Sumerian records speak of a giant king by the name of Gilgamesh who ruled for 126 years. He is generally seen by scholars as an actual historical figure since inscriptions have been found which confirm the existence of other figures associated with him. - In Ancient Egypt, there are hundreds of depictions of giants, and the Egyptian records describe the old pharaoh dynasties to be a race of tall giants, and hundreds of giant sarcophagus were also found, but the mummies there were long looted. - The Book of Genesis, which is the first book of the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, tells us the story of an ancient giant race called the Nephilim. The story of the Nephilim giants is further elaborated in another ancient manuscript – The Book of Enoch. - Apparently, the Watchers who were fallen angels, interbred with the women on earth, and as a result, the Nephilim giants were born.

- 445 000 years ago, “creator gods” – as they call it – came to Earth. They were called the Anunnaki, which means “Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came”. These beings inhabited a distant orbiting planet called Nibiru, which only entered our solar system every 3,600 years. - They describe Nibiru as many times the diameter of Earth, and abundant with iron oxide, making its rivers and lakes appear red. - A side note about Nibiru: according to the Sumerian tablets, Nibiru’s atmosphere began to deteriorate and became a hostile place for life, and in order to restore it, the Annunaki needed one important element for their atmosphere: gold. -

In early 2003, a team of German archaeologists working in Iraq stumbled across one of the most significant discoveries of modern times. - Deep beneath the desert sands, they discovered what they believed to be the long-lost tomb of the mythical King Gilgamesh, the protagonist of the oldest story human beings ever wrote – the Epic of Gilgamesh. - For centuries, historians had been divided over whether Gilgamesh actually existed or whether he was simply a figment of myth. That was until Jorg Fassbinder and his team of archaeologists, using modern technology to look deep into the ground, discovered an entire ancient city beneath the desert, astonishingly laid out just as the city of Uruk, over which Gilgamesh had purportedly reigned, was described in the Epic. - There were houses and gardens and fields, alongside “an incredibly sophisticated system of canals,” leading archaeologists to describe the site as “Venice in the desert.” More importantly, on the outskirts of the ancient city was what appeared to be a burial site, which archaeologists believed to be the tomb of the ancient king. As Fassbinder put it, "I don't want to say definitely it was the grave of King Gilgamesh, but it looks very similar to that described in the epic.” - It was, quite simply, a mind-blowing find, a long-lost missing piece of the origins of human history. - Surely, archaeologists believed, this would change everything, revealing to us secrets we never even knew we lost. But then, the unthinkable happened. Mere weeks after the tomb of Gilgamesh was discovered, the United States invaded Iraq, forcing Fassbinder and his team to abandon their work and flee the country, the mystery left unsolved. -

In the realm of sacred ancient writings, few are as shrouded in mystery and intrigue as the Ethiopian Bible. This venerable text, pivotal to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, is rich with mystical stories and prophetic revelations. It sets itself apart in both depth and complexity from its counterparts in other Christian traditions. Unlike the Bibles used in Western Christianity or the Jewish Tanakh, the Ethiopian Bible encompasses a broader canon, including several books that were removed or weren't included in other Christian traditions such as the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilee and more. Orthodox Tewahedo Biblical Canon The Orthodox Tewahedo biblical canon is a version of the Christian Bible used in the two Oriental Orthodox Churches of the Ethiopian and Eritrean traditions: the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church. At 81 books, it is the largest and most diverse biblical canon in traditional Christendom. Western scholars have classified the books of the canon into two categories — the narrower canon, which consists mostly of books familiar to the West, and the broader canon, which includes nine additional books. It is not known to exist at this time as one published compilation. Some books, though considered canonical, are nonetheless difficult to locate and are not even widely available in the churches' home countries of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Old Testament The Orthodox Tewahedo narrower Old Testament canon contains the entire established Hebrew protocanon. Moreover, with the exception of the first two books of Maccabees, the Orthodox Tewahedo canon also contains the entire Catholic deuterocanon. In addition to this, the Orthodox Tewahedo Old Testament includes the Prayer of Manasseh, 3 Ezra, and 4 Ezra, which also appear in the canons of other Christian traditions. Unique to the Orthodox Tewahedo canon are the Paralipomena of Jeremiah (4 Baruch), Jubilees, Enoch, and the three books of Meqabyan. New Testament The Orthodox Tewahedo narrower New Testament canon consists of the entire 27 book Christian protocanon, which is almost universally accepted across Christendom.

- Who wrote the Torah? - In light of more than two hundred years of scholarship and of the ongoing disputes on that question, the most precise answer to this question still is: We don’t know. - The tradition claims it was Moses, but the Torah itself says otherwise. Only small portions within the Torah are traced back to him, but not nearly the whole Torah: Exodus (Covenant Code); (Ten Commandments); Numbers (Wandering Stations); Deuteronomy (Deuteronomic Law); and (Song of Moses). - In Hebrew, the five books of the Torah are identified by the incipits in each book; and the common English names for the books are derived from the Greek Septuagint and reflect the essential theme of each book: - •Bəreshit (בְּרֵאשִׁית, literally "In the beginning")—Genesis, from Γένεσις (Génesis, "Creation") •Shəmot (שְׁמוֹת, literally "Names")—Exodus, from Ἔξοδος (Éxodos, "Exit") •Vayikra (וַיִּקְרָא, literally "And He called")—Leviticus, from Λευιτικόν (Leuitikón, "Relating to the Levites") •Bəmidbar (בְּמִדְבַּר, literally "In the desert [of]")—Numbers, from Ἀριθμοί (Arithmoí, "Numbers") •Dəvarim (דְּבָרִים, literally "Things" or "Words")—Deuteronomy, from Δευτερονόμιον (Deuteronómion, "Second-Law") -
