CHAPTER 9: The Winged-Disc God of Zoroaster
In the eastern part of ancient Persia over a thousand years BCE a religious philosopher named Zoroaster simplified the pantheon of early Iranian gods into two opposing forces: Ahura Mazda (Illuminating Wisdom) and Angra Mainyu (Destructive Spirit) which were in conflict.
Zoroaster's ideas led to a formal religion bearing his name by about the 6th century BCE and have influenced other later religions including Judaism, Gnosticism, Christianity and Islam.
Ancient inscriptions on the cliffs of Behistun in modern day Iran, are shown in Figure 15 depicting the deity Ahura Mazda flying in his winged-disc over king Darius I. This is the same symbol used by Enki in the flying disc symbol on the Old Persian capital of Persepolis.
Figure 15: Behistun Inscription
According to Wikipedia sources, the inscription was authored by Darius the Great sometime between his coronation as king of the Persian Empire in the summer of 522 BC and his death in autumn of 486 BC. The inscription begins with a brief autobiography of Darius, including his ancestry and lineage. Later in the inscription, Darius provides a lengthy sequence of events following the deaths of Cyrus the Great and Cambyses II in which he fought nineteen battles in a period of one year (ending in December 521 BC) to put down multiple rebellions throughout the Persian Empire. The inscription states in detail that the rebellions, which had resulted from the deaths of Cyrus the Great and his son Cambyses II, were orchestrated by several impostors and their co-conspirators in various cities throughout the empire, each of whom falsely proclaimed kinghood during the upheaval following Cyrus's death. Darius the Great proclaimed himself victorious in all battles during the period of upheaval, attributing his success to the "grace of Ahura Mazda".
According to the tenets of the Zoroastrian religion, Ahura Mazda was the creator god of light and wisdom, and his arch rival, the creator of all destruction, was denoted as the god Angra Mainyu. It should not surprise the reader to know that Ahura Mazda was none other than Enki, and his half-brother Enlil played the role of the great destroyer, the precursor of the Christian devil, Angra Mainyu. If true, then the wiles of the Christian devil, promoted himself as God and demonized the true creator, Ahura Mazda, as Satan or a sneaky snake as evidenced in the later Biblical Canon.
Zoroastrianism, in various forms, served as the national or state religion for a large portion of the Iranian people for centuries. The religion began to fade when the Achaemenid Empire was invaded by Alexander the Great, subsequently disintegrating and was further marginalized by Islam from the 7th century onwards with the decline of the Sassanid Empire. It was at this juncture in history that Allah’s Islam replaces Ahura Mazda’s Zoroastrianism as the new state religion in Persia.
Given that the Mesopotamian territory had been allotted to Enlil, it was just a matter of time until the Enlilites routed the remnants of their nemesis Enkiites from the region. As evidenced by the situation in the Middle East, the Enlilites are growing in strength under the crescent moon-adorned flags in countries like Iran, Turkey, and Syria to name a few.
Babylon had a brief late flowering of power and influence under the Chaldean Dynasty which took over much of the empire formerly held by their northern kinsmen. However, the last king of Babylon, the Assyrian born Nabonidus, paid little attention to politics, preferring to obsess with worship of the moon god, leaving day to day rule to his son Belshazzar.
Could Allah, the god of the crescent moon, be none other than Nannar Sin, Enlil’s son, as we have postulated herein? Since the Mesopotamian territory belonged to Enlil, his offspring, including the mood god Nannar, would have been welcomed there. Nannar was also a member of the Anunnaki council of 3760 BCE, and, as evidenced in the Atrahasis, he is shown to be the one that leads the Igigi miner’s rebellion in Africa under Enlil’s supervision.
There are links in historical texts indicating that Nannar-Sin had a very large following in his cult centers that were prolific in the area from southern Iraq to Syria, Turkey and Iran. Interestingly enough, the Kaaba stone in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, one of the sacred centers for the religion of Islam, was originally dedicated to the moon god, referred to there as Allah. Could Nannar-Sin be the deity that Mohammed had an encounter with in the wilderness? Is Nannar-Sin the fabled Allah? Recall from the Atrahasis account:
Atrahasis Tablet 1 [37, pg. 10]
Then Alla made his voice heard,
And spoke to the gods his brothers
Come! Let us carry Ellil,
The counselor of gods, the warrior, from his dwelling.
Now, cry battle!
The gods listened to his speech,
Set fire to their tools,
Put aside their spade for fire,
Their loads for the fire-god,
They flared up…
The author asserts that it is no coincidence that Alla(h) is leading the rebellion, right to his father Enlil’s domicile. Note the fiery rhetoric he used to stir up the crowd of Igigi miners. Seems to me that his behavior is similar to that seen among the followers of Jihad in the Middle East, with spiritual leaders promoting warlike activities from the followers affiliated with the moon god, Allah.
The genealogy tables and Sumerian records clearly indicate that Enlil had a son on the Anunnaki council, Nannar Sin. Nannar (also called Sin) was the moon god; son of Enlil and Ninlil; father of Utu (sun god) and Inanna. It is not the intention of this book to definitively prove that the Alla referred to in the Atrahasis is the same Allah worshiped by Islam today, but would certainly be a terrific research project for those inclined toward finding the truth. How would the results of such research be received today? Knowing that Enlil was the god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the genocidal exterminator of early Mesopotamian slaves and the Great Flood Proponent devised to wipe out all flesh, changed my perspective on the many labels of “God”. Hopefully, divulging the fact that Allah was an ancient astronaut from Nibiru and was the son of Enlil (AKA Zeus, Jupiter, Jehovah, El Shaddai…), will help illuminate the masses affiliated with the religion of the crescent moon.
Enlil’s offspring invariably invade and overtake the colonies of Enki as happened in Atlantis and Mesopotamia. Thus Atlantis, a hidden away island, is still susceptible to the nautical Enlil pirates that invaded from their island base of Crete. Note that the pirates of Crete were similar to the roaming marauders that Enlil sponsored in Egypt, where their Biblical Exodus story is severely mischaracterized. Keep in mind that Enlil was operating from the Levantine and Enki had his Egyptian domain adjacent to the headwaters of the Nile river delta, in North Africa.
Enki Establishes Atlantis
Speaking of Atlantis, we find a connection from Sumeria to Greece via this legendary lost city. We have written records about Atlantis recorded in the Timaeus by Plato. In the dialog between Critias and Socrates, a strange tale is conveyed which originated with Solon, wisest of the seven sages, although specified as true, regarding the Great Athenians, whose memory had passed into oblivion. Critias picks the most monumental story recorded by Solon’s research, as a gratuity, stating that if Solon had finished the tale he would have been as famous as Homer [114, pg. 26].
