Paradise Lost, Part 5: Prometheus Unmasked

Because History is Never Ancient to the Occult Power Elite.

Tracing the Prometheus archetype back through time, I ended up at the beginning of everything: Sumer.

What’s more, I soon came to believe — rather strongly — that the Fall of the Titans was based on a very, very real event. An event that rocked the ancient world to its foundations and became the stuff of legend for thousands of years thereafter.

I believe that this event that represented a trauma in which an entire people felt utterly cut off from their gods. An act for which, given their all-consuming religious traditions, they naturally would blame themselves.

This event wasn’t just a political or social disaster, but a cosmic one.

This was a trauma that would depose many highly-placed officials, giving us an extremely-compelling precedent for the fall of the rebel Watchers. And accounts from this time prove this Fall would send many of those men into the wilderness, just as Adam and Eve were.

BRAGGING RIGHTS

The Sumerians may not have been the world’s first highly advanced civilization, but they seem to be the first one we have dependable records of.

What continues to boggle the mind is how long the Sumerians remained hidden from History itself; they were only discovered in the mid-19th Century. A fact which might open the door for further discoveries down the road.

But for now, let’s stick with what we know about the Sumerians:

• They were the first to engage in irrigation-based agriculture

• The first to live in heavily-populated cities

• The first to develop specialized occupations

• The first to hold large standing armies

• The first to develop mathematics and writing

• The first to codify law

The Sumerians were an extraordinarily religious people, a people who believed their gods lived among them. As we’ve seen with other cultures at the time, a sky god eventually emerged from the pack and became the top dog in Sumer:

Sometime around 2500 BCE, Enlil became the greatest of the gods, the god who punished people and watched over their safety and well-being...

Enlil was a god who dwelled somewhere. He was a god of place, and that place was Nippur...

Nippur is crucial to our story. Remember it.

Each Sumerian city-state was ruled by a king or “Lugal,” a word literally meaning “Giant.” The king eventually became the religious leader in this ancient totalizing theocracy.

Some Lugals would be deified gods (or “half-gods”) themselves.

Each city was ruled by a different deity (god) who was worshipped in a large temple in the city centre….

A ruler was called an “en” and was often deified (made into a god). Each city had a governor (ensi) or a king (lugal) who often had religious duties, particularly to build and maintain temples.

The city leaders had a duty to please the town’s patron deity. Pleasing the god of the city ensured the goodwill of that god or goddess as well as the goodwill of the other deities in the council of gods.

Sumerians were totally dependent on the State and the Temple. It was a kind of theocratic Communism, albeit one which seemed to be highly stratified between social and ethnic classes.

But everything — and I mean everything — revolved around the gods and their functionaries. Read this:

Early Sumerian society was highly collectivized, with the temples of the city god and subordinate deities assuming a central role.

Each temple owned lands which formed the estate of its divine owners.

Each citizen belonged to one of the temples, and the whole of a temple community - the officials and priests, herdsmen and fishermen, gardeners, craftsmen, stonecutters, merchants, and even slaves - was referred to as ‘the people of the god.”

This is exactly the world that the Globalists work so desperately want to reconstruct — and will NEVER stop working towards, no matter how many battles they lose, no matter how many billions must be sacrificed — which is why this information is so crucial to us today.

Because of the desert climate, gardens were highly prized by the Sumerians, and by the empires which followed them. Gardens were identified with the gods, places where people would encounter the gods. How literally you want to take that is up to you.

Now, make note of this particular aspect of Sumerian religion:

The most important festival for ancient Sumerians was New Year’s Day. On this day, the king had to symbolically marry a priestess who represented the goddess Inanna.

Indeed, the Lugals — or Giants — were important connections between gods and man:

Sumerian kings performed vital ceremonial duties as mediators between gods and humanity, acting as high priests to ensure divine favor for city-state prosperity. Key roles included leading religious rituals, making sacrifices, maintaining temples, and performing “shepherd” duties to protect the populace.

Note that these sacrifices they were responsible for were specifically centered on fire.

Burnt offerings in ancient Sumer were ritualistic sacrifices designed to feed the gods through smoke, often involving animals like sheep and calves, as well as dates, bird, and fish.

These offerings enabled deities and statues to consume the sacrifice, fulfilling their need for sustenance. Offerings were deemed necessary to nourish the gods, whose wrath needed to be satisfied through these rituals.

In fact, the Sumerian fire god Gibil or Girra had a fascinating link to kingship - and to the entire puzzle we’re piecing together.

OK, OK, literal ancient history here. What does any of this have to do with Prometheus?

Well, read on...

Sumer’s ultimate vulnerability lay in its disunity: the city-states warred often over resources and trade and the rest.

Because of this. one particular Lugal — a Titan among Giants, if you will — stepped into the power vacuum, and sought to create a united Sumerian Empire.

Lugalzagesi conquered the Sumerian cities of Ur, Larsa, Girsu, Lagash, and possibly others, and eventually brought all the other cities of Sumer under his control.

At some point during his reign Lugalzagesi made Uruk his capital city. It’s often stated that he conquered the city, but this is unlikely.

But as it happens, Lugalzagesi would soon meet his match:

Sargon of Akkad reigned in Mesopotamia from 2334 to 2279 BCE... he was born an illegitimate son of a “changeling,” which could refer to a temple priestess of the goddess Innana (whose clergy were androgynous) and, according to the Sargon Legend never knew his father.

His mother could not reveal her pregnancy or keep the child, and so he was set adrift by her in a basket on the Euphrates River where he was later found by a man named Akki who was a gardener for Ur-Zababa, the King of the Sumerian city of Kish.

Yeah, I know: that’s kind of like Moses’ story too. But we’ll save that for another time.

For now, let’s just say that Sargon’s empire would ultimately stretch from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean, unimaginably vast for the time:

(Sargon) came to be considered the greatest man who had ever lived, celebrated in glorious tales down through the Persian Empire...

Historian Paul Kriwaczek sums up the impact Sargon had on later generations in Mesopotamia, writing, “for at least 1,500 years after his death, Sargon the Great, founder of the Akkadian Empire, was regarded as a semi-sacred figure, the patron saint of all subsequent empires in the Mesopotamian realm”

Let’s back it up a bit: Sargon caught the eye of a Lugal named Ur-Zababa, who made the young gardener his “cup-bearer,” which is essentially the king’s right-hand man.

What should be noted is that not only was Sargon just a gardener - or so the story goes - he wasn’t even Sumerian. Sargon was Akkadian, who were definitely not part of the elite class in the city-states.

In any event, Ur-Zababa chose poorly. Sargon began to accumulate power for himself, and chose Lugalzagesi’s blitzkrieg to make his big move. As the story hilariously goes, Zababa wasn’t much of a Lugal — it’s said he “sprinkled his legs” when he heard Zagesi’s army approach:

(Zababa) had grown suspicious of Sargon and decided to send him to Lugalzagesi, ostensibly with an offer for peace. Whether Ur-Zababa actually included in the message anything about terms and conditions is not known; what is known is that message asked Lugalzagesi to kill Sargon upon receiving it.

For whatever reason, Lugalzagesi refused to comply and instead invited Sargon to join him. Together, they marched on Kish and took the city easily. Ur-Zababa escaped and went into hiding.

Zagesi chose to spare Sargon’s life, and make him a brother-in-arms. He’d live to regret the decision.

It’s unclear exactly why Sargon and Zagesi later fell out, but do make note of the possibility historians have considered:

It is possible that (Sargon) had an affair with Lugalzagesi’s wife at this point… whatever happened between him and Lugalzagesi, they were as quickly antagonists as they had been allies.

Ah, a tale as old as time. Now, pay close attention to what happened next:

Lugalzagesi marched his army from Kish to meet Sargon in battle and was defeated.

Sargon then put him in chains, tied a rope around his neck, and took him to the city of Nippur, sacred to the sky god Enlil, upon whom Lugalzagesi had relied, and forced him to march in humiliation through the Enlil’s gate.

A Lugal - a Giant, or even a Titan - bound in chains to appease a sky god: why does that sound so familiar?

Oh, yeah: because that’s the story of Prometheus as well…
