Thank you. I previewed it, and it sounds interesting. Books and discourses can point the way beautifully. Between my studies, sharing, and living the mystery, most of my time goes to the latter. I've added it to the list.

Poignant analysis.

There are many schools of thought on this subject; the predominant one is that Moses was the originator. This seems not obtuse, since Moses was reared in the Egyptian tradition, in a royal household; he probably had access to many religious writings and teachings now lost with the passing of the archives in Egypt, in Alexandria, Heliopolis, and Sais. Certainly the Ten commandments were a condensation of the forty-two questions of Osiris for entering heaven. If Moses did write part of the Old Testament, he then must have had Nagai tablet writings, or Egyptian interpretations of them handed down to the Egyptians for thousands years through the royal households; and the Egyptian priesthood had knowledge of a cataclysm 11,500 years ago (from our time). Priests of Egypt are supposed to have told Solon during his ten years in Egypt (about 600 B.C.) that 9,000 years before that time there was a cataclysm which buried Atlantis beneath the ocean. Note that 9,000 + 600 B.C. + 1,950 A.D. = 11,550 years ago.

Moses' brother, Aaron, became the first chief in priest of the Hebrews about 1,300 B.C. Somewhere between 15 and 18 generations later, the chief priesthood having been handed down from father to son through the generations, Seraiah (or Seraias) was the chief priest (See Ezra, and 1 & 2 Ezdras). Later, in 586 B.C., in the 19th year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Seraiah was executed, and his son Ezra made a captive in Persia (See 2 Kings). Jerusalem was sacked, and all Hebrew laws and records of the Old Testament were burnned with the temple at Jerusalem, by Nebuza-adan, Nebuchadnezzar's Captain of the Guard.

In 458 B.C., the seventh year of Artaxerxes' reign Persia, Ezra was commissioned to reestablish the Hebrew religion and law. According to 2 Ezdras, Ezra rewrote the history of the Hebrews from the beginning, and reestablished their laws.

Now, from 586 to 458 B.C. is 128 years. The latest that Ezra could have been born was after his father Seraiah's execution, as well could be (see Onan's story, Genesis 38:8 through 10); therefore, the youngest he could have been in 458 B.C. was 127. He was working on a long memory.

Let's examine this anomaly. As mentioned before, the lineage from Aaron to Ezra contains from 17 to 20 generations, including Aaron and Ezra. Assuming (1) 1,300 B.C. to be the start of Aaron's priesthood (1,290 B.C. is adjudged to be the time of the Exodus); (2) 458 B.C. to be near the end of Ezra's priesthood; then we find the average priesthood term per generation to be between 42.1 and 49.5 years. In view of this, can we believe that Ezra served his priesthood for approximately 130 years? Which includes his entire life span?

It would appear much more plausible to assume that it was Ezra's grandfather Azariah, rather than his father Seraiah, who was the one taken and executed by Nebuchadnezzar's men in 586 B.C. Then Seraiah and Ezra would have served as chief priests from 586 to 458 B.C., for an average of 64 years apiece. It is even plausible that Ezra's great-grandfather Helchiah could have been the victim in 586 B.C., leaving Azariah, Seraiah, and Ezra to serve the 128 years for an average of 42 years each, which is even closer to the overall average from Aaron to Ezra, over a period of about 845 years..

This means that the Adam and Eve story was last seen in writing by Helchiah or Azariah, therefore handed down verbally possibly by Azariah, and certainly by Seraiah and Ezra, and finally dictated by Ezra to five scribes. It is the five scribes' writings that we have today as Ezra's work. And the English is not even a literal translation . . . for instance, "without form and void" more literally would read "raging inundations and horrendous winds "....

Now, through Ezra's reconstruction of Genesis, we are told many things:

1. Because of the usage of "tree", "fruit", "serpent", "cherubim", and other words which were glyphs in the picture language of prehistory, it is evident that the Creation and Adam and Eve stories were probably originally written in the glyphs of Naga, the predominant Eastern Hemisphere language of 11,500 years ago. This language is nearly identical to ancient Mayan, and the progenitor of many languages, including Oriental and Polynesian tongues, Egyptian, Greek, and Yakut. My own knowledge of prehistoric Naga and Mayan glyphs enables me to read many Indian blankets of the Southwestern United States, which have woven into them colorful glyphs depicting a cataclysm. I wonder if the Indians are chuckling to themselves, knowing that the tourists think they ate buying blankets of just pretty pictures.

Yakut is an interesting language. It is almost pure spoken Naga. It is spoken by Alaskan Eskimos; the town of Yakutat means "The place where Yakut is spoken". It is also spoken by a native tribe in Turkey. Naga in almost its purest prehistoric form is spoken by a tribe in northern India. It is pure prehistoric Mayan.

2. Moses certainly, and possibly Aaron, had access to the royal Egyptian glyph-stones library.

3. Neither Moses nor Aaron knew how to read the ancient glyph languages of Naga or Mayan, therefore read the glyphs quite literally.

4. Not being able to read the symbolism of the glyphs, in addition to reading them literally, Moses and Aaron (and possibly Ezra) read into the Adam and Eve story the social and religious attitudes of their day. In that time woman was regarded as the root of all sin, a lowly creature, her birth recorded only as an exception, and basically being the cause of man's every downfall - a daily potential. This attitude persists even in worse forms in some religions amazingly in our time.

Is it any wonder that Eve was shouldered with the responsibility for the downfall of all mankind, as a result of interpretations read into the Naga by Moses? And into Moses' reading by Ezra? Perhaps also it was read into the story by Egyptian priests long before Moses' time, and passed on to him as history. If his father were really the one taken and executed by the Captain of the Guard, Nebuza-adan, then it had to be his grandfather who passed the story to him verbally.

Remember, however, we are informed that Ezra dictated the entire history to five scribes from memory, and this work contains Genesis as we know it today. For him to recall from the archives of his mind what he did—as well as he did—certainly bespeaks of inspiration of a high order; but it also appears evident that he had no knowledge of the fact that 5,000 years transpired between Genesis I and Noah's flood. It is clear from 2 Ezdras 3:9 that Genesis I and Noah's flood represented two inundations, however, for while speaking of the two occasions, he says of Noah's flood: "And again in process of time thou broughtest the flood upon those that dwelt in the world, and destroyedst them."

Now, we mentioned before that the lineage of the high priests from Aaron to Ezra differs in numbers of generations (17 or 20) and names as presented in 1 and 2 Ezdras; and both differ in names from the book of Ezra. We also find differences in the lineages from Noah to Jesus (approximately 51 generations) in the Bible. Is it any wonder, therefore, that some generations could have been omitted in the Adam to Noah line? Not to mention the Noah to Jesus line? And the Aaron to Ezra line?

And in light of the fact that, in addition to overwhelming evidence, there are countless legends in the Asia-Pacific areas, handed down from the inundation of 11,500 years ago, of a creation much like that of Genesis I and II, is it not possible that "the man" of the Genesis story became confused with Adam throughout the thousands of years, and through a succeeding cataclysm in Noah's time 7,000 years ago?

The miracle is that the whole story of "creation " and of Adam and Eve is as undistorted as it is; being 11,500 years old, it has suffered through many debacles visited upon its guardians in the intervening years.

Because of the lack of resolving information, "the man" and Adam are kept as one in this translation - interpretation.

6. The significant Naga glyphs given to us by Ezra through Moses' direct reading are: Cherubims, Rib, Adam's sleep, Man, Woman, Tree, Fruit on the tree, Serpent, and Flaming Sword.

Our knowledge of Naga glyphs tells us that the tree (of life) symbolized a mother continent, a parent civilization lasting thousands of years longer than ours of today.

An unadorned serpent represented water in its natural state, or the ocean; a serpent entwined around the tree signified that the mother continent was surrounded entirely by water. Genesis III, 15 actually describes Eve's heel on the serpent's head, depicting her victory over the oceans.

Cherubims - which were not pretty, plump babies as we have always thought - but glyphs of hybrid man and beast. They were the glyphs for legs, or foundations, or underpinnings. Instead of being placed in the garden of Eden, the foundation was taken away; and a Naga or Mayan reading of the Egyptian Book of the Dead shows that cherubims of the North, South, East and West were taken away - meaning that all the foundations of the mother continent were removed and destroyed.
