Was there genetic engineering in ancient times? Did the Sumerian god Enki create clones?
The idea that ancient aliens modified human DNA plays a vital role in the Ancient Astronauts theory.
According to the late author and researcher Zecharia Sitchin the Anunnaki, a group of extraterrestrials that visited our planet in the past genetically engineered Homo sapiens as slave creatures to work their gold mines by crossing extraterrestrial genes with those of Homo erectus.
Zecharia Sitchin was not the only one who suggested humans are genetically created by highly advanced extraterrestrial beings.
A deeper investigation of the subject revelas there is a connection between ancient genetic engineering and prehistoric weapons of mass destruction.
According to author Joseph Robert Jochmans who specializes on ancient mysteries, “in the Sanskrit text known as the Samara Sutradhara, we find mention of the use of two biological weapons, each of which produced its own results: the Samhara debilitated its victims by attacking the motor center of the brain; and the Moha caused blockage of nerve impulses, resulting in complete paralysis.
In the Chinese Feng-Shen-Ven-I, we find similar descriptions of germ warfare, and again reference is made to specific weapons causing specific results.
What these descriptions imply is that the ancients once actively created and produced strains of microbes — much in the same way many modern governments are secretly conducting research to find new and deadly forms of microbes for military purposes.Just how far the ancients took their experiments may be found in an enigma that still affects mankind today — the Virus.
When first discovered, viruses were thought to be an intermediary step between life and non-life.
In an inert state, it is much like an inorganic crystal, but when active it acts with a purposeful manner, and duplicates by using biological processes.But as the virus has come under more and more scientific scrutiny, several disturbing facts have emerged. The most important is that viruses have a high degree of host specificity — in other words, it is as if they were designed to attack man, and man alone. And since man is supposedly only a recent arrival on this planet, the virus too must be a recent phenomenon. But where did it come from?
As Mooney, in “Gods Of Air and Darkness”, noted: “Viruses have recently been synthesized in our modern research laboratories by recombining existing virus material, thus producing new strains not found in nature. Therefore it is not impossible that a highly advanced society in the past may have done a similar thing. This would connect closely with the reports of biological weapons in ancient documents.”
Producing New Deadly Forms'
Going one step further, modern researchers are also experimenting with changing the structure of DNA, the basic building blocks of life, which contain the codes of identity in the genetics of the individual. Already new forms have been produced which could prove to be deadly, and would be a serious threat if uncontrolled, because they have the ability to reproduce themselves.
The virus is a little machine that accomplishes the very same thing, only in a specific manner: It contains a core of altered DNA material that it injects into the nucleus of a human cell, and the DNA in that cell is transformed to reproduce the virus form. As a result, the cell is reorganized to produce more viruses, not cells; and when the cell disintegrates, its mutated offspring spread to attack and inject themselves into other cells — and the process begins again, only multiplied. Did someone in the unknown past design the virus as a biological weapon?
If so, it presupposes a knowledge of genetic engineering that is not very far removed from our own.
The extent to which the ancients carried out their genetic studies may be hinted at in a new development taking place in modern research.
In 1975, Dr. Nils Ringertz of the Swedish Institute for Medical Research and Genetics announced the successful crossing of genes of entirely different genera, to produce hybrid cells: His team had combined the genetic material of a man with a rat, a man with a chicken — and even of a man with an insect! In each case, the cell produced began to multiply — in other words, if it had been allowed to grow, each cell would have developed into the monstrosity created by the genetic combination, a “man-rat”, a “man-chick”, or a “man-insect”.
Dr. Ringertz assured his colleagues that the purpose of his experiment was to produce the hybrid cells, and these were destroyed once they began to multiply, so that the monstrosities could not mature into living creatures. But the procedure he used was simple enough that it could be duplicated, in any genetic laboratory — and one wonders if over the past few years, other researchers have gone ahead and secretly allowed such creatures to live and grow. Because the possible genetic combinations are limitless, the kinds of hybrid creatures that could be created is also endless. And if such creatures ever accidentally escaped . . . ?
So What’s Nws?
In imagining what kind of monstrosities might one day be loosed upon the world, there is the sudden realization that we have seen these combinations before — in the artwork and mythology of practically every ancient civilization.
There we find the mermaid (man-fish), centaur (man-horse), satyr (man-goat), harpy (man-bird), and the sphinx (man-lion). And there are other well-known combinations: pegasus (horse-bird), griffon (bird-lion), capricorn (goat-fish), and the gargoyle (ape-bird).
perhaps the most startling revelations of the advanced nature of ancient research into the manipulation of the building blocks of life come to us from Sumerian inscriptions, dated between 4,000 and 5,000 years old. Several legends speak of a time when “god-men” ruled the world of prehistory; and in order to work the mines of the land of Apsu — identified with southern Africa — the Sumerian deities decided to create a Lulu, or primitive worker, who would do the actual digging and other hard labor. The god Enki was placed in charge of the task to “bring about the work of great wisdom”, and he, with the Mother Goddess, Ninhursag, began to fashion the Lulu. The place where the creation took place was called the Bit Shimti — the “house where the breath of life is breathed in”.
Upon entering the house”, Ninhursag first “washed her hands” as any lab worker would, and called to her lab assistants to prepare the first ingredient: “Mix the core of clay, from the depths of the Earth in Apsu — and shape it into the form of a core; I have knowledgeable young gods, who will bring the clay to the right condition.”
The Akkadian term for clay is Tit (molding clay); but in its earliest spelling, ti-it, it also meant “that which has life”. In the Hebrew, Tit means “mud”, with its synonym “bos” related to “bisa” (marsh) and “besa” (egg). These connotations, clay-marsh-egg, hint at stages of development in the creation of the cell. First, the substance began as a clay. In 1974, Dr. Graham Cairn-Smith of the University of Glasgow’s Department of Chemistry, announced a new theory on the origins of life. Dr. Cairn-Smith was not satisfied that the first threads of nucleic organic material floating in the primaeval sea could have come together by chance, but must have needed a structural catalyst within which the threads formed into the first complex DNA patterns. Clay, he believes, was the ideal catalyst.
Clay has a crystalline structure that has the ability to retain and “print” a pattern upon new material. As Dr. Cairn-Smith noted: “Clay consists of stacks thin, interlocking plates containing aluminum and silicon atoms that can be arranged in random patterns. These patterns can undergo changes as new clays ‘print’ near old layers. This is a system capable of development by natural selection, by trial and error — the first stages necessary to produce molecules and arrangements of molecules that would eventually form the more complex systems of early life forms.”
The Blueprint Of Man
More recently, in 1977, Dr. James Lawless of NASA’s Ames Research Center, together with Dr. Edward Edelson and Lewis Manning, of the American Chemical Society, succeeded in demonstrating that clay containing nickel will attract amino acids; and the concentrated amino acids will then link up to form chains similar to protein. Dr. Cairn-Smith stated, “In simple terms, clay therefore could have been the basis of life: the Blueprint of Man.” (Ed. Which reminds us of Elihu to Job, 33:6, “I also am formed out of the clay.” -RHC)
The next stage_of the “clay” development, according to the Hebrew-Akkadian word connotations, was that it became like a “marsh” — that is, the clay material was mixed with simple organic material, as one find in marshland ooze. In the Sumerian texts, this is seen in the Mother Goddess Ninhursag’s command that chemicals called “bitumens of Apsu” be used to “purify” or “impregnate” the clay. Bitumen is a petroleum substance made up of very complex hydrocarbon chains — the basis of organic chemistry. What is described, in essence, is that organic chains were mixed in the clay, and the clay patterns began to “print” the chains into more complex structures, such as DNA.
That this shaping process was directed can be seen in the “young gods” or lab assistants shaping the clay into a specific mold, bringing it into the “right condition”. Enki, the text states, further ordered the assistants to “bind upon the mixture the mold of the gods” — or, carefully design the organic material into the genetic codes of a human-like creature. The result, in the last stage, was the formation of an egg or cell.
the next major step, once a cell was produced, was to give the cell an “essence” or code of life. This was done by adding blood. The text reads: “I will prepare a solution. Let one god be bled… his blood. Let Ninhursag mix with the clay-egg.”
The Akkadian texts make it clear that what was being sought in the blood was Napishtu, or an “essence” related to Shi-im-ti, the “breath-wind-life”. The key is in the name of the god from whom the blood was finally taken — Te-e-ma. According to translators W.G. Lambert and A. R. Millard of Oxford University, the name means “personality”, with the further connotation “that contained within which binds the memory”. This is nothing less than a description of the gene, the element which gives the cell life, and directs the cell to begin the process of reproduction.
The inscriptions tell of the delicate operation by which the god Ea “purified the Napishtu” and offered the solution to Ninhursag, who carefully held the clay-egg-cell. But it was Enki who performed the crucial injection: He blows in” the “breath-wind’ into the cell, and gave it life. The injection was successful for the cell began to multiply.
Impregnation of the Birth-Goddess
The next and final step involved artificial impregnation. Ninhursag “cut off 14 pieces of the clay-egg-cell” — she selected 14 cells out of the newly-dividing creation. There then follows a description of the coming of 14 Birth-Goddesses to the operating table: Everything is detailed, from the shaving of the pubic hair, the preparing of the scalpels and surgical instruments, and finally the operations themselves. Within each, one of the 14 selected cells was placed in the womb, and the cells began to grow into living beings.
Once the experiment proved successful, it appears the process of artificial impregnation was repeated again and again, the cells being used all from the original cell created by Enki, Ninhursag, and Ea. The result would have been the production of a multitude of Clones — creatures that looked exactly alike. A scene depicted on a rock carving found,in the mountains of Elam near Sumer shows a seated god holding a flask from which liquid is pouring — a familiar representation of Enki, A goddess is seated next to him — Ninhursag — and about the pair are lesser deities, very likely the birth-goddesses who partook in the great experiment of creation. Facing the birth-goddesses, Enki and Ninhursag are row upon row of dwarfish, long-haired man-like creatures who look like a multitude of identical twins — as if they had been produced from the same mold.
Who were these dwarfish creatures?
Perhaps the answer may be found in the reason for the creatures’ creation: They were to become “primitive workers” in the mines of Apsu or southern Africa. It is not without significance that this area has turned up some of the oldest prehistoric mines in the world — as well as forms of ape-men that have become a puzzle to anthropologists: Australopithecus robustus and agile, Zinjanthropus and Homo Habilis.
Were these forms, instead of being so-called “ancestors” of man, actually the result of genetic creation by unknown experimenters in the past? Perhaps someday we will find the secret when the Bit Shimti is unearthed — the laboratory-house where enigmatic “gods” manipulated the “breath of life”. . .
