Anunnaki history and the role of Reptilian ETs - Part 1
The entire hypothesis that the ancient Near Eastern people had a religion rests on only one support, and that is the interpretation of “ilu” as “gods”. If this support is shown to be false, as it will be momentarily, the entire hypothesis of ancient Near Eastern religion collapses and must be discarded.
The premise that “ilu” means “gods” is false simply because this is not what the ancient Akkadian word means. Its literal meaning in Akkadian is “tall guys”. This literal meaning is accepted by the mainstream linguists, and yet they continue to claim that even though “tall guys” is the literal meaning, what the Akkadians and the Assyrians and the Babylonians really meant was “gods”. Why, I wonder, such insistence? What evidence is this claim based on?
All evidence in fact points that the literal meaning of “ilu” as “tall guys” was in fact the intended meaning. The ilu were clearly anthropomorphic beings much taller than ordinary humans. In every depiction where ilu and ordinary people are shown side by side the ilu are much taller. From both ancient evidence and some modern evidence to be discussed, I have estimated the height of the ilu as 4.5 m, or 14 to 15 ft.
A clarification is in order here. Four thousands years ago I would not have had to tell you this, since if you lived in those times you would have been taught this in school, but 4000 years of a powerful directed misinformation campaign have taken their toll, and it’ll take me some effort here to clarify some basics for you.
The ancient peoples had no gods in the sense you are probably accustomed to. Consider, for example, the ancient Near East. Throughout the two millennia preceding the birth of Christ, this area was politically dominated by the two powerful kingdoms of Assyria and Babylon. The language spoken throughout the area was Akkadian.
The popular notions about those people’s gods and religion are erroneous, however. These incorrect notions stem quite simply from a mistranslation of one Akkadian word. The Akkadian cuneiform tablets speak extensively about the affairs of ilu. The word “ilu” has been commonly mistranslated as “gods”, and this is what gives rise to the popular notions about ancient Near Eastern religion.
