What got me started on that was finding out that GOD seems to have had a wife in ancient Hebrew. (Circa 800 BC) A female deity called Asherah. A little more digging brought up two more names. Astarte and Istar/Ishtar. That didn't answer anything, but it did raise many more questions. In ancient Hebrew, YAHWEH means "I am as I was", or "I am as I will be". Jehovah derived from that, so it's not actually His name. With all the Biblical patriarchs that heard His words and spoke with Him, surely, someone must have known His name. Among other places, I plan to take another "walk" through the "writings of gilgamesh" again.
The only thing I know that predates the Flood WW, is the Sumerian mythology, which goes hand in hand with Judaism and most other mythologist's writing.. I think it is the base of it all, and who knows maybe Abraham was the only one at the time to hear the Annanaki..Originally Posted by Windwalker
Actually, that's exactly what I have in mind. Once I know the name that was used to address GOD just prior and just after the flood, I expect to find the keys to many more doors. Yahweh didn't come along till the ancient Hebrews. But, that was also after the flood. What got me started on that was finding out that GOD seems to have had a wife in ancient Hebrew.
