Life Source God - Alu

Etruscan Orcus Tomb 2, Image 4, Life God Hu Surrounded by Gods Alu and Yahu/Yahweh 490 BCE

(Sept. 16, 2023) The last image clockwise around the room shows a dejected life network god Hu standing between Alu and Ayu. Previously these deities were misidentified as Vanth, Agamemnon, and Tiresias. Each plant in this scene divides the layers of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm which are represented by their main deities. From left to right are the god Alu, a dejected god Hu representing the malfunctioning network, and god Yahu. The left plant has 6 nymphs representing the 6 known planets of the sky shell between Hu and Alu. These planets are: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

Sumerian Description of Life Source God AN (Alu)

(September 16, 2023) The European Neolithic farmers who became the Druid civilization split off from Mesopotamian culture around 8500 BCE. Consequently, the two cultures have much in common.  The Sumerian name for Alu was Anu and he is mentioned and illustrated on this Sumerian cylinder seal dated to around 2200 BCE. Her is is kneeling on top of the sky shell and pouring out 3 streams of fertility fluids, one of which is being transferred the chaotic storm horned god for passing on to the earth as rain. The other two streams likely represent ground water and sea water. The text translation is:

  1. AN's ejections are the milk which fills the fertility-fluids for the land.
  2. Fertility-fluids
  3. The cloud's streams are passing-through to the earth
  4. Storage is being filled by the fertility-fluids
  5. Pests are ejected
  6. Serve wisdom

These are now located in the British Museum but the translation provided by them is completely wrong. This can be sensed by the reader because it makes no sense and has a lot of names (translation wildcards). While existing cuneiform translations are fairly good for commercial texts, academic linguist have not been able to take cuneiform translations to the next level of precision by translating to the scholars standard. This is really obvious when translations of religious texts are attempted.

Sun God Tablet References 850 BCE (Elijah) Drought

(July 3, 2022) The top of the Sun God Tablet shows a complex bas relief. It was printed from one of several limestone molds so it could be copied and sent to several surrounding temples. The tablet and molds were discovered inside an inscribed terracotta chest (BM 91004). The chest is dated to the reign of Nabonidus (Nabu-apla-iddina ca. 888 – 855 BC), three centuries after the Sun God Tablet first appeared. The assemblage was excavated by Hormuzd Rassam in 1881 at Abū Habbah, and proved that site’s identification with ancient Sippar.

The bas relief shows the life source god Anu seated in his house above the sky shell. "Anu" is the Mesopotamian Akkadian word for the life power source power while the Mediterranean word is "Alu." In the text his powers are being blocked by the large sun disk radiating light and rain representing the god Atu. This means  Anu's powers of rain production cannot reach the two mortal ambassadors approaching him. Behind the two mortals is another deity or priest indicated by his snake hat who has his arms raised. 

Anu is holding the masculine/feminine power symbols (Athame and Chalice equivalents). Above the personified Ahu's head are the symbols representing the life powers belonging to his house (class of life powers). They are the moon goddess Inanna (Ishtar), sun god Atu, and manifestation god Ea (Yahu). The text in his house reads:

  1. The confused divine threads are setting out from the stable and are trampling down Anu's afflicted.
  2. Destitute divine threads are trampling down a number of food supply divine fluids

Above the house of Anu is probably the motion powers source god Su whose night sky motion powers are manipulating the threads of the life network by pulling the strings of Atu's network. This manipulation is what is really blocking the rain. The top right corner text reads beside the string puller reads (translation by Olmsted):

  1. Anu is confused, Anu is afflicted. The destitute divine thread connections of Anu to Ea are trampling down the Fathers. 
  2. The divine thread openings appear destitute to Father Anu and pronounce to the divine messengers and the Twins the surrounding food supply affliction.

The Twins mentioned in the text were the charioteers who who pulled the sun across the sky-shell and through the atmosphere. As such they became associated with traveling. In Greek culture they became the stars Castor and Pollux in the constellation Gemini.  Ea is the earth manifesting power of the life-growth power generated by Anu. The text above the two people and Ea reads:

  1. The oven (domed sky-shell) is starving a number of Anu's divine threads which are afflicting (the remaining) number of threads by forcefully hurrying the divine fluids of our
  2. fertility-fluid priests of the cloister. The afflicted (threads) are confusing the divine threads of the stable hands (magic crafters)
  3. EA? has dried up, Si'u (full moon power) is crushed, the Father's tools are crushed, NUN (water power) has dried up.
