The True Origin Of The Bible: The Shocking Truth About The Bible's Hidden Past

The True Origin Of The Bible: The Shocking Truth About The Bible's Hidden Past

Throughout our human history, few civilizations have left as profound a mark as the ancient Sumerians. Flourishing in the land between the rivers, they gifted the world with complex stories, beliefs, and cultural treasures that still influence our world even today. But did you know that back then, their influence extended far beyond the boundaries of their own civilization? It might be shocking, but within the sacred pages of the Hebrew Bible, in the stories of creation, floods, and divine encounters, there are ancient Sumerian roots that predate the Biblical period. What secrets lie within these ancient texts? And how did the Sumerians shape the Biblical stories we hold dear? We’ll find out in the new episode of Secret Origins. Welcome!

Stories have always played a big role in ancient Near Eastern literature, which includes the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Torah or the Tanakh. The Bible, which is a collection of different works by many writers over a long time, takes inspiration from various cultural and literary traditions, surprisingly including those of the Sumerians.

The Sumerians were an ancient civilization in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), existing around 4000 to 2000 BCE. They left behind many stories and myths. You can see their influence in the Bible in different stories and themes, especially the Sumerian creation myth, the Enuma Elish. This myth has a lot in common with the creation story in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. But how? Well, both stories talk about how order was made from chaos and the separation of heaven and earth. In Genesis 1:2, the earth is described as empty and dark, with God's spirit moving over the water. The Enuma Elish also talks about this "water" through the characters Apsu and Tiamat, which shows similar themes and language.

The Epic of Gilgamesh, another Sumerian story, has a flood tale that is a lot older than the story of Noah's Ark in the Bible. The similarities between the two stories, including building an ark, saving animals, and sending out a dove to find land, suggest that the Noah's Ark story might have taken some ideas from the Sumerian flood tale.

The Sumerians also had one of the earliest established legal codes, the Sumerian Code of Ur-Nammu. This code had a big influence on later legal codes in the ancient Near East, including laws in the Bible books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy. Both legal codes share ideas like "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

The Proverbs in the Bible are also a lot like Sumerian wisdom literature, such as the Instructions of Shuruppak and the Instructions of Amenemope. Both types of literature give moral guidance and practical advice for life. The writers of the Hebrew Bible adapted these Sumerian stories to fit their own religious and cultural context, showing the clear influence of Sumerian literature on the themes, ideas, and story structures of the Hebrew Bible.

Stories from the ancient city of Ugarit, now in modern-day Syria, also had an influence on the Bible. Ugarit was active during the Late Bronze Age, from 1400 to 1200 BCE, and their cuneiform texts give us important information about the religious and cultural context of the ancient Near East.

The texts from Ugarit include myths, epics, and ritualistic scripts that share themes and contribute to elements of the Hebrew Bible. One Ugaritic text, the Baal Cycle, which tells myths about the Canaanite god Baal, shares themes with stories in the Bible. For example, the Baal Cycle talks about a god battling chaotic forces, which is also a theme in the Psalms in the Bible. Ugaritic texts also talk about a divine assembly led by a supreme god, El, which is a similar idea to the Heavenly Council in the Hebrew Bible, led by Yahweh.

Ugaritic texts about rituals give us a detailed look at religious rituals for different Ugaritic gods, helping us understand the religious practices and beliefs of the ancient Near East. Some researchers suggest these Ugaritic rituals might have influenced Israelite worship, including the structure and content of Psalms. The Ugaritic language, which is very similar to Hebrew, provides language parallels that help us understand certain biblical terms and expressions, improving our understanding and interpretation of Hebrew words in the Bible.

if I got to ever meet the Sumarians, I would be very interested in finding out how they got started, even though I believe in myself, I would love to find out how many origins of life there truly are.

The assumarian theory .

Sumerians came after the flood, so it makes sense that the Sumerians got their knowledge through oral tradition handed down from Noah, Son of Lamech, son of Methusela . Knowledge came long before the first writings known to man in the middle east .

All were righteous That's how they were perfect in their generations in comparison with the rest of mankind .

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing in the hands of someone who doesn't fully understand

Sumerians might have invented the first written language. They did not however began the story of the Bible.
Yes sure.
Two thousand years ago in a land where women would get stoned for committing adultery and men thrown in jail for breaking the Sabbath law of not working that day and people like Romans would kill non Romans for pleasure some sheep headers and peasants who could barely read and write got together and decided to tell stories that manipulated society to turn away from all these things I described. They even managed to write these stories down in one generation and translate it from Hebrew to Greek then Latin with ease.
What a fascinating conspiracy modern people have come up with.
