| Re:Nemesis Brian - I am glad you found the Niburu Stuff interesting as it is a subject I have been interested in for years, as a bit of an amateur skeptical parapsychologist. The theories of Nibiru are for the most part rash and unsubstansiated, but in some cases the evidence given is remarkably convincing given the outlandish subject matter. All the stuff relating to the Bible is just a case of people finding connections where none exist. If memory serves me correctly, the theory basically says that when you translate the Bible from its earliest known form all references to God are mistaken. The word used as God is Elohim, which apparently translates, not as "God", but as "Those who came from the sky". In the simplest example, "God created man", Becomes "Those who came from the sky created man". I'm sure you get the message.
"The B'nai Elohim saw the daughters of Adam, that they were fit extensions. And they took wives for themselves from all those that they chose...The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when the B'nai Elohim came in to the daughters of Adam, and they bore to them -- they were Powerful Ones which existed from ancient times, the men of name."
From The Interlinear Hebrew Bible - Genesis 6
Whereas all this Bible side of things can easily be dismissed. The Sumerians knowledge of Astronomy cannot. I think thos is the reason that even now, probably 4 or 5 years after reading about the theory, I still find it facinating. If they knew about Pluto, its entirely possibly (if still unlikely) that Nibiru exists. This is what really facinates me. If you strip away all the conjecture, theorey, and utter *****, you are still left with a race who had a grasp of Science and Space that was 4000 years ahead of itself.
As for it influencing your books, it brought a smile to my face to read this. It does make for a great story if nothing else. If you find the time to put it on here I would qute like to read it, or you could email it too me if you get a chance. If not don't worry about it. Also, where could I get a copy(s) of your books as I am quite interested in reading them.
Good "Those who came from the sky" it's late. I should get some sleep. LOL ;D |
