Well, let me say, in the 90s, I was a member of an organization called BAR, Biblical Archaeology Review.

And the idea is that you...

You follow the instructions in the text, and you go someplace, and you dig, and there is what the text is talking about from 3,000 years ago.

So they use that to try to validate the events, not the religiosity, but the events.

In the Mesopotamian texts, when we talk about the king's list, you've had guests on that talked about the king's list in Sumeria that talks—it literally says when—

when the kingship descended from the heavens to the earth, and then it gives the list of the kings, and then there was another flood, and they evacuated, and they came back, and then they created humans.

And it actually lines up date-wise with the 200,000, 250,000 years of when we were created, but there's no religion involved.

So two different languages.

Are we talking about an advanced civilization created

And our relationship to them a long time ago, we're talking about angels and demons from a long time ago.

Are we talking about beings with with wings in the religious tradition?

Or when you look at the Sumerian traditions, the kings all had wings as well.

Right.

But they're telling the same story.

And what the story is, is that we.

were the product of an intentional act, and we were imbued with a force that was greater even than those who created us.

And there has been an effort from that time to deny us that force.

I don't know.

That is from, if you're familiar with the Gnostic texts.

In the Gnostic texts, the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1946-47, the oldest unedited records of the Old Testament.
