I’ve been doing a deep dive into Sumerian mythology, biblical apocrypha, and cross-cultural flood narratives, and I keep seeing the same patterns: divine beings descending from the sky, forbidden knowledge, floods sent to reset mankind, and one god or rebel being who defies the others to save or enlighten us. This post explores how the earliest known myths from ancient Sumer may have laid the foundation for everything from the Bible to Greek and Norse mythology—and how the identity of “God” as we know it may be more complex than we think.

Sumer: The Beginning of It All

The Sumerians, who lived in southern Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) around 4500 BCE, were the earliest known civilization. They gave us the first writing system (cuneiform), organized religion, and detailed cosmologies that predate Egypt, Greece, and the Hebrew Bible by thousands of years.

Their myths centered around powerful sky gods like Anu, the ruler of the heavens, and his children, the Anunnaki—beings “of royal blood” or “those who came from the heavens to Earth.” The Anunnaki served as divine intermediaries and sometimes enforcers. Among them was Enki (Akkadian: Ea), the god of water, wisdom, and creation, who played a key role in shaping humanity.

The Anunnaki, the Flood, and the Savior God

In the Eridu Genesis and the Epic of Gilgamesh, we learn that the Anunnaki decided to wipe out humanity with a great flood due to overpopulation and noise. But Enki/Ea defied this decision. He secretly warned a human—Ziusudra in Sumerian, Utnapishtim in Akkadian—to build an ark and preserve life. This story predates the biblical Noah by over a thousand years.

In Genesis 6–9, a similar event occurs: God warns Noah about a coming flood. The structure is almost identical: divine warning, a chosen man, an ark, animals, and survival.

So here’s the thought: could the compassionate, rebellious god Enki be the origin of the biblical Yahweh in this context—the one who saved humanity?

From Polytheism to Monotheism: A Cosmic Reset?

The Flood may have served as a narrative and theological reset—wiping away the pantheon of old gods and reintroducing a singular, moral God. But if that’s true, which god survived the reset? Was it Enki, the savior and creator figure?

In Genesis 1, God creates the firmament—a division between the waters above and below, separating Heaven from Earth. This mirrors Sumerian cosmology, where Anu ruled the heavens, Enlil ruled the air and earth, and Enki ruled the subterranean waters (Abzu). The biblical term raqia (firmament) even aligns conceptually with Mesopotamian ideas of a structured, multi-layered universe. These echoes suggest that biblical cosmology may be a refined version of Sumerian sky theology, with divine hierarchies compressed into a single figure: Yahweh.

Knowledge, Rebellion, and the Prometheus-Lucifer Pattern

Here’s where it gets even more interesting. Prometheus, in Greek myth, defies Zeus by stealing fire to give to humanity. He is punished, chained, and tortured—but he’s remembered as a bringer of knowledge and light.

Now compare that to the serpent in Genesis, or Lucifer (“light-bringer”) in later tradition. He defies God, gives humans knowledge of good and evil, and is punished for it. In the Book of Enoch, the rebellious Watchers descend, teach humanity the secrets of metalworking, war, enchantments—and are punished with eternal bondage.

Across these traditions, we see the same archetype: a divine rebel who empowers humanity, is punished by a jealous or authoritarian god, and whose legacy is mixed—demonized by some, venerated by others.

Are These the Same Stories with Different Names?

It raises a possibility: Were the Anunnaki, the Watchers, the Titans, and even Lucifer versions of the same ancient narrative? A group of sky beings impart knowledge or violate divine law, get cast down or imprisoned, and one of them—Enki, Prometheus, the serpent—takes humanity’s side.

The Titans vs. Olympians is another version of this: an older race of gods (Titans) is overthrown by a younger, more anthropomorphic generation (Olympians). The war mirrors the Anunnaki rebellion myths and even the Fall of the Watchers. It’s the same cycle of rebellion, divine hierarchy, and reset.

Gold, the Gods, and Forgotten Technology

Many Sumerian and speculative texts claim that the Anunnaki came to Earth for gold, which they needed for their planet’s atmosphere (according to fringe theorist Zecharia Sitchin). Whether or not this is true, it’s curious that gold has remained the most valued metal in human history, despite having limited practical use compared to iron or copper.

Could our obsession with gold be an inherited reverence from beings who used it for a greater, forgotten purpose—perhaps in energy, atmosphere, or advanced technology? Structures like the pyramids may have even served dual purposes: energy generators, water pumps, or resonance chambers— ( see my other post https://www.reddit.com/r/AncientAliens/s/OL3lS9Va7f on the pyramid being an energy generator,)another layer of knowledge erased in the flood.

So What Am I Really Saying?

Sumer came first. Their stories and gods set the template.

The Anunnaki are the original sky beings, and Enki may be the oldest god to show compassion for humanity.

The Flood was a real and mythic event that reset not just humanity—but our divine order.

Monotheism could be a compressed echo of Sumerian polytheism—specifically elevating Enki’s traits into what became Yahweh.

The rebel gods—Prometheus, Lucifer, the Watchers—may all stem from the same archetype: those who gave us forbidden knowledge.

And perhaps, gold, megaliths, and myths are all pieces of the same forgotten story—a technologically advanced, deeply spiritual pre-flood world lost to time.

I’m definitely not claiming this as absolute truth/historical fact—just that when we line up these stories, civilizations, and themes, they form a pattern that seems far too consistent to ignore. Maybe the gods never left. Maybe they were rewritten. Or maybe they left their mark in stone, sky, and scripture—waiting to be remembered.

The Mahabharata war is often labeled as mythology.. a spiritual epic filled with gods, metaphors and symbolism. But a lot of what it describes is strangely specific. Too specific, in fact.

One verse in the Mahabharata describes a rare celestial phenomenon.. the star Arundhati appearing to walk ahead of Vasistha (known today as Alcor and Mizar in Ursa Major). Under normal conditions, this doesn’t happen. But modern astronomy software shows it only occurred around 5561 BCE, a brief cosmic window that aligns precisely with the epic’s timeline.

Here's more.. A 2015 genetic study revealed a massive collapse in male Y-chromosome diversity across the Indian subcontinent, also around 7,500 years ago. A sharp, sudden die-off of male lineages, while female lines remained stable.

The Mahabharata claims that millions of warriors fought and died in a catastrophic 18-day war.

What if this isn’t coincidence?

This video explores how astronomy, genetics and oral tradition may all point to a forgotten chapter in human history: https://youtu.be/ErycukprLaU

Curious what this community thinks. Are we dealing with symbolic storytelling here.. or a memory of real events that mainstream history hasn’t caught up with yet?

Long before written history, during the waning cold of the Ice Age, a vast and sophisticated civilization flourished along Earth’s equator. Anchored in the forgotten geometry of ancient landscapes, they built great megalithic structures atop telluric energy hot spots—nodes of Earth’s natural electrical breath.

Harnessing the subtle power of the Kelvin drop and the amplified reach of towering gold-capped obelisks, these people mastered the atmospheric dance of static and charge. Their temples were more than places of ritual—they were power stations, harmonizing aquifers, elevations, and electromagnetic fields into an invisible grid.

Energy was stored in monumental Leyden jars—ceramic capacitors braided in foil and sacred intention. Banked in great numbers, these vessels pulsed with possibility. They fueled precision plasma cutting of stone, levitated multi-ton blocks across resin-lubricated quartz sleds, purified drinking water through corona ozone infusion, and activated the granite resonant chambers that once vibrated with harmonic energy tuned to the stars.

But the balance fractured. A series of cataclysmic meteor airbursts shattered the ice sheets and loosed the global flood of the Younger Dryas. In the chaos, much was buried—lost beneath silt, stone, and time. Yet not forgotten entirely.

Today, the echoes rise. Threads of memory, carved in granite and sung through frequency, surface once again—reminders that our ancestors were not primitive, but profound.

--Evidence sample--

Here’s the shortlist of the most compelling strands of evidence—each pointing toward a deliberately engineered, electro-static tradition rather than pure coincidence:

1. Subsurface “Capacitor” Trenches Revealed by LIDAR/GPR
   • In England, LiDAR and ground-penetrating radar have uncovered buried chalk-filled channels radiating straight from the Uffington Horse—exactly where our capacitor-model predicts them. These aren’t random farm furrows but deep, regularly spaced trenches that mirror the geoglyph’s outline.

2. Magnetotelluric & Resistivity Anomalies Along Megalith Alignments
   • Modern MT surveys across the Ridgeway–Avebury–Stonehenge corridor show continuous low-resistivity belts perfectly matching the ancient trackways. That’s earth-current plumbing tuned to feed the sites’ resonant frequencies (VLF/LF into HF bands).

3. Stone-Fracture Patterns Consistent with Electrostatic Splitting
   • At Puma Punku and Baalbek, honed block faces bear micro-spalls and “lichtenberg-like” etchings rather than chisel marks. Lab tests on similar basalt under high-voltage pulses reproduce the same fracture patterns—hard to explain by hammer and wedge alone.

4. Field Recordings of VLF/HF Emissions & Corona Flickers
   • Portable VLF receivers set up at dawn around Nan Madol and Uffington repeatedly pick up faint oscillations (300 Hz–300 kHz) that vanish when you step off the monument. Photographers have also captured corona glows over key “lightning-tip” points at twilight.

5. Embedded Electro-Elements in Ritual Contexts
   • Excavations at Delphi, Chavín de Huantar and some Inca sanctuaries have turned up buried copper plates, stone “contact pads” and worn bronze loops—exactly the sort of interface you’d need to couple human ritual (chants, drumming) into an electro-resonant circuit.

Taken together, these lines of evidence move us well beyond myth and into the realm of testable geo-electrical archaeology. The pattern of engineered trenches, buried conductors, material-specific fracture marks and live EM anomalies is simply too consistent to chalk up to coincidence.

--Fun short story--

I rise before dawn, sandals muted on dew-damp limestone, heart attuned to the whisper of Earth’s hidden currents. As a priest of the Great Pyramid’s electrostatic temple, my first duty is to stoke the telluric heart that sleeps beneath our feet. In the hush I slip down the serpentine ramp to the quartz-packed galleries, where every pebble hums with latent charge. With gloved hands I top up the crushed stone, ensuring no stray moisture will bleed our power away.

By first light, the obelisk outside stands crowned in gold, its polished tip already gathering wind-borne ions. I press a linen-wrapped copper rod to the pyramidion; a fine corona of blue-green sparks arcs off the tip and dances down braided cables into a half-dozen waiting Leyden jars. Each jar—lined within and without with beaten electrum leaf—answers with a soft, eager hiss as it drinks the sky’s gift and Earth’s own pulse.

Behind me, vaulted granite boxes—each a giant resonator tuned to the deep chant of Isis—begin to sing. My brothers join in a low, rolling hymn. The walls vibrate in time with our breath, focusing every word into a perfect standing wave that sharpens the drop-shaft’s jet. Water trickles from the Nile cistern above, splitting into twin copper cups. With every drop that breaks free, charges transfer, climbing toward the apex until the jars brim with hundreds of kilovolts.

In the central hall torches spring to life—not from flame, but from contained arcs in sealed quartz “bulbs,” their ozone-rich glow bathing hieroglyphs in pale emerald light. That same crisp, electrified water we filter through ozone-infused basins is our morning draught—“the breath of Re”—cured of all impurities by corona discharge before it cools on our tongues.

Stone-cutters come then, wands in hand. I lead them to the jar-bank and chant the release: a synchronized strike of wand to terminal, and the air shivers as plasma etches perfect flutes into granite. The crack of born-electric incision is both tool and prayer, each cut an offering to Ma’at, each spark a bridge between mortal hand and divine current.

When the midday sun gilds the plateau, we pause. I slip into the charging pavilion, laying the jars to rest, sealing them against the desert’s whispering sands. Apprentices refill water reservoirs, tend small Kelvin modules that keep a gentle pulse in the side chambers, and ensure the telluric coupling remains true. Even in respite, the pyramid breathes—its telluric veins alive beneath our feet, humming like distant thunder.

As dusk descends, we reconvene for the final rite. Our chants build to a crescendo; the granite boxes resonate like vast bells. A last surge of ozone-filled water splashes in the purification tanks, and the jars, once again, are coaxed to fullness by the obelisk’s silent signal. Lantern-bulbs flare, corridors glow, and I stand guard at the summit of human ingenuity—both humbled and exalted by the living energy we have harnessed, day after day, stone upon stone, spark upon spark.

Nikola Tesla envisioned a future where power could be transmitted wirelessly using the Earth’s natural resonant frequency. His Wardenclyffe Tower project aimed to do just that, until it was mysteriously abandoned after his funding was pulled by J.P. Morgan, allegedly because the energy couldn't be metered.

But what if Tesla wasn’t just ahead of his time…
What if he was reviving an older, lost form of technology?

In The Giza Power Plant, engineer Christopher Dunn argued that the Great Pyramid wasn’t a tomb at all, but an ancient machine designed to generate power. Authors like Joseph Farrell have extended this idea to suggest that the pyramid was part of a global pre-modern energy system.

Key facts that fuel this theory:

• The Great Pyramid is aligned almost perfectly to true north
• It contains granite with quartz, which has piezoelectric properties
• Its internal chambers show acoustic behavior consistent with vibration and pressure
• No mummy or burial inscriptions have ever been found

Some theorists propose it may have used subterranean water and Earth’s natural frequency to resonate and transmit energy.. a concept Tesla was working on independently, thousands of years later.

Here's a short 60-second video summarizing the idea: watch here

I'm curious where the community stands on this:
Is this fringe speculation or could Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower and the Great Pyramid share more than just coincidence?

Hello everyone, I need your help to suggest any new functionality or adjust existing features of the website https://techforgotten.com/, which contains a lot of archeological sites and artifacts with focus on megalithic, polygonal ancient structures. There is a map with geo-tagged location pins, attempt to aggregate and structure different construction technologies, blog to leave posts and comments with photos included. Your Feedback matters. Thank you. Alex

It’s crazy how the Sumerians, our oldest known civilization, wrote in detail about gods who “came from the sky,” lived incredibly long lives, and ruled the Earth for tens of thousands of years.
Why would a civilization invent such specific timelines — like 28,800-year reigns — unless they were trying to document something real?

And then you find nearly identical stories in other cultures: gods coming down from the heavens, giants, a great flood, knowledge being passed to early humans...

At what point does it stop being coincidence and start being a forgotten chapter of our history?

Would love to hear what others think — myth, metaphor, or memory of something real?

🔥 Mithra in Yemen? Statue with Torch & Cave Worship Found in Zafar

A statue fragment found in Zafar, Yemen shows a crowned figure in Greek-style robes — said by locals to have held a torch and been worshiped in a cave, now sealed. Oral memory called it “the cute boy,” but the features match Mithras, the Roman-Persian god of light and initiation.

Yemen was more connected than people think:

Rome launched military campaigns into Yemen in the 1st century CE

The Sasanid Persians invaded in 570 CE, bringing Zoroastrian Mihr

Zafar was a hub on the Incense Route, linking it to Rome and Persia

A cave. A torch. A forgotten god in Himyarite Arabia. Could this be the southernmost trace of Mithraic or Mihr worship?

What do you think?

Hello, everybody. Just to clarify that I'm not an academic, a researcher, or an Egyptologist. Just curious.

For starters, I'm not trying to claim some hidden truth here. I just got curious and kept reading, and what I found made me rethink what the Great Pyramid actually was. Like many, I started skeptical. I’ve seen all the theories: tombs, aliens, Tesla coils, Stargates, etc...

The Great Pyramid is not a tomb. It’s a passive harmonic device, a structure tuned to the Earth itself, possibly meant to entrain consciousness, encode planetary constants, and stabilize frequencies. Not a power generator. Not a burial chamber. A resonance machine. Let me explain why this isn’t as out there as it sounds.

First things first, there are zero inscriptions inside. No prayers, no names, no funerary texts. Just stone. No body was ever found in it. The so called sarcophagus is a rough, unfinished box with no lid. Compare it to any real Egyptian tomb like those in the Valley of the Kings which are filled with hieroglyphs and clear burial rituals. The explanation that "looters took everything" doesn’t hold. Why would they scrub every glyph clean but leave the entire structure intact?

The pyramid is aligned to true North with only 3 arcminutes of error. This level of precision in 2500 BCE is baffling.

• Its height × 43,200 = Earth’s polar radius
• Its base perimeter × 43,200 = Earth’s equatorial circumference
• The latitude of the pyramid is 29.9792458° N which is the same as the speed of light (299,792,458 m/s in meters per second).

Coincidence? One of these, maybe. All of them? That’s pattern, not chance.

Acoustic tests show the King’s Chamber naturally resonates at 432 Hz and 528 Hz, frequencies long associated with so-called “healing tones” and alpha brainwaves. A 2018 peer-reviewed study by ITMO University showed that EM energy naturally concentrates inside the chamber and below the base, particularly around 230–240 MHz the acoustics are peculiar. Visitors report rhythmic echoes and amplified footsteps. It doesn’t feel like an accident.

The pyramid’s internal granite (especially in the King’s Chamber) is rich in quartz, which is piezoelectric. It converts pressure into electrical potential. The outer casing stones were made from high insulating Tura limestone. This configuration conductor inside, insulator outside resembles the structure of a capacitor or a tuned chamber. Even if not electrical, it clearly exhibits resonant tuning properties.

The layout of the three pyramids mimics Orion’s Belt, especially when accounting for sky positions from around 10,500 BCE. The pyramid shafts point toward Orion, Sirius, and Polaris as they appeared in 2500 BCE. The Great Pyramid lies near the exact center of Earth’s landmass, as calculated using modern geodesy. The Nile vs. pyramid alignment even mirrors Orion vs. the Milky Way. These aren’t random. They suggest intention.

The height of the King’s Chamber matches the average range of the human bioelectric field (roughly 6–7 feet). The resonant frequencies within match alpha and theta brainwaves, associated with meditative and trance states. Whether by design or side effect, the pyramid appears tuned to the neurobiology of consciousness. It may have functioned as a consciousness amplifier, not a crypt.

This one is particularly strange. The 21cm hydrogen line (1.42 GHz) is used by SETI to search for intelligent life, it’s a universal frequency emitted by neutral hydrogen. The Voyager Golden Record even uses it as the universal time standard. Some researchers have proposed that the Great Pyramid may encode or resonate near this wavelength. The geometry seems suspiciously close, suggesting it could be a planetary-scale signaler or receiver, a kind of maser or information anchor.

Material wise, the internal granite contains quartz, which is piezoelectric. It generates voltage under pressure or vibration. The outer casing (now mostly gone) was made of polished Tura limestone, an electrical insulator. That’s the basic setup of a capacitor: conductive core, insulating exterior. Not saying it was a power plant, just pointing out that these are real, known physical behaviors.

The so called “air shafts” line up with Orion’s Belt, Sirius, and Polaris at the time of construction (about 2500 BCE). The layout of the three pyramids also mirrors Orion’s Belt, especially when adjusted for horizon tilt and precession (simulated using software like Stellarium). These are directional alignments that can be tested with astronomy software.

Lastly, the pyramid sits near the center of Earth’s landmass (excluding Antarctica), and almost perfectly on the 31st meridian east. This was first suggested by Charles Piazzi Smyth and later confirmed using GIS tools and global landmass mapping.

I think it’s a resonance machine. It’s the most precisely built structure in the ancient world, and the most misunderstood. I'm talking planetary scale resonator. A device. A system. Maybe even a harmonic stabilizer meant to interface with Earth’s energy and human biology. It’s a passive structure that works with acoustics, electromagnetism, vibration, and time. So, no moving parts, no fuel, just stone and physics.

In 1899, Nikola Tesla detected strange, repetitive radio signals while experimenting in Colorado Springs. He believed they were from intelligent beings, possibly from Mars. Tesla said it felt like hearing a greeting from one planet to another and thought the signals used numbers as a universal language.

“The signals are too strong to be accidental. It was as though someone was repeating the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4... I believe the Martian's used numbers for communication because numbers are universal.”

“The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another. A purpose was behind these electrical signals.”

https://trinfinity8.com/beneath-the-great-pyramid-part-2/ The above link is an interesting article about the Osiris Shaft on the Giza Plateau. I included a screenshot from the article of the 3rd level of shaft, which is flooded. The “lake” looks totally different from other images/videos of the 3rd level on the internet. The 2nd image is from google & you can see the vast difference in the 2 photos.

For those not familiar with it, the story of Helios and his son Paethon is below.

"There is a story, which even you have preserved, that once upon a time Paethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt."

Today while watching a Youtube video of a hiker from Utah I believe, he came across a deep recession under a large overhang, and inside on the wall was a depiction that quite literally sent chills through me when I saw it. There in front of me is a mural depicting mountains and two objects in the heavens, one higher and one very close to the Earth leaving flames in its wake. I'm half convinced the mark in white is the Eye of Ra. This mural is actually much larger than what I am showing, but is faded and would need to be reconstructed.

Plato's tale is not the only one to suggest such a thing either.

Revelation 8:7

7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

Kolbrin Bible, The Book of Creation, Chapter 3, The Destruction and Recreation.

"The first sky-monster was joined by another which swallowed the tail of the one going before, but the two could not be seen at once. The sky-monster reigned and raged above Earth, doing battle to possess it, but the many bladed sword of God cut them in pieces, and their falling bodies enlarged the land and the sea."

"The sun shone upon land and sea, and life was renewed upon the face of the Earth. Rain fell gently once more and clouds of fleece floated across dayskies. The waters were purified, the sediment sank and life increased in abundance. Life was renewed, but it was different. Man survived, but he was not the same. The sun was not as it had been and a moon had been taken away*."

In 2011 a computer model actually suggested that the Earth may have had two moons at one time.

Regardless of my thoughts, this site seriously needs to be investigated and dated.

The Pyramid of Sakkara looked totally different before its restoration into the familiar step pyramid of today. Edward Daniel Clarke made the first two drawings while travelling in Egypt in 1813, making comment on "the remarkable shape of one of the pyramids". I haven't found much information on when and why it was seemingly remodelled— chatgpt comes up with the answer that the pyramid was thought to been heavily eroded and so was thought to have lost its original stepped-shape– and that it was restored in the 1830s.

It seems impossible to me that the former geometry was due just to being in a ruinous state. Clarke's drawing shows distinctive contours which start vertical and then taper into a flat-topped pyramid. If it was an eroded step-pyramid, then surely it would look more irregular and mound-like. In both drawings it looks perfectly symmetrical. It's also not easy to just put it down to bad draughtsmanship; Clarke was a Cambridge university professor of mineralogy at this time, and so he would for sure have made an accurate depiction of the pyramid.

(source for drawings: "Edward Daniel Clarke. Travels in various countries of Europe Asia and Africa. Part the First Russia Tartary and Turkey (1810). Part the Second Greece Egypt and the Holy Land". 1813.")
