Rule by Secrecy by Jim Marrs

Notes

• One Masonic tradition claimed that Abraham, the patriarch of the Hebrews, taught the Egyptians special knowledge predating the Great Flood
• This knowledge was reported to be the work of Hermes Trismegisths, collected by Euclid (Greek Philosopher) and later called geometry and architecture 
• Illuminate came from the Grand Lodge of Cairo where ancient knowledge and wisdom was passed down from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and corrupted into an exchange for Magician tricks by Abdullah, and Ismali (descendant of Ishmael, who was descended from Abraham and Hagar) 
• Moses passed down knowledge of the Cabala to Ancient Egypt 
• Books of Light contained wisdom given to Adam by God in the Garden of Eden and passed to Noah and then to Abraham
• Ancient Egypt had the god Thoth - "As above, so below" the Cabala was the pathway of actualization of divinity within 
• Abraham left Sumer (Sumeria) with the secrets of Enoch (the secrets of the holy grail, the secrets of translation, initiation, immortality)
• Abram's name was changed to Abraham - a native of Sumer (the biblical Ur). He had a tablet of symbols representing the knowledge passed down from Noah
• Called "The Table of Destiny" 
• Gave King Solomon his vast wisdom
• Also called the Tables of Testimony referenced in Exodus 31:18, Exodus 24:12 and 25:16. These tables are not the ten commandments 
• Author was Ham (the son of Noah), made of emerald; alchemical records. His Greek name is "Hermes" and contained the wisdom of pyramid creation
• The Cabala passed from Mesopotamia through Palestine into Medieval Europe
• Knights Templar brought the Cabala mysteries back to Europe from the Holy Land during the Crusades
• 10 commandments are similar to the Book of the Dead which again links Israel and Egypt; the Book of the Dead was from (Babylon and Sumer) 
• Conventional science cannot explain the Native Americans, because they are not Asian
• Moses had an experience in the Mountain, Sumerian records indicate the name of this God was "The Great Mountain Lord Enlil"
• Abraham came from Ur of the Chaldeas near the northern end of the Persian Gulf, a principle Sumerian City
• Northern Mesopotamia cities were named after the relatives of Abraham - Haran, Terah, Nahor, Serug, Peleg - dynasty passed traditions of Sumerians to Abraham and Moses
• Sumer was 4,000 BC encompassing modern day Iraq and the Tigris/Euphrates river
• 2,400 B.S. Sumer was invaded by Sargon the Great which became the Semite Allkadian dynasty which united with Hammurabi of Babylon 
• Code of Laws were instituted in Babylon for controlling the masses of people 
• 1843 artifacts of Sumeria were found in Iraq - allowing the learning of the Sumerian language 
• The language comes from an original language of logograms
• Cuneiform writing was done on wet clay tablets that were dried and baked and put in libraries
• Sumeria had the first proverbs and the first coined weighted money 
• Knew a Platonian/Celestial year (to pass through all the sings of the zodiac) takes 25,920 years. 
• Sumeria possibly developed the zodiac
• Claimed that knowledge was given by beings who could appear and disappear on earth at will
• Sumerians did not call these beings gods but were the Anunnaki aka "Those who came to earth from heaven"
• Zecharia Sitchen equated biblical Nefilim with the Sumerian Anunnaki: Those that come from the stars and form civilizations on earth
• Sumerian writings say Nibiru is the 12 planet in the solar system (including the Sun and moon) and this planet is where the Anunnaki come from
• They knew of Neptune and Pluto without telescopes
• Texts say that four billion years ago a rogue planet Nibiru entered our solar system, narrowly missed planet Tiamet which cracked due to gravitational stresses. It came around again on another cycle and crossed between Mars and Jupiter. The planet Tiamet was destroyed and the earth shot off toward the sun. Earth is missing half of it's crust which adds value to this theory. The Babylonian name for Nibiru is Marduk. The Egyptian writings show Nibiru has a winged disc. 
• Anu was the supreme Nibirian ruler who had two suns Enlil and Enki. Anu brought other Anunnaki with him, or Nefilim; and one of these was named "Nazi". 
• Enlil was a mission commander who was in charge of biblical Eden, a plain between the Tigris and Euphrates
• Enki was the son of Anu and another who was not his official wife; so was second in hierarchy; though he lead the first expedition of Earth. He became the ruler of Africa. 
• Enki and Ninharsay made viable offspring by taking an egg from an African female hominoid and fertilized it; and put it in his wife Ninki. The people on earth were very un-evolved. They were naked and ate plants, and drank water out of a ditch. They knew notihng of clothing, cooking, etc.
  
• The Anunnaki/Nefilim made hybrids that could not reproduce and lived short lives. The idea, coming from the bible, is they must be ignorant or they will become as gods. 
• There are different theories but some of these hybrids became able to reproduce sexually. When they had children, the Nefilim lusted after the daughters of man
• The word "rib" is a mistranslation. In the Sumerian language it means "Life" so Eve came from the Life of Adam.
• The Sumerian language for the place where they were making hybrids was called "The House Where the Wind of Life is Breathed In" Which is similar to the bible "God breathed into the nostrils of Adam the breath of Life"
