“YHVH the Secret name of God”
By Kenneth Martin
1:1 “The Proto and Paleo Origins of God “YHVH ELoHYiM”
The name of God and Deity Motifs are very old, originating in the Prehistory Era (before -3400 BC).
.1 By what name did Abram call God?
Genesis 11:31; And Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter in Law, the wife of Abram his son and went forth with them “from Ur of the Chaldeans*” to go to the land of Canaan, and they came as far as Haran and settled there.
Genesis 11:31, places Abram in the Third Dynasty of “Ur of the Chaldeans”.
When “Ur” was the capital of Sumer.
Abram was a Sumerian.
Hence, Abam's God originated from the “Kingdom of Sumer.”
1:2 The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning of Moses’ God as; “YHVH ALHYM”;
“YHVH” is Moses’ God’s “Specific title/ name”, further describing ALHYM (Elohim).
“YHVH” distinguishes God from all the other Elohim.
Genesis 2:4, is the first time “YHVH” is used in the Torah. Henceforth, Moses called God; “YHVH ALHYM”, specific as “The God of Abraham”, always singular.
1:3 The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning for Lord, Hebrew; “YHVH”.
In ancient Hebrew “Every name tells a story”;
Reading right to left;
“Y” Yod, symbolizes; Sky
“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man”. (pointing to the sky)
“V” Vah, symbolizes; “Earth”
“H” Heh, symbolizes; “Man”. (pointing to the sky)
YHVH symbolizes; “Sky, Man, Earth, Man”
“YHVH” Paraphrased as; “Sky Man (to) Earth Man”
YaH (Sky Man) is a Sky Deity.
Sky Deities are the personification of the sky, “Spirit of the Sky”
manifested by storms, wind, lightning and thunder.
Research; Wikipedia, “Phonecian Alphabet - Tables of Letters”.
STOP! Do not proceed! The; “Wikipedia; Phonecian Alphabet - Tables of Letters” is a prerequisite to understanding the “Hebrew Codec”.
* You may have to zoom down your page size to see the entire “Table of Letters” chart. Hebrew is the furthest right column.
.1 “Sky or Heaven” in Hebrew is “Shamayim”.
Sha Ma Yi M;
Sha = Of
Ma = Water
Y = Sky
Mem = plural of the Y (Yod); “Skies”
Sha Ma Yim symbolizes; Of, Water, Sky, Plural
Shamayim is paraphrased as; “Skies Of Water” or Clouds (Firmament).
The theme of the Tanakh and New Testaments is “gods are descending from the clouds and men are ascending to the clouds.
Compare the “Y” yod in “YHVH” to the “Y” yod in “Shamayim”;
The “Y” yod in YHVH, and the “Y” yod in ShaMaYim both mean Sky (heaven).
God’s specific title and name “YHVH Elohim”;
“Y”HVH; “Sky Man to Earth Man” (Sky/ Sun Deity)
ShaMa-”Yim”; Skies of water
.2 Even in the Alphabetics Era (beginning -2000 BC), we can break down almost every Hebrew word and name into its; root word, prefixes and suffixes as;
Moses in Hebrew is “MaShe” or Moshe;
MaShe;
Ma = Water
She = Of
MoShe symbolized; Water, Of
MoShe paraphrased as; “Of the Water”.
Comparing the “S” shin in Shamayim to the “S” shin in Moshe;
Sha Ma Yim symbolizes; Of, Water, Sky, Plural (Skies Of Water)
Mo She symbolized; Water, Of (Of the Water) or “From the Water”.
1:4 The Elohim;
The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning of Moses’ God, Hebrew; Elohim “ALHYM” (Elohim/ ELoHYiM) , and in Arabic “Allah”.
Reading right to left;
A, Alef, symbolizes; Ox (Bull of Sky).
L, Lamid, symbolizes; Staff; “Leads”
H, Heh, symbolizes; Man (pointing to the sky).
Y, Yod, symbolizes; “Sky** (sun/ star)”.
M, Mem, as suffix symbolizes “multitudes”, plural of the Yod, as; stars/ constellations.
“ALH-YM” (ELoHYiM) symbolizes; “Ox* – Staff – Man – Sky – Multitudes.”
“AaLoH-YiM” (ELoHYiM) paraphrased as; “Ruler, Leads, Man, (to) Stars (Astrological Constellations).
The original Elohim were "Ruling Priestly Astrologers".
.1 The first time the Elohim appears anywhere in the Middle East is on the “Sumerian Kings List” and the “Sumerian Tablets”;
SKL 1:1 “After the kingship descended from the sky, the kingship was in Eridu. In Eridu, “Alulim (Elolim) became king.”
Alulim paraphrases as; ”Ruler of Leaders”
The Alu of Alulim meaning “Ruler”, implies he was the “Ruling Priestly Astrologer”.
Sumerian ALu = Hebrew Alu (Elo)
Sumarian ALulim sons = Hebrew Alohim (Elohim)
The Sumerian Motif of "Alulim and his sons the Anuna (Enlil and Enkil) descending from the sky" is the same as Genesis 1 - 6 where the "Elohim descend from the sky".
As the Sumerian sons of Alulim, the Hebrew Elohim were also “Ruling Priestly Astrologers”.
Moreover, as the Sumerians, the Hebrews also had Priestly Rulers, until
King Saul and King David.
The “Alu of Alulim”, and the “Alu (Elo) of Alohim (Elohim)”, are symbolic of Alulim (First king of Sumar) and his descendants, the Kaldu* (Kasdim/ Chaldean) family clan of astrologers”, who predicted the planting and harvesting seasons, and associated feasts, and the first of the New Year. .
* “Kaldu” (Chaldean) means "earth tillers, farmers".
Sumerian Alulim sons = Hebrew Alohim (Elohim) (Rulers who lead men to the sky).
Same motif, similar names.
Research; The original creation stories; Sumerian “Eridu Genesis”, and Akkadian “Emuna Elis”
Do a comparative study of the names in the Sumerian Tablets, Akkadian Tablets and Moses’ Genesis.
The original Mesopotamian meaning for “Allah” (AaLaH) is: “Ruler of man”.
Research; “Chaldean Astrology”, “Sumerian Astrology”, Akkadian Astrology” and “Greek Astrology”.
Research; “Sumerian Pictographs”, and “Sumerian Cuneiform.”
.2 Summary of God’s specific title and name “YHVH ALHYM”;
“Y”HVH; “Sky Man (to) Earth Man
ShaMa-”Yim”: Skies of Water
ALH”YiM”; (AaLaH-YiM/ Elohim) Ruler Leads, Man, (to) Skies (Sumerian Astrology Priests).
Hence, the theme of the Tanakh is; “YHVH (Sky Man to Earth Man) descended from the sky, and ALHYM (Ruler Leads, Man, to Skies) leads man back to the sky.”
Or simply; YHVH descended from the sky, and Elohim* led men back to the sky.
Yah was the “Sky Deity”.
And the Elohim were “Ruling Priestly Astrologers”
In your Tanakh or Bible, cross out everywhere you see “heaven” and replace it with “sky”.
In doing so, Judaism and Christianity were founded on Astrology.
1:5 The original Neolithic Pictographic meaning of Moses’ God as; “AHYH”;
AHYH is the specific title and name of God as; “Most High”. “AHYH” is first used in Exodus 3:14.
A Alef, symbolizes; Ox*, (Bull of Sky, or Heaven)
H Heh, symbolizes; Man
Y Yod, symbolizes; Sky
H Heh, symbolizes; Man
AHYH symbolizes; Ox, Man, (to) Sky, Man.
AHYH paraphrased; “Bull of Heaven (ascends to) the Sky Deity”.
In Mesopotamian Cuneiforms the symbol “Star" (pronounced An or Anu) preceding a name symbolizes Deity (Sky Man).
* Mesopotamian Cuneiforms were the scripts of the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Bablonians, Canaanites, Eblate, Elamite, Hittite, Hurrian, Luwian, Urartian, Palaic, Aramaic, and Old Perians.
Paleo Cuneiform Anshur* = Hebrew “Ashur”
* AnShur (Sar means King.)
.1 The Neolithic Pictographic meaning of; “AHYH-Asher-AHYH:
Exodus 3:14; Moses said to God, “When I come to the Israelites and say to them; ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you’ and they ask me,
‘What is His name? What shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses,
“AHYH-Asher*-AHYH.” He continued, “Thus shall you say to the Israelites, “AHYH sent me to you.”
* Mesopotamian Cuneiform Anshur = Hebrew Asher
“Anshur (Asher)” was a god of Mesopotamia the; Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Bablonians, Canaanites, Eblate, Elamite, Hittite, Hurrian, Luwian, Urartian, Palaic, Aramaic, and Old Perians.
* Research; “Wikipedia; Assur” in cuneiform, note the star (an) symbolizing deity.
Anshur (Asher);
An* symbolizes “Sky Man”
Sh symbolizes “of”
R symbolizes “First”
Asher symbolizes; Sky Man, Of, First
Asher paraphrases as; “First of Sky Man”.
The Ashurim*/ Ashurot, (Asherah Poles) that are mentioned in the Tanakh were to honor the Anshur (first king who descended from the Sky).
* Ashurim or Ashurot in Hebrew is Not Feminine.
Ansher -> Asher (Assyr, Assyrians).
Or
An symbolized Deity, and Sar means King, hence “Deity King”
Asher Pole was a “Deity King Pole”, showing authority.
In Exodus 3:14, Moses was transliterating Mesopotamia “Anshur” to the new modern title “YHVH” ( Sky Man to Earth Man ).
Moses and the Israelites were assimilating into western culture.
Proto Sky Man -> An -> Yah
the personifications of the sky, manifested by wind, storms, lightning and thunder.
Same meaning, similar languages.
Sumerians, Akkadians and Canaanites called their sky deity “An” (Ansur).
The Indo Europeans called their sky deity Zeus (Dyeus). And the Hebrews called their sky deity “YaH (Deiwos)”.
The meaning of the title “AHYH Asher AHYH” is;
AHYH = Bull of Heaven (ascends to) to the Sky Deity
Asher = God of the Assyrians, Akkadians and Canaanites
AHYH = Bull of Heaven (ascends to) to the Sky Deity
The title “AHYH Asher AHYH” paraphrased as;
“Bull of Heaven* ascends to the Sky Deity, to Asher, then back to Sky Deity.”
* “Anshur (Asher)” was the sky deity of the Assyrians, Akkadians and Canaanites.
In the days of Moses there were two great kingdoms, Egypt and Assyria. The Hebrews feared they would leave Egypt only to be slaughtered by the Assyrians. God wanted to comfort the Hebrews not to fear the Assyrians, that he was also the God of the Assyrians, Akkadians and Canaanites.
.2 Asher* (Assyr), the king and god of the Assyrians;
Assyrian Anshur = Hebrew Asher
An* symbolizes “Deity” (Sky Man)
Sh symbolizes “of”
R Lamid symbolizes “First”
Asher symbolizes; Sky Man, Of, First
Asher paraphrases as; “First of Sky Man” or “First of Ansher”
The “asher poles” that are mentioned in the Tanakh were to honor the
Anshur (first king who descended from the Sky)
* Ansher -> Asher (Assyr, Assyrians).
.3 Asherah (Wife of Asher);
Assyrian Anshurah = Hebrew Asherah
An* symbolizes “Deity” (Sky Man)
Sh symbolizes "of"
Ra symbolizes "First"
H symbolizes "man" (H as a suffix often symbolizes Feminine).
Asher’ah symbolizes as; An, Of, First, Man (Feminine)
Asherah paraphrased as “First Lady of the Anshur clan” or “Queen of Heaven”.
What the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Caananites and Hebrews had in common, they all share the motif of a "Sky Man descending from the sky"
Moreover, the motif of "Sky Man descending from the sky" predated Moses by 2000 years, there was nothing unique about the Hebrew YHVH Deity in -1300 BC.
Comparing Asherah to Sarah;
Sarai symbolizes; Sar = Queen, Ra = first, and the Yod = Sky
Sarah paraphrases as “First Queen of Sky” or “Queen of Heaven”.
Asherah (Ansherah*) also paraphrases “Queen of Heaven”.”
* An = Skyman (Deity)
ASherah* = Hebrew Sarah
* Akkadians, Assyrians, Caananites
Similar languages, same meaning, and the same motif.
.4 Abraham was the most honored forefather of Judaism;
AV Ra Ha M;
AV = father (Abba)
Ra* = first
Ha = man
M = plural of the Ha (man) men
AV Ra Ha M symbolizes; Father, First, Man, Plural
Avraham paraphrases as; “First Father of the nations”
It’s interesting to note “Abram” and “Abraham” are Titles, rather than the typical origin name (town or city), or occupational names (Smith or Baker). It’s possible that when the Torah was written, they had forgotten (lost) his real name, or did not want to give his Sumerian name.
.5 Marayim (Miriam or Mary);
Ma = water
Ra = first
Yi = Sky
Mem Plural of the Yod “Skies”
M R Y M Symbolizes; Water, First , Sky, Plural
Marayim (Mary) paraphrases as; “First Water (to) Skies” or “Spring of water to the sky ”. Perhaps “Morning Fog” that ascends to the sky.
Abraham, Maraym and Israel were Egyptian in origin. That they originated during or after their captivity in Egypt (earliest date; -1300 BC).
.6 Comparative Pictographic Symbolism;
Y H V H symbolizes; “Sky, Man, (to) Earth, Man”
A H Y H symbolizes; Ox, Man, (to) Sky, Man.
“Ha V” ah symbolizes; Man Earth feminine
“A L H-Y M” (ELoHYiM) symbolizes; “Ox,, Staff, Man, Sky, Multitudes.”
Sha Ma Yim symbolizes; “Of, Water, Sky, Plural”
Mo She symbolizes; “Water, Of”
AV Ra Ha M symbolizes; “Father, First, Man, Plural”
From these names we can extrapolate;
Y yod symbolizes Sky
H heh symbolizes man
M symbolizes water
M mem as a suffix symbolizes plural of the letter it follows
“Shamayim” is the key that unlocks the original meaning of many
names of the patriots in the Torah;
.7 The original meaning of the name “Israel”;
I S Ra EL
I yod* = “Sky”
S shin = “of”
Ra rosh = “First”
E (Alef) = “Ox”
L** = “Staff”
Israel is symbolizes; “Sky, Of, First, Ox, Staff”
Israel is paraphrased as; “First Ruler of the Sky” or “El Kings of the Sky”
*Asher paraphrases as; “First of Sky” or “First of Ansher”
Compare Hebrew “Israel” to Assyrian “Ansher” (Asher), they both paraphrases as; “First rule of the Sky”.
An = El
Different languages, same meaning.
.8 Judah;
Yu Da H
Y = Sky
D = Door
H = Man
Yudah symbolized; Sky, Door, Man
Yudah paraphrases as; “Man’s Gateway to the Sky (Priests of Yah)”
.9 LeVi;
Le symbolizes Staff
Vi symbolizes Earth
LeVi symbolized as “Staff, Earth”
LeVi paraphrases as “Earth’s Staff”, perhaps “Guardian of the Earth”.
10. Baal;
Ba = Son
aL = El
* Baal means “Son of El”,
or “Son of Anl (Son of Anlil (Enlil) of Sumerian mythology”, “An” symbolizes Deity).
YHVH Meaning - Definition
1:6 The last king of the Sumerian Kings List was “Noah (Ziusudra)”. Ziusudra was the Sumerian name for Noah.
* Research; "Ziusudra” And “Atra-Hasis” was the Akkadian name for Noah in the Akkadian Tablets.* Research; “Atra-Hasis”
Moses’ accounts of creation and the flood originated from the myths of the “Epic of Ziusudra (Noah)” and the “Epic of Gilgamesh”.
Compare; The Sumerian Tablets and Akkadian Tablets to Moses’ Genesis.
* Research; “Epic of Ziusudra,” “Epic of Gilgamesh (Utnapishtim),” “Epic of Atrahasis,” “Deucalion,” and “Flood Myth Historically.”
The differences in Genesis can be attributed to;
.1 The oral historical gap of 2100 years; from the time of the flood (-3400 BC*), to when Moses wrote the Torah (-1300 BC), of which much of the oral history was forgotten, then adapted to conform to local cultures.
* -3400 BC flood date was calculated from the Sumerian Tablets.
.2 Being influenced from living in Canaan,
.3 Being influenced from being in captivity in Egypt for 430 years,
.4 The scribes translated the “Meanings of the Names” rather than a letter to letter transliteration of the Original Pronunciations.
Most of the names in Genesis were translated to conform to the Egyptian and Phoenician (Canaanite) cultures and poetics.
.5 The scribes Superimposed their kings, local towns and culture into the legends and myths.
.6 These myths originated as Theatrical Entertainment, rather than historical accounts.
The writers and producers would take theatrical performances and substitute the names with the names of local kings, heroes, and locations into the legends and myths.
The plays of the era were dualistic, often comical and tragic.
1:7 Abram’s bible was the Sumerian Tablets;
The formulation and the establishment of a legend is: “an ancestor (or hero), time, and distance”.
Hence, Historians, Archaeologists and Anthropologists, search for the “oldest artifacts and documents” which are usually the most accurate. That, from the oldest artifact on, there is a progression of ancestors (or heroes) who became legends and myths.
The Sumerian Tablets and Akkadian Tablets, was Abram's “Original Bible.”
* Bibles are “written accounts of history, religion, and laws”.
.1 Thinking outside of the Bible Box.
Most scholars are in the Bible Box, that timelines must be less than 5,700 years from the Biblical Creation narrative.
Most Middle Eastern Archaeologists use Hieroglyphic and the beginning of their civilizations 12,000 BC, as the beginning of their timeline.
I use the Scientific Dating of the Writing Systems, rather than the Biblical Box narrative, thus are much earlier dates. Moreover, I used the earliest dates of the writing systems which ties the fables* to their Motif and Oral Poetics.
* Fables are stories that convey a moral story with animals as characters which talk. As talking snakes and donkeys etc…
.2 History of Bibles;
* Dating was established from the Writing Systems, Poetics and Archeological Artifacts.
-3400 BC “Historical Era begins.”
-3400 BC Egyptian Hieroglyphs (First bibles)
-3300 BC Sumerian Tablets (second bible); “Eridu Genesis (original book of Genesis)” and the “Epic of Gilgamesh” predate Moses by 2000 years.
-3200 BC Akkadian Tablets, Enuma Elish (Third Bible)
-3100 BC, Canaanite Ebla Tablets (Forth Bible), note these tablets (bibles) predate Abraham by 1300 years.
-2000 BC Canaanite Mari Tablets*.
-2000 BC Canaanite Alalakh Tablets*.
-2000 BC Canaanite Amarna Tablets*.
* (combined to form a Fifth bible)
-1950 BC Abraham born
-1940 BC Elamites (Elam/ Elom) invade Sumeria. Destruction of Ur, Gen 11:31 Abram flees to Canannan
-1850 BC Simmion’s Ark Tablet (Sixth Bible)
-1800 BC Atra Hasis Account of Genesis (Seventh Bible)
-1350 Moses leads Israel out of Egypt
-1300 BC Ugaritic Texts were written, “One thousand five hundred (1500) Ugaritic Texts, plus the Epic Poems” (Eight Bible) in Cuneiform. Contemporary parallel of the Torah.
-1300 Abecedaries (Abecedarius/ Abecedarium) Scripts dated. The Torah used an Abecedaries Script, hence the Torah was written (or translated) after -1300 BC.
-1300 BC, Moses begins to write the Torah. Begins the “Jewish Historical Age”. (Ninth Bible).
Moses’ accounts were 2000 years after the Sumerian Tablets. Hence,
Moses’ Genesis originated from the Sumerian myths and legends of God, creation and the flood, and would have been influenced by the seven previous bibles.
As with legends and myths, Moses’ Sky Deity exceeded all previous sky deities becoming the celestial “Pre-existent Creator God” who speaks the universe into existence in “six earth days”.
.3 The original Sumerian script had over 2800 characters.
Each pictograph represented an ox, deer, man, house etc...
Around 2000 BC, the Egyptian, Phonecian, Canaanite and Sumeian scripts were abbreviated to 28 characters to modern Proto and Paleo -Alphabet scripts, of which vocalized words.
My research focuses on “Proto and Paleo Pictographics,” pre alphabetics.
1:7 The “Sumerian Anuna” were the Hebrew “Elohim* gods of creation” in Genesis 1-6;
Anuna = Elohim
“Anunnaki” were the “Elohim” in the Akkadian Tablets
Gen 1:26, “Let us make man in our image.”
According to the Sumerian and Akkadian Tablets; The Anuna (Elohim) of Genesis were; “Anu*, Anlil (Enlil), Anki (Enki), Ninhursag, Nanna, Utu, and Inanna” (The Seven gods who Decree)
* An and Anu are the personifications of the sky. “An” as a prefix of a name shows Deity (Sky Man).
“An” lil (Sky deity, of rulers),
“An”ki (Sky deity to earth).
As Adam in the Tanakh, Alulim, Ankil, Anlil, “descended from the Sky”.
Research; “Anu” and “List of Mesopotamium Deities.”
Do a comparative study of the names in the Sumerian Tablets, Akkadian Tablets and Moses’ Genesis.
The scribes Superimposed their kings, local towns and culture into the fables and myths.
Mesopotamian Sky Man -> Sumerian Anlulim -> Anlil (Enlil) and Anki (Enki) -> Anshur (Asher)
* Israelis were assimilating into western culture.
Same motifs of “descending from the sky”, and similar pronunciations.
.1 Origin of the Sinai Scripts;
The name of God is very old, originating in the Prehistory (pre -3400 BC) and Pre Alphabetics eras (pre -2000 BC).
God’s name is found in Proto Pictographs, Paleo Pictographs and Pictograms.
The Hebrew Script and the modern pronunciation of God’s name used today is Post Alphabetics (post -2000 BC).
Moses began to write the Torah in -1300 BC within the Indo European area. Hence, there are many linguistic similarities to Egyptian and other Indo European Alphabetic words and meanings.
* Research web images; “YHVH” and “YHVH Elohim”.
Egyptian Hieroglyphics -> Proto Egyptian Alphabetic -> Paleo Phoenician -> Paleo Hebrew.
From the days of Abram to Moses, Phoenicia (most of the Mediterranean coast, including Canaan) was under the control of the Egyptians.
The Hebrew language was a dialect of the Proto Egyptian Alphabetic groups.
Proto Egyptian Alphabetic = Paleo Hebrew
Moses wrote the Torah in the Proto Egyptian Alphabetics.
* Research; Phoenicain Alphabet; “Table of Letters.” Compare Egyptian Hieroglyphs, to Paleo Phoenecian and Paleo Hebrew.
* Compare the Sumerian and Akkadian typography to the Canaanite Tablets typography.
The Canaanites were descendants of the Akkadians and Sumerians, hence the similarity of the name of God as El, Elyon, etc…
The Sumerians, Phonecians, and Canaanites use the Oxen pictograph “A” alef, symbolizing the Sumerian “Bull of Heaven” as their first letter of their alphabets. Hence the similarity of the name of God as AL (El), Alyon (Elyon), etc…
The Sumerian Al (El) symbolizes “Oxen Staff”, which is paraphrased as “ruler”, of which traces back to Alulim (Elolim), first king of the Sumerian Kings List.
* Research; Phonecian Alphabet, Table of Letters.
The Hebrew Levite Priests symbol is the Oxen.
.2 The origin of the “Hebrew Script”;
Genesis 11:31, Abram was a Sumerian.
Hence, Abram’s native language was the Sumerian language.
Abram’s journey began in Sumaria, traveled to Phoenicia (Canaan), went into captivity in Egypt, then went back to Phoenicia (Canaan).
Sumer -> Phoenicia (Canaan) -> Egypt -> Phoenicia (Canaan).
There is no archaeological evidence of the Hebrew Script or language in Sumeria prior to -600 BC when Israel was carried off to Babylonia.
Therefore, the Hebrew language and script originated from the Proto Egyptian Alphabetic and Paleo Phoenecian Alphabetics.
By -2000 BC, the Egyptian scribes simplified Hieroglyphs to a “Alphabetic Phonetic Language.”
Thus, -2000 BC would have been the earliest date for Biblical Hebrew script and language.
.3 In -1300 BC, Moses wrote the Torah in the “Proto Egyptian Alphabetics”.
Proto Egyptian Alphabetics -> Paleo Phoenician -> Paleo Hebrew Script
By proto pictographic standards what is called “Paleo Hebrew (-1300 BC)” was actually a Modern Alphabetic Script.
The first letter of Sumerian PIctographs is the “ * sky (An)”, and the first letter of Paleo Hebrew is the “Alef oxen” (sky vs oxen), meaning Paleo Hebrew “Elohim” originated from the Paleo Phoenician, rather than from Sumerian Cuneiform.
* Research; “Comparative Study of the Origins of Writing Systems.”
* Study; “Evolution of writings”.
.4 By proto pictographic standards what is called “Paleo Hebrew” (-1300 BC) was actually Modern Alphabetic Script
with modern Motifs, Poetics, and the best Symbolic Form, Esthesic and Poisis of the era.
Moreover, Genesis 1-6 is the most inclusive organized collection of Indo European Myths of the -1300s BC when Moses began to write the Torah.
.5 As Eastern Asian Scripts, the “Original Sumerian Script” had over 2800 characters.
There are theories the Sumerians were from the Far East (Korea) and settled in southern Sumeria. Korean pictographs had a lot of similarity to the Sumerian pictographs.
But later was influenced by the West and became an “Alphabetic Phonetic Language,” reducing the Sumerian script to 28 characters.
Compare the Original 2800 Sumerian Characters to the Ancient Eastern Scripts of Korea etc.
The origin of the Sumerian and Akkadian scripts were Eastern (Asian), and the origin of “Paleo Hebrew Script” was Western, similar to the Egyptian and Phonecian scripts.
1:8 Historical Gaps;
1. Historical Gap 1 (Oral Era);
Was from the Stone Age, until the Historical Age (-3400 BC).
.2 Historical Gap 2:
From the time Abram left Sumeria, God’s name and Jewish history was orally kept for 500 years, thru 15 generations while slavery in Egypt.
.3 Historical Gap 3
From the time of the fall of The Second Temple in Jerusalem and the deaths of all Jewish Priests (70 AD), until the beginning of the writing of the Talmud, there was a 200 year gap, of which God was forgotten, and the Hebrew language was lost.
1:9 Archaeological Chronological Review;
