A SACRED TREE AND SERPENT. From an ancient Babylonian cylinder . excavation have not as yet found a report of the fall of man and of the serpent that seduced Adam and Eve to taste the fruit of the tree of life (fruit of knowledge). There is, however, a great probability that some similar legend existed, as we are in possession of pictures which represent two persons seated under a tree and a serpent near by. The tree of life is an idea which must have been very popular among the Assyrians and Babylonians
Noah and the ark: The Babylonian story ( the Epic of gilgamish)tells us when the gods decide to destroy the earth, and eliminate humans with a great flood. , the people were too numerous and noisy. The gods said, “The roar of mankind is intolerable and sleep is no longer possible” So the gods agreed to exterminate mankind. With a great flood, which was to become “the end of all flesh”? Except for a man by the name of Utnapishtem, a righteous man, and the favorite of one of the gods, Ea, he was saved. The God Ea talked to him through the wall of his hut And ordered him to build a multi-story wooden ark. to build the boat to specification in cubit. The ark would be sealed with pitch, and have many internal compartments. It would have a single door, and at least one window. The ark was built and loaded with, Utnapishtem a few other family members , samples from all species of other land animals. initially complained about his assignment, A great rain came pouring down, covering the land with water. Then Utnapishtem sent out birds at regular intervals to find if any dry land had appeared ; The first two birds returned to the ark. The third bird apparently found dry land because it did not return. The Utnapishtem families left the ark, ritually killed an animal, and offered it as a sacrifice. the Gods smelled the roasted meat of the sacrifice. Subsequently He was blessedb The Babylonian gods seemed genuinely sorry for the genocide that they had created. The God of Noah appears to have regretted his actions as well, because he promised never to do it again and they gave us the rainbow to remember his promise.
Mayans mythology The mythology in the Mayans culture for creation was found on a Stella below, in quirigua, Ruins of dominant Mayan City in south territory of Guatemala, in the quietness of history in a piece of land among the trees, some thirty foot sandstone monolith stands from the earth of the Motagua basin. the monolith surface stayed just as it was the day it was carved because of The hardness of the stone and the forgiving climate , some 1,200 years ago, That tells the epic of creation ;
“In the beginning there was not yet one person, not one animal, birds, fish, crab, Tree, rock, mountain, Meadow, forest. Only the sky alone is there; the face of the earth is not clear. Only the sea alone is pooled under all the skies; it at rest;……..whatever might be, is simply not there.: only murmurs, ripples, in the dark in the night only the maker, modeler alone, sovereign plumes serpent, the bearer, begetter are in the water, a glittering light.
