The True Origin of Yahweh: From Anunnaki to the God of the Bible Go here to grab your FREE eBook on using ancient knowledge to manifest your greatest desires. In the vast collection of gods and supernatural beings in human beliefs, the name 'Yahweh', the god of the Bible, stands out and has been remembered for many centuries. Why is this name so influential and deep? Could Yahweh have ties to the Anunnaki that we don't know about? Today, we're stepping into the maze of the past, trying to understand the mystery surrounding one of the most powerful figures in the history of human religion - Yahweh. But who is he really? Is he an all-powerful god that is worshipped by religions that come from Abraham? And if not, who or what could Yahweh really be? The holy books of Abraham's followers tell us about a god who seems to run a grand show in the cosmos. This god creates the universe, stars, animals, plants, people, and everything we know. This all-powerful Maker often goes by the name Yahweh in these texts. This name isn't just a tag, it's like a door that lets us see how people's ideas of god have changed over time. It represents our never-ending quest to understand the universe and our place in it. The name Yahweh has had a big effect on our shared history, shaping societies, influencing customs, and guiding the story of humanity. Looking closely at Yahweh is more than just studying. It's like going on a trip into the heart of our culture, trying to understand our shared past. But what does this mean for our understanding of divinity? What mysteries might we uncover about our origins? This trip takes us back to where civilization first started, in the ancient Near East. Could this be where the name Yahweh first emerged? Here, we start to dig into a fascinating and complex story. Interestingly, this trip to the Near East brings us face-to-face with the Anunnaki, who were gods in ancient Mesopotamian myths. And as you might know, not only. These gods played a big role in stories about the world's creation and were worshipped by the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians. But could there be a link between these ancient gods and Yahweh? Is it possible that Yahweh grew out of, or even came from, these Anunnaki? Finding these answers lets us uncover a hidden layer of ancient stories, changing how we understand the beginning of humans. There's an even older story hidden in the Genesis text that has been kept out of public view for hundreds of years because of translation mistakes and the rules of the Church. But what is this ancient tale trying to tell us? By the end of this journey, we hope to answer the big question: Who is Yahweh, the god in the Bible? And what implications does this have for our understanding of religion and spirituality? Our oldest reference to Yahweh is found on the Moabite Stone, or the Mesha Stele, erected by King Mesha of Moab around 840 BCE, celebrating his victory over Israel. The stele recounts a story similar to that found in 2 Kings 3, albeit with one crucial difference: the stele proclaims a Moab victory, while the Bible claims victory for Israel. Interestingly, the reference to Yahweh reinforced the belief that he was exclusively an Israelite deity, as Mesha brags about seizing objects associated with Yahweh and presenting them to his own god, Kemosh. Fast forward to 1844 when archaeologist Karl Richard Lepsius excavated the ruins of the ancient city of Soleb in Nubia. Extensive excavations wouldn't take place until 1957, led by archaeologist Michela Schiff Giorgini. They found a reference to a group known as the “Shasu of Yahweh“ inscribed at the base of one of the temple's columns. This reference to Yahweh, connected to the Shasu, suggested that this god had been worshipped by another group long before the biblical narratives are thought to have occurred. The Egyptians described the Shasu as Semitic nomads, often viewed as outlaws. While attempts were made to connect them with the Hebrews, these claims were rebutted. The reference to the Shasu of Yahweh not only pushes the origins of this deity further back than previously thought but also insinuates that Yahweh might not have been Canaanite in origin. But if not, then what’s the origin of the first Yahweh? SUBSCRIBE for more documentaries: #yahweh #anunnaki #secretorigins
