The
oldest stories we know stem from ancient Sumer, the place where after the
great flood, civilization began; later this land was called Mesopotamia;
“between the rivers”.
Following scriptures, Abraham (Abram) was born in the north of Mesopotamia (1906 BC), probably in or near Ur or Nahor, a few miles away from Ur.
where his father Terah
was born. Abraham had two brothers; Haran and
Nahor who also were born in that neighborhood and had cities named after them.
The sages tell that when our forefather Abraham was born a star appeared,
which swallowed up four other stars from the four sides of the heavens.
When the astrologers of Nimrod saw this they forthwith went to Nimrod and
said, “Nimrod, of a certainty there is born to-day a lad who is destined
to inherit both this world and the world to come. Now, if it is thy wish, let
us give his father and mother a large sum of money, and then kill him.
Whatever his father and mother wish shall be given to them.” “What kind
of child is he whom you seek to kill?” asked Nimrod. “A boy," said they, “was
born to-day, and a star appeared which swallowed up four stars of the heavens,
and he is destined to inherit this world and the world to come.”
Another
story relates that Abraham was born a few years later, under the reign of
Ninus, son of
Bel,
son of Nimrod.
Abraham
was born in a family of "idol worshippers".
The
family must have moved down to Babel in the cultural center of
Mesopotamia, to live in Kuta, Kutha or Cuthah, represented by the mound of
Tell-Ibrahim (Hill of Abraham) 15 miles northeast of Babylon. It
probably was there that Abraham had his first vision of God, who told him to
move to the
Promised Land.
This had
quite an impact on Abraham. He started preaching the One God and was known to
smash and burn idol statues wherever he found them.

Noah was saved by Yahwèh from the Flood, and was the same as the Sumerian Uta-Noa Pishtim who was saved from the Flood by Enki. Then the LORD (Yahwèh) said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation. Ge 7:1 It stands to reason that this Yahwèh and Enki are the same and that it is this Yahwèh that led Abraham out of Mesopotamia. Enki, the firstborn son by right of Holy An, the Holy Spirit became the Patron angel of Israel and was called Michael; who is like God. |
Years
later, after his return, Abraham burned the idols Terah had made. Terah took
him to Babel near Ur, to see Nimrod, who threw him in a burning furnace out of
which God himself
saved him.
It is here that Abraham was saved from the fire (Ur in Hebrew) of the Chaldees.
This
must have convinced Terah of the righteousness of Abram.
Abram
became rich in knowledge and material goods, and due to his
journeys, his teachings spread
through out the known world.
Abraham was rich in cattle, silver, gold and in
all the wisdom of “hermetica” and astrology, which he had acquired in
Egypt from Pharaoh’s magicians, so that there was none
so wise as he. From Egypt these sciences spread over Greece. And Abraham was
able to foretell the future by the observance of the stars, and was very wise
in astrology. He taught his magic science to Zoroastres,
Abraham’s teachings were of great influence to the Jews and the Christians,
but also
to the Islam
The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah--the which We have sent by inspiration to thee--and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Koran; Sura 42:13
As well
as the Hindi.
From Abram were descended the
Brahmin
that, like all Jewish tribes took on the name of their Patriarch. These
Brahmin became the elite class of priests spreading this new religion
throughout India.
And Abraham took another wife named Keturah. She became the mother of Zimran
and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah…Now Abraham gave all his
property to Isaac; But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and
sent them away, while he was still living,
Bactria, a
region of ancient Afghanistan, has come to be called Balkh; A northern province
of Turkistan in modern Afghanistan, which boarders to the north, the river Oxus
and the former USSR. It is said to have been the locality of a prototypical
Jewish nation called Juhuda or Jaguda.
Zoroaster
(Zoroastres, Zeradust, or Zarathustra.) was born in Bactria so it is very
probable that he was influenced by the teachings of Abraham.
The tribes
expanded and they took their teachings
The
Brahmin became the elite cast of priests in India. This fact, however, combined with hear say,
led to the believe of some people, that Abraham must have come from India.
This was
said by Voltaire, who probably had it from Flavius Josephus, who wrote that the
Greek philosopher Aristotle, who in his turn had probably heard it from Megasthenes,
who was sent to India by Seleucus Nicator, about three hundred years before
Christ, had said that the Jews were an Indian tribe or sect called Calani.
But the name Calani was derived from Chal-dea, the land of their origin, the land where Abraham was born.
These (tribes) were the Aryans that "invaded" India and brought the Vedas to this country in which Brahma; Ab Rama, the exalted Father was first mentioned.
They
didn’t just bring religion, they also brought script…
