"The Phrygians call me...Mother of the Gods;
the Athenians, call me Cecropian Artemis;
for the islanders of Cyprus I am Paphian Aphrodite;
for the archers of Crete I am Dictynna;
for the Sicilians Proserpine [Persephone];
and for the Eleusinians their ancient Mother of the Corn [Demeter].
Some know me as Juno [Hera],
some as Bellona of the Battles,
others as Hecate...and the Egyptians...
call me by my true name, namely, Queen Isis."

from Apuleius, The Golden Ass


The afterglow colors the sky in a myriad of multicolors that melt into the dark, green and lush landscape. Channels of water surrounded by lavish gardens line the paradisiacal promenades. Torches light the path leading to the Grand Ziggurat, first wonder of the world. Chimes create splendor tones as drums spill a rhythmic beat. The signalling of the horn announces the opening celebration of the Grand Ziggurat.

The fragrance of incense invades the area near the gathering congregation. The visitors, the Annunaki, float from the entrance. Three hooded beings look down on the crowd and state that with this great tower mankind will now be able to reach the heavens and read the stars. The visitors speak to us not through speech but through thoughts in picture and sound. They are the ancient ones and have been with us since before the Great Deluge. They arrive in lights that move in the sky like the fluttering butterfly.

The Annunaki, the Sons of God, are the wise ones who descended to the earth from the star of Sirius. During the beginning of time they taught man earth and planetary sciences in the land of Atlantis. After the destructions of the waters they helped man rebuild civilization in the land of Babylon. Throughout the times they have consorted with our females and the offspring known as the Nephilim.

The great city of Babel, one of many built by the mighty hunter Nimrod, is to be the capital for the King of the Domains. After Nimrod's death his wife Semiramis, who also borne him, proclaimed herself Queen of Heaven and Goddess of the Moon and the dead Nimrod the God of the Sun. Semiramis cut the corpse of Nimrod into tiny pieces and sent them to the four corners so that all could exalt them. Semiramis and Nimrod could perform miracles and signs as is the custom of the Nephilim.

Semiramis appears from the golden doors of the ziggurat. Wearing a cerise dress with sparkling emeralds in her hair she walks towards the Annunaki. After the one in the center touches her forehead Semiramis turns to the crowd and disrobes enchanting the audience. As she begins to dance the crowd follows her, seduced by her phosphorescent eyes which burn like hot coals. Dancing towards the sacrificial alter where a pure white lamb lies. With an ivory blade she sacrifices the animal in the name of Nimrod.

Suddenly a great flash envelops the sky and a thunderous boom erupts. The bright flash of light seems to race across the ground and the noise of the carnival can no longer be heard. Then what sounds like the buzz of a million honey bees follows the light which pursues the people, now trying to seek refuge. The light passes and the darkness dissipates but confusion reigns. Voices, thousands of voices all speaking a different tongue, a different word for a different thing.

No one could understand why they could not understand each other but amidst the confusion everyone became scattered to the four corners of the earth. They took the worship of the Goddesses and Gods with them. Thus came to be their many manifestations: Astarte and Baal, Ishtar and Tammuz, Isis and Osirus (but more specifically as Isis and the suckling Horus) and most recently as the Madonna and Child.

Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
