I find it interesting you mention Sitchin. What is your opinion of him?
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Sitchin. He was an independent, outside the box thinker who was exhaustive in his research; a true scholar in the classical sense. You will find, over the course of time, a number of his astronomical and archeological statements and theories to be proven correct.
However, it is important to note his limitations, in that his thinking was two dimensional regarding his subject matter. For one thing, his translations of the cuneiform tablets were choppy and limited. He often filled in the blanks using his own overly biased materialistic perspective instead of consulting with other archeological, theological, and Sumerian experts. What Sitchin did not seem to understand, or even comprehend, was that all higher learning for the ancients was guarded and passed down by the priest class as ONE comprehensive, holy science. All sciences, spiritual and materialistic, observable or philosophic, theological and countable, in ways both inside the soul and without, were all rolled into one. Today, we have neat little compartmentalizations and categorizations that are wonderful to intensely specialize with, but at a huge cost. Part of that cost that the artificial separateness we have created in science serves to have various sciences and scientists not understand their colleagues in separate fields, even ridiculing and attacking other fields. It is a house divided.
For example, take the word Abzu. It can mean deep well or water source, deep space, or unfathomable depth within one’s soul. In a myth, story, or teaching; Abzu can mean one, two, or all three of these meanings, and teach different things, all within one story!
When Inanna was spoken of being given dominion of India, we can interpret a historical ancient goddess ruling India, a matriarchal, yet warlike cultural bent being seen in the geography of India, the planet Venus coming into astrological conjunction over India portending an era or events, a religious sect with Inanna’s qualities sweeping over India, and… even a couple other things. Sometimes, only one of these interpretations of events occurred, sometimes several. And very often, the myth and cosmology was used as code to inform the actual information to the most learned. As you grew and became more knowledgeable and more wise, the myths grew with you, in the direction you grew!
Sitchin had no concept of the spiritual code, and very little of the astrological. His interpretation is incomplete, and inconsistent with how the Sumerian priests thought, wrote, studied, and communicated.
Unfortunately, this is the same trap most Kolbrin researchers find themselves in. Lacking understanding of the spiritual sciences, they inevitably find themselves at a dead end with their research.
One day, the sciences and the scientists shall recognize their brothers again. On that day, the key to both the Sumerians and the Kolbrin shall be found…
