The God Table: A New Origins Theory of Religion and Civilization

Abstract

The writings of 1st century historian Flavius Josephus describe Adam's vision of the earth's destruction by flood and flame. Josephus also implies that Enoch, the first holy man and scribe, carved the Razah D'Oraytah (Secret of Knowledge) into stone pillars to preserve this Knowledge for posterity after the prophesied flood. This article introduces evidence that the archaeological discovery of Göbekli Tepe on the Turkish plains of Haran, inadvertently uncovered these legendary "Pillars of Enoch." This article endeavors to decipher the Enochian "Secret of Knowledge" that is carved into the pillars and architecture of Göbekli Tepe as history's first theological and mathematical "treatise." This challenges Assyriologist Samuel Noah Kramer's assertion that "Sumerian men of letters developed no literary genre comparable in any way to a systematic treatise of their philosophical, cosmological, and theological concepts." (Kramer, 1981: p. 79). This explains why Abraham's father Terah longed to spend his final years in Haran, and why he named one of his sons Haran. What ties Enoch's pillars to Göbekli Tepe are the revelations carved into its pillars and architecture. The one text capable of revealing these secrets is the Sefer Yetzirah: The Book of Creation, the only text attributed to Abraham. This text encrypts an ancient mathematical table known as the "231 Gates" (or "God Table "), which provides the underlying structure of the Abrahamic/Mosaic Word of God, ‫,יהוה‬ as well as Enoch's Word of God, . Both "Words" are rooted in the Luwian hieroglyphics for "God" and "Gate" that are carved into Göbekli Tepe's "Blueprint of Creation." This suggests that the pivot point between pre-history and history can be moved from the 4th millennium BCE invention of writing and mathematics to 10th millennium BCE Göbekli Tepe. These Göbekli Tepe revelations, including the DNA of its builders, enable us to trace civilization's origins back to its Ethiopian founders.

Göbekli Tepe’s Pillars and Architecture Reveal the Foundation of Religion, Metaphysics, and Science

“…To understand the two "Trees" we need to understand how they are "nourished" by primordial elements. Once we learn that the inverse of logarithms is exponentiation, then for any real number x: x = log 2 n <==> 2 x = n. The primordial elements can therefore be written as: Earth = log 2 n, Water = log 3 n, Wind = log 5 n, and Fire = log 7 n (Schatz, 2022). This translates into the integer ratios of sound: 1:2 w = Earth (a progression of musical octaves); 2:3 x = Water (musical fifths); 4:5 y = Wind (musical thirds); 8:7 z = Fire (musical sevenths).…”

“…The two reciprocal "lines" defining the pyramid of the "World Soul" also symbolizes a three-dimensional tree-serpent in Genesis, as well as the twin serpents within Mesopotamia's oldest cylinder seals, depicting how the primordial elements of Earth and Water are entwined within a man's soul as a caduceus (Schatz, 2022). The two reciprocal geometric "lines" depicting the "World Body" contain the "World Soul".…”

“…In a previous paper (Schatz, 2022), we showed how DNA (Basal Eurasian Haplogroup E1b1b Y-DNA), distinctive cranial characteristics, expertise in farming, and other factors, contribute to our ability to identify the oldest highly evolved modern human culture as Ice Age proto-Afroasiatic Ethiopians who first migrated to the Levant about 15,000 years ago (Ehret, 2016). In 1928, British archaeologist Dorothy Garrod discovered 132 Epipaleolithic skeletons that date to approximately 15,000 BP.…”

“…(e) Plato's city of Magnesia was structured by Archytas Tuning (i.e., duple, triple, quintuple, and septimal progressions) which generates a 2520:5040 Octave "container" of holy man who has successfully opened the "Gate" to reveal a central clear path to "God." The mathematics of the "Gate" (Figure 18(a)) and "God" (Figure 18(b)) first appear in the pillar carvings and architecture of Göbekli Tepe (Schatz, 2022). Open Journal of Philosophy…”
