My personal interpretation of the flood-myth story departs from the account in the Old Testament of the Bible. I take issue with the simplistic account of wild animals compliantly lining up in pairs. We are told that the majority (seven of each) of the animals were domesticated, not wild and selected as food for Noah and his tribe. Therefore, I suggests that the only live animals taken onboard the ark were domesticated. Could it not have been that a considerable amount of work had gone into transforming wild species into domesticated varieties?

There was a strong motive to harness the power of a giant Aurochs in a ‘lite’ version which we now know in bovine form as bulls and cows.

Animals supported the burgeoning transition into settlements and farming. There is evidence from the excavations at Gobleki Teke in Anatolia that the monolithic structures there were created by agricultural communities 5000 years before the ‘official’ date. Nobody knows who these communities were but the appearance of the Mullilu ‘bags’ carved onto one stone, suggests an intriguing link with the Annunaki.

So we should not be surprised when we see mummified pussy cats in Ancient Egypt. Domestication of big cats to, presumably rid grain stores of vermin, lead to the creation of the domesticated feline. She was even elevated to the position of ‘god’ and many statues of her exist, as do mummified cats in such numbers their bodies were once burnt for heating.

The final step in this theory and certainly the most disturbing and controversial is that homo sapiens are ourselves domesticated animals, not for food but also as genetically engineered ‘gods’. Animals so beautifully perfect in their form that cosmic consciousness felt free to enter and inhabit human bodies as ‘soul’.

Let us return to the animals being selected to be preserved in the Arc. Should we take at face value the account in the Bible?

The reference to the animals going into the arc ‘two by two’ is a conspicuous detail. Why state this? Why not explain what happened to the plant, reptile, bird and insect kingdoms? And there is surely a fascinating tale to tell about the animals that did not survive, such as Unicorns.

The omissions are glaring, including the assumption that Noah and his family were the only humans at that time to own a boat. Many other races survived to tell the tale, one on similar lines as Noah only perhaps with smaller boats and their own food banks; we have their stories so no proof is needed on that point.

With reference to the Biblical version, we might ask why the precise dimensions of the ship were worth recording. If there is any detail we require it is its means of propulsion, navigation and anchoring. If we are examine the credibility of the Arc’s uncontrolled travels on a tempestuous ocean, it is hard to take it literally.

A boat, loaded with wild carnivorous animals, was always going to be an impossibility. How do you stop the animals eating each other like they do in nature? A powerless and rudderless ship was more likely to hit a mountain top and sink, than preserve life with a big L.

Was the Arc really a ship? Since the proportions of the Arc in the Bible are given as a cubic rectangular shape, I personally think it more likely it was a giant building. The dimensions of the Arc are exactly proportional to the First Temple of Jerusalem, which of course, was a building. Not only that but there is a truth in the creation of similar geometric forms at different scales, what we call today, fractals. The proportions demonstrate a complete understand of the Divine mathematics that governs all Creation. Perfect mathematical proportions are beauty and beauty is Divine.

So perhaps the Arc was a beautiful and functional building. Perched on a mountain top it would have had a far better chance of surviving. There might even have been several such buildings scattered around the globe around the world erected by different cultures and described, we know, in their own myths. After all, there was no real rush. To flood the world would have taken several hundreds if not thousands of years.

What we are missing in the Bible is an overview. Perhaps it has been over redacted over time, but certainly the Annunaki put a lot of effort into fine tuning a wobbling world so that it could emerge from catastrophe completely cleansed of impurity.

When we look at the records of how the Annunaki Sumerian gods are repeatedly depicted in pictures, they are standing either side of a flowering tree, a ‘tree of life’. This firstly gives us an idea of a ‘family tree’ with it’s various branches – genetic connections – as in ‘royal family’. The ‘blue blood’ of the modern royals might well be a linguistic remnant of the reptilian DNA in humans.

The pictures are intriguing. In one hand the ‘god’ or ‘demi-god’ is holding one of those bags already mentioned, and in the other, something resembling a fir cone. The bracelet contains a clue; an eleven petalled flower and a central ovary, one for each month of the solar year.

Pine cones are counter clockwise spiral forms that obey the arithmetical, Fibonacci growth patterns. They hint, symbolically, of the process of genetic engineering and or horticultural hybridisation. The seeds of a pine cone are fractals of a tree in nascence, and seeds is where this hypothesis goes next.

There are very few contemporary descriptions of what the ‘fir cone’ and ‘bag’ represent. However there is one translation from the Acadian language which uses the word, BANDUDDU or ‘Turkish Pine Cone’. The bag is a MULLILU or ‘purifier’. If we accept that the Sumerian gods were active in global DNA management, part of that process would be to eradicate unwanted elements of DNA, or as it is known today, ‘gene editing’. It was vital that disease and inferior life was eradicated or ‘purified’, for future generations, whether prior to a catastrophe or in micro-management of earth’s delicate ecosystems. At another level it was vital that humans became able to access ever increasing levels of consciousness.

The subject of genes returns us to this ‘two by two’ anachronistic detail. It is an interestingly similar mathematical picture of the double helix of mitochondrial DNA. Could Noah’s Arc have been a bank of DNA? Does the Mullilu contain genetically altered / improved pollen to fertilise the tree of life? Small bags, even today, usually contain light, high value items. (One of the strategy’s adopted by the scientists today in order to preserve life in the event of a global catastrophe is to create seed banks.)

Should we be surprised that DNA codes are binary and there are two sets of two letters to describe them; A and C = 0 / G and T = 1. As we know, 0 and 1 is the binary language of computers. This code and it’s most recent ‘quantum’ addition (neither 0 nor 1) is now understood by many scientists to be how not only life forms are described, but the whole fractal universe. This is why beings from infinitely large distances away can come to our small planet and know the deep structures, or programming, of our three dimensional existence. It’s the same everywhere in the binary code Universe…two by two.
