The Separation of Heaven and the Earth is another well-liked myth in Chinese mythology. This myth was widely spread by numerous ethnic groups such as Han, Miao, Yao, Yi, Naxi, Buyi, and Dulong. In the myth, Zhong and Li broke the connection between heaven and earth. The problem started when Chiyou brought disaster to the common people. This caused the people on earth to start becoming corrupt. Many people began to steal, disobey their faith and violate important oaths. To make a long story short, the Supreme Divinity ordered his deities Zhong and Li to cut the links between heaven and earth. After that, people could on no account come up to heaven again.

Undo? I don't know if this is right, but isn't the bottomless pit a different place from where the 6th angel loosed the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates? Wouldn't that mean Enki absu would be some place else, other than the Euphrates river? Oh! Maybe I'm just confused...

refresher on what i think KA.DINGIR.RA actually means
now we know that "ilu" is from "il" which is from "lil" which is from "enlil".
enlil's name has several interpretations and therefore, several cuneiform glyphs, but the one most seem to ignore is the one for ilu that is for dingir (digir), god, goddess, diety.
this one, as provided by the penn state sumerian dictionary. (this is DINGIR or DIGIR (dngr, dgr)
psd.museum.upenn.edu...
E.DIN was E.DEN. "E" meant house or temple. So E.DIN or E.DEN is the house/temple of ILU/god/goddess/deity
psd.museum.upenn.edu...
what does that^ really look like? a star right?
hold on to your hats.
since it's in the word "babilu"
is it possible the word babilu actually means "star gate" or "gate of heaven?"
"It's not 'Door to Heaven', it's... 'Stargate'."
Dr. Daniel Jackson from the film, STARGATE, doing a Conveniently Precise Translation of Egyptian hieroglyphs
enlil had become associated with heaven. his name means lord of wind, lord of air, lord of heaven, and several other lord titles. (en means lord in sumerian-akkadian)
so the name for heaven/god/goddess/deity (ilu, dingir, digir) was dissected from his title, lord, and applied to the gate (abzu, bab). heaven and star were synonmously translated, and you have stargate. the abzu. the abyss. the bottomless pit.
either that, or i'm totally wrong and i have to start my translations all over again
maybe someone mistranslated digir as deity/god/goddess, or didn't notice it had been melded with heaven/star by the time of the rebuilding of the "tower of babilu". i'm guessing since enlil was a entity before babilu was rebuilt that the word means all of the above -- deity/god (in his case)/heaven/star.
what we need to do now is see whether it's refering to the sun or not. once we do that, we can determine if it's just a reference to it being an astronomical tower or if it's really a device for interplanetary travel.
and the answer is, apparently it was not built for astronomy purposes, specifically, it doesn't appear to be a tower for babylonian astrology/astronomy.
the symbol for sun is the first symbol (on the left) in this image
psd.museum.upenn.edu...
not this
psd.museum.upenn.edu...
so the "tower of babilu" was not for worshipping utu or shamash nor for charting the course of the sun.
this, however, doesn't account for An (later called Anu), the god of the heavens, who has the same symbol as Enlil's "ilu", the digir/dingir symbol above. how very curious.

REPOST of the etymology of "chaos" (confusion is one way it was translated in biblical text)
OLDEST REFERENCE IS SUMERIAN: ka-dingir, translated to be something like a mixed up medley of songs. a cacophony, a chaos of noise.
SECOND OLDEST IS AKKADIAN: babilu, translated to be gate of god.
THIRD OLDEST IS BABYLONIAN: tiamat, translated to be primordial chaos, the sea, the abyss (which takes us to chaos)
FOURTH OLDEST IS GRECIAN: chaos, translated to be abyss (among other things)
so the theory goes that the word babel means chaotic water (whirlpool?) gate of the gods which goes to the stars/heavens (italicized part is a new definition i've added to further the etymology of the various words used to describe it in the ancient texts)
p.s. posted it yet again, to get page over, to see what thunderheart had to say. ah well, so much for scholarship. *tosses language, history, archaeology, artifacts, science, etc etc, out the window* there now, is that better thunderheart?edit on 25-6-2011 by undo because: (no reason given)

Excellent work! Maybe abysinthe is in the abyss? Wormwood in the abyss, possibly a reverse-engineered craft? Just an idea.

if you've read the thread, you know that i've mentioned that the bottomless pit of chapter 9 of revelation is the abyss (the original greek for it, is abyssos, that is to say, abyss). and that abyss is abzu, and that they all (theoretically) equal "star gate."
and if you've noticed, i've mentioned that "Wormwood" from chapter 8 of revelation is actually from the word "abysinthe" (this is an interesting word, as it contains "abyss" + inthe), as soon as i figure out why it's called abysinthe (what's the inthe for?) i'll probably have another layer of this thing unravelled.
Fascinating info! Reminds me of the "sky-ladder" in the story Jack and the Be an Stalk.

. There is so much confusion between Sumerian, Babylonian and Akkadian. In Akkadian the word 'ilu' means 'tall guys' and they were not actually gods.

I've just come on this thread and I don't have time to read hundreds of pages.
If you have a photo of a real stargate then help me out here and post it. It's quite simple really and would take you only a couple of seconds.
Thanks...much appreciated

Ok, so I'll assume you have no photos
which I have to ask......
how do YOU know they exist when you don't have the proof they even exist?
Stargates are only real when we see one and it's in working order. Until then....I'll stick with SG1 and Stargate Atlantis where stargates only exist in Hollywood.
