We must not forget that the creation story of Genesis (genetics or the creation of our solar system and mankind) was taken from the Sumerian-Babylonian creation story of the Enuma Elish. Including the story of Adam and Eve etc.
Also keep in mind that the Sumerian civilization was ruled by the Black Gods of Kush/Punt (Ethiopia). For many Afro-Centric scholars think the Sumerian were black but if you look closely at the statues depicting the common people, they were clearly the ancestors of what we called white people today (Anglo Saxon)
Even Sitchin who translated the Sumerian tablets is a Russian Jews and a linguist of many ancient languages including Cuneiform. We also are aware that caucasian people (like so-called egyptologist) has been the custodians (pillagers) of our ancient knowledge for awhile now and many information we receive comes down second handed. However, we were the dictators of the divine scrip, as God Enki was to the master scribe Endubsar.
Anyways, according to Sitchin in his book "Genesis Revisited" stated the "Firmament" in Genesis is actually the asteroid belt.
Here is an except....
Here is how the Mesopotamian version began to draw the primordial picture:
When in the heights Heaven had not been named
And below earth had not been called,
Naught but primordial Apsu, their Begetter,
Mummu, and Tiamat, she who bore them all,
Their waters were mingled together.
No reed had yet been formed,
No marshland had appeared.
"Even in traditional King James version, the biblical opening is more matter-of-fact, not an inspirational religious opus but a lesson in primordial science....
"....With this understanding, the reference in the Mesopotamian version to the mingling "waters" of Tiamat ceases to be allegorical and calls for a factual evaluation. It goes to the question of plentiful waters of Earth and the biblical assertion (correct, as we soon will realize) that when the Earth was formed it was completely covered by water. If water was so abundant even at the moment of Earth’s creation, then only if Tiamat (Pre-Earth) was also a watery planet could the half that became Earth be water!
"The watery nature of Tehom/Tiamat is mentioned in various biblical references.
"....What was the "wind" of the Lord that "moved upon the face of the waters" of Tehom/Tiamat? Not the divine "Spirit" but the satellite of Nibiru/Marduk that, in the Mesopotamian texts, was called by that term! Those texts vividly described the flashing and lightning strokes that burst off Nibiru/Marduk as it closed in on Tiamat. Applying this knowledge to the biblical text, its correct reading emerges:
When, in the beginning,
The Lord created the Heaven and the Earth,
The Earth, not yet formed, was in the void,
and there was darkness upon Tiamat.
Then the Wind of the Lord swept upon its waters
and the Lord commanded, "Let there be lightning!"
and there was a bright light.
Then the Wind of the Lord swept upon its waters
and the Lord commanded, "Let there be lightning!"
and there was a bright light.
"The continuing narrative of Genesis does not describe the ensuing splitting of Tiamat or the break up of her host of satellites....
"....Genesis picks up the primordial tale here and describes the forming of the asteroid belt thus:
And Elohim said:
Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters
and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And Elohim made the Firmament,
dividing the waters which are under the Firmament
from the waters which are above the Firmament.
And Elohim called the Firmament "Heaven."
"....What separated the "upper waters" from the "lower waters," the Genesis text stresses, was the Raki’a; generally translated "Firmament," it literally means "Hammered-out Bracelet." Then Genesis goes on to explain that Elohim called the Raki’a, the so called Firmament, Shama’im, "the Heaven" - a name that in its first use in the Bible consists of the two words Sham and ma’im, meaning literally "where the waters were." In the creation tale of Genesis, "the Heaven" was a specific celestial location, where Tiamat and her waters had been, where the asteroid belt was hammered out.
"That happened, according to the Mesopotamian texts, when Nibiru/Marduk returned to the Place of Crossing - the second phase of the battle with Tiamat: "Day Two," if you wish, as the biblical narrative does.
(Mr. Sitchin at this point explains also how the various planets and Nibiru/Marduk itself "begat" their satellites, moons or moonlets, as the "invader" was interacting with the planets in its orbit.)
Then he continues:
"....It has taken modern astronomy almost two centuries to find out what the Sumerians knew 6,000 years ago.
"Even with this knowledge, the biblical statement that the "Hammered-out Bracelet," the Shama’im - alias "the Heaven," divided the "waters which are below the Firmament" from the "waters which are above the Firmament" remained a puzzle. What, in god’s name, was the Bible talking about?
"....We know - don’t we? - that the asteroid belt had, indeed, as the ancient text reported, divided the planets into two groups. "Below" it are the Terrestrial, or inner Planets; "above" it the gaseous, or Outer Planets.
Modern science has confirmed the ancient assertion to the fullest: there indeed have been "waters above the Firmament."
