 Book Of Enoch/ Uriel's Machine

Part I.

'Uriels machine' by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas

In this book, the authors present powerful new geological evidence that the earth was hit by 7 mountain - sized lumps of comet 9,500 years ago (7640 BC) , creating a series of giant waves that ripped across the globe. They reveal how a civilisation emerged which built an international network of sophisticated astronomical observatories (the great megalithic sites in western europe) which provided and accurately predicted cometary impact years in advance.

Further, they show that the Book of Enoch, rediscovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls, contains precise details on the building of a machine for the reconstruction of a shattered world.

The Book Of Enoch - overview

This ancient text was rediscovered by the Freemason James Bruce around 1765 near the City of Axum. He presented it to the King upon his return to England and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. More recently, nine further copies of the Book Of Enoch at Qumran within the Dead Sea Scrolls have been discovered. These damaged fragments were buried sometime prior to AD 68 and show that the astronomical and astrological material has been there from at least 200 BC.

The book contains some unusual information including astronomical knowledge and descriptions of an observatory on a mountain top, along with warnings of a coming catastrophe and details of the preparations that need to be made.

The first chapter tells the reader that a great judgement will be sent upon the earth in the form of a deluge, and only a handful of selected members of the human race will survive. The hero of the narrative, speaking after the deluge, also warns that there is another judgement yet to come. This seems to be the prophecy Jude talks about when he mentions Enoch - perhaps indicating some writers in the New Testament had access to the book.

The book also recounts how Enoch was taught astronomical information by an angel called Uriel and also tells of a strange group of beings called the Watchers, who bred with local women to produce giants as their children.

A brief summary:

Chapter 1: The warning of a judgement in the form of a deluge, and that only a handful will survive
2-5: homily regarding the harmony and regularity of nature
6-7:  The story of the strange beings called the Watchers
17-36:  Enoch's journeys with the watchers. He is told about the deluge.
37-71:  Parables of Enoch. Concentrating on his understanding of the Last Judgement and the form it will take.
72-82: Astronomical information
Following this Enoch's dreaming visions and finally the 'Epistle of Enoch', which describes Enoch's advise to Methuselah and his family, and the birth of Noah.

(Note that the birth of Noah is detailed in even more detail in the 'Tales of the Patriarchs' in the Dead Sea Scrolls (document 1QapGen)).

Part II.

Chapter 6 of Enoch tells us of an advanced but 'unholy' civilisation before the global flood before which earthly women had been impregnated by a group of 200 giants. The degeneration of this civilisation is next described:

'And there arose much godlessness and they committed fornication, and they were led astray and became corrupt in all their ways.'

[Enoch 8: 2-3]

Next, we hear that the archangels are displeased and decide that the Earth shall be destroyed. Uriel is sent to the son of Lamech (Noah) by The Most High with instructions for him:

'a deluge is about to come upon the whole earth and will destroy all that is on it. And now instruct him that he may escape and his seed may be preserved for all the generations of the world.'

[Enoch 10: 2-4]

We are told Enoch goes away somewhere with the Watchers. He recounts that he is taken to a lofty place, a tower raised high above the earth and told to remain there and observe what is to transpire.

The agent of the global flood - the comet - is then described by Enoch (Knight and Lomas date this to the cometary impact of 7640 BC identifiable from geological records - nitric acid traces, magnetic fingerprints, tektite trails and radiocarbon blips).

'I saw in a vision how the heaven collapsed and was borne off and fell to the earth. And when it fell to the earth, I saw how the earth was swallowed up in a great abyss (cf. Nostradamus Letter to Henri II 'and there shall be in the month of October some great movement... that it will be plunged into the abyss of perpetual darkness - KOT), and the mountains were suspended on mountains, and hills sank down on hills, and high trees were rent from their stems, and hurled down and sunk in the abyss. And thereupon a word fell into my mouth, and I lifted up (my voice) to cry aloud, and said 'The Earth is destroyed'

The arrival of the 7 lumps of comet is described:

'I saw there seven stars like burning mountains, and to me, when I inquired regarding to them, The angel said: 'This place is the end of heaven and earth: this has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven. And the stars which roll over the fire are they which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord in the beginning of their rising, because they did not come forth at their appointed times. And He was wroth with them, and bound them till the time when their guilt should be consummated (even) for ten thousand years.'

[Enoch 18:13-16]

Again Enoch asks about the incoming 'stars':

'And there I saw seven stars of heaven bound together in it, like great mountains and burning with fire. Then I said 'For what sin are they bound, and on what account have they been cast hither?'

[Enoch 21 4:6]

In a dream Enoch sees the moment of disaster:

'And again I saw with mine eyes as I slept, and saw the heaven above, and behold a star fell from heaven.. And behold I saw many stars descend and cast themselves down from heaven to that first star... and behold all the children of the earth began to tremble and quake before them and to flee from them. And again I saw how they began to gore each other and to devour each other, and the earth began to cry aloud.'

Next, the tidal waves and flooding is described:

'And the spirit of the sea is masculine and strong, and according to the might of his strength he draws it back with a rein, and in like manner it is driven forward and disperses amid all the mountains.
  And thence I went towards the east, into the midst of the mountain range of the desert, and I saw a wilderness and it was solitary, full of trees and plants. And water gushed forth from above. Rushing like a copious watercourse [which flowed] towards the north-west it caused clouds and dew to ascend on every side. And all the cattle of that enclosure were gathered together until I saw how they sank and were swallowed up and perished in that water sinking to the bottom with all the animals, so that I could no longer see them, and they were not able to escape, (but) perished and sank into the depths. And again I saw in the vision till those water torrents were removed from that high roof, and the chasms of the earth were levelled up and other abysses were opened. Then the water began to run down into these, till the earth became visible; but that vessel settled on the earth, and the darkness and light appeared.'

The idea of an extraterrestrial impact occurs in at least one other ancient account from the area of the Mediterranean. The so called Sibylline Oracles contains seemingly linked information:

'and from heaven a great star shall fall on the dread ocean and burn up the deep sea, with Babylon itself and the land Italy, by reason of which many of the Hebrews perished.'

'And then in his anger the immortal God who dwells on high shall hurl from the sky a fiery bolt on the head of the unholy: and summer shall change to winter in that day.'

Returning to Enoch, it seems he was a far more important figure in early Judaism than has been previously realised. Modern biblical research shows that a separate form of Enochian Judaism existed up to the Roman destruction of the temple. Jude and Revelations would appear to be Enochian works. The writer of Revelations foresees another Comet disaster (Rev 8:7 to 9:1). The disaster that Enoch apparently predicted did occur - but the prophecy contained in Revelations is still to come.
 

Part III.

The impact 7640 BC and world flood

Key points:

America's inland salt sea and salt deserts date from exactly the same time as the 7640 BC impact - being remnants of the enormous waves it caused. The land-mass of Europe and Asia also shows evidence of inland salt seas which date from 7640 BC (in particular the lakes Van and Urmia, near Mount Arahat
are both salt lakes, although 1,670 and 1,250 metres above sea level respectively. The Caspain sea is also a salt-water lake).

Evidence from archaeologists shows that on the American continent about 7000 BC there was a major event that decimated the large terrestrial mammalian herbivores and carnivores - wiping out large numbers of species.

Legends from all over the American continent tell of an enormous, world shattering flood. Of particular note:

Ute Native American

"...the sun was shivered into a thousand fragments, which fell to earth causing a general conflagration. Then Ta-wats fled before the destruction he had wrought, and as he fled the burning earth consumed his feet, consumed his legs, consumed his body, consumed his hands and arms - all were consumed but the head alone, which bowled across valleys and over mountains, fleeing destruction from the burning earth, until at last, swollen with heat, the eyes of the god burst and tears gushed forth in a flood which spread over
the earth and extinguished the fire."

(Edmonds, M. & Clark, E., Voices of the Winds, Facts on File Ink, 1989)
 

Canadian Chiglit tribe

"The water having poured over the terrestrial disk, human dwellings disappeared, the wind carried them away. They fastened several boats to one another. The waves traversed the Rocky Mountains. A great wind drove them. Presently the moon and earth disappeared. Men died of a terrible heat. They
also perished in the waves. Men bewailed what had happened. Uprooted trees floated about in the waves. Men having fastened boats together trembled with cold in the darkness which covered the waters..."

(Petitot, M., Dialecte des Tchiglit)

Christian missionaries arriving in America were surprised to find the proliferation of Flood stories among Native tribes.

In 1878, the Reverend Myron Eells reported: "Those Indians had their traditions of a flood, and that one man and his wife were saved on a raft. Each of those three tribes also, together with the Flathead tribes, had
their separate Ararat in connection with the event."

(Clark, E.E.,Indian Legends of the pacific Northwest. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1963)

The Indians agree with the Jewish tradition concerning the cause of the flood, and regarding righteous men receiving a warning. For example, in Yakima legend:

"One of the good men told the others. 'I have heard from the Land Above, the land of the spirits, that a big water is coming - a big water that will cover all the land. Make a boat for the good people. let the bad people be killed by the water... The Earth will be destroyed by a big water if the people do wrong a second time.'"

Oral traditions concerning the flood can be found in all of the South American peoples as well. A legend from Peru tells of one man:

"One day a herdsman found that his animals were all staring in the direction of the sun. When he lifted his hand to his eyes to look himself, he saw a cluster of stars which seemed to be surrounding the sun, even in daylight. The llamas then told the man that the stars which had appeared close together, were a sign that the world was about to be destroyed by a great deluge. The farmer took his family and animals to the very top of a mountain and they had only just reached the summit when the waters of the sea rose up in a mighty wave and swamped the land. It was many days before the waters started to recede and while this was happening the sun was hidden by a great darkness." [KOT: nuclear winter effect from impact?]

(Bancroft, The Native Races of the Pacific States of America)
 

These stories and traditions are echoed by races and cultures from all over the globe. As the authors rightly ask, why are there so many stories of an inundation, if it is not a memory of a real event? Where are the stories of a great forest fire, terrible plague etc.? Surely, it is because the Flood is the most terrible event in the oral history of different peoples from across the globe.

Of course, sceptics are quick to dismiss any oral tradition - claiming them to be the inventions of the imaginations of primitive peoples. But the reality is that a common theme pervades these stories despite that fact that many of them were developed by people in isolation. In particular, consider the Australian Aborigines. These people are thought to have had no contact with the rest of humanity for 40,000 years prior to Captain Cook and have never developed writing. This insured that their oral tradition remained
constant and is thought that some of their stories go back at least 10,000 years. Since the impact occurred in 7640 BC, and one of the major impact sites was in the Tasman sea - the south of Australia would have been hit by a Tsunami. So what does their tradition remember about the event?

Like the Book Of Enoch, the Aborigines have stories about outside advanced visitors, 'spirit people', who came down from the sky ('Nurrumbunguttias'). They ruled the earth but after some time the sea rose up and flooded the land. Many Nurrumbunguttias were killed, but others escaped back to the heavens.

The Aborigines record the Flood in many ways - it must have been experienced widely by the 500 or so different tribal groups.

A story tells how the world was once dark and sorrowful as floods ravaged the land and animals took refuge in a cave high up the mountains. From time to time, one of them would go to the entrance and see if the waters had subsided. There was nothing to be seen except the swirling of waters under a sunless sky.

There are many stories amongst the Aborigines of seven sisters who came from a great hole in the sky in the constellation of Orion. In one version, these seven sisters are called the Water Girls. Terrible events accompany them and a young man flees from the wrath of the sun goddess. He tells how he can smell his hair singeing and watched as trees cracked and burst into flame, indeed he says 'the whole world seemed to be on fire.' The oral tradition of the death of the people at Marabibi tells how Yunggalya, the 'running star',
appeared and a number of objects fell to the earth, burning and removing the skin of the people. Yet another story of the seven sisters tells of flying stars which drop down and make holes in the ground.

The peoples of the isolated island of the Pacific, such as the Tahiti and Fiji, have similar Flood stories.
