I have heard it said that Genesis was taken from the Enuma Elish, but I cannot confirm this.
The one thing you get from the Terra Papers that you dont get elsewhere is the context in which the creation story occurs in. Why Earth was desired as a home or outpost to the creators.
I call them manipulators as they didn't really "create" man, but altered the already existing earlier primates we have in the fossil records. They just used their own genetics to make early man more capable so they could perform tasks.
It can be said to explain the missing links we have in the fossil records concerning mans evolution as well as how man gained the knowledge of being civilized concerning agriculture, animal husbandry, government, and economy, that seems to just pop up all of the sudden in our ancient history, all over the planet in the same time period. It also explains how man learned religion (or made it up).
It can be taken as just another story and stands well on it own just as fiction alone. If you have looked at other creation stories, you can find a strange relationship with all of them but it is a more subjective relationship due to all the symbolism and metaphor.
I you are interested in taking up studying the creation stories of the world then there are lots of places that you can find this stuff.

Why didn't Mr Morning Sky publish his works when he first wrote it? There are thousands of small printing shops at the time all over the USA.
Where is the alien body? Is there any physical evidence to back up the claims of the story?
The first question is important to the "who was first" idea of ancient aliens coming down and teaching us everything theories.
The second one is the most important one. Any trace of the ship or any remains of the aliens would be evidence or proof. We just have the story to go on, and for us who do not know Mr Morning Sky, that is not much.
You should not be defensive about questions when there are controversial claims or ideas at stake. I have nothing against you or Mr Morning Sky and do respect your ideas and beliefs. But if you want me to take it serious, I do need something to back the story up. There are many contradicting theories and ideas out there and evidence is the best way to back up ideas.

First would be the Enuma Elish,THE EPIC OF CREATION from The Seven Tablets of Creation
The Bible was not that far behind... I am not aware of any earlier written works though India and Tibet might have...
The second one is the most important one. Any trace of the ship or any remains of the aliens would be evidence or proof. We just have the story to go on, and for us who do not know Mr Morning Sky, that is not much.
For 2000 plus years mankind has gone on just the Story of the Bible, The Qu'ran, the Rig Veda... none of those have proof yet we live our lives believing in those...
But if you want me to take it serious, I do need something to back the story up. There are many contradicting theories and ideas out there and evidence is the best way to back up ideas.
Have you asked a Bishop, a Rabbi or an Imam for evidence and " something to back the story up" ? Those certainly qualify as "contradicting theories and ideas' that millions have fought and died for over the last 2000 years...
Sorry if I don't see the difference...

Sorry but I do not see any correlation to a 60's TV show and the discussion of THE TERRA PAPERS.....
[edit on 25-8-2008 by theRiverGoddess]
I agree that using any television shows/movies to make any kind of point is starting on the wrong foot - tv shows aren't based on real history, they're imaginative stories based on myths, legends, etc. used in whatever way they want to capture an audience and keep them glued to the television while the real world happens outside the windows.... I've seen this a few times at ATS, trying to relate a tv show or movie, and its (in my opinion) misleading to rely on anything in or from them.

Indeed "relying" on anything you see on TV would be folly. However, according to the Terra Papers someone is trying to "wake us up" all the time. There are memory jogs in books, movies, television, music, radio, etc. Whose to say that what the gentleman posted about the 60's TV show wasn't another one of those attempts to "snap us out of it".
Just saying'....

its interesting. very interesting.
assuming this is true, then we really need to begin to piece together our history with other aspects of religion and culture. Ive read the book, "The gods of Eden" by Whilliam Bramley as well, which ties together.
assuming this is not true, it was nothing more than an attempt for robert morning sky's get rich/attention quick skeam which did "ok" to say the least for someone in the 60's or when ever this was writen.
what the UFOLOGY field needs now are the hoaxers to come forward with their intentions so that we can better understand why? and to ask them if they feel their hoax has actually meant anything AT ALL. or if was complete and utter Bull**** waste of time..
if astronauts and retired military are comming out now that their older, why not a hoaxer?
