I am kicking myself for not noticing this before. Quote from the Wiki:
Some hold that the origin of this motif is the Sumerian myth in which the goddess Ninhursag created a beautiful garden full of lush vegetation and fruit trees, called Edinu, in Dilmun, the Sumerian earthly Paradise, a place which the Sumerians believed to exist to the east of their own land, beyond the sea. Ninhursag charged Enki, her lover and husband, with controlling the wild animals and tending the garden, but Enki became curious about the garden and his assistant, Adapa, selected seven plants and offered them to Enki, who ate them. (In other versions of the story he seduced in turn seven generations of the offspring of his divine marriage with Ninhursag). This enraged Ninhursag, and she caused Enki to fall ill. Enki felt pain in his rib, which is a pun in Sumerian, as the word "ti" means both "rib" and "life". The other gods persuaded Ninhursag to relent. Ninhursag then created a new goddess named Ninti, (a name made up of "Nin", or "lady", plus "ti", and which can be translated as both Lady of Living and Lady of the Rib), to cure Enki. Ninhursag is known as mother of all living creatures, and thus holds the same position in the story as does Eve. The story has a clear parallel with Eve's creation from Adam's rib, but given that the pun with rib is present only in Sumerian, linguistic criticism places the Sumerian account as the more ancient.
So here we have confirmation of a very early version of the Genesis story in which Enki takes the role of Adam. This begs the question: is the "rebellion of Satan" and the "fall of man" the same event? Or is this merely what the priesthoods who wrote these stories believe?

And I again say, Isis isn't a real person, it's for the entire Orion (dominant) civilization that also dominates the Sirians (Osiris). The queens and kings chambers in the pyramids were misnamed and should be reversed. What a difference just these two 'possibilities' make to the entire understanding.

You know what? I don't feel so bad about never drawing any attention to this story before. The summary seems to be based upon the Enki and Ninḫursaĝa text, but it's hard to tell what exactly is going on here with Enki spraying his spooge everywhere.

You still haven't told me where the Egyptians identified Isis with Orion. Nor can I find a set of hieroglyphs where "Isis" is written with more than one throne. (I'm not saying there aren't any sources that do, but where are they?) So we should all check our sources.

isis is a later greek word. the original egyptian word for her name is aset.
so 2 chairs to represent IS - IS makes no sense...
essentially, it would be saying that her name was first translated from greek, where it was 2 chairs, then translated into egyptian where it wasn't.
this is the hieroglyph, it is a chair, a loaf of bread, an egg, and a woman

it's not chair chair, it's chair woman

hello kshaund,
I recently stumbled onto this thread after reading the Terra Papers.
I realize that this discussion has been going on for some time now and I'm only about 1/3 of the way reading through it all but, I just want to thank you for participating and giving your input in all realms of the discussion.
I found this thread after reading a couple of Brandon Levon's posts and I have to say that I really feel that even though we may never know the truth, there are definately bits of the truth scattered throughout the chaos. Nothing else to add at this time but, just........Thank You!

Yes, but the Greek form is not as random as it appears, and Brotherhood members like Plutarch, who wrote about the esoteric structure of the alphabet, would have made sure that the word retained something of its pictographic significance (even when Romanized!): "$$"
And as many Biblical scholars have pointed out, the zealous cult of Yahweh spent much of its time fighting a pre-existent cult of Asherah among the Israelites, the original "Queen of Heaven." Is it any wonder that the Gnostics, the original textual critics, said that the war between Sophia (Plutarch identifies Isis as "Wisdom") and Yaldabaoth was the hidden story of the Old Testament? (This is one fight I refuse to pick sides in. )

The Egyptian name was recorded as ỉs.t or ȝs.t and meant "(She of the) Throne." The true Egyptian pronunciation remains uncertain, however, because their writing system usually did not feature vowels. Based on recent studies which present us with approximations based on contemporary languages and Coptic evidence, the reconstructed, correct pronunciation of her name is thought to be *\ˈʔuː.sat\ ("-uesat"). (Osiris's name—that is, Usir or Wsir—also starts with the throne glyph ʔs ("-s").) Later, the name survived into Coptic dialects as Ēse or Ēsi, as well as in compound words surviving in names of later people such as "Har-si-Ese", literally, "Horus, son of Isis".
For convenience, Egyptologists arbitrarily choose to pronounce her name as "ee-set". Sometimes they may also say "ee-sa" because the final "t" in her name was a feminine suffix, which is known to have been dropped in speech during the last stages of the Egyptian language. Literally, her name means "she of the throne". Her original headdress was a throne. As the personification of the throne, she was an important representation of the pharaoh's power, as the pharaoh was depicted as her child, who sat on the throne she provided. Her cult was popular throughout Egypt, but the most important sanctuaries were at Giza and at Behbeit El-Hagar in the Nile delta, which was in Lower Egypt.

to me that says language variations have changed the spelling several times and that it originally had a "T" at the end to indicate it was a female name. it wouldn't be a repeat, ST ST, at any point, however. if it was, that would make it female throne, female throne. ?? i can't figure out why he thinks it was.... ? it shows one female with a throne or the variant, one female snake with a throne, but never throne throne.
