What's the Purpose of Sky Gods and Sacrifice?

Let me tell you...

Hello dear subscribers! Thank you for taking an interest in my writings on a very unique subject. I feel I have some explaining to do. If you have taken the time to read all thirteen of my essays you probably have noticed what seems to be a lack of focus. Allow me to explain how things have evolved.

This account was originally set up because of my renewed interest in the whole ET/UFO/NHI genre. Last year I read several UFO-inspired books including Lou Elizondo’s Immanent, Chris Bledsoe’s UFO of God, and Diana Pasulka’s two UFO books as well. I once had a perspective on this subject that was influenced by Jacques Vallee and evangelical Christianity, but starting around 10 years ago I have since deconstructed from the latter, allowing me to be much more open-minded in my approach.

Regarding my spiritual shift, I still feel there is a powerful creative spiritual force that aligns with Truth, Love, and Justice and I suppose we can call this “God,” yet I doubt that any future revelation will bring validation to any specific currently-existing institutional religion that exists today. My feeling is that these days we need spiritual humility rather than religious certainty, and a common set of values to rally around rather than a set of doctrines and dogmas concerning what to believe about “God.” The human family needs Solidarity not Tribalism right now, and I see the breakdown of institutional religion as a necessary step towards breaking out of our current predicament.

That predicament, as I share in the first few essays, is Civilization itself, a way of being human that began around 5000 years ago. I know this is controversial, perhaps even laughable to some, but at least read my initial essays before writing me off or challenging me to an argument.

After my wide-ranging introductory essay, my second essay began by expressing my intention to question our (generally positive) ideas of what Civilization is, showing how it has been violent and seductive and controlling, how it brainwashes society, and how every Empire ends in self-destruction. I wanted to highlight seven modern scholars who each offer a unique perspective on how Civilization works, and so my essays continued, but I only managed to cover three of them.

And then Peter Thiel popped up.

Peter Thiel’s announcement that he was going to give a four-part lecture series on the Antichrist starting in mid-September got my attention in a big way. You see, back in the late 2000s during my years as an evangelical obsessed with the end times I studied the Antichrist for about five years straight. I published essays that went viral in the online evangelical community, I did numerous podcasts, and I was invited to conferences to give lectures on my end times theories. The culmination of my research was the publication in 2012 of my book, The Second Coming of the Antichrist. In that book I argued that the Antichrist would be a figure resurrected from the past, specifically the legendary Nimrod of ancient Babylon, who is named in Genesis 10 as the founder of the first kingdom in human history. The research I did for that book was my first introduction to the history of ancient Sumer and Egypt.¹

The impact of Peter Thiel’s “Antichrist Lectures” announcement was compounded by the fact that when it happened I was enrolled in an online course led by Professor Diana Pasulka, also on the subject of the Antichrist. After a dozen years or so since being an active part of the “Antichrist conversation” I returned again, signing up for the course wanting to know if there was any new perspectives I should be aware of. I also wanted to know if Pasulka’s interest in UFOs and NHI would intersect with her conception (or expectation?) of the Antichrist. It was a great course and I enjoyed my time in it, but on this last point I was sadly disappointed.

However, Peter Thiel’s announcement brought a new purpose into my life. I was already familiar with the subject, and currently involved in it, so why not challenge Peter Thiel directly by presenting my own findings? No longer identifying as an evangelical, and very conscious of how the biblical “Antichrist tradition” evolved over several phases through different books in the Old Testament, into the New, and then into its various guises throughout Christian history, what I planned to offer was a scholarly Deconstruction of the Antichrist. Thiel’s goal was to weaponize the biblical Antichrist tradition and use it to serve his techno-libertarian agenda, and I felt I had all the tools I needed to disarm him!

So that was the genesis of what became the first essay in my Origins series. I focused on Peter Thiel, and then I used his interest in the Tolkien mythos to direct the reader to ancient Babylon (Sumer), from where I would then explain how the Antichrist tradition began as a Hebrew polemic against the empire of Babylon in the years prior to and during the Babylonian captivity.

It was all very straightforward but confined to the realm of pagan myths, biblical scholarship, and common-sense progressive deconstruction. I wrote that first essay on September 3, and I figured I could wrap the series up in four or five essays, ending with a return to Tolkien’s mythos, showing how Thiel himself acts as the perfect Saruman who becomes captive to the agenda of Sauron — an excellent representation of the biblical Antichrist! My hope was that my writing would reveal Thiel himself as the nimrod he is through the two subjects that obsessed him the most. But once again, I got sidetracked…

Don’t get me wrong, I still feel that Peter Thiel’s hubris can be taken down a notch or two by my research. It was a clever idea and it still works, but I’m on to higher goals now. Here’s what happened:

I fed a PDF of my old book into ChatGPT and started asking questions about the real documented history surrounding ancient Uruk and its first few kings. Very quickly I was able to spot the errors that led to many of the wrong conclusions in my original work. For example, there was no way that the founder of Uruk (whom I identified as Nimrod) could also be Narmer of Egypt. I had tried to connect the two purely on philological grounds, and while that might work for an evangelical audience, real scholars are not impressed. My goal was to produce solid scholarship, not a clever theory crafted for bible-believers. Other errors were exposed as well, but along with that, as I continued to dig into the history and myths of this time period, I experienced a growing feeling that my original research had been poking around in the right places, but was just barely missing out on something big.

The myths and legends of a dying god at the dawn of civilization are there. This isn’t a fringe theory, there is actually a large body of academic scholarship devoted to this subject. My original Antichrist book focused on the Egyptian side and almost solely on the Isis and Osiris mythos of Osiris the king who is murdered. I knew there was more to be revealed, that it transcended my earlier narrow evangelical worldview, and that there had to be a solid connection to Uruk, the first empire that preceded Egypt.

The breakthrough came initially through two revelations, with help from specific questions and prompts fed into Chat-GPT. First of all, the evidence suggested that the myths of Inana and Dumuzi are telling the story of the downfall of Inana’s city, Uruk IV. This places Dumuzi directly on the 3100 BCE date in line, not with the founding of Uruk, but with the fall of Uruk and the founding of Dynastic Egypt. Secondly, I discovered that the name for the Egyptian king Narmer, written with the two signs of catfish and chisel, roughly equates with the title of Dumuzi as given on the Sumerian King List, which is “fisherman,” written with the two cuneiform signs of hand and fish.

As I wrote in my most recent essay, this is the blockbluster claim that I will spend the rest of my life defending: that Narmer of Egypt and Dumuzi of Uruk are the very same figure. He is the king who was murdered at the dawn of civilization, circa 3100 BCE. The collapse of his great empire that spanned from the Nile to the Euphrates and beyond left a power vacuum into which all of his imitators rushed, all desiring to become what “The Fisherman” was: Tyrant, king, and conqueror of the civilized world. His memory was deified and his life became the model for every imperial Tyrant that followed, and we’re still suffering the consequences today five thousand years later.

With these breakthroughs that I discovered after writing Part Two I realized I had to expand the scope of my work. Well, actually, the fact is I didn’t recognize it, I just started writing. What I thought would be one essay breaking down the Inana and Dumuzi myths turned into three. And then I wrote two more, first confirming the connection between Uruk and Egypt, and then showing how Dumuzi the priest-king of Uruk ends up in Egypt as its conqueror.

So that is where we are now. Seven essays of the Origins series investigating the circumstances surrounding the murder of a legendary king and the epic downfall of his mighty Empire, and we haven’t even looked into the Osiris myths yet. There is so much more to come, including more stunning breakthroughs that support the main premise.

This series is a lot to take in. I know that. Each essay averages about 5000 words and takes about fifteen minutes to read. I’ve also failed to provide a roadmap, so those that get started on the journey really don’t know where it is going or why. Ultimately this subject requires its very own website where all of the essays, charts, timelines, and relevant resources, can be easily found. In the meantime, I do plan to create a TLDR page with an index where I will briefly summarize the main points of each essay, to give new readers a quick way to get up to date. Eventually all of this information will be compiled into a book, but that will come later.

As it stands right now, to answer the question in the title of this update, the focus of Sky Gods and Sacrifice is locked in on unearthing all of the evidence available on the life and death of the original Tyrant and deified Founding Father of Civilization.

Going forward I foresee one or two more essays on the historical evidence surrounding the reign of Narmer, and then a few essays on how the life of Narmer, along with the archaeological facts we know about his queen and his son (Hor-Aha, aka Horus the Fighter), became central to the Isis and Osiris myths and to Egyptian religion in general. Over the centuries that passed the priests of Egypt were deliberately tight-lipped about the origin of their god Osiris, but with help from the Greek historians who pried the story out of them I think we can fill in a lot of the blanks. So an essay or two will be needed to cover their revelations as well. ²

The next step, after laying out the legendary career of this figure and examining the circumstances of his murder from the parallel perspectives of Egypt (Isis and Osiris) and Sumer (Inana and Dumuzi), is to publish an essay on the murder of this figure through the analytical lens of Rene Girard. This is where the long-term impact and the present-day relevance of this subject will be revealed in greater detail. Girard was a genius and his insights are incredible, and I’m really looking forward to releasing this essay after the proper historical foundation has been built.

After all of the facts about the life and death of this figure have been established and supported to the best of my ability, I will then turn to the treatment of him in the biblical tradition. I believe I can make a strong case that the Tyrant’s life and death and subsequent deification by the empires that oppressed the Hebrews (Assyria and Egypt) caused the Hebrew prophets to portray him negatively in texts that became the basis of the biblical Antichrist tradition. The Tyrant first clearly shows up in the First Temple writings of Isaiah and several other pre-exilic prophets, and then a new version of him appears in the hands of Second Temple writers like Daniel, which is ultimately recast in the book of Revelation as the Beast who is finally defeated by the Son of Man and cast into the abyss. The early Hebrews knew all about the presence of this figure that the surrounding nations glorified and worshiped as a god, and so they portrayed him as an enemy of their god Yahweh, and predicted that their Messiah would triumph over him as part of their glorious divine vindication at the end of history. The writers of the New Testament simply carried him over from the Old Testament and made him representative of the hubris, violence, and tyranny of the empire of Rome. ³

And now to bring this subject full circle, there is quite a lot that can be said about ancient Sumer, ancient Egypt, and the modern day UFO phenomenon.⁴ Could there be a link between Non-Human Intelligences and the origin of Civilization as I ask in my early essays? What about hybrids?⁵ If Sumer and Egypt were both founded by the very same bloodline, then where did that bloodline come from, and where did it go? Were they genetically superior to the humans they first dominated and subjected? What about giants and Genesis 6? Is there any truth to be found in the possibility of interbreeding in the past or perhaps even in the present day in terms of the Disclosure Agenda? What about Freemasonry that disguises Osiris by the name of Hiram Abiff, the central figure of their lore and their occult rituals? What about the provocative links between NASA and Freemasonry?⁶ Why does the logo for the intelligence agency of Space Force, the National Space Intelligence Center, feature the face of Osiris? What about the links between NASA and the UFO phenomenon? Why did NASA immediately take notice and send agents to investigate Chris Bledsoe’s accounts of his extraordinary contact experiences?⁷ Why did the supernatural entity he interacted with identify herself as Hathor, the ancient Egyptian goddess of the tribe of Horus?

I could go on and on here, but hopefully you the reader are beginning to see how crucial it is to establish the facts surrounding the life and death of the historical figure that Civilization came to worship as a god. First as Osiris and Dumuzi, and then by many other names as religion evolved and Civilization expanded. Once that historical foundation is confirmed, then a whole new world of revelation will open up, and a whole new list of questions.

That’s all for now, thanks for tracking with me, and I hope this update brings clarity to the long-term purpose and short-term focus of Sky Gods and Sacrifice.

1. For the record, only a couple of years after publication I withdrew my book from the publisher and it is now no longer in print. I did not believe the evangelical end-times perspective anymore, so I pulled it.

2. Greek sources also connect Osiris to the Indus River valley around the very same timeframe of 3100 BCE, but I will say no more than that.

3. The idea that the biblical Antichrist tradition begins in the writings of First Temple Judaism is not very well known, and was not even mentioned in Diana Pasulka’s course, which led me to write “Isaiah and the proto-Antichrist” to provide some of the evidence.

4. Does the Egyptian connection to the UFO phenomenon intrigue you? Then you absolutely must read The Stargate Conspiracy.

5. I must warn you, the Intelligence Community of the US military-industrial complex does NOT want you digging into this area of research. But if you insist, then watch this.

6. NASA and Freemasonry: See Dark Mission, chapter five.

7. See Bledsoe’s book, UFO of God, chapter eleven.
