RACIAL ORIGINS OF PEOPLE IN THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT AND AFGHANISTAN


CHAPTER 2


ANCIENT WORLD HISTORY IN BRIEF AFTER NOAH’S FLOOD

CONDITIONS AFTER THE FLOOD

Noah, his wife, his 3 sons Shem, Ham and Japheth were all racially white. Shem had married a white woman. But Japheth married an oriental looking woman, a descendant of Cain, and Ham had married the negro Naamah, the famous daughter of Lamech, also a descendant of Cain, the goddess Athena of the Greeks, Minerva of the Romans and Kaali Maa (black mother) and Durga of the Indian Hindus. That’s how the 3 basic races, white, black and oriental, were preserved through the Flood.

After the Flood, Noah instructed his family in God’s way of life, but Naamah instructed her black children in the way their family had lived and ruled the world before the Flood. Japheth’s wife instructed her children in the way of life of ancestor worship of Cain that her family followed before the Flood.

Then the incident of Noah inadvertently getting drunk and Canaan the son of Ham and Naamah committing a perverted sexual act occurred (Genesis 9:20-27). This led Noah to pronounce a curse on Canaan, and prophesy about the future of the three races of his family. 

Genesis 9:20-27, “20 And Noah began to be a husbandman [grow grapes], and he planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine and was drunk; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

“24 And Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his younger son [that is Ham’s younger son Canaan] had done to him. 25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 27 God shall enlarge Japheth [grow in population], and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.”

Notice that though only Canaan was cursed, Ham was not cursed, but neither was he blessed as his brothers Shem and Japheth were.

Before the Flood Lamech had ruled almost the entire world! Because of interracial marriages, the world had become filled with violence. God wanted to prevent one man from ruling the world again and prevent interracial marriages because it led to violence.  So, God gave Noah a plan to colonize different areas of the earth which would separate the races, and each people would develop their own civilization, and not try to force their rule over others.

Before the Flood, the earth had one land mass. But the Flood changed the geography of the earth so that high mountains and islands formed to occur as natural barriers to prevent one tyrant from ruling the earth.

Noah took a ten-year long journey with his three sons to different areas to explore lands to send colonies to. While they were gone, Naamah the wife of Ham had the ears of the entire human family. She told them stories about her family before the Flood, leading her son Cush, Asshur the son of Shem and others to begin dreaming about ruling the entire world.

Ham’s son Cush, which means black, seduced and had an illegal relationship with the strikingly beautiful young white Semiramis, a great granddaughter of Japheth. She became pregnant and their black son Nimrod was born as a result of that relationship.

When Noah returned from his journey, he refused to let Cush interracially marry Semiramis, and because he was already married to his black sister, probably with straight hair, like Indians, and had children by her. Noah simply was not going to allow conditions to develop as before the Flood due to forced interracial marriages.

At that time wild animals multiplied faster than human beings and began to threaten the tiny human population. Animals were not wild before the Flood. That’s why some of Cain’s descendants were hunting elephants, mastodons, lions, tigers, leopards, hyenas and other wild animals for food. For protection of animals, wild animals became wild and ferocious. The physically very tall, strong and powerful young Nimrod rose to the occasion and began to protect humans from wild animals. He began to organize hunting parties to hunt and kill wild animals which drove them away from human populations. Thus, Nimrod began to be looked upon as a savior of mankind. This is how the bible describes Nimrod’s hunting activities in Genesis 10:8-9, “8 And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.”

Noah then began to implement God’s plan and send out colonies to different areas of the earth. But Cush, Nimrod, Semiramis, and Shem’s son Asshur (ancestor of the modern Germans) and a slight majority of humanity rebelled against God’s colonization plan. They refused to go to their assigned territories. Instead, they separated from Noah and those loyal to him and his son Shem and went to the land of Shinar in modern day Iraq and set up their own civilization. Thus, after the Flood rebellion against God and Noah was led by the black part of the human family, though they had white and oriental followers as well.

These rebels began to hate the true God because of what they claimed were His restrictive laws. In rebellion they set up their own god, the Sun-Fire-Serpent god, developed their own pagan worship system and set up a very high tower, known in history as the Tower of Babel, as a sanctuary for worship and began building a city. Cush and Nimrod became the high priests of the god they had set up.

Cush and Nimrod were basically rebelling against God and Noah for not allowing them to marry whomever they wanted, mainly white women. Now they were free from Noah’s influence and again began to force interracial marriages among those who followed them.  

Just as Nimrod’s great grandfather and Cush’s grandfather Lamech had done before the Flood, they too began to develop plans to rule all of humanity, and make the world of one race, one religion [their religion] and one society, under their control. To accomplish that they would probably have to assassinate Noah, his loyal son Shem and those with them who would refuse to come under their rule.

When God saw their plans, He decided to intervene. He confused the language of mankind and destroyed the tower (Genesis 11:1-9). People received different languages according to race. Because of confusion of language men could communicate only with those of their own race and no one else. Thus, they were forced to separate by race and move away from the city they were building.  

After the destruction of the Tower and confusion of language, Cush, Nimrod and Semiramis began to pick up the pieces of their empire. Their goal to control the entire world population remained intact. At that time the population of the world had reached only 5,000. Slightly less than half that number were loyal to Noah and Shem and had started going out in colonies as instructed by them. But they had not travelled far. So, the population of the world was still concentrated around the Middle East, in and around the land of Israel, Iraq, coasts of Egypt and the Mediterranean in Europe.

The import of destruction of the tower and the confusion of language was not lost on those in the Cush, Nimrod and Asshur camp. They knew that the destruction of their project was from God, and they noticed that the language they could understand was only of those of their own race, according to the division Noah had made for colonizing the earth. This caused a division in the Cush, Nimrod and Asshur camp. Asshur the white son of Shem separated himself and built Nineveh to the north of the cities Cush and Nimrod were building. This is described in Genesis 10:10-12: “10 And the beginning of his [that is, Nimrod’s] kingdom was Babel [meaning Babylon], and Erech [from which Iraq gets its name], and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city of Rehoboth, and Calah. And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.” However, Asshur and his descendants at that time still were part of Nimrod’s empire, and worked with him, under his rule.

For the efficient working of people on their projects of building cities, places of worship and growing food, Cush [the Menes of Egypt and known as Manu in the Indian scriptures] had organized all the workers in their camps according to the tasks performed by them, as he determined what their ‘aptitude’ was. But this division of labor was rigid. Those working on growing food would always remain in agriculture and they and their descendants would not be allowed to change their work to construction and building. Those assigned the task of keeping the cities clean would always attend to that task. Cush and Nimrod enforced their rigid division of labor on all. The people could not choose what tasks they wanted to perform according to what they enjoyed or had an aptitude for.  

The system Cush had originated which he and Nimrod enforced became highly oppressive. The people could not get away from it though many longed to do so, because of the fear of being killed for their rebellion. Others still did not forget the deliverance from wild animals brought to them by Nimrod and remained loyal to him, accepting their oppressive division of labor. 

The ancient Jewish historian Josephus describes the result of the policies of Cush and Nimrod in Antiquities I, IV, 2: “He [that is Nimrod] also gradually changed the government into Tyranny…seeing no other way of turning men away from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power…” This was the nature of the merciless, brutal, oppressive, freedom-less regime that was developing in Babylon.

We see the continuation of this horrible and oppressive system in the development of the rigid caste system in India and to some extent in Egypt. The straight-haired dark Indians were Cush’s descendants. Raamah the son of Cush mentioned in Genesis 10:7 is none other than the Rama of Ramayana who was deified by his descendants. And Nimrod is being worshipped in India as Krishana. Both the Mahabharata and the Ramayana glorify the caste system developed by Cush, the father of both Rama and Nimrod.

Cush, Nimrod and Semiramis continued to develop their worship system opposed to the worship of the true God. At this time for the first time in human history Nimrod introduced live human and infant sacrifices in his worship system. The live humans being sacrificed were probably captives who rebelled against Nimrod’s religion.

Some evidence of human and infant sacrifices instituted by Nimrod can be found in the practice of Sati in India before the 19th century A.D., which is the wife jumping alive into the funeral pyre cremating her dead husband and immolating herself. Such evil practices are glorified in the Hindu scriptures. The British had to outlaw the practice of Sati in India to end it in the 19th century.

Other evidence of infant sacrifices by burning alive comes from the Bible itself. Nimrod was later deified as the god Baal. The Canaanites were Baal or Nimrod worshippers and infant sacrifices, i.e. burning them alive in the fire, was one of their practices. That is why God ordered the Israelites to exterminate them. But part of the population of ancient Israel ended up adopting their evil practices.

Just imagine the hideous religious practices of these pagans. How would you feel if you were forced to give up your infant to be burnt alive as a sacrifice to the pagan god Baal or the Sun-fire-serpent god? Such was the tyrannical rule of Nimrod.   

Cush and Nimrod continued to promote and force interracial marriages. Evidence of forced interracial marriages can be found all over the world. Most of the descendants of Japheth, the ancestor of the Oriental peoples had joined Cush and Nimrod in their rebellion. 

Evidence of their mixing with the black race can be found in South and Southeast China, Tibet, Nepal, Southeast Asia, among Native Americans in north, but particularly South America. Many in the pure white line of Arphaxad were lured to become priests with huge grants of lands and tax-free status. They were also forced to mix with the black and yellow races. Their mixed descendants were the early Brahmins of India and others are mixed among the Egyptians. Later interracial mixing has also continued to occur.

REBELLION AGAINST CUSH AND NIMROD’S RULE

The camp of Noah, and the camp of Cush and Nimrod were not completely isolated. There was movement between them. Some escaped the camp of Cush and Nimrod to join up with Noah’s camp, while others who had gone out in colonies came and settled in Cush and Nimrod’s camp. One such person was Magog, the ancestor of the Chinese people, the son of Japheth. He and his descendants had gone out as colonists as instructed by Noah. They were allotted the land of China and were given maps by Noah on how to get there. This is not fiction. These maps were made by the Creator Himself and given to Noah as proved in the second volume of my book on ancient history, Satan vs. God: From the Flood to Abraham’s Call” Volume II.

Magog and his children started on the north route to go to China over many centuries. But because of the cold conditions during their journeys Magog decided with a part of his children to seek out the camp of Cush and Nimrod, as he had heard they were building cities to live in and life was more comfortable. 

Magog soon got a taste of the brutal and oppressive conditions in Cush and Nimrod’s camp. He objected to the forced interracial marriages of his descendants with the blacks. As a result, he was imprisoned by Nimrod. This eventually led most of the descendants of Japheth to rebel against the rule of Cush and Nimrod. As this resistance from the Japhethites became stronger over the years, Cush saw the handwriting on the wall. He was forced out and departed for Ethiopia with his children with curly hair like his own along with Semiramis, his common-law wife, to the land allotted to him by Noah according to God’s plan. Nimrod tried to maintain his empire in Babylon alone, but as the children of Japheth increased in numbers and strength, he too was forced out and went to Egypt. Two years later his father Cush disappears from Egyptian history, presumably murdered by his illegitimate son Nimrod and his mother and later wife Semiramis. Yes, she married her own son.

For the next 28 years Nimrod and Semiramis continued to propagate their pagan religion among the descendants of Ham in Africa, as well as among the Canaanites. Nimrod also traveled and propagated his religion among the other sons of Cush with the straight hair who were still around the Middle East but were destined to end up in India according to the allotment made for them in God’s colonization plan. 

The rebels continued to develop their pagan religion, adding many rituals and customs. Nimrod traveled far and wide to spread his religion with the aim of bringing all of humanity into it by selling the ‘civilized’ nature of his government. He also used threats and force to do so where necessary. 

The rebels then realized that they needed a trained priesthood to teach and propagate their religion. They hit on a masterstroke to do so, advised by Naamah, based on her family’s experiences before the Flood of providing financial and other incentives. Arphaxad’s descendants were the only ones trained by Noah to be priests. They were the only ones with the best available knowledge of astronomy which the rebels did not possess; possessing the only written records of true history before and after the Flood as passed down through Noah and Shem, and how to write and preserve them. This means they were the most literate among the people with knowledge and expertise in offering sacrifices and every other aspect of religion. But they depended on the goodwill of the people to faithfully pay their tithes and offerings to provide for themselves.

It would be an incredible prize for the rebels if they could win the descendants of Arphaxad over to their side and use them to propagate their own religion around the world instead of Noah’s religion.

Before the Flood material progress in Lamech’s family and their wealth had corrupted even the descendants of Seth who had been preachers of righteousness and God’s way of life. Naamah, the daughter of Lamech had explained it to the rebels. The masterstroke of the rebels was to use the same tactic to corrupt the descendants of Arphaxad. They simply invited them with massive financial incentives of profit and riches to become priests of their religion and forsake the true religion as taught by Noah and Shem.

The type of incentives offered to them were described by Diodorus of Sicily in his Historical Library in Book 1, Chapter 2, pp 27-29:

“But being willing to encourage the priests [the only ones trained as priests were the descendants of Arphaxad] to these divine offices by profit and advantage, she [Semiramis] gave them the third part of the country for the maintenance of the service of the gods [that the rebels had concocted] and their attendance at altars.”

Thus, massive profit was the motive for the willingness of the priests to go along with all her Babylonian Mystery worship system, recording of perverted history, and all else she required them to do. Just imagine what ownership of one third of all the land meant. It was better than any tax or tribute to support them, and far better and much more profitable than Noah’s tithing system. Ownership of the land also went with the law that no taxes and tribute was to be levied on the priests. They could ask common people to till the land for them in return for perhaps half the crops. That would enable them to maintain the temple complexes and pay themselves. In addition, they would receive the religious offerings of the people, and even require specific offerings from the people that they could devise for their own profit in the guise of pleasing the gods, or for the performance of services for the people, such as marriages, funerals etc. Such incredible financial incentives were too good to pass up. All of Arphaxad’s descendants except Abraham and his elder brother Haran willingly gave up worship of the true God to propagate Semiramis and Nimrod’s pagan religion. Paganism is worship of anything other than the true Creator God.

Wherever organized religion is found today, whether true or corrupt, has come down to us through the descendants of Arphaxad. Abraham was a descendant of Arphaxad. God preserved the true religion only through his descendants Isaac, Jacob [whose later God-given name was Israel] and the twelve tribes of Israel descended from Jacob. 

Even Abraham’s father had given in to paganism. When Abraham was young, he and his older brother Haran were forced to pay tribute by the Assyrians. A time came when they refused to do so. The Assyrian Count came and attacked Haran and Abraham. Haran was killed in this battle. Abraham fled with his wife Sarah to be with his ancestor Shem in Europe. That’s where Abraham acquired further knowledge of the true God and His ways and obtained ancient historical records, while all the rest of Arphaxad’s other descendants had been perverted by Semiramis’s financial incentives. 

At that early time in human history after the Flood when the world population was growing but was only between 100,000 to 250,000, even though humanity had become divided due to confusion of languages, most of the population had not gone far from Armenia from where Noah operated and had sent out colonies, or the land of Shinar in modern Iraq or Babylon from where the rebels operated. Noah had sent out colonies to lands on the Mediterranean Coast: Egypt and Libya in Africa, Italy, Spain and Greece in Europe. Others who were sent out towards the northeast [Magog and his descendants] had not moved far away yet. The descendants of the rebels were all still living close to Babylon.

To propagate the rebels’ religion throughout the world, therefore, all that Semiramis and the Assyrians-Babylonians had to do was plant the descendants of Arphaxad as priests in key areas among different peoples with incredible incentives of land, freedom from tribute or taxes, and the offerings of the people. 

In her life, Semiramis had been active in Egypt, Babylon and Assyria. The priests in Egypt worked with Semiramis. Paganism could thus cover all the descendants of Ham in Africa. They were planted in Babylon. Their descendants later came to be known as Chaldeans and actually built the Babylonian Empire under King Nebuchadnezzar. In Babylon they literally became priests to the tribes that migrated east into Asia, including India. Among Indians they came to be known as Brahmins. Later Pathans married Brahmins and their children also called themselves Brahmins because it gave them the highest status in the Indian caste system. Thus, the original Brahmins, descendants of Arphaxad, mixed with Indians were subsumed into the descendants of Pathans calling themselves Brahmins even today. Later Horus the son of Semiramis in a relationship with Ninus II of Assyria took a colony of them from Babylon into Europe after they had learnt the Babylonian Mystery religion. They later settled in Italy [where Noah lived out his last days] and propagated Semiramis’ Babylonian Mystery religion from there in Europe. 

Coming back to Nimrod; he had introduced live human and infant sacrifices. Nimrod traveled far and wide to spread his religion with the aim of bringing all of humanity into its fold by selling the ‘civilized’ nature of his government; and by using threats and force where necessary. He also had started making inroads into Italy, Spain and areas along the shores of the Mediterranean in Europe where some of the fairer descendants of Japheth had settled at that time. These were areas where Shem was active. At this stage, probably God decided Nimrod should be executed for his many crimes including live human and infant sacrifices. This is the first execution in the history of mankind ordered by God according to the law God instituted after the Flood as stated in Genesis 9:5-6, “5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 6 Whoso sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.”

When Nimrod’s execution was ordered through Noah, he was in Egypt. Shem immediately set about the task. He came to Egypt from Europe and being an eloquent man, convinced 70 princes in Egypt and surrounding areas to join him in bringing Nimrod to justice. As soon as Nimrod got word of the plan, he wasted no time and attacked Shem and those with him. Nimrod and his forces were defeated and fled to Italy. Shem followed him there and found him after a year, executed him, cut his body into pieces, sent the pieces to different areas of the world but mainly in the Middle East where the rebel population was still concentrated, as a warning against apostatizing. Noah was still alive and well at that time and would live about 150 more years.

Thus, after the Flood, the black part of the human family led the rebellion against God. Now perhaps we can appreciate why God prophesied the future of the 3 races through Noah the way He did. Even after the Flood, the black part of the human family ruled a majority of mankind. Over the centuries they were to lose their influence. If God had continued to let them materially prosper and rule the rest of mankind with force, they would have driven all of humanity away from the true God and forced everyone to marry interracially as Cush and Nimrod had already started to do. The result would have been the same as before the Flood: worldwide violence, corruption and bloodshed.

After Nimrod was executed, a fear fell on the entire rebel population, which was still small. They could no longer openly worship their false Sun-fire-serpent god for fear of being executed. After Nimrod’s execution, Semiramis fled to the delta region of Egypt, and from there to Babylon. The world population at the time of Nimrod’s execution was only around 90,000.

From Egypt, Semiramis fled to Babylon. Because of the fear of being executed for propagating paganism, Semiramis now began developing her Mystery religion, which later would become known as the Babylonian Mystery Religion (Revelation 17:5). In this religion they outwardly worshipped objects such as trees, and creatures such as the bull, but those initiated in the mysteries knew exactly what they were worshipping. Bull worship was Nimrod worship and tree worship (which has come down to our time as the Christmas tree) was actually worship of Semiramis. Since Nimrod was worshipped as a bull or calf, his mother Semiramis would obviously be worshipped as a cow. That is the origin of cow worship among the Hindus in Indian.

Those not initiated in the mysteries just followed the priests in their worship without really knowing what they were worshipping. The priests told them to worship bulls and cows because they were very beneficial animals for humanity. Over the centuries even the priests forgot what they were actually worshipping when worshipping bulls, cows and trees. But they continued to follow those traditions and even today cows, trees and other objects are being worshipped in various religions.

It seems at this time Satan and the demons for the first time understood the very first prophecy given in the Bible in Genesis 3:15 (NKJV): “And I [God] will put enmity between you [Satan] and the woman, and between your seed and her seed, it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” 

This is a prophecy of the woman’s Seed coming to earth to redeem mankind from death, making eternal life possible. That promised Seed was Jesus Christ. Satan bruising his heel was understood to mean that Satan would cause Him to be put to death. But He would bruise Satan’s head by defeating him and ending his rule on earth.

It seems Satan then immediately began developing a counterfeit religion through Semiramis centered around this prophecy. Nimrod was already considered a savior of mankind for having saved humans from wild animals. Now Semiramis deified him as the promised Seed of the woman sent to save mankind. She claimed he had been killed to save mankind. She then deified herself as the Mother of the Savior and began to be worshipped. That is how worship of the Madonna and Child originated with Semiramis soon after the Flood. It did not originate with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Bible nowhere tells us that Mary is to be worshipped in any way. Worship of the Madonna and Child in mainstream Christianity is an ancient tradition going back above 2000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, foisted on Christianity by the great false Roman Catholic Church based in Rome.

All the false worship traditions, customs and festivals such as Christmas and Easter of modern Christianity are nowhere required in the Bible. Our modern word Easter comes from the name “Ishtar” which was the Assyrian name of Semiramis. Worship of the Trinity, the cross, hot cross buns of Easter, colored eggs and rabbits, the tree of Christmas, worship of the bull, calf and cow, worship of the Sun god on Sunday, worship of relics, start of the new year in the dead of winter, all originated with Semiramis soon after the Flood and have been foisted on a gullible Christianity by the false Church. Worship of idols had originated before the Flood and remained an important part of the religion originated by Semiramis.

Diodorus (ibid.) then described what Semiramis did later with the pieces of Nimrod’s body:

“After his [Osiris, Nimrod’s Egyptian name] death, Isis [Egyptian name for Semiramis] and Mercury [Asshur’s Egyptian name] celebrated his funeral with sacrifices and other divine honors, as to one of the gods, and instituted many sacred rites and mystical ceremonies, in memory of the mighty works wrought by this hero, now deified. Anciently the Egyptian priests kept the manner of the death of Osiris [that he was slain and his body cut into pieces and sent to different areas of human population at that time] secret in their own registers among themselves; but in after-times it fell out, that some that could not hold, blurted it out, and so it came abroad…

“She [Semiramis] found all the pieces of his body, save his privy members; and having a desire to conceal her husband's [Nimrod was her son and later husband] burial, yet to have him honored as a god by all the Egyptians, she thus contrived it. She closed all the pieces together, cementing them with wax and aromatic spices, and so brought it to the shape of a man of the bigness of Osiris; then she sent for the priests to her, one by one, and swore them all that they should not discover what she should then entrust them with. Then she told them privately, that they only should have the burial of the king's body; and recounting the many good works he had done, charged them to bury the body in a proper place among themselves, and to pay unto him all divine honor, as to a god. That they should dedicate to him one of the beasts [a bull] bred among them, which of them they pleased, and that while it was alive, they should pay it the same veneration as they did before to Osiris himself; and when it was dead, that they should worship it with the same adoration and worship given to Osiris…[Those are the origins of bull worship].

“But being willing to encourage the priests to these divine offices by profit and advantage, she gave them the third part of the country for the maintenance of the service of the gods and their attendance at altars.  

“In memory, therefore, of Osiris's good deeds, being incited thereunto by the commands of the queen, and in expectation of their own profit and advantage, the priests exactly performed everything that Isis enjoined them; and therefore, every order of the priests at this day [Brahmins know Nimrod as Krishna] are of opinion that Osiris is buried among them [this is the explanation why Krishna is supposed to have lived in India]. And they have those beasts in great veneration, that were so long since thus consecrated; and renew their mournings for Osiris over the graves of those beasts. There are two sacred bulls especially, the one called Apis, and the other Mnevis, that are consecrated to Osiris and reputed as gods generally by all the Egyptians. For this creature of all others was extraordinarily serviceable to the first inventors of husbandry, both as to the sowing of corn, and other advantages concerning tillage, of which all reaped the benefit…” 

That’s how the priests palmed off bull worship to the people. The Brahmins in India took the concept even further, leading Indians to worship elephants and cobras (because they keep their fields clear of rats).

Diodorus continues:

“…his [Nimrod’s] privy-members (they say) were thrown into the river by Typhon [one of the Egyptian princes who helped Shem execute Nimrod], because none of his partners would receive them; and yet they were divinely honored by Isis; for she commanded an image of this very part to be set up in the temples, and to be religiously adored; and in all their ceremonies and sacrifices to this god, she ordered that part to be held in divine veneration and honor…The Grecians, after they had learnt the rites and ceremonies…from the Egyptians…adored that member by the name of Phallus.”

That is the origin of Phallus worship, the Shiv Linga of the Hindus. Satan can truly induce gullible human beings to do perverse things in the name of religion.

Several things can be noted about what the priests were willing to do. They were willing to keep secret the way Nimrod died and maintain lies instead at the urging of Semiramis. In doing so they perverted true history. They gave up the true religion and were willing to wholeheartedly propagate the completely false religion concocted by Cush, Nimrod and Semiramis. They were willing to worship and honor bulls knowing that in doing so they were actually worshipping Nimrod. But they concocted lies and false reasoning to tell the people that bulls, calves and cows were being worshipped as gods because of their usefulness to mankind. They also concocted reasons to justify phallus worship (or Shiv Linga by the Brahmins). In fact, the Brahmins of India have developed elaborate rituals, symbols and ceremonies in the religion centered around the worship of the Shiv Linga and temples dedicated to it. Since the priests migrated to different areas with the populations for which they performed priestly duties, they concocted tales about Nimrod, worshipped under different names, as having lived and died in their land as the Hindus claim about Krishna. 

The priests were very creative in propagating Semiramis’ religion and counter any opposition to it. It was easy for them to do so in Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Persia and among Indians because they were already under the influence of Nimrod and Semiramis. In Europe, however, Noah lived many decades and Shem was also active. It required creativity to counter the teachings of Noah. 

After Noah’s death, the priests deified Noah and began worshipping him as the god Janus and Vertumnus. Salverte in his “History of the Names of Men, Nations and Places” (written in French by Eusebius Salverte and translated into English by L.H. Mordacque, Vol. II, London, 1862) writes on P. 355:

“Had a Christian writer transported Noah into Italy, he would have represented him as teaching the early people the law of the God of Genesis: A Chaldean priest makes Xisuthros [Noah] into a propagator of the worship of the gods, and ends by identifying him with the Life of the World, the God of the Universe.”

This shows that the Chaldean priests in Italy worshipped Noah as a god but pictured him propagating their own religion. Salverte implies that the European priests appropriated Noah’s name, but propagated their own religion, claiming that Noah taught those things, and that they were doing what he commanded, and were following his teachings. In their teachings, they were forsaking what Noah really taught. This parallels what the Roman Catholic Church would do later to the teachings of Jesus Christ, foisting the rituals, celebrations, festivals and symbols of the Babylonian Mystery religion to Roman Catholicism by attaching concocted Christian significance to them.

Semiramis, born about 60 years after the Flood, lived a long, active and very productive life of about 300 years, cut short in a war with her son Horus to retain the throne of Assyria. But why were she and Nimrod so successful in totally perverting religion?

Semiramis was a very beautiful woman and retained her incredible beauty even to her later years. She had a great hold over the people. That’s why she was so successful in having her lies so readily accepted by the people. Her beauty is said to have once quelled a rising rebellion among her subjects when she suddenly appeared among them (Valerius Maximus, Library ix, Chapter 3, p. 2).

There was another very important reason Semiramis was so successful in propagating her religion. After Nimrod’s death, she came and settled in Babylon for some time and continued to develop and spread her Babylonian Mystery religion from there. She became a Temple Prostitute and instituted the Temple Prostitute system in Babylon and literally committed fornication with the kings of the nations around, which included most nations still living close by, which became a means also to spread her religion. That is why myths of all peoples have so much in common because all peoples followed Semiramis’ religion.

Semiramis became a literal whore. That’s how God named her religion in Revelation 17:1-5 (NKJV), “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.” 3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

Semiramis also had supernatural (demonic) help in enhancing her credibility. Nimrod was said to have been the first who invented the magic arts. He used magic tricks (Justinius Historia, Library I, Vol ii, p. 615) to impress the people as the high priest of the Sun-fire-serpent god. No one seems to have used magic arts before the Flood.

After Nimrod’s death, Semiramis used magic tricks to impress the converts to her Babylonian Mystery system. She claimed to be able to perform acts such as levitation with the power of the gods she had concocted (she wrote the history of pre-Flood characters like Cain, Lamech and others as gods as told to her by Naamah, and later deifying Nimrod and herself). The magic tricks were, of course, performed by demons to build-up her credibility.

There is further proof that Nimrod was demon-possessed. Nimrod is listed as the second Chinese king in their ‘Canon of History.’ It states, “His eyes had double pupils, whence he was named “Double Brightness” [meaning his eyes shown with double brightness.] He had a large mouth...and a black body.” That is describing a demon-possessed black man, not a Chinese person. He is also described as a foreigner.

The Egyptian name for Nimrod was Osiris. Diodorus in his ‘Historical Library’ on p. 19 says: “Osiris in the Greek language signifies a thing with many eyes…viewing and surveying the whole land and sea. Osiris is also called Dionysius [another name attributed to Nimrod by Semiramis to give credit for the deeds of a pre-Flood Dionysius in the process of deifying Nimrod] and is described as “Dionysius darts his fiery eyes.” Again, this describes a demon possessed man.

Only a demon-possessed man and woman, Nimrod and Semiramis could have initiated human and infant sacrifices in their worship system. And only a demon-possessed man like Nimrod could make the boasts that Krishna makes in the Gita.

That is why Semiramis and Nimrod were so successful in fabricating a completely different religion than the one taught and practiced by Noah, have it accepted by the priests and propagated among the people because of huge financial rewards. 

After her death, the priests, the descendants of Arphaxad, then took up the task of propagating the religion among whichever people they settled. Over four millennia the practices among various peoples have diverged because the priests continued to innovate as the need arose to keep their hold over the people and add practices and rituals as the times demanded to counter the thrusts of other religions or add explanations for great questions that might have arisen over time. But the origins of all paganism are the same: in the false Sun-Fire-Serpent god Cush, Nimrod, Semiramis and Asshur set-up and the worship system built around it, and then Semiramis and Nimrod being deified along with others such as Cush and Asshur, and deified pre-Flood characters such as Cain, Lamech and Naamah being added to the pantheon of gods. The Brahmins did that among Indians. The priests kept the records and penned scriptures, couching them in “wise” moral teachings to be acceptable and convincing to the lay people.  

When Brahmins of India defend Hinduism, they usually cite moral teachings as examples of what is good or great about their religion. But knowledge produced by humans can be good or evil, or a combination. God foretold this when Adam and Eve rebelled against Him in the Garden of Eden by eating of the fruit of the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” He removed them from the Garden to develop their own civilization. That knowledge was symbolized by the tree being of the knowledge of good mixed with evil. That’s why Hinduism and every pagan religion will have some good moral teachings in it which can benefit society. But all paganism is mixed with evil as well. And paganism and its non-existent gods cannot offer salvation. Only the true God can offer salvation to human beings in the form of eternal life.  

Thus, we have seen that all the priests in early human history till about 400 years after the Flood were descendants of Arphaxad the third son of Shem, were taught astronomy, mathematics, all the science Noah knew and their priestly duties by Noah. But for profit and the massive financial incentives offered by Nimrod and Semiramis, they forsook the true religion as preached by Noah, wholeheartedly adopted the totally false pagan religion concocted by Cush, Nimrod, Semiramis and Asshur and enthusiastically propagated it to all of humanity.

Therefore, there is nothing holy about a Brahmin in India or true about his religion. That religion, Hinduism, is the very antithesis of the true religion, worships false made-up gods that don’t exist, in rituals, practices and festivals that are an abomination to the only true Creator God. The religion was conceived and born in rebellion against the true God, defended with more cunningly crafted lies as the need arose, or with force and murder when necessary.
