the southwest.” This geological evidence suggests the possibility that in the centuries before the rain belt moved south, there may have been a navigable river to the Red Sea.

In order to be properly identified as the Gihon River, Genesis tells us it would have to “wind through the whole land of Cush” (Ethiopia: see Figure 38). Cush was the son of Ham, the grandson of Noah, and the father of Nimrod. It is believed that Ham’s descendants settled in Africa, and soon afterwards, spread north, east, and west. Josephus states: “For of the four sons of Ham, time has not at all hurt the name of Cush; for the Ethiopians, over whom he reigned, are even at this day, both by themselves and by all men in Asia, called Cushites.”72 Adam’s route “out of Africa,” along the Bible’s Gihon River, helps to guide our analysis of the EMH path into the Middle East. Invading Aryan river boats that made their way across Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea appear to have retraced mankind’s path back to Egypt. The Aryans would have headed North after reaching the Red Sea near Mecca, and then headed West along the Wadis Barramiya and Hammamat until they reached the Nile (Figure 7). Drawings on the cliffs of these wadis document the event. Locating the Gihon River in this manner provides a plausible route for Hans Winkler’s late 5th millennium Aryan invaders, perhaps making his theory viable once more. Winkler’s erroneously dated swastikas would have been carved into the Egyptian wadi cliffs during a 2nd millennium Aryan migration, called the Hyksos migration.
Establishing the location of the Bible’s Gihon River (Figure 38) is further supported by the Nile’s southern path through Khartoum, in the Sudan, where a tributary called the Blue Nile proceeds to “wind through the whole land of Kush.” The prophet Isaiah spoke of a land beyond the rivers of Nubia (Isaiah 18:1), while the prophet Zephaniah speaks about invoking the LORD by name from “beyond the rivers of Kush” (Zeph. 3:10). Before the 4th century, and throughout classical antiquity, Nubia was known as Kush. In ancient Egyptian inscriptions Ethiopia is called Kesh. The Greek speaking Jews who translated the Hebrew Scriptures into the Septuagint, consistently translated the word Cush as “Ethiopia.”
During the Hyksos migration, Hebrew, Canaanite, and Aryan tribes were part of the same migration into the Levant out of the southern Caucasus Mountains (circa 2000-1700 BCE). This powerful wave had a great impact on Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Canaan, and Egypt. The Hebrews invaded Canaan (at 75 years of age, Abraham left Haran for Canaan), then Canaan invaded and came to power in Egypt (Abraham’s great-grandson Joseph became magistrate over Egypt). Also, as part of the Hyksos migrations, the Aryans invaded the Hurrians with their powerful war chariots (Figure 8) to create the Mitanni Kingdom (circa 1800-1350 BCE), which included southeastern Turkey, northern Syria, and northern Iraq.
After the fall of Mitanni to Hittite forces (ca. 1360 BCE), the Aryans of Mitanni migrated toward the Indus Valley where they gave a much needed boost to the existing Aryan Harappan culture (founded ca. 3000 BCE) that was winding down. The recent arrivals brought a new influx of knowledge and wisdom that became the foundation of Hinduism, as recorded in four “Vedic” Samhitas (Sanskrit: collection): the Rig-Veda, Sama-Veda, Yajur-Veda, and Atharva-Veda. The Vedas greatly influenced Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and in Persia, Zoroastrianism.

When considered alongside later Indo-Aryan texts, the Vedic writings are the closest in character to the oldest Aryan tradition, with frequent references to One Supreme God. Vedic monotheism can be traced back to the Sumerian goddess Inanna and her sexual “integration” with the other 6 Sumerian “gods who decree.” The 7th god, Inanna, sexually “integrates” these energies into a Divine Unity. Inanna was later known as: Isis, Ishtar, Venus, Aphrodite, etc.. Inanna’s gradual motion through the skies “unites” the astrological emanations of the Sun’s universal energy. Vedic polytheistic deities began as mortals, but their liberated soul either dwelled in Heaven, or was somewhere in transit between Heaven and Earth. The Vedas are considered Apauruseya (Sanskrit: “unauthored” implying divine origin),” and are considered mantras that were revealed to man through 22 śruti (“what is heard”). Similarly, the only text attributed to Abraham, the Sefer Yetzirah, speaks about 22 Foundation Letters. Both texts are referring to the 22 chromatic tones of the Navel of Order (see Figure 25): an ascending 11-tone scale (Heavenly Fires) and a descending 11-tone scale (Heavenly Waters) describing the ancient Aryan spiral “ladder” that spans Heaven and Earth (Figure 21b). Also, in both texts, the centerline of the circle (the path of Heavenly Winds) depicted in Figure 25 is the World Soul that arises from Vishnu’s Navel as a 7 tone scale. Within the microcosm, we might think of the 22 vibrations of the surrounding circle (mandala) as the torso of the body, while the “Axis Mundi” of 7 vibrations depicts the soul (Figure 47a, b & c).
Demonizing the Aryans
Before the world discredited the man who first realized the possibility of an Aryan “master race,” the effort to discredit him drew upon two ancient texts that, in the minds of many, cast the Aryans themselves in a negative light. Those two texts were the Bible and the Book of Enoch. The Book of Genesis states:
The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took for themselves, whomever they chose... It was then, and later too, that the Nephilim [Hebrew: men of renown] appeared on earth — when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty, who, from old, were men of renown. -- Genesis 6:1-4
This passage has confounded Church fathers, presumably because it speaks about multiple “sons of God” — a concept that appears to contradict the First Ecumenical Council’s edict that Christ was the only son of God. This passage does, however, make perfect sense if we consider the theory that the “sons of God” were actually the Aryan “gods on the mountain.”
In an attempt to explain the identity of the “sons of God,” an important Jewish Kabbalistic text called the Zohar, alludes to the great mysteries of the science of religion. It begins with Adam in the Heavenly garden, where God gave him a book written by Raziel, the angel in charge of the holy mysteries. The Zohar states that Adam studied it diligently, learning its sacred mysteries. But, when Adam was banished from the Garden, the book flew out of his hand, and Adam beat his breast and wept. The Zohar (55b) tells us what happened next:
God thereupon made a sign to Raphael [the archangel] to return to him the book, which he then studied for the rest of his life. Adam left it to his son Seth, who transmitted it in turn to his posterity, and so on until it came to Abraham, who learned from it how to discern the glory of his Master, as has been said. Similarly, Enoch possessed a book through which he learned to discern the divine glory.
After Adam bequeathed this birthright to his son Seth, Zohar 37b identifies the “posterity of Seth” as “the sons of God”:
It came into the hands of the ‘sons of God,’ the wise of their generation, and whoever was privileged to peruse it could learn from it supernal wisdom... Tradition further tells us that Enoch also had a book, which came from the same place as the book of generations of Adam. This is the source of the book known as ‘the book of Enoch.’ When God took him [Enoch], He showed him all supernal mysteries, and the Tree of Life in the midst of the Garden and its leaves and branches,
