Andy Collins opening presentation begins. It is titled ‘FINDING EDEN Turkey The Mystery of Gobekli Tepe and the origins of the Annunaki'

GOBEKLI TEPE From Andrew Collins - ‘FINDING EDEN Gobekli Tepe'

"In 1994 a gentleman on a farm in South East Turkey was tilling the land when he came across these stones. He went to a local museum. A German archaeologist who was already working in the area, called Klaus Schmidt came along and realised something significant was there. He later said he knew if he didn't walk away he would be there for the rest of his life. He didn't walk away and he began excavations at this place and uncovered the most incredible structures in the world as far as antiquity was concerned. These immense stone pillars started appearing.

“In one 'cult building', as these structures are known, is a ring of free standing pillars, their edges radiating out from a central point, like the spokes of a wheel. Many of them are 10 to 20 tonne's. Some are 40 to 60 tonnes. There is an unfinished one in a local quarry which is larger than all of them and is certainly heading towards the 60 tonne mark.

"What we see at the stone pillars of Gobekli Tepe, is stone art that is unique to this period. The only thing that comes close to resemble this is the cave art of Europe. The diversity of the carvings is extraordinary. There are birds, humans, animals, bulls, foxes, gazelles, lizards, pigs, arachnids, insects, reptiles, snakes, lions, birds, (and) the vultures in particular. There are carved structures here. You can see the boar and tusks, the vulture above that and at the base at the bottom right there is an animal that is unidentifiable. It could be a dog or a lizard or a fabulous creature seen by shaman. You can see the carvings on this pillar. This would have taken a skill that would have taken time to develop. You don't just do this overnight. Clearly, who was behind these skills introduced them to society and they were able to practice the integration of these. There are some incredible detailed abstract symbols at Gobekli Tepe. For example there is this weird H shape, with the oval shape, in the middle. What was represented here, we have absolutely no idea. Beneath it, we have a crescent, with something that looks like a knife, it could by a sun or a star and on the right hand side, here is something from Babylonian culture, 7000 years later, it probably represents the Goddess Ishtah, the bull , a star a planet . What actually is represented at Gobekli Tepe we do not know.

Cygnus, is associated with the swan. And basically this revolved around the night sky as it lowered and came close to the horizon, the stars would hang there, before it crossed the meridian and before rising again. Because Cygnus was placed on the milky way where it splits into two to create the Cygnus rift, it is universally seen as a point of entrance and exit into the sky world.

"Cygnus was also known as the falling vulture. The vulture is a very important symbol amongst the Neolithic cults of the dead. They would put their dead out on this wooden platform just as the Zoroastrians did in much later times. Their bones would be picked clean and dried and then they would be buried, known as a second burial. Particularly the skull which is the seat of the soul would be seen as a post communication with the ancestors connected with the family. The physical world and the spiritual world coming together: (Evidence of) this comes from Catal Huyuk, one of the earliest cities in the world in Southern Turkey. It shows one of these excarnations. Catal Huyuk is clearly a descendent of these earlier sites like Gobekli Tepe.

The vulture is an important symbol in this Neolithic culture of the dead. With the birds wings and feathers being used by the shamans who would believe that in some kind of other worldly site they would enter into the sky world perhaps bringing souls and taking them back into the world with other worldly information . Evidence of these vulture cloaks have been discovered in this region dated exactly to this time frame. The Cygnus connection goes on. It is universally accepted as the entry and exit into the sky world. Just to the North of Turkey in Armenia, there is a stone circle there in a place called ‘Karahundj.' It is thought to date to 5500 BC, slightly younger than Gobekli Tepe. There is a stone that looks directly at the North meridian, at the brightest star in Cygnus, Deneb that passed there at the timeframe. Russian colleagues have said Cygnus is associated with a very ancient swan mother called ‘swa' which is venerated in the North caucuses and whose influence spread right into Russia and possibly Eastern parts of Europe. Quite clearly her symbol was that of the swan. Cygnus is generally seen as a swan, it is about whatever bird is indigenous to that area. This is very closely associated to the idea that the Milky Way is a goddess in her own right .

"What else was going on at Gobekli Tepe? Beer brewing. The oldest evidence of brewing beer dates back to there. It has been speculated that the creation of beer was the original usage of wheat, not actually the creation of bread. The bread manufacture was a secondary thing because the beer used to quench the thirst or whatever and this in itself was behind the change in the lifestyle of the hunter gatherer to the farming lifestyle. It is a fact that 68 strains of wheat that are grown today can all be traced back to one grass that grows in a place called Karacaca Dag. Karacaca Dag is the site of an extinct volcano which is just twenty miles from Gobekli Tepe. Here is the first evidence of the domestication of grasses. This goes back to 9000 BC.

"Klaus Schmidt mentioned that Gobekli Tepe was a Stone Age zoo. It is a celebration of the power of nature, abundant. It is alive. There is energy and the natural process of death. It has created a memorial to a paradise, a declining golden age which probably ended with this comet event. There is some semblance of reality in the story of Noah's ark which is so obviously connected with a flood. This is a memory of this catastrophe in this period of time. And the story of the animals and birds being marched in two by two has something to do with the memory of the carvings as a preservation of what was, so it can be preserved forever.

COMET IMPACT : From Andrew Collins - ‘FINDING EDEN Gobekli Tepe' "Karacaca Dag is the scene of my favourite catastrophe myth which talks of the seven headed dragon, unleashed by the first tillers of the land, the first farmers, those that were involved with Gobekli Tepe. It is said that it climbed into the air in a reign of fire and it destroyed the world.

"And this brings us to the greater significance of why Gobekli Tepe was created why it was and where it was. I believe that this catastrophe myth is a memory of a comet impact at the very end of the last ice age. The greatest evidence of this is in Southern Carolina bay where there are hundreds and thousands of elliptical craters ranging in size from a few hundred metres to kilometres in length. These are all oriented North West / South East and cover the Eastern space of America from New York down to Carolina. These have now been dated to around 10900 BC thanks to the work of Dr Richard Firestone an American scientist. His work was published in a book the cycle of cosmic catastrophes' published in 2006 in which he gives incredible evidence of this event in about 10900 BC. Don't worry about specific dates yet because these could be a thousand years out.

"Other writers talk of mass firestorms that would have devastated large regions of the North American continent. The destruction of the mammoth, giant sloth's, giant camels all of them decimated during this period, some of them lingered around for a few thousand years, but certainly there numbers were reduced through this catastrophe. There is an ash layer 20cm deep that has been found all over the world from exactly this period, 12 940 years ago. This can be found as far away as Australia, Egypt, Russia and Europe. The first place it was found is Poland. That shows some kind of nuclear winter would have followed this event as the ash remained in the sky which would have dropped the climate count.

"Richard Firestone estimated 75% of North America's population would have been destroyed by this event alone. A re-advance of the ice shifts is an event called the Younger Dryas. When the ice was able to receive its own variety it took a grip instantly and lasted probably a couple of hundred years. It ended very abruptly. It was a transition as well from a very cold climate to a much warmer climate, it was extremely quick maybe a few years or a few generations. The Younger Dryas might well have resulted from airborne debris caused by the impact and subsequent firestorms blocking out sunlight, as well as the release of melt water...

"The story of goddess Hathor : SETH was said to reign down fire from the sky on the earth and nearly destroyed the human race and at the hands of the sun god Ra was fortunately stopped from completing her duty. She chased those that attempted to get away and hide in holes, underground at the orders of Ra. And there are others as well who talk about this serpent in the sky who caused a time of darkness in the sky that caused the destruction of the first inhabitants.” AC

THE WATCHERS : From Andy Collins ‘FINDING EDEN Turkey The Mystery of Gobekli Tepe and the origins of the Annunaki'

"Who built Gobekli Tepe and why? One clue is in Genesis. Klaus Schmidt himself in 2007 said that Gobekli Tepe is the garden of Eden, a very controversial statement that got him into big trouble. I believe the garden of Eden is in the area of Armenia which was a much bigger area then it is today.

"It was stated in the Bible and other ancient Christian texts, where Eden came together, the four rivers of paradise flowed from their source. It is easy to pin down two of these, the Euphrates and the Tigris, which rise in the area of Lake Van a huge inland sea. The other two are open to speculation. One is believed to be the great Zab river which is believed to be the site of the Armenian church 2000 years ago, at its inception. They all flow West in the area near Lake Van. One (is from) the Aral sea and comes in toward the West from the Caspian sea.

"The fertile crescent is South of Southeast Turkey in modern day Iraq. It is of course where the civilizations of Babylon, Sumer and Akkad arose.

"In the place of the Dogon we find the earliest evidence of pottery on the African continent dated to 9500 BC, contemporary with Gobekli Tepe. There are extremely advanced communities on the upper Nile known as the Isnan and Qadan - due to the sites where their remains were first found. They had a proto form of agriculture, some of the earliest experiences with agriculture going on and advanced settlements and a very sophisticated stone technology. This was all in the Nile from about 15000 BC to a turnaround in 11000 BC where they suddenly all disappear. And I wonder if these communities didn't move from Egypt all the way to the Euphrates?” AC

"A translation from Schmidt was that the stones (of Gobekli Tepe) were erected for the watchmen of the period. Now what the hell does that mean? It is very interesting, the book of Eden goes back to about 150 BC and much earlier sources like the Dead Sea scrolls state that Eden was the same as paradise and the same as heaven. It was the place of the watchers or angels.

“The Neolithic revolution began in the area of Gobekli Tepe. The earliest advances in technology and lifestyle we find in Gobekli Tepe. The earliest (advances in) ceramics, pottery, statues, the earliest smelting, recto-linear building, plant domestication, beer, wine, hard jewels, bile purification using blue cobalt, goat herding, animal husbandry and weaving: all of these were in the same area Eden was placed. And the watchers were said to have given the arts and sciences of heaven to humanity . The story of the watchers coming in on the North wind and is talked about in the book of Genesis. They take wives and create giant offspring known as Nephalim .

"This suggests that watchers were coming in on the local people and something bad was going on. There is more detail in the Book of Enoch . The watchers (angels) adorned in feather coats were described as bird men. This seems to suggest we are talking about shaman dressed in cloaks of feathers. They would wear these dresses so they could make their other world journeys and I believe this is what Enoch is referring to. In later Books of Enoch the cloaks of feathers are actually changed to wings by the early Christian writers, which is an interesting transition. The watchers were gods not mortals. The watchers were said to be very tall, had pale yet grubby skin, piercing eyes and long white hair. They are those that created this revolution which leads to civilization. The watchers are also described as having the reach of a viper or a serpent and one is actually described as the serpent tempting Eve in the garden of Eden.

"The text of Sumar and Akad talk about the gods as the Annunaki . They call them the builder gods . And they are thought to be behind the construction of the earliest cities. And they are said to have to come from a place called Eden. Eden means stepped terraces. This is easily a description of a mountainous region or a hidden region. Other texts talk of them coming from a place called Dilmun. The name Dilmun is still used in an area of south East Turkey. We have identified that as where Gobekli Tepe was found. A number of the Sumerian, Arkadian kings believe they were descended from a race of gods .

"I believe that race of gods was the watchers, the builders of Gobekli Tepe. It was quite clear from the description of the watchers that at least some of them are albino's. These albinos were often described as having long faces like that of vipers (or) serpents. For instance the ancient Egyptians depicted some of their kings like Akhenaten with very long faces. The watchers were the immortals of Iran, the shiny ones, the angels, the Annunaki, the albinos and the architects of Gobekli Tepe. Gobekli Tepe builders were the watchers. Annunaki had come from Nile valley, the bird shamans.

Andrew Collins presentation “Giza's cave Underworld”

"American psychic Edgar Cayce 1877 – 1945 brought the subject of the hall of records to the fore. Between 1926 and 1941 he gave a number of psychic readings which referred to what he called the hall of records. He thought this to be some kind of chamber in the vicinity of the Sphinx containing the tablets and records of a previous civilization which occupied Egypt around 10 – 11 000 BC. From 1957 on to the present day there have been a number of explorations. The first was two Americans in 1957 who went to the Giza plateau and were able to get drilling in the area (of the) sphinx temple. This began the explorations which are always have some connection with the Edgar Cayce foundation which is known as the ARE (Association of Research and Enlightenment). The latest explorations around the sphinx done in 2008 by Dr Hawass and the American archaeologist Dr Mark Nervin used angular drilling.”

"Most people concentrate on the Sphinx and its right paw , to find the hidden chamber of records.

"There are a number of ancient texts that refer to an underworld in the vicinity of Giza and the plateau, such as the building texts. There are very ancient accounts of prime-evil beings known as the prime-evil ones who existed in the primordial age. There is talk of them constructing an island and on that island the first ever temple and this lead down to an underground structure known as the underworld of the Soul. And into this, mythical beings would go, using power objects (bnnt pronounced "bennet" a word meaning "seed" or "embryo") to effect creation in the outside world .

"The Duat is both on the ground and in the air as well as the milky way. Aquarius is associated with one goddess in particular and that is NUT and it is believed her body actually represented the Duat in the air. She is reflected as the body of the milky way. The milky way was one part of the Duat in the sky. Her coat is entangled completely with that of another goddess by the name of Hathor . Hathor is said to have given birth to the sun god (Horus the elder) in the form of a cow and this cow would appear between two symbols. Note the symbols relate to what is regarded as the Cygnus rift. Cygnus right of the milky way is the womb or birth canal. In parts of the world it is known as the celestial swan. The Cygnus rift is important in religious and shamanic ideas all around the world as an entrance into the underworld .

“The ancient name of Giza is the land of Rostau. ROSTAU is the Giza Duat underworld (a subterranean realm). Rostau is guarded by SOKAR . SOKAR was an underworld falcon headed god associated particularly with the necropolis of Memphis - that which clothes Giza. Sokar can be equated with the falcon-headed god of the Northern Group of constellations, which can be identified as Cygnus.

"On a daily basis and a yearly basis the sun in ancient Egypt as it was in other parts of the world, is seen to be reborn from the Cygnus rift, the reason for this is any child being born down the birth canal would cross where it crosses the milky way and becomes a point on the horizon where both the sun and the milky way are aligned perfectly. Associated with that is Cygnus.”

CULT OF CYGNUS : From Andy Collins ‘FINDING EDEN The Mystery of Gobekli Tepe "Various Olmec sites have the cult of Cygnus. The work of a Mayan expert by the name of Marion Popenoe Hatch brought this out. She showed that La Venta which is a major Olmec site in Mexico had a connection in orientation with Cygnus. The jaguar was a very important shamanic animal to the Olmec just as it was for the Maya. ” AC

From andrewcollins.com “The symbol in Mayan texts used to represent Cygnus were as the cross bands glyph , which appears also on much earlier Olmec statues of the were- jaguar . This, signifies the starry sky.

From Mayanmajix.com “To the Maya, Jaguar's spotted skin symbolized the stars of the Milky Way Galaxy. The birthplace of First Father in the mouth of Jaguar was known to the Quiche Maya as  Xibalba Be  (shi bal ba bay) “the Road to the Underworld.” The Sun's daily journey from light to darkness represents consciousness and its transformation. The Nocturnal Sun in the guise of the Jaguar travels through the underworld revealing our subconscious fears and allowing them to be transformed.”

From saynotofear.com Andrew Collins writes: “Cygnus's location adjacent to the stars of Sagittarius and Scorpio, where the ecliptic (the path of the sun), crosses the Milky Way, makes it an important feature in the eschatological phenomenon associated with the birth of the new sun at the climax of the Maya Long Count calendar on 21 December 2012. The sun will emerge at this time at a point that aligns with the visual position of galactic centre, something which some modern researchers feel the Maya were aware of somehow. In ancient Mexican cosmology, the sun was seen as an egg that comes from a crack which opens in a cosmic mountain, and this can be equated with the Milky Way's Great Rift, the dark region caused by interstellar dust clouds where new stars are born. This begins at Cygnus and continues on down to Sagittarius and Scorpio, where it opens out to form the point of emergence of the new sun.”

"A few years ago a friend of mine by the name of Robert Kay was enamoured by the Orion correlation and decided to overlay the stars over the actual pyramids. He was extremely disappointed with what he found because obviously, the third pyramid, the star doesn't even hit the pyramid. What he felt was that if the ancient Egyptians wanted to align the pyramids so accurately to North and South then surely they would have got this right? Because of that, he decided to overlay the stars of Cygnus over the pyramid and it was accurate to the proper motion of the date of 2500bc, the date that the pyramids were supposedly constructed. Cygnus is universally seen as a bird around the world, usually a swan, a vulture, a falcon, in Egypt it is an Ibis, a goose a hawk or falcon. The three main stars of Cygnus make a better fit over the three pyramids.

"Gibel Gibli is the name of this Southern mound 300 yards South of the sphinx. I was told by a native in the area that this was the place of the beginning of the first floods. This is incredible. Simon Hobbs in his book the secret chamber made a good case for Gobekli Tepe being the place mentioned … as the splendid place of First time (zep tepi). What they believe is Gobekli Tepe was the original survey point for the Giza plateau . In other words surveyors stood up on this house and made their measurements. If you take Gobekli Tepe into the whole story some remarkable things occur. If you stand on top of the pyramids of Giza at night you will see all the stars of Cygnus set within the second pyramid. More specifically the brightest star Cygnus sat perfectly down into the apex of the second pyramid. More significantly if you continue that line from the second pyramid through Gibel Gibli you will see all the three stars of Cygnus set into the same three pyramids. Not only is this alignment vertical it is also horizontal as well.

“The other star Al Bireo, the fourth star of Cygnus falls right on Gibel Gibli Tarfaya…Tarfaya… means the "first place", or the "place of beginning", in that it existed before everything else. Gibel Gibli is the name of the Southern mound 300 yards South of the sphinx. I was told by a native in the area that this was the place of the beginning of the first floods. This is incredible.” AC

"The alignment works with those four stars but what about Deneb? This is the brightest star in Cygnus . It aligns with a mastaba. A mastaba is a for-runner to the pyramids, a very large stone tomb like structure. There are literally dozens and hundreds of mastabas on the Giza plateau. For me this was a disappointment but when I mentioned it to someone he said surely this is good? It might mark the entrance to something underground, the hall of records. I was looking for something obvious on the surface. That was the first time this idea was ingrained in my brain to look for evidence in this area of the plateau. The tomb of the birds is right at the very beginning of the Cygnus rift if the whole of Cygnus and the milky way was overlaid on the plateau. The dark rift and the cave system correspond and I don't think that is a coincidence.

"One day my colleague Nigel Simpson came around to my house in 2006 with a plan by an English engineer called John Shae Perring (1813 – 1869) done around 1840. My interest was sparked immediately with this weird crescent with a hole in it and these structures here and next to it were the words excavated tombs and bird pits, pits of bird remains. I had never come across this before. This seemed to be some kind of bird metropolis at Giza. The significant thing about this is, because Cygnus is so obviously a bird, if you have an entrance to an underworld cave certainly there would be a cult surrounding it associated with making offerings to some kind of bird god or goddess. What kind of birds were found?

“In 1817 Henry Salt entered these catacombs before coming across a chamber leading to three others of the same size. Vyse excavated the tomb in 1837 and found the tomb and subterranean galleries used to conceal bird mummies. There were remains of a number of large birds, the ibis - the form of the god Thoth, the keeper of records . This tomb still existed exactly due West of the great pyramid, about 700 yards. There were slots in the wall in the side chamber and back chamber, looking like letterboxes. Small little animals like shrews or mice or even snakes would have been offered in a mummified form to the bird deity.

"On the 3rd of March 2008 we discovered a small crack in the wall right at the back of the tomb. Peering through that for the first time we saw a massive chamber. In November 2009 Dr Hawass took a team in there and cleared the floor of the tomb of the birds and uncovered two staircases just inside the tomb that lead down into this massive underground gallery. Here were pits of bird mummies and pillars that went directly underneath the tomb we knew about plus a series of chambers and other structures. A massive complex exists at this site.

“ Lambert Dolphin worked around the second pyramid and he found two large covered chambers 21 and 33m below the second pyramid. The second pyramid is important because it is often seen as the site of the tomb of Hermes. Hermes is the name given to the Egyptian god Thoth by the Hellenic priests that came into Egypt with Alexander the great. He is the keeper of records and the keeper of truth. Traditions tell us that Hermes is buried with this ancient text known as Hermes in Sabaen – Hermetic tradition. Hermes (Thoth) and the Haunt of the emerald tablet: It was said to contain the secret of creation. The emerald tablet could be inscribed on the walls and maybe the words are painted in green or the actual stone is green.

“The 5th house of this Duat through which the sun is seen to pass is also reflected in the soul of the pharaoh as he goes into death. (He)passes through this Duat or underworld on his way to the afterlife. In the 5th house of the Duat ruled by Sokar, t here was a very strange object depicted and referred to generally as a bell. I believe it is the original Bemben stone. Katif el Hanesh – a giant snake sokar, an earth god - is guardian of the Bemben stone. In the Greek tradition the Bemben is known as the omphali, which is plural. It is the centre of growth and the centre of creation. From this point all physical matter was formed. It is the naval seed or embryo in (the) womb chamber of creation as said to be underworld. Omphalus (is) guarded by a snake. Omphalus in Indian tradition are known (as) Ligims." AC

"Sound was an ancient technology and was used in Giza in the creation of the crystal chamber or the hall of records. It is much more technologically advanced then anything we had come across : some parts of the wall being pushed in, some parts of the wall being pushed out . There were other structures underneath there including 12 ring-stone chambers which he believed were all related to sound. This underground structure was accessed by an island .

"Tomb of the birds is the haunt Khaf – el – Hanash (the cave of the snake). Khaf – el – Hanash is a giant snake that inhabited the caves. This was said to go all the way to the Oasis, 45 miles away. El Hanesh guards a treasure under the plateau. It is a giant crystal or a diamond and anybody who tries to get into this hall of records or secret chamber will be blinded and will have to go back. One day someone will come along and come before this giant crystal and he will be blinded in just one eye and they will be the one able to tell the secret and they will gain great power and be able to effect creation in the outside world . This is almost similar to the terms of what the building texts said about the eldest ones who went down into this underworld in Giza.

AKASHIC RECORDS : From Spirit Heart Sanctuary www.spiritmythos.org :

“Thoth holds the title of being the ‘Great Akashic Scribe.' He tells us that the akashic is an etheric subtle energy region arranged into bandings which are concentric shells within and around the Earth . These akashic energy bands or shells have a very high resonance with the God-Source emanating from within the human element. These energy bands are formed through the interaction of two distinct dynamics, which then form a third that becomes the final qualification for the planetary akashic records. The first two dynamics are 1) the divinity within human souls and 2) the Planetary Soul .

“The Planetary Soul is the living essence of the planet, the heart of Gaia. These two dynamics interact to form the World Soul, which the Lemurians called the Sheila. Thoth tells us that the most basic of these patterns is called the acosha, and is actually a single ‘crystal.' The acosha is in the shape of a dodecahedron .”
