Creator(s) of Adam

Saklas

“ Then Saklas spoke to his angels: "Let us make a human being according to form and according to image." They formed Adam and his wife Eve, who in the cloud is called Zoe.

Another angel, Saklas, also came out of that cloud.

Nebro created six angels, as well as Saklas, to be servants, and these created twelve angels in heaven, from whom each received part of heaven.

"Saklas" is a name often associated with Gnostic teachings, particularly within certain sects that describe the creation and structure of the universe in mythic terms.

In Gnostic cosmology, Saklas is sometimes identified as a creator or demiurge, a lesser god responsible for the material world.

In some Gnostic texts, Saklas is equated with the Old Testament God and is depicted as either ignorant or malevolent, or both.

The name Saklas itself is sometimes translated as "fool" or "foolish," reflecting this entity's lack of true divine wisdom and understanding, according to Gnostic belief.

These teachings are part of a broader set of beliefs in Gnosticism, which was a diverse and complex religious movement that flourished in the early centuries of Christianity and proposed a dualistic universe, where spiritual enlightenment was the path to escape the material world created by Saklas.

Then Sakla, the great angel, saw the great demon who is with him, Nebruel.

Sakla said to the great demon Nebruel, "Let the twelve aeons come into being in the [...] aeon, worlds [...]." [...] the great angel Sakla said by the will of the Autogenes,

Adam and Eve were created by the god Sakla out of the earth

Adam teaches his son Seth about his past, saying that he and Eve were created by the god Sakla out of the earth, but they were once with the eternal God and like great eternal angels.

They were divided by Sakla in wrath, causing the glory in their hearts to leave them, and they lost the first knowledge that breathed in them.

Sakla (the foolish one) is the name of the demiurge, the being that created the physical realm.

When Sakla discovers this, he curses them with death.

Sakla gives the Earth to Noah and his sons to rule over in kingly fashion.

Some people, sent from the knowledge of great eternal realms and angels, defy Sakla and live in knowledge of incorruptibility.

Noah then divides the Earth among his sons Ham, Japheth and Shem and warns them to serve Sakla in fear and slavery.

Sakla again tries to destroy the pure who know of the eternal God.

The illuminator of knowledge saves the pure for the third time, leaving Sakla disturbed and wondering where the higher power comes from.
