Lost Knowledge sets Billy Carson beside a Sumerian retelling of the garden, drawn largely from Anton Parks and his tablet reading. Enlil is the harsh administrator who does not prize people. Enki, wisdom and trickster, does, and the tablets call him a serpent, the figure who actually meets humans. Parks says he worked from those Eden tablets and estimates the gods arrived about 300,000 years ago, shortly before modern humans. Blood or genes from a defeated opponent named Kingu are mixed with earthly material, while priestesses help Enki clone obedient workers to Enlil’s wish. Human chromosome 2, a fused primate chromosome, is offered as a scar of that work rather than a change ordinary evolution explains. Some of the new people then receive more knowledge than slavery required, grow independent, and split the gods into war. Later, Carson and Matthew LaCroix discuss their book The Epic of Humanity, a timeline from early Homo sapiens rather than from a single pair. In that talk, story layers sit beyond 100,000 years and the splice near 200,000.
Key points
- Parks’s tablet reading, as the film presents it, moves Eden off the old assumption that everything began only in lower Iraq.
- Enlil is the domineering administrator and Enki the intervening wisdom figure whom the tablets call a serpent.
- Parks estimates the gods’ arrival at about 300,000 years ago, just before Homo sapiens.
- Humans are made as a workforce from Kingu’s blood or genes, with Enki as the chief geneticist under Enlil’s orders.
- Chromosome 2 is treated as a precise primate fusion and as possible evidence of that intervention.
- Independence among the new humans splits the gods, and the later book talk places story layers past 100,000 years and the fusion near 200,000.
Short quotes
I think that some humans filter through all of this and start becoming independent
