The Transformation of Ancient Texts
Paul Wallis explains that many biblical narratives were derived from older stories about non-human entities. Translators in the 6th century BCE reinterpreted these accounts of invasion and colonization into stories about gods. Key texts such as Psalm 82 and Deuteronomy 32 describe conflicts among the Elohim, a term meaning “powerful ones,” often mistranslated as “God.” These texts recount the allocation of lands and resources among the Elohim, suggesting competition and conflict.
The Anunnaki and the Book of Enoch
Wallis highlights parallels between the Book of Enoch and Sumerian stories. Both describe advanced beings visiting Earth to guide humanity. In Enoch, these beings are Watchers, while the Sumerian texts call them Igigi, observers stationed among the stars. Wallis connects these narratives to Mesopotamian accounts, suggesting a shared global memory of non-human intervention in human history.
Insights from Paul Wallis’ Research
Wallis, a former Anglican Church archdeacon with 33 years of ministry experience, shares how his background in theology led him to uncover these deeper stories in ancient texts. He discusses the process of identifying mistranslations and exploring the Mesopotamian roots of biblical stories. His research focuses on the symbols and oral traditions of ancient cultures, finding consistent narratives of contact with advanced beings across civilizations.
Ancient Symbols and Timelines
Wallis recounts his explorations in Turkey, where archaeological discoveries challenge traditional timelines of human history. Basalt carvings, which required advanced tools, were created to preserve knowledge for future generations. These symbols tell stories of human civilization being rebooted with external assistance, aligning with global ancestral narratives.
Reframing Biblical Narratives
Wallis critiques the misinterpretation of biblical stories as purely religious accounts. He emphasizes the importance of returning to the original languages—Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic—to uncover their true meanings. Biblical events often describe technological phenomena, such as rockets, drones, and wormholes, which translators with no technological context misrepresented.
The Shift to Monotheism
Paul Wallis discusses a significant historical shift during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah in the 8th century BCE. Hezekiah, influenced by his Yahwist high priest, Hilkiah, sought to consolidate religious authority by promoting Yahweh as the sole deity of his kingdom. This move aimed to unify the population under one religious belief system, strengthening centralized governance.
Measures Taken
- Temple Centralization: Hezekiah ordered the destruction of temples dedicated to other Elohim and the removal of associated priesthoods.
- Narrative Control: The Hebrew scriptures were edited to focus solely on Yahweh, demonizing other Elohim as false gods or malevolent entities.
- Political Strategy: This consolidation of religious belief ensured that the population’s loyalty was directed to the king and high priest, creating a more governable society.
Wallis connects these actions to a broader pattern of empire-building. Throughout history, similar tactics have been used by empires to stamp out local traditions, replace them with state-sanctioned beliefs, and centralize power. He references the British and Spanish empires as later examples of this approach.
Implications for Modern Understanding
Wallis argues that this historical context helps explain the Bible’s framing of Yahweh as a singular, supreme deity. The chosen people narrative, often used to justify land claims and wars, reflects the political and theological agendas of that time rather than universal truths about divinity.
This transformation marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of monotheism and the shaping of religious history.
