Sufficient historical, anthropological and archaeological evidence exists to justify the hypothesis that astronomy, mathematics, medicine and mummification, binary thought and triangulation (pyramids), metal work, cultivation techniques, the earliest priestly writings, and the earliest known trade records are found among the Proto-Saharans of the Upper Nile. Plato wrote that Nilotic scribes had been keeping astronomical records for 1000 years. He should know since he studied with a Horite priest in Memphis for 13 years.
None of the advancements I listed above can be positively identified with any one ancient figure. Instead they are connected to great rulers and their scribes, priests and metal workers. Enoch is a variant of Anak, and it is a royal title. The Anakim are identified as the "mighty men of old" in Genesis.

“He gets his temper from his daddy. He’s got my eyes. All that science stuff, oh that comes from Jesus.”
During the Protestant Renewal the Bible was viewed very literally.
“Adam was thought to have possessed a perfect knowledge of all sciences, a knowledge lost to posterity when he fell from grace and was expelled from the Garden of Eden. The goal of 17th century scientists such as Francis Bacon and his successors in the Royal Society of London was to regain the scientific knowledge of the first man. Indeed, for these individuals, the whole scientific enterprise was an integral part of a redemptive enterprise that, along with the Christian religion, was to help restore the original race to its original perfection. The biblical account of the creation thus provided these scientists with an important source of motivation, and in an age still thoroughly committed to traditional Christianity, the new science was to gain social legitimacy on account of these religious associations.”
It was this pursuit of “truth” that resulted in development of the scientific method, which stood the old “philosophy on consensus” on its head. The scientific method often starts with a single – often contrary – position. This new view is presented as a hypothesis supported by experimental data. This new position is gradually accepted by the larger community as the experiments are duplicated by others. “Truth’s” are constantly tested by alternate hypothesis.
So don’t be afraid of scientist or their pursuit of truth. They owe their very existence to the religious pursuit of truth.
Through Him all things were made!
That preaches. :)
Yes, the pursuit of truth about the Creator! The ancients believed that the ideal world takes heaven as its pattern. Christians believe this too: “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” In anthropological studies, this principle is expressed: “As in the heavens, so on Earth.” This resulted in detailed study of the sky. Later they built pyramids that aligned with the Sun rise, but even more amazing, the pyramids of Giza, Saqqara and Abusir all aligned to the same obelisk that was at Heliopolis (Biblical On).
Aren’t these your own articles, can’t you post them in their entirety?
Why post the entire article? People just need to read enough to see if it interests them.
Who said anything about giants?
The rulers, priests and scribes discussed here didn’t come down from Turkey. The movement was northeast out of the Nile Valley. All the data indicates that this happened over a long period of time, beginning as early as 20,000 years ago.
Because this is freerepublic, if you want us to read it post your article.
Did you sign up here to blog pimp and to steal readers to your blog? If not, then why not post what you want us to read?
I’ll cast my vote for Imhotep. Apparently he was later conflated by the ancient Greeks with their own divinity Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, becoming known to them as Hermes Trismegistus. “As above, so below.” Some Jews believed that Abraham himself learned his mysticism from Hermes.

Why have you excerpted your own material?
Does it promote Scientology maybe.. or porn?
Of course, God did speak it all into existence with all the rules in place - needed that before science was needed to try to figure anything out for our mortal minds.
Nothing good ever came out of a ditch in Nigeria.
So . . . is this the “good science” that shoots down the rednecks and their “silly ideas,” or the “bad science” that arrogantly dismisses the “deep mystic wisdom” of the “indigenous pipples???”[/sarc]
