There is a clay tablet in Oxford.
It is a list of kings.
The first king, it says, ruled for 28,000 years.
The second: 36,000 years.
The third: 43,200 years.
then,, without ceremony, halfway through the list:
"Then the flood swept over."
after the flood, the reigns become shorter. More humans until it reach to rulers we can verify in the historical record.
The Sumerian did not write this in mythology no shifts in tone no change in register one continuous administrative document treating pre flood kings and post flood kings equally real.
The flood here is the same flood in Gilgamesh. The same flood in Genesis. Recorded as historical fact in the middle of a government record.
And the kings who ruled before it —in Sumerian tradition, those were the ages when the gods walked among men.
The tablet in the Ashmolean Museum in oxford.
It is still insisting of something happened.
The great flood or the great war regardless the gods that once ruled on humanity, the gods that walked among men simply vanished or destroyed.

Rome had a prophecy books So secret reading them without permission meant death .
In the year before Rome fell someone burned its prophecy books. The Sibylline Books. Three volumes, purchased from a mysterious old woman around 550 BCE — after she burned six of the original nine rather than lower her price. Three books, for the price of nine, from a woman who knew exactly what she held.
locked in a vault beneath the Temple of Jupiter, the holiest location in Rome. Guarded by fifteen priests — the only people in the empire permitted to read them. Senators who tried without authorisation were executed.
For over five hundred years, Rome consulted these books only in moments of disaster. The fifteen priests entered alone. They emerged they prescribed rituals. They never revealed what the book said.
In 405 CE, a Roman general ordered them to be burned.
The following year, the Visigoths began their march on Rome.
In 410 CE, Rome fell for the first time in eight hundred years.
The prophecy books were burned in 405. The city fell in 410.

What they Cut what they buried what they burned we found it.

Story goes back to 1947 a young boy throws a rock in a cave he hears something shatters.

He climbs inside clay jars were everywhere sealed for thousands of years inside are leather scrolls, copies of oldest bible ever found.

Hidden among them are the Secrets that has been deliberately cut from the world

Scrolls were handed over to a small group of scholars and then silenced for 40 years.

No photo graphs, no Transactions, no access for everyone journalist turned away researchers refused a senator ignored.

Why

What was dangerous that it was locked away for 4 decades.

Among those hidden texts were writing describing a masonic figure, a theological idea that existed before Christianity ever was

Imagine a boy threw a rock something shattered something that was sealed for thousands of years something that was hidden from your eyes maybe it was truth that we never knew maybe something else maybe something far more powerful that it had not to be reached into ordinary hands.
