The War Above: The War in Heaven in Babylon, Greece and Revelation
Before humans · story date: unknown ages
This series asks what history looks like if the old texts are records, not myths. Each claim rests on a quoted text. It is a reading, not an established fact.
The beings the texts call gods, sons of God, Anunnaki, and Titans are not the ultimate creator. They are a powerful older people who answer to a higher authority, meet in council, and fight among themselves.
A war breaks out in the heavens. Babylon remembers Marduk splitting Tiamat "like a flat fish" to make the sky and the earth from her body. Greece remembers the Titans losing and being locked beneath the earth. Revelation remembers a dragon who dragged down "the third part of the stars." Every version ends the same way: the losing side is thrown down to Earth and imprisoned in it.
What the texts say
He split her up like a flat fish into two halves; One half of her he stablished as a covering for heaven.
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
His tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth.
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.They were there when Earth was made.
