The Oldest Reference to Allah.By Ted Shoebat.
So what is the oldest reference to “Allah” discovered in antiquity?

Who was he and what did he represent?

The answer should shock many in the scholarly community. The oldest reference to “Allah” (before this publication), according to Kenneth J. Thomas, was discovered in Northern and Southern Arabia dating back to the fifth century B.C. [1] But new research linking “Allah” being worshipped as a deity can be found in the Epic of Atrahasis chiseled on several tablets dating to around 1700 BC [2] and was not found in Arabian records, but in Babylonian.
What should shock historians and theologians alike is that this much older reference to the literal name of a deity called “Allah” was never even linked by any of the experts on Assyriology who have written on the subject or any of the translators of the Atrahasis epic.
Even more troubling for Muslims today is that this deity was described nearly four millennia ago to be a god of “violence and revolution”.
The beginning of the Epic of Atrahasis describes Allah as how all of the gods labored endlessly in grueling work, under the rule of the patron deity Enlil or Elil. 

But soon revolt of the gods had erupted, and one deity of “violence and revolution” named Allah (spelled by the experts as Alla), as the following inscription recounts: Then Alla made his voice heard and spoke to the gods his brothers,’ Come! Let us carry Elil, the counselor of gods, the warrior, from his dwelling. Now, cry battle! Let us mix fight with battle!’ The gods listened to his speech, set fire to their tools, put aside their spades for fire, their loads for the fire-god, they flared up.[3] 

This link sheds new light since for many years we have been hearing various ideas on where Allah came from.
Christian and Muslim scholars – as well as secular professors – presented numerous arguments on just who Allah really is, not from an actual name reference but as to the attributes of this deity being similar to others in pre-Islamic times.
For example, the renowned historian W. St. Clair Tisdal had found traits of the Persian religion Zoroastrianism in Islam;[4] while many Christian writers have argued that Allah was a moon-god in Arabia and Babylon, but such an argument has been difficult to conclude, on account of the absence of a smoking gun chiseled in ancient inscriptions directly by naming Allah literally and connecting him with lunar worship. Muslim thinkers on the other hand have always argued that Abraham originally worshiped Allah purely without the corruption of idolatry or Christianity or Judaism, as the Koran states: Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah ]. And he was not of the polytheists.[5]
Perhaps the biggest problem for this argument is that there is no ancient inscription found to date in the Near East or anywhere else for that matter, which describes Allah being worshipped purely, without idolatrous connotations.

What is also amazing is that no expert on Assyriology or Sumerology had even suspected that “Alla” had a connection with the Arabian “Allah”. 

I checked the work of Thorkild Jacobsen, a foremost authority on Mesopotamian history, and while he writes on some aspects of “Alla”,[6] he makes no connection with the Arabian Allah.
I even perused the dictionary of the translator, Stephanie Dalley, to see if she could provide me with the significance behind “Alla”, but the name of the deity was entirely absent from it. I could even find a definition for the word “Earth”, and for even obscure names of other gods such as “Hurabtil”, “Kakka”, “Gerra”, and “Haharnu”, but yet not one explanation for “Alla”.[7] She makes no connection between the Babylonian “Alla” and the Arabian “Allah”, nor does she even speculate a connection.
Hmmm......I'm somewhat familiar with the Sumerian creation myths and their Gods and to me this is really exciting to read.This is real dynamite, just imagine what this could do to the 'History' of Islam.Read the full story here.

Ancient Human Metropolis from 160,000 to 200,000 BCE Found in Africa!

Ancient Human Metropolis from 160,000 to 200,000 BCE Found in Africa!(TTBTS).The image above is a close-up view of just a few hundred meters of the landscape taken from google-earth. The region is somewhat remote and the “circles” have often been encountered by local farmers who assumed they were made by some indigenous people in the past. The area is significant for one striking thing — gold. Looking at the entire metropolis, it becomes obvious that this was a well planned community, developed by a highly evolved civilization. The number of ancient gold mines suggests the reason for the community being in this location. We find roads — some extending a hundred miles — that connected the community and terraced agriculture, closely resembling those found in the Inca settlements in Peru. Looking at the entire metropolis, it becomes obvious that this was a well planned community, developed by a highly evolved civilization. The area is significant for one striking thing — gold. “The thousands of ancient gold mines discovered over the past 500 years, points to a vanished civilization that lived and dug for gold in this part of the world for thousands of years.” The number of ancient gold mines suggests the reason for the community being in this location.

These clay tablets relate an amazing story – of gods who created the heavens and the Earth, and physically descended to the Earth at the beginning of time, in order to lay the foundations of the Sumerian cities. In those days, the gods alone had occupied the great land of Sumer, but soon they grew weary of their work and set about creating mankind to release themselves from the burden of their toil. The result was the Sumerian ‘people’, known by the enigmatic title ‘the black-headed ones’.Read the full story here.
