BEFORE ABRAHAM...! WHERE, WHEN, HOW AND WHY JEWS FOUND MOTHER EARTH IN THEIR CULTURE/TRADITION LONG BEFORE THEY KNEW ABRAHAM AND HIS GOD... THE EAGLE PEOPLE SENT THE MESSAGE DURING PRE-HISTORY. THE EAGLE HAS LANDED By James Wm. Pandeli “The Albanian represents the living museum of the world’s culture.” Muharrem Cerabregu, foremost Albanian historian Allow this analysis of the name of the Babylon and Sumerian/Mesopotamian era (7000 B.C.) Supreme Mother-Earth Goddess ‘Ishtar’ by applying the Pelasg-Illyr-Albanian Language (oldest in Europe) and concepts as discovered by this writer based on the analysis of Hesiod’s ‘Genesis of the Gods’ (i.e. The Beginning of the World) in one of the 20th century’s greatest discoveries as presented in ‘Oh Albania, My Poor Albania’ (l980) as well as subsequent Essays by this writer. Because the descendants of other cultures have a disproportionate control here in the West over what is disseminated there is little reference to this discovery due to the self-interest that has long outweighed truth as well as the subsequent level of understandings. The Pelasg-Illyr-Albanians were the first pre-historic people to identify human spirituality through their understandings of the Mother-Earth concept. The Mother-Earth was the Mother of what later evolved into a Supreme God, the God of Abraham. That is the true chronology of the evolution of the Gods albeit recognizing that what was subsequently created in other cultures has had the staying power if not complete truth. The Pelasg- Illyr-Albanian people refer to themselves as the ‘Eagle People’, ‘Shqiptar’, in the Illyr-Albanian Language. It is my contention that this ancient people had simultaneously identified themselves as ‘Eagle People’ and the worshippers of a Mother-Earth Goddess that they created and revered. They eventually were recognized as ‘enlightened’ as their many groups migrated to other parts of the known world in the pre-historic era. There may have been this correlation (i.e. mutual relation) between the ‘Eagle People’ and an identification of the Mother-Earth concept. This creation of the Mother-Earth and name ‘Ishtar’ had as a basis both the Illyr-Albanian word identification in the name of the Goddess and the early story of the ‘Beginning of the World’ by the Greek writer Hesiod (c.700 B.C.) as deciphered in ‘Oh Albania…’. The name ‘Ishtar’ probably evolved as did the identity ‘Ishqiptarr’ the ‘Eagle People’ reflecting the mutual connection. In Pelasg- Illy-Albanian a more complete translation of ‘Ishtar’ may be ‘She (The Mother-Earth) was (‘ish’ = ‘she was’) the creation as the result of the ‘wind (Er) that had raked (Tarr) the loose soil (first stage of Ge, Gaia) until the foundation of the Earth (Ge) was formed. Hesiod referred to this event as Eros, Tartarr and Ge or Gaia in his tale of a ‘Beginning’ though the Pelasg- Illyr-Albanian interpretation was either not known or understood by the Greeks. Was this the original message of the existence of a Mother-Earth Goddess that had ‘enlightened the world? Were these identities, ‘Ishtar’ and ‘Ishqiptarr’, identifying the Goddess and the messengers? The syllable ‘qip’, in Pelasg-Illyr-Albanian represents the ‘beak’ of the Eagle. A more ‘advanced’ civilization may have accepted the identity ‘Ishtar’ to identify the Goddess but unaware of probable origins of the messengers. It might be kept in mind that while other ‘civilizations and people’ have come and gone, the Pelasg- Illyr-Albanians survived and remained over the thousands of years with a unique level of understandings, supported by an identity as preserved in the name they call themselves, the ‘Eagle People’, ‘SHQIPTAR’, the messengers of the Mother- Earth Goddess. Every era has many truths and fragments that lend themselves to a reasoning process that exposes greater truths. Too much of what passes for ‘history’ is fraudulent, though human spirituality is not while the human capacity may be suspect. Hesiod’s work is one example of the fragment of a pre-historic puzzle. The name ‘Ishtar’ may be another fragment. The Eagle has landed though few have that awareness. “The Albanians represent the living museum of the world’s culture” and the doors have been opened.
