becuae i nerd the fuck out on information, i remembered something interesting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asherah
Asherah is identified as the queen consort of the Sumerian god Anu, and Ugaritic El,[1] the oldest deities of their respective pantheons,[2] as well as Yahweh, the god of Israel and Judah.[3]
what's voats thoughts on this diety, and whether or not she'd be a "live goddess" in the current day?
the implications of this you gotta understand, is that if true, semitic religions were definitely a polytheistic pantheon at one point and not a monethestic pantheon, which is two entirely different types of religion from the ground up

Most likely, Asherah is an angel. Today they call beings like this 'aliens', and in the past they called them 'gods' (hence the confusion about polytheism). Supposedly, they have (or at least can inhabit) physical bodies, and so they are likely 4th dimensional beings similar to us, but they probably have complete knowledge that gives them an absolute advantage over us (which is why it is so easy for them to trick us into believing they are gods). God, on the other hand, is a 5th dimensional being, is proven with math and cannot be compared to any lesser beings (not even with the angels). So, Asherah is certainly not God's consort. And monotheism is certainly the correct answer (at least in this 4-dimensional realm that we inhabit).
The king of these angels (we call him lucifer) wants to convince the entire world that he is God, and so that is probably why Asherah is identified as God's wife (actually lucifer's "wife"). Monotheism vs. pantheism is complicated because these angels are very good at convincing us land-dwellers that they really are gods, hence polytheism. Monotheism, on the other hand, is proven with mathematics and logic rather than with flying machines that scare your horses, and laser rifles that kill from afar (zeus).

IIRC, Moses' group of Israelites left Egypt, stayed hidden in the desert until they conquered the Canaanites, and had converted to monotheism during their time in the desert.
That means that the YHWH worshipers could be both polytheistic and monotheistic, depending on the sect. Those who went through the desert ordeal went monotheistic, those that stayed close to their Assyrian roots stayed polytheistic.
theoldones ago
going forward from that, which original sect then became which modern sect?

Hard to tell, because of the whole Muhammadanism overtake of the region.
Zoroastrianism had monotheistic tendencies - a single creator god. Maybe they were an offshoot. I just picked up a book about Qataban, but I'm no expert.

Bqqmets are death cultists bud, whatever factual history you dig up that conflicts with their jewish programming and narrative is automatically rejected.
Sorry man, these jewslaves can't even muster the self awareness to admit theyre the bad guys and the objectively worst generation of people that have ever existed on earth, with what record we have of history.
They'll kill your kids for their jewowner.

Sumer is a great mystery.Even after Sitchins mistranslations.

a source i read this on wasn't too reliable, but was (probably) quoting someone who was, so something i sort of know on them is:
or something like that, paraphrasing

Its our oldest origin story it seems. It is critically important to know where you are coming to be able to know the direction you are headed to. I am sure the basement in the Vatican holds enough evidence to understand it properly.

that's probably the least of the knowledge the crinkly bastards sit on.

The problem is they would rather destroy everything than let you in there.
