There are many navels claimed, but only one of them is the true navel of the world. Which one was it?
The Ancient Greeks called it #OMPHALOS (#ὀμφᾰλός), of which there are several candidates in Greece. The most notable one was that which rested in the holy of holies in the Temple of the Pythians, the site of the Oracle at Delphi. The Pythians revered Python, an obvious Greek variation of Tiamat, the Primordial dragon queen mother of the world. A metaphor for the Ocean--an ancient cognate and predecessor of the Midgaard Serpent.
Most ancient traditions point to MUA as the navel of the world.
The #Egyptians called it #MUA. This word is at its most apparent and superficial level an Aquatic word judging from the hieroglyph representing the sound /MW/, /MŪ/.
The #Akkadians also called it #MÛ (𒀀), which is also rendered #A (𒀀). MU+A = MUA (𒀀𒀀) = "sea children", or "descended from sea".
Hebrews write of the Heavens as SHAMAYAM (שָׁמַיִם) a plural word composed of:
SHIN ( שׁ), numerical value 300
MEM (מ), numerical value 40
YODH (), numerical value 10
MEM (ם), numerical value 40, MEM in final position
The total value is 390.
The word in Hebrew for Akkad (the home of Akkadians) is: אכד
ALEPH (א), numerical value 1, 1000 (for years), infinite/undefined
KAPH (כ), numerical value 20
DALETH (ד), numerical value 4
The total value is 1024.
1024 is the binary value of 10-bits (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024), the 10th position in a binary series.
OK, okay, okay. I know. Math, right? I wouldn't go here if not for the well-known fact that all of these ancient civilizations were OBSESSED with mathematics and Astronomy. These people constructed massive megalithic buildings that are aligned to the cardinal directions and movements of the celestial bodies to within hundredths of an inch of accuracy. Advanced mathematics was a big deal to the ancients, and binary math doesn't even come close to the level of complexity of mathematics they utilized. Think about base-60 math. The ancients invented the concept of 360-degrees, which we still use to this day many thousands of years later. So, am I crazy to go down a mathematical rabbit hole like this? If we want to understand the ancients, we have to get a little obsessive about the same things they did. Math... ugh. I hated it in highschool and college, but now... it's starting to appear like a really delicious, fresh, hot-baked cherry pie a-la-mode. Let's be really real.
Ok. As I was saying...
"10" in cuneiform is: U (𒌋), also rendered #BÚR, #PŪ, and means "#hole", "#penetration", "to #penetrate", "#gift".
"10" might also relate to one of the Enochian Ten Heavens as related in the apocryphal Book of Enoch. Today only the Beta Hebrews of Ethiopia maintain its canonicity, which is written in Ge'ez. Orthodox Judaism, along with Christianity and Islam, rejecting the Apocryphal text, claim there are but Seven Heavens. However, in the Book of Enoch, which is attested as early as 300 B.C. from referenced fragments contained in the Dead Sea Scrolls and later biblical accounts, references to the text suggest that the Book of Enoch was already ancient and penned by Enoch himself who was seven generations removed from Adam. This signifies that the text was widely known in scholarly circles, as well the alternative notion that there were Ten Heavens.
Perhaps three of the Heavens were hidden intentionally. If the Hopi tradition suggests anything it is that the Americas were hidden away and entry restricted by #TAWA the Sun Spirit and guarded by Maasawu'u. America is the "Fourth World" according to their traditions, and the previous "Third World" was a blue continent. I can think of no bluer continent than the Pacific Ocean, which comprises nearly 33% of the Earth's total surface area. Surely America must have been one of these heavens, Shamayim.
According to Enoch, the Garden of Eden was in the Third Heaven, which he passed through on his way to the Tenth and Supreme Heaven, the Abode of the Most High. Curiously, this very same cosmology exists in the Polynesian idiom from Hawai'i to New Zealand, Sāmoa to Tahiti.
Hebrew for AKKAD (אכד) is listed as the 390th entry in Strong's Hebrew-English Concordance and cited as appearing only once in the scriptures, particularly in Genesis 10:10:
((בָּבֶ֔ל וְאֶ֖רֶךְ וְאַכַּ֣ד וְכַלְנֵ֑ה בְּאֶ֖רֶץ))
"...was Babel, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh..."
This entire chapter of Genesis details the story of Nimrod, the Giant, the Mighty Hunter (thought to also be known as Orion) who made war on Heaven (shamayim), striving against Yahweh in seeking revenge for humanity's sake on account of the Flood sent in the time of Noah, Nimrod's great grandfather. Rather than destroy humanity again, Yahweh through some agency, confuses the languages of those working on the "tower of Babel" causing a cessation of work.
Interestingly, in Akkadian, the word for "heaven" is SHAMEYAM, just like the Hebrew word for "heaven", whose Gematria value is "390", leading us to Strong's entry on Genesis 10:10, conspicuously labeled "#390". A complete logical circle discovered through Gematria and binary mathematics.
Coincidence, or a convoluted puzzle?
