Greetings, fellow Slime-Snake-Monkey-Mutants! on the Pharyngula blog.

Slime-Snake-Monkey Academics, Anne Baring and Jules Cashford, authors of THE MYTH OF THE GODDESS helped me understand much..... They conclude that most of the ancient goddesses (Athena, Isis, Demeter, Artemis, Asherah, Inana, Ishtar, etc.) are derived from the Sumerian Nammu. If you go to Genesis 4:22, you'll find the last person named in the line of Kain (Cain) is Naamah. If you know a bit about language, you know it's the consonants that matter, not the vowels.

I maintain that Noah's son Ham married Naamah/Nammu and brought her through the Flood. She was the source of contention and rebellion after it. As Athena, humanity gave her credit for bringing back the serpent's enlightenment; as Demeter, it gave her credit for bringing the seeds, as Artemis "Mistress of Wild Animals" it gave her credit for bringing the animals through the Flood, etc.

I as far as my academic credentials at West Point, I happened to have graduated in the very top . . . of the bottom third.
