    Oannes is a sense of the American Kukulkan(mayan), Quetzalcoatl(aztec) or Viracocha(inca) incarnation of a white bearded teacher from the sea. For the truly clever often these incarnations were repeats of the Revelation 13:11-15 order based on actual often romanticized visits. These visits were often against the will of the visitor. [check out Jeremiahs misfortune at Tahpanhes that lead to the Irish mayan kukulkan as CuCullen or the Welsh LLewellyn(pronounced Kleweklin) in his return from a captivity he was forced into...]

    This could have been an interesting site, but so little of it seems completed and it doesn't seem to tie together in any coherent way. Oh well, nice attempt.

    Open-minded doesn't mean gullible and uncritical.

    Great stumble..Recommended for those, like me, who are students of proto-history. From the page: "Oannes, according to Sumerian history, introduced written language in the Mesopotamian Valley over 5,000 years ago. Many assume Oannes was merely a myth or legend of the Sumerians, other believe that he visited Earth from an extraterrestrial source, even others believe that he originated in a place like the mythical Atlantis. It is my opinion that, in order to further the goals of this site, Oannes best be considered as a traveler from a pre-existing civilization somewhere on Earth."

    Introduction The history of written language began almost 6,000 years ago in the small villages of Mesopotamia. This first written language was called Cuneiform, depicted in the clay tablet above. According to Sumerian history, legend and myth, a man named Oannes introduced this development in the Mesopotamian Valley over 5,000 years ago. Many assume this character was merely a myth or legend of the Sumerians, other believe that he visited Earth from an extraterrestrial source, even others believe that he originated in the mythical Atlantis. It is my opinion that, in order to further the goals of this site, this man best be considered as a traveler from a pre- existing civilization somewhere on Earth.
