The Mystery of the Androgynous Creator Deities
In this article, we will explore the mystery of androgynous creator deities. Many scholars claim that Homo sapiens were supernaturally created long ago on the lost continent of Atlantis. Alongside Homo sapiens, there existed a population of giants and small creatures. It is believed that humanity was created by androgynous creator gods who had extremely long lifespans. These deities were sometimes described as having six fingers on their hands and feet. It is also believed that Atlantis was destroyed by a massive flood approximately 12,000 years ago.
After this apocalyptic cataclysm, it is thought that the surviving gods brought civilization to Egypt, the Americas, and many other places. Consequently, Atlantis must be considered the colonizing and civilizing power of the ancient world. But what exactly does the mystery of the androgynous creator gods refer to? In Hindu mythology, the seed of our current human race were children of God who, during the time associated with the Atlantean age, evolved into semi-divine androgynous beings, self-imprisoned in physical bodies that gradually took on human appearance. In this form, they began to take wives who were fully human in appearance and beautiful to behold. This description strongly resembles the biblical story of the Nephilim who took human wives.
Church asserts that in the early days of the Atlantean age, the separation of the sexes had not yet occurred. Though outwardly male in appearance, the androgynous beings possessed both masculine and feminine nature within a single entity. By channeling creative forces, they could give birth to androgynous offspring imbued with a dual soul and a body with dual gender. In this way, sexual intercourse was unnecessary as a means of reproduction. A sexless existence points to a supernatural origin of humanity—an idea shared by many ancient cultures around the world.
The theme of miraculous birth or the notion that humans were made from clay or generated on a potter’s wheel appears in virtually all religions and mythologies worldwide. Examples can be found in Genesis, and in the mythologies of the Egyptians, Greeks, Sumerians, Incas, Chinese, and certain Native American peoples. Many creator figures, such as the Egyptian god Khnum, are depicted as androgynous. On a relief in the Temple of Erna, Khnum is shown creating human beings on a potter’s wheel. It is worth noting that the Temple of Erna was dedicated to an anonymous androgynous creator god.
Riffer, in turn, presents strong evidence that statues with two heads represent androgynous creator deities. One example is Ain Ghazal, an ancient site in Jordan dating to around 8250 BCE, where some of the world’s oldest two-headed statues were discovered several decades ago. Another intriguing detail is that some statues found at Ain Ghazal have six fingers on their hands and feet. Besserat hypothesized that the statues of Ain Ghazal represented deities and explained the polydactyly of the statues as a divine trait. Barnet also interpreted the polydactyly of the Ain Ghazal statues as a sign of supernatural entities such as the biblical Remphan—a race of giants—according to Piffer, the prototype.
The Androgynous Human Containing Both Sexes Was Represented Through the Two-Headed Figure
What is truly astonishing is that some of the oldest statues ever discovered portray a cult focused on deities who were androgynous and possessed six fingers on both hands and feet. It must be remembered that the statues of Ain Ghazal are 8,000 years older than the Bible. In Plato’s Symposium, Aristophanes demonstrates his awareness of the ancient myth of the androgynous being, according to which our original nature was entirely different from what it is today. In fact, when the androgynous entity was split into two halves, the distinct male and female sexes were created.
Plato is widely known for his detailed description of Atlantis in the dialogues of the Timaeus and Critias, yet he is less recognized for his apparent knowledge of these ancient androgynous beings. Likewise, Jon Richter in his book The Celestial God Dyaus argues that in the distant past, a global religion once existed on Earth that worshipped an androgynous deity. Richter further contends that, although it may seem incredible, people were already worshipping a singular androgynous god 20,000 years ago. Yet despite how surprising this belief may seem, Paleolithic sculptures offer explicit evidence in support of it.
Indeed, many sculptures featuring multiple heads have been found, and it is said that one of the oldest, made of ivory and mammoth tusk, discovered in Gargalion, Ukraine, contains 22 pyramids. There is no doubt that numerous androgynous deities have been identified across various cultures worldwide. It certainly cannot be a mere coincidence that all these unrelated cultures—some on isolated islands—share similar traditions surrounding ancient androgynous deities. These same cultures also reflect traditions of a lost continent, a universal flood, giants, and small creatures with six fingers on hands and feet.
Another fascinating aspect of this mystery is that many of these androgynous gods are depicted around the world carrying unusual "man bags." Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods, highlighted the possibility of technological transmission from survivors of an ancient cataclysm, noting that these bringers of art and science often carry such bags. There are many theories attempting to explain what these are, but what is known is that depictions of these items appear across a vast geographic region and are linked with androgynous and supernatural survivors of the universal flood from a sunken continent.
Who were these beings, and where did they come from?
Let’s take a look at some of these god-like entities that appeared after the Great Flood: Oannes is a Babylonian fish-man deity who is androgynous and carries the man bag. Hilprecht argued that the androgynous nature has the capacity to self-generate, and that this very quality exists in every single Sumerian god. He maintained that all the Sumerian gods are androgynous.
The legendary Cuchullain, another androgynous god, is known for his post-flood activities in South America. Often depicted as a giant with a beard, he came from a lost continent in the Atlantic and spread an advanced and unprecedented wisdom. Strangely, he was called “the foam of the sea,” just like the legendary Cuchullain in Ireland. It was said that Cuchullain had seven fingers on his hands and feet and came from an advanced civilization lost in the Atlantic. Some civilizations and extraordinarily complex stonework emerged following the arrival of these beings.
America, Sumer, and Egypt: The Arrival of the Androgynous Thoth and the Emergence of Advanced Civilizations
Following the arrival of the androgynous Thoth, some of the most incredible and sophisticated civilizations in the world appeared shortly thereafter in America, Sumer, and Egypt. Esoteric circles claim that the androgynous Thoth came from Atlantis.
Another extraordinarily specific trait linked to ancient supernatural beings is the presence of six fingers on both hands and feet. Around the globe, numerous statues, sculptures, and ancient petroglyphs depict figures with six fingers—found from the United States to remote islands in the Pacific, even in Hawaii and Easter Island. Edgar Cayce himself mentioned a being named Muzuen who had six fingers on his hands and who traveled to the Gobi Desert from the lost continent of Lemuria.
According to esoteric beliefs, having six fingers on the hands and feet was a defining feature of ancient androgynous supernatural beings and their descendants. Cayce described Muzuen as being 1.83 meters tall, with blue eyes, dark golden hair, and six fingers. For decades, many researchers have been investigating these mysteries. There is no doubt that this alternative historical view offers meaning to all the strange and mythological traditions across the world.
We conclude this article by emphasizing that modern science has erased thousands of years of fascinating stories preserved in the form of myths, legends, religious texts, oral traditions, and literature from secret societies.
