The Rise

In December of 1945, in the Upper Egyptian desert, an Arab farmer and his brother left their village in search of sebakh, a soft soil which was used to fertilize crops, and while digging in the foot-hills of the mountains near the village of Nag Hammadi, they found something else.

In the hole the brothers created, they stumbled upon a sealed earthenware jar which contained thirteen books, or codices, all bound in thick leather that was thousands of years old.

The Egyptian government caught wind of the discovery and managed to buy all but one of the codices and brought them to Cairo where they were translated from their original Coptic language, and studied.

The experts looked at them and where they were found, deliberately sealed and hidden, and deduced that they’d meant to have been preserved through the ages, and were likely hidden there so they weren’t destroyed, because the information they contained showed a vastly different version of our origin and first hours, and how the first of us came to be.

The codices begin with the first man, speaking to his son, Seth, just after the death of his wife, and this is what he said:

“Listen to my words, my son. When God created me out of the earth, along with your mother, it was her who looked and saw first into the aeon from which we had come forth. And while we were there, together, we resembled angels, and it was her who first taught me all that knowledge, both of the great and eternal God, and of love.”
