An Ancient Account of Bigfoot

It is generally thought that bigfoot is a recent addition to our mythology. Indeed the word ‘Bigfoot’ was first coined as late as 1958, however in actual fact the idea of hairy Hominoids goes back long before then. And the reports are not limited to North America.The earliest wildman to appear in literature can be found in the Epic of Gilgamesh. The stories which are about 4000 years old were written on 12 clay tablets and were discovered in the Assurbanipal Library in the ruins of Ninevah.

There is no evidence at all that the Epic of Gilgamesh was based on reality, but some do speculate that the stories were written around an actual king of the same name who lived in southern Babylonia, modern day Iraq. According to the story, Arura the Potter created the Wildman Enkudu from clay. He was shaggy with ‘hair that sprouted like grain’, and who ate with the gazelles and drank with the wild beasts at their waterholes.

In 500 BC, the Historian Herodutus spoke about Hairy Monsters in Libya and in the Greek and Roman tradition; there are stories of half man, half beast creatures known as Satyrs.

In Medieval Europe, according to Myra Shackley, “Medieval wildmen were generally hairy, with both human and animal traits. Often they were covered with hair except for the face, feet and hands”.2 But unlike the satyrs of the Greek Roman imaginations, the tail and horns are absent.

The first written account of the North American ‘Wildman’ occurred in 986 AD when Leif Erikson and his men landed in the new world. (Several centuries before Christopher Columbus, i might add). In Samuel Eliot Morisons account of the Norse voyages, Erikson mentions creatures which were “horribly ugly, hairy, swarthy and with big black eyes”.

Peter Byrne in his book, The search for Bigfoot - Monster,Myth or Man? However, concedes that “It is more probable that the creatures they encountered were simply Indians”.5 Byrne argues that the Norse word ‘Skellring’ which was used to describe these creatures/people, in actual fact means ‘Barbarian’, which may well have been used to describe the local Indians, but he is puzzled by the Skellring being hairy (Italics my own). “The Norse were a hairy people themselves, big men with matted hair and beards. Why did they remark on the ‘Skellring’ being hairy?”

However, the legend of Bigfoot existed long before the white man arrived in the New World. The Coastal Indians tribes of British Columbia and in Particular the Kwakliutls, had carved totem poles and face masks which clearly had references to a ‘manbeast’. Indeed, the face masks were carved in to an image of a ferocious looking creature known as Bukwas, or the wild man of the woods. In examining the Bukwas face masks, Don Hunter, a Highly respected Canadian Journalist says that “Each of the Carvings, in its stylised way, suggests a creature that is considerably more human in appearance than it is animal,".

The Kwakliutis were not the only Native American Tribes to have legends involving ‘hairy’ wildmen. The Hoopa indians of Northern California tell stories of what they call ‘Omah’ - the boss of the woods. According to Hoopa legend, he lives out in the mountains and never comes down to the valleys. To be referred to as the ‘boss’ of the woods, the creature must be pretty domineering. The Shalish tribes of British Columbia referred to Bigfoot as ‘Sasquatch’ meaning ‘wildman of the woods’ and there are legends of the ‘stick men’ of the Washington mountains. Indeed, with minor variations in behavior and appearance, the creature under its many names plays a major role in western Indian lore from Northern B.C. to California, and a somewhat lesser though similar role in native culture across the continent

Early settler David Thompson, kept a daily Journal, and when he crossed the Rockies near the present site of Jasper, Alberta, in the winter of 1811 he came across what nowadays would perhaps be called Bigfoot footprints. He writes:

“Continuing our journey in the afternoon we came on the track of a large animal, the snow about six inches deep on the ice; I measured it; four large toes of four inches in length to each a short claw; the ball of the foot sunk three inches lower than the toes, the hinder part of the foot did not mark well, the length fourteen inches, by eight inches in breadth, walking from north to south, and having passed about six hours. We were in no humour to follow him.... its great size was not that of a bear.”

Another explorer, Paul Kane, also appears to make the point that the Native Indians appear to be frightened of a race of beings. His entry for March 27, 1847, reads:

“When we arrived at the mouth of the Kattlepoutal River, twenty-six miles from Vancouver (Washington), i stopped to make a sketch of the volcano,Mt. St.Helens, distant i suppose, about thirty or forty miles. This mountains has never been visited by either whites or Indians; the latter assert that it is inhabited by a race of beings of a different species, who are cannibals, and who they hold in great dread ... these superstitions are taken from a man they say went in to the mountains with another, and escaped the fate of his companion, who was eaten by the “skookums”, or “evil genii.” I offered a considerable bribe to any Indian who would accompany me in its exploration but could not find one hardy enough to venture there.”

In the late 1890s near the Chetco River in southern Oregon, a dozen loggers and their families encountered a great beast with disastrous results. Camping in tents by the river, the lumber men would awaken each morning to find their freshly cut timber, logs which required three men to move, carelessly scattered about like matchsticks. Huge human footprints left in the damp earth were the only clues. Since they had been having trouble with bears, the men followed the footprints through the torn shrubbery and uprooted saplings until they disappeared.

That night, the loggers were awakened by shrill screams of something not quite human in the near underbrush. Seizing a rifle, one man lit a torch and headed into the darkness. He was quickly followed by several other men. In a very short time, the first man rushed back to collapse in terror at the feet of his tracking companions. He babbled incoherently about a hairy monster eight feet tall with yellow eyes, fangs, and hands like a man. His description put the camp in an uproar.

The next night, two men decided to track and kill the hairy intruder. They carried a small lantern and loaded rifles and disappeared into the darkness behind the tents. Back in camp, their friends heard screams and shrieks and the sounds of gunfire. Then...silence.

When the two men did not reappear, the other loggers grabbed lanterns and torches and, while firing their guns into the air, set out in search of their comrades. A half mile from camp, they found the scene of a desperate struggle. Broken and bleeding, arms and legs ripped from the torsos, their two friends lay scattered all over the place. They had been slammed against trees and torn into pieces by something with incredible strength. Blood dripped into small pools from branches high in the trees, as well as from the crushed greenery of the surrounding shrubs. But of the hairy creature responsible, there were only bloody footprints leading deep into the woods.

The loggers struck camp and left the area the next day. Professional hunters entered the forest in the days that followed, but found no sign of the creature.

Jacko:

Skeptics, no doubt will not be satisfied untill they have a body. However, this was almost the case in 1884, when near the city of Yale, British Columbia, a strange creature was captured that some called a young Bigfoot. Jacko, as it became known was something of a Gorilla type Standing at 4ft 7inches tall and weighing 127 pounds.While being transported jacko mysteriously disappeared and was never heard of again.

Monkey Men:

According to the Victorian Colonist, In 1901, Mark King, one of the best timber cruisers (men who search out good, accessible stands of timber for the logging companies) in the province and who was known as a fine man with an ‘enviable reputation for reliability’. Was working alone on Vancouver island as his Indian packers refused to accompany him, fearing what called the “monkey men”. It was late afternoon when King sighted the “man beast”. It was bending over a pool washing some roots. On seeing or hearing King, it gave a startled cry and ran swiftly up the hillside. King described the creature as: “covered with reddish brown hair, and his arms were peculiarly long and were used freely in climbing and in brush running; while the trail showed a distinct human foot, but with phenomenally long and spreading toes.”

A dramatic event was was reported in 1907 when the captain of the steamship Capilano, sailing up the B.C. Coast, suddenly found himself being hailed by a canoe load of Indians, frantic to get away from their small community of Bishops Cove.

They had been scared away by a “monkey like wild man who appears on the beach at night, who howls in an unearthly fashion between intervals of exertion at clam digging”. It seems a rather funny image, that of a frightening beast, howling as it digs for clams. Nevertheless the Indians did desert their village.

1924 saw two of the most famous bigfoot encounters. The first involved the astonishing story of Albert Ostman, who claimed he was kidnapped by a sasquatch and held captive for a week. This story would no doubt have been ignored as the fanciful whims of a crazy man, but everyone who has met Ostman are impressed by his sincerity and his descriptions of the sasquatch ( in an age when there was no widespread information available ) have been confirmed by subsequent sightings.

Ape Canyon Incident: The second case is far more violent and involves the story of 4 miners attacked in their log cabin by several rock throwing ape like creatures, In an area of Washington state called Ape Canyon. Once again, their story checks out and witnesses who saw the men after their ordeal where absolutely certain that they were in such an emotional state that something pretty scary must have happened to them. One must bear in mind that these were tough, rugged, seasoned miners who were not disposed to show any emotions. Particularly that of fear.

May 1950 saw the disappearance of experienced mountaineer and expert skier Jim Carter, in Ape Canyon. He was part of a 20 strong climbing party from Seattle and search parties combed the area for weeks and found nothing. His tracks in the snow showed that he was running at great speed as if to evade capture and had even jumped over great crevices. Several members of the party did comment that they felt that they were being watched by something or somebody and could feel the hair on the back of their necks stand up. As to what happened to him, two members of the climbing party, Bob Lee a well known mountaineer and the 1961 Himalayan expedition leader and Dr. Otto, the surgeon for the Seattle mountain rescue council, concluded that “ The Apes got him”.

Another significant sighting in the annals of Bigfoot lore occurred in 1955, when William Roe sighted a female Bigfoot near the town of Tete Jaune Cache, British Colombia. This case is significant because of the level of detail that the witness is able to remember about the creature. William Roe was so confident in the truthfulness of his story that he even signed a sworn avidavit in front of a commissioner for oaths. However, it wasn’t untill the remote Bluff Creek area of Northern California was opened up for logging in 1958, that Bigfoot really entered the mainstream culture.

The loggers would turn up on site each morning and discover that the equipment had been disturbed and indeed 50 gallon fuel drums tossed around as if empty. About twenty miles of road had been built when the big tracks started to appear. They were were made at night, at intervals of about a week. Their basic route was across the road to get from the hillside to the creek bed, but sometimes they went for a short distance along the road and even circled the park machines...The tracks were all made by the same individual, and were roughly 16 inches long and eight inches wide.12 These footprints impressed almost an inch in to the ground whereas the loggers boots barely made an impression on the surface. Logging Foreman Jerry Crew said “I’ve seen hundreds of these footprints in the past few weeks...Every morning we find his footprints in the fresh earth we’ve moved the day before.”

Bigfoot in the 1970’s was hijacked by the media and soon became a minor television and film star. He even fought the six million dollar man and was used in countless TV Commercials. Unfortunately, this also brought with it the usual crankpots, their stories in the tabloid press further reinforced the belief amongst most people that the Bigfoot mystery was just a silly Hoax. ‘I was raped by the abominable snowman’ was typical of many headlines. And with the fame, came the Hoaxers who no doubt muddied the waters as far as serious researchers were concerned

But what about the ORIGINS of bigfoot? Where did it all begin? Since we can not travel back in time to hear the oral traditions, we must rely on what has been written. Many would be surprised to know that Bigfoot, or as he was called, Enkidu/Inkidu, is found in some of the oldest ancient texts ever discovered!

According to alternative historians, the Apkallus combined a portion of fallen Earth Elohim (Igigi, Draco seed) genes with the DNA of Neanderthal man, resulting in the hybrid creation of a giant being whom the Epic of Gilgames calls Inkidu (Enkidu). The Apkallus, whom alternative historians view as ancient aliens, formed this creature and placed him in the wilderness or rather forest of Babylon some 5,000 years ago.

According to the Sumerian tale of Gilgamesh, Inkidu is a vegetarian and a protector of forest animals, as well a wild man of great strength. Inkidu is also described as being covered in fur or shaggy hair from head to foot.

Epic Of Gilgames Tablet I In the wildness she created valiant Enkidu, born of Silence, endowed with strength by Ninurta. His whole body was shaggy with hair, he had a full head of hair like a woman, his locks billowed in profusion like Ashnan. He knew neither people nor settled living, but wore a garment like Sumukan. He ate grasses with the gazelles, and jostled at the watering hole with the animals; as with animals, his thirst was slaked with water.

“We are told in our current Canon that it was just the fallen angels who mated with women. But in other historical literature we find out that it was much more than women that they were messing with. This is why God wiped out everything, man, and beast with the flood, they had all been corrupted.” – Christian Paranormal Answers

Book Of Jasher 1:18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of the animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.

Here the non canon Book of Jasher echoes both the story of King Gilgames, who also took wives from their husbands for sexual intercourse, and the origin of the Nephilim giants via the fallen Earth Elohim (magistrates). This account of Jasher also confirms that in the ancient past various animals or beasts were being cross-bred across species, such it seems is also the case with the creature Inkidu.

“Enkidu was after all a product of the gods (fallen angels). The bible does describe two different kinds of beasts in the scriptures; wild beasts and evil beasts. God says “the wild beasts of the field are mine.” Psalm 50:11, KJV The distinction in the Hebrew is: H2123 zees, an abundant moving creature , which means regular animals. Also in scripture we see the term evil beast. “And I will rid evil beasts out the land.” Leviticus 26:6, KJV” – Christian Paranormal Answers

Several groups of new age mystics as well as UFO conspiracy groups claim that Inkidu (Enkidu) created a line of Sasquatch beings which they call ‘The Shaggies’. A few of these groups also identify Inkidu as a ‘dual being’, which is to say he consists of both physical matter (flesh) as well as a spirit (unclean spirit). Some of these concepts are based on the conspiracy theories of Dwight York, a black supremacist and cult leader of the Egipt Nuwaubians Movement.

“They [Sumerians] spoke of conflicts between the Anunnaki about the mining, which led to the breeding or cloning from these evoluted beings on earth with the Shaggies also known as Enkiduites who were beings covered in fur from other galaxies (your “Big Foot”)”

“Enkidu belonged to a group of hairy beings who were descendants of Hindu Avatars that incarnated on Ta ” Earth ” from the Planet Nirvana from the 6th star constellation Septum , Septet , ” Sirius ” , which the Greek call Sothis , The Enkiduites , as they were known , were Shaggy people or the Shaggies , Serian who are ” Dog People ” from the Dog Star Sirius .”

“Canaanites Later Mated With Shaggies, And Were Human Beasts From Enkidu, Also Called Behometh, Beast Of The Field.” –Dr. M.Z York (Dwight York)

Parallel Commentaries On The Inkidu As Bigfoot Claims:

“Encounters with hairy hominids or “wild men” like the Yeti, Sasquatch, and Nguoi Rung go back to antiquity and appear in legends throughout the world. One of the earliest literary compositions in the world, the Epic of Gilgamesh, contains a hairy wildman named Enkidu. North America’s representative is usually called the Sasquatch, one of its Native American names, or Bigfoot.” – Pib Burns

“The earliest wildman to appear in literature can be found in the Epic of Gilgamesh. The stories which are about 4000 years old were written on 12 clay tablets and were discovered in the Assurbanipal Library in the ruins of Ninevah.” – Bigfoot Lives

“Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman says the legend of Bigfoot dates back 5000 years to ancient Mesopotamia — now modern Iraq — and a hairy creature named Enkidu.” – Cyptozoologist Articles

“Mesopotamia was also the home of something else that you won’t hear about on the Discovery Channel. It was here that the legend of Bigfoot actually began almost 5000 years ago. Back then it wasn’t called Bigfoot. It was called Enkidu and this creature played a huge role in the Epic of King Gilgamesh.” – 8bm {Mature Content Site}

If Bigfoot (Yeren, Yeti) is the unclean spirit of Inkidu, as some groups appear to suggest, then this may help explain why this giant creature is so elusive to us and also why no skeletal remains of the Sasquatch have ever been found. Consider then that Inkidu may be a wandering dual being, such as the Princes of the Air (Igigi, ‘The Grays’). It should be noted that this would mean that Bigfoot is both visible in the physical realm, and dwelling in the netherworld (Hades), or realm of unclean spirits (Apsu).

This concept may also shed light on why eye witnesses of Bigfoot claim to smell a hideous oder before viewing the creature. Now in Christendom unclean spirits are capable of wandering the Earth, and are also said to maintain a foul stench or oder. Some satanic groups claim that spirit beings such as the Igigi, whom alternative historians call ancient aliens, have appeared before them with a strong stench.

Below is a typical description of unlcean spirits. Compare these descriptions of unclean spirits with that of countless Bigfoot sightings.

When it is a demonic haunting you typically notice a revolting stench similar to rotted flesh or sulfuric acid. They often let loose a growl that sounds like it is coming from everywhere at once.” “These creatures are very strong, unlike human spirits, and they don’t mind showing it. There have been cases where people have been thrown through the air and even attacked.” – Unclean Spirit :Appalachian Paranormal Center

”Sometimes we can identify a rotten-egg odor or other noxious smell. If there is no logical, natural explanation for the unpleasant odor, it may be an indicator that an unclean spirit is present.” – James W. Goll

After the death and resurrection of Christ, Jesus appeared before his disciples in a physical form on at least four occasions prior to vanishing in their midst.

Acts 1:3 KJV “After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.”

After his resurrection Jesus first appears to Mary of Magdala, whom it is said upon her recognition of the risen Christ attempts to hug him, at which point Jesus restrains her impulsive act by stating: John 20:17 “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father,”

In another episode Christ walks through a closed-door and appears to his disciples. Yet Jesus also makes it abundantly clear to his disciples that he is of physical flesh and bone (and not a ghost) when he allows doubting Thomas to place his hand in his side and through the holes of his hands (or possibly wrists).

“I Saw It. Then It Vanished…Like A Ghost.” – Bigfoot Witness

“Is it possible that the more fantastic accounts of Bigfoot that include such supernatural claims as vanishing into thin air may be worth a second look? It’s a fringe theory circulating on a topic already at the edge of cultural consensus reality, but looking at the accounts of Bigfoot and comparing them to others, like ghosts – you can start to see the similarities.” – Chris Capps

“I do not know what to say about the matlox (Sasquatch), inhabitant of the mountainous districts, of whom all have an unbelievable fear. They imagine his body as very monstrous, all covered with stiff black bristle; a head similar to a human one but with much greater, sharper and stronger fangs than those of the bear; extremely long arms; and toes and fingers armed with long curved claws. His shouts alone (they say) force those who hear them to the ground, and any unfortunate body he slaps is broken in to a thousand pieces.” – Jose Mariano Mozino (1792)

“But what if the creature reported as Bigfoot was the ghost of an ancient common ancestor of humanity, preserved by means unknown to walk the Earth forever? What if somehow the hominid normally seen as a flesh and blood creature were no more substantial than a typical poltergeist or residual ghost?” – Chris Capps

So if the connection between these various concepts can be made, then are we to view the mythical Bigfoot as merely an unclean spirit or dual being, once known to the ancient world as Inkidu?

6 Points Regarding The Inkidu As Bigfoot Concept:

1.) Bigfoot Is A Literal Dual Being

2.) The Being Known As Bigfoot/Yeti Was Cloned By The Earth Elohim (Apkallus) And Placed In The Forest Of Ancient Sumer

3.) Bigfoots Genes Are A Mix Of Neanderthal And Fallen Earth Elohim DNA (Draco Seed)

4.) Bigfoot Is An Etheral Dual Being Of Both Matter And Also An Unclean Spirit

5.) The Majority Of Bigfoot/Yeren Sightings Are A Hoax

6.) Bigfoot Has More In Common With Ghosts Than Living Animals Or Humans
