 Ēl
(אל) from the Northwest Semitic
language translates into English as either
'god' or 'God' or left as is (-
Not
translated) as El, depending on the
context.

States on page 35 that ;
El - The
etymological origin of the word El is
still unclear. It was the common designation
for 'god' in all Semitic languages, from the
Akkadian Ilum to the Arabic Allah. In the
Ugaritic myths El, like the Sumerian An,
represents divine authority and cosmic order.
He is the Father of all gods (except of Baal
who is the son of Dafan) and, like enlil in
Mesopotamia, the source of royal power. He is
also the 'Father of Mankind' and has
connections with human fertility and
childbirth (see Aqat and Keret). His
relationship with Baal is ambiguous,
especially as Baal myths show that there is
tension between them.
In
ancient times the Gods were mostly Gods of
Elements, such as the water, the fire, the
Wind, the earth, the mist, the hot, the moist,
Love (Amour), anger, lust, ect.
Earlier
on I spoke very short about some Semitic gods,
a picture illustrating ‘the Moon – the
King – the Sun’. The most obvious reasons
as to these stories did not live on, can only
be because we neglect them.
Semitic means ;
In linguistics
and ethnology,
Semitic (from the Biblical
"Shem",
Hebrew: שם, translated as "name",
Arabic: سام) was first used to refer to a language
family of largely Middle
Eastern origin, now called the Semitic
languages. This family includes the
ancient and modern forms of Amharic,
Arabic,
Aramaic,
Akkadian,
Ge'ez,
Hebrew,
Maltese,
Tigrinya,
among others. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic
The
Semitic speaking people date back to the
(2nd) second millennium B.C, so fare known. It
should be understood that the first King
who lead Amorite tribes into the south of Syria, was King Hammurabi, he is also the main man that
made the city of
Babylon.
The
Sumerians civilization
;
It should also be understood that these
were the days that Sumerians stopped
speaking their language.
Sumerians lived in present-day
Iraq
, back then they had two cities they called
Tigris and Euphrates. The Sumerians civilization goes back to
the (4th)
fourth millennium B.C .
 The
symbol which modern people remember the most,
and link it too is the symbol which Hitler
choose
– This does not mean that the Symbol in
itself was evil or bad.
This symbol was found on Sumerian pottery
dating from 5 thousands years B.C. In fact professors have proven it to be like the ‘ying and yang’ symbol. The Sumerians would make two of these symbols, each pointing in one end towards each other, and in the other end away from each other. It is said to mean the feminine element and the masculine element.
(the two which are made from one).
To
this I would like to add another note, This
Cross is also found on a manuscript dating
from the 800 century. This symbol was painted
on the chest of Buddha, and it Meant the
cycles of life, birth, and rebirth. The only
place this symbol is rarely seen in ancient
history among some African places, but besides
this, it is very popular among the ancient, as
a 'good' symbol. - Click

Sumer
(or Šumer) was one of the early
civilizations of the Ancient
Near East, located in the southern part of
Mesopotamia
(southeastern Iraq)
from the time of the earliest records in the
mid 4th
millennium BC until the rise of Babylonia
in the late 3rd
millennium BC. The term "Sumerian"
applies to all speakers of the Sumerian
language. Sumer together with Ancient
Egypt and the Indus
Valley Civilization is considered the
first settled society in the world to have
manifested all the features needed to qualify
fully as a "civilization".

So
the Sumerian people were indeed a much older
people than the 'Semitic civilization'.
The
Semitic civilization
;
The
name Baal has for a thousand years been
referred to as Devil like, or an evil demon.
There is a very HUMANE reason for this;
Modern version or understanding of old/ancient
texts. It starts with the wining empire
claming his religion/or belief as the most
high, and thereby the others slowly become
‘the evil’ spirits and such.
The
name Baal merely means ‘Lord’ or
‘Master’.
He is a weather god, named after a mountain
peak, by the Semitic people.
He is sometimes referred to as the ‘Rider
of the cloud’ (probably much like the
northern god Thor).

Our
Greek ancestors are the last people to have
seen our whole universe as a ‘Total’ to
the understanding of the modern word of
‘Religion/belief’.
The symbols which
empires use are almost always like the very
ancient symbols, just edited in a small way.
Now
there is no need for me to mention ALL of these
more ancient civilizations, because the only
thing I wanted to point out here was that our
history seems much older than we apparently like
to discuss. The Sumerian people, were so many
different culture together back then, that it
looked much like westerns cities today.

History (And us) Seems locked in a cycles
of self fulfilling prophesies)
