	Oannes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oannes, was the name given by the 3rd century BC Babylonian writer Berossus to a mythical being who taught mankind wisdom.
		Berossus describes Oannes as having the body of a fish but underneath the figure of a man.
		Once thought to be based on the ancient Babylonian god Ea, it is now known that Oannes is in fact based on Uan (Adapa) - the first of the seven antediluvian sages who were sent by Ea to deliver the arts of civilization to mankind in ancient Babylonian mythology.

		Oannes, in Babylonian mythology, was the name given by Berossus[?] to a mythical being who taught mankind wisdom.

		The culture-myth on which the account of Berossus rests has not yet been found in Babylonian literature, but there are numerous indications in hymns and incantations that confirm the indentification with Ea, and also prove the substantial correctness of the conceptions regarding Oannes-Ea as given by Berossus.

	MYSTERIOUS WORLD: Winter 2003: Ah Osiria! Part IV: The Beast from the Sea
		Oannes was a half-man half-fish deity and god of the sea cognate to Ea of the Mesopotamians, Dagon of the Philistines, Neptune of the Greeks and Poseidon of the Romans.
		Oannes is believed to have arisen out of the sea to impart the secrets of civilization to mankind in the world after the Flood, and was most likely the father of Osiris and the next generation of Rephaim giants in the world after the Flood.
		If Oannes were Poseidon returned, then it is most likely that this "beast from the sea" had returned to recreate the race of the giants that had ruled the world before the Flood — a race of semi-divine kings who would eventually attempt to conquer and rule the entire Earth.

		Oannes came to the early Babylonians as a reformer and an instructor.

		Jesus, Bacchus, the Chaldean Dagon and Oannes, the Akkadian Ea, the Babylonian Xisuthrus, and the Hindu Vishsu and Vaivasvata-Manu mystically are all fish characters, and hence connected with floods and avataras.

		Their fight is a matter of record, both human and celestial, and the resultant carnage (tidal waves, volcanoes exploding, earth tremors), followed by the explosive detonation of a superiors entire force matrix destroyed the advanced civilisation on the island losing their knowledge for many centuries.

		Oannes is stated to have been the original instructor of mankind; an old Babylonian account said that "for six days he instructed Alorus (according to the story, Alorus was the first man who reigned) and when the sun went down he withdrew till next morning ".
		The Babylonians knew nothing whatever of a creation in six days; the reference is quite clearly to an occasion when six days' instruction was given and according to Berossus this instruction represents the original book of revelation.
		They claimed very much the same for the god Ea as was claimed for Oannes, and there are sufficiently good reasons for saying that precisely the same functions are ascribed to both.
