So after researching this thing up and down for a decade or so i guess i finally got a personal winner.
The snake was Enki, the fruit was sex (and knowledge perhaps of what the purpose of man was to be).
So man was being created to work the field and be eaten (Eloi ending) like we use horses for. Enki fucked that up and therefore the descendants of the gods (inbred elites) wanted him depicted as a snake because he was to them.
The god of that story is most likely Anu or Enlil.
Enlil used to be against creation of mankind (which they created starting from hominid and their own dna, as slave and food). He was the guy who opted for the flood to stop the nuisance later on.
It's clear (to me) history is suppressed right now, and that the sumerian myths hold lots of truth. Yes i know Sitchin is most likely an illuminati plant and he put some incorrectness in there for his other mates to call it all fake and discredit the whole story.
Enki was the only humanist among the 'gods' who wanted his creation to have a personal path aside mere slavery. Others just wanted slaves and decent food.
I was first put on the suspect this was the case when i read a jewish forum a decade or so ago where jewish scholars were confirming the two different dna story was real, meaning they know well their foundational myths and their real value but they are happy for others to believe in the christian understanding of the old testament.
An important side conclusion is to me that not even the elohim were good enough to make their own food in a lab, but needed to make it into a lifeform.
Another thing is that Enki was lord of the abyss and 'god' of wisdom. What does Jesus say of snakes? be wise as one. It seems a pretty easy take that that wasn't referencing an actual snake, but snakes got into the wisdom thing because of Enki portrayal in the story.
It's not the first reset since then and that's why i think one should entertain the idea the book was heavily modified since way before the greek translations.
I don't mean to offend anyone religious feelings but i just wanted some feedback on my own view.
The snake is in a lot of the very ancient world. Göbekli Tepe. Quetzalcoatl.
There was a massive cataclysm at the end of the Younger Dryas, somewhere around 12,000 to 13,000 years ago.
I really subscribe to the theory that a comet likely broke up. Remember that comet in the 90s? You could see it for a few days from most of the planet. They light up the sky when they get that close. If a comet broke up and had four of five impacts, they would have hit glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere, absorbing the impact (so you wouldn't have impact craters).
It's though most of our ancient stories about the dangers of a Snake or "Sky Serpent" is really a long distorted memory of a comet. That includes the Genesis creation story.
There is something being covered up about this ancient story though. Göbekli Tepe has barely been excavated, and one only has to look at the organizations in charge to see why it's been stalled. Egypt also refuses to admit there are large chambers under the Spinx. There's something about our ancient world that heads of states know and don't want the world to find out about.
