Many scholars have translated the word "Abyss" to mean, a deep body of water. Likewise, Assyriologists assume the sumerian "Abzu" is a mythological deep body of fresh water, an underground water source. However, considering the ways in which both the Abyss and Abzu are described in ancient texts and depicted on cylinder seals, it's highly unlikely that any such translation is completely revealing or entirely accurate. In this book, I will describe how and why such translations are incorrect and provide a feasible set of alternative viewpoints for your consideration. 

According to biblical texts, there's a hidden door to the "Abyss" and "Bottomless Pit" in the vicinity of the Euphrates river, a star gate of sorts. It has been there, buried under the ruins of the ancient Mesopotamian city of Eridu, for thousands of years. [1] It's my contention, that this Abyss mentioned in the bible, is also referred to in sumerian texts as the "Abzu," and is associated with a sumerian god known as "Enki-Ea." 

The Abzu or Engur, is further described as a doorway from which Enki-Ea arrived on the Earth and over which he built the Temple of E. ABZU at Eridu, to facilitate its usage. Yes, you heard me right: usage.
