Heavenly Writing The Celestial Code Of Scripture

While studying the relationship between celestial mythology and astronomical knowledge as a graduate student at Brigham Young University, John McHugh stumbled upon an arcane celestial code. According to this secret code the stars and constellations embodied divinities, and their titles and images depicted “Heavenly Writing.” Cryptic messages enciphered in this celestial script divulged monumental scenes that had once taken place on Earth. Elite astrologer-magicians—which included the magi who followed the star of Bethlehem to baby Jesus—translated these encoded communiqués into stories that became the Pagan, Judaic, Christian, and Islamic scriptures we know today. 

Although this astral code arose in Mesopotamia, it was eventually disseminated into other cultures throughout Syria-Palestine, Arabia, and Greece—including the monotheistic societies that would eventually produce the Hebrew Bible, the Christian New Testament, and the Qur’an. The code reveals the paradigm underlying the miraculous events recounted in those scriptures, and explained how those supernatural incidents came to be reported as hallowed history.

John McHugh shows precisely how this celestial cipher was used to produce many of the miraculous stories reported in Mesopotamian, Greco-Roman, Biblical, and Qur’anic religious mythology—narratives that include Gilgamesh’s epic battle with the zodiacal Bull, the story of an Eagle who carried a handsome shepherd-boy into heaven, the Garden of Eden and Noah’s Ark, Jonah’s three-day confinement in the belly of a sea-monster, Samson’s slaughter of a thousand Philistines with the mere jawbone of an ass, Jesus’ virgin birth and walk across the Sea of Galilee, as well as Muhammad’s preternatural encounter with the angel Gabriel.

The rediscovery of this secret celestial code would not have been possible without the accumulated archaeological and linguistic research of more than a century of world-class scholars. Ironically, a tacit century-old proscription against investigating the relationship between Mesopotamian astronomical knowledge and Biblical and Qur’anic religious mythology has prevented modern scholars from seeing that this stellar cipher was the basis for the Biblical and Qur’anic miracle narratives.  Until now

John McHugh earned a Master’s degree from Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah, USA) with a dual emphasis on Near Eastern and Native American Archaeology (1999). He has extensive archaeological excavation and survey experience throughout Syria, Jordan, and the American Southwest. He specializes in Near Eastern and Native American archaeoastronomy as well as American Indian rock art and possesses reading knowledge of Sumerian, Akkadian, Ugaritic, Biblical Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Qur’anic Arabic. John is the lead archaeologist for the Utah Cultural Astronomy Project, which is committed to exposing and celebrated the wealth of scientific wisdom embedded in the religious cosmologies of Ancestral Puebloan peoples and their modern Puebloan descendants.  He is the author of  The Celestial Code of Scriptures
