Heliopolis as Alorus Ptah

"Alorus Ptah didn’t start out as the Biblical Adam,” Mnemosyne continued. “Make that the second Adam since, as any Biblical scholar worth his salt will tell you, there were two Adams in the Bible. He began as Kadmon Heliopolis, a twentieth century man who had already been killed sixty plus times.

"Our Eden wasn’t just a garden. It was a landform that followed him, from lifetime to lifetime and throughout time and space. You were familiar with it, Aegean Trigon, the home of the Family Zeross and all those they helped raise right up until 1968."

The Dual Entities as Adam and Eve

Although Heliosophos and his somehow humanized Mnemosyne Machine were going by the names of Alorus Ptah and Trishtar Thrae, the Outer Earth’s Book of Byblos remembered them as Adam and Eve. Because of that, certain superstitious fools believed to this day – and to Mithras’s mind defiant of logic – that Adam-Ptah constituted the Male Entity’s first lifetime.

It fell to Thrygragos Lazareme, in effect the Legendarian’s half-grandfather on both sides of the bed, to find a way to kill Helios.

The Sedonshem first settles on the moon

It, the Sedonshem, with not even close to every devil who ever existed on it, as part of it, settled on the moon. There it remained, those on the moon absorbing starlight for nourishment, for many solar years. Meanwhile, down below, the expeditionary party led by Thrygragos Lazareme checked out the suitability of the planet’s population for devic colonization.

There was a good reason for Sedon’s reticence to go any farther. It had to do with why the Sedonshem no longer contained even close to every devil who ever existed. Sure enough, the completeness of that rationale had preceded the Sedonshem to Earth.

The Male Entity, Heliosophos, Helios called Sophos the Wise, was already on its surface. He may even have been born there, though probably not in the lifetime he was then currently living. Even with the Sedonshem up top, poised like a cosmic tomcat ready to pounce on an unsuspecting, golden-apple-eating dodo, Lazareme did not deem it safe for it to come down until over half a century after Anti-Patriarch Cain did an Abel on Helios as Alorus Ptah.

Dropping like leaves falling off the Patriarch Tree

Cain committed suicide. He did so by blowing himself up at the Gates of Eden. He was hardly the only one exterminated that day. Thousands of his followers were beside him when he triggered the atomic heart of his golden calf. A chain reaction emanating from the explosion just as thoroughly wiped out Enoch City, which he’d founded, nestled at the foot of three suspiciously Trigon-like pinnacles in the Arabian Peninsula, after Adam-Ptah disinherited him for slaying Abel and he countered by establishing his anti-patriarchy.

Nonetheless, as Mithras recalled because he’d been there when his father ordered that particular Sedonplay, Future-Plathon, in the form of Cain’s Apis Bull, suckered him into crafting the calf in the first place. Furthermore, the devic personalities Illuminaries came to name Marut Kanin, Aphropsyche Morningstar and Mariamne Dawnstar were in possession of Cain’s three young, non-rainbow-class wives – whose names were, curiously, Cybele, Eden and Mnemosyne – so they probably had something to do with the calf as well.

Not just Anti-Patriarch Cain pays the price

Number Six, Jaro Dan – a name Tethys couldn’t help but note contained the makings of Jordan, albeit with a surplus ‘a’ – was the Odin of Ragnarok. He outlived his son, Number Seven, by a considerable margin. He also outlived his predecessors, though not Nor’s successors: Amemp Tut, Oriartes Ma and Xuthros Hor.

Like Eight, Nine and Ten, Number Six had been there on the day in 366 PD that his father, Number Five, Mahurus Zir, fell victim to fallen angel devils, extraterrestrial invaders of the planet. Five dabbled in arcane arts. In the oxygen-starved high plain of the Andean mountain range, where he’d established his home base, Power Point Tiahuanaco, he was showing them a 3-eyed oddity he’d captured in an amber-like trap when the Byronics attacked.

Jaro Dan very nearly went down himself, never to rise anew, during the course of what amounted to a rescue mission; the same revelatory foray that cost Thrygragos Byron his body. As a result of what they saw and experienced firsthand at Tiahuanaco, the retired patriarch retroactively blamed devils for the unnatural deaths of his son as well as Patriarchs One through Four and Anti-Patriarch Cain.

He might have been wrong about Alorus Ptah but – even though, as a golden-apple-eating member of the Golden Age’s rainbow class, he couldn’t be possessed – the Anti-Patriarch might have been under devic influence when he poisoned his own father. In a manner of speaking Dan was wrong about Cain too.

He was certainly right about Numbers Two through Four, though. The Mithradite Illuminaries named Nergal Vetala claimed credit for Two, Pseth Ra, and Eventual ‘Yati, Byron’s Dragon, notched Three, Enolon Su. Sedon himself was largely responsible for the death of Four, Kemem Seb, and of course it was the Sedonshem landing that did for Seven, Droch Nor.

Ptah-Helios wiped out Eden/Atlantis

“In other words they know nil multiplied by millions of noughts about the actual Golden Age of Humanity and/or its founder and principal patriarch, Alorus Ptah, the Biblical Adam. Mind you, to be fair, I’ve read that certain admirably fearless scholars out there claim there are in point of contention two distinct Adams described in this Bible of theirs; that, presumably, the Xuthrodite Brotherhood, whom we devils do indeed demean as Horrites, deleted virtually all of its allusions to our Adam, Prime Patriarch Ptah.

“If they’re to be believed then it seems Hor and his wife, the first and, for Illuminaries, inspirational Anthea, along with their fellow survivors of the Genesea, didn’t want it bruited about that Alorus Ptah established the Golden Age only after he intentionally, not to mention mass-murderously, brought about the sinking and, with it, the destruction of Old Eden."

Prophylactics against devic possession

So there I am [Machine-Memory], let’s call it 5550 B.C., in the Garden of New Eden. We’ve been there quite a while. Did I mention we don’t age very fast? Well, I don’t age at all, not so long as I ensure I maintain myself properly. But Ptah-Helios doesn’t age much either, not since he started eating golden apples. Doesn’t matter, we didn’t. Only, without any devils around to possess, I‘m a glorified mandroid, remember.

These golden apples serve a second function. The eldritch earthborn -- daemons, faeries and such like base planetary natives -- positively hate them. Which is why they stay away from humanity’s rainbow class, Golden Agers like Ptah-Helios’s become, preferring to plague the mundane rest of humanity. They’re as rude as ever for much the same reason. They’re allergic to golden apples.
