RACHEL MODEST – WRITTEN IN THE STARS
” I was struck by the passage in Genesis where it is very clearly states that God said ‘Let us’…. so I was researching who this ‘us’ was. This brought me to some research on the ancient Sumerian texts (Sumerians being the oldest living civilisation on the planet). There you are given some context as to who the ‘we’ was. Basically, the Sumerians write that God’s (plural) came from the sky and created man in his own image so that we would become workers for them. At some point there were great wars etc. Too long to go into here, but I was struck by the growing school of thought about our origins. So I decided that perhaps I could write about it. Hence the track.”
