A disclaimer. I'm not an organist, and surely not an organ composer. But I enjoy making organ music these days, and I guess that should be all that really matters :)

Hey! I'm not an organist, but a Metis friend of mine has The Epic of Gilgamesh,
one of the first writings preserved by humanity. I read it last week, nice artwork too.
Moses only wrote about there "being giants" back then, his writings 3,500 years old.
The Bhagavad Gita, from India, 4,500 years old, tells of giants who became cannibals,
eating humans, and Shiva came from heaven to slay them.
I see this as going back 10,000 years to the last ice age, when who survived hid in caves or underground cities.
That's when you came out to catch and kill anything you could to eat, no more vegetarians, for a long time.
There are 26 underground cities around Jericho, each for 10,000 to 20,000 people, with animals.
The ice age, with the earth's magnetic poles moving, could have caused Atlantians, where the Antarctic is now,
to move north, closer to the equator, building the old monuments of Egypt no-one can account for.
Gilgamesh was probably a last remant of those people, the gods sending him to make another, acting as king, responsible.
