Oannes – The Sea Being The Vatican Calls A Demon | History For Sleep

Video Description

Tonight, we walk down to a very old shoreline, long before Rome, long before the Vatican, to meet a strange visitor who rose from the sea. This is a soft-spoken journey into the legend of Oannes – the ancient, fish-clad teacher from Mesopotamia – and how beings like him were slowly pushed from “bringers of wisdom” to “demons” in the eyes of later faiths. We’ll begin in the lands of Babylon and Assyria, where the rivers met the sea and priests watched the horizon for omens. As you lie back and listen, we’ll follow the old stories that say Oannes emerged from the waters at dawn: half-man, half-fish, wrapped in a strange, scaly cloak. By day he taught humans writing, number, law, astronomy, and hidden wisdom. At night he slipped back beneath the waves, leaving the world just a little less wild than he found it. Slowly, we’ll drift through the myths of the Apkallu and the “teachers from the sea” – beings who, like the Watchers and the Anunnaki, brought forbidden knowledge to early humanity. Then we’ll watch as the ages turn: empires fall, new religions rise, and older gods are quietly recast. We’ll imagine how, from the vantage point of the Church, figures like Oannes could no longer be wise messengers but had to become something darker, folded into the long list of “pagan demons” and dangerous spirits. Along the way, we’ll notice echoes: fish-cloaked priests carved on Assyrian walls, early Christian symbols of the fish, and whispered connections between drowned gods, baptisms, and watery rebirth. Somewhere, perhaps, in the Vatican’s quieter shelves, scholars have compared these patterns—seeing how a being once honoured as a civiliser of humanity was turned into a cautionary tale. No loud sounds, no jump scares—just a calm, steady voice moving between shorelines, temples, and libraries. Put this on at night, close your eyes, and let the story of Oannes, the sea being the Vatican calls a demon, carry you gently toward sleep. #vatican #oannes #anunnaki #watchers #mesopotamia #ancientgods #vaticanmysteries #historyforsleep #forbiddentruth #occult #esoteric #mythology #sleepstory #bedtimehistory #conspiracy_documentary
