200 During the Great Deluge every man and beast dwelling in Kemen persished save those who found refuge in ships that Samael commanded to be built and provisioned. And all of Kemen lay under ice for a full generation.

201 In the aftermath a dispute arose between Elyon and Samael concerning the faithfulness of angels and nephilim and men. It was the contention of Samael that without constant intervention the world- dwellers quickly dwindled in disloyalty to the elohim.

202 Elyon proposed to put Samael’s contention to the test on Earth. Prince Melchizedek, son of Melchiyahu king of Salem, was sent to Earth to raise up a covenant people and test whether men might remain faithful with only a trace of direct contact with their God.

203 Melchizedek took with him the Killing Relic, a weapon made by the hands of Elyon himself, that he might be protected in his quest and as a sure sign Elyon was not a figment like the gods that multiplied in the imagination of the men of Earth.

204 Melchizedek rose to the surface of Lake Tana with his supplies packaged in a clever way to keep them dry. He decanted his comestibles on the shore of the lake and moved them to a raft that he made. There was a quantity of gold to trade to replenish with local goods what stock he consumed.

205 From the mouth of the lake it was thirty miles to the Blue Nile falls, which were sufficiently high to force Melchizedek to make portage around them by lowering his raft with ropes. After that he ran the rapids of the upper Blue Nile gorge, which men have always called unrunnable.

206 Below the rapids, Melchizedek sat in the raft and drifted through deserts with no water except the river he floated on. He passed water beasts and human onlookers who dared not approach.

207 At length he floated into the place where the Blue Nile merged with the White Nile to become the Nile river proper. It was much warmer here than in Kemen and it took many days for Melchizedek to grow immune to the heat.

208 In a town on the lower Nile delta Melchizedek traded his raft and some gold for camels and supplies to make an overland journey. His destination was the land of Chaldea in the marshy lands far to the east were the Euphrates and Tigris rivers joined together before flowing to the sea.
