Many scriptures refer to the two great planets where the Earth once resided, Kolob and Melaganiga (called Oliblish by the Egyptians). In gathering information regarding this early history of the Earth, some prophets—both modern and olden day—used the Urim and Thummim.

Explanation of the Urim and Thummim
The Urim and Thummim were delivered to Joseph Smith, Founder of the Mormon religion and its first Prophet, to enable him to translate. They were also used by Abraham to see the planet Kolob. Also called seer’s stones, there are several references to the Urim and Thummim used by priests of Israel and prophets in the first five books of the Bible and also in Mormon scriptures. The priests from the tribe of Levi wore these seer’s stones in breastplates.

Mormon Doctrine and Covenants: 10:1

“Now behold I say unto you, that because you delivered up those writings which you had power given unto you to translate by the means of the Urim and Thummim, into the
hands of a wicked man, you have lost them …”

Some of these seer’s stone devices are still secreted in various sacred sites of the Earth. Among those sites are the hall of records in Ayers Rock, Australia; the hill of Palmyra near Manchester in Ontario County, New York and there are some in Peru, as well as others.

The Scriptures (taken from the Book of Abraham in the Mormon scripture called The Pearl of Great Price, translated from Egyptian scrolls by Joseph Smith.) Chapter 3: 1-4

1. “And I, Abraham, had the Urim and Thummim, which the Lord my God had given unto me, in Ur of the Chaldees.”

2. “And I saw the stars, that they were very great, and that one of them was nearest unto the throne of God; and there were many great ones that were near unto it.”

3. “And the Lord said unto me: These are the governing ones; and the name of the great one is Kolob, because it is near unto me, for I am the Lord thy God: I have set this one to govern all those which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest.”

4. “And the Lord said unto me, by the Urim and Thummim, that Kolob was after the manner of the Lord, according to its times and seasons in the revolutions thereof; that one revolution was a day unto the Lord, after his manner of reckoning, it being one thousand years according to the time appointed unto that whereon thou standest …”

Explanation

With Additional Translation by Almine

The prophet Joseph Smith purchased an Egyptian papyrus scroll, which is partially shown in Fig. 18. The portions he was permitted to translate tell of the star system of Kolob where the Earth originated.

At the time, he was not permitted to translate portions of the heiroglyphics shown. I was permitted to translate five more portions but was also told the rest is for a later time.

Fig. 1—Kolob, signifying the first creation, nearest to the celestial, or the residence of God. First in government, the last pertaining to the measurement of time… One day in Kolob is equal to a thousand years according to the measurement of this Earth, which is called by the Egyptians Jah-oh-eh.

Fig. 2—Stands Next to Kolob, called by the Egyptians Oliblish, which is the next grand governing creation …, holding the key of power also pertaining to other planets…

Fig. 3—Is made to represent God, sitting upon His throne, clothed with power and authority; with a crown of eternal light upon his head …

Fig. 4—Answers to the Hebrew word signifying expanse, or the firmament of the heavens; also a numerical figure, in Egyptian signifying one thousand; answering to the measuring of time of Olibllish, which is equal with Kolob in its revolution and in its measuring of time.

Fig. 5—Is called in Egyptian Enish-go-on-dosh; this is one of the governing planets also, and is said by the Eyptians to be the Sun and to borrow its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash, which is the grand Key, or, in other words, the governing power, which governs fifteen other fixed planets or stars, as also Floeese or the Moon, the Earth and the Sun in their annual revolutions. This planet receives its power through the medium of Kli-flos-is-es, or Hah-ko-kau-beam, the stars represented by numbers 22 and 23, receiving light from the revolutions of Kolob.

Fig. 6—Represents this Earth in its four quarters.

Fig. 7—Represents God sitting upon his throne …

Figs. 8—21—(Joseph Smith said that he was not supposed to reveal the meanings of these at that time.)
Information given to Almine regarding figures not translated by Joseph Smith:

Fig. 17—The Earth had its origins here. Her name when in this star system was Ana-vi-ash-varuba.

Fig. 18—In the outer ring it clearly states that there is a higher power than the god on the throne from which all life sprang, and that the higher power is feminine.

Fig. 19—The Mother Goddess created man in her own likeness.

Fig. 20—The divine Mother is all-loving and benevolent to all life.

Fig. 21—The Mother’s glory is everywhere.
