Who was this legendary figure?
Think Cain and Abel.
Think what Cain did to Abel.
Think of the verb describing action, a la Francais.
Try to think of where the french word 'Tuer' may have come from.
Cain was a killer and he killed his brother Abel.
The poem of Tubal Cain is an allegory of killing as evil.
Cain started out as maker of iron weapons that killed others, moving the world from the stone age to the iron age, but he later transformed himself as a creator of tools to help his brother, thus moving the world from hunter and gatherer to farmer and community creator.
Think Bal, as Abel.
Think of the god Baal.
Think of Cain as the killer of a religion of Baal that he considered bad, a religion that has human sacrifice.
Think of Cain as a religion.
Think of a battle between a religion that celebrated human sacrifice and one that did not.
The allegory of the killing of Abel by Cain may be that of a war of religious beliefs between two peoples.
In the end, the people of Cain survive and are a benign people who believe in peace.
That is the message of the Tubal Cain story and the message is possibly well over 5,000 years old and before the writing of the Old Testament or other religious writings that people worship.
The story represents the change in man from a hunter to a planter of seeds, a change that was of extraordinary significance to early peoples in the world of Eden, a world that thrived well before the Egyptian civilisation began, a world from which many of us derive our origins.
