That makes sense @Lucas88. I also heard that in the Old Testament, there are at least 3 gods - Yahweh, Jehovah, and Elohim. Do you agree? If so, are any of them good? Who were the Elohim?
In the prebiblical Western Semitic religion the Elohim were a group of gods who were worshiped by the Canaanites, Phoenicians and other Semitic peoples. The term was originally the plural form of
el (i.e., god) and therefore meant "gods" in the polytheistic sense. In the pantheon of the Elohim the sky-god El was exalted as the King of Heaven, Ba'al was coregent within the divine council, and Kothar wa Khasis was the god of science and wisdom as well as the arts and crafts. The goddesses included El's consort Asherah and the goddess of beauty and passion Astarte. The Elohim were identical to the Anunnaki of Sumer. Often there is a one-to-one correspondence between the major gods of these two respective pantheons. For example, El is the Semitic equivalent of Anu, Ba'al corresponds directly to Enlil, and Kothar wa Khasis is Enki. Likewise Astarte is the Sumerian goddess Inanna (or Ishtar in her Akkadian form). The Elohim and the Anunnaki were the same group of deities. Furthermore, the Anunnaki-Elohim were deities in the sense of lesser divine beings. In the case of Sumerian mythology they were all created beings born out of the earlier cosmic principles of Abzu (masculine cosmic Yang) and Nammu (feminine cosmic Yin).
Centuries later in the biblical religion the Hebrew elite began to push their own brand of monotheism centered around El (i.e., Yahweh, the lord of the heavenly hosts) and initiated a campaign to erase or slander the gods of all other nations. First the authors of the Bible appropriated the Semitic term Elohim and reinterpreted it as a synonym for El. The
pluralis majestatis argument is just a later justification for Hebrew monotheism and a way to hide the religion's more ancient polytheistic past. Then the same authors of the Bible proceeded to slander and demonize all of the original gods who sided with Enki in the war. Of these we find Enki himself (i.e., the Serpent in Genesis), Enki's firstborn son Marduk (Merodach or Bel in the Bible), Enki's brother Enlil (Ba'al in the Old Testament, later Beelzebub in Christian demonology), Inanna (the "Queen of Heaven" in the Book of Jeremiah), and several others. In biblical times there was also a strong campaign against the goddess Asherah.
So to answer your question, the original Elohim were a group of gods, some of whom were good, while El, Yahweh and the monotheized biblical "Elohim" are all the same being who is overwhelmingly evil. Jehovah is just a later variation of Yahweh.

What about the Egyptians? Who are the Ra, Isis, Osiris, and Set in their theology? Were they good gods or good ancient aliens? Where did they go? Did Thoth tell us anything about them?
The Egyptian gods were our Gentile gods. These too were slandered by the Hebrews. Ptah, who was also known as the "master builder" and "lord of serpents" for his gift of civilization and his great occult powers, is the Egyptian incarnation of Enki. The sun god Ra is an Egyptian incarnation of Marduk. Isis largely corresponds to Inanna. Thoth is the Sumerian god Ningishzidda. Other Egyptian gods and goddesses also correspond with gods and goddesses of other Gentile civilizations and are allied with Enki in the cosmic war.
Egypt was attacked both by the Hyksos who were an earlier incarnation of Yahweh's people (their leaders had Semitic names) and by the pharaoh Akhenaten who attempted to outlaw the original polytheism and impose his own monotheistic Atenism. Akhenaton was probably a Reptilian hybrid.
The good gods of Egypt were expelled from the Earth just like the Watchers of the Book of Enoch. Indeed in the Hermetic text "Prophecy of Thoth" Hermes Trismegistus explains to Asclepius that following the invasion of the "barbarians" the original gods left Egypt and only "evil angels" remained. These evil angels are the angels of Yahweh (or the archons) who defeated the original gods of Enki-Ptah and banished them to the "Abyss".

Does Hinduism say anything about the Demiurge? There are many variations of Hinduism too. Which one do you think is truest?
Hinduism speaks of the evil Asuras who are in a multi-millennial conflict with the Devas and who now rule over the world in the Kali Yuga. The foremost Asura is said to be Vritra who envelops the world in his own darkness. Vritra could be the demiurge or at least a metaphorical representation of his unnatural system. Other major Asuras are Koka and Vikoka, two generals of evil who lord over the Earth and will be slain by Lord Kalki at the end of the Kali Yuga.
Only the prehistoric Hinduism belongs to Shiva and our gods. The earliest form of Hinduism seems to have given priority to Yoga and occult development as evidenced by early statues of Shiva in Yoga poses. Vedic Hinduism is highly corrupt due to its formation in the Kali Yuga. The later philosophical schools of Hinduism such as Vedanta as well as Buddhism are also corruptions. They don't teach the pursuit of godhood and spiritual advancement like the religions of the original gods (see the reliefs of Egypt with the gods with the ascended Kundalini serpent and the activated solar disc). Rather they only teach "karma" and liberation from material reality in the form of "Moksha" or "Nirvana". These sects are all influenced by the asuras/archons for our spiritual enslavement.

Have you seen Robert Stanley's website or podcasts? He thinks Enki is the Yahweh of the Bible. He claims to have met Enki too. Was he deceived? Here's his site:
www.unicusmagazine.com
I don't know Robert Stanley but I am aware that some authors within the alternative sphere assert that Enki is Yahweh, which is a baseless claim. But I'm personally not impressed by the level of research of most of these people. The movement is full of authors who wish to promote all kinds of extravagant and poorly researched ideas with the goal of selling books or carving their own niche of fame. I don't know whether Robert Stanley was deceived or whether he is lying or what happened. I don't know the guy and I wasn't there when the event allegedly took place.
But from my years of research I've found that the only biblical identity which fits with Enki is the Serpent in Genesis while most evidence points to Anu as the Sumerian precursor of Yahweh (and not Enlil either as Zecharia Sitchin claims).
