(gods in blue …mixed-breed demigods in teal…)

1-10. The great-hearted mistress, the impetuous lady,

proud among the Anuna (Anunnaki) gods and pre-eminent in all lands,

   (Inanna with alien weaponry; father Suen, the Moon Crescent god)

the great daughter of Suen (Enlil‘s son Nannar / Sin), exalted among the Great Princes

(a name of the Igigi gods), (Anunnaki / Anuna alien gods from planet Nibiru)

the magnificent lady who gathers up the divine powers (alien technologies)

of heaven and earth and rivals great An (Anunnaki King Anu),

is mightiest (spoiled daughter to Nannar) among the great gods — she makes their verdicts final.

The Anuna (Anunnaki) gods crawl before her august word whose course she does not let An know;

    (Anu, King of all Anunnaki:  Anu & great-granddaughter Inanna upon her zodiac symbol of Leo)

he dare not proceed against her command.

She changes her own action, and no one knows how it will occur.

She makes perfect the great divine powers (alien technologies),

she holds a shepherd’s crook, and she is their magnificent pre-eminent one.

She is a huge shackle clamping down upon the gods of the Land.

Her great awesomeness covers the great mountain and levels the roads.

  (Inanna given much by King Anu, & grandfather Enlil, the Earth Colony Commander)

11-17. At her loud cries, the gods of the Land become scared.

Her roaring makes the Anuna gods tremble like a solitary reed.

At her rumbling, they hide all together.

  (Royal Prince Enlil, granddaughter Goddess of Love Inanna, & Enki)

Without Inana great An makes no decisions, and Enlil determines no destinies.

Who opposes the mistress who raises her head and is supreme over the mountains?

Wherever she ……, cities become ruin mounds and haunted places, and shrines become waste land.

When her wrath makes people tremble,

the burning sensation and the distress she causes are like an ulu demon ensnaring a man.

18-28. She stirs confusion and chaos against those who are disobedient to her,

speeding carnage and inciting the devastating flood, clothed in terrifying radiance.

  (Inanna the pilot, skilled in combat)

It is her game to speed conflict and battle (Goddess of War), untiring, strapping on her sandals.

Clothed (?) in a furious storm, a whirlwind, she …… the garment of ladyship.

                 (Inanna;             Utu & Inanna, giant Goddess of War, twin, with disloyal earthlings, one by a nose ring)

  (Inanna in her sky-disc above, protecting her mixed-breed king from all dangers to come)

The mistress, an eagle that lets no one escape, ……, Inana, a falcon preying on the gods,

Inana rips to pieces the spacious cattle-pens.

The fields of the city which Inana has looked at in anger …….

The furrows of the field which the mistress …… grass.

 

    (Anu gave his house, city of Uruk, sky-disc, & much more to Inanna, Anu departed to heaven / Nibiru)

An opposes her, …….

Setting on fire, in the high plain the mistress ……. Inana …….

The mistress …… speeding …… fighting, …… conflict.

39-48. …… she performs a song.

This song …… its established plan, weeping, the food and milk of death.

Whoever eats …… Inana‘s food and milk of death will not last.

Gall will give a burning pain to those she gives it to eat, …… in their mouth …….

In her joyful heart she performs the song of death on the plain.

 (Inanna & her 8-pointed star symbols of Venus)

She performs the song of her heart.

She washes their weapons with blood and gore, …….

Axes smash heads, spears penetrate and maces are covered in blood.

Their evil mouths …… the warriors …….

On their first offerings she pours blood, filling them with death.

49-59. On the wide and silent plain, darkening the bright daylight, she turns midday into darkness.

People look upon each other in anger, they look for combat.

Their shouting disturbs the plain, it weighs on the pasture and the waste land.

 (Ishkur / Adad, Inanna‘s uncle, the son to Enlil the Commander of Earth Colony, & heir to King Anu)

Her howling is like Iškur‘s (Adad) and makes the flesh of all the lands tremble.

No one can oppose her murderous battle — who rivals her?

No one can look at her fierce fighting, the speeding carnage.

Engulfing (?) water, raging, sweeping over the earth, she leaves nothing behind.

The mistress, a breaking plow opening hard ground, …….

The braggarts do not lift their necks, …….

Her great heart performs her bidding, the mistress who alone fashions (?) …….

Exalted in the assembly, she occupies the seat of honor, …… to the right and left.

60-72. Humbling huge mountains as if they were piles of litter, she immobilizes …….

She brings about the destruction of the mountain lands from east to west.

  (giant alien sky-pilot Inanna, Goddess of Love & War to earthling kings)

Inana …… wall …… gulgul stones, she obtains victory.

She …… the kalaga stone …… as if it were an earthenware bowl, she makes it like sheep’s fat.

The proud mistress holds a dagger in her hand, a radiance which covers the Land;

her suspended net catches fish in the deep, not even leaving the ahan in the subterranean waters.

As if she were a clever fowler no bird escapes the mesh of her suspended net.

The place ……, …… the divine plans of heaven and earth.

The intention of her word does not …… to An.

The context of her confusing advice in the great gods’ assembly is not known.

In the entire (?) country she …….

She lets her run around in the town square ……. …… of a house the wife sees her child.

80-90. When she had removed the great punishment from her body,

she invoked blessings upon it; she caused it to be named the pilipili.

She broke the spear and as if she were a man …… gave her a weapon.

When she had …… punishment, it is not …….

She …… the door of the house of wisdom, she makes known its interior.

Those who do not respect her suspended net do not escape …… when she suspends the meshes of her net.

The man she has called by name she does not hold in esteem.

Having approached the woman, she breaks the weapon and gives her a spear.

You are pre-eminent in the cult places, you are magnificent in your course.

   

 (granddaughter Inanna, giant king, Ninlil, Ninlil‘s father Haia, & Ninlil‘s mother Nisaba, the grain gods;   Adad, son to Ninlil)

99-108. Ezina (Ninlil, Adad‘s mother) …… august dais ……. Iškur (Adad) who roars from the sky …….

His thick clouds …….

When …… the great divine powers of heaven and earth,

Inana, your victory is terrifying …….

The Anuna gods bow down in prostration, they abase themselves.

You ride on seven great beasts (7 nuclear missiles) as you come forth from heaven.

Great An feared your precinct and was frightened of your dwelling-place.

He let you take a seat in the dwelling-place of great An and then feared you no more, saying:

“I will hand over to you the august royal rites and the great divine rites (spoiled gifts).”

109-114. The great gods kissed the earth and prostrated themselves.

The high mountain land, the land of cornelian and lapis lazuli, bowed down before you,

but Ebiḫ did not bow down before you and did not greet you.

Shattering it in your anger, as desired, you smashed it like a storm.

59-71 The raven paid exact attention to the instructions of his master.

It chopped up (?) and chewed (?) the kohl for the incantation priests of Eridug

with the oil and water which were to be found in a lapis-lazuli bowl and were placed in the back-room of the shrine.

It planted them in a trench for leeks in a vegetable plot; then it pulled out (?) …….

  (Ningal, plant of the gods, & mixed-breed king Ur-Nammu at her behest)

A plant growing in a plot like a leek, an oddity standing up

(1 ms. has instead: sticking up) like a leek stalk — who had ever seen such a thing before?

      (Enki experiments with earth creatures, mixing their DNA to create workers, replacements for Anunnaki workers)

That a bird like the raven, performing the work of man,

should make the counterweight blocks of the shadouf bump up and settle down;

that it should make the counterweight blocks of the shadouf bump down and rise up —

who had ever seen such a thing before?

72-90 Then the raven rose up from this oddity, and climbed up it — a date palm! — with a harness.

It rubbed off the kohl (?) …… which it had stuffed into its beak onto the pistils (?).

…… just as with a date palm, which……, a tree growing forever — who had ever seen such a thing before?

Its scaly leaves surround its palm heart.

Its dried palm-fronds serve as weaving material.

Its shoots are like surveyor’s gleaming line; they are fit for the king’s fields.

Its (?) branches are used in the king’s palace for cleaning.

Its dates, which are piled up near purified barley, are fit for the temples of the great gods.

(Enki‘s experiments)

That a bird like the raven, performing the work of man,

makes the counterweight blocks of the shadouf bump up and settle down;

At his master’s command, the raven stepped into the abzu. —

Now, what did one say to another?

What further did one add to the other in detail?

91-111…… Cu-kale-tuda was his name. ……, a son (?) of Igi-sigsig, the ……,

was to water garden plots and build the installation for a well among the plants,

but not a single plant remained there, not even one: he had pulled them out by their roots and destroyed them.

Then what did the stormwind bring?

It blew the dust of the mountains into his eyes.

When he tried to wipe the corner of his eyes with his hand, he got some of it out, but was not able to get all of it out.

He raised his eyes to the lower land and saw the exalted gods of the land where the sun rises.

He raised his eyes to the highlands and saw the exalted gods of the land where the sun sets.

He saw a solitary ghost.

He recognized a solitary god by her appearance.

He saw someone who fully possesses the divine powers (alien technologies).

He was looking at someone whose destiny was decided by the gods.

In that plot — had he not approached it five or ten times before? – there stood a single shady tree at that place.

The shady tree was a Euphrates poplar with broad shade.

Its shade was not diminished in the morning, and it did not change either at midday or in the evening.

  (Inanna, giant Goddess of Love & War, Inanna in flight suit)

112-128 Once, after my lady had gone around the heavens, after she had gone around the earth,

after Inanna had gone around the heavens, after she had gone around the earth,

after she had gone around Elam and Subir, after she had gone around the intertwined horizon of heaven,

the mistress became so tired that when she arrived there she lay down by its roots.

Cu-kale-tuda noticed her from beside his plot.

   (winged alien pilot, goddess Inanna)

Inanna …… the loincloth (?) of the seven divine powers over her genitals.

…… the girdle of the seven divine powers (alien advanced tech) over her genitals …….

…… with the shepherd Ama-ucumgal-ana (Dumuzi).…… …… over her holy genitals …….

Cu-kale-tuda undid the loincloth (?) of seven divine powers and got her to lie down in her resting place.

           (Inanna had sex with gods & many giant mixed-breeds appointed to kingships, for thousands of years)

He had intercourse with her and kissed her there.

After he had had intercourse with her and kissed her, he went back to beside his plot.

When day had broken and Utu had risen, the woman inspected herself closely, holy Inanna inspected herself closely.

 (Inanna, spoiled daughter to Nannar, spoiled granddaughter to Earth Colony Commander Enlil)

129-138 Then the woman was considering what should be destroyed because of her genitals;

            (Inanna)

Inanna was considering what should be done because of her genitals.

She filled the wells of the Land with blood, so it was blood that the irrigated orchards of the Land yielded,

it was blood that the slave who went to collect firewood drank,

it was blood that the slavegirl who went out to draw water drew,

and it was blood that the black-headed (alien term for earthlings) people drank.

No one knew when this would end.

She said: “I will search everywhere for the man who had intercourse with me”.

But nowhere in all the lands could she find the man who had had intercourse with her. —

Now, what did one say to another?

What further did one add to the other in detail?

139-159 The boy went home to his father and spoke to him; Cu-kale-tuda went home to his father and spoke to him:

“My father, I was to water garden plots and build the installation for a well among the plants,

but not a single plant remained there, not even one: I had pulled them out by their roots and destroyed them.

Then what did the stormwind bring?

It blew the dust of the mountains into my eyes.

When I tried to wipe the corner of my eyes with my hand,

I got some of it out, but was not able to get all of it out.

I raised my eyes to the lower land, and saw the high gods of the land where the sun rises.

I raised my eyes to the highlands, and saw the exalted gods of the land where the sun sets.

I saw a solitary ghost.

I recognized a solitary god by her appearance.

(alien goddess Inanna, lover to most every ancient mixed-breed made king)

I saw someone who possesses fully the divine powers (alien technologies).

I was looking at someone whose destiny was decided by the gods.

In that plot — had I not approached it five or ten (1 ms. has instead: three or six hundred) times before? —

there stood a single shady tree at that place.

The shady tree was a Euphrates poplar with broad shade.

Its shade was not diminished in the morning, and it did not change either at midday or in the evening.

160-167 “Once, after my lady had gone around the heavens, after she had gone around the earth,

after Inanna had gone around the heavens, after she had gone around the earth,

after she had gone around Elam and Subir, after she had gone around the intertwined horizon of heaven,

the mistress became so tired that when she arrived there she lay down by its roots.

I noticed her from beside my plot.

(Dumuzi & Inanna in embrace)

I had intercourse with her and kissed her there.

Then I went back to beside my plot.

168-176 “Then the woman was considering what should be destroyed because of her genitals;

Inanna was considering what should be done because of her genitals.

She filled the wells of the Land with blood, so it was blood that the irrigated orchards of the Land yielded,

it was blood that the slave who went to collect firewood drank,

it was blood that the slavegirl who went out to draw water drew, and it was blood that the black-headed people drank.

No one knew when this would end.

She said: “I will search everywhere for the man who had intercourse with me”.

But nowhere could she find the man who had had intercourse with her.”

177-184 His father replied to the boy; his father replied to Cu-kale-tuda:

“My son, you should join the city-dwellers, your brothers (1 ms. has instead: who are your brothers).

Go at once to the black-headed people, your brothers!

Then this woman will not find you among the mountains.”

He joined the city-dwellers, his brothers all together.

He went at once to the black-headed people, his brothers, and the woman did not find him among the mountains.

185-193 Then the woman was considering a second time what should be destroyed because of her genitals;

Inanna was considering what should be done because of her genitals.

She mounted on a cloud, took (?) her seat there and …….

The south wind and a fearsome storm flood went before her.

The pilipili (one of the cultic personnel in Inanna‘s entourage) and a dust storm followed her.

Abba-cucu, Inim-kur-dugdug (unidentified?), …… adviser …….

Seven times seven helpers (?) stood beside her in the high desert.

She said: “I will search everywhere for the man who had intercourse with me”.

But nowhere could she find the man who had intercourse with her.

194-205 The boy went home to his father and spoke to him; Cu-kale-tuda went home to his father and spoke to him:

“My father, the woman of whom I spoke to you,

this woman was considering a second time what should be destroyed because of her genitals;

Inana was considering what should be done because of her genitals.

206-213 His father replied to the boy; his father replied to Cu-kale-tuda:

“My son, you should join the city-dwellers, your brothers.

Go at once to the black-headed people (Mesopotamian earthlings), your brothers!

Then this woman will not find you among the mountains.”

He joined the city-dwellers, his brothers all together.

He went at once to the black-headed people, his brothers, and the woman did not find him among the mountains.

 (dangerous & deadly, Goddess of Love, Inanna)

214-220 Then the woman was considering a third time what should be destroyed because of her genitals;

Inanna was considering what should be done because of her genitals.

She took a single …… in her hand.

She blocked the highways of the Land with it.

Because of her, the black-headed people …….

She said: “I will search everywhere for the man who had intercourse with me”.

But nowhere could she find the man who had intercourse with her.

221-230 The boy went home to his father and spoke to him; Cu-kale-tuda went home to his father and spoke to him:

“My father, the woman of whom I spoke to you,

this woman was considering a third time what should be destroyed because of her genitals;

              (Inanna)

Inanna was considering what should be done because of her genitals.

She took a single …… in her hand.

She blocked the highways of the Land with it.

Because of her, the black-headed people …….

She said: “I will search everywhere for the man who had intercourse with me”.

But nowhere could she find the man who had intercourse with her.”

231-238 His father replied to the boy; his father replied to Cu-kale-tuda:

“My son, you should join the city-dwellers, your brothers.

Go at once to the black-headed people, your brothers!

Then this woman will not find you among the mountains.”

He joined the city-dwellers, his brothers all together.

He went at once to the black-headed people, his brothers, and the woman did not find him among the mountains.

            (Utu the Sun god)

239-255 When day had broken and Utu had risen,

the women inspected herself closely, holy Inanna inspected herself closely.

“Ah, who will compensate me?

Ah, who will pay (?) for what happened to me?

Should it not be the concern of my own father, Enki?”

              (Enki’s house in Eridu)

Holy Inana directed her steps to the abzu of Eridug and,

because of this, prostrated herself on the ground before him and stretched out her hands to him:

 (“modern man” & his fashioner, Enki, wisest of gods)

“Father Enki, I should be compensated!

What’s more, someone should pay (?) (1 ms. has instead: make up) for what happened to me!

I shall only re-enter my shrine E-ana satisfied after you have handed over that man to me from the abzu.”

Enki said “All right!” to her. He said “So be it!” to her.

With that holy Inanna went out from the abzu of Eridug.

She stretched herself like a rainbow across the sky and reached thereby as far as the earth.

She let the south wind pass across, she let the north wind pass across.

From fear, (1 ms. adds: solitary) Cu-kale-tuda tried to make himself as tiny as possible,

but the woman had found him among the mountains.

256-261 Holy Inanna now spoke to Cu-kale-tuda:

“How ……? …… dog ……! …… ass ……! …… pig ……!”

262-281 Cu-kale-tuda replied to holy Inanna:

“My lady (?), I was to water garden plots and build the installation for a well among the plants,

but not a single plant remained there, not even one: I had pulled them out by their roots and destroyed them.

Then what did the stormwind bring?

It blew the dust of the mountains into my eyes.

When I tried to wipe the corner of my eyes with my hand, I got some of it out, but was not able to get all of it out.

I raised my eyes to the lower land, and saw the exalted gods of the land where the sun rises.

 (King Anu hovering above in his sky-disc)

I raised my eyes to the highlands, and saw the exalted gods of the land where the sun sets.

I saw a solitary ghost. I recognized a solitary god by her appearance.

I saw someone who possesses fully the divine powers (alien advanced technologies).

I was looking at someone whose destiny was decided by the gods.

In that plot — had I not approached it three or six hundred times before? — there stood a single shady tree at that place.

The shady tree was a Euphrates poplar with broad shade.

 (Inanna with her 8-pointed star symbol of Venus, 8th planet seen when entering into our solar system)

I had intercourse with her and kissed her there.

Then I went back to beside my plot.”

290-310 When he had spoken thus to her, …… hit ……. …… added (?) ……. …… changed (?) him …….

She (?) determined his destiny ……, holy Inanna spoke to Cu-kale-tuda:

“So! You shall die! What is that to me?

Your name, however, shall not be forgotten.

Your name shall exist in songs and make the songs sweet.

A young singer shall perform them most pleasingly in the king’s palace.

A shepherd shall sing them sweetly as he tumbles his butter-churn.

A young shepherd shall carry your name to where he grazes the sheep.

The palace of the desert shall be your home.”
