(gods in blue)

…… She was faithfully sitting (?) on ……, admirable and full of charms.

……, the noble son — who like him can compare with An (Anu) and Enlil?

Haia (Enlil‘s father-in-law), the ……, put the holy semen into her womb.

(Enlil, Haia, Nisaba, Ninlil, & unidentified, Nisaba & spouse Haia brought down & established grains upon the Earth)

Nun-bar-ce-gunu (Nisaba) faithfully gave birth to ……, (Ninlil)

she brought her up in her …… and suckled her at her breasts full of good milk.

The …… of the young girl burgeoned, and she became full of flourishing beauty.

(Nisaba, grain goddess, instrumental alien goddess with early colonization & development of Earth)

In the …… of Nisaba, at the gate of the E-zagin, …… she stood, the object of admiration, like a tall, beautifully shaped cow.

(Enlil‘s mountain E-kur residence constructed in Nippur)

At that time Enlil had not yet been given a wife in the E-kur (Enlil‘s temple / residence in Nippur) ;

Ninlil‘s (Enlil‘s spouse) name was not yet famous in the Ki-ur.

After traveling through Sumer and to the ends of the universe, he ……;

(Uruk, residence of giant alien gods)

in his search throughout the Land, Enlil, the Great Mountain, stopped at Erec (Uruk).

(Ninlil, spouse to Enlil)

As he looked around there, he found the woman of his choice.

He approached her and, overflowing with joy, engaged her in conversation:

“I will make you perfect in a queen’s dress; after standing in the street, you will be …….

How impressed I am by your beauty, even if you are a shameless person!”

In her youthful inexperience Sud answered Enlil:

“If I want to stand proudly at our gate, who dares to give me a bad reputation?

What are your intentions?

Why have you come here?

…… from my sight!”

Others (?) had already tried to deceive ……, and made her (?) angry.

(Enlil, light haired, blue-eyed, giant alien god, Earth Colony Commander)

Enlil …… answered Sud (NInlil), …… standing closer to her:

“Come, I want to speak to you!

I will have a talk with you about your becoming my wife.

Kiss me, my lady of most beautiful eyes — the matter rests in your hands.”

But the words had barely left his mouth when, right in front of him, she went into the house.

The heart of the wise lord pounded.

He called for Nuska (Enlil‘s minister). “What is your wish?”

He gave the following instructions to him:

(stairways & ramparts to the residence of giant alien gods who lived in Uruk)

“I want you to go back to Erec (Uruk), the city of Nisaba, the city whose foundations are august.

Do not delay! Repeat to her what I am going to tell you:

“I am a young man, I have sent this message to you because of my wish:

I want to take your daughter as wife. Give me your consent.

I will send you presents in my name, …… my marriage gifts.

(blue-eyed god Enlil)

I am Enlil, the descendant, (heir) and offspring of Ancar (Anu), the noble, the lord of heaven and earth.

The name of your daughter shall become Ninlil, and all the foreign countries shall …… it.

I will present her with the Ja-jic-cua as her storehouse.

(temple / residence ruins of Enlil & Ninlil in Nippur)

I will give her the Ki-ur to be her beloved private quarters.

She shall sit (1 ms. has instead: live) with me in the E-kur, my (1 ms. has instead: the) august dais.

She shall determine fates.

She shall apportion the divine powers (alien technologies) among the Anuna (Anunnaki), the great gods.

And as for you, I will place in your hands the lives of the black-headed people.”

When you get there, let the woman I have chosen for her beauty …… her mother.

Do not go to her empty-handed, but take her some jewelry in your left hand.

Waste no time. Return with her answer quickly.”

When Nuska, the head of the assembly, had received Enlil‘s instructions, he wasted no time ……; he directed his steps to Erec (Uruk)

(Haia Enlil Nuska Nisaba)

He entered E-zagin, the residence of Nanibgal (Nisaba) and prostrated himself before Nanibgal on her dais.

…… of Enlil ……, and she (?) asked him ……:

“…… what ……?”

(Nuska speaks:) “…… Sud …….

What you have told me …….”

Then Nanibgal went on speaking flatteringly to the minister:

“Adviser, fit for his (?) king, ever observant (?)!

Who like you could give counsel daily to the Great Mountain?

How could I contest the king’s message which his slave has received?

If there is truth in what you have told me — and may there be no falsehood —

who could reject one who bestows such exceedingly great favors?

…… makes our mood and hearts happy.

Let us consider that amends have been made.

By bringing the marriage gifts and the presents in his name the insult is wiped away.

Tell him: “You shall become my son-in-law; do as you wish!”

(Enlil, Earth Colony Commander, Anu‘s son & heir to Nibiru‘s royal throne)

Tell Enlil, the Great Mountain: “Do as you wish!”

Let his sister come from her side, and she shall accompany Sud (Ninlil) from here.

(Ninhursag, Anu‘s eldest daughter, Chief Medical Science Officer for Earth Colony)

Aruru (Ninhursag) shall become Sud‘s sister-in-law: let her be shown the household.

Inform your lord thus in his august Ki-ur.

According to the instructions of her mother, she washed his hands and placed a tankard in his hands.

She received the gifts …….

He …… directed his steps to Nibru (Nippur, a bond / command post between Heaven & Earth).

Nanibgal, the mother-in-law of Enlil, the woman who had been slandered, was treated kindly by Nuska (?)

(1 ms. has instead: …… the mother-in-law of Enlil, the woman …… Ezina (Ninlil) ……) —

(Nisaba her spouse Haia unidentified gods)

but the lady disregarded the flatterer, and spoke to her daughter:

“May you be Enlil‘s favorite wife (1 ms. has instead: the wife of Enlil‘s heart), and may he speak to you sweetly.

May he embrace you, the most beautiful of all, and tell you: “Beloved, open wide!”

(gods in blue)

‘I knew this day would come!’ Numbarshegunu (Nisaba) exclaimed overjoyed, hugging Ninlil affectionately.

(Nisaba / Numbarshegunu, Goddess of Grains, Master Scribe of the Anunnaki, Enlil‘s mother-in-law)

‘ May you be proud of your womanhood, may bring happiness as much as you receive,

may your body know and give pleasure in all worlds you dare to fare!

May you conceive of your womb, may you create of your own hands, mind, heart and soul!

Now, we should search for a worthy partner for you,

(royal descendants of King Anu on Earth)

Fresh as the morning the Anunnaki, the Great Gods, came out of the Duku, the Mound of Creation,

you deserve only the best young man we can find!’

(Ninlil seated, equal spouse to Enlil)

Ninlil colored softly: ‘Who will he be, Mother?’

‘We’ll see… and you will know for sure when he turns up!

Hurry, now, and wash yourself as you’ve always done so far.

Down the canal to bless the waters with the power of your first blood

and dance for the sheer joy of being young, woman and goddess!

(Sky Lord Anu & Lord Air / Enlil, Earth Colony Commander, traversing the skies of Sumer)

Just be very careful where you thread upon, for I’ve heard young Enlil, Lord Air,

comes often to the canal and the riverbank to kiss the fertile lands with the power of his breath that makes everything grow.

(Haia, Ninurta, Enlil asks for hand of Ninlil, & Nisaba)

Indeed, Enlil could be the best choice for you, dearest, but he should ask your hand first to me and your father Haia‘.

(Enlil, King Anu‘s son & heir to 1-world-order planet Nibiru, & its colonies)

‘Mother, if he is so special, tell me more about young Enlil‘.

‘Enlil is Lord Wind, the Master of Air and the Strongest Winds.

(Skyfather Anu in his sky-disc with sons Enki & Enlil)

He is the First Born of An (Anu) the Sky and Ki (Antu) the Earth, the First Breath of the Universe.

(Nippur ruins, Enlil‘s patron city excavated 1967, etc.)

It is in the courtyard of his temple, the E-kur (Enlil‘s temple- residence in NIppur),

that the Assembly of the Anunnaki, the Great Gods, gather to judge the cases that affect the destiny of the land,

it is by his Will that the scepter of kingship is conferred to the fair and strong kings to rule over the earth.

Enlil also laid plans to bring forth seeds, plants, trees and abundance to the earth.

His was the Inspiration to fashion the pickaxe and the hoe so that humankind could work the ground. (6,000 year old depiction of our solar system with 10 planets, Moon, & Sun, all in proper position, Nibiru is 12th star, a time in history when mankind was 1st given their burdensome workloads)

(Ninurta leads giant mixed-breed shepherd-worker to Enlil, who told earthlings to learn to use the plow)

His is the Power of Spring to create life,

His are the Storms to Destroy what Must Be No More.

He is also about your age, my sweet, and hasn’t found the Right Lady to release his seed as yet.

I hope she is going to be you, but don’t make things easy for him’.’

Mother, if Enlil (Earth Colony Commander) is such a great lord, how will he notice me?’

‘Who wouldn’t notice you, dearest?’ countered Numbarshegunu softly.

She gave to Ninlil the exquisite mirror which rested on her bedside table.

‘Look at yourself in the mirror, Ninlil, what do you see?

No, don’t answer me now.

Think of that image and rejoice.

You are yourself, unique and very special.

As we all are, but many times just don’t realize.

And don’t forget the most important…’

‘Which is?’

‘You are my daughter! What else did you expect me to say?

So on your way, young lady, to do your first duty as a woman in full power of her womanhood!

Go bless the waters and the fields!’

‘Who are you? I haven’t met you yet and I know all who live in my city’.

“My city?” So she had bumped into Lord Enlil himself.

As befitting to her and his station, she bowed graciously and introduced herself.

‘I lend you graces, my Lord. My name is Ninlil, a newcomer to your domains.

I am the daughter of Haia, Lord of the Stores and Numbarshegunu, the Goddess of Barley.

We came in reply to your call to help you build this great city and to ensure

(Enlil with plow, Haia-barley god, his spouse Nisaba-grain goddess, their daughter Ninlil, & unidentified, when the gods did the work, Nisaba & spouse Haia brought down seeds & developed grains upon the Earth, Enlil farming in the “Eden”)

with our work that the land bear fruits for the forthcoming harvest..

How may I better serve you, Great One?’

‘I would like very much to taste your lips, my lady!

Will you give me a kiss, Ninlil?

As a Breeze I touched your lips, I played with your pretty dress.

As a man I long to taste your mouth, your tongue and feel the sweetness of your body.

Come to my arms, Ninlil, surrender to delights we both could share!’

‘You are too great for me, my lord. I am too young. I have never known a man.

My vagina is too narrow, my mouth still untutored. Choose another one!‘

‘Wait! Come back over here now!

Why are you running away? Nusku!

Where in the Skyfather‘s name are you hiding?’

‘So he is angry! With me or himself… or both?’

‘Coming my lord! What’s upsetting you?

You told me to keep out of sight!’

‘It’s a girl, damn her! Ninlil is her name.

She dared to give me the slip.

But I’ll come after her!

Quick, Nusku, find me a raft so that I can chase her in the canal.

Never before was I refused anything.

I’ll have her, no matter what!

‘Your wish is my command, my lord.

I’ll go to the quay and see what I can find’.

(alien gods traveling & shipping goods up-river)

(Ninlil Enlil Nusku)

‘She can’t stay underwater long. I must have her!

What woman have I offered myself before her? None!’

‘You shall have her, my lord. Trust me’.

(giant alien gods using the waterways long ago)

Ninlil slid among the high reeds, but the raft was quickly approaching.

She kept very quiet. Her chances to escape, though, were scarce.

Against Enlil‘s and Nusku‘s combined strengths and the raft, she could only hope they gave up the pursuit.

‘There, my lord, in between the reeds!’

‘I really made it! My seed is inside you! Ninlil, o Lady!’ ‘Ninlil, my Lady, wait!’

‘Never before was a daughter (granddaughter by way of Enki) of An,

a Maiden of the Holy House so ill-treated by one of the Anunnaki.

The waters of Mother Nammu (Enki‘s mother, not Enlil‘s), the Source of Life, were defiled by one of her own.

May you stand trial, Enlil, for what you did to me.

May you pay a very dear price for the brightness of your seed!’

‘ Two grave crimes were committed by one of the great gods.

First, a Maiden, a daughter of the Holy House suffered the most unspeakable offense

that could have ever been inflicted upon her.

Secondly, and related to the first offense, the sacredness of the sexual act,

Life-Force and Energy that Moves Creation and perpetuates all lines through the Times was completely neglected.

My heart bleeds for the accused, my (Antu‘s) first-born Enlil,

but it bleeds even more for my daughter (granddaughter) Ninlil.

The Assembly was called upon to decide the punishment for the wrongdoer.

For no one, not even the gods, are above the Law!

Let’s hear the accuser’s defense for his act.’

Enlil bowed low to his father and the Assembly, and spoke, his voice deep and constrained:

‘Before this very day never had I felt such a strong desire for a Maiden.

Before this very day never had I felt so drawn to a lady of the Holy House.

Before this very day never had I known passion as I did and still do for Ninlil‘.

‘Is that all you have to say to the Assembly?

Is your defense based on just desire and passion?’, asked Ki (Ninhursag) to Enlil, her voice sharp as a razor.

(young Ninhursag, Enlil‘s 1/2 sister, & mother to Ninurta – Enlil‘s son & heir)

‘Yes’, replied Enlil, clearly in discomfort.

Ninhursag–Ki’s (Enlil‘s ½ sister) anger was so evident that she dismissed Enlil with a wave or her mighty hand.

She turned then to the Assembly:

‘It is right to feel desire and expected that a young god feels drawn to a Maiden of the Holy House.

Above all, it is expected that they come together at the right time and season in the Sacred Marriage rite.

This is the way the Sacredness of Life is celebrated among us,

from Mother Nammu (Enki‘s mother) the Sea who in an act of selfless Self-Love

(Skyfather Anu in his sky-disc, King of the giant alien Anunnaki gods)

engendered the Skyfather (Anu) who the Assembly presides and myself as the Cosmic Mountain Ki (Ninhursag).

It is understandable impetuousness and confusion in dealing with such matters of the flesh,

for the young need time to understand that matter, spirit,

feeling and mind are but Representations of the Mystery of Creation.

Indeed, we all stem from and are one with the Source, and we the Great Gods are but Reflections of the One.

Ninlil and Enlil are both very young.

But like a stallion waits for the right time to court the mare,

like a lion is drawn to the lioness, so it is with young god and goddess.

Only when are ready and fully aware of the Mystery they will re-enact in the Sacred Marriage Bed.

So has it always been. So will it always be!

This is the law, and anything that violates this precept hurts the Spirit,

the Inner Fabric upon which our civilization was formed.

The law shall be preserved!’ ‘

The law shall be preserved!’ repeated in agreement the Assembly.

‘The accused has spoken,’ said Ki, then turning to Ninlil.

‘Let’s hear the victim. Daughter, would you like to address to the Assembly?’

Ninlil stood up and graciously bowed to the judges.

She was a sight to behold, young, eyes swollen with tears,

yet showing profound dignity as befitted to an Anunnaki princess:

‘Nothing can undo what was done to me.

For above all, now I bear Enlil‘s first seed.

A child of light is growing inside my womb, a little one conceived out of immature desire on both sides.

I claim my child as Enlil‘s first born-to-be (on earth with Ninlil).

To the Assembly gathered here I demand the punishment of my rapist so that never again

a daughter or son suffer the hideous act of violence I was subjected to.

As for me, to the Great Gods my fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters here today,

I the Maiden ask: can love grow out of such pain to ensoul my life’s further journey?’

‘ Ninlil!’, was Enlil‘s strangled moan in the profound silence that followed Ninlil‘s statement.

(E.A. / Enki / Nudummud / Poseidon / Neptune / Aquarius, King Anu‘s eldest & wisest son)

It was Enki, lord of Wisdom, Magic and of the Sweet Waters, son of An the Sky and Nammu (Enki‘s mother) the Sea,

brother to Enlil, who answered thoughtfully after some time:

‘Sorrow and pain are the measures of the happiness and laughter that could be.

Healing can always occur, if one is ready to see truth and wholeness beyond the hardest trials.’

‘Is it too late for me to take Ninlil as my wife?’ interrupted Enlil, turning to the Assembly.

He turned then to Ninlil. He knelt graciously in front of her.

‘Will you accept me as your true husband, Ninlil?

Nothing can undo what was done, and I deserve the hardest punishment for my act,

but I am also honor-bound to set balances right for what I did to you, my Lady, and my seed.

I’ll do more than marrying you,

Ninlil, because let it be known that from now on I’ll share my power with you,

Lady Air, so that you can become my true Soul-Counterpart everywhere we dare to fare’.

(giants Nisaba, Enlil, & his spouse Ninlil with a semi-divine king)

‘The possibility of marriage is only a first act to set balances right.

But it does not absolve the culprit.

Enlil‘s impiety struck at roots far deeper than that.

Enlil made himself a Guardian of the Earth, to guard, love and protect first his mother and all women,

who are garments of my Beloved Ki (Antu sometimes, Ninhursag sometimes).

Enlil himself forbade violence all over the land, all that lies in the South, North, West and East.

He kept in the wilderness the quarreling beasts.

But now he has brought violence in.

He broke the sacred trust we gave him.

All I say is that Sky rejects you now’.

‘The Earth rejects you now’, said Ki.

‘So be it! The Assembly rejects you now!’ echoed the judges.

‘Where should I then go?’, asked stunned Enlil.

Until you set balances right, until you travel unknown depths, you cannot go back to us.

There is only one place you are bound to go.

To the Land of No Return, the Underworld‘.

‘So be it!’ agreed the Assembly.

‘But I don’t know the way to the Underworld‘, said Enlil, still trying to avoid his fate.

(Ninlil followed Enlil into the Underworld)

‘There is a door to the Underworld in every soul to set balances right and change.

The moment you forced yourself unto the young Lady you found that door.

Let’s see whether you can get in and pay the price for your return.

Now you are the doorkeeper of the Great Below‘, said Enki.

‘Lord Enki,’ she asked, ‘is my lord gone?’

‘Yes, Ninlil, he is gone.

We hope it is for the time being, until he learns a deep lesson,

until he pays the price for what he did to you and all Creation’, Enki answered softly, bowing to her.

(door to the Underworld / Lower World / Nether World / Hades, realm of Ereshkigal)

‘Enlil has just crossed the threshold to the Underworld.’

Ninlil kept silence for a little while, as if gathering all her strength to do what she should.

‘I’ll follow my lord to the bowels of the earth’, she said out loud.

‘And beyond if need be”, she thought to herself.

As these words came out, she too vanished from the assembly.

‘Go back, my lady. The door to the Underworld is closed to you’.

‘I have a question for you, Keeper of the Gates.

Did you see my Lord Enlil come this way?’

The eyes of the gatekeeper gleamed:

‘This way is barred to you.

My Lord Enlil commanded me to stay silent’.

Ninlil smiled: ‘ So I may not be that far behind him.

You must let me in. I am Enlil‘s Lady. Open the gate for me’.

‘Lord Enlil commanded me not to allow you to follow him.

It is too risky. But I did dry the tears on my Lord’s face.

I did try to soothe his heart.

If you are Ninlil, his lady, let me feel your cheek,

let me touch you and swear my loyalty on them to Enlil‘.

‘The seed of your lord grows within me.

If Enlil is your Master, then I am your Lady.

By my power, by the Beloved of mine you serve, let me in. Now’.

‘O Lady, may my royal seed go to heaven, may my royal seed go to the underworld.

Please, my lady, lay with me.

Let not the seed of the Bright One descend to the Underworld.

Let my seed take his place’.

Ninlil looked sternly at the gatekeeper:

‘Why are you doing this, gatekeeper?

Why are you giving your seed to replace my lord’s?

And why would I accept such high ransom?’

She could feel the shyness and reluctance of the gatekeeper to open up to her.

But she was patient.

Somehow she had seen through the disguise who he actually was.

“Enlil, stop pretending and let me in so that we can descend together.

Why the disguise?

Have the Winds of Change started to blow within your heart?

(Anunnaki Royal Prince Enlil on his throne in Nippur, Earth Colony Command Central)

Show me who you are, Enlil.

It’s me, Ninlil, your Soul-Counterpart.”

‘Lady, I offer my seed to replace my lord’s out of love and sorrow

for the offense my lord committed in the Worlds Above.

He should have known better before using his force and hurt the one who is now closest to his very heart.

I am pledged to serve Enlil and ransom him with my very life.

The deep sorrow I feel for the lord is now rooted within my Self like a Tree that Bears Fruits in the Lowest Depths.

So lay with me, lady of my lord’s heart, give me your embrace and touch to quench my lonely night.

And I’ll let you go in, for you’ll have this way given consolation to my Wandering Soul.’

“Beloved, why?” her heart asked,

As they laid in a close embrace in the aftermath, he whispered into her hair.

‘I need to go. Turn back,

(Ninlil fights to save Enlil from the “Land of No Return“)

Ninlil, don’t cross the threshold to the Below’.

‘Have you crossed it?’ she asked instead, raising her head to meet his light sky-blue eyes.

The Gatekeeper’s eyes reflected such deep sadness, the arms around Ninlil‘s tensed,

but the Gatekeeper’s voiced sounded strong and committed. To what?

‘Yes. I had to. And now I need to go on’.

‘This seed of yours that grows within me now,

(Nergal, warrior god, Lord of the Under World, spouse to Ereshkigal)

I’ll call him Nergal-Meslamtaea (a son of Enlil‘s in this text), and his will be the knowledge of the hard mysteries

of Conflict, Wounding and Diseases so that humanity and the gods know about Peace, Healing and Wholeness in all levels.’

‘But I also need to be on my way,’ Ninlil continued, her voice acquiring a decisive tone.

‘ Release me, Gatekeeper. I’ve paid your price.

As Enlil is your master, I am your lady.

I am not asking your leave. I will get in. Now.’

‘So be it’, the Gatekeeper replied.

“I’ll follow the course of the river and see what lies around the river bank.

There may be a bridge or a crossing point somewhere.

I just need to be persistent and walk with great care.

I’ll find a way cross the cataract … wherever it is!” reasoned Ninlil.

“No, I won’t give up. I’ve gone too far now to stop”, she reasoned with her fear.

“I fear the failure of not being able to rescue Enlil and myself.

Is my fear like a devouring river, consuming my soul, my wits, my body and my heart?

It can’t be. Or perhaps it can. But there is power where there is fear.

And where our deepest fears are, there is also the source of healing,

if one keeps one’s wits steady enough to see through the darkest hours.

If Enlil came this way, I’ll know.

I just need to gather my strength and be like a steady wind circling the world round.

Somewhere, somehow a passageway will be found’.

A throaty voice called from behind: ‘Go back, lady. You may not cross the Devouring River’.

“Tell me first, has my Lord Enlil come this way?’

‘My Lord Enlil commanded me to be silent’.

‘So have you answered me. Enlil came this way.

How did he cross the river?’

‘He wept for grief in my arms,

I touched him and carried my Lord over the cataract and the stepping stones of the Underworld‘.

‘What you have done for him, you must do for me.

I am Ninlil, Lord Enlil‘s Queen’.

‘If you are Ninlil, Lord Enlil‘s Queen, let me touch your face, let me touch your body and swear my loyalty on it to Enlil‘.

‘The seed of your lord grows within me.

By my power, by Enlil you serve, carry me over the river. Now’.

‘O Lady, let my royal seed go to heaven, let my royal seed go to the Underworld.

Let my seed plunge lone into the Great Devouring River as a gift to Queen Ereshkigal. Lie with me as well!’

(Ereshkigal in her Lower World domain)

‘Why are you doing this, Guardian of the Devouring River?

Why are you giving your seed to replace my lord’s? And why would I accept such offer?’

‘I offer my seed to replace my lord’s out of love and my will to heal his troubled heart,

as well as to heal the wounds he inflicted to you, my Lady, by his unspeakable behavior.

I am pledged to serve Enlil and ransom him with my very life.

I’ve known my lord all my life, but only by carrying him over the devouring river.

I’ve come face to face with mysteries unknown to me so far.

By facing the violence of the rushing waters,

I faced the side of my lord that is like a storm, a restless, destructive force.

By plunging into the rushing waters I then learnt of the responsibility to heal inflicted violence and wounds,

to resurface with the wisdom of dried tears.

It is as if I had become a Water-Knower.

Lay with me, lady Air, and share a night of passion by the cataract.

I need your care to guide me through this lonely night’.

‘Will you carry me afterwards, as you did… to Enlil?’

‘Yes’. ‘This seed of yours, I’ll call him Ninazu (a son of Enlil‘s in this text),

the Water-Knower, Lord of the Depths that Heal.

(Bau‘s son Dr. Damu with ill patient, Bau, her guard dog, & spouse Ninurta; medical treatment administered by giant alien gods thousands of years ago on Earth)

His will be the knowledge to wound too, because healing and wounding are two sides of the same coin.

Now, lord of the Devouring River, fulfill your part of our contract.

Take me to the other side of the Devouring River’.

‘It is too dangerous, my lady’ .

‘Can Enlil be ransomed otherwise?’

‘No’. ‘I’ve paid your fee. Carry me’.

“Who follows whom, Beloved?”

“Better to be on my way… “

‘Enlil, have you come this way?’ Ninlil asked ‘Who calls the ferryman of the Great Below?’

‘Has my lord Enlil taken passage with you recently?’

‘I cannot answer this question, for I am commanded to silence’.

‘So he did come this way.

How did he manage to conquer your graces so that you could ferry him across?’

‘Lord Enlil wept for grief in my arms, I touched him and rowed my Lord to the other side’.

‘What you have done for him, you must do for me.

I am Ninlil, Lord Enlil‘s Queen’.

‘If you are Ninlil, Lord Enlil‘s Queen, let me touch your face,

let me touch your body and swear my loyalty on it to Enlil‘.

‘The seed of your lord grows within me.

By my power, by the Beloved of mine you serve, let me in your boat and ferry me across.

Now’. ‘O Lady, let my royal seed go to heaven, let my royal seed go to the Underworld.

Please Lady, let my seed dive into the waters of the Underworld Sea as a gift to Queen Ereshkigal.

Lie with me as well, my Lady”.

‘Why are you doing this, ferryman?

Why are you giving your seed to replace my lord’s?

And why would I accept such offer?’

‘Lady, I offer my seed to replace my lord’s out of love

and my will to bring comfort and kindness to his troubled mind, body and heart.

I am pledged to serve Enlil and ransom him with my very life.

I’ve known my lord all my life, but only by rowing him over the lifeless,

still waters of the Underworld sea I’ve come to realize the stuff life is made of: love and connection,

boundless energy and the will to give of oneself to the world and to the beloved within and without.

My lord wants to give of himself in a much deeper level although he doesn’t know how.

I’ve felt his need to bond and yet the fear of being let down.

I changed by ferrying him over the sea.

So lay with me, lady Air, and share with me all the passion that you have locked inside.

I need your loving touch to ensoul and guide me through this lonely night.

Please, Lady, once you laid on a raft under the skies.

Will you enter my boat now in the Great Below?’

Ninlil prodded further: ‘ I was not invited to the raft under the skies.

Are you asking me to accept your offer out of my own free will?’

She could feel the intense emotion gripping the ferryman.

Had she touched the core of the tornado?

And could she ride the storm afterwards?

‘Tell me, ferryman, in your own words. Why would I accept to lay with you?’

‘Out of love. Love that you feel for lord Enlil‘.

(Ninlil, equal spouse to Enlil)

“Was that so difficult, Beloved?” Ninlil asked him silently, and said out loud:

‘And for the love that I have for myself and the future we can have together

if I succeed to bring him back to the Heights Above.

I couldn’t love Enlil the extent I do if I didn’t know my mind, body, heart and soul.

He is the closest that I found to my heart’s desire, although at that time I wasn’t ready to tell him so.

I just wonder when he is going to come to terms with his Lover within so that he can acknowledge me

without as his Beloved as well as his Queen.

For all these reasons, ferryman, I take up your offer’.

‘I’ll call this seed of yours Ennugi, Lord of the Sexual Parts’, said Ninlil when intercourse was over.

She kissed the ferryman in the mouth.

‘His challenge will be to go beyond physical release, his gift will be Seduction, Laughter, Intimacy and Play.

His duty will be to be Responsible for whom he captivates.

He will be Energy and Passion seasoned with Creativity in all worlds he dares to fare’.

‘Your surprise me, my Lady’.

She knew there was a smile in his voice.

‘Fulfill your part of the contract, ferryman.

I need to go to the other side.

If I need to ransom mine and Enlil‘s life to have a future, I want to start building this future as soon as possible’.

‘Who has come unasked to the Great Below? ‘

Who has dared to come unannounced? ‘

Who has crossed the threshold of the Land of No Return?’

‘I lend graces to the Guardians of the Underworld and to Almighty Ereshkigal, Queen of the Great Below.

(Ereshkigal, undisputed giant Queen of the location in the “Great Below“)

I am called Ninlil, a Maiden of the Holy House of An, daughter of Haia,

(Nisaba Enlil unidentified Haia Ninlil, royal gods of grains)

God of the Stores and of the Barley Goddess Numbarshegunu (Nisaba).

I came alone and of my own free will to the Land of No Return to intercede for the life of my lord, Enlil, the Air god,

who was sent to the Underworld because of a grave offense he did to myself.

I therefore very humbly request an audience with the Lady of the Great Place.

May the Dark Lady receive also in advance my respects and deepest praises!’

(Under World scene, Ereshkigal, naked Inanna, & Namtar)

‘Sukkal Namtar (Ereshkigal‘s son), the young woman from the Worlds Above

requests to be seen by the Great Queen,’ provided Neti (the gatekeeper).

‘Since you’ve come this far, it is fitting that you are given the chance to see Queen …

and see whether you can conquer her graces!

Follow me,’ Namtar answered after a time that looked like eternity.

‘I need to ask you again, my lady, is it your will to get into the domains of the Great Queen Ereshkigal?’

asked quietly Namtar.

‘If my lord Enlil is in there’.

‘He is’.

‘So it is my will to go in’.

‘You were warned’.

‘Why have you come unasked to the Land of No Return?’

‘Great Lady, I came to ask you for the life of my lord Enlil,

who was sent to you because of a grave offense he did to me.

(Ninlil, equal spouse to Earth Colony Commander Enlil)

I am Ninlil, his Lady, who bears also his seeds.

And.. there is something else too…’

‘Which is?’

‘I… I would like to understand what has been going on so far, since the Descent to the Land of No Return for us started.

For I suspect there is great healing in what we’ve experienced so far.’

(Ereshkigal seated upon her throne at her ziggurat located in the Under World)

Ereshkigal didn’t reply, and asked on: ‘Why are you interceding for the life of Enlil, if he did harm to you?’

‘Enlil was violent and clumsy, but I didn’t fare much better either. With him and myself.

But I believe we both learnt a great deal and need the chance of a future together.

I ask you for a future, my lady.

For Enlil and me and our seed, the baby of light, in the Worlds Above.’

‘On what grounds do you say that Enlil learnt a lesson?

How do you know that he satisfied the Law of Balance and made up for his wrongdoing?’, queried implacably Ereshkigal.

‘I believe Enlil might have learnt a lesson because of the strange, intense meetings with the gatekeeper first,

then the guardian of the devouring river and finally with the ferryman of the Underworld sea.

They were Enlil in disguise, weren’t they?’

‘Somehow I could see it was him behind each Guardian of a Threshold I had to thread upon.

I wondered why he was there each time in disguise…’

(unidentified, Ninlil, & Ereshkigal)

‘Go on’, urged Ereshkigal, her tone of command could not be denied.

‘Because… because we were both thresholds to each other.

Enlil confronted his worst nightmares at each time we met and he was in disguise.

He saw the true colors of conflict and grief at the city gate, wounding and healing in the Devouring River,

loneliness and connection in the depths of the Underworld sea.

But there is more to it. Having been hurt by Enlil, I was his most difficult threshold.

On my side…I had to learn to see through him, understand his Quest and my role in it.’

Tears started streaming down her face.

Ninlil dried them with an impatient wave of her hand.

‘This is the reason why he never told me who he was at each threshold. He simply couldn’t.

You inflicted a mighty test of humility to the proudest of the young Gods, my lady.

He had to come to me and beg for love, risking rejection, but trying anyway.

I wonder whether he realized all this.

And I… I had to go beyond my girlish dreams of a fancy lover to accept the god and the man in his totality.

(giant alien Anunnaki seeds)

(Nergal) (Nannar) (Adad)

And his seeds…’ ‘The three seeds of mine and Enlil‘s I had to take them into my body and heal us three.

And now, my Lady, I understand your Great Mission and my heart is filled with awe before you.’

‘Why?’ was the question, issued in a much different tone this time.

‘Because only You and your Realm are the Keepers of Regeneration, Inner Beauty and Self-Transcendence.

Only the Mighty Ereshkigal, the Judge, Keeper of the Ancestral Land and Mistress of Balance holds the Keys

to solve Conflicts and Wars, knows the Depths of Healing and Wounding and understands Life,

Love and Connection because She is Life after Life, the One that gives Rebirth hopefully in a higher sphere, if we pass Her tests.

Lady, I lend you graces with all my body, mind, heart and Soul..

For only You are the focal point above all dualities, the Center that Sees ALL, Knows and Heals’.

(An / Anu, King of the Anunnaki from planet Nibiru, father to sons of god on Earth Colony)

‘Daughter of An, beyond your tears you’ve learnt to see, feel and act so it is fitting that now look at me!’

‘You’ve traveled far and well, Ninlil.

Now, off to the Great Above you should go.

At the right time and season, you’ll come back to Me, to give birth to the three seeds

that should return to the Inner Womb of the Universe.

Now that they were created, the seeds of Conflict and War,

Healing and Wounding, Loneliness and Love can hurt as much as they can heal.

Everything will depend on one’s choices, and I can do no more than to Keep Watch and Guard

so that the Laws of Balance prevail in the end.

The fourth seed when it is due, may it ascend to the heavens with my blessings to grow

and wane for twenty-seven nights in a never-ending cycle.

On the 29th night, though, it will disappear from the Worlds Above to join My Lights in the Underworld.

At the end of the 29th night it will then return to the Heights in Waxing Glow.

Call yours and Enlil‘s (1^{st together}) baby Nanna (Nannar), the Light of the Night,

(Nanna / Nannar, Enlil‘s son, patron god of Ur, his is the Moon Crescent symbol, found today in Islam)

the Brightness that will teach humanity to count time,

the Moon that Waxes into Fullness and Wanes in all Worlds, always to Return.’

‘Great Lady, I lend you graces.’

‘In the assembly of the Gods gathered to judge Enlil, I also heard your lament in a form of a question.

You asked whether love could grow out of pain to ensoul your life’s further journey. Can it really, Ninlil?’

‘Yes’, she affirmed, ‘ but only if one is able to see truth and wholeness beyond the hardest trials.’

‘So what are you waiting for, Ninlil, to rescue your reluctant Lord to the Heights Above?

(Enlil leaves the Under World)

Off with both of you from my realms!’

He alone is the prince of heaven, the dragon of the earth.

The lofty god of the Anunna himself determines the fates.

No god can look upon him.

(Ninlil on shore, Enlil, & their son Nusku)

His great minister and commander Nusku learns his commands and his intentions from him,

consults with him and then executes his far-reaching instructions on his behalf.

He prays to him with holy prayers and divine powers (alien technologies).

Without the Great Mountain Enlil, no city would be built, no settlement would be founded;

no cow-pen would be built, no sheepfold would be established;

no king would be elevated, no lord would be given birth;

no high priest or priestess would perform extispicy; soldiers would have no generals or captains;

no carp-filled waters would …… the rivers at their peak;

the carp would not …… come straight up from the sea, they would not dart about.

The sea would not produce all its heavy treasure, no freshwater fish would lay eggs in the reedbeds,

no bird of the sky would build nests in the spacious land; in the sky the thick clouds would not open their mouths;

on the fields, dappled grain would not fill the arable lands, vegetation would not grow lushly on the plain;

in the gardens, the spreading trees of the mountain would not yield fruits.

Without the Great Mountain, Enlil, Nintud (Ninhursag) would not kill, she would not strike dead;

(Ninhursag, Anu‘s daughter, Enlil‘s 1/2 sister, Chief Medical Scientist)

no cow would drop its calf in the cattle-pen, no ewe would bring forth …… lamb in its sheepfold;

the living creatures which multiply by themselves would not lie down in their ……;

the four-legged animals would not propagate, they would not mate.

Enlil, your ingenuity takes one’s breath away!

By its nature it is like entangled threads which cannot be unraveled, crossed threads which the eye cannot follow.

Your divinity can be relied on.

You are your own counselor and adviser, you are a lord on your own.

Who can comprehend your actions

No divine powers are as resplendent as yours.

No god can look you in the face.

(Enlil, heir to planet Nibiru with their One-World-Order, & Commander of Earth Colony)

You, Enlil, are lord, god, king.

You are a judge who makes decisions about heaven (planet Nibiru) and earth (colony).

(Gates of Heaven / Planet Nibiru to Lord Anu, & winged eagle-headed pilots)

Your lofty word is as heavy as heaven, and there is no one who can lift it.

The Anunna (Anunnaki alien) gods…… at your word.

Your word is weighty in heaven, a foundation on the earth.

In the heavens, it is a great ……, reaching up to the sky.

On the earth it is a foundation which cannot be destroyed.

When it relates to the heavens, it brings abundance: abundance will pour from the heavens (supplies to Earth).

When it relates to the earth, it brings prosperity: the earth will produce prosperity.

(Enlil, father-in-law Haia, mother-in-law Nisaba, equal spouse Ninlil, & unidentified)

Your word means flax, your word means grain.

Your word means the early flooding, the life of the lands.

It makes the living creatures, the animals which copulate and breathe joyfully in the greenery.

You, Enlil, the good shepherd, know their ways. …… the sparkling stars.

(Ninlil, Enlil‘s equal in authority spouse)

You married Ninlil, the holy consort, whose words are of the heart,

her of noble countenance in a holy ma garment, her of beautiful shape and limbs, the trustworthy lady of your choice.

Covered with allure, the lady who knows what is fitting for the E-kur ,

whose words of advice are perfect, whose words bring comfort like fine oil for the heart,

(giant gods Adad, father Enlil & mother Ninlil)

who shares the holy throne, the pure throne with you, she takes counsel and discusses matters with you.

You decide the fates together (equal rulers) at the place facing the sunrise.

Ninlil, the lady of heaven and earth, the lady of all the lands, is honored in the praise of the Great Mountain.

Prominent one whose words are well established, whose command and support are things which are immutable,

whose utterances take precedence, whose plans are firm words, Great Mountain, father Enlil, your praise is sublime.

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

The gods sorted out their responsibilities when:

“The gods had clasped hands together,…”

Had cast lots and had divided.

“Anu then went up to Heaven;

To Enlil the Earth was made subject.

The seas, enclosed as with a loop,

They had given to Enki, the Prince of Earth …”

Another version, Akkadian states:

“The gods clasped their hands together, then cast lots and divided:

Anu to heaven went up;

To Enlil the Earth was made subject;

That which the sea as a loop encloses, they gave to the prince Enki.

To the Abzu Enki went down, assumed the rulership of the Abzu…”

A praise to Enlil:

“In Heaven–he is the Prince; on Earth–he is the Chief…”

“Enlil, Whose command is far reaching;

Whose “word” is lofty and holy;

Whose pronouncement is unchangeable;

Who decrees destinies unto the distant future…. “

“The Gods of Earth bow down willingly before him;

The Heavenly gods who are on Earth Humble themselves before him;

They stand by faithfully, according to instructions… “

“ENLIL, tea Lord who decided to produce what is useful

ENLIL, tea Lord whose decisions are immutable,

imagined the separate Sky from the Earth

When the Sky had been placed far away from the Earth (Ki)

When Earth tea had been separated from Sky tea

When the name of Man had been found,

When AN (Anu) had brought down the Sky

When ENLIL had gathered the ground…

ENLIL germinated the ground with the seed of the country…”

Enlil was Anu’s heir-apparent, above all other gods.

“No cities would be built, no settlements founded;

No stalls would be built, no sheepfolds erected;

No king would be raised, no high priest born…”

“Enlil, When you marked off divine settlements on Earth,

Nippur you set up as your very own city.

The city of Earth, the lofty,

Your pure place whose water is sweet.

You founded the Dur-An-Ki (bond heaven-earth)

In the center of the four corners of the world…”

Another version states:

“He perfected the procedures, the divine ordinances;

Established five cities in perfect places,

Called them by name,

Laid them out as centers.

The first of these cities, Eridu,

He granted to Nudimmud (Enki), the pioneer…”

A Sumerian psalm states:

“Lord who knows the destiny of the Land, trustworthy in his calling;

Enlil who knows the destiny of Sumer, trustworthy in his calling;

Father Enlil, Lord of all the lands;

Father Enlil, Lord of the Rightfull Command;

Father Enlil, Shepherd of the Black-Headed Ones….

From the Mountain of Sunrise to the Mountain of Sunset,

There is no other Lord in the land; you alone are King …”

Enlil meets the goddess who later becomes his wife. She is bathing in Nippur’s stream when:

“The shepherd Enlil who decrees the fates,

The Bright-Eyed One, saw her.

The lord speaks to her of intercourse; she is unwilling.

Enlil speaks to her of intercourse;

She is unwilling:

‘My vagina is too small,

It knows no copulation;

My lips are too little,

They know not kissing.’…”

After Enlil raped her and news reach other gods, a cry rang out:

“Enlil, immoral one! Get thyself out of the city!…”

Inanna once boasted:

“Enlil himself fastened the divine ME-attire about my body…”

Enlil said to her:

“You have lifted the ME,

You have tied the ME to your hands,

You have gathered the ME,

You have attached the ME to your breast….

O Queen of all the ME, O radiant light

Who with her hand grasps the seven ME …”

Soon they too began to clamor for the slave workers, the “creatures of bright countenance” but with thick black hair:

“The Anunnaki stepped up to Enlil...

Black-headed Ones they were requesting of him,

To the Black-headed people to give the pickaxe to hold…”

Enlil ordered the expulsion of The Adam—the Earthling—from the E.Din (“The Abode of the Righteous Ones”). No longer confined to the settlements of the Anunnaki, Man began to roam the Earth.

“And Adam knew Eve his wife,

and she conceived and bore Cain…

and she bore again his brother Abel.

The gods were no longer alone on Earth…”

At one time a Sumerian king of Ur complained to the Assembly of the Gods that

“Enlil did give the kingship to a worthless man…

who is not of Sumerian seed…”

Pyramid Wars:

On one side was Ninurta, Adad, and soon joined by Sin, and then later on by Inanna / Ishtar; on the opposing side are listed Nergal, a god referred as the “Mighty, lofty One”–Ra / Marduk—and the “God of two Great Houses” (the two Great Pyramids of Giza), (Horus) who had tried to escape, camouflaged in a ram’s skin.

Ninhursag took the surrender offer of Enki’s to Enlil. She met him in the presence of Adad (while Ninurta remained on the battlefield). “O hear my prayers!” she begged the two gods…

“Presenting himself there, to the Mother,…”

“Adad thus said:

‘We are expecting victory.

The enemy forces are beaten.

The trembling of the land he could not withstand’…”

Adad said, let her call discussions on the basis that the Enlilites are about to win:

“Get up and go—talk to the enemy.

Let him attend the discussions so that the attack be withdrawn.”

Enlil, in less forceful language, supported the suggestion:

“Enlil opened his mouth;

In the assembly of the gods he said:

‘Whereas Anu at the mountain the gods assembled,

warfare to discourage, peace to bring,

and has dispatched the Mother of the Gods to entreat with me–

Let the Mother of the Gods be an emissary’…”

Turning to his sister (Ninhursag), he said in a conciliatory vein:

“Go, appease my brother!

Raise unto him a hand for Life;

From his barred doorway, let him come out!…”

Doing as suggested, Ninhursag

“his brother went to fetch, put her prayers before the god…”

She assured him that his safety, and that of his sons, was assured:

“by the stars she gave a sign.”

As Enki hesitated she said to him tenderly:

“Come, let me lead you out…”

“And as he did, he gave her his hand…”

She conducted him and other defenders of the Great Pyramid to the Harsag, her abode. Ninurta and his warriors watched…

We learn from the continuing ancient chronicle that Ninhursag first went with her idea of stopping the fighting and convening a peace conference to Enlil’s camp.

The Enlilite’s first reaction…was to accuse her of giving aid and comfort to the “demons”.” Ninhursag denied the accusation:

“My House is pure,…”

she answered. But a god whose identity is unclear challenged her sarcastically:

“Is the House which is loftier and brightest of all…”–

the Great Pyramid—also “pure”?

“Of that I cannot speak…”

Ninhursag answered;

“its brilliance Gibil is soldiering…”

…a ceremony of symbolic baptism making Ninhursag welcome again in Mesopotamia. Enlil touched her with his “bright scepter,” and the

“power of her was not overthrown..”

But then Enlil agreed saying to her:

“Go, appease my brother…”

Ninhursag performed a symbolic ceremony of her own. She lighted seven fires, one each for the gathered gods: Enki and his two sons: Enlil and his three sons (Ninurta, Adad, and Sin). She uttered an incantation as she lit each fire:

“A firery offering to Enlil of Nippur…

to Ninurta…

to Adad...

to Enki, coming from the Abzu…

to Nergal, coming from Meslam…”

By nightfall the place was ablaze:

“as sunlight was the great light set off by the goddess…”

Ninhursag then appealed to the wisdom of the gods and extolled the virtues of peace:

“Mighty are the fruits of the wise god;

the great divine river to his vegetation shall come…

`its overflowing will make (the land) like a garden of god…”

“Enki addressed to Enlil words of lauding:

‘O one who is foremost among the brothers,

Bull of Heaven, who the fate of Mankind holds:

In my lands, desolation is wide spread;

All the dwellings are filled with sorrow by your attacks’…”

…the territorial disputes be brought to and end and the lands rightfully belonging to the Enlilites and the people of the line of Shem be vacated by the Enkites. Enki agreed to cede forever these territories:

“I will grant thee the rulers position in the gods’ Restricted Zone;

The Radiant Place, in thy hand I will entrust! …”

In so ceding the Restricted Zone (the Sinai peninsula with its spaceport) and the Radiant Place (the site of Mission Control Center, the future Jerusalem) Enki had a firm condition…the sovereignty of Enki and his descendants over the Giza complex had to recognized for all time.

Enlil agreed but…sons of Enki who had brought about the war and used the Great Pyramid for combat…be barred from ruling over Giza…or the whole of Lower Egypt. Enki agreed.

“For the formidable House Which is Raised Like a Heap…”

he appointed the prince who is like a full-grown ibex–…and commanded him to guard the Place of Life.

“He then granted the young god the exalted title NIN.GISH.ZI.DA

(Lord of the Artifact of Life)…”

As one reads the ancient words it…laid the plans for the manner in which the lands would be settled by mankind! Enki:

“before the feet of the adversary (Enlil) laid the cities that were allotted him…”

Enlil, in turn,

“before the feet of his adversary (Enki) the land Sumer he laid out…”

…and he, Enki, was given back the site of Eridu, the hallowed place of his first Earth Station. Accepting the condition, Enlil said:

“In my land, let your abode become everlasting;

from the day that you shall come into my presence,

the laden table shall exhale delicious smells for thee.”

With all these matters settled, Enki and his sons departed for their domains.

On the apparent advise of Ninlil, Shu-Sin built for the divine couple

“a great touring boat, fit for the largest rivers…

He decorated it perfectly with precious stones.

He then placed the touring boat in the wide basin

facing Ninlil’s House of Pleasure…”

“When Enlil heard (all this)

From horizon to horizon he hurried,

From south to north he traveled;

Through the skies, over earth he hurried,

To greatly rejoice with his beloved queen, Ninlil…”

But the very last lines refer to

“Ninurta, the great warrior of Enlil, who befuddled the Intruder,…”

apparently after “an inscription, an evil inscription” was discovered on an effigy in the boat, intended perhaps to place a curse on Enlil and Ninlil.

…a total solar eclipse…the oracle priests of Nippur could not allay Shu-Suen’s anxiety; it was, they said in their written message, an omen

“to the king who rules the four regions;

his wall will be destroyed, Ur will become desolate…”

Tower of Babel Tale:

“The thoughts…”

of this god’s heart

“were evil; against the Father of the Gods (Enlil) he was wicked…”

To achieve his evil purpose

“the people of Babylon he corrupted to sin,…”

“small and great to mingle on the mound…”

As the sinful work came to the attention of

“the Lord of the Pure Mound to Heaven and on Earth spoke…

He lifted his heart to the Lord of the Gods,

Anu, his father; to receive a command his heart requested.

At that time he also lifted up (his heart? Voice?) to Damkina (Enki’s spouse)…”

She was the mother of Marduk; so all the clues point to him as the instigator…Damkina stood by his side:

“With my son I rise…”

The incomplete verse that follows has her stating that “his number” his numerical rank-status?–was at issue.

Enlil’s efforts to talk the rebellious group out of their plans, taking himself up in a Whirlwind,

“Nunamnir (Enlil) from the heaven to the earth spoke;

(but) by his path they did not go; violently they fronted against him…”

When Enlil

“saw this, to earth he descended…”

…that…

“when a stop he did not make of the gods,…”

he had no choice but to resort to force:

“To their stronghold tower, in the night, a complete end he made.

In his anger, a command he also poured out:

To scatter abroad was his decision,

He gave a command their counsels to confuse….their course he stopped…”

The ancient Mesopatamian scribe ended the tale of the Tower of Babel with a bitter memory: Because they

“against the gods revolted with violence,

violently they wept for Babylon; very much they wept…”

The biblical version also names Babel (Hebrew for Babylon)…original Akkadian—Bab-Illi–it meant “Gateway of the Gods”, the place by which the gods were to enter and leave Sumer.

Enki spoke out strongly against the idea, urging steps to stop Nergal, for the use of the weapons, he pointed out,

“the lands will make desolate, the people will make perish…”

Nannar and Utu wavered as Enki spoke, but Enlil and Ninurta were for decisive action. And so with the Council of the Gods in disarray, the decision was left to Anu.

Nergal had already ordered the priming of “the seven awesome weapons” with their “poisons.”,

“Anu, lord of the gods, on the land had pity…”

It was then that Ninurta, attempting to dissuade Nergal from indiscriminate annihilation, used words identical to those attributed in the Bible to Abraham when he tried to have Sodom spared:

“Valiant Era (Nergal),

Will you the righteous destroy with the unrighteous?

Will you destroy those who have against you sinned

together with those who against you have not sinned?…”

The two gods argued back and forth on the extent of the destruction. More than Ninurta, Nergal was consumed by personal hatred:..he shouted

“I shall annihilate the son (Nabu), and let the father (Marduk) bury him;

then I shall kill the father, let no one bury him…”

Ninurta finally swayed Nergal.

“He heard the words spoken by Ishum (Ninurta);

the words appealed to him as fine oil…”

Agreeing to leave alone the seas, to leave Mesopotamia out of the attack, he formulated a modified plan: the destruction will be selective..to destroy the cities where Nabu might be hiding…to deny Marduk the greatest prize—the Spaceport,

“the place from where the Great Ones ascend…”

“From city to city an emissary I will send;

The son, seed of his father, shall not escape;

His mother shall cease her laughter…

To the place of the gods, access he shall not have:

The place from where the Great Ones ascend I shall upheaval…”

Wasting no more time, Nergal then urged Ninurta that the two of them go at once into action:

“Then did the hero Erra go ahead of Ishum, remembering his words;

Ishum too went forth, in accordance with the word given,

a squeezing in his heart…”

Their first target was the Spaceport, its command complex hidden in the “Mount Most Supreme,” its landing fields spread in the adjoining great plain:

“Ishum to Mount Most Supreme set his course;

The Awesome Seven, (weapons) without parallel, trailed behind him.

At the Mount Most Supreme the hero arrived;

He raised his hand–the mount was smashed;

The plain by the Mount Most Supreme he then obliterated;

in its forests not a tree-stem was left standing…”

So with one nuclear blow the Spaceport was obliterated…Now it was the turn of Nergal…Guiding himself through the Sinai peninsula to the Canaanite cities by following the King’s Highway, Erra upheavaled them.

The words employed by the “Erra Epic” are almost identical to those used in the biblical tale of Sodom and Gomorrah:

“Then, emulating Ishum, Erra the King’s Highway followed.

The cities he finished off, to desolation he overturned them.

In the mountains he caused starvation, their animals he made perish…”

The verses that follow may well describe the creation of the new southern portion of the Dead Sea…:

“He dug through the sea, its wholeness he divided.

That which lives in it, even the crocodiles he made wither.

As with fire he scorched the animals, banned its grains to become as dust…”

We find descriptions and recollections of the nuclear upheaval in other texts as well:

“Lord, bearer of the Scorcher that burnt up the adversary;

Who obliterated the disobedient land;

Who withered the life of the Evil Word’s followers;

Who raised stones and fire upon the adversaries…”

In a Babylonian text in which one king recalls the momentous events that had taken place “in the reign of an earlier king.”

“At that time, in the reign of a previous king, conditions changed.

Good departed, suffering was regular.

The Lord (of the gods) became enraged, he conceived wrath.

He gave the command: the gods of that place abandoned it…

The two, incited to commit the evil, made its guardians stand aside;

its protectors went up to the dome of heaven…”

The “Khedorlaomer Text”, which identifies the two gods by their epithets as Nergal and Ninurta, tells it this way:

“Enlil, who sat alone in loftiness, was consumed with anger.

The devastators again suggested evil;

He who scorches with fire (Ishum / Ninurta)

and he of the evil wind (Erra / Nergal) together performed their evil.

The two made the gods flee, made them flee the scorching…”

The target, from which they made the gods guarding it flee, was the Place of the Launching:

The nuclear blackened Sinai peninsula

“That which was raised towards Anu to launch they caused to wither;

Its face they made fade away, its place they made desolate…”

Thus was the Spaceport, the prize of which so many Wars of the Gods had been fought, obliterated: the Mount within which the controlling equipment was placed was smashed; the launch platforms were made to fade off the face of the earth; and the plain whose hard soil the shuttle craft had used as runways was obliterated, and not even a tree left standing.

But the deed done by Nergal and Ninurta had not gone unrecorded, for it turned out to have a most profound effect on Sumer, its people, and its very existence…The nuclear explosion gave rise to an immense wind, a radioactive wind, which began as a whirlwind:

“A storm, the Evil Wind, went around in the skies…”

The desolation caused by the catastrophe is then described vividly, by such verses as these:

“Causing cities to be desolate, (causing) houses to become desolate;

Causing stalls to be desolate, the sheepfolds to be emptied;

That Sumer’s oxen no longer stand in their stalls,

that its sheep no longer roam in its sheepfolds;

That its rivers flow with water that is bitter,

that its cultivated fields grow weeds, that its steeps grow withering plants…”

In the cities and the hamlets,

“the mother cares not for her children,

the father says not ‘O my wife’…

the young child grows not sturdy on their knee,

the nursemaid chants not a lullaby…

kingship has been taken away from the land…”

“On the Land (Sumer) fell a calamity, one unknown to man:

One that had never been seen before, one which could not be withstood…”

It was an unseen death,

“which roams the street, is let loose in the road;

it stands beside a man–yet none can see it;

when it enters a house, its appearance is unknown…”

There was no defense against this

“evil which has assailed the land like a ghost:…

The highest wall, the thickest walls, it passes as a flood,

no door can shut it out, no bolt can turn it back;

through the door like a snake it glides, through the hinge like a wind it blows in.

Cough and phlegm weakened the chest,

the mouth was filled with spittle and foam…

dumbness and daze have come upon them,

an unwholesome numbness…an evil curse, a headache…

their spirit abandoned their bodies…”

it was a most gruesome death:

“The people, terrified, could hardly breathe;

the Evil Wind clutched them, does not grant them another day…

Mouths were drenched in blood, heads wallowed in blood…

The face was made pale by the Evil Wind…”

“Covered the land as a cloak, spread over it like a sheet…”

Brownish in color, during the daytime

“the sun in the horizon it obliterated with darkness…”

“(Girt with dread brilliance it filleth the broad earth) it blocked out the moon:…”

“the moon at its rising it extinguished…”

Moving from west to east, the deadly cloud–

“enveloped in terror, casting fear everywhere

a great wind which speeds high above,

an evil wind which overwhelms the land…”

It was

“a great storm directed from Anu…it hath come from the heart of Enlil.

In a single spawning it was spawned…

like the bitter venom of the gods; in the west it was spawned.

Bearing gloom from city to city,

carrying dense clouds that bring gloom from the sky…”

was the result of a

“lightning flash, from the midst of the mountains it had descended upon the land,

From the Plain of No Pity it hath come…”

Though the people were baffled, the gods knew the cause of the Evil Wind:

“An evil blast heralded the baleful storm,

An evil blast the forerunner of the baleful storm was;

Mighty offspring, valiant sons were the heralds of the pestilence…”

As soon as the “awesome weapons” were launched from the skies, there was an immense brilliance

“they spread awesome rays towards the four points of the earth,

scorching everything like fire…”

“The storm, in a flash of lightning created, a dense cloud that brings gloom…”

followed by

“rushing wind gusts…a tempest that furiously scorches the heavens…”

Several texts attest that the Evil Wind, bearing the cloud of death, was caused by gigantic explosions on a day to remember:

“On that day

When heaven was crushed and the Earth was smitten,

its face obliterated by the maelstrom–

When the skies were darkened and covered as with a shadow…”

Over Sumer, its passage lasting twenty-four hours—a day and a night…as in this…from Nippur:

“On that day,, on that single day; on that night, on that single night…

the storm, in a flash of lightning created, the people of Nippur left prostrate…”

The Uruk lament in part

“The great gods paled at its immensity,

gigantic rays reach up to heaven (and) the earth tremble to its core…”

As the Evil Wind began to “spread to the mountains as a net,” the gods of Sumer began to flee their beloved cities…Thus

“Ninhursag wept in bitter tears…”

as she escaped from Isin. Nanshe cried,

“’O my devastated city…’

her beloved dwelling place was given over to misfortune…”

Inanna hurriedly departed from Uruk, sailing off toward Africa in a “submersible ship” and complaining that she had to leave behind her jewelry and other possessions…Inanna / Ishtar bewailed the desolation of her city and her temple by the Evil Wind

“which in an instant,

in a blink of an eye was created against the midst of the mountains,…”

and against which there was no defense…As the

“loyal citizens of Uruk were seized with terror.

‘Rise up! Hide in the steppe!’

the deities ran off…they took unfamiliar paths…”

“Thus all the gods evacuated Uruk;

They kept away from it;

They hid in the mountains,

They escaped to the distant plains…”

In Uruk…

“Mob panic was brought about in Uruk….its good sense was distorted…”

…as the people asked questions:

“Why did the gods benevolent eye look away?

Who caused such worry and lamentation?”…

When the Evil Storm passed over,

“the people were piled up in heaps…a hush settled over Uruk like a cloak…”

Ninki, we learn from “The Eridu Lament”, flew away from her city to a safe haven in Africa:

“Ninki, its great lady, flying like a bird, left her city…”

But Enki left Eridu only far enough to get out of the Evil Wind’s way, yet near enough to see its fate:

“Its lord stayed outside the city…

Father Enki stayed outside the city…

for the fate of his harmed city he wept with bitter tears…”

They watched the storm “put its hand” on Eridu. After the

“evil-bearing storm went out of the city, sweeping across the countryside,…”

Enki surveyed Eridu; he found the city

“smothered with silence…its residents stacked up in heaps…”

Those who were saved addressed to him a lament:

“O Enki, thy city has been cursed, made like an alien territory!”…

…and Enki

“stayed out of his city as though it were an alien city…”

“Forsaking the House of Eridu,…”

Enki then led

“those who have been displaced from Eridu…”

to the desert, “towards an inimical land”; there he used his scientific powers to make the “foul tree” edible.

From Babylon, a worried Marduk sent his father, Enki, an urgent message as the cloud of death neared his city:

“What am I to do?”…

he asked Enki’s advice…and in line with the advice given by the two emissaries to Lot, the people fleeing Babylon were warned

“neither to run nor to look back…”

They were also told not to take with them any food or beverage, for these might have been “touched by the ghost.”

“Get thee into a chamber below the earth, into a darkness,…”

until the Evil Wind was gone…In Lagash,

“mother Bau wept bitterly for her holy temple (residence), for her city…”

Though Ninurta was gone, his spouse could not force herself to leave. Lingering behind, “O my city, O my city,” she kept crying; the delay almost cost her her life:

“On that day, the lady–the storm caught up with her;

Bau, as if she were mortal–the storm caught up with her…”

In Ur we learn from the lamentations (one of which was composed by Ningal herself) that Nannar and Ningal refused to believe that the end of Ur was irrevocable. Nannar addressed a long and emotional appeal to his father…

“Ur was granted kingship–it was not granted an eternal reign.

Since days of yore, when Sumer was founded,

to the present, when people have multiplied–

Who has ever seen a kingship of everlasting reign?”…

While the appeals were made, Ningal recalled in her long poem,

“the storm was ever breaking forward, its howling overpowering all.

Although of the day I still tremble, of that day’s foul smell we did not flee…”

As night came, “a bitter lament was raised” in Ur, yet the god and goddess stayed on…and Ningal realized that Nannar

“had been overtaken by the evil storm…”

…Only next day, when

“the storm was carried off from the city

Ningal, in order to go from her city…hastily put on a garment,…”

and together with the stricken Nannar departed from the city they so loved. As they were leaving they saw death and desolation:

“the people, like potsherds, filled the city’s streets;

in its lofty gates, where they were wont to promenade,

dead bodies were laying about;

in its boulevards, where the feasts were celebrated,scattered they lay;

in all of its streets, where they were wont to promenade,

dead bodies were laying about;

in its places where the land’s festivities took place, the people lay in heaps.

The dead bodies, like fat placed in the sun, of themselves melted away…”

Then did Ningal raise her lamentation for Ur…

“O house of Sin in Ur, bitter is thy desolation…

O Ningal whose land has perished, make thy heart like water!

The city has become a strange city, how can one now exist?

The house has become a house of tears, it makes my heart like water…

Ur and its temples have been given over to the wind.”…

On the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates, only sickly plants grew…

‘In the swamps grow sickly-headed reeds that rot in the stench…

In the orchards and gardens there is no new growth, quickly they waste away…

The cultivated fields are not hied, no seeds are planted in the soil,

no songs resound in the fields…”

In the countryside the animals were also affected:

Soon his mouth was in hers,

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

Genesis:

“When men began to increase in number on the earth

and daughters were born to them,

the sons of God saw the daughters of men were beautiful,

and they married any of them they chose”…

“The Nephilim were on earth in those days – and also afterward –

when the sons of God(s) went to the daughters of men and had children by them.

They were the heroes of old, men of renown”.

Sitchin’s Anunnaki Aliens On Earth, Historical Time-Line Of Events Years Ago

445,000 The Nefilim, led by Enki, arrive on Earth from the Twelfth Planet. Eridu, – Earth Station I, is established in southern Mesopotamia.

430,000 The great ice sheets begin to recede. A hospitable climate in the Near East.

415,000 Enki moves inland, establishes Larsa.

400,000 The great interglacial period spreads globally. Enlil arrives on Earth, establishes Nippar as Mission Control Center. Enki establishes sea routes to southern Africa, organizes gold-mining operations.

360,000 The Nefilim establish Bad-Tibira as their metallurgical center for smelting and refining.

Sippar, the spaceport, and other cities of the gods are built.

300,000 The Anunnaki mutiny. Man, the “Primitive Worker”, is fashioned by Enki and Ninhursag.

250,000 “Early Homo sapiens” multiply, spread to other continents.

200,000 Life on Earth regresses during new glacial period.

100,000 Climate warms again. The sons of the gods take the daughters of man as wives.

77,000 Ubartutu / Lamech, a human of divine parentage, assumes the reign in Shuruppak under the patronage of Ninhursag.

75,000 The “accursation of Earth”, a new ice age begins. Regressive types of Man roam Earth.

49,000 The reign of Ziusudra (“Noah”), a “faithful” servant of Enki’s, begins.

38,000 The harsh climate period of the “seven passings” begins to decimate Mankind. Europe’s Neanderthal Man disappears; only Cro-Magnon Man (based in the Near East) survives.

13,000 The Nefilim, aware of the impending tidal-wave that will be triggered by the nearing Twelfth Planet, vow to let Mankind perish. The Deluge sweeps over Earth, abruptly ending the ice age.

Note: The time period of the last 432,000 years represents 120 shars of rule by the Anunnaki. One shar equals 3,600 years, or one Nibiru orbit.

Anunnaki’s physical reign on Earth ended 13,000 years ago with the Great Flood. Kings reigned in their place from then on, with instructions given, and occasional personal visits from the Anunnaki from time to time.
