(gods in bluemixed-breed demigods in teal…)

7 - when the gods did the work  (Anunnaki alien giants settle on Earth Colony)

Worker Gods Rebel

(I:1-73) When the gods, like man, bore the work, carried the labor-basket-

the labor-basket of the great gods- the work was heavy, much was the distress.

The seven great Anunnaki (Anu, Enlil & royal descendants) caused the Igigi to bear the work.

Anu their father was king (King of Heaven / Nibiru & Earth Colony).

Their counselor was heroEnlil.

Their “throne-bearer” was Ninurta (Enlil‘s son & heir, born of the “double seed” law of succession).

And their sheriff was Ennugi (minor son to Enlil).

These are the ones who seized power.

The gods cast lots and divided (the Cosmos):

  (Anu, father in heaven / planet Nibiru to royal descendants he put in charge of Earth Colony)

[Anu] went up to [heaven]

 (Enlil, Anu‘s son & heir, Anu‘s Earth Colony Commander)

[Enlil had] the earth as his subject;

[the lock,] the snare of the sea [was given] to Enki the wise.

            "God with a golden hand", initially completely gilded. The god wears a long "kaunakes" which leaves one shoulder free,typical of all divinities since Akkadian periods. From Susa, early 2nd mill.BCE. Copper and gold, H: 17,5 cm AO 2823 3a - Enki & Aquarius constellation (Enki, King Anu‘s eldest wisest son)

[After Anu] went up to heaven [and Enki w]ent down [to the ap[su, . . .

7a - when the gods did the work before man (alien gods farming the earth, forced into burdensome work)

(they caused] the Igigi (lesser gods under Enlil & Enki) [to bear the work].

21-36. These lines are fragmentary. Enough is left, however, to reveal that the gods’ work includes digging the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

. . .

Forty more years . . . they bore the labor night and day.

They [weariedl, complained, [grum]bled in the workpits.

“Let us confront the throne-bearer that he may remove from us our [hea]vy labor.

. . . come on, let us confuse him in his dwelling,

 (Enki‘s group mining in SO Africa demanded to trade places, leading to battle with Enlil‘s group farming in the “Eden”)

Enlil, the counselor of the gods, the ‘hero,’ come on, let us confuse (?) him in his dwelling.”

47-60. Most of these lines are lost, fragmentary, or repetitious. But it is clear that one of the worker gods is speaking to the others and exhorting them to rebel. His speech ends with the following:

“Now, engage battle, stir up war and hostilities.”

The gods listened to his words.

They set fire to their implements, to their spades (they set) fire, their labor-baskets into the flames they threw.

They held them (as torches); they went to the gate of the shrine of hero Enlil.

It was night; at mid-watch the house was surrounded; the god did not know.

3a - nippur ziggurat, Enlil's home on Earth (E-kur, Enlil‘s ziggurat residence in Nippur, Earth Colony Command Central)

It was night; at mid-watch the Ekur was surrounded; Enlil did not know.

Enlil is Awakened

(I:74-98) Kalkal (Enlil‘s butler) observed and was disturbed.

He slid the bolt and looked [outward].

Kalkal awakened [Nusku (Enlil‘s chancellor & minor son)].

They listened to the noise of [the Igigi].

Nusku awakened [his] lord, made [him] get out of bed. ”

My lord, [your hou]se is surrounded; battle has come up to your gate.

Enlil, your [house is surroun]ded; battle has come up to your gate.”

Enlil had [his servant] come down into his dwelling.

Enlil opened his mouth and said to his vizier Nusku, ”

Nusku, lock your gate, take your weapon, stand before me.”

Nusku locked his gate, took his weapon and stood before Enlil.

Nusku opened his mouth and said to hero Enlil:

“My lord, these children are your own; they are your sons; why are you afraid?

Enlil, these children are your own; they are your sons; why are you afraid?

Send (the order) let them bring Anu down (to earth); let them bring Enki into your presence.”

1h - procession-lg

 (gods who came down, put on wet suits, & swam to shore;  King Anu‘s royal descendants in procession on Earth Colony)

Chief Gods Hold Council

(I:99-177) He sent and they brought Anu down; they brought Enki into his presence.

Anu, king of heaven, was seated.

The King of the Apsu, Enki, was in [attendance]; the great Anunnaki were seated.

Enlil arose . . .

Enlil opened his mouth and said to the great [gods]: “Against me have they come?

They have waged war …

Battle has come to my gate.”

Anu opened his mouth and said to hero Enlil,

“The matter of the Igigihas its reason been brought to you?

Let Nusku go out.

16-37. These lines ate too fragmentary for translation.

Enlil opened his mouth and said to (his vizier Nusku],

Nusku, open [your gate], take your weapon.

1g - images (hierarchy amongst the giant royal alien descendants of Anunnaki King Anu)

In the assembly [of all the gods] bow down, stand up, [say to them]:

[Your father] Anu has sent me, your counselor [hero Enlil],

your throne-bearer [Ninurta], and your sheriff [Ennugi].

Who is the one [who instigated] battle?

Who is the one who [provoked] hostilities?

Who is the one [who started the war?”

131-58. Most of these lines are either fragmentary or repetitious. It seems that Nusku goes to the rebel gods and repeats Enlil‘s words as he was instructed. Then, he returns to Enlil with their reply which he repeats as follows:

“Every [single one of us g]ods has started the war.

We . . . in the workpits.

8c - Enki & Gibil mining7b - farming in Enlil's Edin

(Anunnaki aliens working the fields, working the mines, etc., establishing bases for their long stay on Earth Colony)

Excessive [labor] has killed us; our wo[rk was heavy], much was the distress;

[and every] single one of us gods has spoken . . . with Enlil.”

Enlil heard these words and his tears flowed.

Enlil [heard] these words; he said [to] hero Anu,

“Noble one, with you in heaven carry your authority, take your power.

With the Anunnaki seated before you, call one god, let him be thrown to the netherworld.”

Anu opened his mouth and said to the gods, his brothers,

“Why are we accusing them? Their work is heavy, much is their distress.”

Nintu and Enki Plan Creation

(I:178-220) 178-88. There is a small gap in the text here. In later versions of the story, Enki, rather than Anu, is speaking at this time. In those versions Enki reveals his plan for creating the human race. In this version he is probably speaking when the story resumes:

2e - Ninhursag & DNA experiments (Ninhursag, Anu‘s daughter, Enlil‘s 1/2 sister, DNA Medical Scientist Specialist)

“While [Nintu (Ninhursag) the birth-goddess] is present,

let the birth-goddess create the offspring, let man bear the labor-basket of the gods.

They called the goddess and asked [her], the midwife of the gods, wise Mami (Ninhursag):

You are the birth-goddess, creatress of man.

1 - Primitive Man as Enki found him In the Abzu 6 - Adapa, model of modern man, meets Enlil

   (Enki & Ninhursag took earthlings from wild man to “modern man” in a blink of the eye, 50,000 years, creating a “missing link”)

Create lullu-man (Primitive Man), let him bear the yoke.

Let him bear the yoke, the work of Enlil; let man carry the labor-basket of the gods.”

Nintu opened her mouth and said to the great gods, ‘It is not properly mine to do these things.

He is the one who purifies all; let him give me the clay, and I will do (it).”

3aa - Ninhursag & Enki experiment 2b - Ninhursag & Enki in lab  (Ninhursag & brother Enki in the Kish DNA lab)

Enki opened his mouth and said to the great gods:

“At the new moon, the seventh day, and the full moon, I will set up a purifying bath.

Let them slaughter (extract DNA from) one god.

Let the gods be purified by immersion.

With his flesh and blood let Nintu mix the clay.

God and man- (DNA) let them be inseparably mixed in the clay; till the end of time let us hear the ‘drum.’

Let there be spirit from the god’s flesh; let her proclaim ‘alive’ as its sign;

for the sake of never-forgetting, let there be spirit.”

In the assembly, “Aye (Utu’s spouse),” answered the great gods, the administrators of destiny.

Human Race is Created

(I:221-304) At the new moon, the seventh day, and the full moon, he set up a purifying bath.

We-ila (unidentified), who had rationality, they slaughtered in their assembly.

With his flesh and blood (DNA, alien technology) Nintu (Ninhursag) mixed the clay.

4c - Ninhursag & Enki in the lab 2d - Ninhursag & attendee, Ninhursag's symbol (Ninhursag in her DNA lab)

Till the end [of days they heard the drum].

From the flesh of the god there was spirit.

She proclaimed “alive” as its sign.

For the sake of not-forgetting there was a spirit.

After she had mixed the clay, she called the Anunnaki, the great gods.

The Igigi, the great gods, cast their spittle (DNA) on the clay.

Mami (Ninhursag) opened her mouth and said to the great gods,

“You commanded me a task-I have completed it.

You slaughtered a god together with his rationality.

I have removed your heavy labor, have placed your labor-basket on man.

4 - Ninhursag in her Lab, holding the molded Adapa 3g - Enki & attendees with baby Adapa

(alien Anunnaaki Chief Medical Scientist Ninhursag & Enki with the 1st “modern man” fashioned from her DNA lab)

You raised a cry for mankind; I have loosened your yoke, have [established] freedom.

They heard this speech of hers; they ran around and kissed her feet.

 3i - fertility tree, Ninhursag, & nuses  (Ninhursag & helpers)

         “Formerly we called youMami.’

Now, may ‘Mistress of all the gods’ be your [na]me.

They entered the house of destiny,

Prince La (unidentified) and wise Mami.

With the birth goddesses assembled, he trod the clay in her presence.

She recited the incantation again and again.

Ea (Enki), seated before her, prompted her.

When she finished her incantation, she nipped off fourteen pieces of clay.

Seven pieces to the right, seven to the left, she placed.

Between them she placed the brick.

260-76. There is a gap in the text here. From an Assyrian version we learn that fourteen birth goddesses shape the clay. They make seven males and seven females and align them in pairs.

3c - Ninhursag, Inanna, & staff(NInhursag‘s nurses step forward as “birth goddesses“)

[The birth g]oddesses were assembled; Nintu was seated.

She counted the months.

At the destined [moment], they called the tenth month.

The tenth month came.

The end of the period opened the womb.

Her face was beaming, joyful.

Her head covered, she performed the midwifery.

 (Nintu‘s / Ninhursag & Enki in the lab)

She girded her loins; she made the blessing.

She patterned the flour and laid down the brick.

“I have created, my hands have done it.

Let the midwife rejoice in the prostitute’s (?) house;

4i - Enki & baby Adapa, created by Ninhursag (Enki with the new species of earthlings, “modern man”, the worker)

where the pregnant woman gives birth, the mother of the baby severs herself.

Let the brick be laid down for nine days that Nintu the midwife be honored.

Let them continually call Mami their . . . praise the birth goddess, praise Kesh (her city of Kish).

The Epic of Atra-Hasis Version 1

The translation offered here is adapted from the one by B.R. Foster.

The Epic of Atrahasis is the fullest Mesopotamian account of the Great Flood. The conditions immediately after the Creation, when the Lower Gods have to work very hard,

The text is known from several versions: two were written by Assyrian scribes (one in the Assyrian, one in the Babylonian dialect), a third one (on three tablets) was written during the reign of king Ammi-saduqa of Babylonia (1647-1626 BCE). Parts are quoted in Tablet XI of the Epic of Gilgameš; other influences are in the Babylonian History by Berossus (quote).

 Complaints of the Lower Gods

[1] When the gods were man they did forced labor, they bore drudgery.

2b - Enlil, parent in-laws Haia, Nisaba, & spouse Ninlil

  (Enlil with a plow, Haia – barley god / God of the Stores, Nisaba – Goddess of Grains & Master Scribe, Ninlilgrain goddess, & unidentified)

Great indeed was the drudgery of the gods, the forced labor was heavy, the misery too much:

1c - images  (Enlil‘s family did the work in “the Eden”; Enki‘s family worked in the mines of South Africa)

[5] the seven great Anunna-gods were burdening the [lesser] Igigi-gods with forced labor.

[Lacuna]

7a - when the gods did the work before man (“Eden”, prior to “modern man”, the gods did the work)

[21] The gods were digging watercourses, canals they opened, the life of the land.

The Igigi-gods were digging watercourses canals they opened, the life of the land.

1d - Edin's 4 rivers 2b - Ur Dynasty (the “Eden”, Ancient Sumer, “land of the gods”)

[25] The Igigi-gods dug the Tigris river and the Euphrates thereafter.

Springs they opened from the depths, wells … they established.…

3a - Utu in the mountains with weapons of brilliance Utu Shamash (Utu carves out launch & landing pads)

They heaped up all the mountains.

[Several lines missing]

… years of drudgery.

[35] … the vast marsh (Enki drained).

They counted years of drudgery, … and forty years, too much! (Anunnaki age 1 year = 3,6oo Earth-years)

7b - farming in Enlil's Edin  (when the gods did the work, there was much complaining)

… forced labor they bore night and day.

They were complaining, denouncing, muttering down in the ditch:

“Let us face up to our foreman the prefect, he must take off our heavy burden upon us!

Enlil, counselor of the gods, the warrior, come, let us remove him from his dwelling;

 (Enlil, Earth Colony Commander, his group had it much easier in Eden than the others mining)

[45] Enlil, counselor of the gods, the warrior, come, let us remove him from his dwelling!”

[Several lines missing]

  (alien vs. alien, god vs. god)

[61] “Now them, call for battle, battle let us join, warfare!”

The gods heard his words: they set fire to their tools,

Farming - clay Sumerian sickle  (clay sickle, like everything else, another 1st discovered in Mesopotamia)

[65] they put fire to their spaces, and flame to their workbaskets.

Off they went, one and all, to the gate of the warrior Enlil‘s abode….

It was night, half-way through the watch,

Reply by the Lower Gods

“Everyone of us gods has declared war; …

We have set … un the excavation, excessive drudgery has killed us,

[150] our forced labor was heavy, the misery too much!

Now, everyone of us gods has resolved on a reckoning with Enlil.”

[a1]Ea (Enki) made ready to speak, and said to the gods, his brothers:

“What calumny do we lay to their charge?

Their forced labor was heavy, their misery too much!

[a5] Every day … the outcry was loud, we could hear the clamor.

[200] “It is not for me to do it, the task is Enki‘s.

He it is that cleanses all, let him provide me the clay so I can do the making.”

Enki made ready to speak,

[205] and said to the great gods:

“On the first, seventh, and fifteenth days of the month, let me establish a purification, a bath.

Let one god be slaughtered, then let the gods be cleansed by immerson.

(gods in blue)

After Time had come into being and the holy seasons for growth and rest were finally known, holy Dilmun,

2 - Dilmun location (Dilmun / “Tilmun”, Sinai Peninsula, “Land of the Missiles” )

the pure clean and bright land of the living, the garden of the Great Gods and Earthly paradise,

located eastward in Eden, was the place where Ninhursag, the Earth Mother,

Most Exalted Lady and Supreme Queen, could be found.

There she lived for a season during the Wheel of the Year,

when the Earth lay deep in slumber and rest before the onset of Spring,

in the land that knew neither sickness nor death or old age,

where the raven uttered no cry, where lions and wolves killed not,

and unknown were the sorrows of a widow or the wailing of the sick.

 (Enki drinking in Dilmun)

And it was in Dilmun, at that time that Enki,

the wise god of Magic and the Sweet Waters, the Patron of Crafts and Skills,

met, fell in love and lied with the Lady of the Stony Earth, Ninhursag.

2aa - temple of Hathor - Ninhursag2a - Ninhursag, Ninmah, Nintu, etc(young Ninhursag artifacts)

The Earth Mother’s kiss did change the carefree and sexy Sweet Waters Lord:

Ninhursag had wholly captivated him through the most profound of all bonds,

the thread of enchantment, passion and daring called Love.

So profound the feeling was that the God of all Sweet Waters,

Magic and Crafts proposed to Ninhursag, with the enthusiasm of a young lover’s heart.

3e - goddess, attendee, & Ninhursag (unidentified goddess, earthling worker, & Ninhursag on her throne)

Ninhursag looked around the land, her stony body, and remembered the taste

of the wondrous moisture of the Sweet Waters God within herself.

She wondered whether the land should not feel the same loving touch without.

She said then to Enki: ‘I heard your heart speak, Enki dearest.

But if I feel your wondrous moisture within me, I look at the earth of Dilmun, also my body,

and feel it is the longing, the thirst for the gifts that you, dear heart, for sure can bring.

Thus I ask you: what is a land, what is a city that has no river quay?

A city that has no ponds of sweet water?’

http://earthstation1.simplenet.com3 - Enki, god of the waters (Enki, wise god of waters)

Taken by surprise, Enki realized that indeed he had given his whole essence to the beloved,

but forgotten to look after her Earthly Body, the land.

He then rose to the challenge of providing water for the land with aplomb.

3a - Enki & Aquarius constellation (Enki / Aquarius)

He told then Ninhursag: ‘ For Dilmun, the land of my lady’s heart,

I will create long waterways, rivers and canals, whereby water will flow

to quench the thirst of all beings and bring abundance to all that lives.’

Enki then summoned Utu, the Sun God and Light of the Day.

Egyptian Khnum, Ptah, Enki Fashioned & Managed the Nile  (flow of the Nile River established & stabilized by Enki / Ptah)

Together, they brought a mist from the depths of the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.

Then Enki and Utu created waterways to surround the land with a never-ending source of fertile Sweet Waters,

and Enki also devised basins and cisterns to store the waters for further needs.

1d - Edin's 4 rivers (map of the Biblical 4 rivers shows Sumer as Eden’s location)

From these fertile sweet waters flow the four Great Rivers of the Ancient World, including the Tigris and the Euphrates.

Thus, from that moment on, Dilmun was blessed by Enki

with everlasting agricultural and trade superiority, for through its waterways and quays,

fruits and grains were sold and exchanged by the people of Dilmun and beyond.

Ninhursag rejoiced in Enki‘s mighty prowess and said to him: ‘

Beloved, the powerful touch of your sweet waters,

the essence of Mother Nammu (Enki‘s mother) that lies deep within you, transformed the land, my stony body.

I feel the power of life throbbing within to be revealed without my very depths as I give joyously birth

and sustenance to the marshes and reed-beds, that from now on will shelter fish, plant, beasts and all that breathes.

2b - Ninhursag, Chief Medical Officer (Ninhursag with her early failed attempts to DNA fashion replacement workers)

Thus I call myself Nintur (Ninhursag), the lady who gives birth, the Womb of the Damp Lands by the riverbanks.’

Enki replied: ‘Ninhursag, dearest Nintur, beloved, how can anyone quite compare to you?

I cannot resist your wild, sweet ways, so lie with me one more time

and fill my body, heart, soul and mind with endless delights!

For me you will forever be my fierce Damgalnunna, my Great Spouse, passionate and very much loved!’

2c - young Ninhursag in lab (Ninhursag on her throne in Kish, her patron city)

Ninhursag laughed and welcomed the eagerness of the Sweet Waters Lord.

Nine days later, without the slightest labor or pain,

the Great Mother Goddess gave birth to a lovely girl without the slightest travail or pain.

The girl was called Ninsar, Lady Verdure, the Mistress of Vegetation, the green carpet of grass,

leaves and flower beds that cover the surface of the earth.

Enki was overjoyed with the birth of his and Ninhursag‘s child:

‘How perfect, how lovely is our Ninsar!

I love already the woman in the girl-child, the young Anunnaki goddess

and Mistress of Velvet Meadows and Green Fields.

The ties that bind me to Ninsar are strong and tempered by an even greater love,

for in her face I see also Ninhursag‘s, the one and only to my wandering heart.’

The Great Lady, holding Ninsar in her arms, kissed Enki in the mouth, and said: 

5h - Enki drinking beer in Dilmun, Ninsikila perhaps   (Enki‘s descendants establish Dilmun)

‘ Soon my time to leave Dilmun will come, but to this holy land I will sure return

at the beginning of the earth’s rest in the Middle world.

I need to leave soon, for without my loving touch Spring cannot come back,

the winds to dismiss Winter won’t blow, all there is won’t sing or mate until I to them return.

But before I go away, I endow Ninsar with the power to grow in record time,

and in holy Dilmun I’ll leave my youngster daughter safe and sound from any illness, hatred or harm.’

As the Great Lady had declared, nine days later Ninsar was fully grown, charming and graceful, a sight to behold.

Ninhursag then left for the Middle world.

Enki knew he would miss his beloved terribly, but while she was busy in the Middle Earth

giving her Essence for the land to grow happy and gay, equally as busy as Ninhursag was Enki in holy Dilmun.

2 - Enki, the wisest god3c - Enki in the Abzu (Enki; Enki on his throne in Eridu, his patron city)

It was the sacred duty of the Sweet Waters Lord to oversee the rise and fall

of all fertilizing waters that flowed from Dilmun to feed the rivers, lakes and ponds

of the Middle world to make the land ready to receive the Spring seeds.

Thus, as much as he missed Ninhursag, Enki knew he could not leave Dilmun

before all waterways were filled to ensure that the people would have plenty of water to grow their crops.

3b - Enki image (Enki, King Anu‘s eldest & wisest son, sent to prepare for life on Earth)

Enki‘s essence, the fertilizing power of the sweet waters,

should reach every piece of land in the Middle world that had been worked and plowed.

It was at the end of a day he had spent totally absorbed by the mighty task of controlling the water flow

to the Middle world that Enki saw Ninsar walking on her own along the marshlands.

Indeed, a lovely goddess she had become, and Enki‘s eyes fell on the Maiden’s,

the Sweet Waters Lord felt a longing he could not yet define.

He only knew that after Ninhursag‘s departure, no other maiden had touched his heart the way this one did.

Indeed, she who walked on her own along the marshlands

was the closest version to Ninhursag his eyes had the luck to find.

Enki did not lose time and immediately started wooing the young lady,

encouraging her to love him wildly by the riverside.

Curious and eager as Ninsar was to experience the power of love in her body, mind,

soul, and heart, she, the young goddess of Green Fields and Luscious Meadows,

yielded to the Sweet Waters Lord, and together they made wild love.

2a - Enki keeper of the MUs-knowledge disks (eldest Anunnaki alien Enki produced children with dozens of Anunnaki women on Earth)

But when morning came, Enki looked into Ninsar‘s eyes and found her a loving, but pale portrait of Ninhursag.

‘What is in her that was so alluring last night,

but now in the broad day light seems to have lost substance Lovely as she is,

she is not the one I surely miss,’ thought Enki. ‘

Despite the doubts he felt deep inside, Enki stayed with Ninsar for a while,

because he knew his seed could be in her womb.

So he stayed with her until the ninth day, when Ninsar gave birth to Ninkurra

another girl-child, the future goddess of Mountain Pastures.

As before, Enki rejoiced at Ninkurra‘s loveliness, at her cheerful smile and sweet face.

Again, Enki saw in Ninkurra twice the mark of his beloved Ninhursag.

Sadly, Ninsar realized that although she had been passionately loved by Enki for a time,

there was a longing in his eyes, his body, soul and mind she could not satisfy.

‘ Bonded to him I for a time was,’ thought Ninsar, ‘ but he does not want me for myself, this I can tell.

Mine is not the mind, body, soul and heart that holds his for a minute that means eternity,

so I’ll let him go, now and forever.

I need to be loved for who and what I am, and not to be a mere replacement for whom I know not he loves.’

Thus, when Enki left her and young Ninkurra, Ninsar grieved deeply, but found hope,

meaning and sustenance in drawing from her all-one-ness,

her inner and outer resources to heal and grow with the experience.

She also kept a watchful eye on Ninkurra, who, like herself, grew in record time.

Lovely, resourceful Ninkurra demonstrated enormous energy by climbing the highest heights,

up to the mountain tops, but also keeping her essence tied to the ground.

This way Ninkurra, the Goddess of Mountain Pastures grew safe from all hatred or harm.

Another nine days passed by, and as Ninkurra played at a mountain top,

curiosity led her to explore a well that surfaced out of the blue

to water the greens and wild flower beds she had just made grow.

To her sheer surprise and delight, the well took the shape of a handsome god,

who introduced himself to her as Enki the Sweet Waters Lord.

Again, Enki looked at Ninkurra‘s young and cheerful face, and desired to dive into the maiden’s embrace,

for she reminded him twice of Ninhursag, the one and only to Enki‘s wandering heart.

The maiden at the mountain top though had attracted the Sweet Waters’ Lord.

Had he again fallen in love?

5k - Enki & Ninsikila in Dilmun (Enki & his women in Dilmun / today’s Oman area)

Ninkurra, who had lived a life so sheltered at the mountain heights,

was fully bewitched by the easy charm of the older, more experienced god.

Thus she joyously yielded to him and love they made for nine days and nine nights.

But Enki soon realized that as lovely as Ninkurra was, she could not be compared to Ninhursag.

As before, the Sweet Waters Lord left Ninsar after nine days,

when Ninkurra gave birth to another lovely girl-child called Uttu,

1 - Uttu, goddess of weaving, relief of spinner (Uttu spinning thread, clothing her fellow gods)

the Spider, the Weaver of Patterns and Life Desires.

But Ninhursag, having kissed the earth to awaken for Spring to come, had returned to holy Dilmun.

The Great Lady who saw and wisely judged all life forms,

frowned at the sadness reflected in Ninsar‘s and Ninkurra‘s eyes, and frowned at Enki‘s unbridled lust.

Ninhursag knew how charming Enki could be, but no matter what,

young Uttu the Weaver should be advised to avoid the riverbanks,

or the places where Enki and herself could be found alone or unchaperoned:

Daughter Uttu, beware of the marshes and the riverbanks,

Copper and gold, H: 17,5 cm AO 2823  (Royal Prince Enki, 1st to arrive on Earth Colony with his crew of 50)

where Enki, the Sweet Waters god, reigns as Sovereign.

There he will see you, there he will desire you and want to make of you his own,

only to leave you all alone later on!’ was Ninhursag‘s stern advice to Uttu.

For a time young Uttu did follow the Great Lady’s advice and kept her distance from Enki‘s lusty sight.

But one day Enkis desire won the young goddess’ heart,

when he brought to her delicacies from the garden of delights:

apples, cucumbers and grapes, all this and more Enki offered to the young goddess.

Then Uttu, full of joy, opened herself to welcome Enki, the crafty god,

and he embraced her with heartfelt glee, lying in her lap content and happy.

Loving strokes, kisses and hugs they shared,

until Enki‘s seed found its way to Uttu‘s young and yet untried womb.

Later, still lying on Enki‘s powerful arms, doubt entered Uttu‘s mind, body and heart:

‘Tonight you loved me so dearly, tonight I was your spouse, the one and only, your dearest, ‘ she thought .

‘But will you love me in the morning, o lustiest of all gods?

Will you stay in my arms and never let me go

And will you love for more than a holy night, and share with me happy and hard times?’

But when morning came and Uttu looked into Enki‘s eyes,

she knew she still was not the one to hold captive the Sweet Waters Lord.

With a tender kiss Enki took his leave,

but did not say when he was going to come back, or ever returned to stay.

Uttu swallowed stubborn tears, but decided not to surrender to loss and sorrow, and more.

‘I vow not to be bonded to Enki from this moment on,’ she promised herself with a deep-rooted resolve.

‘If he does not want me for myself, for what we can together be,

I will not carry any of his seeds within or without my very being!’

2d - Ninhursag & attendee, Ninhursag's symbol (unidentified goddess & mother-goddess Ninhursag)

Uttu immediately turned then to Ninhursag for help.

The Great Mother goddess, beloved by all,

would know what to do, would ensure the best course of action.

‘Wipe out Enki‘s seed of your body, and bury within the depths of the Earth

the promise of life you shared with him,’ said the Great Lady and Womb of Creation.

‘ Let the Earth receive and transform yours and Enki‘s seed.

And after you do this all, take your time so that your body, heart, mind and soul may heal.

And I, who have known love, pain, sorrow and immense joy, give you, daughter, a very special blessing:

may the wisdom of experience brought by such pain enter your being again

and may you learn to ask as much as you give from your future lovers for as long as you live.

Reciprocation is the key for everlasting relationships!’

Where Ninhursag buried Enki‘s seed, nine days later eight plants, luscious and strong, started to grow.

Ninhursag laughed and declared happily to each of them:

‘Out of the depths of the earth, out of my stony womb, eight plants came out to bring more blessings to the world!

Eight they are, and from now on each of them will be both fathers and mothers,

the very first Seed, of a new group of beings, whom I’ll call Plants,

creatures of green and color, that will nourish, heal and grow in the glory of Dilmun and the Middle world.’ .

After a time, Enki returned, happy and carefree, as it was his custom to be.

He was not alone, but in the company of the two-faced god Isimud, Enki‘s vizier and friend.

1788-17746

                     (giant mixed-breed     Enki                     Isimud     partial Ninhursag)

Both took long walks around the riverbanks, enjoyed the pleasures of the marshlands.

Both saw the luscious plants.

What sorts of beings are those, Isimud, my faithful servant and friend?

What is in them so new and yet so old that fills my heart with desire and my mind with deep-rooted curiosity?

I want to taste them, to know their hearts, I want to know their insides.

What, pray, is this plant?’ asked Enki Isimud, pointing at the closest one.

7a - Enki & Isimud, his vizier, Roman Janus = January (2-faced Isumud / Roman god Janus / January, looking forwards & backwards)

‘My king, this is a tree plant,’ Isimud answered, and sworn as he was to serve the Sweet Waters Lord,

Isimud then proceeded to cut down a piece of the tree-plant and passed it on to Enki, who immediately ate it with greed.

The taste of the tree-plant fueled even more Enki‘s desire to know the nature of the other seven plants left..

He asked Isimud about the nature of the seven plants, their essence and content.

Isimud replied to all his master’s questions, cutting down a sample of each and passing them on to Enki,

who devoured them immediately with glee.

This way Enki got to know the hearts of the Plants World.

Seeing that once again Enki had shown no respect or restraint,

taking over to make his own not only young maiden goddesses,

but also the Plants World angered Ninhursag beyond any measure.

 (Ninhursag, father Anu & 2 others in his sky-disc, & Enki)

‘Enough is enough!’ exclaimed the Great Mother,

Mistress and Supreme Queen of the Earth, outraged and furious at Enki‘s disdain for all beings,

human or plants. ‘ Enki, you’ve gone too far by taking over the hearts’ essence of not only young goddesses,

but also by taking into yourself eight primeval samples of the Plants World.

It is good to feel desire and experience the need to be one with the beloved.

But there is a profound responsibility implicit in falling in love and captivating someone’s mind, body, heart and soul.

You, Enki, came out of the blue into many maidens’ lives,

set yourself up like a squatter within their hearts only to leave them afterwards, never to return.

But even then you were not satisfied in your lust to know and experience everything,

so you turned to the newly created Plants World.

You, Enki, tasted each one of the eight sacred plants, devouring them next with greed.

You never asked, but always took without giving anything back, a sign of acknowledgment, a simple caress.

To how many did you bring a little death to their spirit, to their hopes about a future with you?

For all this, you deserve a mighty lesson, for it is high time that you,

Enki, learn in sorrow what you did not learn in happiness:

I will never look at you with a life-giving eye from this moment on.

May the suffering you inflicted return to you threefold!’

With these words, Great Ninhursag disappeared,

leaving Enki clearly divided between the joy of seeing the one

and only to his heart and the growing concern for her parting words.

Because indeed Enki‘s health began to fail.

A strange illness this was: eight organs of his body fell progressively ill.

Indeed, they started to die in Enki‘s living body.

The Anunnaki, the Great Gods, were disconsolate with Enki‘s suffering.

5 - Anu above, Enlil, & Enki

      (eagle / pilot, Enki, Sky Lord King Anu in his sky-disc, & Lord Air Enlil with Apkulla / winged eagle-headed pilot)

Father An (Anu), the Sky Lord, Enlil, Lord Air and Enki‘s beloved older (younger ½) brother,

5 - Bau gives medical attention

                 (Dr. son Damu gives medical attention with his mother Bau‘s help, also her guard dog)

all healer gods and goddesses of the land tried everything they could to no avail.

Only Ninhursag could not be found anywhere, while Enki‘s health deteriorated little by little day after day.

It soon came a time when Enlil left Enki‘s side to sit on the dust,

so immerse he was in despair and worry for the health of his younger (older) and favorite brother.

 (Enlil, Earth Colony Commander; King Anu, & Enki in alien sky-disc)

The Air Lord grieved for Enki.

A world without the Lord of the Sweet Waters, Magic and Crafts, how sad it would be!

Enlil simply could not conceive life without Enki‘s cunning, humor and sheer energy.

It was then that a fox, a sacred wild beast to Ninhursag who was passing by, came to console Lord Air:

‘I’ve seen the suffering of the Sweet Waters Lord,

I’ve witnessed the lament of the greatest of the Anunnaki for Enki, their beloved brother.

Only Ninhursag can heal him, only the Mistress of All Creation can make him whole again.

I’ll do my best to go and find the Greatest Lady of Earth,

holy Ninhursag I am sworn to worship and serve till the end of my days.

I will find the Great Goddess and bring her here to accomplish the healing of the sick god.’

The fox disappeared, but kept her promise, for Ninhursag relented and came running to Enki‘s aid.

She went straight to the chamber where Enki laid in agony, and, with a wave of her mighty hand,

Ninhursag dismissed healers, nurses and well-wishers.

3ca - Ninhursag & helpers (Ninhursag & unidentified medical nurse helpers)

Their work was done. Ninhursag‘s had just begun.

With immense tenderness, the Mistress of All Creation made herself comfortable by on the bed,

carefully placing Enki‘s head on her vagina.

She then leaned forward and wrapped herself, arms, legs, breasts around the body of the Sweet Waters Lord.

Enki was this way lovingly embraced by the Great Lady,

kept safe and protected by her warmth, and arms that felt strong yet very sweet.

Like a nurturing womb, the Great Lady wrapped herself around the Sweet Waters god.

Ninhursag whispered softly in Enki‘s ear:

‘Dearest, what hurts you?’ ‘ O beloved, my whole body hurts me.,’

Enki managed to answer with visible effort.

Ninhursag rocked gently back and forth with much care the sick god:

‘I know your body hurts, dear heart, but soon you will be made whole again.

Because I’ll receive in my Womb of Abundance, the nest of creation,

the seeds that you so greedily ate and that made you so ill.

6cc - Ninhursag (Ninhursag, DNA Expert, Chief Medical Science Officer)

I’ll take them all into my body so that they can bring healing, not harm to all beings.

Let the Work begin!’

4c - Ninhursag & Enki in the lab (lab experiments of Ninhursag & brother Enki)

Enki felt he could not move a fingertip.

At the same time, warmth started spreading all over his body, bringing new vitality, life force with it.

Enki heard Ninhursag‘s voice resonate all over his being:

‘The first seed you ate and made you ill,

I take its power into my myself and transform it into a newly born god,

a younger brother and son to you, dearest.

I therefore have given birth to the god Abu to set your body free.’

The Great Lady continued her mighty healing ritual,

asking Enki for the names of the organs that had been affected.:

‘Dearest, what hurts you?’ ‘ My jaw hurts me.’

To the god Nintulla (Ninsikila) I have given birth for you to set your jaw free.

Where else do you hurt, dearest?’ ‘ My tooth hurts me.’ ‘

To the goddess Ninsutu (Ningiriudu) I have given birth for you to set your tooth free.

Where do you still feel much pain, dearest? What hurts you?’

‘My mouth hurts me.’ Ninhursag kissed Enki in the mouth.

To the goddess Ninkasi I have given birth for you to set your mouth free.

What hurts you still, dear?’ ‘ My throat hurts me.’

To the goddess Azimua I have given birth for you to set your throat free.

What hurts you still, dear?” ‘ My limbs hurt me’.

To the god Enshag I have given birth for you to set your limbs free.

What hurts you most, dearest? ‘ My rib hurts me.’

To the goddess Nin-ti, the Lady of the Rib and the One who makes Live,

I have given birth for you to set your rib free.’

As soon as Ninhursag uttered the last sentence, Enki felt no pain or ache, revitalized and stronger than ever.

Indeed, as if he himself had been reborn in the close embrace of Ninhursag.

Gone was the pain, the fever, the shivers.

‘I am alive,’ he said very simply, his voice full of wonder,

and yet it feels so different from the moment I came out of the sea

of mother Nammu or when I met Ereshkigal in the Underworld.’

2 - Ninhursag, Ninmah (powerful goddess Ninhursag, lover to Enki)

He moved into Ninhursag‘s arms, for he wanted to see her face too.

The Great Lady had closed her eyes, but there was a smile on her lips.

She rested against the pillows of Enki‘s bed, still holding him in a loose embrace.

Now it was his turn to act with immense tenderness, as he shifted positions to make her rest on his chest.

‘You healed me by sending your soul into my body, ‘ he said,

deeply moved by the Gift of Life he had been given, and more.

‘This is why you are so wearied.

And the reason why I feel so much more part of yourself as a consequence.

How could I have been so stupid not to understand you or myself until now?

It was you I longed for, your embrace, your touch.

But beforehand I wanted you for me only, and desired all maidens,

because I knew not of the extent of my longing for you and only you.

How impossibly absurd and stupid of me to think that I should find your image in every maiden

I came across just to leave them when I realized they were not you! ‘

They kissed passionately.

‘I would never bind you to me against your True Will,beloved,’ said simply Ninhursag.

‘And because you understood this great mystery,

because you and I are indeed two of a kind, let all worlds know what I now declare:

from this very moment on let it be known that I, Ninhursag, the Earth Mother,

Wisest beyond all Beings in the Ways of Nature,

built a house for my beloved and myself on a Rock, steadfast and solid….’

‘Let me finish this for you… for us, dearest,’ interrupted Enki Ninhursag with a kiss,

3g - pilotApkulla & Enki  (winged eagle-headed Apkulla / pilot, & Enki, Lord of Sweet Waters)

‘I, Enki, the Lord of Sweet Waters, say that from this strong and solid rock that means Life,

Love and Fruition for me the Waters of Life will flow forever in all worlds we dare to fare’.

They kissed and hugged passionately, sealing their shared Fate forever, for as long as they wanted to be together.

‘For you I stayed here in Dilmun, the place of delights, where we are safe from hate or harm’, continued Enki.

‘Now I know that you made me ill to make me see

that the bond that I feel for you is stronger than friendship or love.

I know now that even if we cannot be together all the time, we will never be apart.

But tell me, dearest, did you really need to be so radical and cast on me the eye of death?’

Indeed, Enki had come back to his normal inquiring self.

Ninhursag could burst of joy, and her laughter was pure delight and mischief:

‘This, Enki, you will never find out!’

Enki chuckled, half disappointed, half amused.

Life with Ninhursag would never be boring, this he knew for sure.

She would certainly drive him nuts with her assertiveness,

wits, passionate ways and guts many other times in the future.

But she was and would be forever in his future, he loved her and wanted her like no other.

3c - Ninhursag, Inanna, & staff (Ninhursag supported by her staff)

Ninhursag was his Soul-Companion, his Rock of Strength,

the Inspirational Divine Feminine that brightened up his life.

And if he could not have the last word with her, at least Enki knew very well how to silence Ninhursag

in the sweetest and wildest way for very long moments.

With perfect skill and determination he started to kiss her holy body. All over.”

       (a period prior mankind, when the alien gods did the work of survival, & total colonization of the Earth)

          the senior (royal descendant) gods oversaw the work, while the minor gods were bearing the toil.

The gods were digging the canals and piling up the silt in Harali.

The gods, dredging the clay, began complaining about this life.

12-23 At that time, the one of great wisdom, the creator of all the senior gods,

Enki lay on his bed, not waking up from his sleep, in the deep engur,

2e - Eridu temple reconstruction3c - Enki in the Abzu (Enki‘s residence in Eridu; Enki in the Abzu marshes)

          in the flowing water, the place the inside of which no other god knows.

The gods said, weeping: “He is the cause of the lamenting!”

Namma (Nammu, Ninhursag‘s & Enki‘s mother), the primeval mother who gave birth to the senior gods,

took the tears of the gods to the one who lay sleeping, to the one who did not wake up from his bed, to her son:

“Are you really lying there asleep, and …… not awake?

All the senior gods praised him: “O lord of wide understanding, who is as wise as you?

in fact you are the me (alien technologies on discs, a How To Do…).”

52-55 Enki and Ninmah (Enki‘s ½ sister, Ninhursag) drank beer,

their hearts became elated, and then Ninmah said to Enki:

“Man’s body can be either good or bad and whether I make a fate good or bad depends on my will.”

“I have decreed the fates of your creatures and given them their daily bread.

Before All Befores

How the Earth Mother and Queen fell in love with the Skyfather and King

RETELLINGS by Lishtar

https://earth-history.com/

At the heart of Ancient Mesopotamian religion, there was the Sacred Marriage of Heaven and Earth, the wondrous coming together of matching polarities to engender a new whole. This was probably how this time-honored ritual came into being for the first time. For Lillith of Lusitânia

 

(Texts: All Artifacts, Color Coding, & Writings in Bold Type With Italics Inside Parenthesis, are Added by Editor R. Brown, not the Authors, Translators, or Publishers!)

(gods in blue)

        

Before All Befores, there was Nammu (King Anu’s concubine & mother to many royals), the Sea,

She the Origin, Ever flowing Beginning.

              (Nammu statues from Mesopotamia)

Nammu was the First, the Source, the Mother of the Universe, the Self-Procreating Womb of Abundance,

Alone and All-In-One, Nammu was Primal Matter, the Deep Fertile Waters of the Sea.

Before All Befores (for time was yet to be),

              (DNA symbol of earthling double helix spiral)

Nammu revolved and flowed, squeezed, coiled and rushed like a double helix spiral.

Love she made for the first time to HerSelf, and she in Pure Joy reveled.

Nammu’s waters then opened up: she had given birth to Ki-An,

Creation’s first born, She the Mountain, He the Sky.

 

Before all Befores, wrapped around the liquid Body of the Mother,

Ki the Mountain, An the Sky held each other close in a most tender embrace.

Ki the Mountain, An the Sky lay in each other’s arms before all befores,

             (Anu the Sky in his winged sky-disc with sons Enlil & Enki)

when An was an empty Sky, Ki a stony earth, laying barren and unfulfilled

within Nammu’s fecund body fluid (Nammu is mother to Enki, Bau, Martu, sometimes Ereshkigal, etc.).

As Ki and An lay closer and closer still, something stirred, deep from within.

 

Love that bound An and Ki together brought into being a Sigh,

    (Lord Air Enlil, King Anu‘s son & heir)

a Wind, a First Breath, and so was Enlil, Infant Lord Air (Enlil), manifested.

Thus, life throbbed in Cheerful Continuation, as An, the Mighty Bull of Heaven,

made love fifty times (and more!) to Ki, his Beloved, the All-Powerful Cow of Earth.

 

Ki (Anu’s official spouse Antu, mother to double-seed son Enlil) responded to An’s enthusiasm and passion in kind.

She made herself resplendent, for her brother-spouse she beautified joyously her body with the most precious metals,

fuels and lapis lazuli, she adorned herself with diorite, chalcedony and shiny carnelian.

 

  (Anunnaki King, Skyfather An / Anu in his winged sky-disc, Nannar too)

So did the Skyfather An (Anu) array himself in a cloak of the purest azure

to greet his dearest sister-spouse Ki (sometimes Ninhursag, sometimes Antu).

Then in great joy and reverence An, who called himself then Heaven approached Ki, whom he called Earth.

AnHeaven dived into Ki’s welcoming expanse.

Then Sky kissed Ki, pouring the semen of Trees,

Reeds and pastures into the beloved’s womb.

Ki, fecund, brave, sweet Earth, was impregnated with the rich semen of Heaven,

and joyfully gave birth to the plants of life.

 

Luxuriantly did Earth bear the rich produce, generously did she exude wine and honey.

Gleefully, she invited the Skies into herself over and over again.

Fifty times (and more!), Sky came into the Earth.

Fifty times (and more!), An’s seed met Ki’s; fifty times (and more!), An’s seed grew in Ki’s;

fifty times (and more!), An and Ki made love, and so the Anunnaki,

the first Generation of Gods (Anu‘s descendants only), in Ki’s womb was formed, as yet unnamed, waiting to be born.

Only Enlil (born of the “double-seed” law of succession to King Anu’s crown),

first of the Anunnaki (the second son to Anueldest son is Enki born of Anu’s favorite concubine Nammu),

Infant Lord Air (Enlil) was there within An’s and Ki’s (Antu’s) lap, all surrounded by Nammu’s Depths.

 

Nammu feels and sees everything.

She must now create space for her offspring.

Under Ki, surrounding Enlil, above An, Nammu arches and stretches,

her Watery Form to further Depths she directs.

Nammu defines HerSelf as the First Ocean, cradle of other life forms to come.

Mine are the Depths reaching out to the Surface’, decrees the Fates Nammu,

mine is the Process of Becoming out of Nothing’s embrace.

mine is the Nurturing Womb, Life’s first Mystery, mine is the Silence that all Life Created.’

 

Enlil, who was An’s Divine Inspiration and Ki’s First Sigh of Exultation,

the first of the Great Gods to be born, struggled to grow.

Then, a Movement, Energy and Direction.

1ae - Enlil, Babylonian  (Enlil, King Anu‘s Earth Colony Commander)

It was Enlil seeking Expansion.

He grows stronger still, eager for his Destiny to fulfill.

Out of his parents’ embrace he wants to escape off to unconquered Spaces.

Growth out of the protective Nest, all by himself, this is Enlil’s first Quest.

Thus he summons his Might from within, and manifests without as a Great Wind.

Focused, Penetrating, Directed, Enlil’s might cuts through An’s and Ki’s embrace,

on through the fluid body of Mother Nammu.

 

A roar, a Bang is then heard, and so are the Bull of Heaven and Cow of Earth once and for all separated.

What primal Oneness once was becomes Multiplicity.

This was the beginning of Evolution, the never-ending Adventure of Being

that transcends in Search for Wholeness and Fruition.

 

Nammu sees the changes that take place, and once again the All-Powerful Mother decrees the fate of Her firstborns:

3a - Anu in flight  (Anu in his winged sky-disc, king of the Anunnaki giants on Earth)

An, Beloved Son, from now on you will be ever Above. the Sphere of the Heights will be yours to protect

Let it be called Upper-world (Nibiru), whereupon the Lights of the Spirit will thread.

Knowledge, Inspiration, Dreams and Visions will be yours to share.

Ki, Dearest Daughter, you will lay on my surface, for I need to feel your presence, your embrace.

Let your abode be called Middleworld (Earth),

Sphere of Form and Substance, mundane reality and physical home of everything that lives and grows.

And to give sustenance to That Which is Above, in the Middle and Below, let another realm be found.

I’ll call it Underworld, source of Memory of what was, is and will be,

land of Challenge, realm that will go beyond my very Depths,

Inner Essence that gives Form and Spirit sustenance.

 

2a - Enlil, Anu's son & heir   

          (alien giant gods with very long beards, Anu & his descendants wear royal crowns of animal horns)

Meanwhile, Young Enlil, will dance and stretch, his Formless Power is the Universe’s First Breath.

So will My Seed be in everything there Is to Be as the Inner Power to Grow

and Transform in Multiple combinations of all Sorts.’

Ki, looking up to the Skies, to An, her Brother Spouse, longed for his closeness and touch.

Bits of herself to the Skies reach out, searching for An, dancing all round, up, down and round they fly.

Ki contemplated this mystery and revealed its Meaning: An, beloved, Soul of my Body,

bound as One we can no longer be, but the Intangible that united us still exists.

 

By the Primeval Unity we once were, may all hear what I now declare:

That which is Below will ever be linked to that which is Above here and there I dare to fare!’

From Above, An looked down at his sister-spouse Ki (Antu), longing for her closeness and kiss.

Ki, Beloved, Body of My Soul, bound as One we can no longer be, but the Intangible that united us still exists.

 

So from the Highest Place I’ll watch over you, My Love.

I claim then as mine the Heavens, the Supreme Heights Above

And by the Primeval Unity we once were, may all hear what I now declare:

that Which is Above will be ever united to that Which is Below.

And to remind the Universe of this Great Truth, the horned crown upon the shrine I take as symbols of mine.

May the Universe never forget that the Bull of Heaven and Cow of Earth are one everywhere I dare to fare.’

 

Enlil contemplates the changes taking place.

Out of An’s and Ki’s nest, all by himself, the Primal Mover of the Universe feels bereft.

He then utters a Statement of Regret and a Request

Alone, all alone, I cannot be, so I ask you,

Mother, please stay with me! I need your touch and Company.

I vow from now on to guard you and protect you everywhere I go, your safety more important than my own.

So I ask to take Ki, the Earth, my Mother with me, and together we will build Ways to Eternity.

I’ll be Breath, you’ll be Form.

Please, dearest Mother, come right along and let’s the Universe transform!’

 

In the Heights Above, An wept, his tears Nammu’s waters met.

In the vastness of Nammu’s nurturing Depths, the Skyfather surrenders to a heartfelt sorrow for Ki,

longing for her lost love and kiss.

Nammu accepts the bittersweet tears of her firstborn, and he loses himself in her, accepting her tenderness and love.

 

Mother and Son, An and Nammu, meet and make sweet love, and from the mingling of their bodies a boy and a girl,

2aa - Enki, found in Sin's temple at Khorsabad2 - Ereshkigal (Enki; Ereshkigal, alien giant descendants of King Anu)

Divine Twins (to Nammu) are born.

Enki and Ereshkigal (Ninhursag is Enki‘s twin), you I call,’ says Nammu. ‘

May the Wisdom of the Depths to you belong!

As high as An rests Above, as Deep as my Waters go below, so will you two go: as Within so Without.

Inner Beauty is your Quest, revealed for all to know!’

(BEFORE ALL BEFORES II)

How the Great God/desses and Cosmic Powers came into being

A retelling on the birth of the Great Gods and Goddesses, and the Dark Guardians, the ones who are sometimes our best teachers, if we can see and act beyond their trials

(Texts: All Artifacts, Color Coding, & Writings in Bold Type With Italics Inside Parenthesis, are Added by Editor R. Brown, not the Authors, Translators, or Publishers!)

(gods in blue)

Ki, the Great Cosmic Mound, hardly had time to cry for the loss of Anu, the Skyfather,

her Beloved and Soul Counterpart, for something extremely important was about to happen:

‘Soon, very soon, I know, the time will come, the sacred time of Birth’,

said the Great Goddess, ‘then I will give birth to the Divine Babies,

the Great Gods and Goddess, sons and daughters of mine and Anu, offspring of our great love.

 

  (alien Anunnaki King Anu in his winged sky-disc)

Ah, Anu, from the Great Above wherever you are, my love, watch over me

and those who will grow up to adore you in the Depths Below!’

To her surprise, deep with tenderness and love the voice of the Skyfather sounded loud and true:

‘Body of my Soul, Womb to my Seed, wherever you or my children go in all worlds,

look up skywards and I will be there watching over you.

By my word, by my very being, I bind myself to you from all Heights I trail upon!’

 

Delighted, Ki blew a kiss to the skies, and took action.

To welcome the gods and goddesses to be

She needed a place, a most special place: safe, sacred, pure and sound around herself.

I wish a birth rut, a holy hill, and sacred mound, whereupon the Anunnaki, my very seed and Anu‘s,

the first gods and goddesses, your brothers and sisters, Enlil, will be first found.

 

I’ll call this place Duku, creation chamber of the world, place of the truest judgments, Integrity and Discernment.

Thus, once and for all I reaffirm the Bond Between Heaven and Earth,

3a - Enlil's Ekur-House in Nippur

 (Enlil’s temple / residence in Nippur–Earth Colony Command Center, top added by American archaeologists around 1900)

the Holy Duranki between the Great Below and the Depths Above.

And as I will, so be it!’

Enlil promptly gathered all stones his hands and eyes found.

Ki plastered them her belly round, thus newly created shapes appeared on the ground.

Ki, Lady Fashioner, panted and squeezed until her babies, seed of An and her own, came tumbling without.

2e - Ninhursag & DNA experiments (Ninhursag, Chief Medical Scientist of the Anunnaki on Earth Colony)

Ki, Aruru (Ninhursag), Foetus Loosener, Urash (Ninhursag),

felt them moving unto her holy lap and contentedly smiled at last:

Ki panted and squeezed until her babies, without any labor or pain,

the holy seeds of An and her own, came tumbling without.

She felt them moving unto her holy lap, and a boundless sense of wonder and joy filled her inside out:

I’ve given birth to the Powers that will shape the Land,

I’ve given birth to the Guardians that will protect the Land!

I’ve given birth, I’ve given birth to those who will ensoul the land!

May this day will be forever praised, may this hour for Eternity remembered, for out of my womb,

out of the holy Mound the Anunnaki, the first gods and goddesses of the land have sprouted!’

 

An contemplated the Mystery that took place and from the Heights Above

the Skyfather’s Words could be heard in all spaces: Ki, Beloved Body of my Soul, Sister without peer,

Heart’s Desire and Spouse so dear, many Names will be given to you.

But for me you will forever be Ninhursag,

Queen of the Holy Hill, dearest Ninmah, Most Exalted Lady,

Queen and Best Companion along the Heights I trail You will be remembered,

Beloved, as Nintur, Lady Birth Hut, and nothing or no one will quite compare to you!

2c - young Ninhursag in lab (Ninhursag seated on her throne in her ziggurat in Kish)

Urash, Birth Giver, most sacred Aruru (Ninhursag) everlasting praises will be sung from now on to you!

Lady of Mound, where Life sprouts happy and free.

Body of my Soul, sister without peer,

Heart’s Desire and Spouse so dear, mine is the Voice but for all I sing,

Mother of all Life, Lady of my heart, Beloved and Queen!’

This was how the Great Gods and Goddesses of the Land between the Two Rivers came into being.

 

This was how the Children of Earth and Sky became known in all worlds,

this was how they started to grow in Diversity to reveal the treasures of the Earth and greatness of the Heights.

Most of the children of An and Ninhursag-Ki were beautiful and perfect, the truest expression of a of great love.

Nevertheless, a deep, earlier anguish had left its mark on some.

These babies were the ones scarred in Ki’s womb

by the terrible moment of loss and agony when An was torn from Ki.

They therefore grew in pain and loss, thus bringing ambivalent benedictions without.

Their experience of Primal Oneness and Joy was too short,

for what nurtured them was Ki’s and An’s pain, loneliness and loss.

 

Within the Mother, they felt Pain and Repression, the Opposite of the Stuff Life is made of.

Dark Guardians this is how we will know them from now on,

the Challengers and Toughest Teachers one may find as one goes along.

Theirs will be the Unbalanced Energies eternally fighting Balance everywhere they go.

‘Children of our pain, Dark Guardians of Existence, the most difficult Teachers one may come across,

this is how I feel you will become,’ declared Ninhursag-Ki to Anu

when she saw the scarred little ones come out crying out and screaming out of her sacred womb.

‘Theirs will be the Uneven Energies, eternally fighting Balance wherever they go.

But I, who gave birth to you out of my womb,

I who was the first together with your father, declare a hope to such hard destiny.

 

For the Daring, mastery will be granted over Chaos but only for those who will be able to see beyond pain,

suffering and loss to retrieve the light that was the primeval union of mine with Anu, my first love’.

From his post as a Watcher over Mother Earth, faithful to his promise to keep Her safe, and sound,

young Enlil was stunned by what he saw: ugly, misshapen dark little brothers and sisters

leaving the protection of the Birth Mound, crying out loud.

4c - Ninhursag & Enki (Ninhursag, Anu & others in flying disc above, & Enlil)

Disturbed beyond measure, Enlil turned to Ki, also known as Ninhursag,

Exalted Lady and the Skyfather’s Soul Counterpart.

 

‘Mother, are you alright?

Ninhursag-Ki’s eyes reflected immense sadness: ‘I am terribly sad, but can handle it, Enlil.’

‘Mother, what is going on?

What ails my new brothers and sisters?

Why are they so different?

Are they my real brothers and sisters too?’

 

Ninhursag-Ki sighed deeply:

‘Yes, Enlil, these are your brothers and sisters too, but let them be and follow their own destinies.

Learn to see beyond appearances, my firstborn, to reach out for the True Essency, learn to reach out

to the Source where yourself came from, the Union of all Opposites, The Holy Complementarity that was lost.

Indirectly, Enlil, it was your fault the suffering of these little ones, when you caused the Separation of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, I demand you to let the Dark Guardians be.

Theirs will be another Quest, much harder, I’m afraid so’.

 

5 - Anu above, Enlil, & Enki

 (Apkula / winged eagle-headed pilot, Enki, Anu in his sky-disc, Enlil, & another pilot)

A shadow of guilt and regret covered the face of the young Lord Air:

”If I am at the root of all their suffering,

I vow by my Gifts of Mind, Thoughts and Never-ending Inspiration to try and understand them

to heal what needs to be healed, to make whole what was once broken.

Mother, this is such a brave new world, we cannot do it all alone!

I long for the company of my brothers and sisters to ensoul the world, make be and grow!’

 

Because Words of Creation have been forming in Enlil’s mind,

and they will take shape in each and every little god and goddess that come out of the Duku.

These brother and sisters, gods and goddesses-to-be, like himself are the true offspring of Ki and An.

They will continue the Work of Creation started up by Mother Nammu.

But Enlil is uncertain about the Dark Ones.

His bright, inquisitive Mind cannot accept the Unknown, the Bizarre, and this is what the dark guardians are.

 

“I still don’t understand what is Chaos or Darkness in its complicated patterns”,

thought endlessly Enlil,”but of order, the power of mind,

the conception of what needs to exist before action, this I am learning to know.

And the Divine Guide to every concept along all Existence it is the Word

born of Ensouled Silence which was the meeting point of Nammu, Ki and Anu.

Not the Spoken Word, but the Revelation born of Silence that is not empty but full of Meanings to Be-Come.

This Divine, Unspoken Word will lead the Way

and its power will be the Silence of Accomplished Deeds to Transform.

2d - Enlil in Nippur (Enlil artifact, seated upon his throne in Nippur)

I, Enlil, vow to follow the Silence that is Full of Meaning, I will live its Truth with the Innermost of my Being,

I will be the Inspiration that will be the Energy of Creation,

I will be the Holy Breath that permeates all that lives, gentle and yet strong to create all worlds.”

 

Enlil‘s logical, brilliant mind could not yet conceive of the Unknown,

of the Bizarre and Unclear and this is the Essence of all Dark Guardians.

But although he tried and tried, he could never achieve his main goal, to bring back the Dark Guardians into the fold.

The oldest, biggest and fiercest of the Dark Guardians,

Kur, found his way out the farthest he could from the Duku, out of Ki’s involving hug.

“I need to get away,” Kur thought.

“Closeness only brings pain eventually one day.”

 

Kur looked round and realized he wasn´t quite alone.

There were others, not many, as scarred as himself.

So he turned away from the face of Ninhursag-Ki.

She, the Earth Mother, loved all Her Children.

Kur and the little dark ones were her own and An’s, the children of their loss and sorrow.

The Great Mother felt Kur’s retreat and immediately moved towards the scarred son,

despite the fact that he deliberately tried to avoid her.

 

Kur, son born of my pain and loss, external differences are but the veil to cover True Essence.

All of you came from me and Anu, and I love you all in equal measure and form,

Perhaps for you, who were wounded in my womb I care more deeply so.

Kur, fruit of the loss for the deepest desire of my Body and Soul, try and do what I am myself doing,

remake yourself and be whole, transform your present into a a future of hope and growth.

Leave pain as sorrow behind, start a brand new time in your life!’

 

For a brief but intense moment mother and son really linked, but he broke the bond.

‘Don’t leave us’, said Ninhursag‘s eyes, but she already knew that Kur had decided to leave.

‘Mother, this place is alien to me.

And I am the alien in this place‘, cried out Kur, looking beyond the Mound,

beyond the Stony Earth that brought him into being.

He did not see Enlil‘s expression of utter astonishment and dismay.

A bitter cry of rage, anguish and violence came out from within Kur.

I will never fit in here! I don’t want to!

So I’ll leave for other places, here coming no more.

But in case there is anyone as scarred and outcast as me, I say ‘Do come along!’

 

So Kur did slip over the edge of the world, followed by his dark misshapen siblings.

Long they traveled, underneath caves and mounds of the stony earth

and beyond the deep waters of Nammu the Sea.

finally, over the edge of the Middleworld, at the entrance of the Underworld,

Kur and his dark little brothers and sisters stopped and kept watch, just waiting.

Kur, looking at the ugly little faces raised towards his,

straightened his back and raised his voice so that it could be heard afar:

 

Father and Mother, I claim the ends of the Earth for my domain and for my own kind.

And let it be known that we will challenge and fight to the very end

whoever dare to venture in our land! And beyond!‘

A dark cheer seconded Kur’s words: We will fight to the very end, and beyond!’

From the safety of the Duku, the Chamber of Creation,

Enlil and Ninhursag, heard Kur’s and his followers’ shout.

Immediately, Enlil, whose powers have grown enormously, now that he was a teenager god,

made a barrier formed the the strongest winds he could create and he projected them all to the land’s end,

where the Middleworld met the still empty Depths Below.

 

               (Air God Enlil, Sky Lord Anu, & Enki in flight)

The voice of the Air god sounded loud and clear in all worlds: ‘By the Strength of the Winds of my Desire,

from this moment on I vow to banish the powers of darkness to the boundaries of the Physical World.

Mine is the duty to protect mother Earth,

mine is the atonement for having separated what was born to be united.

Mine is the duty to re-establish Balance and Order, mine is the Promise this vow to fulfill

wherever I go to ensure the growth and success of what I call now civilization.

I vow to raise the Sword of Truth and the Power of Knowledge and Discernment to protect all worlds!’

 

It was this way that Life’s Energies were created and manifested,

under the tutelage of the ones who called themselves from then on the Hosts of Heaven and Earth.

But Ninhursag never stopped grieving for the Dark Guardians for many, many years on a roll.

It was one of these times when the Great Mother and Queen was immerse in her thoughts,

looking at the stars, that she saw the Bull of Heaven take Human Form.

Delight so great filled Beloved Earth,

  5m - Enlil, Ninurta, & possibly Nusku

         (Adad atop Taurus The Bull)                            (Enlil, son Ninurta atop Taurus, & rival Marduk)

as she realized the Age of Taurus was back in the Skies for brand new time.

 

‘It is me, Beloved’, said Anu, and Ki did not blink twice and rushed to his arms.

In the minutes that followed, the magic of their sacred mating took hold and it seemed there had

been no separation of Heaven and Earth for millenia long.

‘But how…?’, she asked, to make sure she knew.

 

Anu gave her a quick squeeze, laughed and replied: ‘I followed your movements through the skies

2b - complete solar system with Nibiru, Pluto was discovered in 1930s1d - Zecharia Sitchin, a real hero

                                    (Mr. Zecharia Sitchin, a pioneer & hero!)

                 (knowledge of our solar system — impossible for earthlings to know, obvious alien star knowledge)

and saw that it takes 26,000 years for you to go round the solar system and travel along my stars.

3a - Nibiru's main orbit (Nibiru / Planet X)

We may have met, or finally made aware of each other, in the first Age of Taurus in time immemorial,

for there was yet no time at that moment.

But this was the way you called me, this was the form I chose to come back to you for a while.

So by the winds of my Desire I came to you, who are the Body of my Wandering Soul,

dreaming with the reality of your touch.’

 

She kissed him back passionately.

‘Come, beloved, and see this beautiful, green and brown earth we created together

and whose beings are the multifaceted versions of our offspring.’

 

Together, they wandered all over the Living Earth to enjoy the Never-ending

Workings of Creation and Wonders of Evolution.

‘Amazing, isn’t it? All there is came from mother Nammu and us two’,

2bb - Ninhursag & lab DNA experiments2b - Ninhursag, Chief Medical Officer

   (Ninhursag‘s early failed attempts to develop “modern-man”, replacement workers for the gods)

said Ninhursag to Anu after they had visited the whole earth.

‘From the heights where I was I saw all this unfold, but nothing really compares to being here

and see, feel, hear, smell and touch this jolly world.’

 

A shadow crossed Ninhursag‘s visage.

‘Not everything that bears our seed is pleasing to the eye… or soul.’

He felt the pain and disappointment in her voice.

‘Are you referring to our children who are the Dark Guardians?’

It was a rhetoric question, because he knew the answer.

‘Yes’, she replied with her heartbreaking sincerity.

He hugged her for a long moment, and whispered:

‘Don’t feel so guilty for what happened to them’ ‘But I wish I had done more!

They left because they wanted to follow their own paths and I… let them go, let them be!’

 

It was the first time that Ninhursag admitted the full truth,

her frustration and immense sadness towards the Guardians of Darkness.

At the same time, it was a relief to share her doubts with Anu.

Of course she had to: he was her partner and son to her and his offspring!

‘I wish I had done more myself, beloved’, admitted Anu.

‘Nevertheless, when I look at everything that came into being from Mother Nammu and ourselves,

this Physical World full of Wonders and Challenges that reflect our greatness

and yet follow its own designs guided by our signs, I don’t think we did such a bad job.

Even considering the Dark Guardians, those who teach through pain and loss,

but only for those who are capable to see the smile beyond the tears.

Do you know why I am convinced of this truth?’

‘No. Why? ”Because of a Greater Mystery we are all part of,

and which is somehow always ahead, waiting to unfold shaped by Free Will, for nothing is a clear-cut plan,

but a Promise of Wholeness and Holiness on the Go.

Even gods and goddesses, who are the Beams of Light that point out the way to eternity,

are subject to this Mystery, which we cannot fully dominate,

but handle and sometimes interfere, under the right words and biddings.’

 

Taken by surprise, Ninhursag held her breath.

Anu‘s thoughtful eyes held hers as in the past, with the same intensity and longing,

so present as they had never been apart… he was real and touchable, not pure unreachable Spirit.

And suddenly there was no past, just glorious present.

Ninhursag smiled finally, anticipating the beloved’s answer,

surprised for not being capable to understand what he was making so easy to see.

‘I guess I know what you mean, my love.

What a great Mystery you are talking about, and with it, we can hardly interfere!

How badly I needed this knowledge and knowing, how dumb I was not to know!’

 

He stopped her with a kiss.

One of the most delightful ways to prevent Ninhursag from thinking when he had other things in mind.

‘What is this great mystery then, Lady of my Heart, Mind, Body and Soul?’

Ninhursag‘s smile was a sight to behold: ‘The name of this Great Mystery is Future,

the cycle and wheel that never ends, bringing return and healing

always in a higher level to accomplish evolution and growth.

But the Mystery lies in the fact that no future can be built without the past and present.

We sometimes cannot interfere that much, as it was with the Dark Guardians, our Children of Darkness.

I wish I had know all this before, not to have grieved so much!’

 

Anu kissed Ninhursag deeply and completed her thoughts: “Whenever I thought of the future,

long and not so long ago, I never lost faith and hope to hold you close in my arms again.

Mine was the desire to see come true the Dream that brought me today to you.

The Future will always bring Brightness and Hope, but Brightness and Hope will only happen

for those who will keep the flame alive to make their dreams real in all worlds.

It is the present that holds the key to all destinies, and when one works with passion, integrity and daring,

reshaping goals as the Path unfolds, the Triumph will come to the Spirit and Matter, the coming together of the Soul.

As the Sky is married to Earth from the Highest Heights to the Depths Below!

Enki’s Journey to Nibru: translation

(gods in blue)

         1-8 In those remote days, when the fates were determined; in a year when An (Anu) brought about abundance,

       and people broke through the earth like herbs and plants — then the lord of the Abzu, king Enki,

        3b - Enki image2 - Enki, the wisest god (Enki, King Anu‘s eldest & wisest son)

       Enki, the lord who determines the fates, built up his temple entirely from silver and lapis lazuli (gem stone).

       Its silver and lapis lazuli were the shining daylight.

       Into the shrine of the Abzu he brought joy.

       4a - Eridu, buried by Noah's Flood

             (Enki‘s patron city of Eridu buried through thousands of years of time)

         9-17 An artfully made bright crenellation rising out from the abzu was erected for lord Nudimmud (Enki).

       He built the temple from precious metal, decorated it with lapis lazuli, and covered it abundantly with gold.

       1a - Eridu, Enki's city in the marshes (Enki‘s Eridu on bank of Euphrates River, Sumer)

       In Eridug (Eridu), he built the house on the bank.

       Its brickwork (advanced hot fired mud-brick ziggurat) makes utterances and gives advice.

       Its eaves roar like a bull; the temple of Enki bellows (alien technologies).

       During the night the temple praises its lord and offers its best for him.

       7a - Enki & Isimud, his vizier, Roman Janus = January (Enki & his vizier Isimud = Roman god Janus = January, looking backward & forward simultaneously)

         18-25 Before lord Enki, Isimud the (double-faced) minister praises the temple; he goes to the temple and speaks to it.

       He goes to the brick building and addresses it: Temple, built from precious metal and lapis lazuli;

        2bb - Ningishzidda placing the temple peg for Gudea 2b - Ningishzidda, the Fashioner2a - Ningishzidda, Master Builder, foundation peg (Enki‘s amazing son Ningishzidda lays the foundation pegs to the gods ziggurat residences, Ninsun stands in praise of Ningishzidda)

       whose foundation pegs are driven into the Abzu; which has been cared for by the prince in the Abzu!

       Like the Tigris and the Euphrates, it is mighty and awe-inspiring (?).

       Joy has been brought into Enki‘s Abzu.

         26-32 Your lock has no rival.

       Your bolt is a fearsome lion.

       Your roof beams are the bull of heaven, an artfully made bright headgear.

       Your reed-mats are like lapis lazuli, decorating the roof-beams.

       Your vault is a bull (some mss. have instead: wild bull) raising its horns.

         (beasts of protection fashioned for mortal alien gods, putting “the fear of god” upon disloyal earthlings)

       Your door is a lion who seizes a man (1 ms. has instead: is awe-inspiring).

       Your staircase is a lion coming down on a man.

           33-43 Abzu (Persian Gulf marshes), pure place which fulfills its purpose!

       E-engura! Your lord has directed his steps towards you.

       Enki, lord of the abzu, has embellished your foundation pegs with cornelian.

        5bb - Enki's waterway in Eridu (the joyful docking at Enki‘s house E-engura)

       He has adorned you with …… and (?) lapis lazuli.

       The temple of Enki is provisioned with holy wax (?);

       it is a bull obedient to its master, roaring by itself and giving advice at the same time.

       E-engura (Enki’s house), which Enki has surrounded with a holy reed fence!

       In your midst a lofty throne is erected, your door-jamb is the holy locking bar of heaven. “

          44-48 Abzu, pure place, place where the fates are determined — the lord of wisdom, lord Enki,

       (1 ms. adds the line: the lord who determines the fates,)

       Nudimmud (Enki), the lord of Eridug (Eridu), lets nobody look into its midst.

       Your abgal priests let their hair down their backs.

         49-61 Enki‘s beloved Eridug, E-engura whose inside is full of abundance!

       Abzu, life of the Land, beloved of Enki!

       Temple built on the edge, befitting the artful divine powers (alien technologies)!

       Eridug, your shadow extends over the midst of the sea!

       Rising sea without a rival; mighty awe-inspiring river which terrifies the Land!

       E-engura, high citadel (?) standing firm on the earth!

        5ba - Sumerian ship coming to port(Enki‘s house with communication towers on edge of the marshlands)

       Temple at the edge of the engur, a lion in the midst of the Abzu; lofty temple of Enki,

       which bestows wisdom on the Land; your cry, like that of a mighty rising river, reaches (?) king Enki.

        62-67 He made the lyre, the aljar instrument, the balaj drum with the drumsticks (some mss. have instead:

       the lyre, the aljar instrument, the balaj drum of your sur priests  (1 ms. has instead: your lyre and aljar instrument,

       the balaj drum with the drumsticks) (1 ms. has instead: the lyre, the aljar instrument, the balaj drum

       and even the plectrum (?)), the harhar, the sabitum, and the …… miritum instruments offer their best for his holy temple.

       The …… resounded by themselves with a sweet sound.

       The holy aljar instrument of Enki played for him on his own and seven singers sang (some mss. have instead: tigi drums resounded).

          68-7“What Enki says is irrefutable; …… is well established (?).

      “This is what Isimud spoke to the brick building; he praised the E-engura with sweet songs (1 ms. has instead: duly).

       71-82 As it has been built, as it has been built; as Enki has raised Eridug up,

       it is an artfully built mountain which floats on the water.

       His shrine (?) spreads (?) out into the reed-beds; birds brood (1 ms. adds: at night) in its green orchards laden with fruit.

       The suhur carp play among the honey-herbs, and the ectub carp dart among the small gizi reeds.

       When Enki rises, the fishes rise before him like waves.

       He has the abzu stand as a marvel, as he brings joy into the engur.     

         83-92 Like the sea, he is awe-inspiring; like a mighty river, he instils fear.

       The Euphrates rises before him as it does before the fierce south wind.

       His punting pole is Nirah (some mss. have instead: Imdudu); his oars are the small reeds.

        5a - Enki in the abzu-marshes (alien gods, builders of ships, transporting goods, etc. down river)

       When Enki embarks, the year will be full of abundance.

       The ship departs of its own accord, with tow rope held (?) by itself.

       As he leaves the temple of Eridug, the river gurgles (?) to its lord: its sound is a calf’s mooing, the mooing of a good cow.

        7e - unknowns, Isumud, & Enki

           (Ninsun, her mixed-breed son-king, Isumud, & Enki in the Abzu, father to some of Ninsun‘s children)

         93-95 Enki had oxen slaughtered, and had sheep offered there lavishly (food for alien gods).

       Where there were no ala drums, he installed some in their places;

       where there were no bronze ub drums, he dispatched some to their places.

        3a - Enlil's Ekur-House in Nippur (Enlil‘s E-kur, mud-brick-built mountain residence in Nippur, alien Anunnaki gods Communications Center / Command Central for Earth Colony, top of structure was added by American archaeologists in 1900)

         96-103 He directed his steps on his own to Nibru and entered the Giguna, the shrine of Nibru (Nippur, named after Nibiru).

       Enki reached for (?) the beer, he reached for (?) the liquor.

        3a - Enki on Dilmun seal (Enki & daughter Ninsikila; Enki & others in Dilmun)

       He had liquor poured into big bronze containers, and had emmer-wheat beer pressed out (?).

       In kukuru containers which make the beer good he mixed beer-mash.

       By adding date-syrup to its taste (?), he made it strong.

       He …… its bran-mash.

         104-116 In the shrine of Nibru, Enki provided a meal for Enlil, his father (younger 1/2 brother).

       He seated An (his father) at the head of the table and seated Enlil next to An.

       He seated Nintud (Ninhursag, his sister) in the place of honour and seated the Anuna (Aninnaki) gods at the adjacent places (?).

       All of them were drinking and enjoying beer and liquor.

       They filled the bronze aga vessels to the brim and started a competition, drinking from the bronze vessels of Urac (Ninhursag).

       My son (older ½ brother), king Enki, has built up the temple!

        (Eridu ruins)

       He has made Eridug rise up (?) (1 ms. has instead: come out) from the ground like a mountain!

       He has built it in a pleasant place, in Eridug, the pure place, where no one is to enter —

       a temple built with silver and decorated with lapis lazuli,

       where holy songs make all of the house a lovely place — the shrine of the Abzu, the good destiny of Enki,
