         “IN ERIDU (Enki‘s patron city, it is not Uruk as suggested below!):

         ALULIM RULED AS KING 28,800 YEARS.

       ELALGAR RULED 43,200 YEARS.

       ERIDU WAS ABANDONED.

 

       KINGSHIP WAS TAKEN TO BAD-TIBIRA (Dumuzi‘s patron city).

       UBUR-TUTU (Noah‘s father) RULED 36,000 YEARS.

       TOTAL: 8 KINGS, THEIR YEARS: 222,600…”

Context: 5 other copies of the Antediluvian king list are known only: MS 3175, 2 in Oxford: Ashmolean Museum, one is similar to this list, containing 10 kings and 6 cities, the other is a big clay cylinder of the Sumerian king list, on which the kings before the flood form the first section, and has the same 8 kings in the same 5 cities as the present.

A 4th copy is in Berkeley: Museum of the University of California, and is a school tablet. A 5th tablet, a small fragment, is in Istanbul.

Commentary: The list provides the beginnings of Sumerian and the world’s history as the Sumerians knew it. The cities listed were all very old sites, and the names of the kings are names of old types within Sumerian name-giving. Thus it is possible that correct traditions are contained, though the sequence given need not be correct. The city dynasties may have overlapped. It is generally held that the Antediluvian king list is reflected in Genesis 5, which lists the 10 patriarchs from Adam to Noah, all living from 365 years (Enoch) to 969 years (Methuselah), altogether 8,575 years. It is possible that the 222,600 years of the king list reflects a more realistic understanding of the huge span of time from Creation to the Flood, and the lengths of the dynasties involved. The first of the 5 cities mentioned , Eridu, is (not) Uruk, in the area where the myths places the Garden of Eden, while the last city, Shuruppak, is the city of Ziusudra, the Sumerian Noah.

does not distinguish between good and evil.

Subir (fire & brimstone) came down like rain. It struck hard.

In the city where bright daylight used to shine forth, the day darkened.

In Eridug where bright daylight used to shine forth, the day darkened.

As if the sun had set below the horizon, it turned into twilight.

4 Its jicgijal.

5-9 Because of this, Enki, king of the Abzu, stayed outside his city as if it were an alien city.

It bowed its neck down to the ground.

Eridu‘s lady, holy Damgalnuna (Damkina, or Ninhursag, Enki‘s spouse), the faithful cow,

the compassionate one, clawed at her breast, clawed at her eyes.

She uttered a frenzied cry.

She held a dagger and a sword in her two hands — they clashed together.

10-15 She tore out her hair like rushes, uttering a bitter lament:

“You, my city whose woman does not dwell there, whose charms do not satisfy her —

where is a lament uttered bitterly for you?

Eridug! You, my city whose woman does not dwell there, whose charms do not satisfy her —

He destroyed the Ki-ur, the great place.

30-36 “Lord Enki, who has ever seen such a destruction as that of your city Eridug?

Who has ever seen such a misfortune as that of Ec-abzu, your house?”

No one goes up to his offering terrace.

At the lunches, in his great dining-hall, they do not call his name.

Enki, king of the Abzu, felt distressed, felt anxious.

At the words of his spouse, he himself began to wail.

He lay down and fasted.

37-44 My king, you must not be distressed, you must not be anxious.

3b - Enki image (Enki & descendants struggle to follow along with Enlil‘s descendants’ decisions)

Father Enki, you must not be distressed, you must not be anxious.

May your house say to you “Be rested”.

May your holy dais also say joyfully to you “Sit down”.

May your father An, the king of the gods, satisfy your heart.

A person, a humble man, brings you a lament over your wife’s faithful house.

When he sings it before you, may that person soothe your heart.

When he recites a prayer, look kindly upon him.

Enki Builds E-Engurra

Fonte: Kramer, Samuel Noah (1988) Sumerian Mythology, University of Pennsylvania Press, West Port, Connecticut

Myth that tells how Enki built a house (temple) for himself in Eridu, the oldest city in Sumer according to tradition, the first of five cities founded before the Great Flood.

The temple, decorated with silver, lapis lazuli, carnelian and gold, was established on the bank of a river, where its foundations reached deep into the underground sweet, fertilizing waters, called the Apsu.

The temple had magical qualities: the brickwork gave Enki advice, while the surrounding reed fences roared like a bull. The roof-beam was shaped like the bull of heaven, and a lion gripping a man formed the gateway. The overall effect was described as a lusty bull.

The bustle of activity there was compared to the drama of a river rising during a flood, Enki filled the building with lyres, drums and every other kind of musical instruments.

Surrounding the temple was a delightful garden full of fruit trees, with birds singing all around and frolicking carp playing among the reeds in the streams.

After finishing the construction of the E-engurra, the temple, Enki called up the beat of the ala and the uh drums and set out by barge to Nippur, in order to receive the other gods’ blessings.

The fish danced before him on the way to Nippur, and Enki slaughtered several oxen and sheep for the feast to come.

Once in Nippur, Enki started preparing the feast.
5 - Anu is well received on Earth5 - Anu is well received on Earth

          5 - Anu is well received on Earth5 - Anu is well received on Earth (King Anu lands on Earth, celebrations begin)

Paying attention to protocol, Anu was at the head of the group, with Enlil beside him and the goddess Nintu (Ninhursag) in a seat of honor nearby. In the happy celebration that followed, all the great gods pronounced blessings on Enki‘s new home, and Anu stated: My son Enki (Anu‘s first-born male) has made his temple (residence)…. grow from the ground like a mountain” (mud brick ziggurat).

After the water of creation had been decreed,

After the name hegal (abundance) born in heaven,

Like plant and herb had clothed the land,

5 - Enki lived in the abzu marshes of Eridu (Enki in the Abzu, marshlands of Persian Gulf)

The lord of the abyss, the king Enki,

Enki the Lord who decrees the fates,

Built his house of silver and lapis lazuli (blue-hued gem stone);

Its silver and lapis lazuli, like sparkling light,

The father fashioned fittingly in the abyss.

The creatures of bright countenances and wise, coming forth from the abyss,

Stood all about the lord Nudimmud (Enki‘s pet name);

Follows a long passage in which Isimud, Enki‘s counselor/prime minister, sings the praises of the sea-house. Then Enki raises the city of Eridu from the abyss and makes it float over the water like a lofty mountain. Its green fruit-bearing gardens he fills with birds; fishes too he makes abundant.

Then Enki raises the city of Eridu from the abyss and makes it float over the water like a lofty mountain.

Its green fruit-bearing gardens he fills with birds; fishes too he makes abundant.

Enki is now ready to proceed by boat to Nippur, where he will obtain Enlil‘s blessings or his newly built city and temple (residence). He therefore rises from the abyss:)

           3l - Enki & modern man 3c - Enki in the Abzu (Enki raises the fishes)

When Enki rises, the fish…. rise,

The abyss stands in wonder,

In the sea joy enters,

Fear comes over the deep,

Terror holds the exalted river,

The Euphrates, the South Wind lifts it in waves.

Enki seats himself in his boat and first arrives in Eridu itself. In Eridu, he slaughters many oxen and sheep before proceeding to Nippur. Upon his arrival, a feast is prepared for all gods and Enlil in special:

             (Enki & Enlil drinking at the ziggurat dining hall in Nippur)

Enki in the shrine Nippur,

Gives his brother Enlil bread to eat,

In the first place he seated Anu (the Skyfather),

6-anu-above-enlil-enki

   (Apkulla / pilot, Enki, father & King, Skyfather Anu in his winged sky-disc, Anu‘s son & heir Enlil, & winged eagle-headed Apkulla / pilot)

Next to Anu he seated Enlil,

Nintu (Ninhursag) he seated at the big side,

The Anunnaki seated themselves one after the other.

          Enlil says to the Anunnaki:

            1h-procession-lg  (King Anu‘s descendants in a parade on Earth Colony)

“Ye great gods who are standing about,

My brother has built a house, the king Enki;

Eridu, like a mountain, he has raised up from the earth,

         In a good place he has built it.

Eridu Quotes From Texts

Eridu, Enki’s Patron City “Home of the Faraway”

 

(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 bluemixed-breed demigods in teal…)

 

Eridu – . 1st city on Earth, Enki’s city

 

. Eridu, “Place of the Waters”, “Home of the Faraway”

. Enki’s temple was built there; it was re-built many times in history.

. It was approximately 3,800 B.C. when man’s first civilization, after the flood, began in Eridu.

 

Kingship in Eridu

When kingship was first handed down from Heaven (the concept of kingship),

the city of Eridu was chosen as the seat of kingship.

In Eridu, Alulim (mixed-breed) ruled for 28,800 years as king and Alalgar ruled for 36,000 years.

The two kings ruled a total of 64,800 years and then kingship was removed to Bad-tibira. …”

        

         “My son had for himself a House built;

         The lord Enki Eridu like the mountain on Earth he raised;

         His House, in a beautiful place he built.

         To the place, Eridu, no one uninvited can enter

         In it’s sanctuary, from the Abzu the Divine Formulas (disc knowledge on all things) Enki has deposited …”

 

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.

        they had made the small animals that come up from out of the earth,

        come from the earth in abundance and had let there be, as it befits it,

        gazelles, wild donkeys, and four-footed beasts in the desert.

        …and let me have him advise; let me have him oversee their labour,

        and let him teach the nation to follow along unerringly like cattle!

        When the royal sceptre was coming down from heaven,

        the august crown and the royal throne being already down from heaven,

        he (the king) regularly performed to perfection the august divine services and offices,

        laid the bricks of those cities in pure spots.

            (Biblical “Eden”, the land of the gods “between the rivers” Euphrates & Tigris)

        They were named by name and allotted half-bushel baskets.

                                    (Ninlil‘s patron city ruins of Shuruppak, Enlil & his equal spouse Ninlil)

        These cities, which had been named by names, and had been allotted half-bushel baskets,

        dredged the canals, which were blocked with purplish wind-borne clay, and they carried water.

        Their cleaning of the smaller canals established abundant growth.”

          “That day Nintur (Ninhursag) wept over her creatures and holy Inanna was full of grief over their people;

        but Enki took counsel with his own heart.

        An, Enlil, Enki, and Ninhursaga had the gods of heaven and earth swear by the names of An and Enlil.

        At that time, Ziusudra (Noah) was king and lustration priest.

        He fashioned, being a seer, the god of giddiness and stood in awe beside it, wording his wishes humbly.

            7e - Noah & Enki behind reed wall  (Noah overhears Enki‘s warnings of a coming flood)

         As he stood there regularly day after day something that was not a dream was appearing:

         conversation a swearing of oaths by heaven and earth,

         a touching of throats and the gods bringing their thwarts up to Kiur.

        And as Ziusudra stood there beside it, he went on hearing:

         “Step up to the wall (reed wall hiding Enki & Ningishzidda) to my left and listen!

          (Noah overhears Enki‘s warnings of a coming flood through a reed wall)

        Let me speak a word to you at the wall and may you grasp what I say, may you heed my advice!

        By our hand a flood will sweep over the cities of the half-bushel baskets, and the country;

        the decision, that mankind is to be destroyed has been made.

        A verdict, a command of the assembly cannot be revoked,

        an order of An and Enlil is not known ever to have been countermanded,

        their kingship, their term, has been uprooted they must bethink themselves of that.

        Now…What I have to say to you…”

[lost account of Enki‘s advice to build a boat and load it with pairs of living things, and Ziusudra‘s (Noah‘s) compliance]

         “All the evil winds, all stormy winds gathered into one and with them, then,

        the flood was sweeping over the cities of the half-bushel baskets for seven days and seven nights.

        After the flood had swept over the country,

          7i - Utnapishtim in the Ark  (Noah & family survive in the Ark)

        after the evil wind had tossed the big boat about on the great waters,

        the sun came out spreading light over heaven and earth.

        Ziusudra then drilled an opening in the big (submergeable) boat.

        And the gallant Utu (Sun god) sent his light into the interior of the big boat.

        Ziusudra, being (mixed-breed offspring of Enki,) king,

        stepped up before Utu kissing the ground before him.

        The king was butchering oxen, was being lavish with the sheep

        Barley cakes, crescents together with…

        …he was crumbling for him juniper, the pure plant of the mountains,

        he filled on the fire and with a …clasped to the breast he…”

        the life’s breath of earth. that he is allied with all of you.

        He will disembark the small animals that come up from the earth!

        Ziusudra, being king, stepped up before An and Enlil kissing the ground.

        And An and Enlil after honoring him were granting him life like a god’s,

        were making lasting breath of life, like a god’s, descend into him.

1y-ancient-sumeria2  (Sumer, land of the gods “between the rivers” Euphrates & Tigris)

to overturn the divine powers of Sumer, to lock up the favorable reign in its home,

to destroy the city, to destroy the house, to destroy the cattle-pen, to level the sheepfold;

that the cattle should not stand in the pen, that the sheep should not multiply in the fold,

that watercourses should carry brackish water, that weeds should grow in the fertile fields,

that mourning plants should grow in the open country,

12-21 that the mother should not seek out her child, that the father should not say “O my dear wife!”,

that the junior wife should take no joy in his embrace, that the young child should not grow vigorous on his knee,

that the wet-nurse should not sing lullabies; to change the location of kingship, to defile the seeking of oracles,

to take kingship away from the Land, to cast the eye of the storm on all the land,

to obliterate the divine plans by the order of An (Anu) and Enlil;

  (Anu, King of the Anunnaki giants, in his winged sky-disc)

22-26 after An (Anu) had frowned upon all the lands, after Enlil had looked favorably on an enemy land,

 (Enlil, King Anu‘s son & heir, born of the Anunnaki “double seed” law of succession)

after Nintud (Ninhursag) had scattered the creatures that she had created,

after Enki had altered the course of the Tigris and Euphrates, after Utu had cast his curse on the roads and highways;

27-37 so as to obliterate the divine powers of Sumer, to change its preordained plans,

 (early photo of Ur ruins prior excavation)

to alienate the divine powers of the reign of kingship of Urim (Ur),

to humiliate the princely son in his house E-kic-nu-jal (holy of holies within Ur ziggurat),

to break up the unity of the people of Nanna (Nannar), numerous as ewes;

to change the food offerings of Urim, the shrine of magnificent food offerings;

that its people should no longer dwell in their quarters, that they should be given over to live in an inimical place;

that Cimacki and Elam, the enemy, should dwell in their place;

that its shepherd, in his own palace, should be captured by the enemy,

that (King) Ibbi-Suen should be taken to the land Elam in fetters,

that from Mount Zabu on the edge of the sea to the borders of Ancan,

like a swallow that has flown from its house, he should never return to his city;

38-46 that on the two banks of the Tigris and of the Euphrates bad weeds should grow,

that no one should set out on the road, that no one should seek out the highway,

that the city and its settled surroundings should be razed to ruin-mounds;

that its numerous black-headed people should be slaughtered;

that the hoe should not attack the fertile fields, that seed should not be planted in the ground,

that the melody of the cowherds’ songs should not resound in the open country,

that butter and cheese should not be made in the cattle-pen, that dung should not be stacked on the ground,

that the shepherd should not enclose the sacred sheepfold with a fence,

that the song of the churning should not resound in the sheepfold;

47-55 to decimate the animals of the open country, to finish off all living things,

that the four-legged creatures of Cakkan should lay no more dung on the ground,

that the marshes should be so dry as to be full of cracks and have no new seed,

that sickly-headed reeds should grow in the reed-beds, that they should be covered by a stinking morass,

that there should be no new growth in the orchards, that it should all collapse by itself

so as quickly to subdue Urim (Ur) like a roped ox, to bow its neck to the ground:

the great charging wild bull, confident in its own strength,

the primeval city of lordship and kingship, built on sacred ground.

56-57 Its fate cannot be changed. Who can overturn it?

It is the command of An and Enlil. Who can oppose it?

58-68 An frightened the very dwellings of Sumer, the people were afraid.

  (Enlil, Anu, & Enki  traverses the skies in his sky-disc)

Enlil blew an evil storm, silence lay upon the city.

  (Ninurta relief discovered in ancient Sumer ruins, artifacts of the giant gods & their giant mixed-breed offspring appointed to kingships, are shamefully being destroyed by Radical Islam, attempting to hide the truth of our forgotten past)

Ninjirsu (Ninurta) poured Sumer away like milk to the dogs.

Turmoil descended upon the Land, something that no one had ever known,

something unseen, which had no name, something that could not be fathomed.

The lands were confused in their fear.

The god of the city turned away, its shepherd vanished.

69-78 The people, in their fear, breathed only with difficulty.

The storm immobilized them, the storm did not let them return.

There was no return for them, the time of captivity did not pass.

What did Enlil, the shepherd (Commander) of the black-headed people, do?

Enlil, to destroy the loyal households, to decimate the loyal men,

to put the evil eye on the sons of the loyal men, on the first-born,

Enlil then (after nuclear missile attacks) sent down Gutium (ape-like primitives, barbarians) from the mountains.

Their advance was as the flood of Enlil that cannot be withstood.

The great wind of the countryside filled the countryside, it advanced before them.

The extensive countryside was destroyed, no one moved about there.

79-92 The dark time was roasted by hailstones and flames.

The bright time was wiped out by a shadow.

(2 mss. add 2 lines: On that bloody day, mouths were crushed, heads were crashed.

The storm was a harrow coming from above, the city was struck by a hoe.)

On that day, heaven rumbled, the earth trembled, the storm worked without respite.

Heaven was darkened, it was covered by a shadow; the mountains roared.

Utu (the Sun God) lay down at the horizon, dust passed over the mountains.

Nanna (the Moon Crescent God) lay at the zenith, the people were afraid.

The city …… stepped outside.

The foreigners in the city even chased away its dead.

Large trees were uprooted, the forest growth was ripped out.

The orchards were stripped of their fruit, they were cleaned of their offshoots.

The crop drowned while it was still on the stalk, the yield of the grain diminished.

The father turned away from his wife without saying “O my wife!”

The mother turned away from her child without saying “O my child!”

He who had a productive estate neglected his estate without saying “O my estate!”

The rich man took an unfamiliar path away from his possessions.

In those days the kingship of the Land was defiled.

The tiara and crown that had been on the king’s head were both spoiled.

The lands that had followed the same path were split into disunity.

The food offerings of Urim, the shrine of magnificent food offerings, were changed for the worse.

104-111 Its king sat immobilized in the palace, all alone.

Ibbi-Suen was sitting in anguish in the palace, all alone (last king of Ur).

In E-namtila, his place of delight, he wept bitterly.

The devastating flood was leveling everything (blasts, then nuclear fall-out).

Like a great storm it roared over the earth — who could escape it? — to destroy the city, to destroy the house,

so that traitors would lie on top of loyal men and the blood of traitors flow upon loyal men.

Damgalnuna (Enki‘s spouse Damkina, sometimes Enki‘s spouse Ninhursag), the mother of the E-mah, wept bitter tears.

Its sacred Jipar of en-ship was defiled.

Its en priest was snatched from the Jipar and carried off to enemy territory.

292-302 Enlil threw open the door of the grand gate to the wind.

In Urim no one went to fetch food, no one went to fetch water.

Its people rushed around like water being poured from a well.

Their strength ebbed away, they could not even go on their way.

Enlil afflicted the city with an evil famine.

He afflicted the city with that which destroys cities, that which destroys houses.

He afflicted the city with that which cannot be withstood with weapons.

He afflicted the city with dissatisfaction and treachery.

In Urim, which was like a solitary reed, there was not even fear.

Its people, like fish being grabbed in a pond, sought to escape.

Its young and old lay spread about, no one could rise.

303-317 At the royal station (?) there was no food on top of the platform (?).

The king who used to eat marvelous food grabbed at a mere ration.

As the day grew dark, the eye of the sun was eclipsing, the people experienced hunger.

There was no beer in the beer-hall, there was no more malt for it.

There was no food for him in his palace, it was unsuitable to live in.

Grain did not fill his lofty storehouse, he could not save his life.

housing-housing-tents-of-early-modern-man  (granaries of the alien gods)

The grain-piles and granaries of Nanna held no grain.

The evening meal in the great dining hall of the gods was defiled.

Wine and syrup ceased to flow in the great dining hall.

The butcher’s knife that used to slay oxen and sheep lay hungry in the grass.

Its mighty oven no longer cooked oxen and sheep, it no longer emitted the aroma of roasting meat.

The sounds of the bursaj building, the pure …… of Nanna, were stilled.

The house which used to bellow like a bull was silenced.

Its holy deliveries were no longer fulfilled, its …… were alienated.

The mortar, pestle and grinding stone lay idle; no one bent down over them.

318-327 The Shining Quay of Nanna was silted up.

The sound of water against the boat’s prow ceased, there was no rejoicing.

4l-utu-inanna-nannar  (Utu, twin sister Inanna, father Nannar, & son Papsukal damaged)

Dust piled up in the unuribanda of Nanna (Nannar)

The rushes grew, the rushes grew, the mourning reeds grew.

Boats and barges ceased docking at the Shining Quay.

Nothing moved on your watercourse which was fit for barges.

The plans of the festivals at the place of the divine rituals were altered.

The boat with first-fruit offerings of the father who begot Nanna no longer brought first-fruit offerings.

Its food offerings could not be taken to Enlil in Nibru.

Its watercourse was empty, barges could not travel.

328-339 There were no paths on either of its banks, long grass grew there.

The reed fence of the well-stocked cattle-pen of Nanna was split open.

The reed huts were overrun, their walls were breached.

The cows and their young were captured and carried off to enemy territory.

The munzer-fed cows took an unfamiliar path in an open country that they did not know.

Gayau, who loves cows, dropped his weapon in the dung.

Cuni-dug, who stores butter and cheese, did not store butter and cheese.

Those who are unfamiliar with butter were churning the butter.

Those who are unfamiliar with milk were curdling (?) the milk.

The sound of the churning vat did not resound in the cattle-pen.

Like mighty fire that once burnt, its smoke is extinguished.

“O father who begot me, why have you turned away from my city which was built (?) for you?

O Enlil, why have you turned away from my Urim which was built (?) for you?

The boat with first-fruit offerings no longer brings first-fruit offerings to the father who begot him.

Your food offerings can no longer be brought to Enlil in Nibru (Nippur, named after their planet Nibiru).

The en priests of the countryside and city have been carried off by phantoms.

Urim, like a city raked by a hoe, is to be counted as a ruin-mound.

2c - Nippur (mud-brick-built Ki-ur in Nippur)

The Ki-ur, Enlil‘s resting-place, has become a haunted shrine.

O Enlil, gaze upon your city, an empty wasteland.

Gaze upon your city Nibru, an empty wasteland.

5 - Nannar and father, Enlil  (Nannar & son Utu, Nannar’s Moon Crescent symbol, & Inanna’s 8-Pointed Star symbol)

360-370 Enlil then answered his son Suen:

“There is lamentation in the haunted city, reeds of mourning grow there.

(1 ms. adds the line: In its midst there is lamentation, reeds of mourning grow there.)

In its midst the people pass their days in sighing.

(1 ms. adds the line: My son, the noble son ……, why do you concern yourself with crying?)

Oh Nanna, the noble son ……, why do you concern yourself with crying?

The judgment uttered by the assembly cannot be reversed.

3b - Anu of planet Nibiru 1ae - Enlil, Babylonian (Anu, King of all Anunnaki on planet Nibiru & on Earth, his son & heir Enlil)

The word of An and Enlil knows no overturning.

Urim was indeed given kingship but it was not given an eternal reign.

From time immemorial, since the Land was founded, until people multiplied,

who has ever seen a reign of kingship that would take precedence for ever?

The reign of its kingship had been long indeed but had to exhaust itself.

O my Nanna, do not exert yourself in vain, abandon your city.”

371-377 Then my king, the noble son, became distraught.

Laments sounded all along its city wall.

Daily there was slaughter before it.

Large axes were sharpened in front of Urim.

The spears, the arms of battle, were prepared.

The large bows, javelin and shield gathered together to strike.

The barbed arrows covered its outer side like a raining cloud.

Large stones, one after another, fell with great thuds.

(1 ms. adds the line: Daily the evil wind returned in the city.)

Urim, confident in its own strength, stood ready for the murderers.

Its people, oppressed by the enemy, could not withstand their weapons.

389-402 In the city, those who had not been felled by weapons succumbed to hunger.

Hunger filled the city like water, it would not cease.

This hunger contorted people’s faces, twisted their muscles.

Its people were as if drowning in a pond, they gasped for breath.

Its king breathed heavily in his palace, all alone.

Its people dropped their weapons, their weapons hit the ground.

They struck their necks with their hands and cried.

They sought counsel with each other, they searched for clarification:

“Alas, what can we say about it? What more can we add to it?

How long until we are finished off by this catastrophe?

Inside Urim there is death, outside it there is death.

Inside it we are to be finished off by famine.

Outside it we are to be finished off by Elamite weapons.

In Urim the enemy oppresses us, oh, we are finished.”

403-410 The people took refuge (?) behind the city walls.

They were united in fear.

The palace that was destroyed by onrushing water was defiled, its doorbolts were torn out.

Elam, like a swelling flood wave, left (?) only the ghosts.

In Urim people were smashed as if they were clay pots.

Its refugees were unable to flee, they were trapped inside the walls.

Its throne was cast down before it, she threw herself down into the dust.

411-419 Its mighty cows with shining horns were captured, their horns were cut off.

Its unblemished oxen and grass-fed sheep were slaughtered.

(1 ms. adds the line: They were cut down as date palms and were tied together.)

The palm-trees, strong as mighty copper, the heroic strength,

were torn out like rushes, were plucked like rushes, their trunks were turned sideways.

Their tops lay in the dust, there was no one to raise them.

The midriffs of their palm fronds were cut off and their tops were burnt off.

Their date spadices that used to fall (?) on the well were torn out.

The fertile reeds, which grew in the sacred ……, were defiled.

The great tribute that they had collected was hauled off to the mountains.

420-434 The house’s great door ornament fell down, its parapet was destroyed.

The wild animals that were intertwined on its left and right lay before it like heroes smitten by heroes.

Its gaping-mouthed dragons and its awe-inspiring lions were pulled down

with ropes like captured wild bulls and carried off to enemy territory.

The fragrance of the sacred seat of Nanna, formerly like a fragrant cedar grove, was destroyed.

The glory of the house, whose glory was once so lovely, was extinguished.

Like a storm that fills all the lands, it was built there like twilight in the heavens;

its doors adorned with the heavenly stars, its …….

Great bronze latches …… were torn out.

Its hinges …….

Its mighty tigi …… did not perform its sacred song.

Verdicts were not given at the Dubla-mah, the place where oaths used to be taken.

The throne was not set up at its place of judgment, justice was not administered.

Alamuc threw down his scepter, his hands trembling.

In the sacred bedchamber of Nanna musicians no longer played the balaj drum.

The sacred box that no one had set eyes upon was seen by the enemy.

The divine bed was not set up, it was not spread with clean hay.

The statues that were in the treasury were cut down.

The cook, the dream interpreter, and the seal keeper did not perform the ceremonies properly.

They stood by submissively and were carried off by the foreigners.

The holy usga priests of the sacred lustrations, the linen-clad priests,

forsook the divine plans and sacred divine powers, they went off to a foreign city.

5p - Nannar & his moon symbol

449-459 In his grief Suen approached his father.

He went down on his knee in front of Enlil, the father who begot him:

“O father who begot me, how long will the enemy eye be cast upon my account, how long ……?

The lordship and the kingship that you bestowed ……, father Enlil, the one who advises with just words,

460-474 Enlil then provided a favorable response to his son Suen:

“My son, the city built for you in joy and prosperity was given to you as your reign.

The destroyed city, the great wall, the walls with broken battlements: all this too is part of that reign.

…… the black, black days of the reign that has been your lot.

As for dwelling in your home, the E-temen-ni-guru (ziggurat), that was properly built —

indeed Urim shall be rebuilt in splendor, the people shall bow down to you.

There is to be bounty at its base, there is to be grain.

There is to be splendor at its top, the sun shall rejoice there.

Let an abundance of grain embrace its table.

May Urim, the city whose fate was pronounced by An, be restored for you.”

Having pronounced his blessing, Enlil raised his head toward the heavens:

“May the land, south and highland, be organized for Nanna.

May the roads of the mountains be set in order for Suen.

Like a cloud hugging the earth, they shall submit to him.

By order of An and Enlil it shall be conferred.”

475-477 A Father Nanna stood in his city of Urim with head raised high again.

The youth Suen could enter again into the E-kic-nu-jal.

4bb - Ningal - spouse of Nannar, Ningikuga's daughter (brown-eyed Ningal, Nannar‘s spouse, Enlil‘s sister-in-law & daughter-in-law)

(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)

       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.

       Abzu, life of the Land, beloved of Enki!

        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:

       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.

         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).

       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,

       a house which tunes the seven tigi drums properly, and provides incantations;

       where holy songs make all of the house a lovely place — the shrine of the Abzu, the good destiny of Enki,

       befitting the elaborate divine powers (alien technologies); the temple of Eridug, built with silver:

       3a - Enki & Aquarius constellation
