        but not to soothe the mood of those who do not revere her in their well-built houses;

        to turn a man into a woman and a woman into a man, to change one into the other,

        to make young women dress as men on their right side, to make young men dress as women on their left side,

        to put spindles into the hands of men ……, and to give weapons to the women;

        to see that women amuse themselves by using children’s language,

        to see that children amuse themselves by using womens language, to …… skill, to …….

        They built a palace, her house of ladyship, for the mistress of An (Anu), and invested it with fearsome radiance.

        They made it into the neck-stock of all the foreign countries, and imbued it with awe-inspiring, terrifying splendor.

        4 - Inanna. Utu, & Earthling underfoot

                  (Inanna & twin brother Utu with much smaller helpless earthling underfoot)

        32-35 To clamp down (?) on the black-headed people, to ……, to decide justly the lawsuits of the numerous people,

        to select the just, ……, to …… who speaks (?) violently — all these were entrusted into Inana‘s hands by them.

        36-42 Enlil and Ninlil gave her (King) Icme-Dagan, the constant attendant, …… as her husband …….

        The duty to build temples for the gods, to furnish their daily portions,

        to purify their raised temples and to sanctify their daises, to secure their daily liquor,

        syrup and choice beer in their dining hall — all this was bestowed on Inana and Icme-Dagan by Enlil and Ninlil.

        1o - Astarte - Inanna, lover of many kings (Inanna, Goddess of Love, espoused many semi-divine kings for thousands of years)

          43-45 August Nibru, no god excels like your lord and lady!

        In your midst they have bestowed the divine powers on the young woman Inana.

        I, Icme-Dagan, have put this (i.e., this composition) in everyone’s mouth for all time.

The Cursing of Agade (Akkad)

The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature

 

3b - Agade-Akkad, Sargon's Empire Agade / Akkad, ancient land of alien giants)

 

(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…)

(Enki’s creation = Enkidu, Enlil’s creation Hawawa)

         

             (Bull of Heaven killed)

After Enlil‘s frown had slain Kic (Kish) as if it were the Bull of Heaven,

had slaughtered the house of the land of Unug (Uruk) in the dust as if it were a mighty bull,

and then Enlil had given the ruler ship and kingship from the south as far as the highlands to Sargon, king of Agade

           2 - Inanna(Inanna with alien technologies, goddess-spouse to mixed-breed made king, Sargon)

         at that time, holy Inanna established the sanctuary of Agade

as her celebrated woman’s domain; she set up her throne in Ulmac.

 

 2 - seated Inanna  (Inanna seated upon her throne)

Like a young man building a house for the first time, like a girl establishing a woman’s domain,

holy Inanna did not sleep as she ensured that the warehouses would be provisioned;

that dwellings would be founded in the city; that its people would eat splendid food;

 

that its people would drink splendid beverages; that those bathed for holidays would rejoice in the courtyards;

that the people would throng the places of celebration; that acquaintances would dine together;

         that foreigners would cruise about like unusual birds in the sky;

         that even Marhaci would be re-entered on the tribute rolls;

that monkeys, mighty elephants, water buffalo, exotic animals, as well as thoroughbred dogs, lions,

mountain ibexes (some mss. have instead: mountain beasts (?)) (some mss. have instead: horses),

and alum sheep with long wool would jostle each other in the public squares.

 

She then filled Agade‘s stores for emmer wheat with gold, she filled its stores for white emmer wheat with silver;

she delivered copper, tin, and blocks of lapis lazuli to its granaries and sealed its silos from outside.

She endowed its old women with the gift of giving counsel, she endowed its old men with the gift of eloquence.

She endowed its young women with the gift of entertaining,

she endowed its young men with martial might, she endowed its little ones with joy.

 

The nursemaids who cared for (some mss. have instead: of) the general’s children played the aljarsur instruments.

              (music begins in Sumer)

Inside the city tigi drums sounded; outside it, flutes and zamzam instruments.

Its harbor where ships moored was full of joy.

All foreign lands rested contentedly, and their people experienced happiness.

 

6d - Naram-Sin-King-of-Akkad (Narram-Suen, giant mixed-breed made king, grandson to Sargon the Great)

Its king, the shepherd (King) Naram- Suen, rose as the daylight on the holy throne of Agade.

6cc - Sargon's grandson Naram-Sin Victory Stela

(giant mixed-breed King Narram-Sin with alien technologies – landed shem / command module of an alien sky-ship)

Its city wall , like a mountain, (1 ms. has instead: , a great mountain,) reached the heavens.

         It was like the Tigris going to (some mss. have instead: flowing into) the sea 

            1y - Nippur, Enlil's City in the 1st Region (1st cities on Earth, giant alien gods established in ancient Sumer)

         as holy Inanna opened the portals of its city-gates and made Sumer bring its own possessions upstream by boats.

 

             (Martu & the Martu uncivilized earthlings) (far less advanced people living in mountains, “ape-like primitives”, named & controlled by Anu‘s son Martu)

The highland Martu people ignorant of agriculture, brought spirited cattle and kids for her.

The Meluhans, the people of the black land, brought exotic wares

(some mss. have instead: wares of foreign countries) up to her.

Elam and Subir loaded themselves with goods for her as if they were packasses.

All the governors, the temple administrators (1 ms. has instead: generals),

and the accountants of the Gu-edina regularly supplied the monthly and New Year offerings.

What a weariness all these caused at Agade‘s city gates!

 

Holy Inanna could hardly receive all these offerings.

As if she were a citizen there, she could not restrain (?) the desire (?) to prepare the ground for a temple.

But the statement coming from the E-kur (Enlil‘s ziggurat temple / residence in Nippur) was disquieting.

 

Because of Enlil (?) all Agade was reduced (?) to trembling, and terror befell Inanna in Ulmac.

She left the city, returning to her home.

Holy Inanna abandoned the sanctuary of Agade like someone abandoning the young women of her woman’s domain.

 

1c - war dressed Ishtar atop lion - Leo  (Inanna, Goddess of War with high-tech alien weaponry used against non-loyal earthlings)

Like a warrior hurrying to arms, she removed (some mss. have instead: tore away) the gift of battle

and fight from the city and handed them over to the enemy.

 (Ninurta seated, Enlil‘s heir & warrior son)

Not even five or ten days had passed and Ninurta brought the jewels of ruler ship,

the royal crown, the emblem and the royal throne bestowed on Agade, back into his E-cumeca.

 

2c - Utu - Shamash, Commander of the Space Port (Utu, grandson to Enlil, son to Nannar, twin to Inanna)

Utu took away the eloquence of the city. Enki took away its wisdom.

 (Anu, King & god the father in Heaven, his sons established Earth Colony)

An took up (some mss. have instead: out) (1 ms. has instead: away)

into the midst of heaven its fearsomeness that reaches heaven.

2c - Iananna, Goddess of Love & War (Inanna, twin to Utu, Goddess of Love & War)

Enki tore out its well-anchored holy mooring pole from the abzu.

Inanna took away its weapons.

The life of Agade‘s sanctuary was brought to an end

as if it had been only the life of a tiny carp in the deep waters, and all the cities were watching it.

 

Like a mighty elephant, it bent its neck to the ground while they all raised their horns like mighty bulls.

Like a dying dragon, it dragged its head on the earth and they jointly deprived it of honor as in a battle.

6b - Naram-Sin, by Sin Loved, King of Akkad  (giant mixed-breed King of Akkad, Narram-Suen, descendant offspring of the gods)

(King) Naram- Suen saw in a nocturnal vision

that Enlil would not let the kingdom of Agade-occupy a pleasant, lasting residence,

that he would make its future altogether unfavorable,

that he would make its temples shake and would scatter its treasures (1 ms. has instead: destroy its treasuries).

 

He realized what the dream was about, but did not put into words, and did not discuss it with anyone.

(1 ms. adds 2 lines: …… temples shake ……, …… perform (?) extispicy regarding (?) his temple …….)

3a - Enlil's Ekur-House in Nippur

(E-kur, mud brick-built mountain / residence of Enlil & Ninlil in his patron city of Nippur)

Because of the E-kur, he put on mourning clothes,

covered his chariot with a reed mat (1 ms. has instead: pulled out the outside pin of his chariot),

tore the reed canopy off his ceremonial barge (1 ms. has instead: the prow of his ceremonial barge)

(1 ms. has instead: the cabin of his ceremonial barge), and gave away his royal paraphernalia.

 

(King) Naram- Suen persisted for seven years!

Who has ever seen a king burying his head in his hands for seven years?

(some mss. add the line: He realized what the dream was about,

but did not put it into words, and did not discuss it with anyone.)

Then he went to perform extispicy on a kid regarding the temple,

but the omen had nothing to say about the building of the temple.

 

For a second time he went to perform extispicy on a kid regarding the temple,

but the omen again had nothing to say about the building of the temple.

In order to change what had been inflicted (?) upon him, he tried to alter Enlil‘s pronouncement

Because his subjects were dispersed, he now began a mobilization of his troops.

 

Sports - Sumerian wrestling, 3000 + B.C.  (gods wrestling; earthlings wrestling, 3,000 B.C.)

Like a wrestler who is about to enter the great courtyard, he …… his hands towards (?) the E-kur.

Like an athlete bent to start a contest, he treated the giguna as if it were worth only thirty shekels.

Like a robber plundering the city, he set tall ladders against the temple.

To demolish E-kur as if it were a huge ship, to break up its soil

like the soil of mountains where precious metals are mined,

to splinter it like the lapis lazuli mountain, to prostrate it, like a city inundated by Ickur (Ishkur / Adad).

 

Though the (mud brick-built) temple was not a mountain where cedars are felled,

he had large axes cast, he had double-edged agasilig axes sharpened to be used against it.

He set spades against its roots and it sank as low as the foundation of the Land.

He put axes against its top, and the temple, like a dead soldier, bowed its neck before him,

         and all the foreign lands bowed their necks before him.

He ripped out its drain pipes, and all the rain went back to the heavens .

He tore off its upper lintel and the Land was deprived of its ornament

(1 ms. has instead: the ornament of the Land disappeared).

 

From its “Gate from which grain is never diverted”, he diverted grain, and the Land was deprived of grain.

He struck the “Gate of Well-Being” with the pickaxe, and well-being was subverted in all the foreign lands.

As if they were for great tracts of land with wide carp-filled waters,

2e - Enlil's home in Nippur

           (E-kur, Enlil‘s temple / residence, image re-creation of Enlil‘s Earth Colony Command Center)

he cast large spades (1 ms. has instead: axes) to be used against the E-kur.

 

The people could see the bedchamber, its room which knows no daylight.

The Akkadians could look into the holy treasure chest of the gods.

Though they had committed no sacrilege,

its Lahamu deities of the great pilasters standing at the temple were thrown into the fire by Naram- Suen.

The cedar, cypress, juniper and boxwood, the woods of its giguna, were …… by him.

He put its gold in containers and put its silver in leather bags.

He filled the docks with its copper, as if it were a huge transport of grain.

The silversmiths were re-shaping its silver, jewelers were re-shaping its precious stones, smiths were beating its copper.

 

5b - Enki's temple dock

Large ships were moored at the temple, large ships were moored at Enlil‘s temple

and its possessions were taken away from the city, though they were not the goods of a plundered city.

With the possessions being taken away from the city, good sense left Agade.

As the ships moved away from (some mss. have instead: juddered) the docks,

Agade‘s intelligence (1 ms. has instead: sanctuary) (alien technology) was removed.

 

  (Enlil, determined to maintain total control on Earth Colony)

Enlil, the roaring (?) storm that subjugates the entire land, the rising deluge that cannot be confronted,

was considering what should be destroyed in return for the wrecking of his beloved E-kur.

He lifted his gaze towards the Gubin mountains, and made all the inhabitants of the broad mountain ranges descend (?).

Enlil brought out of the mountains those who do not resemble other people (ape-like),

who are not reckoned as part of the Land, the Gutians (under Martu), an unbridled people,

with human intelligence but canine instincts (some mss. have instead: feelings) and monkeys’ features.

Like small birds they swooped on the ground in great flocks.

Because of Enlil, they stretched their arms out across the plain like a net for animals.

Nothing escaped their clutches, no one left their grasp.

 

Messengers no longer traveled the highways, the courier’s boat no longer passed along the rivers.

The Gutians drove the trusty (?) goats of Enlil out of their folds and compelled their herdsmen to follow them,

they drove the cows out of their pens and compelled their cowherds to follow them.

Prisoners manned the watch. Brigands occupied (1 ms. has instead: attacked) the highways.

The doors of the city gates of the Land lay dislodged in (1 ms. has instead: were covered with) mud,

and all the foreign lands uttered bitter cries from the walls of their cities.

 

They established gardens for themselves (1 ms. has instead: made gardens grow) within the cities,

and not as usual on the wide plain outside.

As if it had been before the time when cities were built and founded,

the large (some mss. add: fields and) arable tracts yielded no grain,

the inundated (some mss. add: fields and) tracts yielded no fish, the irrigated orchards yielded no syrup or wine,

the thick clouds (?) did not rain, the macgurum plant did not grow.

 

In those days, oil for one shekel was only half a liter,

grain for one shekel was only half a liter, wool for one shekel was only one mina,

fish for one shekel filled only one ban measure — these sold at such prices in the markets of the cities!

 

Those who lay down on the roof, died on the roof; those who lay down in the house were not buried.

People were flailing at themselves from hunger.

2c - Nippur (all mud brick-built by the giants)

By the Ki-ur, Enlil‘s great place, dogs were packed together in the silent streets;

if two men walked there they would be devoured by them,

and if three men walked there they would be devoured by them.

Noses were punched (?), heads were smashed (?), noses (?) were piled up, heads were sown like seeds.

Honest people were confounded with traitors, heroes lay dead on top of heroes,

the blood of traitors ran upon the blood of honest men.

 

At that time, Enlil rebuilt his great sanctuaries into small reed (?)

sanctuaries and from east to west he reduced their storehouses.

The old women who survived those days, the old men who survived those days

and the chief lamentation singer who survived those years set up seven balaj drums,

as if they stood at the horizon, and together with ub ,meze, and lilis

(some mss. have instead: cem, and lilis) (1 ms. has instead: and bronze cem)

1ae - Enlil, Babylonian (Enlil & his son Adad)  1b - Ishkur, Adad, Teshub 

drums made them resound to Enlil like Ickur (Ishkur / Adad) for seven days and seven nights.

 

The old women did not restrain the cry “Alas for my city!”.

The old men did not restrain the cry “Alas for its people!”.

The lamentation singer did not restrain the cry “Alas for the E-kur!”.

Its young women did not restrain from tearing their hair.

Its young men did not restrain from sharpening their knives.

Their laments were as if Enlil‘s ancestors were performing a lament

in the awe-inspiring Holy Mound by the holy knees of Enlil.

Because of this, Enlil entered his holy bedchamber and lay down fasting.



http://earthstation1.simplenet.com

                     (Enlil        Inanna  Utu                  Enki             Isumud)

At that time, Suen (Sin / Nannar), Enki, Inanna, Ninurta, Ickur, Utu, Nuska, and Nisaba, the great gods

(1 ms. has instead: all the gods whosoever), cooled (1 ms. has instead: sprinkled)

Enlil‘s heart with cool water and prayed to him:

Enlil, may the city that destroyed your city, be treated as your city has been treated!

May the one that defiled your giguna, be treated as Nibru (Nippur)!

In this city, may heads fill the wells!

May no one find his acquaintances there, may brother not recognize brother!

May its young woman be cruelly killed in her woman’s domain, may its old man cry in distress for his slain wife!

May its pigeons moan on their window ledges, may its small birds be smitten in their nooks,

may it live in constant anxiety like a timid pigeon!”

 

Again, Suen, Enki, Inanna, Ninurta, Ickur, Utu, Nuska and Nisaba, all the gods whosoever,

turned their attention to the city, and cursed Agade severely:

“City, you pounced on E-kur: it is as if you had pounced on Enlil!

Agade, you pounced on E-kur: it is as if you had pounced on Enlil!

May your holy walls, to their highest point, resound with mourning!

May your giguna be reduced to a pile of dust!

May your pilasters with the standing Lahamu (Mars) deities (Igigi)

fall to the ground like tall young men drunk on wine!

May your clay be returned to its abzu, may it be clay cursed by Enki!

May your grain be returned to its furrow, may it be grain cursed by Ezinu (Ninlil)!

May your timber be returned to its forest, may it be timber cursed by Ninilduma (gods master carpenter)!

5e - Enlil, Ninurta, & Apkulla, Babylonian (Ninurta, unidentified, & Apkulla, eagle-headed with wingspilots)

May the (1 ms. has instead: your) cattle slaughterer slaughter his wife,

may your (some mss. have instead: the) sheep butcher butcher his child!

May water wash away your pauper as he is looking for ……!

May your prostitute hang herself at the entrance to her brothel!

May your pregnant (?) hierodules and cult prostitutes abort (?) their children!

May your gold be bought for the price of silver, may your silver be bought for the price of pyrite (?),

and may your copper be bought for the price of lead!”

 

Agade, may your strong man be deprived of his strength,

so that he will be unable to lift his sack of provisions and ……,

and will not have the joy of controlling your superior asses; may he lie idle all day!

May this make the city die of hunger!

May your citizens, who used to eat fine food, lie hungry in the grass and herbs,

may your …… man eat the coating on his roof, may he chew (?) the leather hinges on the main door of his father’s house!

May depression descend upon your palace, built for joy (1 ms. has instead: joyous palace)!

May the evils of the desert, the silent place, howl continuously!”

“May foxes that frequent ruin mounds brush with their tails your fattening-pens (?), established for purification ceremonies!

May the ukuku, the bird of depression, make its nest in your gateways, established for the Land!

 

In your city that could not sleep because of the tigi drums, that could not rest from its joy,

2e - El & 2 lions housing-housing-tents-of-early-modern-man (Nannar protects his Cattle Pens in Ur)

may the bulls of Nanna (Nannar / Sin) that fill the pens bellow like those who wander in the desert, the silent place!

May the grass grow long on your canal-bank tow-paths,

may the grass of mourning grow on your highways laid for wagons!

Moreover, may …… wild rams (?) and alert snakes of the mountains

allow no one to pass on your tow-paths built up with canal sediment!

In your plains where fine grass grows, may the reed of lamentation grow!

 

Agade, may brackish water flow (1 ms. has instead:

May brackish water flow in the river), where fresh water flowed for you!

If someone decides, “I will dwell in this city!”, may he not enjoy the pleasures of a dwelling place!

If someone decides, “I will rest in Agade!”, may he not enjoy the pleasures of a resting place!”



2a - Utu, Shamash, twin to Inanna (Utu, son to Nannar, Commander of the Space Ports)

And before Utu (Shamash) on that very day, so it was!

On its canal bank tow-paths, the grass grew long.

On its highways laid for wagons, the grass of mourning grew.

Moreover, on its tow-paths built up with canal sediment,

…… wild rams (?) and alert snakes of the mountains allowed no one to pass.

On its plains, where fine grass grew, now the reeds of lamentation grew.

Agade‘s flowing fresh water flowed as brackish water.

 

When someone decided, “I will dwell in that city!”, he could not enjoy the pleasures of a dwelling place.

When someone decided, “I will rest in Agade!”, he could not enjoy the pleasures of a resting place

Etana and the Goddess (Re-telling) The Etana Myth Explained

One of the many sources for Etana: Dalley, Stephanie (1989)

Myths from Mesopotamia: Creation, the Flood, Gilgamesh and others.

Oxford, Oxford University Press.

The Evening Star (Venus / Inanna) appeared gloriously in the skies, and soon the navy velvet of the night was going to fall. It was then that Etana spotted in the horizon the last Gate of his Ascent Journey this time, the Gate of Ishtar. Heart pounding with anticipation, he braced himself for the eagle’s landing. In front of him, the elegant lapis lazuli walls carved with golden lions and rosettes were a sight to behold. In Babylon, the Gate of the Gods,

6c - Babylon, Gates of Ishtar, Inanna  (private entrance Gate of Ishtar / Inanna into Babylon, Marduk‘s patron city)

it was the Gate of Ishtar that led the processional way to the holy precinct of the Great Gods. So it was in the Everlasting Babylon of the Soul.

(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…)

            3b - Etana, king of Kish, flies to Nibiru

            (Etana carried in flight to heaven / planet Nibiru, by eagles / alien pilots)

I thank you for the ride, my friend’, he said to the eagle (pilot)

         patting the neck of his feathered friend as he got off his back.

         ‘I have an important request: would you be so kind to wait for me here?

I feel I need to go through these gates on my own.’

‘Even if I wanted, friend and king, my entrance would be barred… ‘,

whispered the eagle, and if Etana were not so anxious to proceed,

he would most certainly have stopped to ask what his friend meant by that cryptic statement.

3e - Kish King Etana ascends to Heaven (Kish tale of King Etana lifting off Earth by eagle for planet Nibiru)

The king of Kish took a deep breath to center himself and stepped through the Gate,

and the familiar clouds involved him to lead him to the Inner Realms.

He allowed himself a couple of minutes to adjust and then proceeded forwards.

Soon the clouds dissipated and he saw himself in a large well-lit room

whose glassed windows (5,000 years ago!) let in the magic of sunset hour, the rainbow colors of the changing skies.

The room was long, a hall fit for kings, and upon a dais he saw Her (Inanna).

His heart knew who She was, and so he proceeded.

5g - Inanna & Enlil, Anu's heir, Earth's commander (Inanna & grandfather Lord Air Enlil; Commander Enlil, King Anu, & Enki above in alien sky-disc)

How long had it been since She, the Great Goddess of Love and War (Inanna),

and Enlil, Lord Air and the most important of the younger generation of the Anunnaki gods,

had come to earth, in search of a king to rule the land?

He, Etana, had been their choice.

Now, after all these years, Etana wondered whether

They had made the right choice.

And this realization was killing him deep inside.

No matter what, he proceeded to kneel and bow to the ground respectfully in front of Her.

2b - offering to Inanna, & towers (fair-haired Inanna served by early “modern man”, fashioned from their image & likeness)

His eyes dared to face Her (Inanna) adoringly.

             (highlighted long hair of Inanna, desired by all, gods & mixed-breeds)

Youthful, tall, long dark hair that showed glints of gold in the sunset hour,

She wore a fringed dress of a soft color and fabric he would not be able to name.

              (Inanna, Goddess of Love & War)

The garment was a bit lower than knee length, golden leather sandals and a crown of flowers was upon her forehead.

As long ago, She had come to him as the Divine Huntress, the Warrior, the spirit of love and adventure.

3b - 2 unidentified goddesses, Inanna, & Ninshubur 7a9b2b473c3106a3b9a11709390f9694

 (giant alien Anunnaki goddesses stand before Inanna seated over her battle lions; lion under Inanna‘s dais, her zodiac sign Leo)

Lions slept under the dais of Her throne.

They looked like contented cats and not ferocious beasts.

He remembered Her so well, and She had not changed at all.

‘Lady of my Heart, Champion of my soul, I lend you graces’, he greeted, ignoring the lions and concentrating on Her.

‘It has been a long time, King of Kish‘, She replied.

He breathed hard.

‘Perhaps too long… now I know this for sure’.

            (giant goddesses Ninsun & Inanna with much smaller lions at her feet, & alien technology in hand)

She rose to her feet, the lions did not stir, and to his utter amazement,

She moved towards the large window on the Western Quarter and sat graciously on the window sill,

2j - Astarte in window 

         (Inanna in the window, original to later epics of the “woman in the window”, “woman in wait”, etc.)

Her back to the twilit skies.

She made space for him to take a seat by Her side, but he declined and sat on the floor.

Etana swallowed hard and started in one go, choosing carefully his words to address Her in the first place:

‘So much has happened so far, Great Lady, and I sincerely am not quite sure,

but somehow I feel I have reached a turning point which is recharging me and eventually will bring me success.

As if I were finally sort of discerning the light at the end of the tunnel, although it is just a hope.

It is associated with a turning of darkness back towards the direction of the light, the winter solstice,

the shortest day of the year, the day when darkness begins to decrease and the hours of daylight increase.

It is the beginning of a turn-around; a time of letting go of the old and making way for the new;

a time of new beginnings, and it starts with rest.’

2h - Ishtar, Inanna- sister to Ereshkigal  (young giant Inanna / Ishtar, Goddess of Love & War with lion, & king)

‘Nice rhetorics, but wouldn’t you like to go straight to the point?’, asked the Goddess, direct and frank as usual.

‘It has been a long and difficult journey for you since we last met.

And I can give you some clues for what has happened to you so far.

Would you like that?’

Etana sighed, but appreciated Her way of dealing with his awkwardness:

‘I need to clarify many, many things with you, my Lady.

Oh, I know well about being an initiate, your initiate.

It means the never-ending breaking out of old patterns, of everything that needs to be changed

so that a solid foundation can be established for living in all worlds.

This is exactly what happened to me so far… I just wish I had realized all this before!’

‘Can you elaborate more?’

‘Sure, I can.

I was meditating hard about what has happened to me so far since we first met,

           

                                              (semi-divine, Inanna, & Enlil, alien gods chose the 1st monarchs of their city-states, their offspring)

when you and lord Enlil chose me to be the first monarch of the land.

I came to some conclusions.

The trials of being a king and shepherd, the first ruler of the land.

No, better still, the trials of deserving my crown and as such becoming the (giant semi-divine mixed-breed)

living link between the people of the land and the gods,

You in special.

The difficulty of understanding and applying the discipline of power and empowerment,

to protect the weak and yet not to lose sight of the greedy and troublemakers

to attempt to get them back into the fold.

This was the meaning of the eagle and the snake, (Myth of Etana) wasn’t it?

A metaphor for me to understand the meaning of power and the exercise of justice

between irreconcilable oppositions within a nation that was being built?’

‘How so?’ She asked, her voice a quiet command.

Image result for us eagle with snake emblemsImage result for us eagle with snake emblems

                   (Mexican Coat of Arms;                        United States Great Seal, & on & on.)

‘The eagle and the snake can be seen as the warring factions of the land a monarch should keep close watch upon.

Difficult to unite, for they are different species,

although a truce can be established and maintained by the application of justice.

However, the greedy eagle is the one that poses the hardest trial for the king.

By betraying the snake and killing its offspring it needed more healing and more atonement.

And I meditated a great deal why I had to face all trials with the eagle, the traitor,

instead of lining up with the grieving snake.’

Tears started flowing copiously, but Etana continued relentlessly:

I was the snake myself, grieving for the offspring of my blood I so badly wanted to father.

The snake was the animal in me, raw energy and grief.

But I am also the king, responsible for peace, wealth, progress and health.

I could not leave the treacherous eagle to his devices,

I had to rescue him back, heal it and make it ascend with me to finally face you in the end.

Hit and crash approach this one of yours, isn’t it?’

Suddenly he also understood the eagle’s indecision to be accepted by the Goddess’ Gate.

The eagle might not be allowed to proceed through, because it had killed the offspring of his friend!

The goddess smiled: ‘But you never gave up and continued towards the ascent.

3 - Etana in flight  (Etana taken aloft by eagle / pilot heading for their planet Nibiru)

Even when you fell off the back of the eagle three times, somehow you kept going.

One unworthy flight after another?’

Her words hurt, but somehow he felt She was clearly teasing him now, and Etana relaxed a bit.

‘I had to.’

‘Why?’

‘Because You trusted me, and even if I had failed, it was my duty to come to you and say so. Personally.’

1d - Inanna in the nude 

            (Inanna, goddess-spouse to many semi-divine kings, & so dubbed the “Goddess of Love“)

He was about to tell Her how sorry he was for not having been able to give Her an heir of his blood,

when She seemed to change totally the subject.

‘A question for you, my king: what do you live for?’

Somehow he had expected that question all along, but not at this very moment.

The answer though came from the bottom of his mind, body, heart and soul.

‘To transcend. To learn and experience to make things be in all worlds,

even myself for as many times as it takes and REAL FAST with your help!

I live to deny all denials and to affirm all affirmations in a celebration of the sacredness of matter

so that my soul can fly unbound and free in all worlds I dare to fare.

And most of all, I live to experience the Underworld Descent of Existence in this Flesh as a Conscious Pursuit of Passion,

Joy and Magic to finally return in Wisdom and Love to the Source and Shaper of All’.

‘How far have you lived this truth in the last couple of years?’

Surprise and understanding gripped him hard.

How long had he grieved for a kingdom of the future,

while he had to rule the land in present time to the best of his ideas and ideals,

1b - Athirat-Inanna, Caananite goddess of love1c - Astarte, Hittite goddess of love (Inanna, espoused many mixed-breeds appointed to kingships, go-betweens for the gods & earthlings)

how much time he had lost trying to breed his offspring

when he had not been ready to understand what it was to be a real father?

Father of the land, empowerer of the spirit of this people came first, were his duties he had not been able to see.

‘I have another question for you, my king,’

Her voice sounded deep and soft, and in the distance he heard a bell striking.

‘What is my Name?’

His breath caught for a second.

She was asking and giving at the same time the Key to HerSelf, the key he had kept hidden for so long within his very Self.

1e - Ishtar, goddess of love (Ishtar / Inanna artifact, many times over Inanna with many names, was depicted nude as the Goddess of Love)

Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, many are your names.

But I know You as the Eternal Moment in Me, my Soul Counterpart, Lover and Beloved as One,

the True Vision of Triumphant Joy and Humanity that Overcomes Death and makes You the Greatest of all Goddesses.

You are the answer to all my whys, World Soul I reflect on my own’.

She was smiling now and then Her face changed to reveal the faces of every single person

and being he had loved in his life, past, present and perhaps to come.

The last transformation was totally unexpected, because he saw his own face transfigured by joy,

younger and older images of himself in the most special moments of his life past and perhaps to come.

Then She was Inanna again.

‘You are really so slow sometimes to understand the basics, Beloved King.

Tell me, Etana, all the way when you were trying so hard to reach me and not being able to, how did you feel like?’

Her laughter was like the power of dawn ensouling the land for a brand new day.

Again, he braced himself for what was coming next.

‘I felt like a Fool’.. he blurted.

             (semi-divine king, goddess spouse Inanna, & Enki; Inanna holds the hand of semi-divine her mixed-breed spouse-king)

She stretched Her hands to hold his: ‘And do you think you would have come to Me otherwise?”

In the shade of that shrine a poplar was growing [ ],

In its crown an eagle settled,

A serpent settled at its root.

Daily they watched the wind beasts.

The eagle made ready to speak, saying to the serpent,

“Let us swear an oath by the netherworld“.

Before Shamash the warrior they swore the oath,

“Whoever transgresses the limits of Shamash

” May Shamash deliver him as an offender into the hands of the executioner,

 2a - Utu, Shamash, twin to Inanna

5 - Hittite, rocketship or cruise missile 5b - Hittite relief of the gods rockets

” May the trap and curse of Shamash overthrow him and hunt him down!”

After they had sworn the oath by the netherworld,

They set forth, going up the high mountains,

Each day by turns watching for the wild beasts,

  (Ninurta battles unwanted beasts)

The eagle would hunt down wild oxen and gazelle (large prey for an eagle),

The serpent would eat, turn away, then his children would eat.

The eagle would hunt down wild sheep and aurochs,

The serpent would eat, turn away, then his children would eat.

The serpent would hunt down beasts of the field, the creatures of earth,

The eagle would eat, turn away, then his children would eat the food,

The eagle´s children grew big and flourished.

After the eagle´s children were grown big and were flourishing,

The eagle´s heart indeed plotted evil,

Evil his heart plotted indeed!

He set his thoughts upon eating his friend´s young!

The eagle made ready to speak, saying to its children:

” I will eat the serpent´s children, the serpent [ ],

                 (winged eagles – pilots in heaven)

” I will go up and dwell in heaven (home planet Nibiru),

” If I descend from the crown of the tree, … the king.”

The littlest fledgling, exceedingly wise, said these words to the eagle, his father:

” Do not eat, my father!

The net of Shamash will hunt you down,

The mesh and oat of Shamash will overthrow you and hunt you down.

Whoever transgresses the limits of Shamash,

He did not heed them, nor listen to his sons´ words,

He descended and ate up the serpents´ children,

In the evening of the same day,

The serpent came, bearing his burden,

At the entrance to his nest he cast down the meat,

He looked around, his nest was gone”

He looked down, his children were not [ ]!

The eagle had gouged the ground with his talon,

Before Shamash the warrior his tears ran down,

” I trusted in you, O warrior Shamash,

” I was the one who gave provisions to the eagle,

” Now my nest [ ]!

” My nest is gone, while his nest is safe,

” My young are destroyed, while his young are safe,

” He descended and ate up my children!

    (Ninurta vrs. Anzu, leader of Igigi trucker-astronauts based in the heavens)

” That malignant Anzu who harbored evil against his friends!”

When he had heard the serpent´s lament,

Shamash made ready to speak, and said to him:

” Go your way and cross the mountain,

” I have captured for you a wild ox.

” Open its insides, rend its belly,

” Set an ambush in its belly,

” Every kind of bird of heaven will come down to eat the meat.

” The eagle will come down with them to eat the meat,

” As he will not know the evil in store for him,

” He will search for the juiciest meat [ ], he will walk about outside,

” He will work his way into the covering of the intestines,

” When he comes inside, seize him by his wings,

             (Ninurta fires at Anzu the Anunnaki rebeller. & a winged sky-disc)

” Cut off his wings, his pinions and tail feathers,

” Pluck him and cast him into a bottomless pit,

” Let him die there of hunger and thirst”.

               (Utu, Space Port Commander for the alien Anunnaki gods)

As Shamash the warrior commanded,

The serpent went and crossed the mountain.

Then did the serpent reach the wild ox,

He opened its insides, he rent its belly.

He set an ambush in its belly.

Every kind of bird of heaven came down to eat the meat.

Did the eagle know of the evil in store for him?

He would not eat the meat with the other birds!

The eagle made ready to speak, saying to his children:

” Come, let us go down and we too eat the meat of the wild ox”.

The little fledgling, exceedingly wise, said these words to the eagle, his father:

” Do not go down, father, no doubt the serpent is lurking inside the wild ox”.

The eagle said to himself,

“Are the birds afraid? How is it they eat the meat in peace?”

He did not listen to them, he did not listen to his sons´ words,

He descended and perched on the wild ox.

The eagle looked at the meat, searching in front and behind it.

A second time he looked at the meat, searching in front and behind it,

He walked around outside, he worked his way into the covering of the intestines,

When he came inside, the serpent seized him by his wings,

” You intruded… you intruded…!

The eagle made ready to speak, saying to the serpent:

” Have mercy on me!

I will make you such a gift as a king´s ransom!”

The serpent made ready to speak, saying to the eagle:

” If I release you, how shall I answer to Shamash o high?

” Your punishment would turn upon me,

” Me, the one to lay punishment upon you!”

He plucked him and cast him into a pit.

That he should die there of hunger and thirst.

As for him, the eagle,…..[ ]

He kept on beseeching Shamash day after day:

” Am I to die in a pit?

” Who would know how your punishment was imposed upon me?

” Save my life, the eagle!

Let me cause your name to be heard for all time”.

            (Utu cuts launch & landing sites into mountains with his alien rock saw technologies)

Shamash made ready to speak and said to the eagle:

” You are wicked and have done a revolting deed,

” You committed an abomination of the gods, a forbidden act.

“Were you not under oath? I will not come near you,

“There, there! A man I will send you will help you”

” Dream interpreters have used up my incense,

” Gods have used up my lambs in slaughter.

” O Lord, give the command!

” Grant me the plant of birth!

” Reveal to me the plant of birth!

” Relieve me of my burden, grant me an heir!”

Shamash made ready to speak and said to Etana:

” Find a pit, look inside,

” An eagle is cast within it.

” He will reveal to you the plant of birth”.

Etana went his way.

He found the pit, he looked inside

The eagle was cast within it

There he was for him to bring up!

         TABLET III

The eagle looked at him….

He said [ ] to Etana,

“You are Etana (Kish King Etana ruled 1,500 years & ascended to Heaven), king of the wild beasts,

You are Etana, [ ] among (?) birds.

Bring me up from this pit

Give me [ ] your hand,

        He realized what the dream was about, but did not put into words, did not discuss it with anyone.

        After Sargon had received the regular deliveries for the palace,

        Ur-Zababa appointed him cupbearer, putting him in charge of the drinks cupboard.

         4 - Ninlil, Enlil's spouse  (Ninlil, beloved equal spouse to Enlil, Earth Colony Commander)

        12-24. It was then that the cupbearer of Ezina‘s (Ninlil) wine-house, Sargon, lay down not to sleep, but lay down to dream.

        In the dream, holy Inana drowned Ur-Zababa in a river of blood.

        The sleeping Sargon groaned and gnawed the ground.

        When King Ur-Zababa heard about this groaning, he was brought into the king’s holy presence,

        Sargon was brought into the presence of Ur-Zababa (who said:) “Cupbearer, was a dream revealed to you in the night?”

        Sargon answered his king: “My king, this is my dream, which I will tell you about:

        There was a young woman who was as high as the heavens and as broad as the earth.

        She was firmly set as the base of a wall.

        For me, she drowned you in a great river, a river of blood.”

        Now then, when the cupbearer has delivered my bronze hand-mirror (?) to you,

        in the E-sikil, the fated house, throw them (the mirror and Sargon) into the mold like statues.”

        35-45. Beliš-tikal heeded his king’s words and prepared the molds in the E-sikil, the fated house.

        The king spoke to Sargon: “Go and deliver my bronze hand-mirror (?) to the chief smith!”

        Sargon left the palace of Ur-Zababa.

        3aba - unknown mixed-breed, Inanna, & unidentified god

          (semi-divine mixed-breed king, elevated Inanna, & NInurta in his sky-chariot / winged storm bird)

        Holy Inana, however, did not cease to stand at his right hand side,

        and before he had come within five or 10 nindan of the E-sikil, the fated house,

        holy Inana turned around toward him and blocked his way, (saying:) “The E-sikil is a holy house!

        No one polluted with blood should enter it!”

        Thus he met the chief smith of the king only at the gate of the fated house.

        After he delivered the king’s bronze hand-mirror (?) to the chief smith,

        Beliš-tikal, the chief smith, …… and threw it into the mold like statues.

        46-52. After five or 10 days had passed, Sargon came into the presence of Ur-Zababa, his king;

        King Ur-Zababa …… and became frightened in his residence.

        He realized what was it about, but did not put into words, did not discuss it with anyone.

        Ur-Zababa became frightened in the bed-chamber, his holy residence.

        He realized what was it about, but did not put into words, did not discuss it with anyone.

        53-56. In those days, although writing words on tablets existed, putting tablets into envelopes did not yet exist.

        King Ur-Zababa dispatched Sargon, the creature (giant semi-divine son of a mixed-breed high-priestess) of the gods,

        to Lugal-zage-si (another giant mixed-breed appointed to kingship) in Unug (Uruk king 2345-2316 B.C.)
