5b - Ninhursag, Enlil, & Inanna  James Charles Kaelin, Jr. Webmaster & Digitizer EarthStation1 http://earthstation1.simplenet.com wandarer@earthlink.net

  (Ninhursag              Enlil                    Inanna)                            (Enlil          Inanna, Utu                Enki          Isumud)

1-8 Enlil, the eminent one, the sovereign lord, whose utterance is trustworthy;

3ac - Nippur ground level  (Enlil‘s mud-brick-built great mountain, temple residence, the E-kur in Nippur)

Nunamnir (Enlil), the eternal shepherd of the Land, who hails from the great mountain (E-kur);

the great counselor, the first and foremost in heaven and on earth,

who is in control of all the divine powers (far advanced alien technologies);

lord, who is imbued with great fearsomeness in accordance with his nobility,

a perfected heavenly star, who takes good care of the primeval and choice divine powers,

who alone is the lofty god; lord, life-giving light,

who leads the people all over the world along one track;

(Enlil set their inter-planetary communications grid / “net” in space & in their cities on Earth)

huge net spread over heaven and earth, rope stretched over all the lands!

   (Enlil, King Anu‘s son & heir)

Who ever instructed Enlil, who ever rivaled him?

 

9-14 He thought up something of great importance and he made public what his heart,

a mighty river, carried: the hidden secrets (?) of his holy thought.

The matter is a holy and pure one, it concerns the divine powers of the E-kur (Enlil‘s Command Post),

the fated good brick embedded (?) in the bottom of the abzu, it is something most important:

            Imprint of a cylindrical seal showing a ziggurat and a priest or god. From Babylon. (alien giants build their mud-brick ziggurat homes)

a trustworthy man will rebuild the E-kur, thereby acquiring a lasting name.

The son of this trustworthy man will long hold the scepter,

and their throne will never be overthrown.

 

2c - Nannar & his symbol   3aa - Nanna & his symbol

(Nannar;   Enlil‘s & Ninlil‘s 1st son together, giant Anunnaki patron god of Ur, symbolized by the Moon Crescent, as is still today)

15-20 To that end, Acimbabbar (Nannar / Sin) appeared shining in the E-kur,

pleaded to his father Enlil and made him bring a childbearing mother (?);

2a - Nannar statue 2,000 B.C. (Nannar, god of Ur, home of Biblical Abraham & his father Terah, once the high-priest of Nannar)

in the E-duga, Nanna (Nannar), the princely son, asked for the thing to happen.

3h - Shulgi honored as High-Priest of uncle Nannar  (mixed-breed son to goddess Ninsun appointed as Nannar‘s high-priest & also king)

The en priestess gave birth to the trustworthy man from his semen placed in the womb.

Enlil, the powerful shepherd, caused a young man to emerge:

3j - mixed-breed King Shulgi statue  (statue ruins of King Shulgi, mixed-breed giant appointed Nannar‘s high-priest & king of Ur)

a royal (mixed-breed) child, one who is perfectly fitted for the throne-dais, Culgi (Shulgi) the king.

 

21-27 Enlil gave him a good name: “A lion’s seed,

who provides the E-kur generously, the beloved one of Ninlil;

2e - Enlil's home in Nippur 3a - Enlil's Ekur-House in Nippur

     (Enlil‘s mud-brick-built E-kur / great mountain / ziggurat / temple / residence; Earth Colony alien Command Central)

the one granted authority in the E-kur; the king of Urim (Ur),

the one with shining heart, the shepherd, the protective genius of the Land.”

Enlil chose Culgi in his pure heart and entrusted the Land to him.

As the shepherd of all the countries, Enlil leant the crook and the staff against his arm,

3l - King Shulgi of Ur, Zu, & Ninurta
(giant mixed-breed Shulgi, Ninurta as storm bird, & Enlil standing upon his ziggurat residence in Nippur)

and placed the immutable scepter of Nanna (Nannar) in his hand;

he made him raise his head high, sitting on an unshakable royal seat.

 

28-30 The day was for prayers, the night was for supplications; the Land rested in peace.

The shepherd of prosperity, Culgi, he with a lasting name, the king of jubilation,

the mighty one, the semen engendered by the faithful man (Lugalbanda), praised Enlil.

 

31-31 This is the sagida.

 

3eb - Lama, Inanna & spouse King Shulgi before father Nannar

(mother Ninsun, her grandson Shulgi, his spouse Inanna, her father & Ninsun‘s uncle Nannar, patron giant Anunnaki god of Ur)

32-33 Culgi, the mighty king (Biblical “mighty man”), ……, who exults in his triumph,

The upper od the plate has merlons like contemporary fortress walls. Bronze, H: 13,8 cm AO 280861c - war dressed Ishtar atop lion - Leo

               (Inanna with alien high-tech weaponry, her 8-pointed star of Venus, & standing atop her zodiac symbol of Leo)

the …… king vanquished the rebellious land with the agakar weapon (alien technologies) of Inana.

 

34-34 It is the antiphon of the sagida.

 

2a - Enlil, Anu's son & heir   1ae - Enlil, Babylonian

     (giant alien god Enlil, the Anunnaki King Anu‘s son & heir, appointed as Earth Colony’s Commander;    Enlil)

35-43 May Enlil the trustworthy, whose words are lofty — good fate determined by him takes precedence —

  (our solar system including their planet Nibiru, the 12th star when including the Sun)

7d - Earthlings Learn to Farm  7f - sumer farming, plowing (top: Enlil hands plow to son Ninurta to teach earthlings farming;   the hard labor workloads are passed onto their new worker-race of earthlings)

who makes sturdy flax and barley grow — may he prolong the life of Culgi, the provider of the E-kur

hence its flax is indeed fine flax, its barley is indeed fine barley — the property of Nanna,

3g - Lama, Shulgi, spouse Inanna, & uncle Nannar

   (goddess mother Ninsun, grandson Shulgi; Inanna, her father Nannar the Moon god, patron & royal Anunnaki god of Ur)

the house-born slave of the E-kur, him whom Ninlil named at his birth Culgi,

the shepherd of the Land, the man whom Enlil knows, the steward (high-priest) of the temple.

 

44-48 So that its voluminous offering meals would bring joy to the E-kur,

3b - Nannar's Temple in Ur, Terah was the high-priest  (Nannar‘s mud-brick-built mountain / residence, city of Ur way below)

Enlil called upon Urim (Ur), the good city founded by the princely one,

the inside of which is a holy treasure chest which, like the abzu, no eye can see —

the city of good purification rites and pure hand-washing rites; and what he says is trustworthy.

 

49-53 For his setting up the abundant sacrificial tin cups,

Feasting - banquet scene in Nippur

for his having served evening meals in the dining-hall of the E-kur,

Enlil determined a princely fate for the shepherd,

him who is worthy of the kingship and the lofty throne-dais,

3 - King Shulgi, Ninsun's son (Shulgi, Ninsun‘s mixed-breed son appointed high-priest & king of Nannar‘s Ur & Enlil‘s Sumer)

Culgi, who is adorned with the ma garment of the en priests.

 

54-59 The one beautiful like heaven, ……,

Nanna, the king, the ……, gave him good …… in the Ki-ur, the great place (of Ninlil).

(Sky Lord Anu & Lord Air Enlil in their sky-discs)

At the command (?) of Enlil, he ……, he roars for him (?)

against the foreign land that no one dares to oppose.

He stabilizes the countryside, and the people lie at his feet.

 

60-62 Culgi (giant mixed-breed spouse to Inanna), the shepherd is the honey man beloved by Nibru;

may the true shepherd, Culgi, refresh himself in the pleasant shade of Enlil‘s brickwork!

 

63-63 It is the sajara.

 

64-64 O Culgi, Enlil has brought forth happy days for you in your reign!

 

65-65 It is the antiphon of the sajara.

 

5 - Anu above, Enlil, & Enki

    (Apkulla / pilot   Enki   Anu in his sky-disc     Enlil   Apkulla / pilot; Tree of Life with the 3 main Anunnaki giant alien gods)

66-68 Heaven’s king, earth’s great mountain, father Enlil, heaven’s king, earth’s great mountain,

thought up something great: he chose Culgi in his heart for a good reign!

 

69-69 It is its urune.

               (E-kur / residence of Enlil)
