(gods in blue …mixed-breed demigods in teal…)
(Ninhursag‘s creature creation = Enkidu, Enlil‘s creation = Hawawa)
1-4 So come on now, you heroic bearer of a scepter of wide-ranging power!
Noble glory of the gods, angry bull standing ready for a fight!
(Gilgamesh, 5th mixed-breed giant king of Uruk, 3,000 B.C.)
Young lord Gilgamec (King Gilgamesh), cherished in Unug (Uruk)!”
5-21 “In Unug people are dying, and souls are full of distress.
People are lost — that fills me with dismay.
I lean out over the city wall: bodies in the water make the river almost overflow.
That is what I see: that people die thus, which fills me with despair;
that the end of life is unavoidable; that the grave, the all-powerful underworld, will spare no one;
that no one is tall enough to block off the underworld;
that no one is broad enough to cover over the underworld –
the boundary that a man cannot cross at the final end of life.
(Ninsun, goddess mother to alien gods & many semi-divine mixed-breeds)
By the life of my own mother (giant alien goddess) Ninsun,
and of my father, holy Lugalbanda (mixed-breed spouse, ½ divine)!

I will bring …… there.”
(Enkidu, companion created for Gilgamesh)
22-28 His slave Enkidu (Ninhursag‘s & Enki‘s creation) answered him: “
…… if you want to set off into the mountains, Utu should know about it from you.
If you want to set off into the Mountains of Cedar-felling, Utu should know about it from you.
(Utu cuts launch & landing pads into the mountains)
A decision that concerns the mountains is Utu‘s business.
(Utu in charge of the mountain Space Port)
A decision that concerns the Mountains of Cedar-felling is the business of youthful Utu.”
(giant alien god Utu, son to Nannar & Ningal)
29-33 Utu of heaven put on his lapis-lazuli (aqua gem) diadem and came forward with head high.
In his hand Gilgamec, the lord of Kulaba, held a holy staff before his nose:
“Utu, I want to set off into the mountains!
May you be my helper!
I want to set off into the Mountains of Cedar-felling!
May you be my helper!”
“The first …….
The second …….
The third …….
The fourth …….
The fifth …….
The sixth beats at the flanks of the mountains like a battering flood.
The seventh flashes like lightning, and no one can deflect its power (alien technologies).
These shine in the heavens, but they know the routes on earth.
In heaven they shine ……, raising ……; on earth they know the way even to Aratta.
They know the passes as the merchants do.
They know the mountains crannies like the pigeons.
They will guide you through the mountain valleys.”
51-56 Gilgamec organized a levy in his city.
In …… Kulaba he had the horn sounded.
“Citizens! You who have a wife, go to your wife!
You who have children, go to your children!
Warriors, whether experienced or inexperienced, who have no wife, who have no children —
let such people join me at my side as the companions of Gilgamec.”
57-66 The king left the city. Gilgamec left Kulaba, to follow the route to the Mountains of Cedar-felling.
He crossed the first mountain range, but his intuition did not lead him to find the cedars there.
He crossed the second mountain range, but his intuition did not lead him to find the cedars there.
He crossed the third mountain range, but his intuition did not lead him to find the cedars there.
He crossed the fourth mountain range, but his intuition did not lead him to find the cedars there.
He crossed the fifth mountain range, but his intuition did not lead him to find the cedars there.
He crossed the sixth mountain range, but his intuition did not lead him to find the cedars there.
When he had crossed the seventh mountain range, there his intuition led him to find the cedars.
67-70 Gilgamec began to chop at the cedars.
(holy cedars of the gods)
His slave Enkidu worked on the branches for him.
His fellow-citizens who had come with him stacked them in piles.
71-77 Then, as one warrior got closer to the other,
(Huwawa, beast to keep earthlings away from Enlil‘s domain in Lebanon)
the aura of Huwawa (Enlil‘s creation, his cedar forest guard)…… sped towards them like a spear (?).
…… he rested there peacefully.
He was asleep (?) ……

Young lord Gilgamec (2/3rds divine), how long will you sleep for?
The mountains are becoming indistinct as the shadows fall across them; the evening …….”
(Gilgamesh, one of Ninsun‘s many semi-divine mixed-breed sons)
83-89 Gilgamec awoke from his dream, shuddering from his sleep.
He rubbed his eyes; there was eery silence everywhere.
“By the life of my own mother Ninsun (giant alien goddess)
and of my father, holy Lugalbanda (giant semi-divine)!
(Enki, eldest son of King Anu in Heaven / Nibiru, 1st who came down, & later had sex with daughters of men)

90-95 “I ……, he vexes (?) me — the warrior whose face is a lion’s grimace,
and whose breast is like a raging flood.
No one dare approach his brow, which devours the reed-beds.
On his tongue, like that of a man-eating lion, the blood never dries.
You do not have enough strength for the warrior, such is his might.
96-98 His slave Enkidu addressed him:

They …… many piles on the hillside.
(Huwawa, Enlil‘s mountain guard)
130-134 When Huwawa had finally handed over to him his seventh aura,
Gilgamec found himself beside Huwawa.
He punched him on the ear with his fist.
Huwawa furrowed his brows at him, baring his teeth at him.
Gilgamec threw a halter over him, as over a captured wild bull.
He tied him up by the elbows like a captured warrior.
135-136 The warrior began to weep, shedding tears.
Huwawa began to weep, shedding tears.
You have manhandled me; yet you had sworn an oath,
by the life of your own mother Ninsun and of your father, holy Lugalbanda.
(Enki, older 1/2 brother to Earth Colony Commander Enlil)
Your personal god Enki, lord Nudimmud (Enki)……!
And now you have thrown a halter over me as if over a captured wild bull,
and have tied me up by the elbows like a captured warrior!”
142-147 …… Gilgamec‘s noble heart took pity on him.
(Enkidu, creature-companion to King Gilgamesh)
He addressed his slave Enkidu: “Come on, let us set the warrior free!
He could be our guide!
He could be our guide who would spy out the pitfalls of the route for us!
He could be my ……!
He could carry all my things!

(giant mixed-breed Gilgamesh, beast, beast, & Enkidu)
148-162 His slave (companion) Enkidu replied to him (1 ms. has instead: …… replied to Gilgamec):
“…… so lacking in understanding!
…… with no ……!
…… with not ……!
A captured warrior set free!
A captured high priestess returned to the jipar!
A captured gudu priest restored to his wig of hair!
Who has ever, ever seen such a thing?
He would be able to …… the mountain routes.
He would be able to mix up the mountain paths.
Then we would never get back to the mother-city that bore us!

163-166 Huwawa replied to him: “The mother who bore me was a cave in the mountains.
The father who engendered me was a cave in the hills.
Utu left me to live all alone in the mountains!”
