…there is the messenger who brings the news of imprisonment to Marduk’s son Nabu…Nabu hastens to The Mountain in his chariot. He arrives at a structure

         “that is the house on the edge of The Mountain wherein they questioned him …”

They are told that the agitated god is

         “Nabu who from Borsippa comes.

         It is he who comes to seek

         after the warfare of his father, who is imprisoned …”

 

Nabu…

         “comes back from Borsippa;

         he comes and stands over the evildoer and regards him …”

         “The one whose sin it was …”

is carried away in a coffin. The murderer of Dumuzi has paid with his life.

(Marduk is later freed & alive.)

It was a place, we suggest, which the Bible called Kadesh-Barnea, and there Abraham stood with his elite troops, blocking the invaders’ advance to the Spaceport proper…it was intended to prevent the return of Marduk and thwart the efforts of Nabu to gain access to the Spaceport.

…Marduk’s desire to make Babylon “the heavenward naval in the four regions.” It was to thwart this that the gods opposing Marduk ordered Khedorla’omar to seize and defile Babylon:

         “The gods…

         to Kudur-Laghamar, king of the land of Elam,

         they decreed: ‘Descend there!’

         That which to the city was bad he performed;

         In Babylon, the precious city of Marduk, kingship he overthrew;

         To herds of dogs its temple he made a den;

         Flying ravens, loud shrieking, their dung dropped there …”

 

After the “bad deeds” were done there, Utu / Shamash sought action against Nabu, who (he had said in accusation) had subverted the allegiance of a certain king to his father.

         “Before the gods the son of his father (came);

         On that day Shamash (Utu), the Bright One,

         against the lord of lords, Marduk (he said):

         “The faithfulness of his heart (the king) betrayed–

         in the time of the thirteen year a falling-out against my father (he had);

         to his faith-keeping the king ceased to attend;

         all this Nabu has caused to happen. …”

In addition to “evil deeds” against Marduk and Babylon, an attack against Nabu and his temple Ezida in Borsippa was also planned. But Nabu managed to escape westward

         “Fron Ezida…

         Nabu, to marshal all his cities set his step;

         Toward the great sea he set his course …”

…verses in the Babylonian text…have a direct parallel in the biblical tale of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah:

         “But when the son of Marduk in the land of the coast was,

         He-of-the-Evil-Wind (Erra) (Nergal) with heat the plain-land burnt.

         He (Nabu) the great sea entered,

         Sat upon a throne which was not his

         (Because) Ezida, the legitimate abode, was overrun …”

 

Enki stood by his firstborn son:

         “Now that Prince Marduk has arisen,

         now that the people for the second time have raised his image,

         why does Erra continue his opposition? …”

 

Finally, loosing his patience, Enki shouted at Nergal to get out of his presence. Leaving in a huff, Nergal returned to his domain. “Consulting with himself,”  he decided to unleash the awesome weapons:

         “The lands I will destroy, to a deep dust-heap make them;

         the cities I will upheaval, to desolation turn them;

         the mountains I will flatten, their animals make disappear;

         the seas I will agitate, that which teems in them I will decimate;

         the people I will make vanish, their souls shall turn to vapor;

         none shall be spared. …”

 

         “Nabu, who comes, stands over, and watches.:

         He is the criminal who is with Bel …..

         Because he is with Bel (Marduk).

        Tashmetu (Nabu’s spouse), who bows down with him.

         She has come to greet him.

         The Lady of Babylon, who does not go to the Akitu temple.

         She is the governess of the temple …”

 

 

Esarhaddon Quotes From Sitchin Books, etc.

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

(gods in blue …mixed-breed demigods in teal…)

 

According to the Old Testament, after Sennacherib returned to Nineveh,

        “it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch,

        that Adrammelech and Sharezzer his sons smote him with a sword;

        and they escaped unto the land of Ararat.

        And Esarhaddon, his son , reigned in his stead …”

An inscription of Esarhaddon known as the Prism B describes the circumstances…On the command of the great gods, Sennacherib had publicly proclaimed that his younger son as successor:

        “He called together the people of Assyria, young and old,

        and he made my brothers, the male offspring of my father,

        take a solemn oath in the presence of the gods of Assyria…

        in order to secure my succession …”

The brothers then broke their oath, killing Sennacherib and seeking to kill Esarhaddon. But the gods snatched him away

        “and made me stay in a hiding place…preserving me for kingship …”

After a period of turmoil Esarhaddon received

        “a trustworthy command from the gods: …”

        “Go, do not delay! We will march with you! …”

The deity who was delegated to accompany Esarhaddon was Ishtar. As his brothers’ forces came out of Nineveh to beat off his attack on the capitol,

       “Ishtar (Inanna), the Lady of Battle,

       who wished me to be her high priest, stood at my side.

       She broke their bows, scattered their orderly battle array …”

Once the Ninevite troops were disorganized, Ishtar addressed them in behalf of Esarhaddon.

       “Upon her lofty command, they went over in masses to me

       and rallied behind me, and recognized me as their king …”

(gods in blue)

 

The Babylonians destroyed Nineveh in 612 B.C.

Ashurbanipal: He was king of Nineveh. He compiled a huge library of 25,000 tablets in Nineveh. A section of the library, comprising of 23 tablets, ended with the statement, “23rd tablet: language of Shumer not changed.”

Many of the tablets claim to be copies of “olden texts”. One text contains a statement by Anshurbanipal:

        “The god of scribes has bestowed on me the gift of the knowledge of his art.

        I have been initiated into the secrets of writing.

        I can even read the intricate tablets in Shumerian;

        I understand the enigmatic words in the stone carvings

        from the days before the Flood …”

Ashurbanipal wrote

        “The terror-inspiring Brilliance of Ashur,”

        “blinded the Pharaoh so that he became a madman …”

 

        “TO NABÛ, EXALTED LORD, WHO DWELLS IN EZIDA,

        WHICH IS IN NINEVEH, HIS LORD:

        I ASHURBANIPAL, KING OF ASSYRIA,

        THE ONE LONGED FOR AND DESTINED BY HIS GREAT DIVINITY,

        WHO, AT THE ISSUING OF HIS ORDER

        AND THE GIVING OF HIS SOLEMN DECREE,

        CUT OFF THE HEAD OF TE’UMMAN, KING OF ELAM,

        AFTER DEFEATING HIM IN BATTLE,

        AND WHOSE GREAT COMMAND MY HAND CONQUERED UMMAN- IGASH,

        TANMARIT, PA’E AND UMMAN-ALTASH,

        WHO RULED OF ELAM AFTER TE’UMMAN.

        I YOKED THEM TO MY SEDAN CHAIR,

        MY ROYAL CONVEYANCE.

        WITH HIS GREAT HELP I ESTABLISHED DECENT ORDER

        IN ALL THE LANDS WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

        AT THAT TIME I ENLARGED THE STRUCTURE OF THE COURT

        OF THE TEMPLE OF NABÛ, MY LORD,

        USING MASSIVE LIMESTONE.

        MAY NABÛ LOOK WITH JOY ON THIS,

        MAY HE FIND IT ACCEPTABLE.

        BY THE RELIABLE IMPRESS OF YOUR WEDGES

        MAY THE ORDER FOR A LIFE OF LONG DAYS

        COME FORTH FROM YOUR LIPS,

        MAY MY FEET GROW OLD BY WALKING IN EZIDA

        IN YOUR DIVINE PRESENCE”

MS in Neo Assyrian on limestone, Nineveh, Assyria, ca. 646 BC, 1 limestone slab, 47x42x4 cm, single column, 19 lines in Neo Assyrian cuneiform script.

Commentary: King Ashurbanipal (669-631 BC) rebuilt Ezida, the temple of Nabû, the god of writing.

BANQUETS

Bas-reliefs show kings and queens banqueting in lush gardens, attended by servants, and entertained by musicians. In a relief from Khorsabad, the nobles sat at tables of four. In front of them was placed a dish of food as they toasted the king, raising a rhythm cornucopia-shaped drinking cup) with a base in the shape of a lion´s head.

When king Assurnasirpal II built his new capital at Nimrud, he hosted a huge banquet to celebrate opening ceremonies. A historical summary of the event provides us with a detailed menu, the number of guests and their country of origin:

“When Assurnasirpal, king of Assyria, inaugurated the palace in Calah,

a palace of joy, built with great ingenuity,

he invited into it Assur (the Assyrian national god),

the great lord and the gods of the entire country.

He prepared a banquet of 1,000 fattened head of cattle,

1000 calves, 10,000 stable sheep, 15,000 lamb –

for my lady Ishtar alone 200 heads of cattle and

And … 1,000 spring lambs, 500 stags, 500 gazelles,

1,000 ducks, 500 geese… 10,000 doves… 10,000 skins with wine …

1,000 wooden crates with vegetables, 300 containers with oil,

300 containers with salted seeds… 100 containers of fine mixed beer,

100 pomegranates, 100 bunches of grapes, 100 pistachio cones….

100 with garlic, 100 with onions… 100 with honey, 100 with rendered butter,

100 with roasted … barley, 10 homer of shelled peanuts… 10 homer of dates…

10 homer of cumin… 10 homer of thyme, 10 homer of perfumed oil,

10 homer of sweet smelling matters…

10 homer of zinzimu-onions, 10 homer of olives.

When I inaugurated the palace at Calah,

I hosted for 10 days with food and drink

47,074 persons, men and women,

who were bid to com from across my entire country,

also 5,000 important persons, delegates from the country Sukhu,

from Khindana, Khatina, Hatti, Tyre, Sidon,

Gurguma, Malida, Khubushka, Gilzana,

Kuma and Musasir (capital of Urartu),

also 16,000 inhabitants of Calah from all ways of life,

1500 officials of all my palace,

altogether 69,574 invited guests…

furthermore, I provided them with the means to cean and anoint themselves.

I did them due honors an sent them back,

healthy and happy to their own countries. …”

The menu despite difficulties in translation has furnished us with an outline of the banquet: 1) meat dishes, such as sheet, cattle, and some game; fowl, mostly small and aquatic birds; fish and jerboa, and a large variety of eggs; 2) bread; 3) beer and wine in identical amounts, 4) side dishes (mostly pickled and spiced fruit and a large variety of seeds and onion); 5) dessert (sweet fruits, nuts, honey, cheese) and savories, most are still not identifiable. Finally perfumed oil and sweet smelling substances were listed.

II Kings, chapters 18 & 19:

        “in the fourteen year of the king Hezekiah

        Sennacherib, the king of Assyria,

        came upon all the walled cities of Judea and captured them …”

the question of whether the Assyrian invasion of Judea was authorized by the lord Yahweh:

        “Concerning the king of Assyria…

        the way that he came, he shall return;

        and unto this city he shall not come in…

        for I shall defend this city to save it …”

Quoting the Bible:

        “And it came to pass that night,

        that the angel of Yahweh went forth

        and smote in the camp of the Assyrians

        a hundred and eighty-five thousand;

        and at sunrise, lo and behold,

        they were all dead corpses.

        So Sennacherib, the king of Assyria,

        departed, and journey back and dwelt in Nineveh…”

Sennacherib failed to conquer Jerusalem…

According to the Old Testament, after Sennacherib returned to Nineveh,

        “it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch,

        that Adrammelech and Sharezzer his sons smote him with a sword;

        and they escaped unto the land of Ararat.

        And Esarhaddon, his son , reigned in his stead…”

 

The Greek historian Herodotus, who wrote his Histories ca. 450 BC, speaks of a divinely-appointed disaster destroying an army of Sennacherib (2:141):

“when Sanacharib, king of the Arabians and Assyrians,

marched his vast army into Egypt,

the warriors one and all refused to come to his (i.e., the Pharaoh Sethos) aid.

On this the monarch, greatly distressed,

entered into the inner sanctuary,

and, before the image of the god,

bewailed the fate which impended over him.

As he wept he fell asleep,

and dreamed that the god came and stood at his side,

bidding him be of good cheer,

and go boldly forth to meet the Arabian host,

which would do him no hurt,

as he himself would send those who should help him.

Sethos, then, relying on the dream,

collected such of the Egyptians as were willing to follow him,

who were none of them warriors,

but traders, artisans, and market people;

and with these marched to Pelusium,

which commands the entrance into Egypt,

and there pitched his camp.

As the two armies lay here opposite one another,

there came in the night, a multitude of field-mice,

which devoured all the quivers and bowstrings of the enemy,

and ate the thongs by which they managed their shields.

Next morning they commenced their fight, and great multitudes fell,

as they had no arms with which to defend themselves.

There stands to this day in the temple of Vulcan, a stone statue of Sethos,

with a mouse in his hand, and an inscription to this effect –

“Look on me, and learn to reverence the gods …”

 ”

Forty-six of Hezekiah’s cities (cities 1st millennium BC terms ranged in size from large modern-day towns to villages) were conquered by Sennacherib, but Jerusalem did not fall. His own account of this invasion, as given in the Taylor prism, is as follows:

 

“Because Hezekiah, king of Judah, would not submit to my yoke,

I came up against him,

and by force of arms and by the might of my power

I took 46 of his strong fenced cities;

and of the smaller towns which were scattered about,

I took and plundered a countless number.

From these places I took and carried off 200,156 persons,

old and young, male and female,

together with horses and mules, asses and camels,

oxen and sheep, a countless multitude;

and Hezekiah himself I shut up in Jerusalem,

his capital city, like a bird in a cage,

building towers round the city to hem him in,

and raising banks of earth against the gates, so as to prevent escape…

Then upon Hezekiah there fell the fear of the power of my arms,

and he sent out to me the chiefs

and the elders of Jerusalem with 30 talents of gold and 800 talents of silver,

and diverse treasures, a rich and immense booty…

All these things were brought to me at Nineveh, the seat of my government …”

Asalim / Asari Quotes From Texts Asalim / Asari / Ashur = Osiris, Marduk‘s eldest son

         “May Asari, the great ruler of the abzu (Enki‘s family domain),

         who provides advice for all the foreign lands, the lordly one of Eridug (Eridu, Enki‘s city) …”

 

         “at the command uttered by Enlil, Enki and Asalim,

         Zababa, Lugal-gu-dua, the king who builds temples, …”

 

         “he is the trustworthy farmer of the house of Asalim,

         who takes care that provisions do not cease in E-saj-ila …”

 

The name Asari is similar to, if not the same as, Asshur, and in fact the Assyrians took the “Enuma Elish” and substituted the name “Assur” for “Marduk” throughout the text:

“O Asari, ‘Bestower of planting,’ ‘Founder of sowing’

         ‘Creator of grain and plants,’

         ‘who caused the green herb to spring up!’

         O Asaru-alim, “who is revered in the house of counsel,’

         ‘who aboundeth in counsel,’

         The gods paid homage, fear took hold upon them!

         O Asaru-alim-nuna, ‘the mighty one,’

         ‘the Light of the father who begot him,’

‘Who directeth the decrees of Anu, Bel (Enlil), and Ea (Enki)!’

         He was their patron, be ordained their…;

         He, whose provision is abundance, goeth forth’ …”

 

Biblical References

        Genesis 10:8-12,

        “And Cush (Kish) begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

        He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said,

        Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.

        And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech (Uruk),

        and Accad (Akkad), and Calneh, in the land of Shinar (Sumer).

        Out of that land went forth Asshur (Ashur / Osiris), and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth,

        and Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city …“

 

Ezekiel 32:22-23

        “There are Assur and all his company: all his slain have been laid there:

         and their burial is in the depth of the pit, and his company are set around about his tomb:

         all the slain that fell by the sword, who had caused the fear of them to be upon the land of the living …”

Here is what the Bible Knowledge Commentary has to say about Nimrod, the post-flood world’s first conqueror:

“Because his name seems to be connected with the verb “to rebel” (mārad), tradition has identified him with tyrannical power. He was the founder of the earliest imperial world powers in Babylon and Assyria. The table [Genesis 10] simply presents him as a mighty hunter, a trait found commonly in Assyrian kings. He was founder of several powerful cities. The centers he established became major enemies of Israel.”

Micah 5:6

        “They will rule the land of Assyria (erets Asshur) with the sword,

        the land of Nimrod (erets Nimrod) with drawn sword.

        He will deliver us from the Assyrian (Asshur)

        when he invades our land and marches into our borders …”

 

        (Scholars tell us that Nimrod was King Hammurabi of Babylon)

The reign of Thoth in Egypt (from about 8670 to 7100 B.C.) His accession followed the Peace Conference. Egyptians say of his accession:

        “In the presence of the Determiners of Annu, following the night of the battle …”

after he had helped

        “defeat the Storm Wind (Adad) and the Whirlwind” (Ninurta)

        and then assisted in “making the two combatants be at peace …”

the reign of Thoth was a time of peace among the gods…the Egyptian “Age of the demigods” (offspring of the cohabitation of gods and humans) was from 7,100 B.C. to 3,450 B.C.

(Assyrian King Esarhaddon Speaking:)

        “[At that] time, Ekur (“House, Mountain”), the temple (residence) of the god En[li]l, lord of the lands, my lord,

        which a previous king had [built], became [ol]d and [its] walls [buckl]ed.

        [I sou]ght [its (original) emplacement], removed its dilapidated parts, (and) surveyed its (entire) foundation.

        I [completely] (re)bu[ilt (it)] with the work of the god Kulla (Ningishzidda)

        according to [its ancien]t spe[cifications (and) raised its top (as high) as a mountain.]”

 

          “At that time Ebaradurgara, the temple of the goddess Queen-of-Nippur (Ninlil), the great lady, my lady,

         which a previous king had built, became old and its walls buckled.

         I sought its (original) emplacement, removed its dilapidated parts, (and) surveyed its (entire) foundation.

         I completely (re)built (it) with the work of the god Kulla (Ningishzidda) according to its ancient specifications

         (and) raised its top (as high) as a mountain.

 

         “I bui[lt Etemenanki, the ziqqurat], as it was before — its length [is one ašlu

         (and) one ṣup]pān, (and) its width is one ašlu (and) one ṣuppān.

       I offered pure offerings to […] the great [gods] and the god Kulla (Ningishzidda), the lord of foundations (and) bricks.

         I laid their foundations with […] …, wine, (and) kurunnu-wine, and I secured [their] footings.

       [I had foundation inscriptions made of (…)] basalt [(and) I wro]te [on them] the glory of the great lord, my lord,

        Imgur-Enlil, its wall, (and) Nēmed-Enlil, its outer wall,

        built anew with the work of the god Kulla (Ningishzidda) and I raised (them) like mountains.

        I am the one who (re)built Babylon, (re)constructed Esagil, renewed (it) gods and goddesses, …”

 

(Ashurbanipal, King of Assyria Speaking:)

          “(With regard to) Egigunû, the ziqqurat of Nippur,

        whose foundation is made secure on the breast of the Watery Abyss (apsû),

        whose enclosure wall had become old and eroded,

        I repaired its dilapidated section(s) with baked bricks from a (ritually) pure kiln, and completed its structure.

        I had it built anew with the work of the god Kulla (Ningishzidda) and made it shine like daylight.

        I raised its top (as high) as a mountain and made [its] appearance resplendent.”

 

          “At that time, I sought the (original) emplacement of Ebabbar,

        which is inside Sippar, the temple of the god Šamaš (Utu), the great lord, my lord,

        which had become old, buckled, and collapsed.

        I had (it) (re)built anew with the work of the god Kulla (Ningishzidda) and raised its top (as high) as a mountain.”

 

          “At [that time, (with regard to) 1ābi-supūršu, the (city) wall of Borsippa,

        in order to] increase [the securi]ty of Ezida and the (other) sanctuaries of Borsippa,

        [with the strength of] my [labour] forces I had [Ṭā]bi-supūršu, [its] (city) wall, built [quickly] anew

        [with] the work of the god Kulla (Ningishzidda) and refitted [its gates.

        I had] (new) doors made and hung (them) in its gateways.”

 

          “At that time, (with regard to) Imgur-Enlil (“The God Enlil Showed Favor”), the (city) wall of Babylon,

          (and) Nēmet-Enlil (“Bulwark of the God Enlil”), its outer wall,

          which had become old and buckled (and) collapsed,

          in order to increase the security of Esagil and the (other) sanctuaries of Babylon,

          with the strength of my labor forces I had Nēmet-Enlil, its outer wall, built quickly anew

          with the work of the god Kulla (Ningishzidda) and I refitted its gates.

          I had (new) doors made and hung (them) in its gateways.“

(gods in blue …mixed-breed demigods in teal…)

 

         “Enki addressed to Enlil words of lauding:

         ‘O one who is foremost among the brothers,

         Bull of Heaven, who the fate of Mankind holds:

         In my lands, desolation is wide spread;

         All the dwellings are filled with sorrow by your attacks’ …”

 

…the territorial disputes be brought to and end and the lands rightfully belonging to the Enlilites and the people of the line of Shem be vacated by the Enkites. Enki agreed to cede forever these territories:

         “I will grant thee the rulers position in the gods’ Restricted Zone;

         The Radiant Place, in thy hand I will e..ntrust! …”

In so ceding the Restricted Zone (the Sinai peninsula with its spaceport) and the Radiant Place (the site of Mission Control Center, the future Jerusalem) Enki had a firm condition…the sovereignty of Enki and his descendants over the Giza complex had to recognized for all time.

Enlil agreed but…sons of Enki who had brought about the war and used the Great Pyramid for combat…be barred from ruling over Giza…or the whole of Lower Egypt. Enki agreed.

        “For the formidable House Which is Raised Like a Heap …”

he appointed the prince who is like a full-grown ibex–…and commanded him to guard the Place of Life.

         “He then granted the young god

         the exalted title NIN.GISH.ZI.DA (Lord of the Artifact of Life) …”

A hymn…believed composed by the daughter of Sargon (Enheduanna) of Akkad in the 3rd millennium B.C. exalted the pyramid-house of Ningishzidda and confirmed its Egyptian location:

         “Enduring place, light-hued mountain which in an artful fashion was fashioned.

         Its dark hidden chamber is an awe-inspiring place; in a Field of Supervision it lies.

         Awesome, its ways no one can fathom.

         In the Land of the Shield your pedestal is closely knit as a fine-mesh net…

         At night you face the heavens, your ancient measurements are surpassing.

         Your interior knows the place where Utu (the sun god) rises,

         the measure of its width is far reaching.

         Your prince is the prince whose pure hand is outstretched,

         whose luxuriant and abundant hair flows down on his back–

         the lord Ningishzidda …”

 

Another text called Ningishzidda the “falcon among gods”.

Egyptians call this son of Enki / Ptah...”god of the cord who measures the Earth”.

…first urban settlements in Jerico (from 8,500 B.C. To 7,000 B.C.) The reign of Thoth in Egypt (from about 8,670 to 7,100 B.C.) His accession followed the Peace Conference. Egyptians say of his accession:

         “In the presence of the Determiners of Annu, following the night of the battle …”

after he had helped

         “defeat the Storm Wind (Adad) and the Whirlwind (Ninurta) …”

and then assisted in:

         “making the two combatants be at peace …”

the reign of Thoth was a time of peace among the gods…the Egyptian “Age of the demigods” (offspring of the cohabitation of gods and humans) was from 7100 B.C. to 3450 B.C.

According to Gudea’s inscriptions, “the Lord of Girsu” appeared unto him in a vision, standing beside his “Divine Black Bird”. The god expressed to him the wish that a new E.NINNU (“House of Fifty”)–also Ninurta’s numerical rank, be built by Gudea.

Gudea was given two sets of divine instructions: one from a goddess who in one hand

         “held the tablet of the favorable star of heavens …”

and with the other

         “held a holy stylus …”

with which she indicated to Gudea “the favorable planet” in whose direction the temple should be oriented.

The other set of instructions came from a god that Gudea did not recognize…Ningishzidda. He handed to Gudea a tablet made of precious stone

         “the plan of a temple it contained …”

Ningishzidda…knew how to secure the foundations of the temples; he was

         “the great god who held the plans …”

         “a god called forth from obscurity in Gudea’s time, …”

only to become a “phantom god” and a mere memory in later (Babylonian and Assyrian) times.
