(gods in blue)

Enlil whose command is far-reaching, lofty his word (and) holy,

Whose pronouncement is unchangeable, who decrees destinies unto the distant future,

Whose lifted eye scans the land,

Whose lifted beam searches the heart of all the land–

(Enlil, Earth Colony Commander, son & heir to alien Anunnaki King Anu of planet Nibiru)

When Father Enlil seats himself broadly on the holy dais, on the lofty dais,

When Numamnir (Enlil) carries out to supreme perfection lordship and kingship,

The earth-gods bow down willingly before him,

The Anunna (Anunnaki) humble themselves before him,

Stand by faithfully in accordance with (their) instructions.

The great (and) mighty lord, supreme in heaven (and) earth,

the all-knowing one who understands the judgment,

Has set up (his) seat in Duranki–the wise one,

Made preeminent in princeship the kiur, the “great place,”

(E-kur, Enlil‘s mud-brick-built mountain / residence in Nippur)

In Nippur the lofty bellwether of the universe he erected (his) dwelling.

The city–its “face” is awesome fear (and) dread,

Its outside no mighty god can approach,

Its inside is (full of) cries of mutilation, cries of bloodshed,

It is a trap that serves as a pit and net against the rebellious land,

It grants not long days to the braggart,

Allows no evil word to be uttered against (the divine) judgment.

Hypocrisy, distortion,

Abuse, malice, unseemliness,

Insolence, enmity, oppression,

Envy, (brute) force, libelous speech,

Arrogance, violation of agreement, breach of contract, abuse of a court verdict,

(All these) evils the city does not tolerate.

(Enlil‘s alien communication towers throughout Sumerian cities)

Nippur, whose “arm” is a vast net,

Whose “heart” is the fast-stepping hurin-bird,

Whose “hand” the wicked and evil cannot escape;

The city endowed with truth,

Where righteousness (and) justice are perpetuated,

Where clean garments are worn (even) at the quay,

Where the older brother honors the younger brother, acts humanely (towards him),

Where the word of the elders is heeded, where it is repeated in fear,

Where the son humbly fears his mother, where eldership endures–,

(Nippur ruins way below Enlil‘s ziggurat, top added in 1900)

In the city, the holy seat of Enlil,…

Enlil, when you marked off holy settlements on earth,

You built Nippur as your very own city,

The kiur, the mountain, your pure place, whose water is sweet,

You founded in the Duranki (“Bond Heaven to Earth”), in the center of the four corners (of the universe),

Its ground, the life of the land, the life of all the lands,

Its brickwork of red metal, its foundations of lapis-lazuli,

You have reared it up in Sumer like a wild ox,

All lands bow the head to it,

(early “modern man” celebrating with the giant alien gods in their image & likeness)

During its great festivals, the people spend (all) their time in bountifulness….

Enlil, the shepherd upon whom you gaze (favorably),

The legitimate one, whom you have raised over the land–

The foreign land at his hand, the foreign land at his foot,

(As well as) the most distant of foreign lands you make subservient to him,

Like refreshing water, overflowing goods from all over,

Their offerings and heavy tribute,

They brought into the storehouse,

Into the main courtyard they conducted (their) gifts,

Into the Ekur, the “lapis-lazuli” house they brought them in homage.

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

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

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

(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:

(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.

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

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

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

(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.

(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:

(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;

(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,

(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.

^28-30The 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.

^31-31This is the sagida.

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

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

^34-34It is the antiphon of the sagida.

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

^35-43May 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)

(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,

(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.

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

(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.

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

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,

(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.

^54-59The 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!

^63-63It is the sajara.

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

^65-65It is the antiphon of the sajara.

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

^66-68Heaven’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!

^69-69It is its urune.
