The name Martu can be written syllabically as Amurru or as a logogram MAR.TU which represents the Sumerian reading. But who or what was Amurru? The Amurru people are often mentioned in Mesopotamian inscriptions as the nomadic people of the steppe, who would come down from the hillsides and raid the agricultural products of the settled people of Sumer and Babylon.
1-8 When the city of Inab already existed, but the city of Kiritab did not yet exist,
when the holy crown already existed, but the holy tiara did not yet exist,
when the holy herb already existed, but the holy cedar did not yet exist,
when holy salt already existed, but holy alkali did not yet exist, when intercourse and kissing already existed,
when giving birth in the fields already existed — I was the grandfather of the holy cedar,
I was the ancestor of the mes tree, I was the mother and father of the white cedar, I was the relative of the hacur cedar.
9-15 At that time there was a princely land among the cities; Inab was this princely land among the cities.
The ruler of Inab was Tigi-cem-ala.
Now, he had a wife whose name was Cage-gur (Desired-by-the-heart),
and a child, who ……, and her name was …….
16-25 The people living around the city hung up nets, the people living around Inab hung up nets, hung up nets,
chased gazelles and killed the gazelles as one kills humans.
One day, as the evening came, and they had reached the place of rations, they established the rations before the god ……
(The correct form of this name is not known).
The ration of a married man was established as double, the ration of a man with a child was established as triple;
the ration of a single man was established as single;
but the ration of Martu, though being single, was also established as double (giant god).
(Ninhursag & her brother / son Martu, both King Anu‘s offspring)
(incest amongst alien Anunnaki gods was very common, especially inside their royal family, advanced science prevented problems)
26-33 Martu went home to his own mother, and spoke to her:
“In my city I am among my friends and they all have already married wives;
I am there among my mates, and they all have already married wives.
Unlike my friends in my city I am single, I am single and I have no children.
Yet the imposed share exceeds that of my friends; over and above that of my mates, I received half of theirs.”
34-40 One day, as the evening came, and they had reached again the place of rations,
they established the rations before the god ……
(The correct form of this name is not known).
The ration of a married man was established as double, the ration of a man with a child was established as triple;
the ration of a single man was established as single;
but the ration of Martu, though being single, was also established as double.
(ancient artifacts of princess-goddess, Ninhursag)
41-52 Martu went home to his own mother (Ninhursag), and spoke to her:
“My mother, find me a wife to marry and I will bring you my ration.”
His own mother replied to Martu:
“Su-henuna, my son, I will give you advice; may my advice be heeded.
I shall say a word to you; you should pay attention to it.
Marry a wife of your choice, marry a wife of your heart’s desire, give me thus a companion, …… me a slave-girl.
Having built the houses of (?) your people living around the city,
and …… gardens, you will dig the wells of (?) your mates.
Martu, …… mates ……”
53-66 At that time a festival was announced in the city;
a festival was announced in the city of Inab (ancient city just northwest of today’s Aleppo, Syria).
(Martu said:) “Come, friends, let us go, let us go there, let us visit the ale-houses of Inab, let us go there.”
(giant 2/3rds divine King Gilgamesh, Martu & Utu)
The god Numucda (Utu) participated in the festival; his beloved daughter Adjar-kidug participated in the festival,
(Aya, Utu, & Utu‘s father Nannar)
his wife Namrat (Aya), the lovely woman participated in the festival.
In the city, bronze cem drums were rumbling, and the seven ala drums resounded as strong men,
(Inanna & other Anunnaki practice skills with hand-to-hand contests, earthlings learn their customs)
girdled champions, entered the wrestling house to compete with each other
(Utu / Shamash, Anunnaki son to Nannar & Ningal, born on Earth)
for Numucda (Utu / Shamash) in the temple of Inab.
There were many coming to Inab, the city where the festival was taking place, to marvel at this.
There were many coming to Inab, the city where the festival was taking place, to marvel at this.
(Martu participates in the great sporting events of the gods, Olympic custom of today)
\67-75 For Numucda, because he was holy (?), Martu too strode around the great courtyard
to compete in wrestling at the gate of Inab.
They kept looking for strong fighters for him, they kept offering him strong fighters.
Martu strode around in the great courtyard.
He hit them with a destructive …… one by one.
In the great courtyard, in the battle he caused them to be bandaged;
in the great courtyard of Inab he lifted the bodies of the dead.
76-90 Rejoicing over Martu, Numucda offered him silver, but he would not accept it.
He offered jewels, but he would not accept them.
Having done so a second time, having done so a third time
(Utu‘s grand-uncle & son-in-law Martu, & Ashur)
(Martu says): “Where does your silver lead? Where do your jewels lead?
I, Martu, would rather marry your daughter, I would rather marry your daughter Adjar-kidug.”

“Now listen, their hands are destructive and their features are those of monkeys;
(giant alien god Martu, & his primitive ape-like “Martu” earthling)

He lives in the mountains and ignores the places of gods,

He has no house during his life, and when he dies he will not be carried to a burial-place.
My girlfriend, why would you marry Martu?”
Adjar-kidug replies to her girlfriend: “I will marry Martu!”
