MY GRANDMOTHER'S KNEE
compiled by Dee Finney
7-9-10 - DREAM - I was in a small
house, talking on the telephone, trying to find my cousin who knew about
my Grandmother's knee scar. I kept repeating it over and over
about the scar on her knee.
As soon as I woke up, I knew
that my grandmother's knee was a scarred planet or moon.
Here it is:

It took me three hours to find this picture,
because I didn't really know what I was looking for, even though I knew
I had seen it before somewhere on the internet.
Joe suggested that I start by
looking up planetary mythology - which is where I found the Grandmother:
NAMMU.
I tried to find out what NAMMU correlated to in
English terms, and didn't find anything.
Since Miranda is a moon of
Uranus -could NAMMU be from Uranus?
Uranus has a
ring system, a
magnetosphere, and numerous
moons. The Uranian system has a unique configuration among the
planets because its
axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its
revolution about the Sun. As such, its north and south poles lie where
most other planets have their
equators.
Seen from
Earth, Uranus's rings can sometimes appear to circle the planet like
an
archery target and its moons revolve around it like the hands of a
clock, though in 2007 and 2008 the rings appeared edge-on. In 1986,
images from
Voyager 2 showed Uranus as a virtually featureless planet in
visible light without the cloud bands or storms associated with the
other giants.[17]
However, terrestrial observers have seen signs of
seasonal
change and increased weather activity in recent years as Uranus
approached its
equinox.
The wind speeds on Uranus can reach 250 meters per second (900 km/h,
560 mph).
It is apparent that Miranda crashed into Uranus.
Uranus then probably captured Miranda through gravity. According
to a source, Miranda was originally a moon of Saturn, moved towards
Uranus by the Annunaki and because of gravity, they crashed together and
Uranus flipped over. The Annunaki then chose another moon of
Saturn and moved it towards Earth.
In reality, the Annunaki
towing this barren ice-covered moon, they named it Nibiru. "Giver of
Life".
Thought the Annunaki tried really hard to move Nibiru
carefully, it crashed furiously into Earth, and left it's ice behind,
creating the water that is now on Earth.
However, the crash had
an even more devastating effect on Nibiru, and it was flung into a huge
orbital pattern, not only physically, but inter-dimensionally, which it
has not recovered from.
The Anunakis, having such long life
spans and the fact that they are also inter-dimensional beings, jump off
of Nibiru and visit Earth when they come close together. Nibiru
cannot always be seen because of its inter-dimentional composition as
well. The only way to tell that Nibiru is close by Earth is that
when the Annunakis visit, the technology of Earth increases
tremendously.
The orbit is about 3669
years, but because in other dimensions it can move quicker or slower,
this is extremely subject to change. In
general it is within 200 years of this time.
Nevertheless, because it can make this orbit totally unseen by the
earth due to its location in dimension or realm at the time of its
passing, it will often only be known by those who can see into these
other dimensions.
This pass will not be in this
dimension. Even though Nibiru may show up in
close dimensions as it approaches, so that sometimes it can be seen
on photographs, it has been concluded that it will not be in a
position to show (be seen) or even to cause problems with the earth
until it passes again in about 7400 years from now.

NAMMU is
considered the grandmother of a great many offspring descendants.
(They are all listed below) She was considered the goddess of the Sea.
Her husband was ANU. (AN) She was Saltwater, and he was Freshwater.
After the sumerian mythology, around year 4000 BC, a sumerian couple
lived in Dilmun (identified today as the isle of Bahrain) : Nammu and
her husband An.
After her death, Nammu became the Goddess of the sea (abzu) and ANU
(An) became the God of the Sky. Nammu was the mother and ancestor of all
the sumerian gods. Nammu will be later called : Ningal and An : Nanna
(their Akkadian names).
Kings of Assyria Assyria
or Athura (Aramaic for Assyria) was a Semitic Akkadian kingdom,
extant as a nation state from the late 25th or early–24th century BC
to 608 BC centred on the Upper Tigris river, in northern Mesopotamia
(present day northern Iraq), that came to rule regional empires a
number of times through history. It was named for its original
capital, the ancient city of Assur.

NOAH WAS THE FIRST 'PERFECTED' MAN, CREATED BY THOTH, AND SAVED TO
PERPETUATE MANKIND
DAVID ICKE - 5 HOUR LECTURE

Ur-Nammu (seated) bestows governorship on Ḫašḫamer, patesi (high
priest) of Iškun-Sin (cylinder seal impression, ca. 2100 BC).
Ur-Nammu was the husband of Inanna.
Code of Ur-Nammu
The Code of
Ur-Nammu is the oldest known tablet containing a
law code surviving today. It was written in the
Sumerian language
circa
2100 BC-2050
BC . Although the preface directly credits the laws to king
Ur-Nammu of Ur
(2112-2095 BC), some historians think they should rather be ascribed
to his son
Shulgi.
The first copy of the code, in two fragments found at
Nippur,
was translated by
Samuel Kramer in
1952;
owing to its partial preservation, only the prologue and 5 of the
laws were discernible[1].
Further tablets were found in
Ur and
translated in 1965, allowing some 40 of the 57 laws to be
reconstructed.[2]
Another copy found in
Sippar
contains slight variants.
Although it is known that earlier law-codes existed, such as the
Code of
Urukagina, this represents the earliest legal text that is
extant. It predated the
Code of Hammurabi by some three centuries.
The laws are arranged in casuistic form of if-(crime),
then-(punishment) — a pattern to be followed in nearly all
subsequent codes. For the oldest extant law-code known to history,
it is considered remarkably advanced, because it institutes fines of
monetary compensation for bodily damage, as opposed to the later
lex talionis (‘eye for an eye’) principle of
Babylonian law; however,
murder,
robbery,
adultery and
rape
were capital offenses.
The code reveals a glimpse at societal structure during the "Sumerian
Renaissance". Beneath the lu-gal ("great man" or king),
all members of society belonged to one of two basic strata: The "lu"
or free person, and the slave (male, arad; female geme).
The son of a lu was called a dumu-nita until he
married, becoming a "young man" (gurus). A woman (munus)
went from being a daughter (dumu-mi), to a wife (dam),
then if she outlived her husband, a widow (nu-ma-su) who
could remarry.
The prologue, typical of Mesopotamian law codes, invokes the
deities for Ur-Nammu's kingship and decrees "equity in the land".
- "…After
An and
Enlil
had turned over the Kingship of Ur to
Nanna,
at that time did Ur-Nammu, son born of
Ninsun, for his beloved mother who bore him, in accordance
with his principles of equity and truth... Then did Ur-Nammu the
mighty warrior, king of Ur, king of Sumer and Akkad, by the
might of Nanna, lord of the city, and in accordance with the
true word of
Utu,
establish equity in the land; he banished malediction, violence
and strife, and set the monthly Temple expenses at 90 gur
of barley, 30 sheep, and 30 sila of butter. He fashioned the
bronze sila-measure, standardized the one-mina
weight, and standardized the stone weight of a
shekel of silver in relation to one mina... The orphan was
not delivered up to the rich man; the widow was not delivered up
to the mighty man; the man of one shekel was not delivered up to
the man of one mina."
One
mina ( 1/60 of a
talent ) was made equal to 60
shekels
( 1 shekel = 11
grams )
. Among the surviving laws are the following:
- 1. If a man commits a murder, that man must be killed.
- 2. If a man commits a robbery, he will be killed.
- 3. If a man commits a kidnapping, he is to be imprisoned and
pay 15 shekels of silver.
- 4. If a slave marries a slave, and that slave is set free,
he does not leave the household.
- 5. If a slave marries a native (i.e. free) person, he/she is
to hand the firstborn son over to his owner.
- 6. If a man violates the right of another and deflowers the
virgin wife of a young man, they shall kill that male.
- 7. If the wife of a man followed after another man and he
slept with her, they shall slay that woman, but that male shall
be set free. (§4 in some translations)
- 8. If a man proceeded by force, and deflowered the virgin
slavewoman of another man, that man must pay five shekels of
silver. (5)
- 9. If a man divorces his first-time wife, he shall pay her
one mina of silver. (6)
- 10. If it is a (former) widow whom he divorces, he shall pay
her half a mina of silver. (7)
- 11. If the man had slept with the widow without there having
been any marriage contract, he need not pay any silver. (8)
- 13. If a man is accused of
sorcery he must undergo
ordeal by water; if he is proven innocent, his accuser must
pay 3 shekels. (10)
- 14. If a man accused the wife of a man of adultery, and the
river ordeal proved her innocent, then the man who had accused
her must pay one-third of a mina of silver. (11)
- 15. If a prospective son-in-law enters the house of his
prospective father-in-law, but his father-in-law later gives his
daughter to another man, the father-in-law shall return to the
rejected son-in-law twofold the amount of bridal presents he had
brought. (12)
- 17. If a slave escapes from the city limits, and someone
returns him, the owner shall pay two shekels to the one who
returned him. (14)
- 18. If a man knocks out the eye of another man, he shall
weigh out ˝ a mina of silver. (15)
- 19. If a man has cut off another man’s foot, he is to pay
ten shekels. (16)
- 20. If a man, in the course of a scuffle, smashed the limb
of another man with a club, he shall pay one mina of silver.
(17)
- 21. If someone severed the nose of another man with a copper
knife, he must pay two-thirds of a mina of silver. (18)
- 22. If a man knocks out a tooth of another man, he shall pay
two shekels of silver. (19)
- 24. [...] If he does not have a slave, he is to pay 10
shekels of silver. If he does not have silver, he is to give
another thing that belongs to him. (21)
- 25. If a man’s slave-woman, comparing herself to her
mistress, speaks insolently to her, her mouth shall be scoured
with 1 quart of salt. (22)
- 28. If a man appeared as a witness, and was shown to be a
perjurer, he must pay fifteen shekels of silver. (25)
- 29. If a man appears as a witness, but withdraws his oath,
he must make payment, to the extent of the value in litigation
of the case. (26)
- 30. If a man stealthily cultivates the field of another man
and he raises a complaint, this is however to be rejected, and
this man will lose his expenses. (27)
- 31. If a man flooded the field of a man with water, he shall
measure out three kur of barley per iku of field.
(28)
- 32. If a man had let an arable field to a(nother) man for
cultivation, but he did not cultivate it, turning it into
wasteland, he shall measure out three kur of barley per
iku of field. (29)

ANNALS OF EARTH
©
1995, 2003 Dan Sewell Ward
Episode XII -- A Brief Chronology
It is perhaps time to bring these glorious
annals to closure -- or semi-closure inasmuch as there remains the
ever-so-slight expectation that the Earth and humanity's place in it may in fact
continue for at least the foreseeable future. Say, until next Friday. (As one
wag is reputed to have said, “The earth can't end today because it's already
tomorrow in Tahiti .”)
In bringing these annals, these glorious

Encyclop�dia Britannica, so it became partly obsolete. (A suggested updating
below that text has been offered, by removing some of the conflicting numbers
and offering much more absolute dates, mainly solar and lunar eclipse records.)
The later
chronology of
Assyria
has long been fixed, thanks to the lists of limmi, or archons, who gave their
names in succession to their years of office. Several copies of these lists from
the library of
Nineveh
are in existence, the earliest of which goes back to 911 B.C., while the latest
comes down to the middle of the reign of Assur-bani-pal. The beginning of a
king's reign is noted in the lists, and in some of them the chief events of the
year are added to the name of its archon, Assyrian chronology is, therefore,
certain from 911 B.C. to 666, and an
eclipse of the sun which is stated to have been visible in the month Sivan,
763 B.C., is one that has been calculated to have taken place on the 15th of
June of that year. The system of reckoning time by limmi was of Assyrian.
origin, and recent discoveries have made it clear that it went back to the first
days of the monarchy. Even in the distant colony at Kara Euyuk near Kaisariyeh
(Caesarea) in Cappadocia cuneiform tablets show that the Assyrian settlers used
it in the 15th century B.C. In
Babylonia a different system was adopted. Here the years were dated by the
chief events that distinguished them, as was also the case in Egypt in the epoch
of the Old Empire. What the event should be was determined by the government and
notified to all its officials; one of these notices, sent to the Babylonian
officials in Canaan in the reign of Samsuiluna, the son of Khammurabi, has been
found in the Lebanon. A careful register of the dates was kept, divided into
reigns, from which dynastic lists were afterwards compiled, giving the duration
of each king's reign as well as that of the several dynasties. Two of these
dynastic compilations have been discovered, unfortunately in an imperfect state.
In addition to the chronological tables, works of a more ambitious and
literary character were also attempted of the nature of chronicles. One of these
is the so-called "Synchronous History of Assyria and Babylonia," consisting of
brief notices, written by an Assyrian, of the occasions on which the kings of
the two countries had entered into relation, hostile or otherwise, with one
another; a second is the Babylonian Chronicle discovered by Dr Th. G. Pinches,
which gave a synopsis of Babylonian history from a Babylonian point of view, and
was compiled in the reign of Darius. It is interesting to note that its author
says of the battle of Khalule, which we know from the Assyrian inscriptions to
have taken place in 691 or 690 B,C., that he does "not know the year" when it
was fought: the records of Assyria had been already lost, even in Babylonia. The
early existence of an accurate system of dating is not surprising; it was
necessitated by the fact that Babylonia was a great trading community, in which
it was not only needful that commercial and legal documents should be dated, but
also that it should be possible to refer lasily to the dates of former business
transactions. The Babylonian and Assyrian kings had consequently no difficulty
in determining the age of their predecessors or of past events. Nabonidus
(Nabunaid), who was more of an antiquarian than a politician, and spent his time
in excavating the older temples of his country and ascertaining the names of
their builders, tells us that Naram-Sin, the son of Sargon of Akkad, lived 3200
years before himself (i.e. 3750 B.c.), and Sagarakti-suryas 800 years; and we
learn from Sennacherib that Shalmaneser I. reigned 600 years earlier, and that
Tiglath-pileser I. fought with Merodach-nadin-akhi (Marduk-nadin-akh~) of
Babylon 418 years before the campaign of 689 B.c.; while, according to
Tiglath-pileser I., the high-priest Samas-Hadad, son of IsmeDagon, built the
temple of Anu and Hadad at Assur 701 years before his own time. Shalmaneser I.
in his turn states that the high-priest Samas-Hadad, the son of Bel-kabi,
governed Assur 580 years previously, and that 159 years before this the
highpriest Erisum was reigning there. The raid of the Elamite king
Kutur-Nakhkhuntë is placed by Assur-bani-pal 1635 years before his own conquest
of Susa, and Khammurabi is said by Nabonidus to have preceded Burna-buryas by
700 years.
Modern critical revision with suggested updating as follow:
It is generally accepted by the archaeological consnsus that the son of
Sargon of Akkad cannot be placed as high as in 3750 BCE. As the reign of
King
Nabonidus ended by the accession of Cyrus in Babylonia around 539 or 538
BCE, the years may have been given by actual modern half years. The Jewish
chronology and the
Old Testament has the same situation with the same dilemma. Their "years"
may have been commenced both by the first day of Nisanu (Nisan)
and that of Tashritu (Tishri) in their remote histories. Therefore, it is likely
that the correct interval is not 3200 but 1600. It is probably a rounded figure.
One must be careful with the several intervals between rulers and events cited
by the above mentioned unearthed documents. We cannot prove that a totally
reliable chronological list was available for all the scribes, and they have
been versed historians. They may have been pressed to give a figure but not
enough time for a thorough research. Many of the figures contradict to each
other, etc.
We start our list of Babylonian kings with a significant ruler of
Erech called
Lugalzaggisi, placing him from 2411 to 2376. He was a contemporary of
Urukagina king of
Lagash
(reigned 2407-2399) and Sargon (2399-2343) king of
Akkad.
After Sargon, the next king was Rimush(...). His contemporary in
Ur was Ka-kug or
Ka-ku (2376-2341). The son and successor of Rimush was Manishtusu (2334-2329),
whose Assyrian viceroy was Abazu, son of Nuabu.
In this period the rulers of
Kish were
Simudarra or Simudar (2399-2369), a contemporary of Sargon. After him Usi-watar
(2369-2362), Eshtarmuti (2362-2351), Ishme-shamash (2351-2340), and Nannia
(2340-2243) reigned in Kish.
In Akkad, after Manishtusu, the following kings reigned:
-
2329-2282 Naram-sin
-
2282-2257 Shar-kali-sharri
He was contemporary with the first Gutian king, Erridupizir, and he later
defeated Sarlagab, another king of Gutium.
-
2257-???? Igigi, Nanum, and Imi, pretenders
-
????-2254 Elulu, a pretender, maybe King Elul(u)mesh of Gutium.
-
2254-2233 Dudu
-
2233-2218 Shu-durul
Shu-durul was the last ruler. (Agade/Akkad was defeated by Erech. Then
Erech
dominated until 2194, then eight
Median-Elamite
usurper tyrants ruled for 224 years, according to Berossos, from 2194 to 1970
BCE. Some of them are listed here.)
Erech:
-
2219-2212 Ur-nigin(ak)
-
2212-2206 Ur-gigir(ak)
-
2206-2200 Kudda or
Gudea
-
2200-2195 Puzur-ili
-
2195 (?) Lugal-melam (?)
-
2195-2189 Ur-utu(k)
-
2189-2179 Utu-khegal or Utu-khengal
He was a contemporary of Tirigan, the last king of the Guti.
During this period the Gutian or Guti kings flourished as follow:
-
2280-2277 Erridupizir, the first ruler.
-
2277-2274 Imta
-
2274-2268 Inkishush
-
2268-2265 Sarlagab
-
2265-2259 Shulme'
-
2259-2253 Elulmesh or Elulu-mesh
-
2253-2248 Inimabakesh
-
2248-2242 Igeshaush
-
2242-2227 Iarlangab or Iarlagab
-
2227-2224 Ibate
Ibate's name curiously reminds one to Ibates, one of the earliest ancestors in
the Irish and the Scottish pedigrees.
-
2224-2221 Iarlangab
-
2221-2220 Kurum
-
2220-2217 Habil-kin
-
2217-2215 La'erabum
-
2215-2213 Irarum
-
2213-2212 Ibranum
-
2212-2210 Hablum
-
2210-2203 Puzur-sin
-
2203-2196 Iarlaganda
-
2196-2189 Si'u or Si'um
-
2189-2189 Tirigan
Tirigan reigned only for 40 days, according to Jacobsen. His chrononolgical
table (1934: 208 ff.) has placed the accession of Ur-Nammu (Dynasty III of Ur)
ten years after the end of Utu-khegal's reign. His fall may or may not have
coincided with his lost battle against Erech. This famous battle took place on
the day of an
eclipse
of the moon, on the 14th day of the month Duzu or
Tammuz,
from the first
watch to the middle watch. See Schoch (1927: B6-B8), and Thorkild Jacobsen,
The Sumerian King List (Chicago, 1934: 203). This is the first eclipse
record in the Near East that is identifiable with high probability. It took
place on August 13, 2189 BC, with a magnitude of 120% which is remarkable.
After the defeat of Gutium, the Third Dynasty of Ur was fourishing:
-
2179-2161 Ur-Nammu or Ur-Engur
-
2161-2113 Shulgi
A double (solar and lunar) eclipse took place 23 years after Shulgi's accession
to the throne. Prof. Jacob Klein of Bar-Ilan University in his book Three
Sulgi hymns (1981: 59 and 81) tells that the first 23 years of his reign was
peaceful, and that the sun was eclipsed on the horizon, just like the moon on
the sky, during the first battles of Sulgi. (Most historians do not feel
confident about their own astronomical profiency, therefore the extreme
importance of this double eclipse record remained unnoticed. Another difficulty
is that the reading has a questionmark.) Z.A. Simon adds that the lunar eclipse
is mentioned first in the poem, because the worship of
Sin (The moon)
was predominant for them, and that the record is poetic, not that of an
astronomer. This rare phaenomena occurred on May 9, 2138 BCE (solar
eclipse), with a magnitude of 34%. The
lunar eclipse took place on May 24, 2138 BCE.
-
2113-2104 Amar-Sin or Bur-Sin. His viceroy in Assyria was Zariqum.
-
2104-2095 Shu-Sin
An eclipse of the moon observed in the month Simanu (Sivan)
may be placed near the end of Shu-sin's reign, called patricide eclipse in the
literature. The clipse "drew through" and "equalized" the first watch, meaning
that has coincided with it, then touched the second watch. It took place on July
25, 2095 BCE. Refer to Carl Schoch, Die Ur-Finsternis (Berlin, 1927:
B6-B8). Professor Peter J. Huber, Astronomy and Ancient Chronology in the
journal Accadica (Vol. 119-120 deals with this issue about the omen EAE
20-III. We have learned from him that it may have belonged to the death of
Shulgi, or it may have been another king, for the name is not mentioned.
(Therefore, it could have belonged to Shu-sin, we believe, also adding that the
expression will wrong him does not necessarily mean murdering a king. We
note here that the data evaluated by Huber (page 166) "rejects the middle
chronologies on the 1% level... this is a strong argument against the
correctness of the middle chronologies." (Editor's note: those are still in
common use.)
-
2095-2070 Ibbi-Sin
Ibbi-Sin's reign lasted for 24 or 26 years (S. Langdon and John K. Fotheringham,
The Venus tablets of Ammizaduga, 1928). An eclipse of the moon caused
terror shortly before his fall, in the month Addaru or
Adar. The
real eclipse had a magnitude of 153%. (Schoch describes this eclipse as well,
proposing a different candidate.)
A few years before the fall of Ibbi-Sin, another city started to flourish:
Isin. Its first ruler had emerged several years earlier. The kings of Isin are
as follow:
-
2083-2050 Ishbi-erra
-
2050-2040 Shu-ilishu
-
2040-2019 Iddin-dagan
-
2019-2000 Ishme-dagan
-
2000-1989 Lipit-Ishtar
-
1989-1961 Un-ninurta
-
1961-1940 Bur-sin or Amar-sin
-
1940-1935 Lipit-enlil
-
1935-1927 Erra-imitti or Ura-imitti
-
1927-1927 Tabbaya
-
1927-1903 Enlil-bani
-
1903-1900 Zambiya
-
1900-1896 Iter-pisha
-
1896-1892 Ur-dulkugga
-
1892-1881 Sin-magir
-
1881-1858 Damiq-ilishu
The
First Dynasty of Babylon was almost contemporary with Isin. Their chronology
is debated, because there is a King List A and a Babylonian King List B. Hereby
we follow the regnal years of List A, because those are widely used, although we
believe that the other list is better, at least for one or two reigns out of the
first six. (The reigns in List B are longer, in general. Unfortunately, it is
not available for the editor.)
First Babylonian Dynasty:
-
1959-1945 Su-abu or Suum-abum
-
1945-1909 Sumula-ilum
-
1909-1895 Sabium or Sabum
-
1895-1877 Apil-Sin
-
1877-1857 Sin-muballit
-
1857-1814
Hammurabi
His other name was Hammurapi-ilu, meaning Hammurapi the god or perhaps
Hammurapi is god. He could have been
Amraphel
king of Sinear in the Jewish records and the
Bible, a
contemporary of
Abraham.
-
1814-1776 Samsu-ilana
-
1776-1748 Abi-eshuh or Abieshu
-
1748-1711 Ammi-ditana
-
1711-1690 Ammi-zaduga or Ammisaduqa
His Venus-tablets (i.e., several ancient versions on clay tablets) are famous,
and several books had been published about them. Several dates have been offered
but the old dates of many sourcebooks seens to be outdated and incorrect. There
are further difficulties: the 21 years span of the detailed observations of the
planet
Venus may or may not coincide with the reign of this king, because his name
is not mentioned, only the Year of the Golden Throne. A few sources, some
printed almost a century ago, claim that the original text mentions an
occultation of the Venus by the moon. It seems to me a misinterpretation because
the original texts in the book of Erica Reiner and D. Pingree, The Venus
Tablet of Ammisaduqa there is no such sentence. Prof. P.J. Huber's detailed
calculations at this point also prefer 1659 for the fall of Babylon, based on
the statistical probability of dating based on the planet's observations. He
finds the presently accepted middle chronology too low from the astronomical
point of view.
-
1690-1659 Samsu-ditana
A text about the fall of Babylon by the
Hittites
of Mursilis I at the end of Samsuditana's reign tells about a twin eclipse is
crucial for a correct Babylonian chronology. (The reading of the word Babylon
is uncertain but why should a Babylonian tablet refer to another city?). The
pair of lunar and solar eclipses occurred in the month Shimanu (Sivan).
Professor Peter J. Huber has computed several options that would satisfy the
conditions of the detailed description. The lunar eclipse took place on February
9, 1659 BCE. It started at 4:43 and ended at 6:47. The latter was invisible
which safisfies the record which tells that the setting moon was still eclipsed.
The solar eclipse occurred on February 23, 1659. It started at 10:26, has its
maximum at 11:45, and ended at 13:04. See Peter Huber, Astronomical dating of
Babylon I and Ur III in Monographic Journals of the Near East (1982:
41).
The
Assyrian kings of this period are as follow:
-
Zuabu
-
Nuabu, son of Zuabu
-
Abazu, viceroy of Manishtusu of Akkad, son of Nuabu, died c. 2330
-
Belu or Tillu, son of Abazu, died c. 2309

The Primogenitors
Biblical Egyptian Sumerian
Jehovahns
The relation of the archaic Sumerians ca the 4th
millennium BC to the lineage of Adam and Eve in the same area north of
the Persian Gulf and then-concurrent development of civilization in
Egypt ... cross-referencing their patriarch-gods and document records
...
"Before Abraham was, I am-- [relating]." (JOHN 8:58)
|
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:--
The recounting of geneologies is of little
importance to mankind, -of interest to get a perspective of the Biblical span,
and no more;- the seven days of creation are typical-day-types in an early
sequential redaction of the development of this planet by major improvements;
yet, there is a fundamental importance to living the practicable
possible Christ before Abraham was-- I am, the primogenitor...
That Adam lived 930 years is accurate enough to tell us that he was
different-- that there is a longevity possible:
The Bible is a reconstruction of records,
-translations, correlations-... Discrepancies therein have been resolved many
times over thousands of years: not all the translations were done by modern
scholars: It takes some understanding of what they were talking-about, as it
also took of the scholars who translated and the scribes who recorded it ages
ago. Times and dates given by project 'lambhorn' are goods of the mathematics
and sciences: we estimate
3670 BC as the
beginning-of or early-about Adam's timeline as aligns
well with subsequent astronomical events as makes it more cogent ...
The Jewish calendar by scholars who've worked through the same Bible
wording and compared original manuscripts, puts the first date as 3761 BCE,
But reference bases are not always certain (cf the 430 years of the
children of Israel in Egypt are unscheduled and list about three persons) and
for individuals first and last years recounted are usually not full
years, ages were not all determined from birth-months not all
listed, calendar years were not all the same count of days, thus
allowing -1-3 years overage-variance, each, possibly
cumulative-averaging months or years per step through the geneology....
Project 'lambhorn' articles, put Jehovah, Adam, and Eve, at the Pison river
north bend (today's Wadi Batin) northwest of the Persian Gulf; And
Cain, in the land of Nod, east of the river confluence as close as the
Euphrates marshland;-- So, till Noah's flood in that region, Sumer was the mixed
lineage-deltages of Adam and Cain plus the local mankind settled there, and
mercantile travelers ... where Adam and Eve started, and the children of Noah
restarted: on the eastern Arabian steppe: in the land of
Shinar
(Shingar) Kienger, Shumeru Sumer-- today's Babylon: The
Sumerian word, Edin Eden, meant fertile plain, and derived from the
local Akkadian-Ubaidan centuries older
(in whose days it wasn't
desert).
Archaeologists, have dated the Sumerians to ca 3100 BC, amid the
era of Bible name parallels in Seth's and Cain's lineages before the flood.
The Sumerians exhibited characteristics suggesting possibly direct
knowledge of a Jehovahn-smart mindset like Cain's: Sumerians were city-builders,
and brought or invented a clay-pictographic language evidently superior to
Akkadian cuneiform that succeeded it through the flood a half millennium later,
and by which scholars reconstructed it.... The Bible indicates two kinds of
persons mixing in the region: The sons of God, may have been educators wiving
the daughters of men and probably-therefor teaching the sons of men, 'paid' ...
But which raises a point:--
Cuneiform would have been a lot of work, for intelligent
spacer-origin society ... And no-joke-intended, saying, spacer-origin: Their
-(known)- speech didn't use voicing for letters, b, d, g, but unaspiration
[SIC], the constriction at the vocal chords, compared to p, t, k, the
constriction at each consonant itself-- i.e. clearly heard in a
whisper, that meant its origin was indoor or with near-absolute
intolerance of loud sound ... (This also raises question by-inference
whether they used visual-assistance handsignage in speaking:
which
subject is presently
in-development.)
By making cuneiform so simple yet tedious the sons of God
kept the sons of men relegated to gradually learning uniformity: It was the
planet-of-the-mankind, for spacers, But there is the possibility that
cuneiform was a Jehovahn spacer font, approximated by their clay-writing
implements: Though called 'wedge', it is apparently tailed-triangular, which
allows point, line, angle, staple, trigon, whole ...at least a font subset...
something for scholars to research,- for though Adam began without
highly technical support, he had centuries of upbringing, and
technical evidences may have reappeared at times....
Also, Sumerian is deemed a language isolate and themselves untraceable, yet
they were prolific builders -indoorsians-... Whence we infer, Sumerians included
Adam's deltage, and maybe other or later siblings;- And, being 'dumped' on
Earth, they did just as they were given-to:- Given their spacer education, given
their high technology, to being replaced by clay ... they made-fun, building
Earth with a future-now, high-technology... till their attitude became
recalcitrant, contentious, unruly, wicked, wild, evil, mad (which sounds like
the Cain-justice scenario).
Further distinction may also be drawn that the sons of God were nine
generations all alive together, Adam to Lamech, (plus any Jehovahns: ten
generations) while the sons of men were the shorter-lived mankind made in the
same image and likeness of Adam's lineage.... The later senior Jehovahn decision
or prediction in flooding the land, assuming Noah was directly told and didn't
just figure it on Godly interpretation of the night sky, and shiftings of the
southern monsoon, is one of the strong teachings in the Bible that the Godly are
not to defile themselves in speech and action;- that death is not the
end of sin but severest punishment ... Jehovahn concepts of life seem
less-than-absolutely concerned for the life of mankind: as though mortality were
a phase of living thought, high tech in low gear; though in subsequent
centuries they did use softer approach e.g. confounding the language
of the people gathered at the Babel tower construction job
site.
Additional traces on Cain's deltage suggest a perpetuation of violence
e.g. Lamech's inditement for seventy-sevenfold of Cain's avengeance;
and wandering albeit Cain settled long enough to start cities named, Enoch: Cain
may have followed the Gihon (Karun) river up the ridge, and the
foothills along the Persian Gulf east, starting cities in Elam,
western Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India... Indian history was not prominent
in that era but Indian scholars suggest connections with a
"blackheaded" Dravidian people, settling Sumer,- whom Sumerian records identify
as ordinary humans ruled by the 'gods',-- who could have been imported
by Cain's people returning to Edin and adopting local language words,--
implicating this was subordination of the indigenous Akkadian-Ubaidans,
by newer, educated, 'Sumerians', under Cain's governorship.
(Note that in the sense of wanderer, Cain was also living-out his concept of
spacer-living wandering the cosmos: It was almost regressive.)
And further parallels appear in the same area, the same era,- such as the
introduction of breeding woolly sheep, Sumerian names for rivers, Idiqlat, being
the Hiddekel now known as Tigris, Purattu the Euphrates, the Pison,
now known as Wadi Batin on the east, Wadi Rimah to the west,
coming out of Eden in the Genesis account, or some scholars say,
springs out, which may indicate its appearance by subterranean or sub-dune
passage and thence passing the garden it also waters, and from there becomes
into [in-to] four heads, The rivers listed, the Pison first in
deference to its significance, and the others from the other direction, Gihon,
Hiddekel [Tigris], Euphrates, indicating a righthand-dawn first
perspective from somewhere south, Ur, Eridu, Egypt ... And ... monumental
stepped pyramids in Egypt similar to Ziggurats in Sumer....
N.B. The concept of one God was never jeopardized by the Jehovahns, by their
sons and daughters, by gods plural synonymous with the sons and
daughters of God, though as strange as myths in literature, but by false
emphases on lineage and worship of animality and matter as their hierarchy as it
were something to pass down, -by mystifying reality;- whence the worship of one
incorporeal-God-Principle became necessary for the saving of mankind,-
though still fraught with misunderstanding nations, religions, denominations,
and kinds of man and gods....
ANSWER EXTENDED: The early Sumerian and-contemporary
Egyptian records reported most significantly on the first-sons, of the gods:--
EXEGESIS AND EXPOSITION:--
GODS, OR MEN:
The distinction, in meaning sons of God, or of men, is best hinted in
Egyptian references to First Dynasty king Menes, or Narmer, known as the first,
mortal, king of Egypt, -first though following several Abydos-region kings since
Iry-Hor, Sekhen, and before them name-references back to Ny-Hor, Hathor, etc:-
For nine centuries Adam and his sons were nominally immortal, -living,
traveling,- though killable as Abel and whence they could be angry sons as
became the 'myth' gods of later Akkadia, Babylonia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and
worldwide, China, America, etc....
Nevertheless, the gods did call themselves, men man,
at first-- as that was what they knew of their existence and purpose: They were
the 'min' the precious-seed (Egypt.), the 'mene' the many by careful-count
(Heb.). Only much later, centuries later, was mankind, more-pretty, like 'men'.
THE EGYPTIAN VERSION:
The Egyptian references are important, because Menes/Men Hor-Aha (fighting
hawk; Horus protects) started this dynasty in the same era as Sumer began, just
after upper and lower Egypt were unified under Horus first god-king in Egypt,
a century after his father king-god Osiris was funeralized
by uncle god Seth, Osiris' younger brother and usurper. Both civilizations
developed clay-writing, and the next dynasty recorded an eighty-year raging
dispute between Horus and Seth ... this is a side of Adam's story the Bible does
not tell directly:-- Horus was the later inline son of Seth's older brother
Biblical Cain who after marrying their elder sister, took his family wandering,
beyond the land of Nod, south-west to Egypt, becoming king WSR Osiris
eventually venturing out to transform the world, leaving his wife
god-in-charge in Egypt.... Seth married their younger sister, but,
though at first amiable with Cain Osiris, he was childless and eventually
hatched a plot to improve themselves and avenge Abel whom the Egyptians did not
know in person but by a hint Apep Apophis, as a
god-memory haunting Cain, till Seth ultimately took Cain to task and murder ...
Some Egyptians mistook Horus as Adam Geb's second son and Seth third:
equating them as brothers instead of nephew and uncle;
Others labeled Horus, 'the son of Ra', as he was Osiris Cain's wife's
first inline in Ra's lineage; -historical parallax not far from fact;- However,
Horus-the-Elder, Heru-Ur, was not well-known but as one who
perpetually bates Apep the snake:- thus associating the two in deadly battle -as
Cain slew Abel;- But also this elder was nightblind eyeless and so, in multiple
pun, could not travel, had no wife at night that "Eye-of" meant in
Egyptian slang, -wife 'Hathor' was Isis, as Cain took the sister,- There were no
stories of him but referential, he was revered as elder yet younger than Osiris,
And even Biblically, Eve's Seth, was touted as his, -Abel's,- replacement. (And
momentarily we'll detect Osiris' actual, entangling usage of this
placeholder-identity as his own alter-ego in Sumeria: to obliterate
Abel forever.)
(Note. Hebrew translation gives Nod/Nwd, the meaning, exile-flight, but which
may have been contextually assumptive, comparative to nos ... However, the
Sumerian indicates, Nwd Nud, meant to lie down in the sense of weary, probably
disheveled stony laid land adjacent to Edin,-- from-which Cain then
made stone houses... possibly as far east as the foothills of the
Persian range, where large boulders tumbled down....)
CAIN'S ANCESTRY:
Put outside the Adamic reference, to wander, Cain and his wife took
to the wider world, close knowledge of the sons and daughters of God as gods
themselves by their personal names, from their grandfather Shw whom
the Hebrews called, Yahweh, of the Genesis garden, -though that, would have been
his twin sister-wife Tefnuit if centuries-old grandmother was even
distinguishable from grandfather,- on down... and added his own children,
consistent with Cain's early childhood as first grandson: Cain Osiris married
sister Isis, Adam's first daughter, (as Adam married his own sister
Eve); Seth got second-daughter sister Nephthys.... Cain knew
his great-grandfather Amun Ra, his wife Amaunet
Iusaaset known also as his shadow, Khaibit, (family humor on Ra's fame as
sun-god), also his greatest-grandparents Ptah and his consort Sekhmet,
plus Ra's Council of ancestors, gods
described as the dark infinite invisible dissolution of space, depicted
as watertable frogs Heh and wife Hauhet and snakes Kek and wife Kauket
... But, the Biblical record starts with only Lord Shw Yahweh ...
Note it is conceivable that the very-very-older gods were
smaller, shrunken, wrinkly, and mostly lounged their centuries by
rivers on Earth,-- hence, frogs, snakes, in allusion....
(Note, Extrabiblical
Hebrew-Jewish records identify Adam's two daughters as sister-wives Awan and
Azura, -or other,- and list all their years....
These records also indicate that Adam and Eve themselves were not-born
in the garden of Eden, but brought-there at 40-and-80-days ... yet ...
beware that the depiction given of the earliest years reads somewhat desultorily
and the seven days of the week seem more like seven years.)
THE INBRED TWINS, PARADOX:
Both Egyptian and Sumerian records, usually list twins
born among the gods:- Tefnuit's twin brother would have been Tefen,
but, Shw replaced Tefen at some point and Tefen was no longer mentioned, Yet,
Shw was also, Tefnuit's twin, or he was Tefen himself after a renaming event,
or, Shw and Tefen were near-identical twins:-- single-lineage inbreeding yields
progressively-nearer twins by loss of genetic diversity till male and female are
otherwise indistinguishable ... whence Ptah reputedly living 9000
years would have looked identical to Ra in his future age if Ra did
not pass early; and Tefen, Tefnuit, Shw, were Ra's near-identical
sub-twins but some millennia younger not seen as sub-twin by
Earthers... and once on Earth, the abundant varieties of food and atomic nuclear
chemistry altered that. This sort of exception recurring makes reading history
probable and iffy and revisable: Adam may have been the son of Tefen, resurnamed
son of Shw; Tefnuit may have been sister Shwh, known in Egypt by title Tef-nuit
Chwh-nuit, Eve-nuit, mother of Nuit; Biblical Jehovah Yhwh
was Shw or his wife; Cain 40 and Abel 32 were
near-identical twins of minorly different years; Isis
203 and Nephthys 146 were dressup-substitutable... and history
may have an unexpectedly new future....
(Note, the Egyptian record lists four pairs
of copredecessors with Ptah:-- a few pairs per two millennia exhibit
myriadal natural-life longevity;
Ra Amun
"the hidden god" lived and ruled 7000 years before
arriving on Earth, then ruled 1000 on, Earth, as Ra Atem. But, born ca
Ptah's 2000th, after two interstitial male ancestors each
666~years apart, implies nine generations in lineage were dropped
between Ra and Shw: Significant events at the end of millions of years
of space-travel ... possibly some were deposited earlier
on planets at suns before our own, maybe alone.)
(Note that Ptah, said-to-be self-begotten, may have
transferred title to his first-son and subsequent generations shifted
titles till Shw ... Ptah was known for creating children by thought,
-by thorough planning:- He named them and plotted their destinies long before he
had them, and passed this information to Ra; Over 9000 years of pre-observing
our Earth and solar system by telescope foreseeing their destination and future
before they arrived, Ptah had generated his precursor of a preplanned
'zodiac', but which information remained primarily within his first-lineage
family.)
(Note bioscience, assumes that inbred twins do not produce
clone-exact copies, due to molecular rebounding in identical-chromosome pairs.)
A TALE OF TWO FAMILIES THE SAME IN TWO PLACES:
While it is not directly certain whether a fuller
name, Shw-Ah, was rendered as, Yahweh Jehovah, Or, just his given,
Shw, --superenunciated,-- 'Shuve' Yhwh Jove cf Geo Jew Chw Zeus Deus
Tues, worldwide supreme lord-god-and-father over Earth, Jehovah grandparented
Adam and Eve's family in which came three sons, Cain the gardener,
Abel the shepherd early slain by Cain, and Seth, -who, two, married but their
wives unidentified in the Bible;- And the Egyptians, parallel, with
Shw grandparenting the family of son Geb and daughter Nuit and their
sons, Osiris god of heaven-signs and cultivation, unknown Elder-Horus (vs.
Apophis, haunting Cain, who apparently talked about Abel, not full disclosure),
and Seth, Plus their two daughters sister-wives, Isis Iset (may be 'IShHt woman
wife consort) and Nephthys Nebt-het ('daughter of the house').
The active Egyptian gods generally used titles
instead of names, once their family operation got started; There are some
telling exceptions....
Millennia-later Egyptians revised such working knowledge of the gods,
refining the notion to One God-Family, but very like their early models:
Invisible Amun, Mut, Khonsu, became the primary god triunity natures, but still
relied on personal identification (in general all god-names were
associative-revisionist-identifications not always the names used by the persons
themselves; and later generations played mix-and-match) ... Yet,
notable details remain: Khonshu, meant wanderer, when khan lord Shw/Yhw left;
Amun Ra became top-god Atem Tem T'amu, when Ptah left;
Mut became top-goddess
T'Mut Tiamut, over in Sumeria, when a to-be-identified senior female,
probably Ptah-tanen T'Nun's Naunet, left, And Mut remarried her sisterless son
Shw who became 'the contented father' Abba-Shw Apsu
of Enuma Elish fame, our prototypical Jehovah.
(Similar 'spiritual' notions exhibited in early-pre-'christian'-un-jew
theology, as father Adam, son Cain, holy ghost Abel, adversarial satan Seth.)
(Note that Amun's wife Amaunet Mut's name may have
actually been 'Amut', whence the Sumerian, Ti-Amut with the syllabic 'a', was
real exact.)
(Note the titular, Khonsu Khonshu,
Kh'An-Shw THE-Lord-Shw, hints that Amun Ra was so-old he didn't expect to remain
millennia in rulership.)
But also, Egyptian records tend variously to the
Sumerian, as the gods were known more seniorly, visiting
gold-gatherers later city-developers along their longer river; and as
god-populations increased they became individually diversified finely refined,
making them indistinguishable to all-but-a-native... We'll, estimate their name
conventions to their character uniqueness and family structures; Historic
Egyptians themselves, as well as Moses' scribes, and ancient and
modern archaeologists, have attempted reconstructions such as we'll try anew:--
THE ANUBIAN DILEMMA, ENOCH THE FIRST:
As the story developed -in the Egyptian- it was apparent
that Seth or Setekh, third son of Adam Geb and Eve Nuit, was out to improve his
lot even if at the expense of first son Cain Osiris... Having no children for
lineage rights by sister-wife Nephthys, (nor later with consorts Taweret,
Ishtarte, Inat), -nor yet had Cain Osiris by his, wife Isis:- Nephthys went to
Osiris, disguised as Isis, --(in Hebrew folklore
this would have been demon Lilith though who was attributed as Adam's
wife before Eve though perhap Nephthys had tried Adam too),-- and she seduced
Cain to impregnate her:- Her child Anubis Ienpw (meaning
sickly-putrid; he despised men), is in Sumerian references lord Anu,
Enos of the highland-heaven, first king, -Anu, in the Akkadian;
Anos, in the Babylonian; Ouranos/Ur-Anus, in the Greek and
so on globally-... He grew up as a loner the shared,-loaner, the
product of two families, four parents, everybody's same child, everybody owned
him: 'the offspring', the only next god-- and at first lived with Isis in Egypt,
and Nephthys attended assisting with 'the sick baby'. In title he was, Enoch, a
next-first lord-chief, and Cain Osiris built cities named after him, a
century after Cain's days in Sumer, possibly Nekhen and Nekheb situated
oppositely on the Nile....
(Sumerian name, Lilith, was
anciently interpreted, female demon, but Egyptian Lil-heth,
reads more as air-of-the-house: a close fragrance as of flirting ...
a first-century-AD biographer found that Osiris had dropped
a Melilot garland in departing his tryst with Nephthys:- possibly the
source for the attributed names, Lilith, and subsequent Mualaleth....
In Hebrew lore, Adam deflected wife Lilith over protocol,- but that may have
been a later misassumption upon his transition to sister-wife Eve, at age 65....
The Second Book of Adam and Eve identifies Awan Isis as
Luluwa; the linguistical L-Lu-affinity and nasal-assumption applied to L'L-Awan....
Lilith was commonly a demon that steals babies probably due to Luluwa.)
(The Egyptian pronunciation of,
Ienpw, is about 'Yenophu', the p sounding
open-tip-oph; cf the Egyptian star Spdt, is
Greek Sothis pronounced about, 'Sophdth';
cf also Mesopotamian Purattu Prtth, is Greek Euphrates pronounced
about
'oPhratth'... the gods were indeed of one
tongue.)
But Anubis Anup didn't have a twin sister in Egypt,-- a
terrible prospect, for Anubis, as for all four parents, Cain Osiris, Nephthys,
Isis, Seth, and grandparents Adam Geb and Eve Nuit, and
great-grandparents Shw, Mut, and great-great-granddad Ra... Seth had
to table his plot to kill Cain Osiris outright for lineage rights,
till Enoch Enos got children of his own, -somebody to carry-on the
godhead:- The family began calling upon the name of the Lord of-gods:
Where, was god Enos going to get a wife?!-- This was a turning point
in the gods' history: after 9000 years planning.
(Note. Sumerian records
indicate Anshar An-Sar, high-plenty, then, Anu An-U
Lord-of-heavens Enos-- whom men began to call-upon by name, Lord An:-- not
Jehovah/Yhwh Shw Lord for Adam and Eve; nor Seth himself Enos' father under
their lineage-law.... And as, Anshar, sounds like Egyptian,
WSR, pronounced 'oongsher', it may be that Cain Wsr Osiris was
visiting Sumeria, But which was much-later, in the time of both Anu and his son
En-Ki Lord of the Earth, when Shw was Apshw Apsu long-no longer
Khonshu.... Note also the Biblical name-version, Enos, Enosh, may have
intentionally recorded his father Cain's, name, Osiris Wsr,
shortened to, Ws:-- En-Ws lord-(of)-Ws ... as Cain was great
Ws-(of)-aR.)
(Subnote the similarity in these titular, Angshar,
WngShaR, may indicate the similar was used by both, Cain
Osiris in Egypt, and Seth in Sumer.)
And, how he got sent east to the Edin
mountain-heaven, is quite a story ... a very different story ... that fits only
after detangling the real, Enoch--
THE BILATERAL IDENTITY SPLIT HEIR-- IN AN
OTHERWISE VERY LONG AND NARROW LINE:
The Egyptians had two, Anubis', one by
Ra, one by Osiris, one by Seth; and of three, all by Nephthys, one or two are
a redoublement; Anubis, Osiris Cain's Biblical first-son Enoch, was
'god of the dead', when the only dead was Abel, and he lived in Egypt 39 years
before they figured out who had sired him legally conclusively, and removed
him--
The god family was ruled by their inbred lineage system. They
had a purpose distinct from anything mankind has known but by fables such as
we'll review later for corroborative content. Briefly, they sought immortality
in propagating family and maintaining their oldest genetics, -(it was the way
they spent millions of years before arriving on Earth):- Their lineage children
came 8-years apart beginning at the fathers' age 65 and first by
the seniors in order: The rule was simply-- parents in-lineage, sire in-lineage,
the child firstborn of the mother ... the seniors 'prevented' the husband in
maintaining their oldest genetics, then let the husband to be fruitful and
multiply.... Ra, Shw, and brother-not-first-lineage
Thoth, being seniors to Adam; Ra had sired Cain, Shw sired Abel, but needing a
sister for Cain, Ra ordered Thoth to sire to get first daughter Awan
Isis ... and decades later, Adam sired Seth and in first-lineage,
Azura Nephthys; The odd inclusion of Thoth suggests he was ranked
closer to first-lineage than merely second, --possibly close as a birth-twin to
Shw,-- though the distinction still resulted in second-lineage Abel believing
second-lineage Awan was to be his; (Biblically, Jehovah/Yhwh
Shw had favored Abel, his-sired grandson, only to be the tender of the
sheep).
(And forenote that they also finely-adjusted the
birthing schedule by the daughter-sister-wife-mother's sibling-rank, about a
year per rank step, and probably also by the sire's rank with still finer single
moon offsets for further exaction but only for exclusivity at less than ten
months apart.)
(Note our estimated
8-year-sibling-separation, is 4-10 by Jubilees span for Cain, Abel, Awan, born
in successive 7-year 'weeks'; 6-9 years as Cain was born 'midweek' by 2 years ca
Adam's 65th; 8 years in Methuselah getting Lamech in his 187th 8-shy of 195; and
dependent on what senior-fill should accomplish ... Seth's 3-10 years marriage
before getting Enos; Enos' 10-16 years marriage twice-5-8 before getting Cainan;
and their sevenfold rule of vengeance in a case of murder being 1+7=8
family deletions an entire continguous group of eight senior sires, even
possibly explaining the gap of nine in Ra's senior lineage if the first senior
of that nine had been murdered by the second ... and, if 8-years
was deterministic, it was 100 moons, synodic months, about 8.1 years, 8.33
'years' in its corresponding lunar calendar and 66.66 'years' over eight
generations divided 8-times: a new baby every year to gradually fill-in the
schedule eventually becoming a lineage-phalanx where according to Abraham his
seed would count as grains of sand large in number and packed tight
gods-by-number-and-name ... the 65-year estimate
is from examples, 130-year double-examples, Jubilees' 196-year
triple-example for Cain begetting Enoch; and in fact Jubilees'
364-day-calendar 65-'years' is the best-match at 64.9-'years'
near-real-years, for 8×100-moons, -virtually proving the whole case:-
its cumulative mismatch drifting a 'year'-per-666, 1-per-665 Jubilees',
1-per-203 real-years,-- which error the Book of Enoch using the same
364-day-year blames on "sinners"-- which, we may additionally note the
origin of the word, sin, was, Sin the moon-god, so, "sinners" were 'Sin'ners
because they were 'moon'ers.)
(Subnote that Jubilees' 364-day-year calendar,
may have, had, a source-correction 'realizer' dropping 1.2 intercalated moons
per generation.)
(Subnote, Jubilees' record
on the birth of Adam and Eve seems duplicitous wherein they were born two years
before the chronology began, but which may be a few days difference
between their primordial exact lunar-month calendar and their jubilee-year
calendar from their arrival date.)
(It may be that each god calculated lineage
time on his own calendar schema, which would then change primacy at next-top-god
epochs, and Ra chose the solar year approximation, for where living in the
temperate zone close enough to the planet equator minimized seasonal effects
against Ptah's preplanned planetary-alignment-'zodiac'-scheduling.)
So Ra, not Cain Osiris, sired Anubis Enoch
and put him in first-son Cain's family. But there's a catch in this explanation,
involving Cain and Isis:
(Note that phraseology alone could intend that Ra was
senior-father at Anubis' birth, but the records are certain -and fit- that he
had sired; And senior-sire order maximized genetic recycling
on a multisample-crossbreeding grid minimizing any decline to a
manageably recoverable rate and timeframe while keeping the longest-lived most
inbred, up front, in first lineage, gleaning-and-culling for the genetic subset
of immortality-- from which they should extract the genetic-master
race whose members lived 9000 years and retired not died, not imagined floating
west in a Tuat and north with hearts as light as a feather, but living as long
as the planet and the sun itself, across the galaxy, across the universe....)
It was Cain's 130's decade, in which to father-sire with
his first-lineage sister-wife, (compare Adam sired with Eve first in his 130th)
... but who was not Awan Isis 3rd-sibling, second-lineage, but Azura Nephthys
10th-sibling, in the next generation, But, were she his wife before marrying
Seth, he'd old-father-sire with her a generation later in his 196th, 187th+9,
six decades after Ra sired with her in his 139th. And yet Osiris was not
recorded as siring with Nephthys off-schedule, but that she had sneakily
substituted for Isis, And Ra sired with her in Cain's 131st as if she were
2nd-sibling in Seth's generation: and, married to Seth ... So, something was
amiss in Egypt and Nephthys' sneak was another thing than reported in the
Egyptian record.... By Council rule Anubis was sired by Ra not Cain Osiris but
put in his family; and that complaint of Nephthys' trick was only quaint story:
Awan Isis and Azura Nephthys would not have mothered a lineage child in the same
year and month, (The Egyptian records also
noted that Nephthys abandoned the child, But yet Isis too left her own child in
the swamp while running errands in nearby villages; allowing either, as mother,
and Nephthys took responsibility afterward; a question more of appearances which
leaves open the possibility that Isis collaborated with Nephthys to sneakily get
Isis a first-lineage child the next year in Osiris' 132nd, year 197....)
(Ra may have sired 8-years early with Nephthys on
the clever assumption that he was older than most-senior-sire Shw who should
most-senior-sire in Cain's 139th, 130+9; or, implemented a rule that Nephthys
was first in her own generation as the only-sired;- scheduling difficulty like
that Ra had experienced with sisterless Shw ... But by jumping himself in at
Cain Osiris' 131st, Ra may have set the pace for Cain later siring early.)
('Old-father-siring' with a
next-generation-2nd-rank wife was not an actual order but in its equivalence to
grandfather-siring with a 10th-rank wife e.g. 3×65 +1 = 187 +9; so, possibly
probably Ra whose seniority position was not sliding till the senior-siring gap
should be refilled, was okay.)
Anubis-the-first Enoch was born in Adam's 196th year (says
extrabiblical Hebrew-Jewish record The Book of Jubilees; Also note, The Book of
Jasher calls him, "Enoch the son of Seth"), -but
of Ra and Nephthys- and 39 years he lived not in Edin with Seth
but in Egypt with Cain and Isis, because Cain was in-lineage and got
the first child when in-lineage mother Nephthys was ca age 57
and Cain 130, (per Jubilees),- as was her time to bear a first-lineage
child ... Cain was still in-lineage in-family, just living in Egypt instead of
Edin where he was forbidden by Jehovah for having murdered Abel a century before
... And Anubis was under the care of his two mothers, Nephthys and
-stepmother- Isis... But Shw wasn't siring in Cain's
lineage, so, Anubis was called home, to Edin, because he was first-lineage and
supposed to live eastward and Cain wasn't his sire, and Ra was convinced he was
in Seth's lineage despite Cain's permanent vacation, and, he needed a
first-lineage wife sired by Shw and his mother Nephthys who belonged home in
Edin, and being 'god of the dead' was not-all-that-important... And
Anubis Enoch fumed, He made the worst stink imaginable, He claimed sick-out,
He painted his head red (Ra's was blue),-- he despised the old gods,
for their lineage system, men (the gods called themselves before mankind-became
more than talking animals) ... and went home to Edin, --Enos Anu-- moved east
and up-the-mountain, and sat up there and watched everybody below crawling like
ants: He was First Watcher in the east, and god of the mountain-sky heavens; He
bred bulls like in Egypt, and got used to being first-son of his estranged
father; and began to laugh at having two mothers, two lands, two names, two
beginnings like two births, reregistered as Seth's Enos in Adam's
235th (more precisely started ruling in the 235th), and soon-- he'd
have two, first,-sons....
(That, Enos began in the 235th rather than 236th, is
just possibly their year-registration, or, possibly Council's indication that it
was not by birth, needing as-it-were father but no generational mother for his
second-first-lineage beginning, in Sumer....
Cain's family had started officially late, one
65-year cycle, having waited for generation-younger Nephthys who was not sired
on senior schedule but father-sired in the next.)
(Note the 39-years-not-knowing
was longish by Ra and Shw arguing whether Cain had actually killed Abel, or
could not account for Abel, and, Shw's certainty he did, and their desire to
stay-the-course on lineage despite Abel's death, as that was the purpose of
senior-sires, and, Shw decreed that Cain owed him one son,
and they locked on whose-first son that would be... Council
would have their final decision when Anubis was 39, but
which only accentuated Cain's trouble in getting senior-sired children ...
family-lineage-schedule-rules had to be followed too, and
Council decided Cain's firstborn be his restitution not-direct-replacement for
Adam's dead second, Abel, in Shw's line fathered through Seth.)
(Note. Seth taking his wife's son Enos, and
carrying-on for Cain, and Abel, set the Hebrew tradition famous even for
Christ Jesus' parentage.)
But to detangle all this and
explain the wait of 39 years, we check their senior-siring-rule order: Ra had
sired first in Cain's generation, so, Shw would sire-first next, But the next
generation was not, Cain's family, --Ra did not sire for Cain, in Cain's 65th
year, because Cain's wife Isis was second-lineage, (murder aside, there were
lineage-rules to follow),-- but Seth's generation, family ...
In Seth's 66th year Ra sired with Nephthys Azura though she had not yet married
(says Jubilees; so something was amiss) and would soon enough marry Seth; Ra,
sired first Anubis and put him in Cain Osiris' lineage, (they were all
four first-lineage), But -here we deduce,- Shw refused to sire next,
He did not have to sire any: He had lost Abel and sent Cain away
east ca age 40, and received in-return Anubis east ca age 40 ... and Thoth
deferred, superseded by Adam.
(That, Nephthys Azura was not yet married, may have made it easier
for Ra to sire early: as she did not yet belong to any husband's schedule.)
Ra wanted to fill lineage as quickly as possible
and, with the murder of Abel, saw that as requiring himself to sire again; Ra
wanted Shw to sire Anubis' first-sister, but Shw refused to jeopardize another
child under backup-less Cain but rather took Cain's Anubis as replacement for
Abel: Anubis was reassigned and transferred to Shw, given the Iranian plateau
beyond Edin, but no longer in the main lineage;- Nephthys Azura then mothered a
second child with Osiris Cain senior at 196 years (or 188 but who
too young to marry at barely 7 years in this generation, waited to be stuffed,
in the next).... Ra was keeping himself, Shw, and Thoth, at the head of the
senior-sires queue while moving new first-lineage seniors Adam, Cain, Seth, in
to fill the prior missing-seniors gap-- so all Ra's sired were on his primordial
65-year-cycle senior-sire schedule calendar.
(Yet note, there is still the odd hint that Adam did
not sire with Lilith, Nephthys Azura, for her position above him in birth-order
sired by himself in lower senior-order, Yet Lilith might have been Luluwa, Isis
Awan, he avoided; And, it was not impossible that Shw could sire a sister for
Anubis, but the Egyptians have no such record, for a sister within 8-years of
Anubis, nor by senior Thoth 16-years after, nor brothers, within the
39 years Anubis lived in Egypt with Osiris and Isis; nor by Geb,
later, in Egypt ... It's our best estimate, given the paucity of information on
a sister-wife for Anubis, even Anu in Sumer, that she was born long-after Anubis
left Egypt,- And it would have been said that he'd married a foreign-born wife.)
And here we see the beginning of dual-first-lineages: the
earthly-first lineage, of Adam, distinct and second to the primordial-first
lineage of Ra, though actually sired by Ra, moved from Egypt to Sumer at Anubis'
age 40 years, Anu Enos' 1st ... rather than the usual 40 days for baby
boys.
N.B. Ra sired Enoch firstborn in
first-lineage Cain's family; Ra sired Enos firstborn in first-lineage Azura
Nephthys' family; Cain and Azura were brother and sister, father and mother but
unmarried; there was one firstborn daughter who married Enoch and Enos; there
are no indications of either being replaced, or dying, but definite indication
that one moved from Egypt to become 'Watcher in the east' ... and
hence one same son. (Note Anubis' title, 'god of the dead', cannot
mean he died, because centuries later Isis summoned him and his hunting jackal
to find a body....)
SHW'S TAKE ON CAIN'S ENOCH VERSUS SETH'S ENOCH ENOS,
-OR- WHAT WE'D HAVE EXPECTED DIFFERENT:
The Biblical record and Hebrew pseudepigrapha would have
us believe that Cain was outcast and uninvolved with Seth's line but using
similar baby names... A better alternative is that Cain and Seth proceeded on
their course, Shw notwithstanding, but that was modified along the way,
particularly in that lineage order was revised by Council to repack the
senior-siring schedule to take up the slack in the missing-seniors gap ...
There are, ways, to fit this puzzle: Cain and
Seth were siring lines in a different order on 130-years, for Cain was outcast
and Seth was father-sired ... Cain would sire his Enoch in the 197th but Ra did
in the 196th; Seth would sire or Adam or Shw surrogate-sire, his Enos in the
261st, but who appears 26 years earlier and we understand was Cain's Enoch moved
39 years later ... Cain's Enoch would sire Cainan in the 326th and may have as
appeared in Seth's Enos' 90th instead of 91st, but the Bible says it was Irad
who appears Jared later in Seth's line ... Seth's Enos would sire Mahalaleel in
the 395th, nudged 5-years for the wife's rank in Seth's line, which fits and the
Sumerian perception agrees, Ellil Mahalaleel was Anu Enos' true-first son ...
and Cain's Enoch's Cainan would sire Irad, Mahalaleel's Jared in the 460th
also-nudged 5-years in Seth's line, which fits and the Sumerian agrees, Cainan
Enki fathered Mered Marduk... But that coincidence of Cain's Enoch and
Seth's Enos must imply some re-coordination making two be one, But then that
doesn't fit unless Enoch also sired as Enos and kept secret in Sumer what he'd
actually done... and which may also, fit ... But those fine
one-year-discrepancies still have us pondering about Anubis' mother-consort, or,
about the alignment of their calendars, their lunar-months, solar-days, and
solar-years, calendars ... (which we may ultimately align to the day).
Cain would have father-sired in his 132nd with wife Awan Isis
2-years-offset for her sibling-rank as 3rd child of Adam, But Ra preempted him a
year in Cain's 131st in 196 with Azura Nephthys
1-year-offset for her sibling-rank as 2nd in Seth's generation (but which was
10th to Cain's: Ra knowingly sired with Nephthys in Seth's generation, not
Cain's; but she was not married to Cain, so it was proper) ... and the
son was moved to Seth's family 39 years later, in 235, setting the new offsets
for Cain and Seth senior-siring ... But ... Cain had not yet senior-sired, and
Seth had not yet father-sired; Cain would senior-sire next as grandfather in his
196th-or-188th with Nephthys, and Seth would father-sire 8-years later his
139th-or-131st, and two sons or daughters would be ranked in Anubis' generation
or the next, and would be first-lineage, -and the first possibly replacing
Anubis, if a son,- but both also too young to be fathers or mothers so soon and
they would have to wait an additional generation....
(It may seem curious, that Ra did-not sire with Isis the only
daughter in her generation born by order upon Thoth to sire ... Ra had started,
picky, but his formalism was wearing thin and beginning to fray ... maybe the
death of Abel had given them cause to rethink, what should work ... Or, it may
simply be that their schedule included the father's sired, first two children,
in what may have been primordially a 10×10 siring-matrix where the father sired
last-of-ten the sibling-interval before the most-senior, folded down to 8×8 with
the father ninth-and-tenth to better fit Earth's lunar calendar, about-12 moons
per year, per-hundred about-8 ... Azura Nephthys thus qualified as the tenth in
either, system, primordial or Earthly.)
That either way almost does fit, means we'll have to decide
their fixes, check both alternatives with equal diligence; then decide the
likelier--
The more-plausible explanation, if Isis' report is true, is
that, Shw didn't take Ra's sired son Anubis from Cain, but Cain subrogate-sired,
for Ra: the closest thing to justified: Ra decided he was getting too old to
stay-on as a senior-sire, and ordered Cain to subrogate sire, whence Anubis was
sired by Ra with Nephthys on the Council record but sired by Cain with Nephthys
in Isis' factual report where Isis complained that Nephthys sneaked to Osiris...
Isis wouldn't complain of Ra, directly, so she complained of Nephthys ... Ra
didn't lose a son to Shw, because Cain sired it, on Ra's schedule, and fathered
it, and turned it over to Shw; and Council gave Anubis Enoch Enos his own branch
lineage offset at 40 years....
(Enos' branch offset 40 years represented that he would senior-sire
as the 6th-ranked, after Ra, Shw, Adam, Cain, and Seth, -or maybe that his
father Seth was 6th-ranked, after Ra, Shw, Thoth, Adam, and Cain;- and that same
offset would put Enos' children back on Ra's main schedule: Such 'statistical
data fudging' numeric-manipulation, would seem to make all the god's wrongs
appear adjudged right-fitting their master plan...)
So, Anubis had even two sires, in Council's legal-context: Ra
was still at the top, Cain didn't supersede Shw but did duty for Ra ... But, it
wasn't really per Isis' claim of Nephthys' sneaking seduction of Cain Osiris: It
was at Ra's order, possibly with Council's foreknowledge and decision;- Except
for why, Nephthys, say Egyptian records, dressed up and played Isis, to seduce
Osiris:- unless Osiris was flabbergasted and reluctant, siring before all the
other seniors, with the superior authority of Ra, advancing with recalcitrance
against the mental breakdown that would lead even to the later instigation of
murder to supersede Shw in Sumer.... The
Egyptian-version would thus be uninformed commentary by Isis when better fact
shows it all timely, and the report that Osiris had dropped his garland upon
exiting Seth's house, also, consistent ... Isis' thought was notably perturbed
by her-own second-standing before her next-generation-younger sister and brother
receiving all of Osiris Cain's first-lineage children,-- and within two more
centuries she was referring to Seth as 'that fiend', which carried down the
millennia to Jesus, as, devil, Satan....
(Note
that Nephthys' impersonation of Isis and sneaky seduction of Osiris may have
been rather over Shw's instruction to stay away from Cain; cf the Egyptian
interpretation, that, Nephthys got the notion that Cain did not want to sire by
her for she was to become his brother Seth's wife;- But, if the record meant
that she was already, Seth's wife, then the seduction occurred on the next, son,
Enoch Enos', first-son, yet to be born.)
(Subnote to clarify: Cain Osiris
did-not-sire child with Nephthys-pretending-as-Isis, because he was not-siring
children with-Isis: whence demon Lilith but the scribe did not recognize that;
Biblical Enoch son of Cain, was sired by Ra and Nephthys: in the Egyptian
record, which knew a little better ... Osiris Cain would not sire children
'til his seniors finished their schedule after Enoch, But yet the
Egyptian record indicates Osiris Cain had no-lineage-children-ever, in four
centuries, till after he was dead and Isis pulled a cute trick;-- and we'll get
to that one.)
(Secondary subnote to clarify the clarification:
Cain may have later, had non-lineage children, by Isis, whom she and they never
acknowledged.)
(One last-twist on the Anubis-sire: If
Isis' report is truer than not, it is possibly that Ra instructed Cain that he
co-sire, in year-196, in the reputed tryst with Nephthys: Genetics does not work
that way but Cain was ensuring the outcome ... Nephthys not yet married to Seth
in her enticement to Cain could mean she was avoiding Ra for the stipulation by
Shw that would return Cain's first lineage-son to replace Shw's Abel ... She may
have done both: then abandoned the child to Isis' care.... Cainan came on the
normal schedule by Cain and Isis didn't complain for the usual....
And the-last twist, in-the-twist: Eve may have surrogate-mothered
to quash the disagreement between her two daughters: One vague hint says Anshar
Cain sired with his own mother... that might put Enoch at 195, still consistent
with Jubilees, and privilege her to wear a melilot garland.)
FIRST-ENOCH ANUBIS ANWPS ENOS ANU'S 40-YEAR-OFFSET
BRANCH LINEAGE, SIBLINGS, AND IN-BETWEENS:
Seth married Nephthys and 8-years later Anubis came home to
Sumer and was put in Seth's family ... and waited ... And here's the
dilemma:--
Enos' 90-year gap till
Cainan, or Enoch's 90 if Cainan was also, moved 40, was not 66-years by Ra, 74
by Shw, (or 82 by Thoth), or 107-years 41-later by Adam moved up a notch in
sireage, but 24-later, as-if by the nobody-next after Thoth;
Plus the Sumerian record says he was of Anu Enos' own mother Antu Nammu Kishar,
not, his lineage-sister-wife Kiki Ki ... (and by some
Sumerian scholars, Anu's sister-wife Kiki's first-son was the elder, but which
may be a referential mistake of the younger's relative-birth-year as
Anu's son). Only if a younger senior, -Adam Geb or Cain Osiris,- moved up to the
24-year position, could this possibly work....
Furthermore, the era between Cain's
Enoch and Irad in the Biblical record of Cain's lineage implies Enoch fathered
or sired Irad, and, requires somebody else sired the in-betweens, meaning Seth
(or one or two, surrogates) sired one-or-more after Enoch and before Jared, even
though Seth was not ruling... Also, the Sumerian record requires that Enki
Cainan and Ellil Mahalaleel both were Anu Anubis Enos' brothers-and-sons, having
a common mother, father, or sire: Indeed, Anu and Enki had mother Kishar
Nephthys in common, But young Kiki mothered Ellil with Anu her husband who must
have shared sire Ra, but didn't, or by softer mix, Seth, fathered Anubis and
sired Ellil (by surrogate):- Ellil could not have been sired by Cain unless Irad
was too-- on a stationary schedule,-- but the branch siring schedule must have
been sliding, partly, the youngest seniors advancing to allow for the next-newer
but while Ra and Shw remained temporarily fixed ahead of the gap ... Or
alternatively it may have been the cleverer assumption that Enki Cainan was Anu
Enos' brother, sired in Anu's shifted-generation, and, Ellil Mahalaleel in the
next where Cainan had moved-down-40-years to father, began as Cainan's brother
till he moved, and thus in their compounded-delayed-transitivity sense, Enki
Cainan and Ellil Mahalaleel both were brothers-and-sons of Anu Enos,- possibly
the family humor to explain-and-cool fraternal arguments.
And some-senior sired Kiki,
wife of Anu Enos, whose son would be a second-first-son, after Nephthys' insert,
and, by calculations subsequent, Kiki would have to be 7th-rank-equivalent in
Enoch or Enos' generation as Nephthys had been 2nd in her own, and, as Ra didn't
sire twice with Nephthys, Kiki was likely sired by Shw, at 49-years offset as-if
8-years-after Enos, that being 7th-rank 48-years-after Enoch, so that, she would
mother 6-years offset 5-more-than Nephthys' offset ... Ra had effectually sired
Enos' at 40 by removal of Enoch at 39, and Shw sired a parallel-daughter-line
that did not-move but held a dual-rank of first-lineage in Enos' offset branch
while delaying mothering by sibling-rank on the main; (Thoth probably remained
ready on the sideline in case Shw failed to get a daughter).... This would also
imply that Cain's, Enoch's, generation, was foreshortened to 40-years, rather
than the usual-65, at least by the Egyptian, order: in creating Enos' offset
branch....
(Anu's branch represented Ra's son-line
shifted-40-years to make-up for the loss of Abel, Kiki's branch represented
Shw's daughter-line offset 40-years ... both sired with Nephthys Azura who had
been Cain's assumed consort for 40 years and Seth's wife for the next 65 and
more... We are seeing a bit of insight into their concepts of rank and value:
both sons and daughters would be sired in their offset branches and so ranked
for lineage firstness, but the daughters would become mothers offset on their
main branch valuation, by sons dropped-in to father the families.)
And with Shw branch-siring, the others
followed suit; (There are other less-likely equivalencies
depending on whether the offset applied also to the wife-line, on whether Seth
being-father-sired would sire at the 40th-temporarily-16-after Cain, and, on
other, finer-point, reasonings).... Shw would still trail Ra, first-daughters
would be first-lineage, but first-sons of the supra-seniors would be sub-lineage
to Adam's, Cain's, Seth's etc. (Only Enos was a first, yet second-first, because
he'd been born Enoch on the main-branch ... Had Shw sired a son he'd have been a
second.)
It appears this branch-lineage held four first-sons since Enoch was
moved at-40 to be Enos and thence each-next moved down 40-years....
Seth's
marriage to Azura 3-10 years before getting Enos, was probably defined as
Adam, Cain, Seth, packed forward in seniority to sire at 16, 24, 32,
years, relative to the main-schedule by virtue of being the
youngest-senior-sires on the branch-generation at 41, 49, 57, offset-40-years,
(Seth received Enos at 39 years: who would father-sire at 40-years on the
branch-65-years). Shw sired Kiki at 49-years, 9-years on the branch; And -after
the gap- Adam may-have-sired a second daughter, or deferred to surrogate-sire
for Seth, and Cain sired at that 25, putting Cainan's birth at the 89th of Enoch
and subsequently transferred down 40-more, (Shw possibly allowed Cain's
continued siring because his first son had been turned over to Seth's family,
and as a second would be sired-in by Cain great-grandfather-siring having missed
grandfathering in Enoch's short, generation) to Enos' branch lineage offset
40-years, in year-325. Shw, Thoth, and Adam, were not
senior-siring into Cain's family but into Seth's and by transfer to Enos',
and-or possibly as surrogates if needed for Seth or as follow-ons-after to
prevent Cain-vs.-Abel type conflicts....
(Seth's marriage 3-10-possibly-8-years before
receiving Enoch as Enos may have been to appreciate his next-generation offset,
the 8-years.)
(That Cain, sired Cainan, is corroborated by
Jasher's story of Lamech killing grandfather-Cain: being related by marrying
Cainan's daughters.)
(The second-daughter, Cainan's sister maybe a birth-twin,
purportedly disputed Enki Cainan's firstness-- because he moved 40 yet she
didn't, and Cainan
married his officially-first-sister-wife born later in the generation, past the
40-year cutoff, sired by Shw....)
(Siring-schedule delays were of no
pressing matter as the gods were in no rush to be immortal....)
Nephthys Azura mothered a whole-65-year-generation
offset 40-years by her marriage to Seth and receipt of Enoch down-one as Enos
... But, that is to say that she mothered once in one generation for Cain and
several times in the next generation offset 40-years for Adam, Cain, Seth:
Nephthys Azura
bore Osiris Cain's sired child Cainan Enoch, in his 220th on his 24-year-offset
+1 for her rank, to be moved 40 to Enos' offset:
Cainan was born 25-years-offset-over-65 from Enoch,
Ellil was born 5-years-offset-over-65 from Cainan, and Irad with no additional
offset was right-on-the-65-years-after Ellil, (albeit, Irad Jared's
older-brother Nanna-Suen Enan was born yet sooner by a reputedly-too-young
wife).
In other words, formerly Cain would have
grandfather-sired in his 188th, in Enoch's generation but which was
foreshortened, so, instead great-grandfather-sired in Enos' generation--
moved-up: in his 220th which is equivalent to the 25th year in the main line;
and because Kiki was thus born in Enos' 40-years-offset generation, she would
not mother till the next offset generation, 16-years after Cainan was born. And
the result of too many changes and equivalencies may have led to Ellil's
subsequent confusion as to which year he should get his first son Enan or
Jared....
Seth may-or-not have been moved-up to first-lineage
as the replacement for Cain's lack of son in his 65th: He was fathering, but
still less-first,
Sumerian and
Egyptian records essentially agree ... One hint of difference comes in later
Sumerian texts that Anu Enos that is Anubis Enoch, sired his second, first-son:
which would imply Cain had ceased siring in Anubis' line, -probably on Shw's
order of exclusion, but we don't have the 'when-or-if',- and maybe Enos
subrogate-sired for Seth at the 24th year offset ... limiting senior sires
Cain's involvement and Seth's siring-trials, to grandfather-siring to
get past their troubled generations, --or they got daughters,-- and then Enos
father-sired prolifically....
Enoch Enos, senior-sired two generations after
Cain, would sire 16 years after Cain, but beginning in his third generation,
8-years after Seth, sired, but so also would not father-sire with his true wife
Kiki till after she and his brother-first-son and another sister were born (but
not Ellil) ... But why the Bible does not list Cainan after Cain's
Enoch, may be scribe confusion about Cain's Enoch who disappeared in becoming
Enos: whence there were really two, Enoch's, one for Cain and one for Seth, and
the Sumerian name, Enki, may have reflected that second use....
(Research note: There may be a
1-year-discrepancy in moving Cainan to Anubis Enos' branched-lineage: Although
seemingly calendric, the move of Anubis by 39-years-rather-than-40 suggests Ra
maybe sired with Nephthys even-1-year-earlier:- in which case, maybe, Isis was
the mother of Cainan-- that Isis had been moved with Cain Osiris to his
senior-siring rank and possibly this is when Nephthys sneaked-in, a year late
for her own-self: to ensure Cainan first-lineage and avoid another
Abel-in-second scenario ... sneaking-in twice ... on Ra's orders.)
But from here we have insufficient information to resolve what
the supra-seniors did upon the Council's
adjustments: Ra may have continued to sire generations offset-40-years, or maybe
he avoided Kiki for she and
her husband Anubis Anu Enos were second-first-lineage and Ra didn't sire in
second though he'd started it-- or possibly
Anu held Kiki back, despairing further involvement
in Ra's lineage-system that had destroyed his prominence in Egypt and played
prominently in the murder of Abel * by Cain, Possibly, Shw advanced in
subsequent siring, and either held first position or Thoth sired again;-- With
Kiki mothering offset-6-years the schedule appeared similar for the next
children: Cainan's sister-wife offset 46-or-54-years and Ellil Mahalaleel offset
30-years 5 over Cainan's 25, Mahalaleel Ellil's sister-wife offset
45.75-or-46.75 years and Irad Jared offset 29.75-or-30.75: preserving their
order-equivalence as-if Ra had held his place, (Except Enlil Mahalaleel and a
sire got confused).
* (Anubis didn't learn about that from Ra or
Cain Osiris, but from Shw in Edin; a trial of Osiris accused by Seth
with Thoth sitting in judgment in Egypt, found in favor for Osiris not-having
said anything bad about brother Abel:-- trial may have been Seth's attempt to
ascertain the extent of Cain's recognized guilt; the
accusation was probably inspired by Shw, Adam, and Eve, for Seth's protection:
More than learning the history, of Cain vrs. Abel, Seth needed to understand
Osiris' mindset, regarding Abel,-- as Seth was designated-proxy-replacement for
Abel....)
(The reason for even supposing Ra would have stopped siring, --or
used another subrogate sire,-- was that Ra always-got sons, on the record.)
It still seems more-likely that the 40-year
offset was recognized at-that-time, for moving sons down, and not merely Moses'
scribes' confusion: so Cain sired Cainan whose name was derived from his
grandfather Cain, into Seth and Nephthys' family, but so late on the main line
he was moved down to Enos' family when he reached 40-years; And next
offset,-generation, Seth sired or by surrogate with Enos' sister-wife Kiki, on
his-next sliding-order in the 24th further shifted 5-years by Kiki's rank: thus
allowing Enos Anu to have two first-sons for 40 years: second-first-son
Mahalaleel Enlil initially Cainan's next-generation brother, then also, moved
down to be first-son; And Irad next, sired by Enos Anu Enoch.
The paucity of information on the daughters'
birth-years leaves open much well-intended equivalency, But one-way-or-another
Kiki mothered at 6-years offset upon the sire's 24-years-offset, -or 14 upon
16,- totaling 30, and her first-son moved down one-family after 40 years... as
had his father and grandfather ... (Additionally, we will
co-estimate, that, sired in Enos' 40-years-offset-branch, meant, mothering
offset-plus-5-years...).
But the story of Anubis
and Cainan gets stranger still as we recheck the details:--
CAINAN THE TITAN-- SECOND ENOCH AKA ENKI
SON-AND-BROTHER OF ANU AKA ENOS AKA ANUBIS FIRST ENOCH:
Enos laughed harder-than-ever at this latest, lineage
foul-up, which may be why the name, Enoch, is in Hebrew, Schnook, rather than
Khan-uk The-Lord-One: The successive Earthborn sons were growing-up larger than
their fathers; no longer 'Hawks': the later Greeks classified Enki's siblings as
'Titans' ... his birth-grandparents were
one-of-spacer-appetite-and-three-of-Earther-appetite, and his own son was even
larger yet.
According to the Egyptians, Anubis had one
son, then all-but-forgotten: They knew Anubis much later with Horus,
the two Watchers in the east... But the Sumerian record has Anu Anubis having
two, first-sons, En-Ki and En-Lil, gods of the land and the air, both fathered
by Anu Anubis. But understand, that, Anubis Anu was first-lineage: He'd have 4-5
children by Ra, Shw, Thoth, Adam Geb, Cain Osiris, before his own, and only one
would be first-born ... But, the Sumerian is rather definite that En-Lil was
firstborn while En-Ki was alive, and though our Bible had Cainan father
Mahalaleel El-Lil (Malalel in Jubilees), the mother of En-Ki Cainan
was Nammu (Noam in Jubilees) not Kiki who mothered Enos Anu's horde of Anunnaki
Igigi gods, (the Anuna gods were inclusive by another mother) ... a trouble is,
the name, Nammu, meant primordial waters, who would have been Mwt, but Mwt could
not put children into Anu Anubis' family unless she married him -she never did,-
and En-Ki Cainan was Ninigiku-- with charge over the Igigi Anunnaku, so, Nammu's
son Enki had priority over Kiki's sons, (great princes as gods), and yet En-Lil
was a first-son: They argued endlessly, in the Sumerian: something confused them
about who-sired-whom; Nammu, was also attributed with mothering the Igigi
Annunaki;- reminiscent of Nephthys and Isis both mothering Anubis and Anubis
despising their lineage system but eventually relishing the fun....
(Note, The argument -not scholarly- was
carried-on between Enki and Enlil over lineage first-rights concerning mother
Ki's lineage as An's true wife and Anu's first wife, and mother Antu's lineage
as Anu's own mother and second wife; -the argument style that Horus later
relied-on as Isis' son, though he dealt with Seth directly in Egypt, rather than
with Seth's wife's son Enos in Sumeria;- Researching this further
may also detangle Ki's uncertain parentage ... Lineage calculation is
an estimate in our reconstruction and may have more details and
we'll have to decipher what they did, to put Ellil into Cainan's family by
Cainan's wife Mualaleth 'grand-Lilith'; to clarify the Bible lineage and explain
the Sumerian record as both-correct under their lineage-system.)
(Notable also, Anu was known to leave the Sumer
region frequently, leaving second-first-son Enlil in charge,
thus elevating his stature to that of stand-in for Anu while Enki had his own
stature as firstborn; Anu left to them their argument that proceeded.... This
also kept Enlil out of Egypt.)
(The 'primordial waters' is also hinted-at as the Greek
Gaea Ge Ki 'the Earth' bringing-forth Oceanus the 'ocean-type waters',--
start and finish.)
Nevertheless, By family-structure, Nammu reputedly mothered both
Anu and his first-son Enki plus Anu's wife Ki: which exactly imputes Nammu was
Nephthys Azura herself mother of the same three, and entitled, in getting the
first sired by Ra Amun, Nammun N'Amun princess-of-Amun to
the primordial lineage of Amun, --though herself no part directly primordial
born in Adam Geb's own-sired earthly-branch-first-lineage, and Cain actually
subrogate-sired him for Ra;-- and further that she actually got Enki
Cainan in Enoch Anu Enos' offset-next-generation, his first,-first-son,
while Kiki was a youngish sibling of Anu --by either
generation, main or branch,-- yet oldest and so qualified to be his
first-lineage-wife....
(Note: Titular, En, An, is oft translated,
sky or high, connoting overseer, lord,- reused by subsequent lords not
specifically of mountain-heavens. Relative titular, Nin,
meant secondary lord, wife, consort to the same En, but also an En
lord of one role could be a secondary Nin in a multirole aspect.... Similarly,
the Egyptian short-name for Anubis Anup, was, Wip:-- An-Wp thus being
the same title-name, the same family linguistics... The 'is'-suffix
appears more commonly in later versions of their names, Osir Osiris, Anup
Anubis, Aset Isis, and is linguistically similar to '-uk'.)
So, Nephthys went to grandfather
Cain Osiris in Egypt, and got second-Enoch, per the Council decision: who was
thus twelfth-sibling-brother of first-Enoch Anubis, the generation after Anubis
Enoch removed to Edin, and second-Enoch became first-son and thence also moved
to Edin ... and they divided rule of the heaven-mountains above from the Earth
below, En-U and En-Ki; Enki only much later taking the El-Ea appellative ... But
by the shift in senior-siring-ranks he was born 25 years-in at 285 and began
rule 40-later in the first of the succeeding generation, year 325, by the same
40-year offset as first-Enoch Enos, which was subsequently misconstrued as his
birthyear calculated as 90-years-after Enos.
Like his father first-Enoch Enos Anu had
been moved to Seth's family and its 40-year offset, Cainan sired by Cain at his
siring-offset 24-years, next-generation, was effectually Cain's second, Enoch,
moved 40 years to Enos',- his birth, 65+24=89 years after first-Enoch, recorded
thence 90-years after Enos, offset to 90+40=130 after first Enoch on Ra's
schedule; though Ra did not sire and Kiki only subrogate-mothered Cainan.
And so by adjustable-design Cainan
ruled, on a branch-lineage subsequently overlapping first-lineage: odd because
only Ra, sired first in first. (Kiki became
first-lineage full-mother in the subsequent-next generation, for Anu's
second,-first-son Ellil Mahalaleel, and their Annunaki horde.)
Nephthys mothered
Cainan senior-sired by Cain, in Seth's Enoch's family, brothers both
of the same mother and sire, (they did not distinguish stepsiblings by
sire), fueling later argument for Anu Enos' children ... (Note that
Nephthys did not marry, Anubis Anu Enos, to do this).... Cainan being born
after, Cain's Enoch's generation, went to the next, -Seth's Enoch Enos'
generation,- a situation similar to Seth and Azura Nephthys' own....
(Yet-later-Sumerian references indicate
Enki Cainan had a stepsister, -born of a different mother,-
who disputed his family position, but the distinction must have been
loose for she was also sometimes known as Enki's twin sister-- but
they were all, close-twins.)
(The Sumerians say Enki Cainan at 40 years of age became very wise;
possibly that he learned what had happened in his birth-arrangement: probably
when he learned at age-40 that he was being moved from Seth's family to Enos'
family-- as Enos had moved, from Cain's to Seth's.)
(This also created lineage-problems centuries later when
Isis got her Horus, claiming he, was the first-son of Cain Osiris,- for as
Nephthys got Anubis Enoch Anu by Cain Osiris, then Isis' Horus -by any, senior
or, Cain,- would have been Cain's second-born-lineage son... except for the
Council rulings... whence Ra could-not give Horus lineage-status outright, nor
make Horus the replacement for Cain ... They, argued too ... But Isis
did get Horus rule of Egypt, above Seth according to an Egyptian record that Geb
gave Seth's portion to Horus: probably on the merit that Horus was Osiris Cain's
best replacement for Abel, ahead of Seth and Anubis, upon
his own death while saving Geb, whereas Seth replaced Cain, having
plenty without restriction from Sumer... Probably Isis had encouraged Osiris
Cain to resolve his dilemma about Abel-- in Sumer).
(Note the name, Cain-an, may
mean Cain-of-by-for-An, maybe Cain-lorded first-lineage, or as, Kenan Ki-nun,
the earth-at-the-river-flow-line ... Names, titles, words, were replete in
multiple entendre, puns, not only for intellectual intents but constitutional,
full of meaning however-turned.)
(Note that we've thus identified two, Enochs,
actually sired by Cain Osiris but only one was by schedule, and only one Anubis,
of three, officially sired by Ra but actually subrogate-sired by Cain Osiris
first-father and Seth was second-and-final father:-- three responsible males,
one child.)
Let's overview how-and-why this was all done, their
method of arrangement and combinations in Ra's first-family:--
THE LINEAGE SENIORITY RULE-- AT THE TOP OF THE LINE:
Regard their method for attaining and
maintaining immortality included only the firstborn except in a case of passing
and second-born became living-firstborn (cf the centuries-later declaration by
Egyptian Thoth "the firstborn son, the son of Ra" after first son Shw had
passed) ... but also, this meant first-lineage did not sire into second-lineage
but had replacement-seconds of-itself. (Hence, Ra's big family before
him on his "Boat of Millions" must have gone somewhere else,-- and we'll get to
that deeper reconsideration, eventually).
Recall that Adam and Eve
had Cain, Abel, Awan (Isis), sired by seniors, but then waited till Adam was
130-years, before he, sired Seth and Azura (Nephthys) ... This was their
Seniority rule;-- Adam did not sire children with sister Eve 'til his third
generation years: Meanwhile, at 65-years he was put in charge of his god-family
(retired from Liliths'); but Eve did not have to be 65-years ... For Adam's
second-65-years each senior did their god-fill-duty separated about-8 years for
adolescence, And at 130 he started begetting of himself ... (In the
meantime before siring in-lineage he may, have, had off-lineage
children in Ra's larger family).... Likewise, Azura (Nephthys) would have had
children sired by husband Seth 65 years after her first, Anubis, allowing for
senior-fill, in year 261 his 131st,-- albeit Seth was
reputedly withholding.
(Siring off-lineage may have been a practice discontinued in Sumer
or in Seth's line, as, for man [min seed] "his days shall be an [120] years.")
But let's clarify this: Adam, and Seth, were born
on-time in their 65-year cycles ... but not all, sons and daughters, were born
in the 65th year: In their last-possible-year cases, the grandfather-sired
mother, or father, might be only-15 when the first senior sired for them delayed
7-years on sibling-rank into the next generation, and eventually the father
would begin siring his own in his third, generation-- age 73-137....
Note also, Ra used a modified seniority rule
starting himself with Eve, not having enough seniors to fill 40-years after
Abel, which thus explains why Cain and Abel had one-sister rather than 3-5
before Adam's own, -not that it mattered 'til one was 65 but,- whence their
argument over the woman and the murder of which Shw was certain;- And why,
second-lineage-senior Thoth was included, and what was meant, that Ra ordered
Shw to separate Adam Geb and Eve Nuit a while ... a lot of historic pieces
quickly fit in place and tell a larger story: First lineage, was
sired on their basic 65-year cycle, sublineages on 8-year offsets,
one-year delays for sibling-rank, with sufficient flexibility
retaining older seniors to sire gaps and substitutions, e.g. Seth
was born ca Cain's 65th but of Adam in his 130th, sire-and-father effectually
the ninth senior-sire.
(Subnote Ra's separation order: Under the same general
regime we find their stories imitated nature-observations: e.g. Geb the Earth
and Nut the Sky touch from evening horizon to morning horizon but Shw the Air
separates them during the day ... the gods' planned-parenthood wherein they did
first as Ptah ordered Ra, so as to be memorable, their emotions ranging plain
humanly in appeal to 'lesser' mankind's affections; gods were as
dramatic role models for mankind, a relation seemingly subverted in
modern theater, and yet, Enoch Cainan was the wizard of en-Os.)
(Subnote also the first
sirings by Shw and Thoth following Ra immediately-8-years rather than
immediately preceding Adam 8-years, Shw and Thoth were 7-or-6 or-more
generations older than Adam, 455-or-390 or-more years, and 3-or-more generations
more-primordial ... and Thoth as Shw's immediate
brother might have been assigned the place as replacing Shw's
ordinary-lineage-son-no-longer-or-never-living; but not in first lineage, his
exact lineage rank is almost specious at least as high as a self-sired-son but
not Shw's; a second son of Ra would have been second to Seth, if by the same
mother ... But Thoth was also extremely long-lived -longer than Shw- and we'll
soon see just how significantly....)
The 40-year-offset of
Adam's branch-lineage subsequent to Seth was not only coincident with Anubis
replacing Abel from his years lived but, 5-offsets after Ra, including Shw,
Thoth, and eventually upon closure of the seniors gap, Adam, Cain, and Seth:
Seth himself was Adam's branch-lineage firstborn and needed in-place, because
Cain had no other-next, but, Seth's children moving east from Cain Osiris'
lineage, were added that 40 years ... The apparent fact that Thoth was retained
in this siring lineup, tells us that Thoth's position was no-less-first than
Seth's second-first ... But primarily Adam, Cain, and Seth, would sire first in
this branch-first-line, with the primordial-seniors post-siring into
pre-generations....
The 24-year-offset of Cain's Cainan, tells us that Cain was
siring only 3-offsets after Ra, including Shw, but not Thoth-- but Adam moved up
and replacing Thoth because Cain was first-first-lineage, and then, Cain; and we
begin to see the pattern of construction in first-lineage:
apparently, after the death of Abel, Ra and the
Council decided to close-up the senior-sires-gap directly, refilling its middle
rather than end; Ra would retire with a full ruling
first-lineage-senior-siring-lineup in-place again after five centuries....
We'll see a lot of fine-adjustments,
one-year-increments per the sibling-birth-year-ranking of the wife, maybe
husband and sire; The god family recorded years as lineage rank which was
adjusted not strictly destiny from birth... They were talking not only to
themselves, but to a future that should rediscover their presence as gods, and
judge them for fine detail ... Fine adjustments include Azura
Nephthys mothering Enoch Anubis Anu Enos a year late 196 instead of 3×65=195,
Jared's Enoch 522, says Jubilees, 2-years late by a 3rd-sibling mother rather
than 8×65=520, Mahalaleel offset-5 in Cainan's 70th not 65th, and Jared
not-offset ... One-year-increments also add-up eight steps equating
late-born-siblings to on-time-siblings and there may be in some cases
more-than-one-possible reconstruction to their history....
(Whether the males were also offset by sibling rank, is uncertain:
Evidence exists indicating husbands with multiple wives, but not vice versus.)
From here, the race is easier, or downhill,--
THE ALTERNATIVE ENOCH'S RESPECTIVE BY NUMBER:
By their numbers,
there were three Enoch's, --Anubis, Cainan, and Horus,-- shuffling among Cain,
Seth, Enos, Jared, Isis, Nephthys, and Kiki....
By their name-titles, there
could be but one, Enoch/ChNWK Schnook Khan-uk The-Lord-one
... And by succession, each was Enoch for awhile:
The Biblical record has Enoch the first-son
of Cain, but, Cain Osiris' Egyptian first-son was much-later younger, Horus; so,
we know something happened to Anubis that corresponds to Cain's Enoch 'til
Anubis later revisited Egypt upon Isis' request.... Then Nephthys got a
second-Enoch who corresponds to Cainan and also Cain's Enoch: who sired Irad who
fathered Mehujael who fathered Methusael ... Then there's third-Enoch, preceded
by Jared in Seth's lineage, and who also fathered Methuselah ... (Plus, a
fourth-Enoch-surprise that Moses' scribes couldn't explain).
(Note that Anubis' later requested revisit to Egypt,
premised on his loyalty to Isis and knowledge of Nile terrain: who would be only
one, Anubis: Enos, who had grown-up his first-40-years as Cain's Enoch with the
Egyptian side of the family: on the Nile....)
(Note that the Egyptian records of two-or-more sires for Anubis,
are really only hinting that they knew of two-or-more versions of the siring and
birth of Anubis, mothered by Nephthys, and-or, two-more-more first-sons, of
mother Nephthys; where we've found the one version that fits-all.)
Also, the identities, of
mothers Isis and Nephthys, after Nephthys pulled her Lilith-trick, became a
mixed-correlation between the Sumerian and Egyptian records: Of the
children of Lahmu Adam, Anshar's sister and wife was Kishar, very like Kiki, and
very like Isis wife of Cain Osiris Wsr ("oongsher") like Anshar, given certain
linguistic tendencies of k-kh-sh-s; and Nephthys and Antu, are likewise most
similar, her "Lilith" being a fiction... Nephthys hid her child Anubis Enos Anu
with Isis for a while, Isis even claiming the child, And father and son were
both titular An, Lord; and Anu with Ki his mother begat the Anunnaki ... Yet
Anu's wife was primarily Nammu with whom he begat Enki; and Ki purportedly begat
Ellil name-similar to Lilith ... the Egyptians called Nephthys, Nebkhat the
maker of the body of the Company of gods, but we see might be Ki maker
of the Annunaki, (or later Nabu-uk-het) ... Yet the Bible doesn't know Enki the
flood-predicter as Cainan, name similar to Cain not his purported Enoch, who has
Mahalaleel Ellil son of Enos Anu long-before the third-Enoch ... Not
surprisingly, Noah is the fourth 'eN-Och' (by subdued-En)... probably so-named,
Noach 'lesser-Enoach', while the primary Enoch Horus was alive, and his death
later confused in the Mosaic Pentateuch.
(The four Enochs were the chief-lords the An-uk in Cain's line:
first-Enoch of Cain, Cainan second-Enoch of Cain after first-Enoch moved east,
third-Enoch Horus sired by Ra for Cain, after Cain died, and fourth-(E)Noch Noah
whom we'll soon find was sired by Cain's first-Enoch, Enos.)
(And too, note, The name-title, Isis, pronounced 'Ishish', is
very-like, Kiki, pronounced 'KhiKhi'... Rather than being Nephthys' daughter
Kiki; And too the name, Antu, is very-like An-het-U; meaning, An-U,
was itself titular, and Ant-U was the formal wife of An-U, his sister not
mother.)
We haven't yet confirmation on who-all-knew-which-when,
whether the Sumerian record is correct because they were near, or,
most-uninformed perhap -say the Egyptian story records,- for keeping Seth's
anger at bay while Nephthys played wife and consort to many ... almost a pity
Jesus was hard on Satan Seth-an's attitude for sanity among mankind, after all
that,- but there's much more to understand about souls and bodies and sanity,
and that's where Jesus started.... It is even possible that Isis pulled a
Lilith-trick as Nammu to pull the lineage back to Cain, --Cainan thus having
Cain for grandfather and Isis for mother: a corrected-staggered lineage; And
Enlil was Nephthys' Lilith-pull-back resumption (from either, Cainan per the
Bible, or Enos per the Sumerian),-- and Egyptians had little information about
Anubis Anu's later son Ophios Upuaut/Wepwawet (Sumerian
Mummu) and daughter Kabechet Kebhut... And pulling legal-strings, was Seth -the
first power-of-attorney lawyer, for Abel,- grabbing Isis' sisterly claim on
Anubis' mother and wifely claim on Anubis' father, making his own husbandly
claim on Anubis' mother, and law-work claim vs. the lineage-downstep ('firstborn
must be fullborn') and readiness of the actual mother to care for the baby (in
her husband's household),- and whence things began to get nasty about Seth,--
labeling him, 'stinking face' (Thoth's pejorative),
'fiend' (Isis'), "Typhon/Tebh", 'Satan' (modern)....
(Under Isis' deft magical attributions, Nephthys' lineage
responsibilities became the willynillyness of a promiscuous 100-year-old little
sister.)
(Note the spelling pronunciation-enunciation and identity of Ophios
Upuaut/Wepwawet may actually be Wp-Wt, Ap-uat, jackal-associate of Anubis Anup
An-Wp,- Anpu, as their early oph-linguistics had
a strong W-like tail-chaser depending on the succeeding letter, or
space.)
(The term, Satan, probably developed from the notion that a
certain later one of the sons of god Enos, an angel regarded as malevolent -cf
the story of Job,- was the 'Seth-An', Seth-of-An, of Anu Enos,- by attribution
relating the Seth of Adam and Satan of Enos ... by infamous character the
ambusher or adversary lying-in-wait.... Most of Jesus' statements about Satan
refer to the self-contradiction of that son of Enos not to Seth; and neither
Satan nor Seth were known specifically as murderers but as instigators and
orchestrators of such troubles Jesus knew confronting his near future destiny
... But note specifically Satan was not one of the first lineage fathers from
the beginning listed in the Bible, albeit he may have sired sons: Satan, was not
the father where Jesus disdained the Jews in the temple that their father was a
murderer from the beginning... And in like fashion, Cainan, may have
been Cain-of-An as the first son of Enos, -who also murdered: we'll get to
that,- replicating the pattern of Adam's Cain, Abel/H'Bel, and later Seth, as,
Anu Enos' Enki Cainan, Bel Ellil, and later Satan who may-or-not have been first
of the seconds.)
The point is, Despite the precision in numerical accuracy we will
draw up, there's still the possibility that they just did what they pleased,
with the results later realigned to appear right: Living so many centuries yet
accomplishing so little, it may have been as easy to fix, as ever to predict....
SECOND-FIRST-SON MAHALALEEL MALALEL
ELLIL ENLIL-- SPRINGS AHEAD ON SUMER TIME:
The Sumerians relish telling of Enki Cainan siring with many
successions of daughters ... apparently this novelty to mankind gaining its
slight understanding of the gods, is exactly what we know about their lineage;
but it may also indicate of some paucity of senior-sires in this line ...
Sumerian records
have Enlil born of Anu Enos by his proper wife Ki, The Biblical has Mahalaleel
of Cainan in his 70th year and Jubilees says by his wife Mualaleth (but which
could be the old nomenclature for sister-wife 'Mau-halal-het', but
Enlil's) ... And whereas Anu-through-Jared all appear shifted 40-years, into
Seth's-lineage, maybe Mahalaleel was shifted, too:-- Numerically, Enlil
Mahalaleel was born in Anu Enos' 160th, that is
Cain's Enoch's 199th without the 40-year offset if he himself
old-father-sired with next-generation 6-year-offset wife Kiki, but outside his
advanced branch-siring position, so, which might be his 160th offset 40 which
would be Cain senior-siring with Enos' wife Kiki but only if Cain
shifted to the 16-year-position and Kiki offset 14 years: in the
next-generation... Or, Kiki was 6-years-offset and Seth sired (or by surrogate)
in the 24-year-position,-- which seems likeliest because Cain's Enoch
Enos, sired Irad next, and the Sumerian message of Enlil's pursuit of
Sud that she become his wife Ninlil, identifies Enlil himself as the descendant
and offspring of Anshar (Cain Osiris "Oongsher", or Seth) not Anu....
(The equivalency of cross-generation-siring seems iffy in
this present examination, But did appear to have happened previously with
Nephthys, and at that time cast in Council's moving Cain's siring position back,
half a generation: to senior-sire early,-there ... Cain or Seth, sired
Enlil....)
These
two-or-more alternatives, thus appearing merged, may have led to their later
mistake of Enlil getting his first son Nanna-Suen too soon; The Biblical record
assumed Mahalaleel was the first son of Cainan, (and the Jubilees record
likewise, even including Malalel's first son Enan Nanna-Suen as Cainan's
second), The Sumerian record assumed Enlil Ellil was the son of Anu Enos, and
says all three, Anu, Enki, Enlil were brothers: which may be as Nephthys Azura
had mothered both Enoch Enos and Cainan, and Cain Osiris sired both, and Seth
fathered Enoch Enos and sired Mahalaleel, (and Enos Anu fathered Enki and
Enlil), making them a threeway-brotherhood. But, -some- Sumerian records say
Enki himself was the first-son of Ellil; There appears to have been a
deliberately extended argument of who's whose-son-first ...
(It may be that Cain's Enoch Cainan Enki was also
-later- put-down a step further, under Ellil, after something
'unhearably'-terrible he did, and, worse, his son completed; that Moses couldn't
mention and Jesus only got mid-sentence before a temple crowd took-up stones; Or
simply the scribes, being ordinary mankind as the gods cultivated to take
chores, did not understand the gods' family structure that a father might throw
a party for a son and bow before him, and mistook such events for prevalent
conditions) ... Either Cain or Seth (or by surrogate) sired
Mahalaleel....
(Just what confused Enlil and the sire of Nanna-Suen Enan, is
unclear: Birth-years were all preset by lineage-rank, not arbitrary.... Unless
Enlil had avoided all other sires for his wife and the Council chose therefore
that Enan was second to Jared Irad, there is no explanation, but facts: Firstly
that the Sumerian story of Enlil and his premarital wife Sud Ninlil tells of
Enlil imposturing other sires but which may mean they were his senior-sires;
Secondly his father Anu Enos may have believed that only Enoch and Cainan were
to have been moved down 40 years for Cain having murdered and subsequently sired
replacement for Shw's Abel-- In other words, Anu may have believed Enlil
would-not-move down but remain as second-first-son and-resume the main schedule:
In which case Enlil may have volunteer-subrogate-sired for the senior Ra ca
year-396 being 390-plus,-6 for his wife's-to-be sibling-rank-offset....)
(Note that the
Biblical order of lineage reflects the perspective that Moses and his Hebrews
resolved during their 220-years stay in Egypt,
But-for that Egyptian record that said Seth never-sired, but which
could have meant first-lineage, any lineage, sons, known in Egypt, or none at
all.)
When Cain senior-sired Cainan, it was at his
24-year-position in the next generation 65-years, offset-40 matching Enos'
40-year-offset, Enos' 90th ... When Seth senior-sired Mahalaleel, it was at his
24-year-position matching Cainan's 24-years, in the next generation 65-years,
offset-40, and further offset 5-years for Kiki herself offset
5-sibling-intervals, Cainan's 70th from Enos' 90th, Enos' 160th.... Then,
Cainan, received a wife another Seth-lineage 7th-sibling -(if not
Nephthys herself Mualaleth: there is indication that Nephthys eventually left
Seth),- and Enos sired Jared at his 24-year-position, in the next generation
65-years, offset-40, offset 5-years for the wife, matching Mahalaleel's offset,
Mahalaleel's 65th from Cainan's 70th, Cainan's 135th... But there are
still calendric 1-year-uncertainties.... (Note that
24+40=64 but 24.3+40.6=64.9 nearer the 65-year generation-step:
Jubilees is precise-and-so-accurate only to within one year of record-- till we
exactly align their lunar-calendar.)
Or more simply put, sons and daughters
sired-and-mothered-within Enos' branch lineage would be
plus-5th-lineage, the first at (5×8)+(5×1)=45 years offset, adding the sire's
and mother's offsets ... But until one was so, those sired-in were offset
accordingly for each sire-and-mother pair.
It would thus appear that Cain Osiris
sired or grandfathered 3-5 with Azura Nephthys mothering 2-4, And Awan Isis and
Cain Osiris may have felt a deep anxiety for wanting to destroy all their
estranged sons, (the verbage, 'Shall we destroy that we have
created?', was later imputed to Tiamut Tefnut for Apsu Shw in the Sumerian trial
record, though in fact Apsu Shw had no sire-part but the daughters and
indirectly via Adam's Eve ... or, Cain was Shw's sired Abel, in fact) ...
meanwhile somebody sired Mahalaleel Ellil's first son Enan Nanna-Suen
too-soon-to-be-first.
(Either, Cain, senior-sired or subrogate-sired
Enos' lineage because Seth was Abel's replacement sibling and Cain was really
Abel, or each, Cain, Seth, Enos, sired, in sliding-order ... If Cain, had sired
Mahalaleel, they'd be definitively brothers or stepbrothers, otherwise
connotively.)
So they'd succeeded at putting Enos' offset lineage back onto
the main lineage calendar schedule --apparent,-- but it shouldn't last there....
Mahalaleel Enlil was born in Adam's 355th
rather than his 395th, the same 70th year of Cainan measured from our better
corrected reference, and moved to Enos' 40-years offset....
Remarkably, the year mismatches then disappear for
four-in-a-row equally offset by the same 40 years; until at Jared's Enoch,
Jubilees significantly deviates a century from the Biblical, to return fully, to
their main-branch schedule ... (Their calendar date years being their apparent
best-authority, --but-- we'll find that eventually even Jubilees begins slipping
generation-anchors).
Sumerian Enlil if not Enoch, is also
known around the world: the Akkadian Ellil, the Babylonian Illinois,
the American indian Illiniwek El-Enoch....
NEXT-NEXT-FIRST-SON JARED IRAD URDA NINURTA,
MERED-THE-ONE MA-IRAD-UK MARDUK ... BIGGER THAN HIS FATHER:
Second-lineages were not deeply involved in senior-siring
rules, as substitutions were one-on-one in case of a first-lineage passing;
Yet, Anu was apparently relishing the fallout from Cain's
first-lineage mistakes, equalizing them as his-own double-firsts, and honored by
Apsu Shw....
Sumerians say, Enki's first-son
was Marduk-- Mered, Cainan's third after Mahalaleel Enlil and his,-first-son
Nanna-Suen Enan (per Jubilees) ... But the Bible has Jared the first
of Mahalaleel, and Irad the first of Enoch, of Cain, but who we found
was Cainan Enki, and Urda second of Ellil
after Ellil started early with too-young
Ninlil and Council decided that-first son Nanna-Suen Enan was not,-first
lineage, (he later sat in judgment on cousin first-son Marduk Mered, that being
a usual responsibility for second-sons: cf Seth and Thoth's trial of Osiris),
But, Cainan's, was first:
That Anu, should have sired Marduk, is alluded
in the Biblical reference to Cain's Enoch fathering Irad, But, this would assume
Anu was at the top, exclusive of Cain Osiris siring... yet which very
soon became the fact and they may have revised their history to give it a
'living'-reference: Enos Anu, first Enoch
Anubis, had not-only two lineages, but two lineage-systems of rules, on two
schedule-calendars, crossing divergently ... Cainan Enki was following suit with
his, two-first-sons-brothers, And Ellil, to get ahead of that order, declared
Irad Ninurta was his peremptory first. (Note that Cainan's two were
both Ma-prefix names, Mahalaleel and Mered M'irad-uk Marduk; And Ellil's,
N'n-prefix ... And when Marduk Jared's Nabu and Enoch came along next,
the prefix-cycle restarted, En-och, Me-thuselah, inserted Lamech, and N-oah... a
name-convention and the name of Lamech may have started yet another,
an L'-diminuitive of El, El-Am-uk aL'Am-uk L'Am-ech....)
And when Marduk was later put on trial, it was by Nanna Suen, Not
Jared Ninurta who would have been fourth, if not actually Jared
Irad himself, Mered Marduk, born in Adam's 420th rather than his 460th
(Jubilees' 461st), the same 65th-year of Mahalaleel Enlil measured from our
better-corrected reference; (Jubilees' sources possibly had
more precision, or counted from a different calendar starting-month: possibly
Adam's).
The correlation of Marduk, Mered, Irad, and Jared, gets more
involved in subsequent events but appears to be one same son: The
Babylonian-India'n name-suffix, '-uk/-uc', Hebrew '-ach/-ek', Greek '-ish'
(cf Osir Osiris), indicated Chief-one: Marduk was Enki's first-son by another
wife not Mualaleth but sister or daughter Damkina Dawkina, (Enki was
known for going after several great first-daughters, and his wife
poisoning him to curtail that), but Jubilees says Dinah the wife of Mahalaleel
got Jared... and thus two are the same; whence small linguistic steps among,
Jared, Irad, Ma-Irad, Mered, the prefix 'Ma-' indicating the
beyondness-of-grand, grandeur, finality ...
and possibly, Damkina Dawkina Da[uk]ina Dinah.
And our special insight on the removing of brothers at-40 to become
first-sons, suggests a new-and-better explanation, As Enlil Mahalaleel had been
born brother to Enki Cainan-moved-down, but then moved down to be his son, so
Mered Irad Jared was born originally into Enki Cainan's family as his first son,
second-first to former-brother-Enlil, and after Enlil's own Nanna-Suen Enan, so
Jubilees listed him third: of Cainan Enki....
(Irad's change-of-name to, Jared, was likely for the same reason
Enoch's name had been changed to, Enos,-- when he was moved from Cain's line to
Seth's line, down one-family, at 40-years ... but Mahalaleel's name wasn't
changed on his, move at 40, being already sired in Seth's line.)
(It is likely that Osiris' Grecized-name was a reduplication of
his name-title, already WS'R, Chief-Central-Eye, and pun, of Ra,
become Wsr-ws.)
(Note that, Mualaleth, also sounds very closely to, mW-alal-heth,
exposing an east-west cross-family Sumero-Egyptian-linguistic M-W-affinity....)
THE SUMERIAN-BABYLONIAN
HORROR-STORY OF CREATION-- WITH MORE CORROBORATIVE DETAILS:
The Enuma Elish, a record from the middle of Adam's first
millennium, related as from the beginning, recounted a major event in Jared's
time: Scholars translate it as "When on high" but it
has the more erudite sense of "From the top", though it reads plainly
as the 'Account of Elisha': it was actually the legal trial document in the
Tribulation of Marduk, for Marduk's mad-scientist approach in re-creating
mankind to serve them ... (the Enumeration by Elisha the
second-son of Enoch, per Jubilees, with Nanna-Suen Enan holding Marduk's trial a
century-after the rebellion).
The Sumerian record followed closely by subsequent
Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Ugaritic records almost as echoes, works out
from the middle because, they, were the grandchildren gods, a youth-generation
isolated by mixed lineage and of their self-identity-patterns, insulating
themselves and obsoleting the older generation Apsu Shw Yhwh and
Tiamut Tefnuit who had settled in Sumeria to be close to the royal family but
were elderly and needed much rest and found the young gods too rowdy day and
night ... Apsu plots with Mummu to cleverly subdue them, but Enki learns from
Mummu and thwarts Apsu by his murder, putting Tiamut on the warpath and the
young gods learn that great-great-mother and her commanders will
exterminate them and has created terrible insects and monsters to terrorize them
... Fearing death themselves, they implore Anu's father Anshar,
Egypt's Wsr ('oongsher') Osiris, Babylonian Assoros, Cain, for
advice, but fail it for fear... then, Lahmu Adam--...
So prepares the opening statements of Enuma Elish....
(It is not
definite whether Anshar was Cain Wsr, or whether Seth used the similar title in
Sumeria: Kishar would seem to be Isis, not Nephthys... Seth was
not-yet first-son, despite his parenthood over Sumerian-first-lineage
Enos Anu An, and despite becoming first-son in the event; and,- Seth was
purportedly busy ruling in Egypt, with Isis, missing this.... and
Anshar's focus on Enki and Marduk, Cain's sired lineage, surely indites Cain's
influence, flattery, and treachery, bidding Mummu put suggestions to Apsu that
would ultimately fool Enki, and thence grandson Marduk. Note. Cain's, identity,
is multiply in question: As Seth was away in Egypt much of the time, Cain Osiris
could have impostured as Seth, as Seth was old-enough to look like a twin ...
Something, someone, some act, had required Cain to wander again, possibly even
leaving Seth in some-charge in Egypt, thus rather keeping him away from his
usual security-duty for his older brother; i.e. Cain was scheming behind Seth's
back as well as taking his 28-year world-tour sabbatical from Egypt, civilizing
Sumeria, importing a population of mankind -and loud talk- ca 3100 BC.)
A character-check ... Why ... Ea Enki preemptively killed Apsu Shw
over a mere scheme to quiet the younger gods not amid battle; precursor to
Tiamut Tefnuit's creation of non indigenous vipers, reptilian
dragons, jackals, monsters, scorpions, (gathered from Egypt and propagated a few
years:- we also know the change in climate helped increase these in that era,
there) ...
-
Enki Ea's heritage seniority got him the full information of
the plot from Apsu's young conspirator Mummu (great-great-grandson of Apsu;
possibly
Wepwawet of Anu; aged Tiamat's little house-help;
possibly-but-probably-not her former husband Ra M'Amun,
by secret-name):
-
Though Enki was deemed wisest of the adult gods, he believed the worst
from children: including Mummu's 'shock-joke' suggestions that got Apsu to
smile and play-in but took Tiamat to surprise at the horror and play-out;
And Mummu may have weighted the worse-specifics;
-
Ra had been bitten by a snake and almost died but Isis healed him (or
relented from hating him) on the condition that he reveal his secret name--
ensuring that her children would receive more than mere heir-title; and Enki
Ea was not going to let Ra's son Shw shorten that title
(Enki possibly
knew Ra's secret name from Isis, possibly unbeknown to Shw, by which to
accomplish a takeover);
-
On Cain's side, Shw had sent Cain away over the death of Abel,- and
whence Enki Ea did not associate easily with Shw Yhwh;
-
Shw, in his later centuries, may have moved further eastward,
in Edin, crowding his own to avoid being confused with Ra in Africa;
-
Cain's prolonged re-residence in Sumeria became unwelcome
'loud talk' as Shw insisted he should continue wandering ...
-
Cain Osiris was talking-up his world-tour for creating mankind
civilizations, giving the young gods high-fancy titles-- which upset Shw;
-
Enki as Eve's Nephthys' second son was gullible to
believing every deadly-flattering excusal by Cain for being killed by older
brother Anu;
-
Cain Osiris Anshar, estranged son of Shw, was 'home', goading
them all,-- setting-up his new-court-intrigue among his intended players;
-
Shw may have ordered the workers' strike among his family
deltage gods the Igigi, to squelch the 'loud talk' of Cain's sons;
-
Shw's scheme (possibly it included sowing tares in the
field, as tares are not tasty: whence Christ Jesus' parable of the wheat and
tares), was something Shw had not thought-of and whence his grin at Mummu's
clever suggestion:- Shw was a first-lineage-son, but Mummu the youngster had
lots of authoritative relatives: he knew the torment of being just-another
god, living to their expectations, and continual daily adjustments; and how
such might affect the young gods' egos if they were to be upstaged: Mummu
was drilled in the why-and-wherefore: his suggestion -undocumented but
compare Tiamut's scheme,- was that, Shw sire a son by Isis and
bump the young gods' place: drive a wedge between Seth and sons, and sire
with Nephthys and drive a wedge between Anu and sons, (things Shw
would not do; Cain's own plan); They placed much confidence in their assumed
lineage structure, and high sons by Anubis' own mothers could be pernicious,
upon their theory, upstaging
them all; Anu's lineage-son Enki Ea found out; they were discontented
to revise their understanding, and it toppled their egos:-- Enki
Cainan, killed Shw, our original Biblical Lord Jehovah, and led Mummu around
on a leash and nose-pin like a pet lamb; second-murderer from the beginning
'before Abraham was'....
-
(Note also that young Mummu was not only subordinate to
family-at-large, but, until he reached 121 he had only
mankind-status in public).
(A note on Babylonian records:- There seems a rift
between names and characters: Lamu, apparently derived from dLamu
'damu Adam, was characterized as wicked, yet that might better characterize
Seth, in Egypt; Adam's wife Eve Nuit/Chwh Nuit, was like,
Tefnuit; but the Egyptian records are precedent that Tefnuit was the mother-of
"Mother" Eve Nuit,- and Babylon existed in Babel time. All records mix gender of
names, e.g. earthgods female-Ki vs. male-Keb, justice-gods male-Mot vs.
female-Maat; but god-names were titularly paired; both genders existed for each
name, if not both used, and whence heaven-gods Anu, Nu, but Adam Geb
not Nu, got wife Nut/Nuit....)
MARDUK, MAD-SCIENTIST EXTRAORDINAIRE-- RANKING
OF YOUTH TOO YOUNG TO BE A GOD, BECAME THEIR DIRECTOR:
At this point an underage god of ingenious designs stepped forward with a
counterplan to rid them of grandpa's widow Tiamut Tauith Tefnuit:--
Enki's first-son Marduk Merodach, -Cainan's third son
Mered, Enoch's Irad, Ellil Mahalaleel's Urda Jared,- displays all his clever
weaponries, including his invention of his primitive, flaming,
nitrated-pitch hand-cannon, the 'thunderous-lightning bolt',- and, proving his
devices sufficiently magical, the young gods approve him to lead on their
gruesome victory.... Coming to Tiamut's place, Marduk spies on their
proceedings, and calls, and great-mother comes out screaming ... he
nets her and sprays her with such a terrible stink, called, the East Wind,
-(Mrs. Eddy cured patients of the belief),- that she chokes and he spears her
... and the young gods bestow fifty nicknames of honor upon him; He hangs half
her body in the doorway covering the heavens, and maps out his redistricting of
Mesopotamia: her legs the sides of the Persian Gulf, her belly the
Hiddekel-Euphrates swamp, etc., gruesome.... Then, implements his
grand, plan: sacrificing a first-son of the gods unto the daughters of
men, creating a new, human race, to please and worship the young gods-- And
whence thus Marduk became, the new, Creator, god, of men, much-touted husband of
mankind: the Bel, Baal, Belial ... as before that time the gods had married only
among themselves, and hired, mankind....
(Bel Ellil was passive throughout the proceedings but
did confer his 'Bel'-title on Marduk at the conquerer's party.)
(Note that in his deference to Anu's despising their prior
female-important lineage system, Marduk would have sacrificed a senior, male
god,- purportedly the one who instigated the Igigi-gods work-strike, in some,
Sumerian versions,-- probably Cain promoting worker-civilizations; the
Enuma Elish indicates Qingu, Caingu, was first generation,
i.e. non primordial sired by Ra of Egypt, i.e. narrowly
first-lineage, marrying Tiamut and receiving back -of Anu,- the Tablet of
Destinies, their hardcopy of first-lineage chronology, that Cain had been early
deprived under Shw's decrees but Tiamut had been or become more-forgiving ...
and who had 40 children estimably 8-years apart over 130 + (38) × 8 =
434 years-- plus Horus, 40th, postmortem ... or possibly birth-twins
along the way.)
(Subnote that "first generation" may have distinguished precisely
that Cain had been firstborn but no longer first-lineage, in the Sumerian view.)
(Note six centuries later the sons of the gods were
themselves generally going unto the daughters of Marduk's new mankind:
Sumerian records specifically refer to the aboriginal mankind as
having the muscular-strength of 'clay'; their subsequent genetic-mix was
stronger and prettier; but also -Jasher reports- they were further
experimenting in hybridizing animal species, inspired by their
successes with gods and mankind.)
If we consider, why, Marduk
would kill his very-great-great-mother, though he seemed without
purpose at all but to garner the attentions of his immediate Elders bemoaning
the task -and they lavished it-... If, Marduk Mered was in-fact
Ma-Irad and first-sired of Cainan, and Mahalaleel second of Anu, he'd
have a strong albeit equally bad reason:-- Irad, or as
Jared, was determined more than his father to terminate the senior gods'
peremption of his imagined first-son right, an extension of
Enki and Ellil's argument... Marduk schemed to move a
shortstep: and when Tiamut retrieved the family Tablet of Destinies from Anu,
his imagined opportunity filled the void.... When Horus appeared a century
later, his lineage again suffered peremption, in the wink of an eye, but Horus
was strong, trained by Seth... and Jared's adoption of Horus
as Enoch of Cain Osiris not as of Ra who sired, prevented upstaging and assuaged
then-senior Sumerian anger a bit, as it seemed Apsu's and Tiamut's plots had
been carried out despite their murders; And confirms that Jared was
Cain's grandson Marduk through his father Cainan ... It is also notable how
Marduk enthusiastically adopted Cain's and Cainan's bad-example, killing a
fellow god and making-up with community service-- 'helping' civilize mankind...
But his subsequent genetic-mixing resulted in even-worse bad-examples.
(Note also a possibility that Tiamut may have ordered a halt to
senior-siring, upon Shw's death, preventing Ellil siring for Marduk in his
65th;-- which would put Shw's death before 14-years-before, Osiris Cain's ...
within-28, but a little more than our current estimate of 3-years-before.)
(Note alternatively for the moment: If, Marduk was
Mered first son of Cainan -and- not Ninurta Urda Jared of Mahalaleel, he would
have been a cousin-competitor:-- Both were labeled wargods, both retrieved the
Tablet of Destinies, both received fifty official titles, both were
Enki's sons; And, a scheme as would put him above his cousin after the lineage
had been lost by his father Cainan Enki to uncle Mahalaleel Ellil, may have been
his temptation and mens rea... However, Ninurta's stories are
fabulations of personlike animals, and he was not first son but of a
second wife, Yet, Enlil's first wife had been rejected by the council gods, as
too young;-- Possibly Enki had therefor adopted them into his own
lineage, adding his own first son Marduk Irad Mered third-in-line after he'd
himself lost lineage, whence Marduk Irad appeared as Ninurta Jared by Ellil, and
Enlil's first son Nanna-Suen, as Enan, Cainan's second.... The Sumerian record
is sketchy here possibly because of Marduk's power-take name-take, possibly
inserting himself twice into his most-immediate parents' succession, regaining
his first-son position by both... maybe they did not know who sired
Irad and Jared, by the same mother; Maybe the later record reflected additional
postbellum confusion.... Or alternative-alternatively,
possibly pre-historic-eventualities, other equally-bad reasons including
usurping Nanna-Suen in the first-place....)
(Subnote that millennia-later Babylonian records do distinguish
Irad from Jared, by planet-assignments, Marduk by Jupiter, Ninurta by Saturn ...
Albeit, however, the still-later-Roman records had Jupiter as Ju-piter
Amun, Shw-father Ra, the Greeks' Zeus, last, of Ra's lineage; and
modern scholars nearly-blaspheme by relating Marduk to Mars ...
planet-assignments are either evidence reliable or just not.)
TAKING THE SUMERIAN TANGENT ON LINEAGE:
Marduk's Enuma-Elish complaint against
Tiamat had been that she'd contrived a plan to take the destiny of the gods his
fathers, no mention of his mothers: Marduk had already mentally shifted to
peremptory male leadership even against mothers including Tiamat: This
had become the case since Enlil, as Jubilees records Mahalalel as first to marry
an out-lineage wife, a cousin *, and those-after did also. But at his trial
Marduk pled that he was merely doing Anshar's bidding: imputing Cain or Seth
with, instigating the murder of Tiamut... Nevertheless the wording reads
Marduk's amplification of Anshar's intents: the word translated 'conquer' may
have meant 'dissuade the decree of a senior' ... Cain Anshar Wsr ('oongsher')
was first-lineage, first father of Anu, sire of Cainan Enki Ea
Nudimmud (familiar), and whence grandfather of Irad Mered Marduk ... and,
playing dual roles, changing attires to be also Qingu, requiring -even usurping-
the Tablet of Destinies. **
* (There is-yet their lineage seniority twist that Anu's sons
were his own brothers and therefor Mahalalel's first-'cousin' was his in-lineage
sister.)
** (Note that the Enuma Elish, though it did not specify
Apsu Shw's plot, clearly indicated Tiamut Tefnuit's equipollent plot
with-and-using Qingu, her commander and new husband after Shw's demise, taking
the Tablet of lineage-Destinies, from Anu, and bestowing this upon Qingu, by her
new baby-to-be, And thus obtruded Marduk's wargod-cleverness whereby he should
commit double murder where his elders had failed even to approach Tiamut about
her intentions: Marduk sprayed stink in Tiamut's face but aimed his spear at
killing the baby in her belly: Her, death was easy collateral ... But subnote
also that her only choice of husband to accomplish her plot, was, Cain
Qing-U himself Anshar Alorus playing both sides disguised under two of
his many names:- To pull lineage, she had to preempt Anshar's
sub-lineage child Anu of unmarried Nephthys: she had to marry Cain herself; and
with Shw gone the possibility opened....
Character-analysis suggests that Qingu's reluctance at
Marduk's arrival, letting Tiamut face Marduk alone, was his setup -inditing Cain
surely;- Tiamut Tefnut's verbal confrontation style had survived the
loss of Tefen... That she risked demise at the hands of young wargods, reappears
thematically in Jesus having Peter carry a dirk to ensure his, trial, outcome.)
Subnote: Remarriage to any
firstborn other-than Cain Osiris, would have merely started a
sub-lineage: Thoth in continuing Shw's, a child would follow Adam; Adam putting
her secondary to Eve, a child would follow Seth ... Tiamut's lineage theory had
had the effect of totally confusing the young gods and proving -in murder- their
irrationality paying little attention to their family-studies ... Anu
did relinquish the Tablet of Destinies....
(Secondary subnote: A Late Period, Egyptian record,
however-reliable that may come so late, claims, that Tefnuit Tiamut became
pregnant by Geb Adam after Shw's demise: Apparently,
Qingu, did-not, sire, but Adam Geb in rare exhibition
of character more than cackling, had insisted Tefnuit immediately recover the
family lineage by taking a replacement husband in Adam's own line, consummated
by having a child ... Thoth's responsibility was outline, Geb Adam
would sire under their lineage rules ... the Egyptian record
translates to Geb violating Tefnut but probably meaning deforced, and that,
preventing Cain by seniority ... Each step, off their
original plan, made its impression on younger generations....
A year can be estimated for this but comes up slightly less
certain what Adam Geb was trying to accomplish: as it came so late on
his schedule:- Adam may have sired into Seth's branch line for Qingu Cain, to
recover its loss due to the vengeance rule, 455+40=495, 5-years before
Adam escaped the rebellion, where Cain had sired several already and Isis would
surely complain of Seth again; Maybe Adam counted Tiamut as
5-years offset into Cain's line because he knew her rank,
455+40+5=500 ... or, maybe as Ra had ceased siring with
Tiamut Tefnuit long ago and Thoth had taked Shw's place but Shw had
already sired with her, Adam took first-position and subrogate-sired
promptly first ... Adam's correct position was 2nd-senior, both because Adam
himself was exactly that old and because Thoth had replaced Shw, So, maybe he
sired 8-years-offset, creating for Cain's next son a branch at 32-years, at the
same total 40-years offset as Seth's son Enos, because Cain had
already sired on the main branch, Tefnut becoming his second-branch-wife...
Tefnut's complaint about Adam Geb may have been over 5-years
additional, or maybe because Adam preempted
newly-first-lineage Thoth replacing Shw, Shw having also moved to
and stayed at Ra's first-year position; or maybe that Shw, had actually sired it
as part of his plot with Mummu, and Adam had stepped-in and over-sired it to
divert it into Cain's family.... The difficulty in this computation, is that
Tefnuit was formerly Adam and Eve's mother and any offset should have applied to
their-birth: meaning Adam and Eve may have been born 5-years-later than record
but recounted to the beginning of their generation after-which Eve's mothering
5-months-late, went unnoticed in the year-records ...
Tiamut's sibling-rank was either information
on her primordial generation, or assumed as for lineages since
Cain's Enoch's short-generation of 40-years, for which mothers were offset
5-years over the regular multiples-of-8,- as her baby was to be born as into
Enos' generation, even to replacing him, but not Enoch's generation ...
But-then-again sired by Adam ahead of the main cycle, meant a
daughter-sister-wife to Jared Irad Marduk's son, because a son there might-not
be first-lineage.)
(Adam had become 2nd-rank-senior-sire when there were six seniors
behind him, ca year-500: Cain, Seth, Enoch Enos counted once only in the
Council's offset-repacked schedule, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared; and Jared's son
born in the prior generation would be the new father-sire. Thoth had replaced
Shw as 1st-rank-senior-sire, at the beginning this generation, we estimate the
2nd-year ... Ra had shifted-out, previously.)
(Tertiary subnote: Qingu had forty children, Tiamut seven; Qingu
was first-generation: not Ra's, nor Shw's where brother Thoth
was second, nor the Sumerian-next-generation under Apsu and Tiamut,
including unknown male siblings after Adam; The young-gods' generation would
include Anshar Cain's siblings. And although it had been assumed by
Enki Ea, and thence Anu, Ellil, and Marduk, that Shw and later Tiamut's plan was
war upon them, she with her army lead by Qingu, it remains an open question
whether she'd merely intended to enforce the law on the Tablet of Destinies:
-destroying at-most their lineage, not, their persons:- The Tablet had been
given to Anu, and Tiamut retrieved it from him, but Anshar Cain father of Anu
was there, who'd been personally denied the Tablet, for killing Abel, and it was
Anshar instigating the rebellion via Marduk.... The Sumerian does not record
Anshar's death, but Qingu's, as instigator for encouraging Tiamut: Yet, Tiamut
was not recorded as rebelling... It seems both the Egyptians and Sumerians were
foisting the blame on Seth while the evidence implicates their, motive,
opportunity, and means. Marduk was later put on trial -in still very fragmented
Babylonian records- by Ellil's actual-first son Nanna-Suen et al, but,
apparently released.... Anu had had the Tablet probably as
the youngest sire-of-a-god; Enki was not-yet so qualified, as Marduk
was not-yet old enough to be, a god... Or, maybe, simply, further indicative
that Enos was the indicator for the Sumerian branch lineage: the oldest of the
youngsters in the difference.)
(A quatertiary subnote: In the Egyptian angle on this story, Geb
Adam himself was about to become king by taking deceased, Shw's, place, but his
retinue was killed by the headdress-royalty and only himself escaped, injured;
No mention of Osiris, infers Adam, was Qingu in the Egyptian perspective; And
taking kingship infers Osiris was subordinate to Shw Apsu and Tefnut
T-Mwt Tiamut, and name, Qingu, was titularly assigned; Adam's retinue
killed, meant Eve and Cain Anshar Osiris, were killed; And Adam
injured, meant Qingu was injured, not-killed, if not another.... It
nevertheless appears more-likely, that, Moses' referential source for the name,
Cain/Qyn, was, Qingu; cf Qing-U and son Ang-U: king, and
lord.)
(A quintiary subnote: The Biblical record of Adam and Eve being
cast from the garden, and the placing of the cherubim and flaming sword, may
have recorded the rejection by Marduk et al, of Adam et al attempting to
stabilize Shw's line, whence he quit not just for injury but for rejection of
his lineage ... apparently the Ra-Cain line was already accusing the
Shw:Adam-Abel:Seth line of causing the rebellion in Sumer.)
(Also note, in Marduk's rebellion, we detect the
precondition to Babel wherein words already pliant in tongue forked into errors
of thought: Marduk was the prototypical cheaply-educated risky-youth-terrorist,
fascinated with technical-destruction of verbally-established seniority: Sending
underage Marduk to annoy Tiamut for unreasoned demands, was a scam by one of the
fast-tracking middle-management gods; Failure to complete the later tower at
Babel, was attributed to Enki Cainan, but would have been in retribution for
Marduk's rebellion ... By Marduk calling Tiamut, The Dragon of
Chaos, we see her depicted wrinkly, lounging the day living in the chaos abyss
rift in the mountain.)
(Subnote. The abyss,
Absu, was a rift in the east mountain, later washed in the flood,
later hiked by Gilgamesh, later forgotten, but also had the sense of a great
deep, underground, originally the abrupt drop of the western slope of the Hejez
range down into the Red Sea deepwater-filled gulf-rift: In dividing the lands,
Ptah and Ra had taken west, Africa and the Nile, Shw got the Gulf of Aqaba and
Red Sea middle whence he was later titularly Apsu lord of the
absu, Geb Adam got the Pishon and Mesopotamian rivers eastward in
Eden, the gradual near-level slope across the Arabian subcontinent
dunes that was their 'flat Earth' steppe ... Cain went east but wandered, His
first-son Enos got the eastmost mile-high plateau overlooking, where he was
literally Anu the god of the up-heaven mountain ... And as apparently
intended historic reference proof, both Ptah's Egypt Memphis and Adam's Edin
garden on the Pishon were at 30±0.1°N. And, further
west-and-north, Ptah and the old gods retired to the Mediterranean sea islands,
and ultimately to the Atlantic ocean and around the world....)
(Secondary subnote: A variant to the Enuma
Elish, the Magan Text, an expansive document classified as a fiction, specifies
the rift, as, where, Apsu's "body was lain in an empty space in a crevice of the
heavens" mountains, -curiously expository detail if fiction-...
Similarly the Ordeal of Marduk refers to him being incarcerated in the
"lips of the mountain", the gated 'Khaos' abyss which had belonged to Apsu and
Tiamat. Other, cuneiform texts give measurements of 50 kaspu 300 miles
length, 1 kaspu upslope 1 mile high, 9-foot width, a 14-foot depth of water, but
their tablets are extremely fragmented and likely refer rather to the winding
coils of the Karun River,- especially as Gilgamesh walked twice as tall.)
(Tertiary subnote, The Magan Text also mentions Enki
Cainan telling Marduk, Ra's secret name, number, and shape, whereby to battle
Tiamut; But this would imply that Isis had pulled her snake-trick and gotten
these two-decades before her baby Horus' time;- indicting Isis as well ...
The text also depicts Marduk's disk by-which he surprised Tiamut with
her own image, like later Horus' sundisk, But intensity diverges, in this case.)
AND THUS WAS THE END OF THE FIRST, WORLD ORDER:
A note on Shw Apsu Jehovah's character: The
Egyptians and Sumerians portrayed him as an airheaded crank:- He'd objected to
Eve Nuit's marriage to Adam Geb because she'd objected to his overtures to her:
Eve could understand becoming wife to her brother, and even beget children for
senior Ra, but not for her father and uncle Thoth; Shw sent Cain away over the
death of sibling Abel, but Ra wasn't sure that Cain had actually killed, Abel;
Shw complained of the young gods' 'loud talk', and even plotted their demise
with young Mummu, to amuse himself, upsetting his wife Tiamut ... Shw was
closest to the family and charged with building lineage, but had to wait on Ra
without second-guessing; and Ra had millennia-more experience at making
decisions seem small-but-effectual: Shw seemed to be a disproportionate,
amateur-Ra ... administrative middleman, executive imitator without a clearcut
purpose, because it was family first; and Shw tended to push historic
events.
(Eve's complaint for father Shw siring with her was obviated by the
fact that he was so-old he was second-most-senior.)
(Note: Awan, sired by uncle Thoth, her name meant
"Iniquity"... Modern broad society classifies that as incest, but their society
was narrow and whence it was iniquity, an unbalanced estate for Eve.... Egyptian
mnemonic used for remembering that story was that Shw decreed Eve should have no
children 360 days a year, but Thoth pointed-out there were 365 days in a year
and thence she had five children, one for each extra... 'til she had nine more.
But we also see that their marriages were not young-man-marriages but
retirement-extensions which ordinary mankind did not understand in moral or
report: Much of the Egyptian record, though archaic, seems a memorized banal
version retold by later-mankind.)
And, we also perceive the lot of the scribe and priest in
version-methods for remembering all those details humankind did-not
understand....
(A research subnote: Jubilees' 364-day year may have subtly
intended that, as Abel was killed by Cain, only-4 of-5 days were addable to
360.)
Note the Greek record picked-up that, Ra, sired Osiris
Cain and Elder Horus Abel, and Thoth sired Isis Awan, and whence, iniquity,
meant out-lineage as Thoth was at that time second-son though he later replaced
Shw; and Geb Adam sired only Seth and Nephthys Azura....
Reinforcing this interpretation, is the name of the younger
sister, Nephthys -in Latin, Neptis,- meant 'granddaughter' ie. Shw's
lineage-granddaughter ... and possibly Awan's Egyptian name-title Aset Asheth
being near-reduplicated in Set Seth meant Seth was also-replacement for Isis
taken away as both Seth and Asheth were second-lineage till someone
first-lineage, Cain, Shw, pass-away.... Note the Egyptians have
rather, that Shw, sired, Abel.... Seniority-cross-marriaging was
by-design to ensure maximum genetic-and-gender diversity in case of
first-lineage failure, and ensured new babies in the family at regular intervals
... Eve's rank created from Adam's rib (*) was thus equal
him in heritage computation by god-parts, not second....
In-any-case it is known today that inbred heritage is
not-exactly-50-50% between the mother and the father, But Ra's real
concern was for equity in building-up the ruling family lineage....
* (The exact interpretation is, -and Jubilees
concurs,- that, as a rib of Adam is born at the same time as the body, and of
the same genetics, but individuated, so, Eve, was Adam's birth-twin, and
lookalike, and her lineage-rank and sibling-to-parenting-rank were the same
zero-year-offset; And thus also correcting-out a statement
Rev. Eddy made about Jehovah changing methods for reproduction of children ...
it was unchanged ... Rev. Eddy simply being more spiritually-minded,
read-through the twisted wording to perceive that there are, other methods we
know today....)
Secondary note, seniority-progression measured
additional grandeur in lineage-demonstration: Firstborn lineage had the oldest
genetics and fewest sires, at the eldest ages ... and firstborn living apart,
the universe worlds were for the first-lineage to conquer and settle ... and
then own. Quite possibly this has been the practice twelve billion
years since the first family by our first home-star in our galaxy or
the cosmos-preceding. (Note that the possibility of immortality may
have achieved much greater than 900 or 9000, years, even 90,000,
but also intones that they knew something more-significant from the beginning of
time in the cosmos more than 9,000,000,000 years ago.)
We do not yet have an assured
estimate of the year of Shw's death, but while Cain was returned, late in his
last 28-years: The story-intensity reads like about-3-years before
Tiamut's death ... For Cain to have built Sumer, ingratiated himself with his
offspring, Tiamut to be incited to action, and Adam Geb's decision and action
... But Adam's action was on a specifically-disputed schedule following Shw's
death, of senior-siring with Tiamut Tefnuit ca year-498-499 --within 9-months of
her death,-- and before ca year-500 for Cain Osiris' death
shortly thereafter.
A best-estimate on the age of Shw is somewhat
contrived, amid conflicting discoveries yet-to-be-resolved ... But
simplest, is-- Shw, and Thoth, following the senior-sire rule for Abel
and Awan Isis, had sired immediately after Ra, before the 5-seniors gap--
implicating Shw and Thoth old-enough to sire that-early, as seniors
65-years-or-more apart siring 8-years apart ... therefor, Shw was
at-least-455-years older than Adam; But, computation through the prior gaps in
Ra's lineage has turned-up that Shw may have been a generation more,
520-536 years older, and Thoth, Shw's birth-twin, Mwt Tefnuit's second
son, in lieu of first daughter, -whence Ra even decided and allowed, Thoth, to
sire, from his 'minutes late' second lineage, to maintain the balance of
genetics after Shw sired son Abel instead of a daughter sister-wife to
Cain, (Thoth was said to be a "Form of Shw," i.e. lacking only the mark of
first-lineage from birth)-... therefor Shw lived at-least-952 or 1017-1033,
years, 'til ca Adam's 497th. (The 520-536 and 1017-1033 precision,
is allowing that their earliest records counted 12-moons-per-year refined to
800-moons-per-65 before arriving,-- and as-such, estimates a limit to Ptah's
telescope resolving-clarity for observing our Earth, moon, and sun, at a
light-year's distance-- where they'd have measured lunar months
only by the sidereal-year calendar moons: before they could also measure Earth's
axial precession.)
This estimate is possibly exact, including Shw's
passing in 497, given Jubilees' record of Adam being born in the 6th (year) of
the week before the first jubilee, if their calendar was registered to their
arrival at Earth just 29 weeks ×7 = 203 years earlier (or off by exactly 7 more)
... the 203 being 8-years more than three generations 3×65 = 195, implicates the
usual sire-schedule-transfer, from Ra's branch to Shw's branch, but with Ra
preempting Shw at the head of Shw's branch their new-main-branch ... i.e. they
arrived on Ra's calendar, and switched to Shw's.... The year
discrepancy in Adam's birth may have occurred during the 9-day transition from
their preceding 666×12-moon-lunar-year-generation calendar.
(Note that Jubilees is translated as spelling-out "day" of
the week, rather than "year" as used next, but such accuracy is anomalous for
that early era, and the six days for Adam being introduced to all the animals to
understand and name them, and then to Eve and learn that she is to be his wife,
required years, not days,-- and was possibly a similar translatory mistake in
the Sumerian records of the gods: confusing days and years.)
And such was the last and the end of the first Yhwh on Earth, and
his wife and mother ... Later Jehovahs were merely later-contemporary Lords.
REBELLION IN THE EAST:
Egyptian records mention it. An Egyptian
phrase says, Osiris had shut-in Geb and Nut on the day of the slaughter....
A variant implicated that a rebel-driven bull dozed the
house: trampling Osiris.... And Adam quit for the Tuat, west, taking his lineage
into silent perpetuity: the young gods had let him go: he had saved
their lineage -if only by a legal stretch, as technically Adam Geb's parents and
wife were dead; and he, injured-....
So, Marduk, first son of Ea Enki Cainan,
became the new leader of the gods and keeper of the tablet of
destinies ... Mahalaleel Ellil, while Anu, Enki, Ellil, had lorded near-equally,
had become known as greatest, (the Ma-prefix records his greatness:
Ma-Ellil great-Ellil), Bel, to aboriginal mankind on the Edin
steppe below Anu's heaven, before Marduk prevailed and took their title-names
including the 'Bel' title (hence Bel was the first
son of Enki, twice: Enlil 'Bel' #1, and Marduk 'Bel' #2) and
the M-prefixed M'Iraduk ... And according to the Sumerian, another younger Enki
later became confused with Cainan Enki....
Whether Cainan Enki Ea lost lineage-primacy to
Mahalaleel, in killing Apsu Shw, is not apparent though he did not have to move
away as Cain had in killing Abel.... Marduk was put on trial, and the Enuma
Elish was the libel ... another god was deemed culpable, and Marduk exonerated.
But, in the Egyptian view, and by the Rule of Vengeance, the Sumerians
were cut-off from the first-family lineage and fabricating their own....
NB. We begin to see why Cainan Enki did
not at-first correlate in name, Enki Ea, a compound name in later Babylonian
times meaning Lord of the Land-waters: he'd been Enki-nun En-Ki-nun
Lord-Cainan of the Land-river-underground waters. Furthermore, the
Mosaic recording method had changed from mother to father: Originally the god
lineages related from mothers, as was obvious and incontrovertible, whereas
fatherhood could be concealed.... Reexamination of Biblical records thiswise,
reveals surprisingly good corroboration: Cain's and Seth's lineages were by
their sisters-- Cain's sisters' first sons were Enoch, whose son was
Irad, followed by Mehujael Horus; while Seth's sister's first sons were Enos,
whose first son was Cainan, and possibly Mahalaleel of Nephthys-dub Mua-laleth,
then Jared Marduk, and, Enoch Horus. (Note, a third-century-BC
Babylonian-priest-scholar correlated earliest Ea to later Oannes, as would be
derived from the earlier Egyptian nun, primordial waters, and the Sumerian
suffix nun, for branching river waters; and an historical clue to Biblical
Cainan's era: Oannes, Ea-Nun, came from the gulf after the flood and
reconstructed civilization anew. However, said priest-scholar also
equivalenced Oan and Thalatta to Apsu and Tiamut.)
Marduk, was later killed by Mot, (possibly
corresponding to Egyptian Thoth's wife Maat's name meaning truth,
justice, cosmic order, "things as they ought to be;" but also to the name of the
great-mother goddess he slew, Tiamut Tia-mwt); probably because he'd later
killed Mot's brother seagod Yamm Yam-Nahar for blackmail taking
post-Seth Ishtar Astarte and a dowry of Nut's necklace and Geb's
signet ring in Egypt;- Marduk Baal had moved to Egypt, the delta area where was
his place as King Surid Yrd Jared, and eventually three great pyramids, two in
his time....
THROUGH THE EGYPTIAN 'TELESCOPE':
Meanwhile, The fallout from Marduk's revolt left the young gods in charge,
And, per the Egyptian record, Geb Adam and
Osiris Cain took the opportune lull to escape: Geb for mid north
Africa, and Osiris returned to his Egypt, and Isis --after 28 years--... But now
Seth was waiting for him, along with granduncle Thoth and a queen
from the south, and seventy-two male servants, and a big party, and a
game with one winner--
And a prize mocking-tricky ambush that got Cain into a sealed chest floating
down the Nile, --before Cain could have his own son by Isis, that would upset
Seth's takeover so cleverly arranged--... The chest was found on a seashore,
years later, and Isis retrieved it, opened it and left it
outside, -probably because it stank,- But, then Seth got hold of the body and
separated and hid its parts from proper burial, (technically, Seth, believing
his hands clean of the murder, by having men, ambush Cain and incarcerate him in
a sealable box,- providing only the lures and the men's inducements: not
directly killing him)... While we do not have record of what happened to the men
afterward, it was probably that which inspired men-kind to later rebel against
the gods, in Egypt:-- Egyptian references characterize Seth as the
embodiment of evil;-- and whence the term, Satan Seth-An, is understandable in
Christ Jesus' complaint, Get thee behind me, Satan: Seth-an
Seth-lord'ed: Jesus was alert to a broader Egyptian record, having
sojourned there with his parents.
(Note, the cedar chest was purportedly
fused-into a Tamarisk tree rooted at low tide, already a rapid-growth tree
achieving full height in about two year-seasons, the weighty swaying press of
the heavy chest caught floating in the water encouraging even greater growth of
the tree trunk around it becoming something of a prize-find; But if Isis had
immediately traced the Nile current, she could have located it within that time
and completed her burial plans; We need research further, what took
her 20 years to recover the body and be sure it was Cain's not Shw's,
but the strong indication is that the child was to be sired precisely
into Ra's 65-year-synchronous first-lineage schedule ca 520 = 8 × 65.)
So, Calling on her sister Nephthys and her child Anubis Enos Anu with his
hunting jackal, Isis searched for and retrieved Osiris' body parts all but the
crucial one, purportedly fed to a fish, and she fashioned that of wood, and got
her child Horus Enoch thereby.... In faint allusion, to how Jehovah Yhwh Shw got
Adam's sister Eve, from his rib, Enos embalmed, wrapped and perfumed
Osiris Cain's body, to overcome its stench, and Isis got Ra to supply the
man-seed, and taking Osiris' body, thereby, got her child Horus Ra-Horakhty son
of Ra in deceased-Cain Osiris' lineage, his declared father; (and
another gruesome story, and whence Egypt's subsequent fascination with
embalming, necromancy, and the afterlife, and rapt wrapped mummies
figuring-in).... So, Isis did get Horus by Cain, by, with, his body, but of, Ra,
the source god on Earth. (But they were all, of Ra and his wife, by inbred
lineage, so far:- naught but a few gene-code flukes, among
forty-thousand, might tell today.)
(Note that Horus deemed father-sired by dead-Osiris,
on Ra's main schedule, involves a contradiction-- Cain had sired Cainan offset
24-years, skipped Mahalaleel on his 16th, Jared on his 8th, none on his '0th',
and pseudo-sired Horus not, on his '-8th' of the main schedule ... Explication
involves arguments of view-- that they'd resumed the main schedule and Ra
surrogate-sired for Thoth replacing Shw but Osiris Cain subrogate-sired for Ra,
-and fathered, Horus-... Or, that Osiris Cain came back-to-life for a day -on
the main schedule:- as was Isis' primary pretense....)
And Isis escaped with her child into the Egyptian bush and hid him
decades from Seth, and taught him by both mothers herself and Nephthys....
(Note, The Egyptian record is rather-less-than-consistent on this:
In many versions Isis had a son before, the body was recovered; And she had
lesser-sons: It is possible but nowhere stated that Horus-of-Ra could have been
of-Seth while he took her into his house as he became lineage-'firstborn'
replacement for Osiris-upon-death; Or of-Thoth as he became lineage-'firstborn'
replacement for Shw.... Isis may have later pulled her preemption with Ra, to
supersede a lesser-one... and then Seth pulled the other way.... However, Their
lineage system -purpose- had not made such a preemptive move possible: Lineage
rule was to propagate the line, nearest-first; But, the Sumerian 'renegades' had
gotten disruptive of rules, murdering-up the lineage ... the prototype renegade
having been Sumerian-Egyptian Cain Osiris himself.)
(Subnote that both could have happened: Isis may have constructed a
situation that violated their legal-notion of one-sire-only, to exclude Seth.)
(Note Enos Anu Anubis' double life, in double places:-- Anubis
in Egypt was 'a boy and his dog' hunting jackal, far-junior to everyone,- with
two mothers, a younger and her older sister foster-mother whose
own later first son was of Ra, all the elder gods there far-outranking
him, -but that was doting freedom, too;- while Anu in Sumeria was
top-rank of the young gods, First Watcher, first son of great visiting god
Alorus Elhorus of Egypt,-- whom the Sumerians record as the very first
having ruled 45 Sars followed by lessers on lesser schedules....)
THROUGH THE SUMERIAN 'MICROSCOPE'--
CORRECTING THE RECORD FOR THE EGYPTIANS, TOO:
But an epitaph, note: The Book of Jasher "the corrected record"
referred-to in Joshua, redepicts Cain's end:- Lamech had become related to
Cainan, by taking his two daughters for wives, and when he was old he could not
see that it was "Cain" approaching him in the field where he was hunting with
young Tubalcain for guide, and his poor-sighted arrow killed 'Cain', and the
Book depicts this as it were justice. But then this Cain, is called,
grandfather, yet Cain was Lamech's great-great, grandfather, beyond
600 by time Tubalcain was born by Zillah when she was very old; Yet
Jasher and Jubilees allow that Cain died in the same year as Adam (Cain's
864th), but Jubilees, his house fell on him, that might refer to the bulldozing
the same year Adam left ca 500, Cain 435;
if-not Lamech's stonehead arrow: Possibly the Egyptians did not have a full
story; possibly the chest was in ceremonious procession with pallbearers, dumped
in the Nile to drift away; yet the ages better fit the Egyptian record, as
Jasher claims Adam passed in Lamech's 56th year-- not very old....
So, Lamech's kill might have been Cainan 910, grandfather of Tubalcain,
'justice' for Cainan killing Jehovah not Cain killing Abel,-
but does not really explain why Lamech or Tubalcain 'spotted' a god as
an animal.... Jasher goes on to say Lamech's wives sought to kill him, and that
father Adam reconciled them but who would be some-other
head-father for Cainan ...unless... the whole story was a disguise for
another killing in Adam's own family and Adam reconciled them by telling them,
"Say, it was Cain, for having killed Abel,"-- to make of it a story with a manly
moral-- as Adam's legacy: for Adam himself died that same year.
(The reconciliation by Adam appears to have been sufficient to
exonerate Lamech who then fathered Noah, but not Tubalcain through Kainam; The
Rule of Vengeance must have applied to Tubalcain, who confirmed the shot, but
not to Lamech who released the shot at Tubalcain's say;- Lamech had
reasoned that he could rely absolutely on another's ability, and it appears
reasoning prevailed in his era which misunderstood the rule of 7-fold -not 77
fold- vengeance ... and even Lamech's 7th, Kainam's exclusion was called into
question by Jubilees ... but then later Eber, Kainam's
next-65-year-generation son maybe should have been excluded too: it's a
close-call on Lamech's birth, in their messy-calendar-era.)
(The existence of such detailed records -from which Jubilees might
attempt a revised lineage,- suggests yet-more may yet be known today....)
In fact, this appears to have happened:- Isis assumed a
fact-too-far (two-too-far, considering her classification of Seth as a 'fiend'),
and got a nearly-correct story except for the detail of who actually killed
Osiris, and how ... and yet there was, a party and, there were tricks
employed,--
Isis laments in an Egyptian record that, her mother Nuit
Eve is in "aqert" (dead), father Geb Adam is in the "tuat" (a
Saharan oasis), and elder brother-husband Osiris Cain is in the sarcophagus
(dead), while she tends baby Horus for an insect sting: with Ra's
'first son' Thoth's help; Yet there is no record of Eve passing, Egyptian,
Sumerian, Biblical, but a clue,-- The millennium-later
Babylonian Enuma Elish, (estimably derived from the Sumerian), lists Lahmu Adam
and Lahamu Eve, and Anshar Cain their firstborn, all alive at the time of
Marduk's plot ... but Apsu Shw deceased whence Thoth's ascendance;
Isis' lament followed Osiris Anshar's death, a small number of years
after he'd returned from 28 years absence-residence including Sumeria
... thus Eve Lahamu's death must have been very proximate to Tiamut's,
but unnoticed in the overthrow.
Marduk ordered
Qingu Cain killed, not appreciating his pretended feint from assisting Tiamut in
her final moment; which, explains, how, Cain's "house fell on him," after Tiamut
moved-in on her new husband, --and Marduk rolled some boulders down
the mountain, crushing houses,-- and Seth's procession back to Egypt with 72 men
bearing Osiris' body in an already-lead-sealed sarcophagus, -the cause Isis then
disputed,- and, Lahmu Adam's altogether-exit within 3-quick-years
...
And the trick:-- Seth was alone, the young gods refusing to
help, Adam injured, and mankind balked at touching a dead god, so Seth
had them 'trick' the body on straps, into the chest, while facing away and not
sober... and he had them test the balancing procedure by putting each in the
chest momentarily with a tottering scare and selecting 72-men for uniformity of
stature (the promise of ownership, whomever it fit, keeping their
menial minds preoccupied), probably 3-rotations, paired each end of six poles,
for a thirty-day thousand-mile journey to Egypt ... The party was Cain Osiris'
funeral party, probably in the Sumerian fashion for mankind kings ...
Most probably, Seth was innocent of the murder of his
older brother Osiris Cain at the end of Marduk's revolt in Sumeria, caring only
to return the body to Egypt ... which Isis not only misconstrued but blamed him
for not-better watching Osiris' back, in Sumeria, (a task assumed to
the younger brother); she contrived it as having happened in Egypt or
unmentioned to cover her own concerns and involvement in Sumerian war-politics
(which-side Osiris nWsr/Anshar Alorus/El-Horus
'Cain'/Qyn/Qingu * took there); And history took its toll on her
omission of statement.
* (Note: Qingu, was probably Cain's title-name,
meaning, 'cane-goer, wanderer who goes among the reed-spears', the Euphrates
marshland: It may have derived in replacement for
deceased Shw's first-time-lord name, Khonsu, or, Cain's
full name, Qyng-U or Qyng-of-Yhw/Shw.)
(Note that although Thoth's ascendance also moved Isis
Awan up lineage, she remained second-first to her younger sister Nephthys.)
(Subnote, Osiris Qingu's missing body part, was used in the
Sumerian young gods' first experiment at mass-generation of mankind;
Egyptian records agree that Osiris invented men in the early era,
which might intone the same or, might indicate Osiris' additional motive in his
28-year travel,-- to generate mankind... which Marduk then considered and used
that part of Qingu ... Marduk figured or was told that as the children
of Cain Qingu were successively larger and stronger, the same would apply to
breeding with mankind; Egyptian Khnum may have suggested it.)
(Secondary subnote, Osiris' very-long absence from
Egypt, out civilizing the world, -indeed not returning till he was dead,-
suggests possibly his admission to Ra, of having murdered his brother Abel
centuries earlier; or, -more likely- that he had been expelled, by Ra, for
attacking Seth the replacement for Abel: in renewed-anger per an Egyptian story
... and 'wandered' back to Sumer alone from Isis and away from Seth in Egypt, to
restart in one of his earliest-built houses; and thence Cain Qingu instigated
Shw's murder by his sired son Cainan.... Note also, Cain
Osiris' 28-years return in Sumer was about the same duration
that Abel had lived there, 25-32, according to the Book of Jubilees,
before he struck again.)
(Sidenote Isis' accusation that Seth 'tricked'
Osiris, meaning not the infamous party-prize story but his failure as younger
brother in his job as security chief for Osiris:- under thorough analysis
turns-up a 'trial-of-six-millennia' presently redacted as our newest feature
movie screenplay: Briefly, Seth's responsibility as acting first-son in Cain's
absence from Shw's passed-on lineage instruction, put Seth in the pivotal
conflict-of-interest to protect grandmother Tiamat from Cain's sons' pending
revolt instead of protecting Cain: because Seth understood as Marduk did not,
that the murder of Tiamat would cancel Cain's lineage unless Cain marry Tiamat
and replace Shw: thus making it Cain's responsibility to protect Tiamat as her
husband and commander-- which Cain, then failed, not Seth.... And Seth then
passed the information to Horus Enoch:- the evidences indicting Cain's
deliberate arrangements, leaving Seth to protect Isis in Egypt, a little
enticement of rulership, while Cain left to coerce Mummu to conspired with Apsu,
and Enki to murder Apsu, and Tiamut to marry him and take the Tablets and Marduk
to murder her... That Seth was ruling in Egypt the while and not by
Osiris, is fairly certain when Seth's rulership years are accounted...
Otherwise see that Isis' said accusation may have extended-to and
included Seth's insufficient legal, control, of great-great-grandson Marduk ...
against enticement.)
AND ... NOW, THE SONS OF JARED-- NOW THAT WE KNOW THEIR
SCHEDULE:
Jared should have had a firstborn at 65,
ranked to 105 in Seth's branch-lineage before the Rebellion whereafter the
Sumerian wives withheld themselves ... Or born later.... The Bible says, Enoch
came 162 years after Jared, but Jubilees instantly disagrees by a hundred and
says 61, sooner by 4 years than Nabu the son of Marduk, Sumerian records
indicate by a reluctant wife... Enoch may have preempted, Nabu, when he
arrived.... But the century discrepancy opens a challenge:- Maybe Moses' scribes
indicated a wrong number by a mark resembling a century: they'd expected a
minimum 65; maybe Moses' scribes had a parallel record that rejected Jared Irad
Mered Marduk Bel, and reached back to Mahalaleel's real birth, but it too is
short 4-years ... or maybe Moses' scribes had conflicting information on Enoch--
as we will indeed find that Enoch is more pivotal and confusing to the whole of
Biblical history hereafter: Enoch didn't even arrive in Sumer for another 65,
years, and the Bible may have his arrival year since Jared Marduk's real, birth,
162 years ... And, topping that,
Osiris Cain was on his 28-year world-tour and unavailable to sire for Jared,
albeit quite possibly he was there incognito, and, Seth would not sire
when his surrogate was gone ... As there is no hint of Nabu
having older sisters, we'll take an estimate that Nabu was sired by Anu or later
with the reluctant wife....
(The Book of Jasher does in fact drop the century and as well a
century from later Methuselah fathering Lamech, but drops none from Lamech; The
interpolation of births at the transitions to-and-from Seth's branch, seems
citeable for this and probably involved with the vengeance rule.)
But; Note the hint that Enoch Horus could have been Nabu
himself N-second-lord-aB-of-father-U-of-heaven, (a)N(a)pu, having nearly
outranked Anpu Anubis Anu and become Second Watcher of heaven, if, Nabu, was
titular N-ab-u He-r-u En-wk even the source for Napi-shtim; Yet whom did he
preempt, and did Moses follow Egyptian history-recording methods and drop bad
rulers,- remained unrecorded.... Alternatively, Egypt's Abu was the
'source' of the Nile for lower northern Egypt, and Nabu could have been the
Watcher on that secondary 'Nubian' mountain-heaven: secondary-Lord of
Abu, Egypt, as the Sumerian name for Horus, who became the third
Enoch, after Anubis first-Enoch and Cainan second....
(Subnote Jubilees' 61 years for Jared's son, if not referential,
could have come from a mother ranked 4-earlier than KiKi, Mualeleth, Dinah, and
Baraka, -that being Awan Isis herself, preempting Baraka-... Or likewise, the
Biblical 162 years could have come from Mahalaleel senior-siring 32-years after
Jared's 65th measured by his-own birth 65-earlier, 5th-rank after Enos got
dropped in Tiamut's pull of lineage Destiny ... But that might be Nabu himself
real-son-of-Jared-Marduk, assumed-still-in-lineage, confused with Enoch Horus of
Awan Isis herself-- precursing Nabu.)
AND THE VERY-NEXT SON REQUIRES RECOUNTING THE
GOD-FAMILY CHRONOLOGY ALTOGETHER-- AS ENOCH HIMSELF DID:
The Book of Jubilees
recounts Jared begat Enoch in his 61st year, not
162nd, --contradicting the Biblical record with curious significance if no
senior was born 101 years * before Jared, or maybe the Bible (mis)assumed
significant information on the reluctant Sumerian wives' delay, or maybe
misassumed son Marduk was removed;-- Methuselah begat Lamech in his 65th year,
not 187th 4-years shy of 61+65+65 from Jared's birth, unless the Bible added
another century for another, discrepant source, but even 87th disagrees with
Jubilees; Lamech begat Noah in his 50th-56th year, not Lamech's but
Enoch's 182nd, about Lamech's 52nd... putting the flood of
Noah's 600th to Adam's 1308th, -three and a half centuries before the
Biblical-... And yet-- Jubilees' accuracy has been highly
instructive so far ... (And even in error, its later lineage-inclusion of
Kainam, suggests, this foreshortened schedule was based on calculably reliable
source information)....
* (to be declaratively correct, but
Jubilees may have meant a checksum reference and Irad's actual 39-year-earlier
birth weighs-in... Reference-checksums are standard
procedure in tabulation, to catch single errors, but which result in
double-errors if the source is incorrect.)
However, 52 is not a possible
insert after Lamech of Methuselah's 65th: because Enoch's lineage is already
first on the senior-siring schedule. Also, Lamech's Tubalcain-generation is
missing and the Bible must have had reason for picking 187, Jasher, 87;
and we may have to develop three possible schedules, one for
Jubilees, one for the Bible, and one best for the Jasher-Sumerian flood-record.
(Jasher hints at a
second flood-year but never relates; the Bible reports the third; But there's
only one for Noah and the Sumerian Utnapishtim, and our better-corrected
chronology aims to fit it: Jasher's 'great flood' in Enos' time before Enos'
final-905th year 1140, limits Noah's flood to Enoch's, 600th,
and Enoch's birth to by-year-540: He could-not have arrived a
Biblical-century later; and his passing was probably his, 950th.)
Noah off
Enoch's 65-year seniority schedule suggests he's another insert, like Enoch, but
rather 52-additional for a delayed-branch lineage.
Jubilees' year-522 for Enoch is fairly sure: the
2-years fine-offset added to 8×65=520 for mother Isis Awan being third-sibling
in her generation: Enoch
did not follow Jared in Seth's branch-lineage by the generation-and-sibling-year
rules applied thereto, but he arrived to take, rule, after.... (Moses'
scribes may have assumed the 522-year was to be offset-39, and, 3-sooner, and
therefor 'corrected' it to the 65-year-generation next.)
The Book of Jubilees recorded that
Enoch was the first to learn writing -as was attributed to god Thoth adviser to
Horus' mother Isis in Egypt,- who correlated the days and seasons
-Sumerian and Egyptian calendars,- in his own book recounting their Sabbaths and
Jubilees and week-sevens and years, -solving Anu's crazy-calendar
dilemma,- and, wrote a predictive vision-testimony of what was to come before
the judgment-flood.... Also, Jubilees reported Enoch being taken
majestically to see the garden of Eden, and there write that judgment and
condemnation;-- Having grown up in Egypt and kept hidden by Awan,
Enoch Horus had never seen the famed garden that all the
Sumerian gods knew so well.
(Note, Jasher, ascribes much of this predictive
talent to Cainan, i.e. Enoch, i.e. Horus, i.e. not Cainan; Enoch, was apparently
a generic name.)
However, This opens a new puzzle: Anubis had
been given a new start year because he was pulled from Cain's lineage,
-we know so because Horus became first-son later,- but, Horus did not get
pulled, just moved... If Anu kept the requirement that Horus live in Sumeria 65
years before starting lineage, then Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah,
would have been born later unless Ra or Thoth sired Methuselah with
Horus' first-lineage wife, in Egypt ... We'll assume Horus did not rule during
his first 65 years because he was in-hiding from Seth and without his father
Osiris Cain co-ruling ... until he was old enough, and Isis took him before Ra
and Seth and the Council, and after training with Seth, ruled his remaining 300
years before heading up the mountain in the east to become a Watcher with
Anubis. We'll try a few optional-reconstructions with Enoch, but we know that he
was too smart to mess-up the calendars, unless his fixing did-so when the later
gods had two versions: their original, and, his fix--
HORUS THE UNIFIER OF KEMETIC EGYPT,-- KHAN-UK
THE-ENOCH OF SEMITIC SUMER:
Postmortem-son Horus Horakhty, when full-grown, reclaimed father Osiris'
first-rights in Egypt, and battled Seth for eight decades, wounding both...
then a century later deposed god Ra
purportedly for disapproving his taking Seth's half of Egypt ... In
Sumeria, Horus became the new Enoch Enki god (El) Ea "El-y-h"
Elijah (cf Books of Jasher and Enoch details), his rank above Anubis Enoch and
Cainan, despite his relative youth; and the gods council decided he and Seth
should alternate ruling Egypt, recompensing Seth special gifts:- Horus
ruled 300 years, and studied with the gods in Egypt and Sumeria, learning
everything ... Then, in a wintery end, the gods took him, departing him on
horseback, up the Persian range mountainside amid a whirlwind (and icy snow,
adds Jasher), to Anu's frosted-white sand-glass house;- and Seth ruled 350 years
total, in Egypt, -partly before, partly with, and partly after,
Horus,- till himself passed.
(N.B. Their notion of heaven, throughout their records was that of the
"heave-n" mountains reaching to the sky: Rarely did anyone walk up,
and mankind was forbidden and gods and goddesses themselves
restricted; the same notion forwarded by the Hebrews,- as Jesus put it, Born of
the water and the spirit;-- gods and conquerors came by the mountains.)
(Note, the Egyptian record indicated that Geb Adam gave Seth's
portion of Egypt to Horus, but probably to strengthen Horus for Sumeria;
and probably recognizing the trouble caused by Cain and his sired seed
was not worthy of losing his third, son ... and Seth acquiesced to reason.)
A character-check ... Why ... Horus Enki deposed Ra over a mere
complaint ... Horus, both son, and great-grandson
on Isis' side, (whence Horus was known as Ra-Horakhty,-- the Horus name came
from Cain Osiris' Sumerian king title, Alorus, Horus the Elder of Egypt):
-
Horus believed Seth should stay east ... though Seth
had double-duty as new first-son and, replacement for Cain;
-
Horus knew Ra's secret name, from Isis, -obsoleting Ra:- Horus replaced
him as sungod;
-
Ra had agreed to let Shw send Cain away over the death of Abel; Yet he
was willing that Seth stay, after 'causing' the death of Cain;
-
Horus when a child had been stung by a scorpion, purportedly created by
Ra's Tefnuit, (and healed by Isis and Thoth's incantations);
-
Ra had neither prevented Tefnuit's preparations against the
young gods, nor Marduk's revolt against his lineage, a century
earlier;
-
Adam Geb, grandson of Ra, Father of Cain
Osiris and Seth, had already quit west; Thoth was senior in Egypt, Sumer
needed Seth;
-
As the young gods grew older they were to move
westward to take the place of the passing elders, but were no longer doing
so; Seth may have argued instead that Horus should move east to Sumeria (as
he later did as Enoch El-y-h) because he was a younger, god;
-
Egypt was filling with general-lineage god family, and
likewise so was Sumer: Horus saw a family split;
-
Ra had ordered a massacre of mankind over their rebellion in Egypt
(probably for Seth's involving them in the murder of Osiris Cain),
while, Horus was, as father Osiris Cain had been and Cainan Enki after, a
champion of mankind and civilization....
-
Horus may have agreed to dispose of Ra to save his own skin
having grafted into Anu Enos, Ea Cainan and Marduk Jared's lineage;
-
And, to prevent a further upstaging of the younger gods by
Ra and Nephthys' daughter or other yet younger goddesses;
-
Horus was wary of the claim-or-blame that Seth had
drowned Osiris Cain in Egypt, and wanted to fully control the situation.
-
Horus believed Ra was approving Seth for taking
first-lineage that Isis wanted to keep for Horus in Egypt, after the
Rebellion in the East.
-
(We'll also find that Seth was secretly considered special by
Ra and the Council: as possibly a longer-longevity god; See below.)
So, two, Cainan Enki (El) Ea and Horus Enki El-y-h,
coexisted, stories fused, one in Mesopotamia and one in Egypt; who both traveled
widely.
This positions Enoch -Horus- after, Jared, in time, while
Enoch -Cainan- before, firstborn Irad Jared, Marduk, in the lineage of Cain; and
Horus the same as Mehujael, and the Biblical 162 years delay: to his rulership
inserted after birth... The odd part is that we never think of
an Egyptian god, -especially, famous Horus,- as being Enoch or
desert sage Elijah El-y-h El-Ea living 365 years, walking with the Sumerian
gods, studying the things, of the gods, being taken places by, the gods ...
though even Abraham and his lord Yhwh (Noah), were known as
travelers-beyond....
The Book of Jasher says that Enoch was like Cainan, wise, and
taught men righteousness: Enoch consented to rule 130 kings and princes (the
number of priests and soothsayers in Egypt): they made him king, and he ruled
243 years and helped parttime until they stopped coming for his awed-countenance
(his liver-complaint), till he knew his last was coming and a white
horse took him several days journey, men following, then a whirlwind and
snow-hail, and he disappeared up the mountain, leaving Methuselah,
Elisha(a), Elimelech, and their sisters Melca and Nahmah.
(NB. Enoch's 243-years rule,
made 'king', regarded his 'certified-god-over-120' status in Sumeria, his
near-last 243 of his 300 years rule over Egypt; and the Sumerian young-gods
managed probation and pullback on Marduk and Nabu, and declared Horus' family
superiority. There is also hint in much-later Egyptian literature, that Horus in
his 363rd, i.e. 120th+243, deposed senior god Ra, but the
record is an unreliable fit of years and identities, and possibly indicating
that Horus was bitten by a crocodile, or, compelled to leave Egypt for
'renegade' far-east-country for having attacked Seth again, even
dragging him before Ra, and yet Ra per his thousand-years rule was long-gone
from the scene.)
(Jasher indicates that Enoch Horus began kingly
rule in his 65th, the year Methuselah was born, and he despised the "evil ways
of men," which, could mean the Sumerian gods lived up the heaven-mountain, while
the 'men' were those below, including Seth... But, cites Enoch's 308th year, for
Adam passing; before Enoch was taken up but 100 years wrong....
Possibly, titular, King, was a diminutive role assumed while learning with Anu,
before Enoch reached the 121-year-a-god rule, and then ruled 243-more,
a fact misplaced ... And later Horus Enoch recused himself from the
daily business of ruling the larger, Egypt....)
THE LARGER ARITHMETIC SO FAR - ENOCH WROTE THE BOOK:
According to Egyptian records, Geb Adam ruled 500 years and
Osiris Cain first king in Egypt ruled 450-or-433 years (the family ruled
together overlapped as a dynasty, though not all together in the same place);
--But so did pre-dynastic Sumerian king Alorus rule 433 years: he ruled 45 Sars,
but, he, started, the first Sar and ruled into, his 45th Sar: hence more than 44
Sars or 433.7 years: a Sar being 3600 days--... Cain Osiris Alorus
El-Horus "Horus the Elder" ("hawk" god of Egypt) was one-same-god
doing double-duty as himself-and his deceased twin-brother....
(Which thus-also hints at Egyptian Anubis Anwp Enoch, Sumerian Anu
Enos' double-identity, the family-son doing like the family-father....)
But-- we need watch the calendar differences here: 433
Egyptian years, may be their 365-day 'years', or, their
365.25-day-average-Nile-flood, years ... Either way, Cain Osiris Alorus ruled
about-435 Biblical/Jubilean years, and Adam Geb about-502 in 500-501-Egyptian
years....
(A note on archaic counting: The Sumerian Sar was 3600 days,
oft misrendered as years but which the Sumerians did not know until millennia
later, because they lived in year-round balmy weather, 30° North latitude: They
were the predecessory discoverers of the Saros cycles of solar eclipses measured
by counting days, not seasons... whence their seemingly expansive year records
are merely days multiplied out; -Sars can read as near-decades -Heb.
Asar,- but they also counted Sars-started, where the Egyptians counted
full years-...
Nevertheless by comparison the Egyptian record is
year-accurate because they had annual inundation-flooding of the Nile which
meant their years were real years, -except when taking cattle census-....
Eventually Sumerian records changed over -albeit gradually, sporadically,- while
conversely, Moses, -asserts the Book of Jubilees,- established a
364-day year for its divisibility by seven, and likewise jubilees of 49 years,
7-by-7's; -though we'd suppose he intended the
Egyptian's-365th day as the celebration of the full year and the 50th
year the celebration of the full jubilee as LEV:25 detailed with
liberty and the return of land titles,- assigning Adam 930
364-day-calendar-years, 926.8 solar, years.... Jubilees'
years also frequently fall short compared to its own account, e.g. 5-in-147 for
Jacob's passing, and may have resulted from mixed calendars and realigned
recounts....)
(Subnote. Osiris in ruling 433 Egyptian
years just-short of 434, 435 Jubilean years, siring at 100-moon 8.1-year
intervals since his 130th would have reached 3-years-shy of 39 children, plus
post mortem Horus the 40th: the same child count attributed to Qingu:
whence we deduce Qingu was exactly as old as Cain Osiris, --and both
were, 'first-generation', sired by Ra,-- and the difference may count
birth-twins along the way....)
(Subnote Anu's estimate for matching Sumerian
mountain 'lunar' years to periodic Egyptian river flood years, counting days and
partial Sars: It was beyond Anu's capacity to convert Egyptian calendar-time to
Sumerian; the main flood-event wasn't there and Thoth hadn't yet found a 365-day
cycle ... Sumerian record hints of their discovery of the
year-cycle when Anu wrote to his granddaughter Ishtar, complaining that they
would never be able to make his calendar of months, used atop his mountain
range, meet her years, used in her underworld bottom of the mountain:-
Apparently they had discovered unreconcilable the yearly
north-south cycle of shadows falling daily with each sunrise over the
mountain peaks. The much-later Book of Enoch delineates 30±day
months by sunrise through gates and windows east and west and the variability of
lengths of days and nights further delineated in twice nine parts, sunrise,
early morn, midmorn, late, etc. However, it also registers Jubilees' 364-day
year not the 365-day of Egypt, and 29.5-day lunar-months, and blames 'sinners'
for centurial seasonal perversion....)
(Subnote: Early-history counting of objects, then time and
distance, was by natural numbers, tallying 1-10 by fingers, both hands left and
right undistinguished, later simplified by a count of counts: a
third hand-motion-mark indicating 0-5 full-tallies in addition to the
main tally,- whence "base 60" ... a fourth hand-mark extended that to
base-360.... Days were the order of existence and so not counted primarily,- but
months by moon-phases were obvious and counted days-at-extent fairly
conveniently, 29.53 days per month by our science; then star-risings, 12 moons
per year, 354 days, or their natural 360-count seemed good, till god Thoth or
his wife Maat noticed that was quickly 5 days off every year and they replaced
it with the 365-day year in Egypt, -later refined to 365.2564 days per sidereal
'star' year, and that later refined to our solar year, 365.2422
days-.... Centuries later one god, Enoch, put the calendars into order
conglomerating 590.6-day twenty-moon Ners, 354-day round-lunar-years,
365-day round-years, and 3600-day Sars and 600-day Ners: and from which we got
our early Biblical year and jubilee records.... Distance measurement was more
challenging as there was no natural length but the body, so they measured
fingers and hands, arms, strides etc. till millennia later
the Babylonians estimated a 3600th of the Earth's circumference as their 10.8Km
Beru, a Sumerian Danna, an Egyptian Schoenus, an English Stage,
accurate at sea-level 14°N Persian latitude, but 11.13Km
at the equator;- Note a Persian Kaspu was a two-hour walk, about six
miles level for the shorter gods, maybe three miles uphill with a mile elevation
at slower-shortened-stride.)
(Secondary subnote: The Egyptians also had a measure of
short-time, such as for holding one's breath underwater "three months" in
contest:- Scholars translate as "month" what was merely a 'minth'
moon-in-the-house-diameter 2.2 minutes in site-passage, their archaic-minute; cf
min seed, mene count-- the parts-of, not the whole cycle; and linguistically
similar across the family... 6.6 minutes being their reasonable contest....
Note linguistically, our 'minute' may come from 'min-utu', seed of the
sun, as the sun is the same apparent size, as the moon, whence eclipses, and is
easily observed to measure with a pinhole-projection 'camera'; Or,
farther-derived instead from 'min-het'.)
The Bible lists Adam as living 930 years, as Moses and his scribes calculated
from a host of mid-second-millennium (1550±100) BC Hebrew memories and
then-available Egyptian records if Moses knew how to correlate them; The
Sumerian records start from Adam's mid years and later refer to him as
man rather than long-lived god, and without furthering knowledge of Cain.... If
these records agree then it may be deduced that Adam declined the titular, El
god, started by Alorus Cain visiting from Egypt, and left or was deposed
when the Sumerian lords began rule under their new, El god titles, and
lived outside his offspring family 428±years more,
--in retaliation for Cain retaking his birth-land by
rebellion, they sent Adam oppositely away to eventually pass
in the desert far west of Cain Osiris' Egypt ... (and the
name, Adam, became generic: he'd been the first 'man' born on Earth, so they
used his name-title to indicate their first-breed-'mankind' on Earth).
And
after Osiris' 433-years rule, says the Egyptian record, Seth ruled Egypt
350-or-359, and Horus 300, with 80 years of infighting:- Thus Seth started
ruling ca year 473, age 343, overlapping Osiris' last 28 years ruling by Isis in
Egypt till year 500, 435 from Cain's birth year ca 65,-
plus 22 till Horus was born, and 65 till Horus came to rule,
plus 80 years co-rule with Horus, but waiting 220 while Horus ruled
alone, plus 154 more, passing at age 912: year 1042.... The lineage
gods reigned from birth or takeover 'til they passed or
quit. (The discrepancy, 350-or-359, is the Egyptian uncertainty
whether Adam Geb followed the Egyptian calendar in siring
Seth, or in converting the Sumerian 10-year-Sar records and Egyptian
360-or-365-day-years, or, from pre-Horus attempts to convert from
lunar-year calendars used in Sumer, with that 3% difference; And
Seth's calendar may have been the Sumerian altogether: as Seth's record was
more-Sumerian and concluded 5-centuries after Osiris.)
(Cf Had Seth's years-of-rule counted from age 51 when he
became effectually-first son in his own generation, he'd have ruled 641-861
years.)
NB. This Horus, is the son of Isis and Osiris
purportedly after Osiris passed, the elder Horus now confused in reference only:
Seth's contention with this younger-Horus, was over a different set of criteria,
more mythical by design, and more real in person: This Horus parallels the story
of Enoch in Sumeria... Indeed, Cain's first son, named, Enoch, was possibly
name-borrowed on Egyptian Horakhty, En-Akht, Lord of the horizon.
(Isis' similar-450-years rule, though born ca
16-years-after Cain, was probably assumed because they were
storied as twins born together; but she also continued her rule, co-ruling with
Seth, till she got her son Horus, and, moved out of Seth's house
about-that-many, ca 22, years after.)
(Note the duration of Osiris' 28-year absence from Isis
and Egypt: Many stories tell of the older gods no longer actively enjoying their
mates.)
AMID SUMER'S NIGHTMARE,-- RUNNING ON EMPTY:
With the deaths of so many seniors isolating Sumer, their
first-lineage stalled into a flat-spin mankind-creation era led by Marduk 'til
his trial.... Their first-lineage sister-wives withheld themselves, no longer
ranked as high among their brother-husbands ... they barricaded themselves in
Apsu's mountain rift and ruled against each other in morbidity-motifed
politics... visiting each other exacted terrible penalties ... Egyptian-side Ra
instituted a foreign policy of Gallash guardians of his underworld:- any god who
visited, stayed or sent a replacement to stay. (Prototypical modern-timeshare
business arrangements; Not surprisingly, millennia-later Christ Jesus picked up
on Ra Amun's familiar name, M'Ammon.)
The next, major Sumerian kings -after the kingship descended
Anu's heaven- were the Alulim and the Alalgar.... Although it'd be
nice to identify them as Ellil-related persons, the two titles were recognizably
the combined efforts of the 'im' first sons, cf Elohim, plural, Enos Anu,
Mahalaleel Enlil Ellil, Cainan Enki Ea: appointed under Ma-'rad Marduk's
elevated leadership, and, the 'gar' turnings, Marduk's subsequent
Azazeel-bunch leading teams of twenties; thence under individuals averaging 75
years; putting the overthrow of Tiamut early in the first 75 years and
restarting the count of rulers from Enos. (The term, Alal, meant destroyer, and
'gar jar' might refer to Jared-- possibly referring to terribly-inventive
wargod-slaughterer Marduk unifying the rule in Sumer, pre-parallel to
Horus' efforts in Egypt and Sumer.)
(Note, the name-part 'Eloh' of 'Elohim' probably equated to
Sumerian, Ilu, the general title for a god, but later refers possibly to a
specific god.)
(The Sumerian kings were younger brothers of the patriarch gods: associated
by name, given something to do, but not the highest authority...
Scholars find stories of Kronos Kumarbi -possible origin of
Shumer,- Tashmishu, Tarhun Teshub --possibly T'Shub'ek Sobek,--
confused into one-Sar sub-rulerships with the elders first-lineage Anu, Enki,
Ellil.)
THE CONVERGENCE OF SETH'S AND CAIN'S LINEAGES - ENOCH
MEHUJAEL, METHUSELAH METHUSAEL, LAMECH:
The Bible lineage of Cain lists Enoch as Cain's first
son; but by matching interpretations we understand that Enoch was firstly Anubis
his child sired by Ra via himself subrogate with his second sister Nephthys,
moved to Seth's household: Enos; but then second-Enoch Cainan by Cain
himself, with Nephthys, moved to Enos', household; And then first-or-second
Enoch, Enos or Cainan, sired Irad as Jared put into Mahalaleel's household, who
was Mered Marduk of Enki. Then Jared got Enoch in the Bible lineage of
Seth, but who was Cain's great-grandson Mehujael, for he outranked them all,
(except for his mother Isis being second-first-lineage daughter,
second-lineage moved up to first, after Nephthys...).
Note, the name, Mehujael, is ordinarily interpreted as, Smitten by God, yet,
also has the sense of removed or erased ... When Moses' scribes confronted the
apparent discrepancies in Enoch's history, the record from Seth's line
narrowed via the one surviving family of Noah, indicated Enoch had been taken by
God, -By the gods, in the literal Hebrew; By God, in the manner of
Elijah, on a horse in a whirlwind above Elisha his second son, in the Book of
Jasher; By an angel, up the mountain heavens to the white house, in the Book of
Enoch;- where, for the Egyptians, and the later Greeks,
Enoch Prometheus 'the one before Epimetheus Methuselah', was
Horus of Cain Osiris and Isis, sired by Ra with Isis by artifice on behalf
long-dead Osiris, and moved to the east mountain the second Watcher with Enos
Anu Anubis, who had been injured by god Seth, in Egypt, -smitten by a god,
though he had survived,- suffering a liver-complaint as it were a bird eating at
him daily, in colorific Greek....
(Horus Enoch's 'liver-complaint' injury could have been
inflicted by other god than Seth, -albeit Horus was known for poisoning Seth's,
garden;- particularly by Ra, as the year of Ra's exit from Egypt coincides with
Tubalcain's birth and the expiry of the Vengeance Rule, thus disqualifying,
Tubalcain of first-lineage; and the Greek report that Prometheus
the-one-before-Metheus Methuselah, Enoch suffered liver-complaint 82 years might
be much of the 85-ish years after Tubalcain's birth before Enoch Horus exited up
to the mountain heaven ... small relief: to be a teacher.)
(Subnote the fanciful Greek story of Cronus swallowing all his
children until Zeus, echoes the vengeance rule and termination just before
Noah.)
(Subnote: Scribes probably found their sources a mess, and simply
included all Hebrew patriarchs; The Book of Jasher was contemporary to Moses'
Pentateuch, yet its Biblelike-Elijah-story was six centuries later
than Joshua, -if we have the correct Jasher-... But then again, the Bible
did-say Elijah would come again ... or ... that could mean Elijah,
Mehujael Enoch Horus second-Watcher, would return from Anu's mountain....)
And thereafter, Cain's and Seth's lineages
quite-apparently merge: To Mehujael Enoch was born Methusael Methuselah, and to
him was born Lamech,-- identically Lamech, Methusael Methuselah
nearly-obviously-identical ... And then Noah but who was counted only from
Seth's line....
Thus were configured the same persons and lineages... But,--
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FLOOD - THE
ACTUAL, TOTAL, RULERSHIP YEARS:
Egyptian Geb Adam ruled 500-501
years, (If 500 is Sumerian 50 Sar then it's more accurately 485-95
years but depending on just-when the Egyptians discovered the year had
365 days attributed to god Thoth), And left in the same year
Osiris Cain was killed (his 28th year of travel abroad, upon his return), and
Seth took Isis into his house till Horus was born.... Sumerian records vary
indicating the flood occurred 67 Sars after Alorus Cain, but also summarize, 107
Sars, including Alorus 435 years, eight kings, and five cities ... each
rulership term ended amid a Sar summarily continuous within-cities, split
across-cities: 67 Sars overlapped 4 and ended amid the final, spanning 62-67
Sars cumulative, 613-663 years, from Cain's death ca year-500,
1048-1058 from Cain's birth ca 65:-- The decade of years
1113-23 is our estimate for Enos' flood; and also that Enos Anu was
still in charge some years after the flood: even for the fable of Gilgamesh who
managed some ire over his daughter Ishtar... whence if the Bible age
of Enos Anu is fully accurate 905 years after Adam's 235th, passing in 1140,
then Gilgamesh' snub occurred 17-27 years after the flood, -depending on the
veracity of that fable;- and the flood 534 years sooner than the Biblical
estimate....
(The above paragraph is a mixture of calendars: When relating
Sumerian to Egyptian-count it is estimated Nile-cycle years, otherwise
Biblical.)
(Note another Sumerian rendering, of the 107-Sars, lists
Alorus for 40-Sars: probably a naive scribe's confusion about the overlap in
67-Sars.)
(Gilgamesh the famous '2/3rds'-demigod-wiseman in
the Sumerian Kings List, 73 years later if of consecutive rules, notoriously
upset his city folk during his rulership, by preventing husbands on their
wedding day, -his own interpretation of the gods' seniority rule,- and, having
spurned Ishtar in his youthful age while ruling Uruk locally, thence reaped
lessons in wisdom and Anu's retribution.... As a child he had lived
through the flood that consumed mankind, -himself part god;- He was a descendant
of immortal Utnapishtim.... Note the Sumerian, labels Ishtar, Inanna.)
We further refine our estimate to exactly,
year-1122 plus 14 months in Noah's ark as was-indeed Enoch's, 600th:
as now seems undeniable; Furthermore, the
Utnapishtim version of the flood identifies Noah as a "man" at the time of the
flood, later given, "immortal" status-- imputing Noah not yet
an accepted, god, or
more-plausibly his 100-year-old sons and importantly their mankind-wives; And
later after the flood, Anu's clique acknowledged Noah's activities as that of an
immortal already; (Other pseudepigrapha indicate
Noah had a brother Nir, on the ark)....
And the Biblical generations
and Sumerian Sars-records will pack-tight to fit Noah's flood in Enoch's 600th
to the Ziusudra record. A straight Bible-year-count is possible as
65+187+182+(68 to Shem)+98 = 600, but suggests skippage....
(And Jasher's second flood was missed by Noah
already moved to the gods' Dilmun plateau-sea resort in the
Gilgamesh-Utnapishtim fable, or didn't need another ark-- if it happened.)
(Note for comparison: Scholars pushing history back, place
Ziusudra Noah's flood ca 2650 B.C., hereby pushing Adam to roughly
3770 B.C. Albeit then-again other scholars put the flood to
the Chinese year 2348 B.C., and therefor Adam to 3468 B.C. nearly exactly 300
years later.)
MEANWHILE-- TIME DOUBLE CLUTCHES:
From Enoch born in Adam's 522nd, to
the worldwide flood ca the 1122nd, were born Methuselah, Lamech, Noah, (Nir),
Shem, -plus Arphaxad two years after,- in main lineage. But 600 years is space
for 9, at 65-year intervals: The Bible adds 622+65+187+182+502+98 = 1656, though
not the family schedule we've found unless the wives were stolid recluse after
the rebellion. Noah was withholding, but lineage rules didn't allow that 'til
the seniors were gone: Ra, Thoth, Adam, Cain, Seth, Enos, had followed rules: It
wasn't Noah's responsibility but the seniors', for putting children into his
lineage-family by his wife the next first-lineage daughter; unless the wife, was
refusing to bear lineage children after Adam was dead 26 years
before Noah was born... or the last-remaining first-lineage-sire, Enoch, was
withholding... or, Noah wasn't a usual god....
(Note the Sumerian records hint at what happened
that delayed or belayed the lineage after Jared, long before the flood:- The
rift was gated-off with seven gates and one or more remaining first-lineage
daughters dwelt therein: the first-lineage wives refusing to have children...
and the two groups of gods separated there in Edin, one remaining
on Edin level, the other up the mountain ... whence Lamech's surprise at
Noah in birth.)
Nevertheless, Jubilees, adds 522+65+65+(53~)+(502)+101 =
1308, pushing the Biblical flood centuries-sooner; and Lamech got Noah by wife
Betenos, but Noah's wife Emzara got Shem first, and Japheth last (Biblically the
elder, maybe birth-twins re-yeared preferring Shem on Earth)...
(There is scholarly dither on whether Japheth the elder was
eldest, or strictly elder-not-the-eldest, or even whether there were two,
Japheth's.)
However, Jasher, adheres to the Biblical, but, dropping digits
frequently this-Lamech married Ashmua first-lineage-daughter of
Enoch's second son Elishaa, and got Noah, who married 82-year-older Naamah,
daughter of Enoch, possibly Naam in Egypt, of Horus if not the near-equal-age
sister of Tubalcain (whom Lamech had killed over misguiding him to kill a man
while hunting animals and his wives abstained from having more children by him
so, he got another wife)... And this-Noah got Japheth the elder, first, like the
Biblical phrase, then Shem....
So, Quite apparently, there was, a major flood and weather
disruption that Moses' and Jubilees' scribes knew and forced the year to be
Noah's 600th instead of Enoch's, in the attempt to register their chronologies;-
Most likely an historic revision of Moses' Pentateuch got the other major event
that hit the region-- the Thira Santorini eruption tidalwave followed by years
of fouled weather enough-like the Noachic flood to equate the two without proper
knowledge of the event which Moses missed, having been guided by his 'god' to
vacate Egypt and avoid Canaan. (But, this, does-not help fix the year, because
the 600-number was taken from Enoch's history not from Noah's ... but Jubilees
is giving us the 'heads-up'.)
(Sidebar-- Moses' Exodus-crossing of the Red Sea was
literally of the 'sup' cf 'kopf' Cheops Sea the Gulf of Suez 'hairy'-head of the
Red Sea... the all-night recession of waters was rare tidal action in a place
Moses' god knew but the new Egyptian pharaoh did not, supposedly
caused by east wind driving water, but which was also a reference to Marduk
slaying senior Egyptian goddess T'Mwt ... The Thira tidalwave soon followed and
buried Nile Delta history, -46 years before its prominent 18th Dynasty,- Else
Moses would have recorded it for the Goshen region lands the Hebrews had
dwelt-in 430 years, of Egypt east of the delta facing the
Thira tsunami, and the low lands of Canaan, which also washed out to the Sea of
Galilei, leaving that salty and so keeping Moses at-bay 40 years
and weakening the Canaanite giants till it was potable.... Also
sidenote famed sunken Atlantis was in fact Thira as the Egyptian
depiction given the Greek historian was: that west from the Egyptian perspective
which turned north following the Tuat oases to the Mediterranean to
circle Ra's night, led directly to Thira beyond the pillars of Hercules, the
mountains on the isle of Iraklio Crete, in the time of the Athenians,
--Hence also note that Egyptian Apep was a sea serpent,--
And the Egyptian civilization returned to the Delta 5000 days, later: counting
days, as the yearly weather was messed-up by the volcanic explosion;
The ancient Greeks took the archaic Egyptian perception liberally,
adding 5000 years to the Egyptian date-references whose state system
had indeed existed since the very 3000 years not 8000 before the Greek
570 BC. The 5000th day was their official celebration of
return: after they'd refound their landmarks, uncovered and restored their key
temples, 13 years.... Scholars might take exception, to the strength
of a tsunami caused by an eruption at that distance, but reputedly that island
took a day and a night to sink: there may have been multiple
tsunamis overflowing each other in the Nile delta region which does not drain
floods rapidly, its yearly flood just-then subsiding, plus,
refraction-lensing on the curvature of the Nile delta shoreline and sea shelf,
in addition to surge-motion directing and lifting the reflection-wave to
parallel the straight North Egyptian shoreline, compounding great height aiming
straight for the Giza plateau... as well as possibly subsidence of the Aegean
seafloor or along its shelf... and the story might also be
mixed with eons-earlier lore of seamounts covered in a global tidalwave....
Dating the eruption event, is yet uncertain between scholarly views, the
radiocarbon-dated 1630 B.C. but volcanoes affect this,
historical late-1500's B.C. during the reign of Ahmose Nebpehtyre beginning the
18th dynasty and his major tempest and flooding of Thebes, and August 1603-01
B.C. Egyptian medical records of diseases, plagues, and conditions now-deemably
most-likely attributable to volcanism ... Corroborative tsunami evidence at
Jaffa-Tel Aviv records a 23-ft. wave:
Surge motion focusing is the likely build-up in Egypt, where cities
norther and souther survived, of waves appearing as 240-ft. walls of water
passing.)
(Note that their concept of North included nightside, the cosmic
path the set sun took, and cold, wind, or altitude, as well as directionally,
north.)
Yet, None of these three chronological arrangements is
particularly convincing, But remain fairly certain that they existed in order
and did delay, and the Egyptians dropped regular contact after Marduk's
rebellion, leaving little to corroborate anything they did in the
succeeding centuries....
Technically, Noah was senior-sired
in-lineage but off-Enoch's-lineage with Lamech's lineage-wife; Elishaa instead
of Methuselah or afterward must have married the first-lineage daughter of
Enoch, herself sired by second-become-first-lineage Thoth ... And Noah quite
expectably, had three, in-lineage wives: leftover from the
vengeance-rule-twice-broken-husband-lineages; one was Enoch's centuries-older
daughter by Thoth; And their sibling-ranks were 2-and-3-years close, -all three
first-lineage though prioritized,- and their ages were mixed-up in the
calculation....
Yet reregistering the flood to Enoch's 600th has
pitfalls: The only way to figure the largest steps, 187, 182, is, to assume
missing-generations, Tubalcain killed by Lamech, possibly Duamutef killed by
Neith, in the centuries of wickedness; or, possibly Lamech was born in Enoch's
year-187 and Shem in Noah's 132nd, Or, possibly Enoch and his sons each received
their-own, branches, thus offsetting them further, which could be the case if
Enoch Horus had wanted as Seth and Cain and even Shw got-- their own branches
... and, several schedule variants fit.... Note that for Shem's birth, either
68th-or-133rd fits neatly 2-3-after Japheth his elder in the
65-66th-or-130-131st, and Ham 3-years thereafter.
But yet, there is, one more way that might fit all the records,
-if somewhat wordy,- -if we look at why, Jubilees, would have the different
record:- What Jubilees, is, telling us, is, Noah, was born to father Lamech,
and, sired by Enoch, But, not Jared's but Cain's, Enoch: Seth's Enoch Enos
Anubis: the rule of vengence had lapsed on his 8th generation, (Cainan was the
first but wordily we must ask why-not Marduk two generations after Cainan and
run to the tenth: as surely Horus argued), and Lamech thought Noah looked like a
Watcher (which both Enoch's were, but not both by looks); The 65th from Enoch to
Methuselah agrees with the Biblical, and somebody was born at the next 65th, but
Lamech at that 65th may be referential: after saying Noah was born in the 52nd
of a generation after Lamech and so agreeing with the Biblical 182nd, But,
saying, that Lamech was sired by grandfather Enoch in his 187th, Methuselah's
122nd, but which put Lamech too young, so he was moved to the next generation
the next 65, and thence possibly Tubalcain was senior-sired by Enoch ca the 40th
year of the next-generation, ca Lamech's 113th, and then Noah, sired by Enoch
Enos in the 44th of the next-generation, the 46th on Enos' branch, which was
Lamech's 182nd; And then Noah father-sired, in his 130th, 132nd, and 135th, with
three first-lineage wives, because Enoch had already gone up the mountain, and
Methuselah was awaiting an impending calamity foretold for Earth.... At the 65th
before Lamech may have been Duamutef father-sired by Enoch imitating how Seth
was father-sired by Adam, but illegally skipping Methuselah and whence the
personal battle with Neith in which Duamutef was killed though favored by Ra,
and Enoch recovered by senior-siring Lamech in the same 65-year generation ...
Plus, there were daughters, between.
(In effect Jubilees is also saying that its source was sure, that
Jared's Enoch was still involved with lineage on Earth-level at Noah's birth
time.)
But still, there are questions on either of these remaining
best-fittings: the straight Biblical -and Enos sired Noah's sons but not for,
them,- and, our adjusted -and Noah father-sired them, and Enos sired for, them;-
And, whether the Council ever moved Enoch up the seniority schedule....
(But, Note our inference between the strict-Biblical
Lamech-in-Methuselah's 187th, versus Enoch's-187th our favored, is drawn from
Lamech's later 7th-generation-Kainam's exclusion from lineage, but not
8th-generation-Eber's, for the vengeance rule applied on seven, Tubalcain
first.)
AND SECOND LINEAGE SHIFTS GEARS (YEARS):
From the facts available;
Horus began ruling Egypt in his 65th upon becoming recognized, and Ra, -or
Thoth,- sired Methuselah into his family with his first-lineage wife who was
purportedly mother Isis who remarried, not having husband Osiris, whence 65th
not 63rd;- and Horus began becoming acquainted with Sumer, as Enoch, in Jared's
162nd, then began ruling there too in his 121st for 243 years, ruling
Egypt 300 years... within his 365 years on the Earth-level plains among mankind,
then left to teach Anu's children on the mountaintop in the east. (Alternatively
his first-lineage wife was sired by Thoth with Isis, 8 years after himself, but
there is no record of that in the Egyptian but rather that Isis-herself was, his
first first-lineage wife, -else Methuselah would have been 66 years, later,
albeit that's near-enough,- But, per Jubilees, he did get a
second-first-lineage-wife Danel probably in the style that Enos Anu Anubis his
Egyptian predecessor and mentor Watcher had, two, first-sons, and got another
first-son into his family possibly in acknowledgment that Anubis was still in
charge, by either Jared Marduk in Horus' 121st, or earlier;- But even that
possibly resulted in the internecine murder of Duamutef and further separated
Horus Enoch from the Egyptian side of the family.)
But it was Enoch not Ra who senior-sired first-son Lamech
into Methuselah's 122nd, Enoch's 187th: Enoch as his father, did so 8-years
before Methuselah started siring his own: The Egyptian hints, that Horus had
deposed Ra in Ra's 1000th year, ca 797, and Isis despised Seth and
left his house and would not marry him, meant that Horus Enoch was divorcing
himself and his lineage from Ra's timebase, and using his own, and may have been
in imitation of how Ra had released Shw's mother Mwt to Shw. But,
ignoring Thoth too, may be Thoth sired Methuselah's sister. (Horus
Enoch, returned to sliding-sire-order. In generations following Noah's flood the
lineages began to stray far from Ra's schedule regimen.)
(Ra was too senior, to be a regular senior
sire... Had, Ra or Thoth sired Lamech, in Methuselah's 65th per Jubilees,
Jared's 187th would have been 4-years shy, with no reason that the Bible would
have the 187; and Enoch would then have to have waited 56 years before siring
the next into Methuselah's... If Ra or Thoth did-sire, they may have gotten the
occasional daughters; Adam was not around, for Lamech, and Seth sired none; Enos
Anu might have sired, a daughter, but his lineage was excluded for involvement
in the rebellion: until Lamech got excluded and the vengeance rule
flopped back. Enoch should-have next sired into Lamech's 114th,
16-years before Lamech started siring his own, because he was his grandfather...
but that wasn't the 182nd of anyone, -not even if Ra had sired a son
before-Lamech, subsequently lost-....)
However ... the depiction of Noah at his birth,
that caused Lamech much consternation that Noah looked like a child of the
Watchers up Anu's mountain, -(though none-then knew much about gene
expression),- explains an adjusted story: By the Vengeance Rule, Marduk, in
murdering the greatmother Tiamut, knocked seven generations out of the lineage,
in addition to Marduk ... However-still, Marduk's trial with Nanna-Suen sitting
judge, exonerated Marduk on the causation that Marduk was only doing Anshar
('Oongsher') WSR Osiris Cain's bidding, -whom they'd also killed,- and
from Cainan Enki who'd killed Apsu, through Marduk's son Nabu -plus the required
4-more, 8-in-all,- 8 × 65 = 520 years from Cainan 'til ca 805, were excluded
from siring. Note that the exclusion did not-include Enoch Horus who'd
been inserted to take-up the lineage after Jared Marduk, but Cainan-lineage
sons; as siring lineage returned to Ra's schedule ... allowing only
Anu and his greater sons, back into the lineage, (maybe even by
vengeful plot) ... and hence the Biblical summary told us no more after Lamech
of Cain:
Noah was born in Ra's Anu's
lineage ...and it was a comfort to all to know they were past the exclusion,
albeit on Anu's schedule, not Enoch's... Lamech had had sons by two Cain-lineage
wives, before he got Noah and Nir by his wife in Horus Enoch's lineage sired
from Anu's i.e. Seth's lineage ... We estimate that Ra ordered the preemption, a
century before Noah's birth back when he would have done siring, and Enoch Horus
became furious at this he perceived as favoritism, and banished Ra to the Tuat
... Thence Noah did his-own siring at 131 years: without Enoch who was up the
mountain, Methuselah, who must have declined, Lamech, who was excluded for
killing Adam though he'd reputedly reconciled; Japhet was born in Enoch's,
500th; Shem, 502nd; and Ham, 505th ... It arranges a bit more convincingly than
the Biblical, the Jubilees, and the Jasher-Biblical, versions; And, they
did,-keep Ra's 65-year schedule regime, though narrowing to 2-years-apart by
father-sire Noah ... Enoch's scrap with Ra may have been the direct
cause of his liver complaint (and possibly he was, chained atop the
mountain) and possibly the driving factor in Unas later slaughtering Ra's
descendant gods in Egypt... Methuselah's decline from siring for Noah may have
been likewise required, (possibly for Enoch Horus' lesser crime in
injuring Ra). And Noah's birth ca Enoch's 369th = 65 + (122) + 182,
Lamech's 182nd, placed him ca 42 years, 5-offsets, after Ra's Enoch's
first-lineage, and consistent with Seth's Enos' lineage 40-year offset.
(Note, three sons on 2-3-years separations implies three
mothers sisters-or-wives, a senior-or-father sire possibly one, and all-three
first-sons.)
(Note the choice of name, Noah N-Oah/Wah, is similar in
formation, to, Nabu N-Abu, further intimating that Noah was in Anu's line, after
Nabu; and later N-Oah/Wah was raised to immortal-god-status, El-Oah/Wah
Yah-Oah/Wah, along with, -if not himself,- Utnapishtim ... Noe, Eloi, was the
Greek-Hebrew Christ Jesus knew.... Note also that, Thoth, by then, T-Hwty, lived
significantly beyond Ra's exit: It is possible that Thoth first-son of Ra, ca 90
years later, sired Noah, and baby Noah could thus have looked like Thoth's Isis'
Anubis Anu the Watcher, in Seth's line: Thoth should have followed Ra's
rule-reason-example of siring peremptorily first to restart after a loss of
lineage. Note also that Noah counted only in Seth's line, after Lamech, was
provably on these very reasons not born in Cain's Enoch's sons' line.)
(Linguistic subnote the name, Noah N-Oah/Wah, pronounced,
nova, may have referred to the then-current nova 230-years before it
went super: Nova in the Hebrew sense of strength, rather than newness; And
whence his conclusion thereto with the record of the rainbow after the flood:-
it may have been a rare night rainbow in the brilliance of the
supernova, and the year in the ark being while the super shined brightest....
Also, the mankind Noah saved, may have included the wives his Egyptian
sons saved: because Noah was born of the rebellion-group gods: the
El's.)
(Note that while this solves the male-lineage birthyears, it
leaves Noah's 82-year-older first-lineage wife, daughter of Enoch, virtually
impossible unless it involves multiple adjustments: If, Anu sired Enoch's
first-daughter on his own schedule 2-years-late, reattributed as Lamech's
100th... It may also be notable that Enoch's, 498th, was nearly the birthyear of
Japheth or 4-before Shem, However his daughter could not have been 582 then--
unless she'd been sired into Jared Marduk's and later transferred to Enoch
Horus; male and female lineage-vengeance kept separately.)
(Subnote arithmetically, Noah was 581 in Enoch's 950th,- whence
that 582-age-year may have been Noah's not his wife's, at a different event.)
(The resubordination of Japheth from the Noachic lineage,
appears to be their 'sacrifice' of first-sons, possibly for the
killing of Adam, but in the case of the gods, meant the son was sent up to Anu's
heaven while the second-son continued on the 'Earth' below ... and later a
confused ritual murder by mankind infatuating on wooden-idol-meme-substitutes
for gods long gone further east, having abandoned them ... But thus
indicates the Hebrew line was their Earth-sub-lineage while the
Heaven-first-lineage disappeared from human history, till
Jesus-of-the-heaven-via-Egypt, albeit we do not yet know which-heaven, Nubian
south or Anubian east, for the prophet understood he'd be called by way of Egypt
in the south;- And yet, This leaves us without excuse for their lack of history
in the eastward lands of the rising sun: Utnapistim, dwelt on Dilmun on the
Iranian plateau; Iranian tells exhibit god culture much the same as the Sumerian
... god-longevities were equally declining ... But they were first-lineage, and
would likely have reinstituted the family maintenance ... The most-senior, like
Zeus, returned west, but the youngers would have continued.)
(Noah, Utnapishtim, was also, 'sacrificed' up to the heaven
plateau, -where Gilgamesh found him centuries later;- Noah was, in Anu's,
lineage.)
Meanwhile, in Sumer, the Watcher's sub-lineage children were
getting in trouble out-of-control with Marduk's new mankind, those six
centuries:
ENOCH AND NOACH, NOAH AND NIR, ZEUS AND ZIUSUDRA - ENKI AND
UTNAPISHTIM, PROMETHEUS AND DEUCALION:
Other pseudepigrapha indicate bizarre
circumstances in Noah's birth, -and his brother Nir's son,- that he was born
fully dressed, speaking and praising God, and visage not of Lamech but the
'Watchers' who lived on the mountain above... in other words, a baby already
growing up.... He took to bookwriting like Horus Enoch.... When the priesthood
was later passed, from Methuselah, it went not to 'first-son' Noah but to
Lamech's 'second-son' Nir, and thence to Nir's son Melchizedek -the famous,- on
the command of the Lord by Enoch's old-age advice that priesthood be kept with
Methuselah's line while lineage carried through Noah's: till he passed and
priesthood and lineage-sonship reconverged on Abraham, (possibly through his
wife whence the plagues in Egypt).... Nir's deadly aversion to having sons
suggests he was not proud of Lamech's loss of lineage, though highly
recompensed.
(Note also the reported man-body-size-increase
beginning with Anu and greater with his son Cainan, had maybe begun unnoticed
with Adam's children, that Adam could not control them ... that the
'Watchers' looked much smaller and different; Lamech would not have known of
'recessive genetics expression and redominance' and would have been assuredly
concerned over proper fatherhood when differences went unnoticed for his wives
and himself; and given the peculiar reputation of the sons of the gods in that
era.)
(Note the inference that this was Horus Enoch's
lineage-fatal mistake, losing significant 'immortal' longevity-years from the
Sumerian gods' line, separating a quality of godhood from the individual
long-life demonstration, costing them significant manhood: like murder in mere
generations: Christian Science does not undo the laws of God but shows the
paramount necessity, and the Way, of restoring godhood to manhood, and, so,
reincreases longevity by its merely individual lifelong practice of that -ourly-
priesthood. And-note the correlative that this was the era and cause that
sacrifice of firstsons had begun, that ended when Abraham 'retook' priesthood.
Also note the Biblical contrast of lineage-son Abraham and the
Egyptian Pharaoh who by lineage-history was familiar with the role of
the sister-wife but had not expected, a sojourner, with a sister-wife.)
(Subnote the Egyptian record of Unas Wenis the god who
was flown to heaven by Upuatu Wpwtu, (Zi)un(d)s (Z)wns
Enoch formerly Horus of Ra and Isis, last king of the fifth dynasty, his eating
gods, without complaint, in this same era ca his 7th-9th century, the era in
which murderers Enki and Marduk passed and a war of gods at the easternmost
mountain range between the heavens above and the earth beneath. Anubis Anu and
Horus Enoch were their 'two Watchers', the first-sons of Osiris Cain,
sired by Ra by sisters Nephthys and Isis... This record appeared ca Enoch Horus'
last century: Unas appeared for three decades, restored his father Osiris'
respect-aka-worship and began writing history on tomb walls.)
(The pronunciation-enunciation of, Zinsuddu,
Ziuns-Utu, suggests, sunlight of Zius, priest Nir by reference; Zeus,
may have been, Th-Wns ... But, also likewise Zeus
Ziuds-uddu and Melchi-Zedek, are similar enough to be the thought same.)
This raises question on which-Enki told Utnapishtim,
Nir, Deucalion, Noah, of the impending flood; Enki of Anu as reads the Sumerian
and who with Ellil was around long-after the flood; or, Enki Enoch, or, eNoach
Noah Zeus, as read the Greeks;-- as a night vision per the Book of Enoch.
It is also noteworthy that Enoch had two children of names
root-similar to Melchizedek, -Elimelech and Melca,- and he and Nir together
named Melchizedek, possibly M'El-Chi-Zed-ek/-uk (Bab. king), a
fully-clothed older-talking baby-switch, or, Noah's Enoch-sponsored
ventriloquist act. (Also note the
symmetry in names of Enoch's successive sons Methusael M'T'-Usha-El
and El-Isha; Lamech and El-Imelech god-of-the-kings.)
We'll attempt to close the discrepancy on Enoch, Noah,
and Nir, by suggesting that first-lineage-son Noah was Zeus removed to the
Persian range heaven plateau after the flood, as Enoch had been, -where the
later Greeks transliterated him to Mount Olympus,- and Moses' scribes simply
could not trace his years but used Enoch's years believing Enoch had
vanished at the mountain heaven ... Noah Zeus was not Enoch.
PRECURSOR TO THE FLOOD:
Over in the parallel Egyptian records
King Surid (Ar. Saurid), Jared Irad, declared his nightdream of the Earth
inverted, men falling off and stars falling (upto or men onto) with loud cries,
and deduced a flood reputedly 300 years before it occurred-- and ordered the
building of the Egyptian pyramids ... But note that this same prediction is
attributed to Adam telling Seth to construct two columns -pillars- one of brick
and one of stone, and recording the prediction; also Enoch Cainan and Enoch
Horus both, were reputed with this prediction ... it was probably a big deal,
-though we note from our larger informed perspective, that the dream was
probably redacted of the storied escape from Ra's planet best-understood in the
history he told his lineage-... The pyramids, scholars estimate as
Khufu's XuPu? (Gr. Cheops) et al built ca 2550 B.C., but
which is only 205 years before the flood itself we've estimated
3670-(203)-1122=2345 ... Seth's Columns were last visited in the
Siriadic lands, (scholars identify with Sirius, a star the Egyptians
called, Spdt Sothis), the area of the Nile delta assigned to King Surid, Jared
... But also subnote that reports by later Arabs picked up a notion that Thoth,
also, had used these pyramids-- for safekeeping his knowledge of science,
(presumably the famous-lost Books Of Thoth, cached inside) ... In any case the
prediction was likely imprecise, 30-Sars in later recall, and the
brick pyramids unknown,- unless the term, brick, meant the smaller
two-cubit-wide man-carriable stones used in the first pyramid,-- as
might be removed by a large flood.
(Note that Jared, King Surid in Qingu's lineage, was apparently sent to live
in Egypt, -as Cain before him,- probably for the murder of Tiamut.)
(Note that Khufu reputedly described himself in a stele, as only a
restorer of the Great pyramid, and his own was a small pyramid on the side.)
(Detail-notes: Seth's columns, -one of brick to
last a world fire cf a supernova 3-light-years distant,- may have been
fireable brick ziggurats, and pyramids cased in fire-calcinable
limestone ... The Khufu 'great pyramid' was found in 14 feet of sediment sand,
with salt encrustations in a mid chamber 90 feet up, -after a later
eruption of Thira Santorini island sent tidalwave-dredged seawater splashing
higher with seepage,- albeit the design of this pyramid included a
water-weight-rammed granite plug they were-to-have flooded from the nearby
near-sea-level delta ... this king was purportedly interred in there
though no body was found and the plug hadn't been set,-- making it
more-interesting than all the later pyramids with, bodies... like
Surid Jared Marduk's brick ziggurat tower of Babel, but on the grander Egyptian
scale, in his grandfather Cain Osiris' lands.)
(Note that in Horus' time, Seth and Horus had a stone boat race ...
Seth at least was well into stone construction and understanding buoyancy.)
Note also the Sumerian record indicates several years famine
preceding the flood,-- possibly years of extraordinary heat cumulating
humidity without rain and the flood occurred some years later after the
nova-bloom-heat subsided too for a cool winter with rain at-long-last
all-at-once: The deluge and flooding was experienced worldwide,
but its prolonged shallows mostly on river valley lowlands
such as of Sumer and, Egypt.
(A note for further research: Surid's fame might thus
have acquired stellar Sothis as 'Sirius' for its greatest-ever flood; but Sirius
was below the equator and not the direction of that, supernova;- but by its
brightness, mankind may have added the association ... Noah preferred
a rainbow.)
(Note for sidebar research, contemporary scholarship is becoming
increasingly interested in the first proper-pyramids, the Red pyramid 20Km SSE
of the three Giza pyramids including the Great Pyramid and the sphinx facing
east, and their alignment with a city 7Km NE in the delta, as possibly a star
map of the nova bloom 54°N, the Orion belt and the bright star Sirius, all
adjacent the Milky Way galaxy represented by the Nile, as possibly a marker
before the destruction of Earth civilization... if not a pointer to Ra's
original homestar location at their original exodus.)
THE DEATH OF ADAM GEB, FIRST OF THE GOD-SEED 'MEN' BORN
ON EARTH:
Jasher's oddly-misfit murder of Cain disguised the
murder of Adam himself:- Adam returned from escape-exile in Africa ... Arrayed
in African wild-animal skins, hobbling on walking-poles since his injury,
looking like a spy demanding attention, Tubalcain mistaking him for an unknown
animal incompletely described on shoot-first wargod mentality: Tubalcain the
instructor of artificers of brass and iron ... Lamech shot ... Adam forgave
Lamech by moralizing to, Say it was Cain he'd struck-down... and
whence both Adam and Cain were doubly-recorded as dead in the same year -the
same day-.... (Jasher indicates only the Egyptian side of the
family buried him: which may mean they paraded through Egypt.)
(Note that Enoch, in order to have attended Adam's
burial, per Jasher, must have returned: wherefor Moses' Genesis-scholars
expanded their chronology, and kept quiet on Lamech's loss: as they did on
murders of senior gods: a trouble of-which Jesus complained about their
fathers.)
(Note thence the proper, moral-- that Adam believed he existed
because of arrow-ships shot across space at a habitable planet, and so died;
Albeit the Biblical notion that Adam died because he ate of the Tree
of Knowledge, may yet be stretched to the point that Lamech was hunting
untended undomesticated wild game and so caught Adam by that childhood
error in the open: that untempted obedience improves longevity.)
(But note also that Adam, in saying it was Cain who was
killed, was metaphorically but finally placing the blame on Cain and putting
thoughts of Cain's onus to rest: as none after Jared would have known Adam or
Cain directly, and none should worry of Cain again at his father's words....)
(Adam's and Eve's garments were given to Enoch, -Horus,- and
thence to Methuselah,... the Egyptian strong first-lineage side of the family.)
THE FINAL FLOOD WARNING,-- ENKI CAINAN, OR ENOCH
HORUS, OR NOAH ZEUS, SPEAKS BEHIND THE WALL:
The wall-- of the house-- of Ziusudra Utnapishtim, say
the Sumerian and Babylonian records:-- probably Nir... And not-only
an imminent flood, but the famous retelling of the gods regretting their
creation of mankind so prone to disasters: One of the gods, Enki, Enoch, Noah,
warned a young earther-god, Utnapishtim, Noah or Nir, to build an ark in five
years, to carry men, and local-animals, a year upon the flood....
There is ancient-report of a
Saturnlike-ringed supernova in the northern sky, --probably concluding centuries
of its bright stellar precursor bloom giving rise to Adam's prediction
of fire-or-flood, Enoch's prediction of destruction, King Surid's dream, and
Noah's reputation for refraining from having children, and enhancing their
Watcher sensibilities,-- the event itself may have doubled sun brightness
24-hours-daily for 47 days quickly melting all northern polar and winter ice,
affecting weather over months; permanently, afterward:- The north polar icecap
is thin in our era but not necessarily in theirs built-up sturdy
during the ice age, And melting may have raised sea level 6
ft. and warming seas yielded water vapor for an adjusted super-monsoon
downpour once in the northern hemisphere, and increasing snow on the
south pole (average age 5-millennia today) ... Additional effects,
included mutation of the genetic-code by which mortals procreate, plus
centuries-later thick interstellar-wind-haze of ionized-atomic-iron oxidizing in
the atmosphere: seeding more major rains and floods.... Ra had seen
maybe a dozen, and could tell what was coming.
(On the other hand of the historical balance are the ancient sea
kings and their maps showing the land boundary of Antarctica today under ice...
Although meteorological scholars estimate that could have occurred millennia
before the Biblical Genesis, it is plausible that a supernova in the southern,
sky, reduced the south polar cap 5000 years ago, raising the sea level,
resetting icecap aging, etc. It is even possible that the Biblical 40 days rain
and year of flood refer rather to 40 days brilliance of the supernova, and its
year persistence, as seen from other places on Earth.)
Nir's son Melchizedek, was taken on
the 'wings' of 'archangel' Gabriel, --saddlecloths flagging robustly
in stiff wind: on the back of his big fleet horse,-- to the 'paradise' garden,
Dilmun island-resort atop the Persian range, -one of two such places famed-as,
the garden of Edin,- 'before the flood', connoting his flight to safety up the
mountains for the child under special care of Horus 'hawk' Enoch of
whitehorse-up-the-mountain-recluse fame; meanwhile Melchizedek's father Nir
'blaze, lamp, dominion' was later priest Ut-Napishtim 'flash-of-linen' born of
Lamech; Greek Deucalion 'leader', also, on the ark with Noah Zius
Greek 'Zeus', in the same, 'immortal', lineage of the gods: Thus Noah or Nir,
was declared, 'immortal', by the gods, and moved up to Dilmun atop the Persian
plateau, to live with the son Melchizedek and Anu and all the gods and their
children... a whole-other-development up there expanding gradually eastward on
their higher -next- plain of existence.... (His name could have been,
'Utu-N[ir]-Pishtim', or 'Utu-Nabuk-t-im' ... or
simpler, 'Utu-N'Pishtim' lord of Pishtim.)
THE GREAT FLOOD:-- ENKI'S, ENOCH'S, NOAH'S,
ZEUS', UTNAPISHTIM'S:
Then the flood: Enos' flood: The Sumerians record it; The Book of
Jasher says the Gihon flood in Enos' time ruined a third of the land, and the
seed storehouses, leaving none who knew the seeds; (and names the Persian gulf,
Gihon Sea); The Book of Jubilees specifies Enoch as the one who figured the
calendars and spent 243 years with the gods (but Jasher says he ruled the sons
of men in this time), and testified against the wayward sons, and Cainan
therefor predicted a flood, and wrote a book of predictions. The ca 150 BC
Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls, have a version of Book of Jubilees that fits
the flood to ca 1065, a generation too soon... they also have the Book of Giants
and wrote of Gilgamesh... (and they moved Enos ahead 35 years
inexplicably, but consistent with Enoch's 39-years).... Jasher claims that
Noah's sons had daughters of men for wives, yet the Bible says their
first-lineage children lived four centuries, -ages diminishing, but not like
men;- but also says that Shem's first-son was born two, years, after, the flood:
The wives aboard had been picked for keeping company on the Ark amid a risky
venture but not the progenitors of the long-lived children;- And whence Enlil's
rage at discovering mankind saved aboard the Ark, aimed at those wives, not at
Noah or his sons... (Then Jasher names the wives as daughters of Eliakim son of
Methuselah who then passed at 960, but that's younger than Jared who
passed at 962, and Eliakim couldn't have been firstborn unless he
filled the generation-gap before Lamech); The
god-wives-to-be, had taken refuge up the mountain and waited till the Ark
returned to land before immediately-that-year marrying into Noah's
god-lineage,-- and then, the first-son lineage resumed two years later....
(See also brief paragraphs on
Noah's flood.)
(Note also that the Sumerian record indicates Ziusudra Noah's
deluge lasted 7 days not 40, while the Bible sentence is, Yet 7 days, and then,
the rain; unless that's perspective and the downpour lasted 7 days atop the
mountain or across Edin, and locally below on rushing flooding 40 days
... and Noah's ark floated calm at sea a year while the lands dried out and the
trees gained their spring leaves ... the Sumerian being the god's mountain-view,
note in perspective the special importance of the cascading
Gihon river flood for the gods who lived atop overlooking it: their
valley-below-turned-Gihon-Sea as-if-extending the gulf north-northwestward.)
(Their declaration of Utnapishtim's immortality was more Enlil's
expressed relief-- that it was a god, who had saved some mankind not alone.)
(Note that Nir was youngish ca-120 years
old and so first-thought to be an ordinary human aboard the ark,-- in addition
to Noah's sons' wives.)
(Co-note: The passage in Genesis 6, ordinarily
best-interpreted to mean mankind would-or-should live yet 120 years, may have
had another purpose meaning "... the LORD said, My spirit shall not always
strive with man, for that he also is flesh [as the gods]: yet his days
shall be an hundred and twenty years [distinguishing men,-from-gods] ..." that,
after the sons of the gods had sired many offspring among mankind,
they could no longer generally distinguish man-from-god by appearance, -though
maybe their parents knew;- yet they were assigning themselves privileges and
therefor they instituted their 120-year-rule, as a 2x-3x factor unachievable by
ordinary mankind, yet of little consequence to the youngest gods themselves....
The Sumerian record indicates Noah, was deemed a man, until sometime after the
flood and he was centuries old,- though the longevity of the gods
after, Noah, shortened to 200, and the distinction between man-and-god again
became a big question, whence Abraham's surprise truer, having a child at 100
with Sarah 90 would have been unprecedented unless they themselves
were of god-lineage-longevity, but his immediate predecessors were of
the then-contemporary rapid-decrease in longevity and Abram and Sarai thought
funny that they might be handed godhood by the visiting 'Yhwh': after
Utnapishtim had failed Gilgamesh ... The 120 was
just shy of 122 years, when a father received the first-lineage
child sired-in by his own father god and so achieved god status himself.... Most
of first-lineage, down through Moses who left at 120, were living 130-plus
years.... And they may have also
settled on only grandfathers siring-in.)
RECOVERY, AFTER THE FLOOD SUBSIDED:
NB. Although Moses' Bible ended all gods but Noah
before the flood, the patriarch-gods high on high ground survived the flood,
while mankind below did-not except the sons' man-wives in Noah's ark: The
Gilgamesh fable has Anu alive awhile after, and the Sumerian record has Cainan
Enki at Babel after,- which refutes even the possibility of a second story-flood
that never got told. (There were plagues too.) In the Izdubar fable version
there is no mention of the flood but it does tell that Izdubar Gilgamesh is the
son of Khasisadra Noah by wife Ur-Hea (Grk. Hera, wife of Zeus)....
Also noted was that the Greek indicates Deucalion Noah was born of
Prometheus, Epimetheus' older brother Enoch Mehujael-before-Methusael, Horus,
who brought fire, his winged sundisk, to mankind, and suffered a claim of
liver-ulcer 82-years brought-on by bird, Seth or Ra striking him:-
Jasher clarifies that Enoch was Methusael's-wife's, brother: Lamech's uncle.
(Note: Gilgamesh Izdubar was descendent of Utnapishtim
Noah, possibly Ham's Canaan's first son Sidon/Tsydwn-bar or a
Girgasite but who followed the flood: Either his fable is a mix of flood
stories, or he was, so,- born of Noah earlier by a daughter of mankind, as had
become so common under Marduk. He was also a contemporary of Nimrod of Cush of
Ham: Both are credited with building Erech Uruk; both were giant men,
hunters, wicked tyrants taking the first sons of men -and whence the
later story of Abraham's intended sacrifice-... His rejection of Ishtar was
oppression-humor for mankind that, despite his absolute womanizing, even
strapping giant Gilgamesh had his limits regarding tiny 700-year old
goddesses.... Gilgamesh, is apparently a title, equivalent to Bilgamesh, meaning
a learned sage: His fable tells clues such as Anu's passing-the-bull almost
immediately after Ishtar went to him over Gilgamesh's snub, -perhap she removed
Anu as she had removed lovers;-- and of significant events of
earthquakes and facts such as the gods' rift-crack in the Persian mountain range
... Greek records indicate Zeus' son Heracles, Ziusudra Noah's
Ur-Agil-gamesh, was a giant man, while giants were larger and deformed and
sprung-up in Zeus' time-- from Epimetheus Methuselah's wife Pandora's Jar 'Box',
-and which led to a revolt and the extinction of the giants,-- probably the
greater reasons Noah purportedly abstained so many centuries from
having lineage children before the flood.)
(Subnote. Giantism occurred in Sumeria from the gods taking
daughters of men:- the Watutsi of Ethiopia may have been from Cain's
jaunts.)
(Subnote, Anu's Bull of Heaven depicted as causing
earthquakes that swallowed men with each snort, may have meant giant boulders
rushing supersonic speed down the mountain, pinioning birds in flight,
flattening forests, boiling fish in rivers, -as a story of Ninurta, describes,-
striking bottom ... that may have been prepared by Anu and the Watchers atop the
mountain, to protect their dwelling; The six-century earlier bulldozing Cain's
house, that killed Cain Osiris and Eve Nuit and left Adam Geb injured, may have
been a smaller such strike started midway up.)
(Subnote. The fabled journey of Gilgamesh to find Utnapishtim,
depicts an east-west-twin-headed mountain Mashu adjacent the Persian range,
12-double-hours hike eastward 'sun-return' through a narrow hot dark
mountain fissure gradually rising till incoming "north" -chilling-
winds blew, eventually reaching fertile land in sunlight and a little further
crossed a 'poisonous sea' lake to reach the gods' island
Dilmun... Thus 20-40 miles hike stumbly-slow up a tortuous close-in
dark 'valley of the shadow of death' rift at 3-6 degrees grade, into
the plateau about a mile high.... Note the 'poison' in their lake,
if not volcanic though unexplained in the fable,
may have referred to the gods' experiment in mass-producing mankind;
and also note their sense of 'north' included the 'biting'-colder
clime up the -east- mountain range.)
BABEL TIME:
EXCEPT,-- we haven't a proper fix
on Noah's era to his flood: it didn't pack right: Though we've uncovered much
that did, the Sumerian record tells of Enki Cainan 'changing the speech' of the
people that they no longer had one language, -the fame of Babel,- But Cainan
Enki passed in 1235, 29 years before the Babel incident Jubilees assigns to Reu
(and to Peleg the division of lands among Noah's sons after the flood)
amid 43 years amassing the tower-- which doesn't fit unless his-own
speech changed, delaying them the 43 years ...
(However, Jubilees' birth years are grossly different
than in the Bible, possibly the flipside of Jubilees' assumed compaction of
years after Jared; or more importantly Jubilees finds another step in
lineage, Kainam, between Arphaxad and Salah the latter whose
name was patterned on Methuselah M'T'W'shelach then-oldest great-father or
just-passed); And just possibly, Enki was Enoch returning
from two centuries teaching the young gods in Dilmun atop the Persian range
mountain plateau, -oddly enough agreeing with the Greek record that
Zeus' Deucalion was born directly of Prometheus Enoch,- and
just decades later the gods found the mankind Noah had saved aboard his ark
included his sons alive, and they were elated that Noah, of all, was having
god-children not just man-children; -mankind having become so numerous in the
image and likeness of the gods, that finding a god took genius;- And the gods
declared Noah and his lineage 'immortal', and adopted-in after Lamech... And
whence Noah was redeclared, Menachem M'Enoch-Im, 'a comforter': a comfort
knowing they were not the last of their god-kind on Earth. (Minor note
that Jubilees comments that Noah was righteous above all men -all gods,- save
Enoch... where we see he was Enoch's special brood from Anu's
mountain-heaven....)
(Subnote the name, Peleg, means division, plage, by-which the
Greeks denoted the Aegean Sea, Archipelago: the island-dotted water divide.)
(Subnote also, in the time of the division of lands, Shem
got westward from Mesopotamia, continuing the premise that the first-lineage
children resided in the east; Ham got south-westward, whence the name of Egypt,
Kemet, 'Hamet', and Japheth got the north-westward: Noah used the latitude and
river-adjusted-longitude of Babylon, for his threeway division ... which
suggests the more-curious purpose for the tower at Babel: a common landmark
that all could see afar across the flatland steppe, for surveying
their spread and keeping an eye on government-central; and secondarily
subnote that Jubilees puts Japheth in the cold, northeast, Shem in the temperate
middle, all of Edin, and Ham in the heat, south.)
(Minor subnote the Book of Jubilees -and possibly others- refers
to an overthrow in which language was thereafter confused... this is commonly
taken as the Tower of Babel but which was more human perspective, and quite
probably mixed with the Rebellion in the East wherein Enki had committed the
murder of Apsu over confusing words, "loud talk", false accusations,-- and with
confused words soon leading to that overthrow ... Nevertheless the Book of
Jubilees implicates a vivid depiction of what did happen at Babel: They'd spent
43 years preparing a mount to be the desired pyramidal shape, and in the 43rd
year finished it in fired brick and asphalt-cement, But before the final
closure, or possibly despite it, a mighty wind lifted the brick wall off the
mount and "overthrew it upon the earth..." Enki's language confusion had been
his forewarning them....)
(It is potentially corroborative that the Second
Book of Adam and Eve claimed that Enoch was already 800 when Jared passed-- for
here we've found that Enoch was alive in his 800th year of rule...
Apparently there were some who knew of Enoch's return, which indites that the
gods knew even if mankind's scribes didn't get the straight story ... Note also
the book uses depictive language as when Cain "went down to the bottom" of the
mountain, away from the garden: meaning the perspective of approaching a
mountain looming above its bottom level ... but the book is also an inconsistent
record of statistics, factoring ages, amid occasional insights on events,
places, and at-least-two-regions, Sumer and Egypt.)
AND NOW THUS ARE CONFIGURED the same persons and their
true lineages and the first realistic timeline solution to Biblical GENESIS....
THE POLY-LINGUISTICS (of archaic international names):--
PRONUNCIATION AND ENUNCIATION; PHONETIC AFFINITIES:
Aside taking many additional names, titles, suffixes, -as made the
gods seem more numerous when travelers talked,- linguistic differences in names
Osiris and Horus involve dnr-d-n-r and ngh-ch-k-c-s affinity-translations for
Cain to become Osiris, and Horus, Enoch or Khanuk; cf the Egyptian
alignment star Spdt Sothis, is Greek Sirius Roman Canicula (a
different word), in constellation Canis Major; cf the language-various names of
Enoch city Unug Uruk Erech Warka; (affinities also appear within languages, cf
Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadrezzar, Akkad Assyria); and even more direct, Nekhen,
Horus' city, Enoch-en, and Nekheb across the river, on the gold route between
the Nile and the Red Sea; and, over the centuries Horus met Seth at Naqada
cemetery north of Karnak on the upper Nile, (Scholars have dated the
first Naqada era ca 3850 BC, probably earliest Ra or Ptah rather than
Shw or Osiris). Also the original pronunciations, were closer: Enoch, was more
properly ChNWK (the original Schnook the blamelessly-wrong baby), today less
enunciated, more silent; and Horus/Heru was Horakhty. (The name Enoch may also
give double entendre to the Egyptian ankh, the Pharaohs' official symbolic life:
their Enoch-essence of lineage).
(Compare also the dr-affinity that persists today in the rolled-R,
which may have also had a nasalized augmentation.)
(Another example, between canonical and non-canonical
Scripture: Enos 'Enoch' begat Cainan 'Gaidad' who begat Mahalaleel
'Maleleel'....)
(Note that modern Sumerian scholars translate Unug Uruk Erech to
Unu+ city, extended spread of an En lord, +ug +uk chiefmost.)
Affinities proliferate: Osiris, Egyptian Wsr, was probably pronounced
w-nasal, Wnsr, becoming Anshar/Ansar in Assyrian ... Similarly also
the pronunciation of Chwh-Nuit, Egyptian Tefnuit, Twnwt
becoming Tiamut in Sumerian, Tiawath in Akkadian-Assyrian, Tauith in Babylonian;
And each name had many enunciation-pronunciation variants: Osiris Assoros Asari
... Osir Aser Asar Ashur Azur Ausar Wnsr Anshar Ansar....
(Note the enunciation of N is near Ng, as in
the Sumerian city Kienger Shngar Shinar; and likewise W
nearer Wng than Wm herein so-denoted;
Whence also it is linguistically possible to directly stretch Sumer
Shumer, to Shwngir Kienger Kienger
modernly Shingar Shinar ... and possibly the stretch was
even assumed, after Shw, for Anu's Ki, Nephthys' daughter sired by Shw ...
Also compare the Hebrew N-G font similarity.)
(Note the longer name, Ra-Horakhty, may have been
Ra-Heru-Khwty:-- Horus' sire Ra, his mother's sire 'Khwty Huty Hoth' the later
great-T-Huti Thoth.... And subnote Thoth's Greek-affiliate-name, Hermes, while
it hints of T-Khwty, as W-nasal with Eh caused by the Kh is R-like Oe Ö,- He was
the Lord of Khemenu/Khemnu city, which sounds similar to 'Khöme-Nu'
Hermes.)
A simple arrangement-affinity is found in Ziusudra Atrahasis: the
d-t and z-s affinities; Ha, being article, The/A, -Sis-Atra,-
Atra-Ha-Sis ... albeit, Atrahasis was already also known as Khasisadra; Kha,
being an enunciation of the article, Ha.... Ziusudra, was, Xisuthros,
in the Greek....
(Affected-affinities, l-r, zh-kh, may have remoted the name of
Azura, to Akhura-Akhula, Akhlia, Aklia, in The Second Book of Adam and Eve.)
WORD-PARTS, NAME-PARTS, ROOTS, AFFIXES; REFERENCE-TITLES:
Words and names are compounds of intelligenced phonemes with
implicit interstitial prepositions: i.e. object-(preposition)-object; e.g. MN
min M'N the firstmost-of/to/for-the-second i.e. the seed ... Apparently they
found the prepositions too fluid-plastic to call, and left them to the listener.
The Biblical noun-by-prefix M appears possibly separable from names
and almost a term of endearment or nearness, eg. Lilith Mualaleth, Ellil
Mahalaleel, Irad Mered Marduk (M-'r'd'-uk), Noah Menachem (Methuselah called
him, "Noah/Nch", but Lamech said, "Menachem", M-Nch-Im).
Note in unexpected twist the
M-prefix is also translated 'black', yet baby Noah Menachem was very
white, And yet, 'M' has the sense of bound-limit minimum-or-maximum,
whence liminal, pure-black, pure-white; e.g. man m'an first-of-the-An-lords i.e.
seed; cf the 'im' were multiply most.
The archaic Egyptian-Sumerian
name-title, Shw Absu, was quite apparently identical with the
two-millennia-later Biblical Hebrew-derived title, Yhw Yhwh, in
Greek-Y-gamma enunciation, and, Jhvh, four-millennia later, to the modern ...
Such linguistic cycle appears likewise with archaic Egyptian-Sumerian King
Surid, Biblical-Hebrew Yared, modernly Jared ... the S/Sh-Yh-J being a
geo-temporal-linguistic affinity....
(Subnote the Egyptian meaning of 'Ab', is
contentment, and whence the Sumerian is probably in the sense of fatherhood
having sired lineage.)
(N.B. Later gods also assumed titles no longer in use; whence there
was more than one sun god by the later centuries, e.g. Ra, Utu, Shamash, though
it is possible in dnr-affinity to relate and translate Ra as Dnra to
Udnra to Utu, as only R sounds in Dnra while aleph-vowels evoke the d-sound in
Udnra; -cf Ziusudra Napishtim, Zeus-Udnra Zeus-'Noah or Zeus-Ut'u of
Persian-flax linens, Utnapishtim-... Later head-gods were also, called,
Jehovah/YHWH, long after the original Shw, as the term became only its meaning
and title-of, no longer the name, Lord.... And mankind permuted and reassigned
names by story-associations, e.g. Hephaistos for Ptah, Ailuros cat for Egyptian
Bast Ba-Aset not Alorus hawk, often folding-in
older and newer stories of civilization's three starts: the Ra-Shw-Osiris, the
Anu-Marduk-Horus, and the postdiluvian Zius Zeus, eras.)
In the range of titles for lords and gods, the Babylonian was by
latitude: Ea lord of the water-below was god of Eridu[g] south by the sea (and
name-similar to Ur-unug); Anu lord of the heavens-upon-Earth was god of Uruk
mid-latitude; Enlil lord of the sky-above was god of Nippur up north,
(longitudinally they were more similar). The gods also took or were given
variations of their names, in their youth and in their older age: The
terms, El, elder older old, at the common root appear very similar in
connotation: the Sumerian gods were generally each eldest brother.
Also the related word root, alt, high, hints the young gods took
overseeing residences in altitude up the ridge and 'l(a)titude up north.
Egyptian record of triad Amun, Mut,
Khonsu, would have come from early contact names, only-later, (T)-Amun,
(T)-Mut ... The T-prefix meaning
greatest or eldest-available head-parent leader,
would have been compoundedly true of great-father Tatenen
Ptah('pTa)-tanen.... Khonshu the wanderer, was in the Sumerian sense of dingir
(e)din-gir, field-goer: ruling god, (and probably related to our word, danger
'go-around')... Cain, meant a ruler's cane or spear, Keen Ki-An as in Khonsu, or
in Sumerian enunciation, Qingu King... Thoth Tahuti, was
Grk. T-Hermes (T-Hönti),- and further known as
'twice great and thrice great' meaning great-great-grandfather at the time he
wrote after Tamu-Ra had gone west into the Tuat after
Horus' grandson and great-grandson, after Horus-vs.-Seth 80 years,
before Horus' great-great-grandson....
(Possibly, Methuselah's name was M'T'WS-Lah, comparably to Cain Osiris Wsr
WS-Rah.)
(Note the possibly better translation of Atum-Ra
to Utum ... And, Ra, may have meant, a supernova sun-burst,
Utu Shamash the plain sunlight.)
(Note. In Egyptian, Eye-of is, Ar(t), the linguistic
reverse of Ra, the sungod; but in Sumerian, Utu was sungod Shamash, but, Utu,
meant, to see: Possibly the scholarly spelling-pronunciation-enunciation has
missed an inflection or nasal emphasis on the otherwise-palindromic
reiteration.)
The Egyptian name, Nun, and Sumerian titles, nun, nin,
indicate water, a narrow river cf Buranun, a secondary lord, a divider of east
from west, possibly by phonetic reduplication, n'n, cf An lord, related to
English noon zenith meridian, ninth n'n-het hour, German nun English
nőw. Though there is no record of Nun being on Earth, but as
Ptah-tanen T'Nun, it was possibly in the sense of his first
lineage, and dividing past and future.
(Note that the name, Zeus Zius Ziungi,
presents possible linguistic trouble as ZiunGi Shw-Ki,
when it should be Ra Temu-Ki ... unless Z is Ts and Ziu's is Tsum'sh,
T'Shw, cf the Berber Ti-Swa lands ... maybe Zeus took the lesser title to
indicate Shw as Isis' and Osiris' lineage-father; maybe T'Shw, Jehovah, was
generic, lord, by then, as it was in Abraham's time.)
(Note also Adam's Egyptian name, Geb Gebb Gjeb,-
The Hebrew, geb, refers to arch, back, strength, trenchant, plowing, the gouge,
the ridge, whence of Adam's garden-depression, land-tilling, rib/bone-cage. But
the protolinguistic meaning of Keb, is K'B Kh'Ab THE-contented-Father: Adam Keb
was definitively First-Father of their Earth-family; whence the meaning, rib,
derived from their depiction of the distinction of father or sire, from mother,
male from female, which later translated to tsela the rib exactly ... Their
archaic Jehovahn language was basal-associative.)
(Subnote their use of 'definite articles', 'Kh' supreme
definitive, 'H' relative definitive, 'A' simple definite: in the names of Cain,
Abel/H'Bel, and Awan,-- apparently indicating their priorities: sons Kh'Y'N and
H'B'L, and daughter A'W'N.)
(Subnote: the Egyptian place-name for the home of
the children of Geb, was, Tantere (Gr. Tentyra; Ar. Dendera), --the divine
pillar; trunk of the god-lineage,-- probably wordplay on
(E)den-dera, Eden woods, possibly related to Tartarus as his sub-land
garden-depression: A Greek poet estimated the distance from Anu's mountain
heaven as, an anvil thrown from heaven would fall nine days: assuming one walks
after and keeps throwing: taking a tedious journey by foot, about 300 miles....
A city by that name in Egypt, westside of the Nile, is across from Qina on the
Nile eastside, 300 miles from the Hejez,-- echoing Qyn/Cain sent east
dwelling in Nod across the Euphrates river, opposite the Eden-garden ... the
reduplication of places-and-concepts between Sumeria and Egypt being rather
common: Dandara is Nile-side low-land probably old marsh.... Note also, the
poet's explanation listed two, steps of equal size,-- meaning from the Persian
range to Adam's Edin garden home, and from the Hejez range to Adam Geb's family
city Dendara,- each 300 miles across the two steppes and gulfs and rivers.)
Many place-names in Sumeria and Egypt seem
related-to or based-on names in the gods' lineage; Cities: Kish, Kishar; Elam,
Lamech; Awan, Awan; Uruk/Unug, Horus/Enoch; Eanna, Enan of Cainan, or Inanna;
Islands: Lamu of Kenya, on the equator central to 'where the sun rises', and
Dilmun of Persia, upper plateau 'where the sun rises' before Edin,
'land of the living' gods, mortals forbidden, Adam Lahmu (adLahmun);
Lands: Sumer Shumer, Shw; Sudan Shw-din, Shw's-field-range upper plateau 'where
the sun rises' highest, yearly, north of the equator, (NW of Lamu); south of
Pathros, Ptah-Ra, upper-Egypt lower plateau; south of the lower-Egypt delta of
Aigyptos Hikuptah A-ki-ptah outflow-of-the-land-of-Ptah Memphis city. (Note that
Dilmun was placed variously, in Sumerian references-- on the 'lower sea' Persian
Gulf or in the mouth of the river, near Sumer by freshwater canal eastward in
Edin, -Enki constructed his quay in the early mankind-creation era before it
became bug-polluted;- later atop the Persian plateau to-which Gilgamesh hiked by
mountain rift.... Subnote, Greek Tylos whence Telmun,
Bahrain, is quite the contrast.)
(Subnote, the name, Lahmu, while he aligns exactly with Adam, could
possibly have intoned Ra-Amun in the later Babylonian version
deriving from Marduk's imposition that put all of Cain's line, including his
sire Ra, against Shw's line, Apsu and Tiamut and unnamed, Adam and Eve;- The
Babylonian record may have been a reconstruction informed that Ra was directly
father-sire of Cain Anshar, but disrespectful of Tiamut-- assumed as mother of
Ra because Ra was yet siring and Adam had long gone by Marduk's trial; Marduk
was the culminating son of fathers.)
(Subnote the local-name of Egypt, Kemet, commonly assumed
derived from Noah's Ham, is more likely with Ham derived from T'Kwnt
T'Hőth.)
CONSONANTS AND VOWELS; LEARNING IN TIERS:
In Sumero-Egyptian-archaic-Hebrew protolinguistics, basic
consonants and liquid vowels sufficed then-contemporary mankind needing only to
identify things and gods as authorization... Inflections of meanings, by vowels,
were pertinent for the gods speaking among themselves, but not recorded ...
example the 'Shekinah' (she:puff)-kinah, diminuitive to 'Shukinah'
(shu:Shw:breeze)-kinah diminuitive to Upsukkinaku Apsu-kinaku,
Father-Shw's-kinaku,- knk, being the identity-word for gold,-- Father Shw's gold
denotating his council of sons-on-Earth, Ki, name-patterned on later Ka-Nk (soul
of) Enoch;-- The linguistics were such that, knk, identified the same whether
inflected as Shw's-kinak gold-on-earth, or Shw's-kanak sons'-souls, etc.... (The
subject of protolinguistics
and its simplified 10-12-base-letter alphabet, is presently
in development.)
Aleph, approximated by glottal stop, was a
pronunciation-enunciation-eloper in their archaic language, effecting
vowels, ah, eh: Aleph indicated accentuation, cf eNg-Ki
vs. Ngn-Ki ... Although it is said that Hebrew-linguistics had no
vowels, it did-have liquid 'vowels' Y (E), W (O-mega-V), in addition to nasals
(voiced; nasal 'vowels'), voiced-consonants (compounded-with voicing), and their
alef-cant short-vowel.
SUMMARY:
By reconstruction from the consequential external variants, we may estimate
that the gods' quieter tongue consisted of combined consonants and nasalized
liquids, close-lipped sibilant, highly aspirated and un-aspirated with nearly
obscured or implied sub-vocalized vowels, resulting from stiffer short tongues
and tip-of-the-mouth speech, characterized as birdlike (referring to
part-god Gilgamesh) and spoken by animals too (referring to aboriginal
mankind as animal, cf Thoth's observation of baboons), -a narrow shift from
open-mouth human speech, sounding and heard differently in affixture of vowels
and hearers' expectations;- Phonemes included, khsh kh rather than hard k, and
sh nearly s, whence the unexpectedly-common ngh-ch-k-c-s affinity ... and, wn,
dnr, lr,
oph ... Early Hebrew and Kemetic (pre-Egyptian)
Semitic and sematic linguistics captures much of this Sumerian flavor in
spelling alphabets: unpointed.
COMMENT:
It is also worthy of comparison how close our own English language is to the
original Sumerian and Sumero-Egyptian:- Particularly it may help understand the
concept in word rather largely when words are already quite fluid-plastic in
meaning: For example, Sumerian sag, is translated everything from, head, to
leader, to gift, even a slave, or person, while in English, sheep are counted by
head; and if we look closely enough at the concept word of sag or sack, we see
the head a part of the body that sags even upright (animal heads are more
definite, sags) ... Whence the meanings are clear: a gift sack, a protocol, the
leader the purse holder or the purse itself as underling to a god, or, underling
to a master ... saga, a cohesive story to deliver, a mindset ...
sacred, possibly a sac+kur (the gods') mountain head(sack) to-which
mortals were forbidden....
A SUMMARY CHRONOLOGY OF THE EARLY
PATRIARCH-(AND-SOME-MATRIARCH)-GODS:--
(They all looked like twins but of different ages,
fashion, demeanor, eating and exercise, weathering ... very alien on
then-contemporary Earth.)
Note that lineage denotations are rarer than connotations that seem to result
in mix-and-match lineages when merely intending some famous precedent honor,
character, quality, household upbringing, etc;- Herein we've tried to resolve
the actual identification, knowlege, or deduction:
(Bibl. year, is in the
Jubilees-364-day-'year' roughly-best-coinciding with the 8th-100th-'moon' in its
generational 65th-'year' accurate to 1/666.)
(In red, are not-broadly-agreed references,
not-necessarily-impossible versions, coarsely
corroborative.)
(In blue,
traces our more-accurate years, including Seth's Enos as Cain's first-Enoch born
in Egypt, acquired to Sumeria 39-years later.)
(In black, are the authorized fit versions, the most-broadly-agreed primary
historical references, but not-necessarily-accurate by ±1 year.)

* (The factor-of-two discrepancy, periodic
alternations, and misaligned cumulative sums, in the years after the flood,
before Abraham, between the Biblical and Jubilees records, suggests
single-senior siring every 64 years and lineages parallel to the vengeance-rule
since Horus Enoch, plus the insertion of one extra, Kainam, by Jubilees which
may have misinterpreted the 7-fold-vengeance-rule one fold: Lamech's 7th...
Kainam was estimably 7x64 years since Lamech.... They may have been keeping
corrupted prior records: Jubilees' 59 years to Serug's birth and 62 to
Terah appear numerically exchanged.... Abraham is in Selah-Peleg-Serug-Terah's
line ...but... if Abraham is via Nahor's line, then Jubilees' 57-years to Nahor
and 70 to Abraham would appear off by one week from 2x64.... Corruption in
dating may be due to lack of family cohesiveness after Ra et al retired west and
Ellil et al withdrew, east, leaving Noah's further generations to their own
recovery and expansion,- and possibly a revision to their
siring-birthing calendar, realigned to solar, tropical, years, no longer set to
the lunar cycle, and maybe exactly-8-and-64-years.)
(Subnote Moses' father Amram leaving Egypt with the war party
and bones of their fathers and staying in Canaan occurring a jubilee plus three
years before Moses was born under Pharaoh's baby-killing decree and Amram
afterward taught Moses writing -says Jubilees,- signals a plot.)
Note the correct reading of "children of Israel" dwelling in
Goshen Egypt 430 years would be the [generations] [by way of] Israel, meaning
the generations of Adam, Shem, Abraham, through the branch, of Israel,
and probably total elapse time since Abraham lived there and obtained Egyptian
handmaid Hagar who bore him Ishmael in his 86th year, for his wife Sarah,
possibly there or immediately thereafter upon leaving.... (Subnote
scholars also suggest the name, Israel, may have been also a nickname for
Abraham:- and thence like-grandfather-like-grandson.)
In summary total this calendar spans 31-43 Biblical
births: 20 from Adam to Abraham (21 by Jubilees), 6 more to Moses' Exodus, maybe
1-2 more before the Thira eruption, plus the 5 early gods from Ptah to Ra and
Shw, skipping the estimated 9 missing between Ra and Shw and 2 after Methuselah.
The three listed in Egypt amounted to maybe 220 years ... whence depending on
the date for the eruption, either the Jewish Calendar 3761 BC or project
'lambhorn' 3670 BC can be preestimated nearly correct-- for the arrival of the
family in Egypt and Mesopotamia. The total-years-counted is
6.7-years-overcounted simply by Biblical use of the 12.33-moon 364-day-year
instead of then-truer 365.2424 days.
(Subnote also the Book of Jubilees discovers additional
years when giving a personal age, possibly including nine months gestation,
first, and last, but arithmetically nearer the ratio of lunar and solar years,
e.g. over 142 recorded years, Jacob Israel lived 3 jubilees, 147 years, a ratio
of 0.966 being nearest 354.37/365.24 = 0.970, and no other calendars pair
anywhere so close; And the Bible agrees with the larger, lunar count. However,
Jubilees is not entirely consistent in the method of discrepancy, over
millennia, and even seems to 'hunt' the long-term average: Age-dates for Jacob's
daughter Dinah are about the extremum, e.g. she was abducted at under-9 years by
modern count, where Jubilees says 12. The ratio-difference between
Jubilees' moon-just years and the Egyptian flood-actual-years probably drove the
recorded variance.)
INTERPOLATIONS AND EXTRAPOLATIONS:--
FINAL NOTES ON THE EARLY PATRIARCH-GODS AND ADAM-LINEAGE: ('The
discontents of Pandora's lockbox')
The Egyptians recorded a family-dynasty of
'manly' gods beginning with Ptah the Creator ruling 9000 years but who did not
leave much to show for his effort unless it is buried in the hills west of the
Nile or sands of the Sahara desert or western Arabia east of the Hejez Range,
overlapping Ra-Amun the sungod part of his 1000 years, overlapping Shw
Jehovah the Lord 700 years, overlapping Geb Adam 502 years who moved west after
overlapping Osiris Alorus Cain 435 years, overlapped 28 years by Seth,
ruling 350 years, overlapping Horus ruling 300 years, 80 till Horus ousted him
after building his Egyptian unification, then returning after Horus left for the
east ... all overseeing human kings and early Pharaohs....
Atem-Ra and son-and-great-grandson Ra-Horakhty Horus, were denoted,
sungods, for several reasons, including, When the gods first came to Earth from
the night sky, before Adam Geb, Ra was owner-admiral of the "boat of millions"
(years; passengers), his "long chariot of heaven" (cf their
meteoric impact);
they were gold-collectors, a color approximating sun color; Ra's appearance was
notably goldened from centuries in the sunlight; Horus, became famous for using
a "winged disk", a large sun-focused mirror with wing-handles for aim,
used at evening before sunset or morning just after sunrise when least expected,
to route rebels from hiding and confuse them to fall upon themselves....
Note, Egyptians tell of Ptah begetting Ra on a mound in
lower Egypt... But without proper technical data, that could have been his ship
in space analogous to that mound, or, his shuttle-lander
opening hatches as a flower its petals on said mound in Egypt;
If the first arriving gods had, left a
spaceship in orbit, it was likely not geostationary but triple-synchronous
watching the world day-and-night, years, decades, centuries....
Another, self-explanatory, description of Ra, was that he
was born of primeval matter,-- not of-Earth, but before-arriving at Earth ...
likewise Tefnut Tiamut and Shw Apsu but who lived
long on the Earth before having Adam firstborn of-and-on the dust-matter of
earth-ground of Earth....
(It is noteworthy that a 'starship' journey reaching Earth, at 300
light-years distance, at an angle from their original star motion, in 3-million
years, travels a moderate 19-miles-per-sec., the velocity of Earth in orbit
about our sun, adjusting a tiny 60mph over the last thousand years-- swinging
passed other solar planets for slowing, and our moon for final alignment-- to
match and catch Earth, and arrive 'easily' between 30°N Egypt and Sumer; that
being their final exhibition of a touch of astronavigational prowess ... That
they arrived at our, Earth, one of many, is empirical fact.)
Subnote the arrival of Amun, Mut, Khonsu, and
Ptah, was nominally simultaneous, as none were born on Earth,- but some time
before Khonsu became Shw, and Amun titular Ra... and nominally 203 years before
first-lineage son Adam Geb's birth ... Shw may have had second-lineage sons
prior even primordial who would have stayed in Egypt;- Shw's years as Khonsu are
included in his 700-years rule of Egypt and Sumeria, But he'd lived
187-333 years 3-5 generations primordially name-unknown ... Amun
had begotten Thoth before releasing Mut to Shw who went east and
started the Jehovahn Adamic family; Amun's role thus becoming "the
hidden god...invisible" when Ra no longer used his birthname.
The eastern gods lived high up the mountain
range gouged by the original space-city-ship atterrissage; Anu atop; Ellil,
about the middle; The Upsukkinaku Shekinah, was their vestibule in the side of
the mountain, used for council sessions-- and, where they survived the flood,
except old-youngster Noah pulled animal-savior duty for which the older gods
joked they made him immortal again. The Book of Enoch tells of Anu's mountaintop
house constructed of frosted-translucent sand-glass, "hot as fire
[sunlight-radiance warmth] and cold as ice [touching the walls]".
Some, records indicate that persons glowed or shined inside the
Shekinah Upsukkinaku: Apsu's Knkw-golden shine, or
possibly wall-lighted rather than in fiery shadow.
The underworld was the land base of the
mountain reached by the "long stairway of heaven," where gods dwelt in deep
shadow 'til midmorn; the land of Tartarus and the garden of Eden were
300 miles west; The Egyptian lands below the Hejez range, may have
been Anu's, lowest, underworld. The deep crevice-rift-abyss
'chaos' in the eastern mountain, was a netherworld....
(Sidenote: Christ Jesus' statement, "no man hath ascended up to
heaven, but he that came down from heaven," implicates that the Egyptians knew
that Anubis was Enos: 'a man' having descended from the Nubian plateau, ascended
the Anubian range plateau east of Edin, later et al descending and
reascending... Jesus may have expected to follow the same route, only to be
surprised on the cross, "Eloi [El-Oah/Wah], why hast thou forsaken
me?" that he was participating in a planned deception now-taking himself where
pagan god-men were but using humans.)
A note on the ancient Egyptian "style" ... Though not Hebrew, per sé, it was
very similar at its base:- Early man recognized animal natures as dominant in
their comprehension of mankind: Animals by animus, were a first concern; less by
taste, smell:- Falcons overviewed on high and swooped down on prey: so would
king-warriors; A cobra on a Pharaoh's crown, represented understanding with the
ability to right, by half, in crisis ... cf Jacob's pronouncements upon his
sons, "Judah is a lion's whelp ... Dan shall be a serpent by the way ...
Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf," and millennia later, Jesus' analogy
for his disciples, "I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye
therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves" ... Egyptian heiroglyphic
writing was more graphic than Sumerian cuneiform ... but both connoted spiritual
meanings upon the ordinary things more-or-less-directly, "Eye-of" was the
monitor, reporter, investigator, usually mother, wife, daughter, "Voice-of" was
the representative speaker-for, "Tongue-of" was an
authorized-assistant aide or nurse, etc.
(Subnote. Egyptian gods were depicted wearing
cooler, desert clothing, and only the heads as animals: e.g. Seth's
fictitious-animal headgear appears to consist of the head and shoulder-skin of a
scaly, African pangolin, larger aardvark, or other imported furry anteater, ears
clipped to indicate its domestication as Seth's trained night-hunting
'dog'.)
Apparently, Probably, they started in Egypt while waiting for
their space-city-ship to
arrive and crash on the Arabian east steppe, and scouted the region
about-203 years, Ra eventually starting Egyptian gold and silver mining teams
and lapis lazuli mining.... The impact site cooled and eventually became arable,
and Shw and T'Mwt Tfnt begat Adam and Eve, and toddled-off to Mesopotamia ...
Finding their garden nearest the north bend of the Pishon suitable, but
returning occasionally to Egypt, they started gold-mining the Pishon river
across Arabia, to the Red Sea abyss... While Ptah, Ra, Thoth, the
Egyptian side of the family, developed civilization in Africa at an easygoing
pace, Adam and Eve got Cain, Abel, and Awan, -later, Seth and
Azura,-... But, it really took Cain Osiris and Awan Isis from Sumeria, and
much-later 'first-son' Horus, to settle mankind in Egypt; and actual-first son
'Enoch' Enos of Egypt, and his two, 'first-sons', to develop Sumeria,-- while
Adam and Seth retreated....
This altogether casts a curious light on the reason for Noah's flood:- The
antideluvian Sumerian men weren't merely wicked,- or worshipping gods instead of
God ... promoting the younger contemporary gods, demoting the elders ... They
weren't just saying that Ra's wife was so-old, that to get children he married a
baboon; or Marduk's pejorative called her the dragon of the
chaos-abyss, hideous scaly great-grandma who lived in the mountain crevice abyss
chaos... They were renegade and rebellious, not yet wise as serpents knowing
what was under the Earth, nor gentle as doves quick to move-on at the slightest
ruffle ... Their Eden weather was drying ... Millennia of famines were
on the way ... And,- Sumerian gods weren't doing their god-demonstrations and
producing water: so they reaped a flood showing them what it really meant to be
gods.... (Note that god-lifetimes decreased rapidly after the flood, -e.g. Shem
lived past Abraham,- partly due to demon-plagues spawned by flooding where the
space-city-ship had crashed and burned ... but the problem in Egypt
was different: for god Unas slaughtered, the gods....)
After the flood, the gods rebuilt Sumeria much from their own
part-gods stock ... and the gods quieted down -historically,- there,
and in Egypt.
The gods' stories are weakened by inclusion of mythology, but much of that
inclusion is merely myth-taken fact to-be-sorted by contemporary scholars
straddling the Hebrew Testament, Sumerian and Egyptian records, and Gilgamesh,
fables.... Archaeological evidence is turning up that may bear to fact that in
that era, civilization of the Cainic model was rapidly expanding globally by
sea, though not all due to Cain but that apparently he stepped into the general
trend and recognized its worth and took up the cause and movement and became a
legendary god,-- and whence a myth god worldwide ... The name, Ra, is
apparently known worldwide as the sungod; and likewise others of Sumer and
Egypt: The Algonquian American indians said that the flood was caused:
when Manabush Ma-Nabu-ush/-uk killed two of the Anamaqkiu spirits who lived in
the underworld -that mountain rift in which Apsu and Tiamut lived- whom Nabu's
fathers, Enki and Marduk had killed, before the flood.
(Note even the Egyptians, received-back some of their mythology,
such as Ammut the devourer of Amenta, the place of the sunset or the
sun-returns, the infernal region of the netherworld, who was probably Tiamut
"the dragon of chaos [abyss]:" who was originally Amun's wife a-Mut.)
(Extra notes: When reading Sumerian fables and Egyptian stories, and Greek
and worldwide myths, elements agree or flourish according to their perspective,-
where they got the information, and what they liked to tell ... oftimes seeming
irrelevant, unrelated, and yet oft similar under comparative scrutiny by the
original record.... World stories tell of the gods sending mankind a flood for
mistreating a trout ... true, gods, wore fishskins, croc'skins, the original
formalwear, in tails, enhancing their similarities ... other stories describe
the gods as winking owls, Dumbi... the early older gods were a flock
of twins, equally sized short, had long noses, straight combed-back hair, and
talked birdlike speech -as did giant Gilgamesh, but who was part man- ... And
then-again there were other floods driving men across oceans, that were not
Noah's, flood.... Even close-up perspectives greatly vary:-- the Bible makes no
mention of Adam being called, a god, yet soon enough describes the sons, of
God(s);- the Sumerians described Adam as the man created, by, the gods, actually
his offspring ... Adam did not wish to be known as a god, and moved away
after the rebellion.... We do not have the ages of Sumerian gods but
they were of the same multi-century lineage.... Foreign records sometimes give
insights on conditions and events, who was marrying whom, consorting
with whom, how short the king reigned, -like Gilgamesh who ruled just 126 days
because he upset humankind in his behavior with their women-...
Stories mix with older stories from prior millennia ... kings ruled in parallel
... events may be attributed to someone else ... the gods' speech was
sufficiently unlike mankind's that they were less-well heard ... As for Enlil's
complaint that mankind was noisy, it may well be, as for Shw before
him, they hated human speech, like, "bull-bellowing...."
Note that the name, Adam, may have meant first-man and been reused for
the first demigod generated by Enki Cainan, or after the flood the first demigod
son ... Note even aboriginal words, cf kangaroo, sounds like Qingu-ru, an edible
god or his new suit, from the time Unas ate gods.... Such study is
extra to Biblical Scripture, but does shed significant light on Biblical
accuracy and referential detail....)
BUT THE PRIME SUSPECT WAS NONE OF THE USUAL-- A NEW
SCENARIO: THE MARK AND AVENGEANCE OF CAIN:
Had Abel, confronted with the realization
that he'd killed his older brother Cain for which he'd surely be put to death,
assumed Cain's identity to stay alive?- put an injury-mark on himself so that
everyone would be told that he was Cain... He could live with the fact that he
hadn't killed Abel, who he was, no matter how many people accused him; He could
live with sympathy for the purported victim being himself ... till Eve announced
his replacement, Seth,-- and he moved to Egypt.... But eventually he got back to
smiling and somebody recognized it wasn't Cain's, but Abel's, smile;- mother Eve
saw, and Seth who'd only ever known one elder brother, found out and figured he
had the right to remove what he replaced, got
test-phrases from Adam, after Shw, Tefnuit, Eve Nuit, were dead, went back to
Egypt, tested 'Cain' for Abel, and rose-up and slew him-- in
posthumous Biblical-justification rephraseology: the new replacement for Cain,
no longer for Abel, rose-up and slew Abel... four hundred years belatedly;
and in so doing, Seth got a handle on that custom started in
Cain-Abel's day of sacrificing the firstborn ... albeit by killing the
second-born too... So the world has believed --behind its cover belief--
five millennia, despite the ample historical documentations and evidences...
(This should-not have made difference to
Horus who was not actually of Osiris Cain nor Abel, But mother Isis
was married to him and when the eldest deceased, his estate, went to his eldest
descendant, over any sibling,- that being the purpose of firstborn-lineage:
their concept derived from the prehistoric Ptah-Nun-Ra-Shw
inhouse-arranged-marriage strictly-controlled first-son-first-daughter
inbred-lineage: Horus was the next son of Ra, under Thoth, after Shw and 'Cain'
were killed and gone: after, Nephthys' sons Enos and Cainan, and wife
Kiki's son Mahalaleel, his, wife's son Jared Irad Marduk, and would have been
after Marduk's wife's son Nabu but Shw and Adam were not around to sire Nabu,
and Anu had refrained or been unable: there's an odd story in the Greek and
Hurrian, indicating extreme measure taken by second-lineage-son Kronos
Kumarbi getting three children sired by Ouranus Anu, plus advice from Enki Ea...
but Horus, sired of Ra directly, outranked Nabu sired by any).
Cain's and Abel's twin-likeness we've
discussed: A change of clothes and jewelry at the scene would have been easy
disguise, -for age 32 to seem as 40-... But why would Abel murder his
older brother?-- Just possibly he was scared to death, definitively: At that
time there were three, Cain, Abel, and Awan: He did not know if Adam and Eve
were going to multiply or just keep lineage as their ancestors had done
thousands of years: he also knew of the 'fiction' of Tefen disappearing while
Shw took Tefnuit: he saw himself in danger of personal extinction; and given the
accolades lauded his sheepherding, he got a little air-heady and fell for that
same delusion.... It was the year after Eve's second skip, that Abel and Cain
got into their infamous fight... Bible phrases twist cleverly: "Cain rose up
against Abel his brother, and slew him": Rose up, meant the younger made himself
equal to the elder: Abel, rose up; not Cain;- Slew, could have been
mistranslated from meaning that Cain rose-up under attack, and was slain ...
"Abel was a keeper of sheep," actually reads, herder,- so meaning, that 'Cain's
purported retort, "I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper?" was not in their
sense of herding, or guarding Abel, but angry challenge: the strict sense of
watching in the field where Abel watched for dangers to the sheep, not for what
happened to Cain.... Who, would use such twisted phrases, but Seth under oath to
Adam to not name the actual victim decades passed, but could not live without
giving the facts their due light of truth?-- Adam was plain scared himself; the
younger gods' law-lessness; the murder of Jehovah and his wife; the Sumerians
may have not known Jehovah's actual killer: the accusation of Cainan
was instigated, if not forged, by the same Abel long-guised as
"Cain" An Anshar Osiris Alorus, the first-ever hawk god of Egypt:- Abel had to
keep climbing the ladder of rank as the churning suspicions seethed, below:
Periodic reconfession to having killed Abel long ago, kept political Sumerians
quieter, (and indeed the Abel he had been was obsolete); Even his own name
punning his rising grandiose title, fueled his delusion: Abel/Hbl, H-Bl,
The-Bel, The-Husband ... and bestowing that great name on Marduk the murderer,
tweaked his satisfaction ... Adam, wanted no more of this: and left.... Would,
Abel, have really slain, Cain?- Abel was already normalized to animal slaughter,
animal selection by killing, and wrestling to move the clumsy flailing
fourlegged animals; not plowing fixed dirt; The penalty, wanderer, was
approvable to shepherd Abel, not land-tiller Cain; Building sturdy houses was
shepherd work, not farmer work: plants didn't move-about like heaving sheep
folds,-- and who-but-sheep needed all the houses, till centuries later.... And
this "Cain" went on to Egypt to civilize then-cannibal mankind by teaching them
shepherding skills and farming;- and management of it all, was
shepherds' work.... Becoming 'Cain' was a character conversion, the shepherd
mocking the howling wolf, condensing the flock to trample it to death; the touch
of disguise making it look like a well-executed slaying, imitation anger as-if
anger were strength... But, somebody could read through that, eventually; And
was silenced, without the Mardukian fanfare....
(If, Cain had, slain Abel, the retort, "[Am] I my brother's
keeper?" would have meant he'd fought with Abel, and left him injured,- unaware
that Abel had died from the injuries: not murdered outright, not risen-up to
slay,-- and the Bible should have been wrong for being right.)
(And just commentarily, Cain, did-not significantly have
cause to fight Abel, over their first sister, -Cain being already the first-son
brother,- but Abel's counter-cause was that she was second-lineage as was he,
and should be his.... From a metaphysical perception Abel had one more, cause,
in that Shw being the most-senior-sire should have sired Cain, i.e. Abel
believed he should have been sired when Cain was sired, But child-getting and
identity does not work that way and any other sired by Shw would have been
another, child, in no way the-selfsame-Abel. Ra had only preempted Shw in the
sense of scheduling follow-on sires: hence we find Shw had first-senior-sired
his ordinary last in siring Adam.)
(Note the name, Qingu Cain-Gu, might have been intended to inflect
that Cain returned, not just wandered; Cain the prodigal son come home,
though he was in fact the younger 'Cain' and the older Cain was dead
... Or, Caing-U, may have just meant his heavenly-seniority over Ang-U.)
(It is also 'emotionally curious' that Osiris Cain's wife Isis
never had any children by him till after his body was dead-and-gone twice... She
may have loathed having child by an internecine killer, yet, both of them had
children outside their own union; She may have declined the man of no stable
body-identity playing the roles of both himself in Egypt and his dead brother in
Sumeria, unsure that he was, Cain the killer and not Abel the killer; yet, she
fancied her title possibilities, even finding that title necessary; She may have
lured Cain or Abel in the first place... Or maybe Osiris Cain himself was
disinclined to have a child that might expose him as genetically not-Cain, as
any full-son would be examined closely ... However, As soon as Cain
was dead, Both were dead, Abel and, Cain, And Isis was then free to declare what
had been pretended all along.)
(Note that despite, Seth's, attempt, at keeping Abel's
identity covert, Some Egyptians record Horus the Elder as second of Adam Geb's
sons; Although this is additional to the Osiris role, 'Osiris-abroad' was
apparently just an alibi in disguising the alternate Cain Alorus role in
Sumeria; The Egyptians knew naught of Alorus; And possibly Seth himself had been
involved as Alorus-stand-in; part of his former duty and amiability....
Note also that
Isis-referentially as wife of first-Horus the Elder, may have been imposed: to
double Osiris' responsibility and Isis' inheritance: to seal their marriage ...
And maybe it was not, Abel 'Cain' Osiris' Alorus-'trick' by design--
but compliance.)
Nevertheless; There is, by
circumstantial, yet unavoidable, documentational, evidence, that Isis knew,
Osiris Cain was-in-fact Abel:-- Their story goes that at the time Horus was
grown and ready to rule, she'd taken him before the Council to recover his
property, all of Egypt, from Seth who was ruling in that era many decades; Seth
contended that Horus was a young man, unprepared for military command, but, in
council discussion Isis' taunted Seth so much that he required the council
remove to an island and the boatman refuse Isis crossing; yet she got across in
disguise and confronted him again: as the widow of a deceased herdsman whose
cattle were taken by a stranger from herself and her living son;-- Seth,
instantly, decided this was not right, But whereupon Isis unveiled herself and
declared Seth the same-thief, And Ra and the Council, acceded.... Seth of course
did not believe cattle-herding was the same as ruling a country of lesser
kingships, but, he was quick to accede, and took Horus outside and taught him
knife-fighting and underwater stealth techniques becoming-a-ruler: which so
freaked-out Horus, that, in a moment where Isis interfered with Seth, because
she feared Horus would drown, and Seth reminded her he was her younger brother,
(implicitly that she should not repeat Cain's mistake in killing Abel), and she
released him,- Horus 'cut off her head to the flint'
(scalped her) and ran away, -infuriating Ra,- and Seth went after Horus, and
that was their most vicious fight where Horus lost an eye ("eye of" was the
usual reference to a wife, a mother, a daughter) ... But the point herein is
that Isis' imposture had to be and could be legally-direct, for, had she used
other description of her husband, Seth would have declared her lying
about her husband, -and himself;- meaning Isis knew, as did Seth and Ra (and
Shw), Thoth, and Adam, that Osiris her husband had, been, that cattle-herdsman:
the shepherd-- Abel, impostured as Cain... and she could reveal, now that both
were gone.
(It is worth clarifying that, cut off, meant a
slice: Horus did not kill, Isis, for releasing Seth: She was interfering as he
and Seth were only amidst a challenge to hold their breath minutes underwater,
for rulership of Egypt, which Horus needed to win on his own merit; Also the
record seems to indicate that Horus' eye was popped out, and recovered, and
Thoth replaced Isis' scalp: One of the tasks of a first-son, was to heal the
injured.)
And to top it all off, that's also exactly what the Bible tells
us:- The 'mark of Cain' was not, an injury, a disguise, nor a
penitence-- but the mark of first-lineage, put on him by Shw Jehovah, after Cain
was dead, that all should so recognize him -and none kill him,- for Abel was
then firstborn... With Cain gone, Abel gained all accords and marks, (even as Ra
had a sign and number and secret name; and later Melchizedek, an especial
birthmark on his chest) ... And that special 7-fold avengence was not special
but the usual penalty for killing a first-lineage son, (understand that
vengeance meant additional to the murderer a line-of-7 sons would be omitted
from the senior-sire rule, wiped off the family tablet;-- confirming our
estimate of the 8-seniors-8-year-siring-rule) ... And hence we
recognize that the Biblical record did know that Abel was 'Cain', even if all
the scribes of Moses' did not know why the mark... And the name, Cain, was
either titular or a final-touch over-the-mark, for Abel took Cain's place:
Either Shw was not certain Abel had actually murdered Cain but the accusation
stood, or Shw favored Abel, -as it was written,- his own sired....
(But note then that Abel took Cain's
birth-year, too, for his death ca his 500th, 65+435, was near-coincident with
Adam's exit not 508th for Abel; and whence-also the Greeks had gotten their
notion that Ra, had fathered -or sired- both: for Shw had relinquished Abel to
Ra to take-him-in as 'Cain'.... Also, had Abel died at Cain's hand, Shw would
have adamantly demanded a replacement-son to Abel's age 32 rather than Cain's
40.)
(To clarify: They did not kill the
murderer in first lineage but removed him as if his fathers never sired him nor
in his lineage, and thus eight were nonlineaged while the surviving senior-sires
restarted. The legal curiosity recorded in the east is that Qingu Cain and his
lineage were ajudged culpable yet Anu Enos Enoch Anubis retained lineage,
--whence the later dispute between Cain's brother Seth, and son Horus restarted
of Ra, whence we are sure that Anubis was deemed sired of Ra, and Cainan was
at-times Enoch of Cain,-- And whence both lineages are recorded. However, the
rule needs be resolved for which,-sevenfold-vengeance applied: the murderer's
first-lineage generations and all their siblings, or, upon his own
senior-siring, and eighth when he became first-senior becoming his own
replacement, or, whether sevenfold rather than eightfold applied to 'Cain' Abel
specially-- because he was not yet a father or because Shw's
sire-priority-seniority factored-in.... And, Considering Cain was
already excluded from Shw's family for murder before Seth was born, Cain's
further culpability might not remove Seth.)
(Note for further resolution: It would seem
that lineage consisted usually of the first seven, senior-sired, -the eighth too
young in its generation:- The Second Book of Adam and Eve refers to seven
generations Shw awaited Cain, i.e. seven senior-sire-times; possibly affecting
Nephthys: the grandfather-sired might belong to the next-generation, as 15
years, 8+7, might be deemed too young to be a parent, or, for the purpose of
handling the case of a senior murdered where there would only be seven times
fillable ... or, it meant, Cain died before he was 7×65 = 455....)
(It is noteworthy that the story on the whole would impute more
exactly that, after the murder Shw sought to keep his own favorite Abel alive
in-lineage, and the only way to do that was to make Abel become known as 'Cain',
-with the stipulation he never let on,- and thence he was sent east
to practice being and responding as 'Cain' with his wife Awan, some years, and
then moved to live in Egypt with Ra, -Ra didn't know the difference,- and all
were told the story of 'Cain' killing Abel ... But there, Abel 'Cain' given the
task of civilizing the shortlived barbaric mankind, got the incorrect notion
that the son replaces the father in this world,- and whence developed his
resentment, fueled by abandon, to have Shw murdered, that he would then replace
Shw, as he had replaced Cain,-- even marrying Tiamut.... Shw, in
demanding Cain's lineage first-son in return for the loss of his own, Abel,
-rather than Cain's second-lineage, son,- was saying this was indeed
Abel-in-disguise-who'd-killed-Cain.)
(Ra may have finally learned of 'Cain's true identity, in this, and
ruled against Shw's line including Seth, to allow his-own-sired Horus rule
Egypt.)
Similar 'exceptional' deduction on Marduk, to
his deliberate violence killing Tiamat, discovers that Cain Osiris
Anshar figured-in there, too, Not only as instigator of revolt, but designer of
an attempted coup: The summary, that Isis and Osiris did not have children in
433 years, but both by others, yet, the moment Shw, Tefnuit, and Osiris were
dead, Isis appeared to become 'free' to declare a child of Osiris (albeit
technically of Ra, but this figures-in as well), would suggest that the reason
was by decree of Shw that Osiris and Isis were-not-to-have children-- under
penalty of 'loss' of their firstborn -for Cain's murder of Abel-... In
otherwords, the point herein is, Marduk, believed, Tiamut's child was of her new
husband-and-commander Qingu whom he knew to be Cain, and, since Tiamut was first
lineage, her child would qualify under Shw's decree and Marduk felt justified
that the decree should remove her child (even though as Shw's mother she belayed
his decree):- It took but a nudge from Anshar to assume that a known-seed was
the same as what grows from it, to kill the seed still in the womb-- and take
down Tiamut with, her dead-child ... quite unlike Shw's decree which applied
only to the first-child, not to succeeding, And too far from just decree and
mercy, to exonerate Marduk: This certainly fits their historic details of
centuries, and intones Marduk's subsequent reprieve, and murder of another,
under trial by Ellil's sons, who were second-lineage to Marduk first.
(Marduk's stated primary concern was that she took Anu's destiny, when
he did not understand how;- But we find Anu's destiny was pulled by a
yet-finer detail, that, as Tiamut's son would be truly-first, Shw's decree would
reactivate and have him replace Abel: while also removing Anu:- Qingu Cain's
master-plot 'killed' Abel several-times-over: by killing his replacement,
removing his prior replacement, and one version of Egyptian records even has it
that Osiris Cain had onetime set out to kill Seth himself, but failed.)
The Bible and Book of Jubilees
together, put a little finger on Abel:-- Enoch's birth in Jared's 162nd,
points-back to who was the father at Enos-first-called-Enoch's birth: 235 - 162
= 73: Abel. Eventually his disguise cracked, And in a dither
between right and wrong, with Apsu and Tiamut removed but Adam and Eve
could still expose him, Cain made a late-effort to spare them, shutting them in
his house, but to only one-third avail.
The gods had their own lives to live,- But what is notable is that there is
more to the world than the matter of matter: A false accusation of the dead is
wrong, -whether of Cain or of Abel-... Seth sought the facts; He also sought a
higher science of God, beginning at legal. What Christ Jesus complained of, was,
immortality did not justify nor legalize murder and mayhem: All, may seek the
Science of God legally.
AND, ITEMS TO-BE-DETERMINED...
The indictment of Abel remains, but,
while Enos' 905th is from Seth's house, Enos also had an unrecorded 944th from
'Cain' Osiris' house, and the likelihood of incorrect parentages appears more
than of ages. This allows 2-decades for a storied tree to grow to enclose
Osiris' chest and become suspected, and Isis informed; and ample years
for proliferation of 'snakes and monsters' after Ea Cainan murdered Apsu Shw,
before Marduk M'rad-uk Mered murdered Tiamut T'Mwt Tefnuit ... albeit
we also perceive their longer-term hyperbole....
Horus' four Egyptian sons, Imseti Imsety
Mestha, Hap Hapi Hapy, Duamutef Tuamautef, Qebhsenuef Gebhsennuf, were
out-lineaged without a wife by Ra, Shw, Adam, Osiris; Little is known about
themselves (Hapi is depicted as female), and nothing of their children, as also
in the case for the Sumerian lord-sons of Anubis Anu, unknown in Egypt; Yet
there are records of Methuselah having four brothers, names not-immediately
corresponding, (or five but the fifth an obvious misspelling of Enoch Enos'
Cainan as "Gaidad")... Am-seti might be Ham-of-Seth who inherited
Egypt after the Noahic flood, Hapi might be Japhe(th) designated master of Ham;
Tuamutef killed by Neith might be Deu-mutef, comparable to
the name-construction, Deu-calion ... of both, Horus Enoch and
M'Enoch-Im Noah's later restarted lineage after Lamech....
Noah's sons born in Enoch's 500th, would have been
most-senior-sired by Enoch from his 455th sub-offset-5 by the wives, and moved
to Seth's branch offset 40 ... which would make them Enoch's sons too and whence
the name-similarities ... Enki Enoch had favored Utnaphishtim -Noah or
Nir- for building the ark and surviving the flood, with his, sons....
(Note that senior goddess Neith
purportedly killed Tuamutef favored by all in battle while Ra was yet in Egypt:
Tuamutef was either a short-lived son, or Neith lived much later, Or, the story
is a confusion of Methuselah banished to the east, later called, Tuamutef,
'T'Amun-Tefen, who in their
numerical-age-competition when nearing living a lunar-year millennium had failed
to prove his mind and body strength for becoming a T-god.)
(First-lineage Meth-uselah himself was possibly M-T-(W)-Sahluk
(Ar.), there-purported father of Surid rather than son.)
(The name, Hapi Ha-Pi, implies, the contented-father:
a pseudonym or title for the eldest, who made father contented: who
made-possible the perpetuation of the firstborn lineage.... The name,
Tuamutef/Duamutef, is linguistically close to (T)-Imhotep....)
(Note that the four sons of Horus are famously all depicted as
wrapped-mummies: Their stories may have been only referential to Horus; Noah may
have introduced them in Egypt, as great-grandchildren of famed, Horus, to curry
a little favor, and then all-but-forgotten a millennium later.)
(Note that Shem having a son in his 100th, suggests the
8-year-senior-sire-step-rule was kept but delayed 2 years by the flood in Shem's
97th;- that would have been a call by Enoch, but that the lineage rules had not
allowed,-- and may have contributed further to their decline in longevity.)
It is also
notable that Noah's sons' names followed in the archaic-Egyptian order, Shem/Shm
then Ham/Khm (cf Shw then T'Hoth/T'Khwt), more likely proof that Enoch Horus
sired some of Noah's sons, than confusion of Noah Zeus with Ra-Amun or Enoch of
Ra-aTem (cf the later story of Greek Alexander's visit to Ra's oracle at the
Ti-Shwa (T)Siwa oasis, relating Zeus and Amun) ... Or even possibly
Noah sired none: like Seth....
Note
Jubilees' depiction of Noah's assignation of Earth to his sons:-- Ham's, third,
appears an obtrusive assumption of Egypt, as-if ignorant thereof:- as if Noah
were isolated from his own well-informed gods, and, the last
major-longevity god, reorganizing a washed-globe-concept including Egypt and
beyond -or- coming to power in Egypt on Enoch Horus' behalf,
whence the names of his sons, Hapi Jap-het in the north, Amseti
Ham-Seth-i of Egypt the south, and Shem whose name means name, became the new
Jehovah, Qebhsenuef
Qebhs-enuef first-son after then-greatest-father Adam Gebh Qebh had
passed 94 years prior and sired by Anuef Anuph just
98-years before Noah's great flood of Enoch's, 600th ...
It's reputed that Noah had delayed having children, but we find it
may have been Enoch, after son Methuselah or Tuamutef: after
the rebellion in the east ... about the time Unas slaughtered the gods in
Egypt....** (Or, maybe Tuamutef was Noah's fourth, first-son....)
** (For son Shem Qebhs-Anuph to be sired
ahead of H'Am-Seth-i, Anu preempted Seth because that he had been restored his
original rank as Egyptian Osiris Cain's first-son first-Enoch, upon Thoth
replacing Shw and, Isis Awan mother of both Anuph and Horus, moving
into first-lineage behind Nephthys, before, Cain expired a few years later and
-then- Seth became first-son and Anu thence was Enoch of Seth replacing Cain.)
The Sumerian clue for supposing Enoch was intimate with
Noah, is their Ziusudra-version of the flood had Enki surreptitiously
'wall-talking' to forewarn Utnapishtim who was regarded as a man later 'made
immortal' (or that would be, declared, one of the gods, a man, not mankind)....
The Book of Enoch more directly relates conversations among Enoch and his
lineage-sons, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah....
There is also the possibility, in Terah's unusual wait for children till he was
70, and subsequently Abram's wait till he was 100, that there was a return to
single-lineage siring, though not well documented ... This could imply Terah's
70th was a Biblical summary and Abraham was sired 4 years earlier by most-senior
Enoch or 4 years later by the proper senior Noah putting Abraham youngest. The
hint that Jesus worshipped Eloi Eloah, suggests that Noah Eloah outlived his own
sons unknown years and was Abraham's Lord and sire and attempting to increase
lineage-fraction and longevity to Earth-lineage even per the story of old
Abraham's first son's birth, siring Abraham 8th after Kainam who
disappeared from the Bible in a line of vengeance but is in Jubilees to keep
calendar years truer by 30. There was no more-qualified senior than Noah, and
apparently none-after till Eber, fourth after Noah albeit by only three
65-year-cycles, And he, was Earth-lineage....
The Egyptian Book Of The Dead, -of dubious date 240 B.C.
1240 B.C. 2400 B.C.,- records Osiris-Ani revising history by removing Osiris to
'yesterday' and admitting Ra as 'today', who sired Horus:- It indites the
Benu-bird in Anu, keeper of the book of makings,- which might be the Sumerian
Anzu bird that 'stole' the Tablet of Destinies from Ellil, or possibly punning a
sand dune formation west of Abydos that resembles a bird in flight
holding a disk when viewed from space; and further writes of the
'double nest' as Ra's 'boat of millions' and the 'great green' sea: suggestive
of Horus Enoch having lived in both Egypt on the Nile and Sumer by the Persian
gulf, or atop the range at Dilmun sea island.
Note the usual interpretation on Ra's 'boat of
millions' as 'of years' --but-- as one of the 'double nest's, may mean 'of
beings'; Or may mean both.
(Note also, the Hebrew name for Egypt, Double Straits, has a
similar sense of, either, upper-and-lower-Nile, or two-fertile-sides of the
Nile, But with a comparative etymological note, Egypt
was named for its Nile Aigyptos, and Biblically Mazor possibly ma-zi-Ra
filling-throat-of-Ra. Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea, would appear to be
more-related as the source Nile and its receiving-pool....)
Jubilees also places
the garden of Eden north of the Tina river possibly
as we located it north of
the Pishon Wadi-Batin north bend; The name, Tina,
the river connecting across Edin, bears a threeway linguistic resemblance with
Ba-Tina Wadi Batin and Ptah-T'Nun.
THE 'T'-GODS:
Sumerian Tiamat
Tiamut was Egyptian (T)-Mwt formerly wife of (T)-Amun Temu
Atem Utum Ra. (Jehovah taking a rib
from son Adam to create Eve, may have been a
mis-reference of from -her- son Adam: rather to save lineage
after Shw passed; the child Marduk targeted in his revolt.)
Note this reference, may imply that 'T' meant the
singular, top: that Mummu was grand M'Amun not-yet T'Amun...
but which casts curious-light on Jesus' statement challenging vs. God,
Principle, the serving of Mammon-the-maker who'd thus-become, wealthy -and not
merely wealth-itself-... Thus the name, T'Mwt, possibly meant she was
top god of all, gods, references ungendered;- whence Mwt became T'Mwt when Ptah
left; Amun Ra became T'Amun after T'Mwt had passed, meanwhile calling himself,
M'Amun ... and Kwt HOth became T'Kwt T'HOth when Ra T'Amun left....
By the familiar name, M'Ammon, Ra may have meant he invented 'self'-ishness
where the family was formerly communal, in space, and whence associated with
selfish-wealth on Earth ever after-- five millennia so far....
Subnote the missing Tefen, may have been
Shw Khonshu's birthname but he was successful at dissociating it using only his
titular Shw, -while less-covert senior Ra was historically reconnectable to his
real-names-and-titles, Atum Temu T-Amun great-father Amun,-
But more likely prior senior T'Pen in the gap of lost leaving
sister-wife Tefnut who then remarried Amun, taking the name, Mwt, till
eventually she got a daughter and named her, Nuit Nut, and herself regained the
name-title, Tefnut... an assumed name from a colloquial phrase for Mwt as
mother-of-Nut Tefnut. Or, just-possibly, Tef-Nuit was the
mother-from-the-cosmic-night, and in respect for the great, Nuit Nut
was designated mother-of-Earth-nights.
(T'Pen, by name, was the T-god Father of the En-Lords the
shorter-lived millennial generations of whom even the eldest should have arrived
on Earth with the T-gods,-- but for the gap loss of lineage through Tefen which
decimated their prospects for full Council control of up-to 30 T-gods and 30
En-Lords, including wives ... The generations of An-secondary Lords expected to
live as much as a millennium, each: a thousand lunar-years 970 solar-years, even
as Methuselah for-example nearly did.)
(Secondarily subnote that their original first-city was
Tapé Thebes, Waset today's Luxor,- hinting at an F-B-affinity, TF TB, Tefen Tebh
Thebes.)
Subnote: Having here found, that Amun, was Ra's personal name, it
may be that Nun, was Ptah-Tanen's personal name, leaving Heh and Kek without
titles who indeed were not recorded as having ruled on Earth. Later
Egyptian records disagree by separating Ptah and Nun in Council meetings, but
then also put Shw, in meetings long-after his murder.... Tanen seems
to be T-Nun 'top-greatest, Nun'; Ptah, 'the contented
fount'; Nun and Ptah are both reputedly father to Ra, though that can mean any
father-above, but not together: Amun-Ra is associated with Nun in the Ogdoad-8,
but Atem-Ra with Ptah in the Ennead-9... It would appear Ptah-tenen is
Ptah-T-Nun the same Ptah father of the top gods and, Nun.
(And the title, Ptah P-T-Ah, redoubles as
'P'-father-of-the-'T'-greats-of-the-[spacer]-'Ah'-diaspora-outflow.)
THE GREAT-CYCLE GODS: THE EPITOMES OF FIRST-LINEAGE:
Corroboratively, Note that Ptah-T-Nun may have
been the eldest, Amun-Ra youngest, to take-on the task of ruling Earth; and Heh
and Kek and their wives may have been in-betweens with neither top-authority nor
immediate-authority, and simply lounged-around Egypt, as Council:- This would
indicate a greater cycle, of 666-years-average, every tenth generation, forced
by their peculiarly inbred mating order, between greatest-longevity sons living
sub-ten-thousand years ten-times longer than Adam's sub-thousanders...
the next would have come at Amun Ra's 7333rd which by our reckoning was ca 130,
exactly, --which would have been Seth, and maybe that's why Ra so-favored
Seth--... And next-next, would have come at Ra's 8000th ca 796
Enoch-sired Tubalcain, but as eighth not
tenth, but Anu's lineage would have resumed after the expiration of
vengeance for Shw but Enoch Horus objected to Ra favoring Seth; when-and-why Ra
left Egypt for the tuat ...maybe he'd given-up hope on the great-cycle... but
Tubalcain was involved in Adam's game-hunting-death ... maybe the mark on later
Melchizedek's chest was imitation, maybe that, was Ra's sign, shape, number,
name, -that the Enoch's of Isis knew by her trickery-... And the next-thereafter
ca 1463, is unknown-- lost in their rapidly declining longevity 'til Enoch's
passing.... Nevertheless, Noah, as Tubalcain's replacement
94 years later, may, if rules are to serve and not be broken, may be
the great-cycle... and whence he'd be El-Oah/Wah Eloi "the living, god" in
Christ Jesus' day, and even today ... and whence-possibly the story
of the gods 'making' Utnapishtim Noah immortal, and, Moses' Enoch-mix-up ... Of
course Seth might be around too; And Thoth, if he went into hiding:- He was
about 1333-years old when Ra left him in charge of Egypt, and continued possibly
a century there....)
(But note their original calendar year-666 being lunar
would be our year-650 16-years or 2-sibling-intervals before Seth; which
sufficed as well. And, this may have been the very item of Horus' complaint that
Ra was favoring Seth: upon Seth's first great-cycle his 130 + 666 = 796th year:-
whereupon Ra left ruling Egypt and family in his 1000th as Ra: his 8000th as
Amun Ra.)
(That Eloi Eloah was deemed The Living God, by
Christ Jesus, suggests he was either great-cycle or he was
Jesus' era then-current Elo-aH, since the original, Elo Ilu, linguistically
comparable to Jehovah/Yhw-H Shw-aH, since the original Shw... That
Noah Menachem was said to be their comforter for all their toil, may have meant
he was expected to be the great-cycle of Sumer since Tiamut and Apsu were dead,
and Seth they hadn't recognized that he was, and he was ruling Egypt ... Ra had
left Thoth in-charge 94-years before Noah was born: and Thoth had no
great council but maybe Seth and maybe occasionally retiree-or-councillor-only
Geb, and no great-cycle counsel but his wife Ma'at.)
The compound effect of great-cycle every 666 years, on an
8-senior-sire-by-8.3-year 66.6-year rule, is that each great-cycle replaces its
sire: 8 senior-sires, father 9th, son 10th, the next great-cycle the 11th would
look especially like the great-cycle-senior's regular-cycle son so replaced.
Every, 9th, generation, in a properly operated male-born-first order, would be
in the same male-sire-line ... (Ergo, great-cycle Ra Amun T'Amun T'amu T'emu
T'em Atem looked very-like his regular-cycle-sire 'Ra' of 6000 years prior; And
Shw, 90 generations, 10 successive-male sires, 9 great-cycles...after the eldest
great-cycle murdered, or removed for murder...it may have worried Shw, that he
did not know the fault in his line.)
(Each first-lineage senior sired his ninth-following in a
perfected progression; Nine male lines came to Earth, all broken between Ra and
Shw. Shw was in-line with the eldest in the gap, Seth in the second by timing
but not genetically: not the murderer-from-[long-before]-the-beginning.)
Note that the great-cycle was primordial and may have
differed from Earth-years by early-estimate but serving simply to explain....
Shw should have been great-cycle but for his early demise ca his 1033rd; someone
was Ra's next-great after the gap of 7000 years reckoning nine great-cycles
lost: in a revolt aboard his Boat of Millions during their passage in the Oort
Cloud of comets surrounding our solar system, as may have aroused
their worst fears of competence in disputation over awakening a senior,
maybe a case of insubordination attempting to divert around the
arbitrary destination,- their trouble in arriving may have included
prior factors, degradation of their telescope blasted by millions of years of
space dust reducing their visibility to count days of Earth's surface per year:
they could accurately time only the moon and planets for their last-chance
Earth. Note that Shw's age could have been a tripping-point of
contention where Cain was the son of too-old Ra, and Abel of then-first-sire
Shw; but it was likely another clause in their rule of vengeance, that after a
gap in lineage the prior senior sire restarted peremptorily first...
except Ra could not sire Adam, for Shw, because Shw's wife had been
Ra's, but Ra did preempt Shw in the next generations, in siring Cain....
(The more likely incitement, to the murderous gap of nine in
primordial lineage, may have been their change of plan: to reduce tenfold-siring
to better fit Earth months and years, one of ten would loose his line ...
rebellion ensued ... To spare the lineage, it was further reduced to eightfold
and Shw himself spared, -possibly before his birth,- and ninth would become a
sub-senior father-sire of ninth,-and,-tenth.... Though highly likely for
explanation, it begs the question, why, they'd started with ten: Had they hoped
for another solar-planet more desertlike than uninhabitable?)
(The gap due to the Vengeance Rule was primarily for
male first-lineage; it could conceivably have applied to their wives
too, but probably not-- and probably the wives from the gap were the famous
'eyes' of Ra, from which we might reconstruct their lineage, missing Tefn of
Tefnut, Ma of Maat, Nekhb of Nekhbet, Sesh of Seshat, Sekh of
Sekhmet/Sekhwet/Sakhet, Wdj of Wadjet, Bas of Bast ... Several 'eyes' were
Ptah's wives.)
(Subnote, Ptah's name meaning father of the T-greats of
the diaspora the outflow, meant father of the superlongevity 9-millenarians, and
hence Thoth T-Hwty thrice-great beyond his first millennium was expected to
continue as a great-cycle himself replacing great-cycle Shw.)
Subnote: In awkward phrase beginning
Enuma Elish, is an association of Mummu-Tiamut oft interpreted as
Mummu-of-Tiamut, and minister to Apsu, and very young ... but just possibly
Mummu-Tiamat, in relation, was the missing reference to the top god Ra,
M'Amun self-created Amun, and she 'who bore them
all' was mother at the top, after, Mummu; thus confirming that peculiar
arrangement that Tiamut 'T-Mut' was Amun Ra's wife who got Khonshu Shw Apsu by
Ra, then became Apsu's wife and got Lahmu Adam, as wives could remarry down
their lineage.... And the young minister Mummu may have been a child named after
her former husband Amun.... It is also recorded that she had seven children,-
which reference may have intended her primordial lineage-seven, and which may
align the synchronization of great-cycle males and females thereof, and which
may also indicate lineage sparsity, or that the eighth-senior the grandfather
did not usually sire, whence Eve's complaint about Shw.
Subnote that, while Nammu Noam might have
been Awan n-Awmn, Sumerian references have no parentage and
suggest she was a primordial goddess of 'khaos' abyss waters as would
be T-Mut n-Amun herself... albeit, a final possibility might be that
Mummu-and-Nammu were derived-familiar names-of-endearment for great T'Amun and
T'Mut, Nammu, transferring to Nephthys for mothering
Anubis Anu and Cainan Enki, two in Mummu Ra Amun's line, -after the Rebellion in
the East and the Sumerians lost their family ties to Egypt but she retained
contact with Anu,- and she inherited Tiamut's residence.
(Or,
Nammu, may have been Awan's name, Awmn, pronounced-backwards as a
title as might have been Isis' sense of humor, cf Cain's title of, WS-R Osiris,
backwards of, R-SW Ra-Shw, and subsequently her first-son Horus Herwk H'R-WS.)
Secondarily subnote that Jubilees maybe for being later
writ appears to impose a 'moral assumption' on the wives after Kenan's Mualeleth
his sister, persistently proffering the later wives as cousins, "daughters
[possibly granddaughters] of [their husbands'] fathers' brothers"-- but which
would have been thereby out-lineage as well as disagreed with Sumerian records
but which further confuse Ki Mami as Tiamut by description, after, Tiamut was
killed ... unless, Jubilees abused the phrase 'father's brother' to cover the
senior-sire rule under simpler morals for mankind's progress by convenient
omission of prior-correct facts, e.g. sired by Ra were half-brothers Shw, Cain
Osiris, Anup Enos Anubis, Horus Enoch, but they did not distinguish
step-siblings within the lineage, as they were all, senior-sired: husbands,
wives, and sires, were one, secure family.
(We're deducing that the Egyptians kept Ra's
lineage-system of sires and fathers, and so Egyptian prince Moses learned, while
the Sumerians simplified, later, whenever, to recording sire-fathers
... and which crossed paths more-famously millennia-later, on Christ Jesus'
'unknown' sire.)
BITS AND PIECES TO SORT-THROUGH ... CRACKED, REVERSED,
MIRROR IMAGES:
(But still, we are left with the
trimmings of the double-Anubis puzzle: It is-possible that something else
happened to Anubis first-Enoch, that got dropped through their pre-historic
cracks:-- Cain's Enoch who begat Irad, must have been Cainan, as we saw, but
first-Enoch was born on the earlier schedule, unless, first Enoch was lost, per
Shw's stipulation (and whence the sacrifice-tradition that followed), or by
stealth-murder (and whence Enki's near-stealth-murder of Apsu) ... or,
first-Enoch was gotten by Nephthys, of Cain in his 131st, because Ra wasn't
siring in either-half-family, -depending on how strict Ra was for
marriage-first;- Enoch would-have-yet been sent home when the disorder was
discovered, but after, Nephthys had married Seth and gotten a proper second
Anubis Enos from Ra who'd-by-then relented to letting her start having
seniority-rule-children even though Seth was-not-firstborn, and thus Cainan
became very wise at 40-years, a year after Enos was born, because he was still
out of order and had to wait till his-own 90th to become first-son of little
Enos, and then changed his name to, Cainan... upsetting Enos and later confusing
Enos' own-first daughter and son Enlil who then himself started before lineage
... the sum-and-difference being Enoch would be Cainan from the start, and
either lived an extra-90 years reaching the 1000-mark, or died 90 years earlier
than his common listing ... not-much, but a virtual Pandora's-jar difference of
'sic' jokes: the son, old-enough to be his brother's father but Moses didn't
fully catch that meant Enos'.... Revision might seem, possible, but it would
make Cainan the Anubis identified as Watcher; yet the records are not so
confused till the Greek.)
(N.B. Although never
recorded, Shw may-have made a stipulation on Cain's first-son, whether by Isis
or, Nephthys, -if he did not turn him over,- and whence Cain's many-centuries
delay from siring with-Isis, and Nephthys' dress-up as Lilith
later-designated-as Isis: For a millennium there was a custom of killing
firstborn sons by sacrifice, that may have been mankind's interpretation of the
stipulation... possibly Cain responded by putting a stipulation on Seth,
siring:- Neither did by their wives but seniors were providing lineage sons and
daughters several decades.... This might not affect Anubis not sired by Cain but
Ra -but surrogated- and merely living-with Cain, but might have
affected Cainan, sired by Cain....)
(Subnote, the sacrifice of first-sons developed
further later, upon rebellion in the east and later mass-eatings of gods in
Egypt by Pharaoh-King Unas, -possibly a god-... The sacrifice precedent
terminated, -in the Hebrew line,- upon Abraham's resistance and finding a ram in
a thicket....)
(Note: The Annunaki were the lineage-deltage of Anu and Ki, -of the
heaven-mountains and earth,- whereas the Igigi were all the other gods, -of the
lower earth only;- Anshar Cain and Kiki Ki were loyalty-caught-between
as their grandparents but themselves gods of the earth below.... The younger
Igigi worked under severe conditions and staged a job-strike which prompted
Marduk's creation of a new mankind-- in which, one Igigi was killed
and part used for the semination.... Enki Ea's title, Ninigiku, probably meant
Nin-Igigi sublord-over-the-Igigi: being the first Annunaki.)
(Subnote: Cainan's Greek name, Oceanus, may have been a pun on
An-nuna-Ki, hKi-Anu, as well as hinting at the deep-water below the
land. For research, note also Egyptian Khnum Khenmu fits the famous depiction of
a potter creating mankind, and with Anuket, lives at the southern Egyptian
boundary 'source' of the Nile, -depicted as welling up,- near Abydos, and Shw's
Egypt-access land ... Abu ... Anuket would be wife of Anuk, and whence
Marduk's Nabu N'Abu and Enoch Anuk may have been the same... In
family-linguistics, Khnum Khenmu, was Khon-Um.)
(Second subnote among Marduk's won-titles, are many similar to
names in Egypt, with descriptions nearly in parallel: Tutu, possibly meant
Thoth, or T'Utu the son of Neith Tanit T'Nit, in Shw's 'form';
Kenma, possibly Khenmu Khnum or Kh'n-Amun; Asaru, possibly Osiris ...
etc.)
(And, there was still Anubis Enoch himself
who'd remained in Egypt 40 years: One presently-best
alternate-interpretation says that Anubis Anu was-not Nephthys' birthed-son, but
Isis', who disguised as Nephthys, got Anubis from Ra, because the seniors were
not-already-siring children into Osiris Cain's family, -they didn't when he was
65, because Isis, wasn't first-lineage-... but then Isis declared Anubis was
Osiris Cain's sired child -no particular problem there as he would be quietly
second-lineage,- to keep the disguise ... and Ra thought Nephthys failed to bear
child, and would not try again ... but eventually, Isis' deception was
discovered and Ra ordered then-grown Anubis into Seth's family ... Isis argued
he was provably hers, but Ra played trump before the god Council:-- Ra was
Father of them all: it didn't matter which way the genetics went below him, and
the semi-prehistoric record agrees Ra had a child by Nephthys, and Isis was
trying to trick him now, -Great fathers are 'so corny',- Isis learned a lot, of
trickery, that later nearly killed him.... So, Nephthys' baby son by Cain was
first-lineage because it was her truly-first, -a Council ruling had made
first-Anubis, first-... and second-Anubis second-Enoch, she put into daughter
Kiki's lineage because he had to go somewhere first-lineage... and Cainan Enki
Enoch became the Titan who made Anu laugh all the harder ... and to keep Cainan
En-Ki Enoch separate from Anu's eventual own-first son En-Lil, he attached
Cainan to his-own Egyptian birth, and El-Lil to his Sumerian-second, birth....
Other reasons, for this next interpretation include the years in the
source-documents fit no-otherwise; How Cain sired Enoch who was Cainan
who sired Irad; Why second-lineage Thoth would-have sired
Awan; How Jubilees' rule for in-lineage-senior-siring of sister-wives
became disguised 'daughters of a father's brother', i.e. first-lineage
were all step-siblings... which may fit better.... In
other words, first-Anubis Enoch Enos was first-lineage by Ra, by genetics by
Nephthys' stand-in (Isis), by god-Council decree, on standby.... Second-Anubis
Cainan was first-lineage by Nephthys, by Seth's stand-in (Cain), put in Enoch's
family as first-son because he was, Nephthys' first. (Note that we'd also have
question about Thoth's mother with Ra: whether Thoth and Shw had the same mother
Mwt, as well as father Ra.)
(Note that Cain following seniority,
would have started siring in his 130th, Adam's 195th as Jubilees recorded, But
Thoth who'd sired Isis, would have preceded him, unless Cain himself was of
doubtful lineage, or Ra ordered Thoth stop.... The alternative order that
Nephthys refused by Ra because she was not married, went to Cain, disguised as
Isis with Isis' collaboration that she'd get a first-lineage child, and stayed
for the baby and purported baby trouble, and Isis' claim extended 40 years till
their discovery and return to Sumer,-- such a baby was never-in any-lineage ...
Nevertheless, Ra and the Council could have upgraded Anubis to
first-lineage as part of a package compensating Shw's objection to
Nephthys marrying Cain, and removing Anubis Anu to farther, east ... Nephthys
may have then furthered this, remarried Anubis, and got first-son Cainan... but
who would have been second-lineage to the next unless Ra relented ... Either
way, Anubis, had moved East and gotten a second start-date, and Ra and
Osiris Cain each sired one of the two Anubis', Anu Enos and Enki Cainan, by
Nephthys Azura.)
(Subnote that for Seth's Enos to have not-been Cain's Enoch
nor later Seth's Enoch, Enos would have been absent-sired 24 years before Seth
was 130, i.e. ca Seth's 106th recorded as 105, but then either Cain's Enoch was
lost altogether, or became Cainan and Ra's Anubis also went missing ... But for
any of these cases it remains unlikely that Ra refused Nephthys first
opportunity as Ra sought to fill the family with all possible speed, whether
Isis sub'ed or not: Likely Ra did sire with Nephthys but then on Shw's argument,
removed Anubis from Cain's first-lineage to as-Seth-sired at his 5th-offset, Ra
sub'ing for Seth, corresponding to having been born 65-years after Cain, the
same as Cain's first should-have ... The family lineage rules constituted not a
static but dynamic position-filling-procedure.)
(Subnote: If, Isis did-not pull the deception,
though records indict her for much trickery, it may be that Ra assumed Nephthys
was, Osiris' wife as would have been the case except for Shw's edict which kept
Cain separate from the rest of Shw's lineage, for both were first-lineage;--
And yet, Isis pulling the first deception, gives Nephthys
specific cause to pull the second and recover her-own first-bearing status, and
a child... Nephthys Azura would-not-ordinarily have had a child by Cain as
husband until 65-years-after one by Ra, but by-then she was married to Seth ...
Shw may have allowed her marriage, as he had Cain's to Isis, to get them to
solve it, but-then Nephthys deflected to Cain, to get her child
in-first-lineage.)
(A last thought on Anu Enos' schedule: Despite our thorough
evaluation, piecewise and uniformly, the sources still fit like a puzzle with a
third of the pieces missing; We now know that the Genesis chronology was 50%
quicker, and revises the Biblical record accordingly; but there may be other
revisions necessary, as far-fetched as Ellil born before Enki but preempted by
lineage rank: Having re-begun Sumerian god lineage-rank calculation, Anu may
have combined his own ages at their births, with his wives' and mothers' ages:
that might confuse connotations more than denotations and as facts
unconveyed when wives' ages were later no longer counted in Sumerian
male-lineage giving rise to slight interpretive mistake of parentage versus
lineage versus elder-prominence-relative-parentage.)
(A last thought on refilling Ra's senior-sire-schedule-gap:
Just-possibly Council advanced only Ra-sired sons, Shw, Thoth, Cain, Enoch,
Horus, while Adam, Seth, Enos et al, would have remained packing-in the late-end
of the senior-siring order.)
(A last thought on Cain Osiris' first-family schedule and Azura
Nephthys' pretense as Awan Isis: It is farther-fetched-alternatively-possible
that Eve Nuit surrogate-mothered with Cain subrogate-siring for Ra, to quell the
argument between her daughters, -and so Enoch was born in the 195th
still-consistent with Jubilees, and Enos moved-40 to the 235th, explaining the
hitherto-odd re-rank of Nephthys and first-year of Enos,-- and Nephthys' play as
Isis would have been for Cainan, later remixed in the scribe records. Note:
40-years in lineage is more-precisely 40.6, but-while
chronological-years-in-total is conversely drifting down and 195+40=235 would be
more-precisely 194.7+40.6=235.3 not-234.7.)
AND SUMMARY NOTES-- THE LAST SOLID POSSIBILITIES:
A last note on the plan as a whole: Their 8×8 matrix, that
sibling rank offset births 100/8 moons i.e. 12.5 alternating 12-or-13 i.e.
1-year, and the generational difference being 800, moons, suggests that this was
not their original plan: The original-plan, before the gap loss of nine in
senior-siring, was probably, 1000 moons between generations, 81 years rather
than 65, 100-moons sibling-intervals, 8.1 years, 10 moons birth-offset, for
parent-sibling-rank, 1 moon for senior-exclusivity, and 10,000 moons for the
T-greats, 808.5 years, which would-then have been "833" lunar-years rather than
"666" and Earth should have a different "number of a man," than that of St.
John's First Beast: It'd require simply that Ptah had fudged in converting his
T-great generation-years-counts chronological data, from original to altered
memorably instructive;- that the gap senior had died before reaching 8085 years,
or, murdered a prior and nine were removed, when the rule of vengeance said, 9,
and Ptah covered it by changing the order to 8×8 ... the Egyptian gods may have
used the 365 day year calendar because they knew it better suited-- the original
plan.
(Subnote the rule may even have been changed from 10×10 to 8×8 to
save the two youngest including Shw who may not have been born yet....)
(Subnote that, prior to their knowledge of our moon's orbital
month, but which could have been before they set out if they had
space-telescopes adequate for measuring our solar system at 200-light-years
distance, when they were identifying destination planets, and knew only our
Earth's orbital year, their siring schedule may have used one year for the
mother's rank, sire-exclusivity at a tenth, ten years for the husband's rank,
one hundred years per each generation, one thousand per each T-god ... Prior to
that, they'd have used their home-planet-cycles, for spacer-living.)
And lastly note that the
'lambhorn'-estimated 3670 BC as the beginning would thus be the start of
Khon-Shw Jehovah, 203 years before Adam; And is accurate for the very
reason that Ptah had preplanned the family schedule of millennia; And later,
Daniel, was let-in on some of its detail. (Mrs. Eddy's statement that there are
no more prophecies, meant, she, was not let-in on family secrets, nor needed, in
Christian Science;-- The "doctrine of unconditional election, or
predestination," that so perturbed her thought, was not for mankind, but
instruction for a ruling first-family.) (Subnote an 8-year
difference between -211 and -203, may correspond to a shift from originally
Ptah's branch 195, to Ra's 203, to Shw's 211.)
(Addendum Note: One of the strangest, facts, in all of
Sumerian, Egyptian, Biblical, world Scripture, is the Sothic Cycle-Period,
supermillennial coincidence of the Egyptian civil calendar 365-day year
purportedly Thoth's invention, with the Sothic Year measured from the heliacal
rising of star Spdt, Gk. Sothis believed to be today's Sirius: its coincidence
with sunrise as viewed from a place in Egypt, which was typically any place:
Scholars have tried to register Egyptian historic events to then-contemporary
records of such, but their estimate is decades coarser due to the variables and
variabilities of Earth shape, polar axial vector, orbital motion, pulled by the
other planets over millennia, 13 months by the largest; phenomena that didn't
bother the Egyptians watching sunrise every day; like Thoth's baboons;- The
Sothic year itself was early useful as a Nile flood-minder, but over centuries
became misaligned ... But, what's remarkable, is, long-lived Thoth would have
noticed this early-on, and would have made some sort of adjustment for it, we'd
presume ... unless Thoth was himself a fiction and whoever invented him didn't
really care to be involved with mankind; which could refute the entirety of
archaic history to mere cover story fabrication redacting observable facts to a
different-version, to hide themselves probably equally-longlived.... Thoth
should've noticed over his centuries, before becoming thrice-great after Horus.)
FINAL STATEMENT:--
So, The answer is-- No: The Bible was not previously
cross-referenced to the Sumerian, nor the Egyptian,- but surely should have
been....
Careful examination and alignment with the Egyptian and Sumerian
records ties the whole world to the Bible ... despite their placewise
dialects and despite the human-interpretation story
placed to coverup the Scriptures through millennia of disputation,
forgetfulness, and rediscovery....
And, unexpectedly, the
actual first-lineage of the gods and their mankind, appears to be, --beginning
with Ptah T'Nun:-- son Ra T'Amwn, great-daughter T'Mwt, their son
Khan-(Ap)Shw Jehovah, Shw and Mwt's son Adam Geb, daughter Eve Nwt,
Shw and Eve's son 'Cain'-pretend Abel, Shw's later-replacement-brother T'Hoth
and Eve Nwt's off-lineage daughter Awan Asheth Isis, Adam and Eve's
daughter Azura Nephthys, Ra-subrogate 'Cain' Abel and Nephthys' son Anubis Enoch
Enos Anu, Ra and then-first-lineage Isis' son Horus Enoch Mehujael (Nabu?),
Thoth or Ra with Isis, Enos Anu or a lineage 8th-angel and Lamech's
yet-uncertain-lineage third-wife's Noah Zeus who by three wives including
Enoch's wife's daughter's-- Japhet, Shem, Ham ... Cain Abel's and Seth's
lineages several generations fail to figure chronologically but by murders and
subterfuges from the beginning: the lineage almost didn't survive human context;
There are research questions on the later poorly-documented wives, and Noah's
famous son Shem was second-first-lineage. So now we perceive, Christ Jesus'
transfiguration on the mount appearing with Moses and Elias (Elijah El-y-h El-Ea
Enki Enoch Mehujael Horus): three endangered babies trained up in
Egypt and taken by gods or magi ... And quite possibly, Christ Jesus
from-the-mountain-heaven was of the gods' first-lineage Eloi El'Oah former-N'Oah
immortal Zeus Utnapishtim the even-yet-now-living god....
(It should be noted that the Biblical lineage is
fathered rather than this sired-biological, and whence simpler, messier, and
ignorant of mothers... the list of fathers looks more like-- Ptah, Ra, Shw,
Adam, Cain, Seth, Enoch Enos, Thoth inserted?, Horus Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech,
Noah.)
And, conversely, It may be or become, notable, that
the longevity of mankind beginning with the gods, was probably much greater than
the nine centuries so enumerated: Most of the gods were killed: 'Abel' by
'Cain', Apsu Shw by Enki Cainan, Tiamut by Marduk; Eve and
Osiris 'Cain' by bull-dozer; (Enoch Horus survived, returned); Anu
Enos was put down by Ishtar, Marduk by Mot, Adam by
Lamech's arrow (inadvertently) ... and ca Lamech's era genetic troubles beset
them, creating giants and monstrosities, and, a millennium later, the god-line
"immortal" long-longevity discontinued, with 'Jehovah' Shem last ... raising the
odd-thinkabout whether human mortality is more by fiction (and fiction
of senility) than fact.
(Additionally, Unas, slaughtered gods living on lineage status more
than efficacy as gods in Egypt; and Zeus a rebellion of demigod giants, but who
were shorter-longevity, up his mountain eastward of Edin, retold in Greece ...
long-lived Thoth is recorded only as reaching "thrice great,"-- but
which corresponded to Lamech's birth, after Awan Isis, Enoch Horus,
Methuselah; so, if he was Shw's birth-twin, he reached maybe 1423.)
And, the Greek record, is comprised of four
redaction methods:- a 'straight' Greek trans-nunciation of the Egyptian, eg.
Greek Osiris-and-Isis Egyptian Wsr-and-Aset (nearest English enunciation
'Oongsher'-and-'Asheth') Sumerian Anshar-and-'Kiki' (Kishar); and, a
Story-Of-Creation-philosophically-coded (genius or wit) memory-mnemonic
Eros-and-Gaea 'love-and-earthiness' Os(Eros) Al(Eros)-and-Ki (Ge)
Osiris-and-Isis; and, an absurd-poetic fleshed-in-facts tragicomedy
(eg. the story of reaching Tartarus by anvil falling nine days),
including, depictions of extra-limb deformities, busy-motor disorders,
nonpublic; and, the so-called 'Greek myth/folktale/legend', which might be
reexamined and gleaned of stray details and the later generations of gods...
plus 'returns' of gods as LORD, -Jesus,- suggesting there
are yet enclaves in high mountains.
(Note, the philosophically-coded mnemonic, greatly variably by
the ancients, is-- Khaos 'the deep absu-abyss' Apsu, begat Nyx 'the night' Nuit,
Erebos 'the darkness below the night' Geb; and by Nyx, Tartaros 'the underworld'
Abel, Gaea 'earth' Ki (Ge) and Eros 'love' Os(Eros) Al(Eros), who last with Gaia
produced Ouranus 'the heaven' Anu, and she became his-wife as-well and produced
many offspring including Oceanus 'the ocean' first titan Enki Ea Cainan and the
Anuna-Ki; Cronos Marduk created mankind; Nyx and Erebos themselves produced a
pair, Aither 'the dry breeze' Seth and Hemera 'the day sky' Azura ... in
approximation to the Sumerian and Egyptian records, with philosophical hints, of
facts.)
And the Sumerian Enlil+Ninurta story is an
animal-coded memory-mnemonic which didn't work as well as either the 'straight'
or the philosophic, having confused Enki's Mered Irad Marduk 'straight'-story
with Ellil's Urda Ninurta animal-fantasy-story itself of no subsequent
history,-- Albeit, it may be noted that the Ellil+Ninurta version of the
Story-of-Creation-of-Mankind does allude to the killing of one god known for his
'rationality' i.e. countermate of 'chaos irrationality', Tiamut's
spouse by pseudonym; and wherefore the 'hero' was Marduk -by pseudonym- of Enki
not Ellil, And the murder of the 'work-strike-leader' (pseudonym) was their
counter-'rationale' for propagating mankind-workers....
(But note that Ellil's animal-fantasy version may have been
a cover for murders that otherwise lost them first-lineage and land
authority... as-likely his pretense of posing as other men siring with his wife
Sud Ninlil, after himself, a gatekeeper, a riverman, a boatman, may have been
his fantasized senior-siring-order.)
The alternative redaction methods were probably inspired by the
'secret name' business of the gods, though not an exposé per sé... Sometime
prior to the propagation of mankind, the senior gods knew they would need a
passcode 'secret name', probably assigned at 130-years, to gain entry with the
gods-family.... Isis' 'snake-trick' of getting Ra's 'secret name', suggests that
Osiris was not fully accepted into the lineage and they changed that by
murder... and thus made the later surprising grand-entry for Horus....
And for millennia thereupon, stories of the gods inspired leaders
among mankind to wisdom and understanding-- the progenitor of religion
(e.g. Thoth's no-mere-prediction that a child of Nwt would takeover Ra's rule:
Thoth foresaw the extremity of Cain and Abel lacking lineage-sisters)....
And, We get a better perception of millennia-later
Moses the Egyptian Prince -born under a Pharaoh who did not know Joseph,
-meaning, did not know Abraham and the prior Pharaoh's remedied appreciation:--
disappeared east, possibly the way up the mountain as of Enoch, whose story was
likely precontrived by the Egyptian priesthood who did-remember Abraham and the
consequences of neglect, generated local baby-trouble for the Pharaoh,
and advised baby Moses' mother 'behind the wall' ... thus getting Moses
brought-up as an Egyptian Prince who should rematch the geneologies,
as Horus had done with calendars before.
(Note by comparison, Moses' meeting with his
Lord God on Mount Sinai may have been with a contemporary 'god' possibly a
then-son of Eloi.)
And, We get a better perception of two-millennia-later Christ
Jesus, as not a fluke of divine-nature but a construction of the Watcher-gods:
their Egyptian temple-boy in fulfillment of their preplanned prophecy ...
and reducing the earthy recognizable stature of God to merely
everywhere an everpresent, livable, divine Principle One of all mankind and
Creation and good: since ever the universe 'began' (and before even
that)....
And, We get a better perception of modern-millennia-later-'Älias'
restoring all things, --of the gods,-- in preparation for the final reign and
rule....
Ultimately, Ra had-intended to rule the entire Earth with
his year-round lineage-phalanx of gods-by-number-as-well-as-by-name ... esoteric
in its high-visibility one-god-a-year appeal no ordinary man should ascend to
fit in with the god-lineage... And others like Ra may have succeeded
on other planets elsewhere even astronomically-nearby, -before and,
after,- but not here, because there is One-greater than even the gods, here....
(Nevertheless the diversity-between inbred families, over millions of
years, may have been great enough as to effect distinct cultures.)
But, Lastly, The remaining question on Ra's lineage appears to be
whether Adam was killed before, Ra passed in the Tuat,-- as yet unknown....
The question of mankind's future is thus now full-open to
reinvestigation of the actual purpose for Ra's 'Mission To Earth' and what comes
next.
QUESTION: Why, did all this happen, if they were, gods?
ANSWER: The question is, Where does man come from? soul? body? The
answer runs deeper, But on the surface, plainly, the production of bodies is
exponential process within the abundance of resources, while the extraction of
souls from their source is one-at-a-time: and whence their perpetual mismatch
Mrs. Eddy estimated, 'lisping in numbers', "there are a thousand million
different human wills," --inner perceptions of infinity,-- an estimate of what
the gods brought to Earth six millennia ago ... something she knew could-not be
seen, but could-be counted-on...
The answer is, The gods' original, inbred lineage was a
demonstration of immortality by the only means known in the universe: It was
possible, They had little else to do, They did it.... The lineage structure was
not for control nor fame, albeit that they had, but as a distant, lofty goal, it
was perceived as doable and they did it ... a visible demonstration by every god
in the lineage, by firstborn or first-sons: Every great...great...parent was
alive;- whence it was not a singular trick, but proven, for themselves, and for
the rest of the deltage... and eventually for mankind. That their
experiment fell apart was more because Earth-living was not directly suitable to
becoming an unruly version lacking the structure of boat-living; Allowing for
dead gods even by murder shifting firstborn status to the next sibling

AUTHOR'S CLOSING COMMENT: This is what is meant, to be a Jew or a
Christian: To be engaged in the conversation, slightly remote, -now 5680 years,-
and try to figure out from the documentation, what in the world happened on
Earth; to be a sinner praying that a missed nuance in Sumerian humor is passed
over, or a saint telescoping-in the elders standing on the sea of glass
approaching Earth, and divine knowing what the gods didn't ... to be
constant and striving for the understanding of place and universe ... "and to be
merciful, just, and pure." [S&H497:24ex]
[We must note here in closing, that the plausible actual would become
speculative if we merely imagine what persons may have done, said, meant ... the
importance is in the demonstration of the Christ Science: not to rediscover that
which is today abundant, but discern and live it]

History: Anu is the eldest son of the Elder
Gods Anshar, god of sky, and Kishar, goddess of earth. Anshar and Kishar were
the grand-children of the great sea-goddess Tiamat. Often taking the form of a
great dragon, Tiamat was the ultimate power of the ocean who had coupled with
the freshwater god Apsu and gave birth to a lethal progeny of creatures who
ravaged the earth and terrified ancient mortals. (Tiamat might be an ancient
name for the primeval earth-goddess, Gaea, but this is unconfirmed).
Among her children was the ancient god Alalu
who Anu overthrew as ruler of Ancient Sumeria by fatally wounding him. Anu
usurped his role as ruler of the gods as his brother Ea fought Apsu, Tiamat’s
lover, for control of the seas of earth. Anu and Ea split portions of Earth
between them with their sister Eriskegal ruling the underworld (Some references
call Eriskegal a daughter of Anu rather than his sister.) Anu had numerous
children who were worshipped as gods by the Sumerian people. Among them were the
four storm-gods, Enlil, Hadad, Ninurta and Martu, his sons by the exiled
Titaness Dione who he had accepted as his wife. He adopted her daughter,
Aphrodite, as the goddess Inanna without any knowledge of her parentage, or
perhaps to irk Zeus, Ruler of the Olympian gods, with whom the Gods of
Mesopotamia had been warring with for years.
Sometime in the 25th Millennium BC, Anu
eventually noticed that mortals were becoming lazy and corrupt and were allowing
the temples of the gods to be neglected. Some of the gods tried to dissuade his
decision, but he proceeded to destroy them all by a flood and sent Enlil to
inflict earth with a deluge of rain to cover the world. Ea, meanwhile, had
located an honorable man named Utnapistim and his wife Ziusudra and instructed
them on how to survive the flood by creating an ark to ride it out. Utnapishtim
loaded his family and all the clean animals into the ark to survive. After seven
days of torrential rain, much of the known world of the Sumerian Empire had
become flooded. Utnapishtim and his family eventually landed safely upon the top
of Mount Nisir (now known as modern Ararat). As the waters receded, he made a
sacrifice to the sun god Shamash. Now realizing the rashness of his decision,
Anu allowed Utnapishtim to live on earth and allowed Enlil to bestow on him
immortality. Utnapishtim and his family
started repopulating the earth with new respect to the gods.
Inanna, meanwhile, fell in love with Dumuzi,
the grain god, but Eriskegal, Queen of the underworld, for reasons of her own,
kidnapped the handsome god. Inanna went down to the underworld to retrieve him,
but Eriskegal disgraced her by having her leave an article of clothing at each
of then ten gates of the underworld. By time Inanna entered Eriskegal’s court,
she was completely naked and vulnerable to be taken prisoner. Anu sent Enlil to
free her and Enlil found her by ripping the gates asunder from the underworld.
Inanna was returned to earth, but Dumuzi had to stay behind. Anu, however,
arbitrated that Inanna and Dumuzi could share six months out of the year on
earth to be together.
At some point, Adapa, the mortal son of Ea and
ruler of Eridu, was displeased by the storm-god Ninurta because he had sent the
south wind to turn over his royal boat. He shot an arrow into the sky that
injured Ninurta and Ninurta revealed his injury to Anu. Angered, Anu wanted to
kill the disrespectful king, but Ea brought Adapa to him to him to avoid any
bloody consequences. Anu meanwhile decided on other means to get justice on his
injured son. As Adapa arrived, he offered him some of the food of the gods out
of courtesy. Suspecting it to be the food of the dead, Adapa refused. Anu then
revealed to the mortal king that he had refused the food of the gods and because
of it now all mortals would have to suffer eventual old age and death.
Anu, however, was soon overthrown by his son
Enlil, as king of the gods and ruler of Sumeria. Anu cursed him to have three
miserable sons for his disobedience and escaped to the sky where he separated
the heavens and the earth. Anu welcomed most of the gods into this new realm he
called Celestial Dilmun, but Enlil, now calling himself Dagon, was soon
overthrown by his brother Hadad, now called Baal. He confined both of them to
Earth and after both of them were ousted as rulers, he confined both of them to
separate kingdoms in the underworld. From the heavens, Anu reclaimed his role as
King of the gods.
Tiamat by now was slain by the god Marduk
working in tandem with his father, Ea and Anu, Ruler of the Mesopotamian Gods.
He became ruler of the earth under the now ascendant Babylonian Empire by
replacing Baal-Hadad. Anu and Ea together split Tiamat’s corpse in half and used
it to permanently bind the separation of heaven and earth. (In later myth, they
created heaven and earth from her remains)
The Babylonian Empire was soon replaced by the Assyrian
Empire who revered the war-god Nergal as their patron deity in his role as
Assur. They never accomplished the power of the previous Sumerian or Babylonian
Empires and were constantly trying to hold their power against invading tribes
and by the Phoenicians from the west who worshipped many of the same gods under
different names. The conflict in interest over their worshippers divided the
interest of many of the Mesopotamian gods. Anu also realized that there was
unrest from the growing Judaism Religion, which erroneously accused many of the
former Sumerian gods as unholy gods or demons. With this amount of concern and
interior unrest amongst the gods, Anu was unprepared for the power of the
Olympian gods from Greece entering Phoenicia.
The god Zeus in particular fell in love with the Phoenician princess
Europa and spirited her off to Crete where she gave birth to the god-king Minos
who founded the Minoan Civilization. Anu was finally able to route the interest
of the Mesopotamian gods in the direction of the invading Olympian Gods as they
both fought to withhold their perspective worship rites and establish boundaries
on earth that they could claim. Asherah drawn out of loyalty to both the
perspective pantheons arbitrated the peace between Zeus and Anu and eventually
came to a truce. Part of the truce was that Zeus could retrieve Inanna, formerly
Aphrodite, and bestow upon his daughter her true birthright as an Olympian
Goddess. The Olympians promised to stay out of lands that the Greeks invaded and
the Annunaki pledged to not interfere in the affairs of the Greeks.
The worship of the Annunaki meanwhile continued
to wane, however, under Judaism and the now developing Christian religion. Anu
began to believe he had been cheated in the deal with Zeus and Zeus started to
feel an uprising from the Annunaki. As tension became unbearable and another war
between the gods came close, Zeus found a way out. The Romans started
slaughtering Christians in the names of the gods of Olympus. Dissatisfied with
the bloodshed, he ordered the Olympian gods to break off ties with earth
completely and cease interest in worship rites. The edict came to a surprise to
Anu even as Zeus in a humble position presented the dilemma to Anu and proposed
the same fate to his pantheon. The pact cemented their truce even as gods like
Ares, Dagon, Apollo and others refused to cooperate. In 1000 AD, the Celestials
returned to Earth. Long having an interest in human beings and their
development, they ordered all the gods to stop trafficking completely with
mortals. Their warning cemented the non-interference rule that Zeus and Anu had
began and even spread it across the other pantheons of Earth. With the heads of
the other pantheons of Earth that were or had been worshipped by mortals of
Earth, Anu, Zeus and the other godheads discussed the potential threat the
Celestials posed to Earth.
Arbitrating on behalf of Anu, Zeus met with
Odin of the Asgardian Gods and Vishnu of the Hindu Gods and they went to
confront the Third Host of the Celestials on behalf of all the gods of Earth.
However, Odin and Zeus were pledged not to interfere with the Celestials when
the Celestials threatened to seal off the inter-dimensional portals connecting
the god’s dimensions to Earth. As a result of this pledge, the Annunaki had to
lessen their contact with Earth although a few of them such as Ninurta and
Shamash have masqueraded as mortals and spent time living with the human beings
on Earth.
Odin, meanwhile, had withdrawn all the life
forces of the Asgardians except that of his son Thor into the Destroyer created
to oppose the Celestials. Odin’s spirit then entered the Destroyer and animated
it into doing battle with the Fourth Host. They annihilated the Destroyer, but
judged in favor of humanity’s favor when Gaea presented them with twelve
genetically advanced human beings, the “Young Gods.” Thor meanwhile contracted
Anu as per his pact with Odin and Anu bestowed upon him a fragment of the life
forces required to restore the Asgardians to life after the destruction of the
Destroyer.
In recent years, both Ninurta and Shamash have
become renowned to the modern citizens of Iraq as superheroes. The modern-day
descendants of their former worshippers do not actually believe them to be the
actual gods of myth, but merely super-powered individuals paying homage to
ancient myths. Considering the political turmoil in the area today, Ninurta has
attempted to obtain from his father help in trying to bestow peace to the region
and restore it to the glory seen in the past. Anu has had no part in these
requests because in his mind it is the responsibility of mortal man to solve
their own problems and find answers for the destruction that mankind has
created.
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 445 lbs.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: White (Black in his youth)
Strength Level: Anu possesses superhuman
strength enabling him to lift (press) almost 75 tons under optimal conditions.
Known Superhuman Powers:
Anu possesses the conventional physical attributes of the Mesopotamian Gods.
Like all of the Mesopotamian Gods, he is immortal. He has not aged since
reaching adulthood and cannot die by any known conventional means. He is immune
to all known terrestrial diseases and is invulnerable to conventional injury. If
wounded, his godly life force would enable him to recover with superhuman speed.
It would take an injury of such magnitude that it dispersed a major portion of
his bodily molecules to cause him a physical death. Even then, it might be
possible for Zeus, Odin, Ea or a number of gods of equal power working together
to revive him. Anu does have some superhuman strength and his own godly
metabolism gives him far greater than human endurance in all physical
activities.
Anu possesses vast powers of an unknown nature, which seem to surpass the powers
of any other Mesopotamian god. Magical in their form and nature, these powers
can be employed in numerous forms. He can project rays of mystical forms
resembling modern lasers that can explode on impact and erect shields and
objects such as thrones and ships from this energy. He can also create
dimensional portals at will to travel between earth and heaven and create spells
that augment or enforce spells already in existence. He can project his image,
voice or energy bolts from heaven to earth and even place bondage spells
powerful enough of bonding individuals to certain realms. Anu seems to have
limited precognitive and sensory awareness to perceive facts and information
from beyond time and space.
Abilities: Anu is a shrewd and wily ruler as
well as a just and beneficent deity.
Clarifications: Anu is not to be confused with:
-
Anu (Aine), Celtic goddess of earth
-
Danu, Celtic name of Gaea
MARDUK
This is Marduk with Tiamat
MARDUK IS
ANOTHER NAME FOR NIBIRU!
Alternatively, Tethys may simply mean "old woman"; certainly it bears some
similarity to
ἡ τήθη, meaning "grandmother,"
and she is often portrayed as being extremely ancient (cf.
Callimachus,
Iamb
4.52, fr. 194). Of the power exercised by Tethys, one myth relates that the
prominent goddess of the Olympians,
Hera,
was not pleased with the placement of
Callisto and
Arcas in the sky, as the
constellations
Ursa Major and
Ursa Minor, so she asked her nurse, Tethys, to help. Tethys, a marine
goddess, caused the constellations forever to circle the sky and never drop
below the horizon, hence
explaining why they are circumpolar.
Robert Graves interprets the use of the term nurse in Classical myths
as identifying deities who once were goddesses of central importance in
the periods before historical documentation
Marduk [mär'dook] (Sumerian spelling in Akkadian AMAR.UTU "solar calf"; Biblical Merodach) was the name of a late generation god from ancient Mesopotamia and patron deity of the city of Babylon, who, when Babylon permanently became the political center of the Euphrates valley in the time of Hammurabi (18th century BC), started to slowly rise to the position of the head of the Babylonian pantheon, position he fully acquired by the second half of the second millennium BCE.
Marduk's original character is obscure, but whatever special traits Marduk may have had were overshadowed by the reflex of the political development through which the Euphrates valley passed and which led to imbuing him with traits belonging to gods who at an earlier period were recognized as the heads of the pantheon.
There are more particularly two gods - Ea and Enlil - whose powers and attributes pass over to Marduk. In the case of Ea the transfer proceeds pacifically and without involving the effacement of the older god. Marduk is viewed as the son of Ea. The father voluntarily recognizes the superiority of the son and hands over to him the control of humanity. This association of Marduk and Ea, while indicating primarily the passing of the supremacy once enjoyed by Eridu to Babylon as a religious and political centre, may also reflect an early dependence of Babylon upon Eridu, not necessarily of a political character but, in view of the spread of culture in the Euphrates valley from the south to the north, the recognition of Eridu as the older centre on the part of the younger one.
While the relationship between Ea and Marduk is thus marked by harmony and an amicable abdication on the part of the father in favour of his son, Marduk's absorption of the power and prerogatives of Enlil of Nippur was at the expense of the latter's prestige. After the days of Hammurabi, the cult of Marduk eclipses that of Enlil, and although during the four centuries of Kassite control in Babylonia (c. 1570 BC1157 BC), Nippur and the cult of Enlil enjoyed a period of renaissance, when the reaction ensued it marked the definite and permanent triumph of Marduk over Enlil until the end of the Babylonian empire. The only serious rival to Marduk after ca. 1000 BC is Anshar in Assyria. In the south Marduk reigns supreme. He is normally referred to as Bel "Lord".
When Babylon became the capital of Mesopotamia, the patron deity of Babylon was elevated to the level of supreme god. In order to explain how Marduk seized power, Enűma Elish was written, which tells the story of Marduk's birth, heroic deeds, and becoming the ruler of the gods. This can be viewed as a form of Mesopotamian apologetics.
In
Enűma Elish, a civil war between the gods was growing to a climatic battle. The Anunnaki gods gathered together to find one god who could defeat the gods rising against them. Marduk, a very young god, answered the call, and was promised the position of head god.When he killed his enemy he "wrested from him the Tablets of Destiny, wrongfully his" and assumed his new position. Under his reign humans were created to bear the burdens of life so the gods could be at leisure.
People were named after Marduk. For example, the Biblical personality Mordechai (Book of Esther) used this Gentile name in replacement of his Hebrew name Bilshan.Babylonian texts talk of the creation of Eridu by the god Marduk as the first city, 'the holy city, the dwelling of their [the other gods] delight'.
Nabu, god of wisdom, is a son of Marduk.
Etemenanki, "The temple of the creation of heaven and earth", was the name of a ziggurat to Marduk in the city of Babylon of the 6th century BC Chaldean (Neo-Babylonian) dynasty. Originally seven stories in height, little remains of it now save ruins. Etemenanki was later popularly identified with the Tower of Babel.
NAMMU - NAMMA ANTU
In Sumerian mythology, Nammu (more properly Namma) is the Sumerian creation goddess. If the Babylonian creation myth Enűma Elish is based on a Sumerian myth, which seems likely, Nammu/Namma is the Sumerian goddess of the primeval sea that gave birth to heaven and earth and the first gods. She was probably the first personification of the constellation which the Babylonians later called Tiamat and the Greeks called Cetus and represented the Apsu, the fresh water ocean which the Sumerians believed lay beneath the earth, the source of life-giving water and fertility in a country with almost no rainfall.
As Nammu/Namma is the goddess of the fertile waters, An is the god of the sky. Nammu/Namma and her son Enki created mankind as assistants for the gods. Enki is the god of human culture who also presides over the Absu.
A winged goddess wearing a multi-horned crown stands with her head in the realm
of the deities and their devotees. Her bird-clawed feet rest in a place, likely
the underworld, inhabited by strange and demonic creatures. This shows the
duality of her nature - as well as our own - above and below. Some think her to
be Lilith, but the crown shows her to be a great goddess, almost certainly
Inanna. Mesopotamian cylinder seal. Hematite. 2000-1600 BCE.
She was said to descend from the ancient family of the creator goddess Nammu,
who was her grandmother. Inanna held "full power of judgment and decision and
the control of the law of heaven and earth." Her sacred planet was Venus, the
evening star. She was often symbolized as a lioness in battle. Along the Tigris
and Euphrates rivers were many shrines and temples dedicated to Inanna.
The temple of E Anna, Inanna's House of Heaven, in Uruk, was the greatest of
these. This temple was 5000 years old and had been built and rebuilt many times
to hold a community of sacred women who cared for the temple lands. The high
priestess of Inanna would choose for her bed one she would appoint as shepherd.
He would represent Dumuzi, sacred son/lover of Inanna, if he could prove his
worth.
In later times, Inanna's lost some of her attributes, which were then said
then to have been given her by Enki, rather than by her grandmother Nammu and
her mother Ningal.
The myth states that Inanna traveled to Eridu and was given the one hundred
Mes, which were the gifts of culture such as truth and justice, as well as
practical skills such as weaving and pottery-making. Though Enki regretted his
drunken decision to release the Mes to her and sent mighty sea monsters to stop
her boat as it sailed the Euphrates, she was able to defeat them and bring the
knowledge back to Uruk.
Inanna was one of the most revered of goddesses among later Sumerian
mythology. She was said to descend from the ancient family of the creator
goddess Nammu, who was her grandmother. Inanna held "full power of judgment and
decision and the control of the law of heaven and earth." Her sacred planet was
Venus, the evening star.

Tiamat is a primeval monster/ goddess in Babylonian and Sumerian

that "tehom" appears in the Ugaritic texts, c. 1400–1200 BCE, simply
meaning the "sea". Such a depersonalized Tiamat (the -at ending makes her
feminine) is "The Deep" (Hebrew tehom), present at the beginning of the
book of Genesis.

Foundation figure of Ur-Nammu
From Uruk, southern Iraq
Third Dynasty of Ur, about
2100-2000 BC
The king as a temple builder with a basket of earth to make bricks
This bronze figure represents Ur-Nammu, the ruler of Ur (about 2112-2095
BC). It was made for burial in the foundations of a temple of Uruk. It was
one of the duties of a Mesopotamian king to care for the gods and restore or
rebuild their temples. In the late third millennium BC, rulers in southern
Mesopotamia depicted themselves carrying out this pious task. Ur-Nammu lifts
up a large basket of earth for making bricks. The copper 'peg' acted as a
record for posterity and to receive the god's blessing.
The cuneiform inscription around and over the king's body states that
Ur-Nammu dedicated the figure to Inana (Ishtar), the patron deity of Uruk.
It also records the restoration of her temple called Eanna 'the house of
heaven'. Her name appears to mean 'the lady of heaven'. She was associated
with the goddess Ishtar and the planet known to us as Venus.
Towards the end of the third millennium BC, southern Mesopotamia was
united under the control of the city of Ur. Ur-Nammu founded the empire,
which stretched into Iran. He was a prodigious builder. The most impressive
monuments of his reign were ziggurats which he constructed at various
cities. Although not unlike the stepped pyramids of Egypt in appearance,
ziggurats were made of solid brickwork and did not have tombs inside.

The AN.UNNA.KI
Generation No. 3
1D1. ANU3 (ANSHAR2,
APSU1) {aka AN, Anos, Anum, Alalu, The Old
God, The Sky, The Great Father Of The Sky, The Lord Of
The Old City, The Lord Of The City Of Erech} ANU was the Great King, the
King of the Gods. Whereas the ancestors of ANU were deities, ANU was the
first to be considered a god to reign over all the rest. According to
Zecharia Sitchin, in his Earth Chronicles series, ANU gained his
superiority over the rest of the Anunnaki gods by deposing the ruler Alalu
on his home planet, Nibiru, the twelfth planet in the solar system. At the
time, the planet Nibiru was undergoing a period in which its atmosphere was
being eroded, and the existence of its people, the Nephilim or Anunnaki, was
being threatened. Alalu escaped ANU's wrath, and found refuge on the planet
Earth in the same solar system as Nibiru. Alalu discovered that the Earth
bore gold that could be used to protect Nibiru's atmosphere. This took place
around 450,000 years B.C., according to persent-day reckoning. ANU, himself,
came to Earth around 416,000 B.C., with his youngest son, EN.LIL.
ANU was the god by whose
grace, kingship (aka Anutu, or 'Anu'-ship) flowed to earthly kings.
ANU is often believed to have been the original principle, the 'god', of
nature. He was once the universe in the form of both the upper and lower
regions; and then he was divided in two, the upper region (i.e.
heaven) remaining ANU and the lower region (i.e. earth) becoming his
'sister' / consort, ANATU. ANU bore children by both of his sisters, ANTU
and KI, and by NIMUL, who was neither an official spouse or a half-sister
(and for that reason, the firstborn son was destined not to be the rightful
heir).
It should be noted that
some scholars have stated that ANU, EN.KI and EN.LIL were siblings, rather
than parent and sons, forming the "Creator Triad".

1D2. ANTU3 (ANSHAR2,
APSU1) {aka Nammu, Anatu, Antum, The Lady Of
The Sky, The Primeval Sea} ANTU gave birth to the heaven and
earth, according to some traditions. But the Babylonian traditions maintain
that ANTU was formed out of ANU. ANTU is believed by some scholars as being
simply the female form of ANU, and as such is simply the opposite of ANU. In
her association with the Primeval Sea, ANTU is sometimes compared to
Istar or Venus; she is sometimes referred to as the 'female fish-god.' The
Sumerians believed that ANTU, as NAMMU, fashioned mankind out of clay from
the AP.SU. ANTU does not exist in the Akkadian mythology; she arose as a
distinct contrast/complement to ANU through the mythology of the Semites.

APSU1) {aka Urash, Nin.Hur.Sag, Nin.Khur.Sag,
Nin.Ma, Nin.Mah, Nin.Ki, Nin.Tu, The Lady Of The Mountainhead,

accounts, NIN.HUR.SAG was the daughter of ANU and KI; in others, she was
actually KI herself. KI was the embodiment of the archetypal 'earth
goddess'.

mythology, Nammu was the goddess of the watery
abyss, the
primeval sea. She gave birth to the heavens and the earth.
Omoroca
Myth ~ ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA (City
of: Babylon) ~
Omoroca is another name for the Goddess
Tiamat, who was
the Serpent Goddess of Chaos. It originated with the Sumerian name "UM-URUK"
(translation: "mother of Uruk"). Through the years, it slowly changed to
Omoroca. She is first mentioned in the creation myth of the Babylonian epic poem
called Enuma Elish, which is derived from the opening words (translation:
"When Skies Above"). In the beginning of the story, only Apsu (her husband) and
she exist. They are the parents of all the gods. Apsu decides that their
children have become so misbehaved, that he plans to kill them. Ea (see
Oannes) learns of
Apsu’s plan and kills him. Omoroca builds an army to avenge her husband’s death.
Marduk (also
called Belos, Baal),
Ea’s son, leads Ea’s army in the battle. Omoroca is killed in the battle and
Marduk stretched out her skin to make the heavens.
The Show (Stargĺte SG-1) ~
Nem, her husband, is
searching for information on what happened to her. After agreeing to help and
having his brain zapped by Nem’s device, Daniel remembers, and tells him that
"The god Belos came down onto Babylon unto the place of Omoroca and cut the
woman asunder" (112 – Fire and Water).
NERGAL
The name Nergal (or Nirgal, Nirgali) refers to a deity in Babylonia with the main seat of his cult at Cuthah (or Kutha) represented by the mound of Tell-Ibrahim. Nergal is mentioned in the Hebrew bible as the deity of the city of Cuth (Cuthah): "And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal" (2 Kings, 17:30).
Nergal actually seems to be in part a solar deity, sometimes identified with Shamash, but a representative of a certain phase only of the sun. Portrayed in hymns and myths as a god of war and pestilence, Nergal seems to represent the sun of noontime and of the summer solstice which brings destruction to mankind, high summer being the dead season in the Mesopotamian annual cycle.
Nergal was also the deity who presides over the nether-world, and who stands at the head of the special pantheon assigned to the government of the dead (supposed to be gathered in a large subterranean cave known as Aralu or Irkalla). In this capacity he has associated with him a goddess Allatu or Ereshkigal, though at one time Allatu may have functioned as the sole mistress of Aralu, ruling in her own person. In some texts the god Ninazu is the son of Nergal by Allatu/Ereshkigal.
Ordinarily Nergal pairs with his consort Laz. Standard iconography pictured Nergal as a lion, and boundary-stone monuments symbolise him with a mace surmounted by the head of a lion.
Nergal's fiery aspect appears in names or epithets such as Lugalgira, Sharrapu ("the burner," perhaps a mere epithet), Erra, Gibil (though this name more properly belongs to Nusku), and Sibitti. A certain confusion exists in cuneiform literature between Ninurta and Nergal. Nergal has epithets such as the "raging king," the "furious one," and the like. A play upon his name separated into three elements as Ne-uru-gal (lord of the great dwelling) expresses his position at the head of the nether-world pantheon.
In the astral-theological system Nergal becomes the planet Mars, while in ecclesiastical art the great lion-headed colossi serving as guardians to the temples and palaces seem to symbolise Nergal, just as the bull-headed colossi probably typify Ninurta.
Nergal's chief temple at Cuthah bore the name Meslam, from which the god receives the designation of Meslamtaeda or Meslamtaea, "the one that rises up from Meslam". The name Meslamtaeda/Meslamtaea indeed is found as early as the list of gods from Fara while the name Nergal only begins to appear in the Akkadian period.
The cult of Nergal does not appear to have spread as widely as that of Ninurta. Hymns and votive and other inscriptions of Babylonian and Assyrian rulers frequently invoke him, but we do not learn of many temples to him outside of Cuthah. Sennacherib speaks of one at Tarbisu to the north of Nineveh, but significantly, although Nebuchadnezzar II (606 BC586 BC), the great temple-builder of the neo-Babylonian monarchy, alludes to his operations at Meslam in Cuthah, he makes no mention of a sanctuary to Nergal in Babylon. Local associations with his original seat Kutha and the conception formed of him as a god of the dead acted in making him feared rather than actively worshipped.

SHAMASH SAMA - AHAMASH - UTU
Shamash or Sama, was the common Akkadian name of the sun-god in Babylonia and Assyria, corresponding to Sumerian Utu.
The name signifies perhaps "servitor," and would thus point to a secondary position occupied at one time by this deity. Both in early and in late inscriptions Sha-mash is designated as the "offspring of Nannar," i.e. of the moon-god, and since, in an enumeration of the pantheon, Sin generally takes precedence of Shamash, it is in relationship, presumably, to the moon-god that the sun-god appears as the dependent power.
Such a supposition would accord with the prominence acquired by the moon in the calendar and in astrological calculations, as well as with the fact that the moon-cult belongs to the nomadic and therefore earlier, stage of civilization, whereas the sun-god rises to full importance only after the agricultural stage has been reached.
The two chief centres of sun-worship in Babylonia were Sippar, represented by the mounds at Abu Habba, and Larsa, represented by the modern Senkerah. At both places the chief sanctuary bore the name E-barra (or E-babbara) "the shining house" a direct allusion to the brilliancy of the sun-god. Of the two temples, that at Sippara was the more famous, but temples to Shamash were erected in all large centres such as Babylon, Ur, Mari, Nippur and Nineveh.
The attribute most commonly associated with Shamash is justice. Just as the sun disperses darkness, so Shamash brings wrong and injustice to light. Hammurabi attributes to Shamash the inspiration that led him to gather the existing laws and legal procedures into a code, and in the design accompanying the code the king represents himself in an attitude of adoration before Shamash as the embodiment of the idea of justice.
Several centuries before Hammurabi, Ur-Engur of the Ur dynasty (c. 2600 BC) declared that he rendered decisions "according to the just laws of Shamash."
It was a logical consequence of this conception of the sun-god that he was regarded also as the one who released the sufferer from the grasp of the demons. The sick man, therefore, appeals to Shamash as the god who can be depended upon to help those who are suffering unjustly. This aspect of the sun-god is vividly brought out in the hymns addressed to him, which are, therefore, among the finest productions in the entire realm of Babylonian literature.
It is evident from the material at our disposal that the Shamash cults at Sippar and Larsa so overshadowed local sun-deities elsewhere as to lead to an absorption of the minor deities by the predominating one. In the systematized pantheon these minor sun-gods become attendants that do his service. Such are Bunene, spoken of as his chariot driver, whose consort is Atgi-makh, Kettu ("justice") and Mesharu ("right"), who are introduced as servitors of Shamash.
Other sun-deities, as Ninurta and Nergal, the patron deities of important centres, retained their independent existence as certain phases of the sun, Ninib becoming the sun-god of the morning and of the spring time, and Nergal the sun-god of the noon and of the summer solstice, while Shamash was viewed as the sun-god in general.
Together with Sin and Ishtar, Shamash forms a second triad by the side of Anu, Enlil and Ea. The three powers, Sin, Shamash and Ishtar, symbolized the three great forces of nature, the sun, the moon and the life-giving force of the earth.
At times, instead of Ishtar, we find Adad, the storm-god, associated with Sin and Shamash, and it may be that these two sets of triads represent the doctrines of two different schools of theological thought in Babylonia which were subsequently harmonized by the recognition of a group consisting of all four deities.
The consort of Shamash was known as A. She, however, is rarely mentioned in the inscriptions except in combination with Shamash.
SIN - NANNA
Nanna is a god in Sumerian mythology, god of the moon, son of Enlil and Ninlil. His sacred city was Ur. The name Nanna is Sumerian for "illuminater".
He was named Sin in Babylonia and Assyrian and was also worshipped by them in Harran. Sin had a beard made of lapis lazuli and he rode on a winged bull.
His wife was Ningal ('Great Lady') who bore him Utu 'Sun' and Inana and in some texts Ishkur.
His symbols are the crescent moon, the bull, and a tripod (which may be a lamp-stand).The two chief seats of Sin's worship were Ur in the south, and Harran to the north. The cult of Sin spread to other centres, at an early period, and temples to the moon-god are found in all the large cities of Babylonia and Assyria.
He is commonly designated as En-zu = "lord of wisdom". This attribute clings to him through all periods. During the period (c. 2600-2400 BC) that Ur exercised a large measure of supremacy over the Euphrates valley, Sin was naturally regarded as the head of the pantheon. It is to this period that we must trace such designations of Sin as "father of the gods", "chief of the gods", "creator of all things", and the like. We are justified in supposing that the cult of the moon-god was brought into Babylonia by Semitic nomads from Arabia.
The moon-god is par excellence the god of nomadic peoples. The moon being their guide and protector at night when, during a great part of the year, they undertake their wanderings. This is just as the sun-god is the chief god of an agricultural people. The cult once introduced would tend to persevere, and the development of astrological science culminating in a calendar and in a system of interpretation of the movements and occurrences in the starry heavens would be an important factor in maintaining the position of Sin in the pantheon.
Sin's chief sanctuary at Ur was named E-gish-shir-gal = "house of the great light". His sanctuary at Harran was named E-khul-khul = "house of joys". On seal-cylinders he is represented as an old man with flowing beard with the crescent as his symbol. In the astral-theological system he is represented by the number 30, and the planet Venus and his daughter by the number 15. This 30 probably refers to the average number of days (correctly around 29.53) in a lunar month as measured between successive new moons.
The "wisdom" personified by the moon-god is likewise an expression of the science of astrology in which the observation of the moon's phases is so important a factor. The tendency to centralize the powers of the universe leads to the establishment of the doctrine of a triad consisting of Sin, Shamash and Ishtar, personifying the moon and the sun and the earth as the life-force.
TIAMAT - LEVIATHAN
THIS IS THE BATTLE OF TIAMAT AND MARDUK
Tiamat is a primeval monster/goddess in Babylonian and Sumerian mythology, and a central figure in the Enűma Elish creation epic. John C. L. Gibson, in the Ugaritic glossary of Canaanite Myths and Legends, notes that "tehom" appears in the Ugaritic texts, c. 14001200 BCE, simply meaning the "sea". Such a depersonalized Tiamat (the -at ending makes her feminine) is "The Deep" (Hebrew tehom), present at the beginning of the book of Genesis.
Apsu (or Abzu) fathered upon Tiamat the Elder gods Lahmu and Lahamu, the grandparents of Anu and Ea. Lahmu and Lahamu, in turn, were the parents of the heavens (Anshar) and the earth (Kishar). Tiamat was the "shining" goddess of salt water who roared and smote in the chaos of original creation. She and Apsu filled the cosmic abyss with the primeval waters. She is "Ummu-Hubur who formed all things".
The god Enki (later Ea), believing correctly that Apsu was planning to murder the younger gods, slew him. This angered Tiamat, whereupon she fashioned monsters to battle the gods. These were her own offspring, sea-serpents of terrifying size, storms and fish-men and scorpion-men.
Tiamat had the Tablets of Destiny, and in the primordial battle she gave them to Kingu, the god she had chosen for her lover. But Anu (replaced by Marduk, the son of Ea, in the late version that has survived) overcame Kingu and then her, armed with the winds and a net and an invincible spear.
The Gospel of
Judas:Irenaeus notes:
They produce a fictitious history of
this kind, which they style the Gospel of Judas.
There are other Gnostic sects associated which begin really in the
garden of Eden where the serpent (a Musical Enchanter) wholly seduced
Eve so that "Cain was OF that wicked one." Cain is derived from "A
Musical Note" and his family fathered all of the COMMERCIAL and
"magical" practices to steal other people's property.

ADAPA
(Uan,
Oannes)
One of the sages
and citizen of Eridu.
Given super intelligence by
Ea (Sumerian:
Enki), god of
wisdom, became the hero of the Sumerian version of the
myth of the Fall of Man.
In spite of his possession of all wisdom he was denied immortality.
One day, while he was fishing, the
south wind blew so violently that he
was thrown into the sea. Lost his temper and broke the wings of the south wind,
which then ceased to blow. Anu
(Sumerian: An),
the sky god, called him before his gates to be punished, but Ea warned him
not to touch the bread and water that would be offered him. When
Adapa came before Anu, the two heavenly doorkeepers
Tammuz
and Ningishzida
interceded for him and explained to Anu that as Adapa had been
endowed with all knowledge he needed only immortality to become a
god. Anu,
relented and offered Adapa the bread and water of eternal life,
which he refused to take. Thus mankind became mortal
ADMINISTRATION
The civil-religious cult created the base upon
which society rested. The chief was the city ruler, or,
when the country was united, the king.
The city ruler and the king were civil leaders but also charismatic figures
who impregnated god-given magic
into their rule.
This created peace and fertility.
In certain periods the king was deified;
throughout the 3rd millennium, he became, in ritual action, the god
Dumuzi
in the rite of the sacred marriage and brought fertility for his
land. Most of the rulers were treated incarnations of the dying god
Damu
and invoked in the ritual laments for him. As a vessel of sacred
power the king was surrounded by strict ritual to protect that
power, and he had to undergo elaborate rituals of purification if
the power became threatened. As in
Israel's kingdom period, worship was
the purvue of the king and his officials and not the "congregation."
The individual temples were usually
administered by officials called sangas
("bishops"), who headed staffs of
accountants, overseers of
agricultural and industrial works on the temple estate, and gudus (priests),
who looked after the god as house servants.
Among the
priestesses the highest-ranking was
termed en
(Akkadian entu).
They were usually princesses of royal
blood and were considered the human spouses of the gods they served,
acting as brides in the rites of the ritual marriage. Other levels
of priestesses were orders of nuns.
The best-known are the servants of the
sun god, who lived in a cloister (gagűm)
in Sippar.
There were also priestesses devoted to
sacred prostitutes under the
protection of the goddess Inanna
(Ishtar).
ADONAI
The Masoretes,
who from about the 6th to the 10th century worked to reproduce the
original text of the Hebrew Bible, replaced the vowels of the name
YHWH with the vowel signs of the Hebrew words Adonai or Elohim.
Thus, the artificial name Jehovah
(YeHoWaH) came into being.
'Adonai (Hebrew) [from 'adon lord] My Lords;
through usage, Lord, a plural of excellence. Originally a sort of
appeal or prayer to the hierarchical spiritual powers of the earth
planetary chain, and more particularly of the planetary spirit of
the earth itself; later it became a mere substitute for the
unutterable name of God, usually for Tetragrammaton (YHVH).
"As the inner nature of YHVH is hidden;
therefore He (YHVH) is only named with the Name of the Shekhinah,
Adonai, i.e., Lord; therefore the Rabbins say (of the name YHVH);
Not as I am written (i.e., YHVH) am I read. In this world My Name is
written YHVH and read Adonai, but in the world to come, the same
will be read as it is written, so that Mercy (represented by YHVH)
shall be from all sides" (Zohar iii 320a). Adonai is rendered Lord
in the Bible, although it means "my Lords"; whereas 'elohim is
translated God in the English Authorized Version.

AHIKAR
Tale of Babylonian or Persian origin, about a
wise and moral man who supposedly served as one of the chief
counselors of Sennacherib, king of Assyria (704-681 BC). Like the
biblical Job, Ahikar was a prototype of the just man whose
righteousness was sorely tested and ultimately rewarded by God.
Betrayed by his power-hungry adopted son, Ahikar was condemned to
death, suffered severely, but was finally restored to his former
position.
According to the book of Ahikar, the cupbearer
of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon, was
Tobit's
nephew; he is a secondary personage in the plot, and his own story
is mentioned. Ahikar is the hero of a Near Eastern non-Jewish work,
The Story of Ahikar. The book exists in medieval translations, the
best of them in Syriac. The story was known in the Persian period in
the Jewish military colony in
Elephantine Island in Egypt, a fact
demonstrated by the discovery of fragmentary Aramaic papyri of the
work dating from 450-410 BCE. Thus, the author of the book of Tobit
probably knew The Story of Ahikar, in which, as in the book of
Tobit, the plot is a pretext for the introduction of speeches and
wise sayings. Some of Tobit's sayings have close parallels in the
words of the wise Ahikar.
AKITU
The Babylonian creation epic (Enuma
elish) "When on High") states that
at first there was only the male (Apsu) and female (Tiamat)
gods of the deep. They created a family of gods who made so much
noise that Apsu plotted to kill them. This upset Ea who easily
destroyed Apsu.
However, because of her superior magical incantatiosn, Tiamat was
too frightening for Ea.
Marduk agreed to
destroy her if he was made supreme god. This automatically
transferred the role of Creator to him. In the Assyrian version,
Ashur
is important. Tiamat, wanted to get even for Apsu's murder. However,
Marduk won the battle cut her in two and used her carcass to create
the universe. Out of half her body he fashioned the sky containing
the heavenly bodies to mark the periods of time, the other half was
made into the earth and mountains. In song and sermon Marduk was now
praised. The Enuma elish
was read on the Akitu, or New Year festival, at Babylon, to
reestablish order, by performing sympathetic magic caused by
reciting Marduk's creation. The function of the Akitu is thus to
regenerate society for the next year. When Israel "worshipped like
the nations" this festival was repeated in Jerusalem.
AKKAD
The first Babylonian city.
Akkad was the northern (or northwestern)
division of ancient Babylonia where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers
come close. The first people were predominantly Semitic, and their
language was Akkadian.
To the south
of Akkad was Sumer,
the southern (or southeastern) part of ancient Babylonia. This was
home of non-Semitic
people known as Sumerians.
Akkad was taken from the city of
Agade,
founded by the Semitic
Sargon about
2300 BC. Sargon united the city-states and ruled much of
Mesopotamia. After the fall of Sargon's dynasty in about 2150 BC,
the area was ruled by Sumerians and Akkadians. Under the kings of
Akkad, their Semitic language, known as Akkadian, became a
written language made with the cuneiform system of writing.
AKKADIANS
A non-Semitic race before the Semites in
Babylonia. The name is from Agade,
the capital of Sargon I. They may have been emigrants from India and were
the Aryan
educators of later Babylonians. Peace and prosperity was interrupted
by changes in the people who spread east, south and west
AN
(Sumerian) A sky god, the symbol, "Dingir,"
was the same as that for heaven and for divinity showing his high
but not superior role. He was generally regarded as the child of
Uras, or
of Ansar
and Kisar.
In an "evolutionary" principle for the "gods," he was a product of
the "embryo" heaven-earth before the world became visible.
His wife is
Antum, or
Ki.
He is viewed as the 'father' of the all the gods. An exercised great
authority. There is agreement with the Bible that the spoken command is
'the very foundation of heaven and earth.' In heaven, his authority
allowed him to 'raise up' other gods to positions of greater power.
Without losing authority he involved more active deities in support
of his authority.
ANATH
SEE
ISHTAR
ANNEDOTI
See Oannes
Even the name
Annedoti is quite similar to the
people of Enki
- the Anunnaki,
from whence it was probably derived. The Greek term may have
originated with the Sumerians and was later carried over as a
description of a race that was both retilian and loathsome.
ANSHAR and KISHAR
The male
and female
principles, the twin horizons of sky
and earth.
Their parents were either
Apsu (the watery
deep beneath the earth) and
Tiamat (the
personification of salt water) or
Lahmu and
Lahamu,
the first set of twins born to Apsu and Tiamat. Anshar and Kishar,
in turn, were the parents of
Anu (An), the
supreme heaven god. See
Enuma Elish
ANTUM
In Akkadian myth Anu's consort was
Antum
(Antu), but she is often confused with
Ishtar (Inanna), the goddess of love.
She helped produce the
Anunnaki or
the seven evil underworld demons.
She is replaced literally or figuratively by
Inanna
/ Ishtar
who is at times her daughter.
ANU
Son of the first pair
of gods, Anshar and Kishar. Consort was Antu (Anatum) later replaced
by Ishtar He was the son of Anshar
and
Kishar.
(Akkadian), Sumerian An, Mesopotamian
sky god and a member of the triad
of deities completed by
Bel (Sumerian: Enlil) and
Ea
(Enki). Like most sky gods,
Anu, although
theoretically the highest god, played only a small role in the
mythology, hymns, and cults of Mesopotamia. He was the father of the
gods Enlil
and Enki
and a daughter
Ninkhursag. He was also the father
of evil spirits and demons; Anu was also the god of kings and of the
yearly calendar. He was typically depicted in a headdress with
horns, a sign of strength. His city was
Erech,
(Later Uruk or Ur) king of angels and spirits, ruler of destiny
ANUNNA
Sumerian name for the sky and earth gods, the
assembly of the high gods, and especially for the deities of a local
pantheon. Before they destroyed the earth with a great flood, they
warned Ziusudra,
king of Shurappak,
of the deluge. He built an ark in which the seeds of mortals
were preserved during the seven days and seven nights the waters
raged. The name means "those of princely seed". They are similar to
the Akkadian Anunnaku.
ANUNNAKI
(Anukki, Enunaki)
The Akkadian name for a group of gods of the
underworld - chthonic
and fertility. They are judges
in the realm of the dead. Their counterparts are the
Igigi
or good gods (although in some texts the positions are reversed).
The Anunnaku are the children of Anu
and Ki
and are like the Apkallu
and they are paired with an igigi. Below the anunnaki were several
classes of genii
-- sadu, vadukku, ekimu, gallu -- some of which were represented as
being good, some evil.
ANZU
The Babylonian version of the Sumero-Akkadian
Anzu. Doorkeeper of
Ellil, born in the mountain Hehe. One day,
when Ellil was bathing, Anzu stole the
Tablets of Destiny and fled to the
desert. With these tablets you could rule the universe.
Ea
persuaded the mother-goddess Belet-Ili
to give birth to a divine hero to defeat Anzu. Belet-Ili produced
Ninurta
and sent him into battle. After a huge battle, Ninurta pierced
Anzu's lung with an arrow, and recaptured the tablets.
While normally evil, he is kindly in the
Sumerian
epic of
Lugalbanda. These tablets were taken
by Marduk
from Kingu and gave all of the skills needed for sucular and
religious rule. The epic ends with praises for the son of Ellil.
APKALLU
Akkadian mythology, the seven (or sometimes
eight) sages
serving the kings as ministers. Some were poets composing the epics
of Erra
and Gilgamesh,
others were ministers to the god Ea. The arts or skills were the
ME
which existed before the flood. These included skills such as deviant sexual acts and instrumental music.
These sages were:
- Adapa (U-an, called Oannes),
- U-an duga,
- E-me-duga,
- En-me-galama,
- En-me-bulaga,
- An-Enlida,
- Utu-abzu.
Each is known by other names or epithets, and
is paired with an antediluvian king, hence their collective names
"counselors", "muntalku".
They were credited with building walled cities. Responsible for
technical skills, they were also known as craftsmen, "ummianu.".
Some of them were traditionally poets
composing the epics of
Gilgamesh and
Erra.
They were banished back to the Absu forever after angering Ea. After the
flood, certain great men of letters and exorcists were
accorded sage-status, although only as mortals. Some Deities other
than Ea - Ishtar,
Nabu,
and Marduk
- also claimed to control the sages. Thesy are seen as fish-men or
with bird attributes appropriate to underworld creatures.
APOPIS
also called Apep, Apepi, or Rerek, ancient
Egyptian demon of chaos,
who had the form of a serpent
and, as the foe of the sun god,
Re, represented all that was outside the
ordered
cosmos.
Although many serpents symbolized divinity and royalty, Apopis
threatened
the underworld and symbolized evil. Each night Apopis encountered Re
at a particular hour in the sun god's ritual journey through the
underworld in his divine bark. Seth, who rode as guardian in the front of Re's bark,
attacked him with a spear and slew him, but the next night Apopis,
who could not be finally killed, was there again to attack Re. The
Egyptians believed that they could help maintain the order of the
world and assist Re by performing
rituals against Apopis.

Tiamat,
the primordial abyss of salt
waters of Chaos.
In the Enuma Elish, the sweet water
mingled with the bitter
waters of the sea and with a third watery element, perhaps
cloud
or Mummu,
the first gods were birthed. When the younger gods got too
noisy, Apsu plotted with Mummu to have them killed. However, Ea
got wind of it and the waters of Apsu were held
immobile underground by a 'spell'
death-like sleep, but it is also said that
Ea
had Apsu killed.
AQHAT

DANIEL
ARURU
(Mammi) A Babylonian goddess of
creation. She created
Enkidu from clay
in the image of Anu.
The Great Mother goddess in Babylonian mythology. See
Ki/Ninhursag.
Ninhursag's other names include: Dingirmakh ("Exalted Deity"),
Ninmakh
("Exalted Lady"), As "Dropper," the one who "loosens" the scion in
birth), and Nintur
("Lady Birth Giver"). Her husband is the god
Shulpae,
and among their children were the sons
Mululil and Ashshirgi and the
daughter Egime.
ASAG
(KUR): Dragon
of the Abyss or Abzu. Daemon of Disease. Asag was not separated like
Tiamat.
Instead, he lived within the Abyss "after" creation and held back
the Primordial Waters from overflowing the Earth. He kidnapped
Ereshkigal,
and Enlil
went to rescue her. What we know is that Enlil is the Lord of the
Waters, and that he built his home on the Sea. On the other hand,
Ereshkigal herself is still the Queen of the Underworld. Asag was
not killed because another god decided to destroy him for some
reason. This was
Ninurta (possibly a model for
Marduk).
See Demons.
ASALLUHE
Sumerian deity and city god of Ku'ar, near
Eridu
in the southeastern marshland
region. Asalluhe was active with the god
Enki
(Akkadian: Ea)
in rituals of lustration magic and was considered his son. He may
have originally been a god of thundershowers, as his name,
"Man-Drenching Asal," suggests; he may corresponded to the Sumerian
gods Ishkur
and Ninurta.
In incantations Asalluhe was usually the god who first called
Enki's
attention to existing evils because he flew around as a
thundercloud. He was later identified with
Marduk
of Babylon.
ASHERAH
Ancient West Semitic goddess, consort
of the supreme god. She was probably "She Who Walks in the Sea," but
she was also called "Holiness," and, occasionally, Elath, "the
Goddess." According to the texts from Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra,
Syria), Asherah's consort was El, and by him she was the mother of
70 gods.
As mother goddess she was widely worshiped throughout Syria and
Palestine, although she was frequently paired with Baal, who often
took the place of El in worship. As Baal's consort, Asherah was
usually called Baalat.
Also a sacred
wooden pole or image standing close to the massebah and altar in
early Shemitic sanctuaries, part of
the equipment of the temple of Jehovah in Jerusalem till the
reformation of Josiah (2 Kings 23:6). The plural, 'asherim, denotes
statues, images, columns,
or pillars;
translated in the Bible by "groves." Maachah, the grandmother of
Asa, King of Jerusalem, is accused of having made for herself such
an idol, which was a phallus.
Called the Assyrian Tree of Life,
"the original Asherah was a pillar with seven branches on each side
surmounted by a globular flower with three projecting rays, and no
phallic stone, as the Jews made of it, but a metaphysical symbol.
'Merciful One, who dead to life raises!' was the prayer uttered
before the Asherah, on the banks of the Euphrates. See Ezekiel 31. Assyria is the "tallest tree in
Eden."
ASHUR (Assur)
City god of Ashur and national god of Assyria. In the
beginning he may be a local deity of the city of Ashur. From about
1800 BC onward identified with the Sumerian
Enlil
(Akkadian: Bel),
while under the Assyrian king
Sargon II
(reigned 721-705 BC), there is some identity of Ashur with
Anshar,
the father of An
(Akkadian: Anu) in the Enuma Elish. Under Sargon's successor Sennacherib,
deliberate and thorough attempts were made to transfer to Ashur the primeval
achievements of Marduk,
as well as the whole ritual of the New
Year festival. Then, as now, the
"gods" are made in the image of the dominant city or nation.
ASHURBANIPAL
ATRAHASIS
The Old Babylonian "Myth of Atrahasis" is a
motif showing a relationship with the account of the creation of man
to relieve the gods of toil in the "Enki
and Ninmah" myth, and with a Sumerian
account of the Flood in the "Eridu Genesis." The Atrahasis myth,
however, treats these themes with noticeable originality and
remarkable depth. It relates, first, how the gods originally had to
toil for a living, how they rebelled and went on strike, how Enki
suggested that one of their number--the god We
BABYLON
(Babil)
"Gate(s) of God", capital of the Babylonians,
on the river Euphrates. Its patron god was
Marduk.
Also known as Shuanna.
It is said to have been founded by the
Assyrian
Ninus or his wife
Semiramis.
The Greek form of the Hebrew word
bavel, which is closely allied and
probably derived from the Akkadian
babilu or "gate
of God." The connection between Akkad,
Calneh, Erech,
and Babylon (Gen. 10:10) indicates a period at least as early as
3000 B.C. Babylon may have been founded originally by the Sumerians, and an
early tablet recorded that Sargon of Akkad (c. 2400) destroyed
Babylon.
BABEL
Hebrew baÇbel (confusion) from balal (overthrow). The inner meaning
of the Tower
of Babel,as a device so that the
"worshippers could move into the presence of the gods" It is a house
of initiation, a gate, portal, opening, or entrance to the divine.
The physical tower was both the building to house and protect the
initiation chambers, along with the ceremonies that take place in
them, and an architectural symbol to signify a raising up towards heaven.
The tower may have either a divine or evil significance, either
haughty pride
and self-sufficiency or spiritual aspiration.
BAU
(Sumerian), also called NININSINA, Akkadian
Gula, or
Ninkarrak,
in Mesopotamian religion, city goddess of Urukug in the
Lagash region and, under the name
Nininsina, the Queen of Isin, city goddess
of Isin,
south of Nippur.
Bau seems
originally to have been goddess of the
dog; as Nininsina she was long
represented with a dog's head,
and the dog was her symbol. Perhaps because the licking of sores by dogs
was believed to have healing value, she became a goddess of healing.
She was a daughter of An,
king of the gods, and the wife of
Pabilsag, a
rain god who was also called Ninurta,
or Ningirsu.
BEER AND BARLEY
Barley is still the primary ingredient of
beer. It along with rye supports ergot,
a fungus. After eating flour milled from ergot-infected rye, humans
and livestock may develop ergotism, a condition sometimes called St.
Anthony's Fire. The symptoms may include convulsions, miscarriages
in females, and dry gangrene and may result in death. Ergot is also
the source of lysergic acid, from which the powerful hallucinogen
lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)
is easily synthesized. Mild beer or wine naturally fermented was
often "spiked" with contaminated beer. The "exercises," then and
now, were considered proof of the indwelling "gods." The same effect
can be procuded by revivalistic music causing "speaking in tongues."
BEL
(Akkadian), Sumerian
Enlil,
Mesopotamian god of the air and a member of the triad of gods
completed by Anu
(Sumerian: An) and Ea
(Enki). Enlil
meant Lord Wind: both the hurricane and the gentle winds of spring
were thought of
- as the breath issuing from his mouth,
- and eventually as his word or
command.
He was sometimes called Lord of the Air.
The Hebrew ruwach as in "the spirit hovered over the face of the
waters" is often personified as a third member of the god "family"
and is assigned tasks quite similar to Bel or Enlil.
Baal
(Chaldean) [from Semitic ba`al chief, lord] Lord, considered as the
lord of the land, and his temple at Nippur was called
E-kur
(the mountain house), just as Ea's was the watery house.
In Exodus he was named Ba`al-Tsephon, the
god of the crypt. He was likewise named Seth or Sheth, signifying a
pillar (phallus);
and it was owing to these associations that he was considered a
hidden god. Among the Ammonites, a people of East Palestine, he was
known as Moloch
(the king); at Tyre he was called
Melcarth. The worship of Ba`al was
introduced into Israel under Ahab,
his wife being a Phoenician princess.
"Typhon,
called Set, who was a great god in Egypt during the early dynasties,
is an aspect of Baal and Ammon as also of Siva, Jehovah and other
gods. Baal is the all-devouring Sun,
in one sense, the fiery Moloch" As to the leaping of the prophets of Ba`al,
mentioned in the Bible (1 Kings 18:26), Blavatsky writes: "It was
simply a characteristic of the Sabean worship, for it denoted the
motion of the planets round the sun.
That the dance was a Bacchic
frenzy is apparent. Sistra
were used on the occasion"
BELILI
BELIT
(Akkadian), Sumerian
Ninlil,
Mesopotamian goddess, the consort of the god Bel (Sumerian: Enlil)
and a deity of destiny. She was worshiped especially at
Nippur
and
Shuruppak
and was the mother of the moon god,
Sin (Sumerian:
Nanna).
In Assyrian documents Belit
is sometimes identified with Ishtar
(Sumerian: Inanna) of Nineveh and sometimes made the wife of either
Ashur,
the national god of Assyria, or of
Enlil (href="#BEL">Bel),
god of the atmosphere.
The Sumerian Ninlil
was a grain goddess, known as the Varicoloured Ear (of barley). She
was the daughter of Haia, god of the stores, and Ninshebargunu (or
Nidaba). The myth recounting the rape of Ninlil by her consort,
the wind god Enlil,
reflects the life cycle of the grain.
BRAZEN Serpent
When the Jews in the wilderness complained to
Moses, "the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit
the people; and much people of Israel died" (Num 21:6); wherefore
"Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came
to pass, that if a serpent has bitten any man, when he beheld the
serpent of brass, he lived" (21:9).
As the Hebrew words for serpent and brass are the
same when the Massoretic points are omitted (N H SH),has been
used referring to the Evil One,
called by the later Jews the Deprived
(Nahash),
but the fiery serpents "were the
Seraphim, each one of which, as Isaiah
shows (6:2), 'had six wingsf.'
Just as the
serpent is connected with knowledge, wisdom, and
magic, so
likewise has copper or brass
since immemorial time in all mystic schools been a metallic compound
supposed to be under the particular governance of the planet Venus, which
is the ruler or controller of the human higher manas -- manas being at once
the savior as well as the tempter of mankind, for it is
in the mind
where temptation and sin or
evildoing ultimately arise. See also
SERPENT.
Nahash
and Lahash
make a close connection between the tempter in the garden of Eden,
the offspring of Lamech (reincarnated as Ea) and the musical enchanters of Mesopotamis.
Theosophy
BULL OF HEAVEN
Anu
created this monster to kill
Gilgamesh at
the request of Ishtar.
It had the bad habit of throwing spit and "Bull excrement" in the
battle with Gilgamesh and
Enkidu. Showing
no mercy, Enkidu
and Gilgamesh kill it and offer it to the sun or Shamash.
BULL WORSHIP
The bull has been worshiped as a symbol of
fertility. He may be white as seen in the Egyptian Apis, who
in legend is Osiris
"incarnate" This was the worship by the Israelites at Mount Sinai
where the golden calf was worshipped with singing, dancing,
instruments and sex. The sacred bulls did not necessarily represent
male animals, but were mystically considered to be hermaphrodite or
even sexless: thus the Egyptian bull, Apis, was a hermaphrodite to
show his magical character.
Gender confusion was always a primary ingredient to the priesthood
which H. Bamford Parkes identifies as the world's oldest profession.
See the
worship in Egypt
BYTHUS, Bythos
(Greek) The depth; chaos, the primeval
deep, adopted by the Gnostics. For example, with Valentinus it was
the cosmic source whence emanated two by two the series of aeons.
Sometimes it was considered as one member of a primordial cosmic
mystic square -- sige
(silence), bythos
(depth), nous
(intellect), and aletheia
(truth); sometimes bythos
was paired by Gnostics with sige
as composing a primordial cosmic binary. See also
ABYSS.
The worship of Jesus Christ was not to be in "place" or "time" but
in spirit (much like nous) and in truth (aletheia). Paul insisted
that women remain in silence for that short period for taking the
Lord's Supper and prayer. This extended to mose men who were nost
inspired, which menta most men.
CALAH
Ashurnasirpal's
most impressive monument was his own palace in Kalakh, covering a
space of 269,000 square feet (25,000 square metres). Hundreds of
large limestone slabs were used in murals in the staterooms and
living quarters. Most of the scenes were done in relief, but painted
murals also have been found. Most of them depict mythological themes
and symbolic fertility rites, with the king participating. Brutal
war pictures were aimed to discourage enemies. The chief god of
Kalakh was Ninurta,
god of war and the hunt. The tower of the temple dedicated to
Ninurta also served as an astronomical observatory. Kalakh soon
became the cultural centre of the empire. Ashurnasirpal claimed to
have entertained 69,574 guests at the opening ceremonies of his
palace
CHALDEA
(Chaldaea, Assy Kaldu, Bab Kasdu, Heb Kasddim)
Chaldea is first mentioned in the annals of
the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II (reigned 884/883-859 BC), though
earlier documents referred to the same area as the "Sealand." In 850
Shalmaneser III of Assyria raided Chaldea and reached the Persian
Gulf, which he called the "Sea of Kaldu." On the accession of Sargon
II to the Assyrian throne (721), the Chaldean Marduk-apla-iddina II
(the biblical Merodach-baladan), ruler of Bit-Yakin (a district of
Chaldea), seized the Babylonian throne and, despite Assyrian
opposition, held it from 721 to 710. He finally fled, however, and
Bit-Yakin was placed under Assyrian control.
CHALDEAN
Chaldees, inhabitants of Chaldea or lower
Mesopotamia, where Ur (Genesis 11:28) was the ancient city of the
Sumerians. They invented writing, astrology, and the magic arts in the
fourth millennium BC. They were highly in demand until Roman times
for their knowledge of divining, interpreting dreams and
fortune-telling. They are implicated in 1 Corinthians 13 as Paul
compared speaking in tongues to the pagan musical magic made
possible by the clanging sounds of brass or bronze. As long as the
Persian empire lasted there was always a distinction between the
Persian magi,
who were credited with profound and extraordinary religious
knowledge, and the Babylonian magi, who were often considered to be
outright imposters.
COSMOS
Man's view of the cosmos has influenced his
understanding of what are called angels and demons. The cosmos may
be viewed as monistic, as in Hinduism, in which the cosmos is
regarded as wholly sacred or as participating in a single divine
principle (Brahman, or Being itself). The cosmos may also be
viewed as dualistic, as in Gnosticism (an esoteric religious
dualistic belief system, often regarded as a Christian heretical
movement, that flourished in the Greco-Roman world in the 1st and
2nd centuries AD), in which the world of matter was generally
regarded as evil and the realm of the spirit as good. A third view
of the cosmos, generally found in the monotheistic religions of
Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam, centred on a
tripartite universe: celestial, terrestrial, and subterrestrial.
This third view has influenced Western man's concepts of angels and
demons as well as his scientific and metaphysical concepts.
DEMON OR Daemon
It seems that in addition to the public and official cult of
the "twelve great gods" and their subordinate divinities, the Assyrians had a
more sacred and secret religion, a religion of
mystery and magic and sorcery.
These "religious" texts, moreover, together with a mass of
talismanic inscriptions on cylinders and amulets, prove the presence
of an exceedingly rich demonology. Below the greater and lesser gods
there was a vast host of spirits, some of them good and beneficent
and some of them evil and hurtful. And these spirits were described
and classified with an exactness which leads some to liken the
arrangement to that of the choirs
and orders of our own angelic hierarchy.
The antiquity and importance of this secret religion, with its
magic and
incantations
of the good spirits or evil demons, may be gathered from the fact
that by order of King
Assurbanipal
his scribes made several copies of a great magical work according to
a pattern which had been preserved from a remote antiquity in the
priestly school of Erech in Chaldea.
This work consisted of three books, the first of which is entirely
consecrated to
incantations
(chanting a powerful song),
conjurations
(to summon a god),
and imprecations
(A curse)
against the evil spirits. These cuneiform books, it must be
remembered, are really written on clay tablets. And each of the
tablets of these first books which has come down to us ends with the
title, "Tablet No. - of the Evil Spirits". The ideogram which is
here rendered as kullulu
-- "accursed" or "evil" -- might also be read as limuttu --
"baneful". Besides being known by the generic name of udukku -- "spirit"
-- a demon is called more distinctly
ecimmu, or maskimmu. One
special class of these spirits was the
sedu, or
divine bull, which is represented in
the well-known figure of a man-headed bull so common on the Assyrian
monuments. This name, it may be remarked, is probably the source of
the Hebrew word for demon. The Assyrian sedu, it is true,
was more commonly a beneficent or
tutelary
(guardian)
spirit. But this is hardly an obstacle to the derivation, for the
good spirits of one nation were often regarded as evil by men of
rival races. (Catholic
Encyclopedia)
DAG,
DAGAN,
Dagon
(Hebrew, Phoenician) [from dag fish + on
diminutive; or from dagan grain] Fish or a little fish; a Philistine
god, at Ashod and Gaza, mentioned several places in the Bible (e.g.
Judges 16). He was more than a local deity, however, as place-names
called after him are widespread. Some scholars assert there was an
ancient Canaanite deity of similar name, and also associate this
Shemitic god with the Babylonian Dagan. It is commonly believed that
Dagon was represented as half-man half-fish and identified with
Oannes,
though no such early representations bear his name. Some scholars
cite Philo Byblius as making Dagon the discoverer of grain and the
inventor of the plow, an earth god parallel with Bel.
DAMKINA
(Chaldean, Babylonian)
Consort of Enki, ruler of
absu
of Eridu. Dannina "Stronghold", term for the underworld. Sometimes
Davkina. Consort of Ea
or Hea,
god of the watery regions, partaking of Ea's
characteristics, therefore called Damgal-nunna (great lady of the
waters), likewise Nin-Ki (lady of that which is below, i.e., the
watery deeps or
underworld). Mother of
Marduk
(or Merodach or Bel).
DAMU
Sumerian deity, city god of Girsu on the
Euphrates River near Ur
in the southern orchards region. Damu, son of
Enki,
was a vegetation god, especially of the vernal flowing of the sap of trees and plants.
His name means "the child," and his cult--apparently celebrated
primarily by women--centred
on the lamentation
and search for Damu, who had lain under the bark of his nurse,
the cedar tree,
and had disappeared. The search finally ended when the god
reappeared out of the river.
The cult of Damu influenced and later blended
with the similar cult of
Dumuzi the
Shepherd, a Sumerian deity worshiped by the central grasslands
people. A different deity called Damu was a goddess of healing and
the daughter of Nininsina
of Isin.

DEEP
(See
Abyss,
Bythos) The Hebrew
word is "tehom"
which is different from the normal word for sea which is "yam".
Genesis 1:2 also uses it: "The
earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of
the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the
waters." The waters
from the flood also came from the deep as stated in Genesis 7:11: "on
that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the
window of the heavens were opened."
Rain was often thought to be the water of the deep coming through
the sky ceiling of the firmament. The word "tehom"
is related to the Babylonian word
TIAMAT.
DEMIGODS
One of the orders of semi-divine instructors, spiritual beings in
human form. Herodotus, among other Greek writers, speaks of humanity
being ruled successively by gods, demigods, heroes, and men. We
still get confused.
DEMONS GALAS
The demons of the underworld. In ancient
Babylonia many demons were mentioned on the clay tablets, e.g.
Alu, who
crushed men by falling on top of them when they were asleep. The
demoness Lamastu,
pale-faced with donkey's ears, bare-breasted and with poisonous
claws, killed babies at their mother's breast. Illnesses and
misfortunes were personified as demons, both make and female, with
Akkadian or Sumerian names. She is a model for
Lilith.
Groups of demons are:
Asakku
(Sumerian Asag), seven
created by Anu and defeated by Ninurta, a victory also attributed to
Nergal. Gallu,
a term which originally referred to police officers (!) Sebitti, "The
Seven".
Individuals with Akkadian names are: Bel Uri "Lord of
the Roof" Bennu
"Fits" Idiptu
"Wind" Libu
"Scab" Lamashtu,
a female demon, a disease Mimma lemnu
"Something evil" Miqut
"stroke" Muttabriqu
"Flashes of lightning" Pasittu
"She who erases" (an epithet of Lamashtu) Ugallu (Lion demon)
Rabishu
"The Croucher" Sarabda
"Bailiff" Sidana "Staggers" Suruppu,
a disease brought on by flood
waters Tirid
"Expulsion" Umma
"Feverhot" Umu,
a storm demon.
Individuals with Sumerian names are: Saghulhaza,
"Upholder of evil" And the
doorkeepers of the Underworld:
Engidudu
(also an epithet of Erra), Endushuba,
Endukuga,
Endashurimma,
Ennugigi,
Enuralla/Nerulla,
Nerubanda.
DILMUN
Dilmun is the Sumerian name of
an ancient independent kingdom that flourished c. 2000 BC, often
identified with al-Bahrain
Because Dilmun has no fresh
sparkling water
ENKI
orders
UTU, the sun god,
to fill it with fresh
water brought up from
the earth. Dilmun is thus turned into a divine
garden.
In this garden 8 plants are created and grown by
NINHURSAG
only to be eaten by ENKI. NINHURSAG becomes so angry that she places
the curse of death on ENKI whose eight organs then begin to fail.
NINHURSAG leaves Dilmun although the other gods eventually convince
NINHURSAG to return to cure ENKI. She does so by creating eight
healing gods including
NINTI.
DIMME
LAMASHTU
DINGIR
The chief deity of the Akkadians; one of the
forms of the creative powers as recognized by the earlier Akkadians.
Every one of these demiurgic powers is the chief or first in his or
her own field of activity in the universe, so that in one mythology
may be found several such chief or first divinities, each being the
chief or hierarch in his or her own hierarchy, but all nevertheless
subordinate to the karmic mandates of the inclusive, all-enclosing,
cosmic primordial elements. These chief divinities are the cosmic
elements originating in and from the primordial element, which
because of the extreme reverence in which it was held by archaic
thought is often not mentioned, it being part of the teaching of the
sanctuary.
DRAGON
Monster usually viewed as a huge, bat-winged,
fire-breathing, scaly lizard or snake with a barbed tail. These
beasts are apt symbols of kings such as that of Tyre and Babylon
who, when evil, are under the influence
of Lucifer.
In the Middle East the snakes are large
and deadly and therefore the serpent or dragon was symbolic of the
principle of evil.
The Egyptian god
Apepi,was the serpent of the world
of darkness. But the Greeks and Romans, though accepting the Middle
Eastern idea of the serpent as an evil power, also thought the
drakontes
as beneficial--sharp-eyed
dwellers in the inner parts of the
Earth.
The
Chaldean
dragon Tiamat
had four legs, a scaly body, and wings, whereas the biblical dragon of
Revelation, "the old serpent,"
was many-headed like the Greek Hydra.
Because they not only possessed both protective and terror-inspiring
qualities but also had decorative
effigies, dragons were early used as warlike emblems.
DUMUZI
"Son of the
Abyss,"
the ever-dying, ever-reviving Sumerian prototype of the resurrected
savior, was a harvest god of ancient Mesopotamia, Sumerian god of
vegetation and the under-world. Also called "the
shepherd" and "lord
of the sheepfolds." Dumuzi known from
his horned lunar crown,
is the son-husband of the goddess
Gula-Bau
seen sitting in front of the serpent
in a relief "Goddess of the Tree of
Life" ca. 2500 B.C. Dumuzi's
mother was
Ningizzida, an ancestor of
Gilgamesh, consort of Ianna (Ishtar).
The Great Goddess (symbolized by
Demeter) also correlates to
Dionysus-Bacchus-Zagreus (or in the older, Sumero-Babylonian myths,
Dumuzi-absu,
Tammuz,
the "child of the abyss,"
who was originally a tree god and son of Ningishzida, he
died because of Ishtar's
love. Tammuz
also Thammuz
is the tenth month of the year in the Jewish calendar [Hebrew Tammuz, from
Babylonian Duíuzu,
the name of a god]. In Egypt, Tammuz was a god of harvest (late
summer month) of Mesopotamia, Akkad
and Sumer.
Tammuz (Ezek. 8:14)
is equivalent to Osiris
(Hay-Tau)
in Egypt and Adonis
[Greek Adonis,
from Phoenician adon, lord].
Osiris
is Dionysus
in the Greek tongue, and the Roman
Bacchus. A cylinder seal from
Erech, end of the fourth century B.C., depicts the god Tammuz (a
fertility god widely worshipped in Mesopotamia, Syria, and
Palestine) feeding the cattle of
the temple. Tammuz was killed by a wild boar while shepherding
his flocks. His wife rescued him from the underworld. His death
was taken to represent the onset of winter. The Adonis Cult (in
Nega, Byblus -Syrian coast)
parallels Dumuzi, Tammuz, and Attis.
DUMUZI-AMASHUMGALANA
Tammuz and
Damu
were joined to become a fertility god who probably represented the
power in the sap
to rise in trees
and plants in spring. The relation of still other figures to Tammuz, such as
Dumuzi-Abzu--a goddess who appears to have been the power in the
waters underground (the
Abzu) to bring new
life to vegetation--is not entirely clear. see marriage to Ishtar
from above link
Sumerian deity especially popular in the
southern orchard regions and later in the central grassland area. He
was the young bridegroom of the goddess Inanna (Akkadian:
Ishtar),
a fertility figure sometimes called the Lady of the Date Clusters.
As such, he represented the power of growth and new life in the date
palm. In Erech,
the marriage of
Inanna, in her role as goddess of
the storehouse, to Dumuzi-Amaushumgalana was essentially a harvest
festival, symbolizing the security the community felt after laying
in provisions for the new year.
DUMUZI-ABZU
Sumerian deity, city goddess of Kinirsha near
Lagash
in the southeastern marshland region. She represented the power of
fertility and new life in the marshes. Dumuzi-Abzu corresponded to
the Sumerian god Dumuzi (see Tammuz) of the central herding area,
and thus around Eridu she was viewed as male and as son of Enki
(Akkadian: Ea, also called the Lord of Apsu).
EA (ENKI)
(Akkadian), Sumerian
Enki,
Mesopotamian god of water and a member of the triad of deities
completed by Anu
(Sumerian An) and Bel
(Enlil). From a local deity worshiped in the city of
Eridu,
Ea evolved into a major god, Lord of
Apsu (also spelled
Abzu), the fresh waters beneath the earth (although Enki means
literally "lord of the earth"). In the Sumerian myth, "Enki
and the World Order," Enki is said to
have fixed national boundaries and assigned gods their roles.
According to another Sumerian myth Enki is the creator, having
devised men as slaves to the gods. In his original form, as Enki, he
was associated with semen
and amniotic fluid, and therefore with fertility. He was commonly
represented as a half-goat, half-fish
creature, from which the modern astrological figure for Capricorn is
derived. He is also identified with
Oannes.
Ea governed
the arts of sorcery
and incantation.
In some stories he was also the form-giving god, and thus the
patron of craftsmen and artists (see
KOSMOS
below); he was known as the bearer of
culture. In his role as adviser to the king, Ea was a wise god
although not a forceful one. In Akkadian myth, as Ea's character
evolves, he appears frequently as a clever mediator who could be
devious and cunning. He is also significant in Akkadian mythology as
the father of Marduk, the national god of Babylonia. Also known as
Nudimmud,
a name associated with function as a creator-god. Epithet: "Nussiku"
translated here as far-sighted.
When the younger gods grew too noisy,
Apsu
and Mummu
decided to murder them. Ea, who knows all, discovered the plot and
attacked Apsu with a magical spell.
Tiamat plotted
revenge but again Ea found out but was too fearful. His father,
Anshar
urged him on but Ea decided to negotiate. However, when Tiamat
refused, Ea's son,
Marduk, decided to destroy her if
he could become the most high God. He succeeded and of course all
earlier gods were demoted so that he got all of the glory.
EA-EL
Ea or Hea
(Akkadian, Chaldean) [from house + water] One of the three chief
gods of the Chaldaeo- or Assyro-Babylonian
celestial triad of Anu,
Bel,
and Ea.
In the division of the universe into heaven, earth, and water,
Ea is
king of the watery deeps (Shar Apsi); also Lord of that which is
below (En-Ki).
Ea is seen as a man with the body of a fish,
and is probably
Oannes and Dagon.
Marduk
are also aspects of this same deity. His consort is
Damkina
(lady of that which is below) or Damgal-nunna (great lady of the
waters).
EANNA
or E-Anna "House of the Sky, name of
the temple of Anu
and Ishtar
in Uruk, also called "The Pure Treasury."
Anu descended to Earth only on special
occasions, in time of crisis, or for ceremonial reasons. When on
Earth he would stay in the temple of Anu and Ishtar, the E-ANNA or
"House of An" or the "House of the Sky" or "the Pure Treasury" atop
the ziggurat in Uruk,
his sacred city. The word ziggurat comes from the Babylonian
"zaquru" and means "to be high or raised up." It signifies the top
of a mountain or a staged tower and such a tower provided an
artificial mountain on the flat Mesopotamian plain.
EA-ENGURRA
Temple of the god Ea in Eridu.
EIGHT CHILDREN OF KI
Abu, Nintul, Ninsutu, Ninkasi, Nazi, Dazimua,
Ninti, Enshagag. The Goddess Uttu, in the paradise of Dilmun, made 8
plants sprout from her union with Enki. He then proceeded to eat
them all. Ki cursed him for this and he became ill. He convinced her
to remove her curse, and she created eight gods of healing, one for
each pain Enki was having, to cure him. Each name of the gods is a
pun for the body parts they healed.
EKUR
"Mountain-house" The temple of the god
Ellil in Nippur,
where Ninurta was born.
ENHEDUANNA
ELLIL
(Illil, Sumerian Enlil)
Sumerian god, leader of the younger generation
of Sumerian and Akkadian gods. Cult center Nippur. Temple called
Ekur.
Spouse Mulittu; son
Ninurta.
Old interpretation of his name as "Lord Wind/Air" uncertain.
Epithet: "King of all populated lands." Symbol: A horned crown on a
shrine. Son of the supreme god Anu, whom he succeeded. See also
Anzu, Ninurta.
ENKI (EA)
Enki, son of
An and Nammu, was the god of the underground freshwater ocean (the
abzu", sometimes referred to as the apsu"). His name can be taken to
mean "Lord Earth," but "ki" can also refer to 'the below' in the
two-tiered cosmic structure, in opposition to "an": heaven. Enki is also a
god of wisdom, a faculty which included practical skills (such as
arts and crafts), intellectual faculties, the ability to "decree
fates", and the command of magical powers. In the Atrahasis myth, for
example, it was Enki's intercession which saved mankind from the
flood and pestilence ordered by Enlil. He is sometimes referred to
as Nudimmud or Ninsiku.
His wife is Damgaknuna/Damkina.
Among his children are Asarluhi, Enbilulu, Adapa, and Nanse. His
symbols include the goatfish, the tortoise, a ram-headed staff, and
a ship or similar vessel overflowing with water.

SENDS IBRUUM TO STOP MARDUK
Story So Far:
The Gutians subdued Inanna's
rebellion of 2255 B.C. and
Gutian calvary supported
Ninurta's rebuilding of
Mesopotamia. The
Gutians returned to the
Zagros Mountains 2160B.C..
and Ninurta's brother Nannar
ruled Sumer for ninety-one
years. This was the
Era of Ninurta, an era of
agricultural develpment.
During this time Nannar, no
longer eclipsed by daughter
Inanna, ruled Sumer.
Nannar appointed Ur-Nammu,
son of the the "goddess"
Ninsun, as Supreme King.

CLUMSY DEATH OF ENLILITE'S CHOOSEN
KING, TWO THIRDS NIBIRAN UR-NAMMU,
DESTABILIZES SUMER
In 2113 B.C.E.,
Enlil choose
Ur-Nammu, Ninsun's
son, Supreme King of
Sumer/Akadda. Anu
approved Ur-Nammu.
"The choice was a
signal that the
glorious days under
the unchallenged
authority of Enlil
and his clan are
back."
[Sitchin, Z., 2007,
The End of Days,
page 52].The
King would serve
under Enlil's son
Nannar who'd dictate
laws of obedience,
justice and
morality.
[Sitchin, Z., 1985,
The Wars of Gods
and Men, pages
262-264; 2007,
The End of Days,
page 60 -61].
The Enlilites
ordered Ur-Nammu to
destroy Marduk's
Amorites west of
Sumer. Ur Nammu and
his forces attacked
cities where Nabu
had allies for
Marduk's drive to
rule Earth. Enlil
gave Ur-Nammu a
"divine weapon that
heaps up the rebels
in piles" to zap the
cities Nabu'd
suborned. Enlilites
called Nabu "the
oppressor" and the
areas he influenced
"evil, sinning and
rebellious." The
Enlilite gods of
Sumer gave Ur-Nammu
blessing, honor,
weapons and
protection.
But in 2096 B.C.E.,
"in the midst of
battle, his chariot
got stuck in the
mud; Ur-Nammu fell
off it, the chariot
rushed along,
leaving the King
behind. The
boat returning
Ur-Nammu's body to
Sumer sank with him
on board." In
Sumer, "The people
could not understand
how such a
religiously devout
king who only
followed gods'
directives with
weapons they put in
his hands could
perish so
ignominously."
Support of Utu,
Nannar, Inanna,
Enlil and even Anu
couldn't protect
him.
The people of Sumer
believed Nabu.
The Enlilite gods
had deceived and
deserted them.
Nibiru would return
in the constellation
The Ram--Marduk's
constellation--sooner
than the Enlilites
said. Nibiru's
return, said Nabu,
would herald the Era
of Marduk, the
Redeemer, who'd
conquer Sumer &
Akkad, the Elamites,
Hittites, Enlil's
Sealand allies and
the whole world.
[Sitchin, Z., 2007, The End of
Days, page 63 -
66]

GALZU VISION LEADS ENLIL
TO CHOOSE ABRAHAM TO
BLOCK MARDUK
Enlil dreamed the mysterious
Galzu, whom he thought
represented the Creator of
All, warned him that when
Earth moved zodiacally from
the Enlil’s age--the Age of
the Bull--to the Age of the
Ram, Marduk would rule the
Earth. In the dream, Galzu
told Enlil "a righteous and
worthy man must be choosen,
by him and his seed will
Civilized Man be preserved!
" Enlil told no one of the
vision but
prepared to create a mobile
general who could stop
incursions by Marduk and his
son Nabu.
Enlil ordered his son Nannar
to have Tirhu, Nannar's
high-priest/king
[ie, hybrid
of much Anunnaki ancestry]
establish himself in Harran
at the headwater of the
Euphrates (in what's now
Turkey, near the Syrian
border) the trade center in
Hatti, land of the Hittites.
The Euphrates flows from
Harran to the Enlilite
capital, Ur. Harran's
also at the crossroads of
the trade and military land
routes to the postdeluvial
spaceport in the Sinai.
[Sitchin,
2007, The End of Days,
page 73]
2048 BC, the year Enlil had
Shulgi killed, Enlil sent
Ibruum/Abraham from Harran on
missions to thwart Nabu's
control of Tilmum, the spaceport
on the Sinai. "Protect
the sacred places, the chariots'
ascents and descents enable,
Enlil Ibruum to go commanded."
As soon as Ibruum left
Harran, Marduk moved in, made
Harran his headquarters, and
spent the next twenty-four years
planning his take-over of Earth.
"By that he took away from
Nannar/Sin this vital northern
crossroads and severed Sumer
from the Northern land of the
Hittites, deprived Sumer of its
economically vital commercial
ties" and enabled Nabu to
marshal the cities west of the
Euphrates" which were now under
control of the father-son team,
including the landing place
[Tilmum]"
[Sitchin,
Z.,
2002, The Lost Book of Enki,
pages 302 - 306;
2007,The End
of Days, page 78].
"The failure of the War of
the Kings to subdue the
rebel land secure the
landing place, led him to
send his Champion, Ninurta
to supervise and alternate
spaceport in Peru.
Enlil, too, had been away
from Sumer, and he returned
to find that the Elamite
legions--Ninurta's Foreign
Service garrisoned in
Sumer-Iraq had gotten out of
control and committed what
the gods considered to be
"sacrileges."
Enlil summoned Ninurta to
account for his Elamites'
crimes but Ninurta put all
the blame on Marduk and
Nabu, so Enlil ordered a
council to try Nabu. In the
council meeting,
Utu-Shamash, the Spaceport
Commander, accused Nabu of
aggression. "Nabu blamed
Ninurta and revived old
accusations against Nergal
in regard to the
disappearance of the
pre-Deluvial monitoring
instruments and the failure
to prevent sacrileges in
Babylon. Nabu got in a
shouting match with Nergal.
Then Nabu accused Enlil of
telling the Elamites to
violate Marduk's temples in
Babylon. ''There is no
justice, destruction was
conceived" Nabu shouted.
Nabu's outburst, "an
unheard-of accusation
against the Lord of
Command."
Enki defended Marduk and
said that in Celestial Time
(rather than the Zodiac Time
Enlilites favored), Marduk
should rule Earth. But
Enki's other son, Marduk's
jealous brother Nergal,
blamed Marduk and Nabu for
the turmoil. Enki told
Nergal to shut up and stop
obstructing Marduk and Nabu.
Enki and Nabu "argued so
much that Enki shouted to
Nergal to get out of his
presence. The gods' council
broke up in disarray."
[Sitchin, Z., 2007,The
End of Days, pages
87-88].
In 2041, to counter the
moves of Nabu and Marduk, Enlil
sent Ibruum and his cavalry to
block a coalition of kings near
the (not yet
but soon to be) Dead
Sea at a fortified oasis at
Kadesh-Barnea
(Dur-Mah-Ilani), "the closest
place where men could approach
in the region of the spaceport
without special permission.
The war was intended to prevent
the return of Marduk" [to
Babylon] and thwart Nabu's control of
Tilmum [Sitchin,
Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods
and Men, pages 302 - 307].
Ibruum/Abraham was Enlil's loyal
general. Enlil "equipped
him with the best chariots,
finest horses. " Abraham
won many skirmishes for Enlil,
"defending the spaceport in the
Sinai which was out of bounds to
all humans. Abraham had a
crack squad of 380 well-trained,
well-armed soldiers. "
Enlil gave Abraham weapons that
"could smite an army of ten
thousand men in hours."
Enlil rewarded him with riches
and land which made Ibruum the
richest man of his time.
Enlil's emissaries (angels) "used
Abraham and his nephew"
[Lot] to spy on Sodom and
Gomorra, cities Marduk controlled.
From Sodom and Gomorrah, Enlil
feared, Marduk "would marshal his
large number of human followers and
take control of all establishments
on Earth, including Enlil's
spaceport."

ENKIDU
(Ea-bani): Hero and friend and fellow warrior with
Gilgamesh.
Earlier, he is a wild man who lives with wild animals. He was tamed
by a harlot and taken to Uruk to oppose Gilgamesh. His name means
"created by Ea"
ENLIL
See Bel
He is the
wind or storm god and Christian writers are prone to equate the Holy
Spirit as a "person" to Enlil as the chief administrator of the
other "gods." His chief, in turn, is
Nusku and he is
the leader of the
Anunnaki.
Enlil is one of the most important gods of the
Mesopotamian pantheon. Sometimes he is said to be the offspring of
An,
and brother of the birth-goddess
Aruru. He is
also, however, sometimes described as the descendant of
Enki
and Ninki "Lord" and "Lady Earth," not to be confused with the deity
Enki). Yet a third tradition attributes his birth to the primeval
water-goddess Nammu.
His wife is Ninlil
( Among his prominent offspring are
Inanna,
Adad,
Nanna,
Nergal,
Ninurta,
and Utu.
The personality of Enlil is very complex. It is not certain what the
Sumerian element "lil" originally stood for. It has had meanings as
diverse as 'air,' and 'spirit.' He is the lord who 'determines the
fates,' a function he shares with the god Enki. It was Enlil who was
said to have separated the primordial heaven/earth, thus bringing
forth the created universe. On a cosmic level, while Enki's realm was
below (the abzu), and An
ruled above (the heavens), Enlil's
realm was the earth and the spheres of the winds and weather
above it. Enlil was responsible for all aspects of life: fertility
and prosperity, as well as famine and catastrophe. His great cult
center was the temple E-kur
at Nippur. He is sometimes also referred to as Nunamnir.
Enlil, who saw
Ninlil bathing
in a canal, raped and impregnated her. For his crime he was banished
to the Underworld.
ENMERKER
A Sumerian hero and king of
Erech,
a city-state in southern Mesopotamia, who is thought to have lived
at the end of the 4th or beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. Along
with Lugalbanda
and Gilgamesh, Enmerkar is one of the three most significant figures
in the surviving Sumerian epics.
Although scholars once assumed that there was
only one epic relating Enmerkar's subjugation of a rival city,
Aratta,
it is now believed that two separate epics tell this tale. One is called
Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta.
The longest Sumerian epic yet discovered, it is the source of
important information about the history and culture of the
Sumero-Iranian border area. According to this legend, Enmerkar, son
of the sun god Utu,
was envious of Aratta's wealth of metal and stones, which he needed
in order to build various shrines, especially a temple for the god
Enki in Eridu. Enmerkar therefore requested his sister, the goddess
Inanna, to aid him in acquiring material and manpower from Aratta;
she agreed and advised him to send a threatening message to the lord
of Aratta. The lord of Aratta, however, demanded that Enmerkar first
deliver large amounts of grain to him. Though Enmerkar complied, the
lord of Aratta refused to complete his part of the agreement;
threatening messages were again sent out by both men, each claiming
the aid and sanction of the goddess Inanna. The text becomes
fragmented at that point in the narrative, but in the end Enmerkar
was apparently victorious.
The other
epic relating the defeat of Aratta is known as Enmerkar and Ensuhkeshdanna.
In this tale the ruler of Aratta,
Ensuhkeshdanna (or Ensukushsiranna),
demanded that Enmerkar become his vassal. Enmerkar refused and,
declaring himself the favourite of the gods, commanded Ensuhkeshdanna to
submit to him. Although the members of Ensuhkeshdanna's council
advised him to comply with Enmerkar, he listened instead to a local
priest, who promised to make Erech subject to Aratta. When the
priest arrived in Erech, however, he was outwitted and killed by a
wise old woman, Sagburru, and the two sons of the goddess Nidaba.
After he learned the fate of his priest, Ensuhkeshdanna's will was
broken and he yielded to Enmerkar's demands.
A third
epic,
Lugalbanda and
Enmerkar, tells of the heroic
journey to Aratta
made by Lugalbanda in the service of Enmerkar. According to the
epic, Erech was under attack by Semitic nomads. In order to save his
domain, Enmerkar
required the aid of Inanna, who was in
Aratta. Enmerkar requested volunteers
to go to Inanna, but only Lugalbanda
would agree to undertake the dangerous mission. The epic concerns
the events of Lugalbanda's journey and the message given him from
Inanna for Enmerkar. Although obscure, Inanna's reply seems to
indicate that Enmerkar was to make special water vessels and was
also to catch strange fish from a certain river.

ERECH
Sumerian
Uruk, Greek
ORCHOË, modern Tall Al-warka', ancient Mesopotamian city located
northwest of Ur (Tall Al-Muqayyar) in southeastern Iraq. According
to legend it were built by the
Gilgamesh.
The principal Sumerian divinity worshiped
in ancient Erech appear to have been
Anu (An), a sky
god, and the goddess
Inanna
("Queen of the Sky"). One of the chief landmarks of the city is
the Anu
ziggurat crowned by the "White
Temple."
ERESHKIGAL
Eriskegal, Ereshkigal
(Allatu).
Queen of the underworld (Kur),
of death, and enemy of Inanna. All underwold deities are called
Chthonic Deities. She is said to be the sister of Inanna, making her
the daughter of Nanna.
She is defineitly not one of the Seven Chthonic
Anunnaki,
yet she is still an Anunnaki. Most likely she is the Destructive
Forces of Saturn as Inanna is Venus.
She was sister of Ishtar, spouse of
Nergal,
mother of Ninazu. The Babylonian Persephone, spouse of Nergal, the
god of the dead in the Underworld. As Mesopotamian goddess of the
nether world, queen of the lower regions, she is often praised in
hymns. One day Nergal was sent to her from heaven with an offering
of food. They fell in love with each other, and when he had to
leave, she was in tears and threatened Anu, the supreme god, that
she would revive all the dead, over which she ruled, and send them
back to earth, "so that they will outnumber the living", unless
Nergal was sent back to her, for ever, as a husband. Her minister
Namtar
had to go to heaven as her messenger, for Ereshkigal felt that she
was already pregnant. At last Nergal came storming down the stairs,
broke down the seven gates and burst into the goddess' palace
straight into her passionate embrace, "to wash away her tears."
ERIDU
One of the oldest seats of religious culture
in ancient Babylonia, located a few miles SSW of Ur in Chaldea, and
mentioned in ancient records as the city of the deep. In it was a
temple of Ea, god of the sea and of wisdom. Rediscovered in 1854, it
is now about 120 miles from the Persian Gulf, though spoken of in
old records as being on the shore; calculations based on the rate of
alluvial deposition places its date in the seventh millennium BC.
Sayce, by comparing the Akkadian calendar with the present position
of the vernal equinox, gives a date going back to 4700 BC
THE ERIDU GENESIS
Sumerian epic primarily concerned with the
creation of the world, the building of cities, and the flood.
According to the epic, after the universe was created out of the
primeval sea and the gods were given birth, the deities in turn
fashioned man from clay to cultivate the ground, care for flocks,
and perpetuate the worship of the gods.
Cities were soon built and kingship was
instituted on Earth. For some reason, however, the gods determined
to destroy mankind with a flood. Enki (Akkadian Ea), who did not
agree with the decree, revealed it to
Ziusudra (Utnapishtim),
a man well known for his humility and obedience. Ziusudra did as
Enki commanded him and built a huge boat, in which he successfully
rode out the flood. Afterward, he prostrated himself before the gods
An (Anu) and Enlil (Bel), and, as a reward for living a godly life,
Ziusudra was given immortality.
ERRA
(Mythica)
God of war, hunting, plagues. Etymology
"Scorched earth" probably incorrect. Assimilated with Nergal and
Gerra. Temple Emeslam in the city Kutha.
Epithet Engidudu "Lord who prowls by night" (see demons). See
Nergal.
Babylonian god of war, death, and other disasters. His greatest ally
was famine caused by drought. He may be identified with Nergal, the god of
death. He expressed death himself symbolically by his continuous
lethargy as he lay in a drunken stupor. War has always been the
major cause of death throughout history. Erra was supplicated to
ward off pestilence and other calamities. One of the earliest known
epic poems to come to light, written on clay tablets, is the Epic of
Erra. At the opening of the epic, Erra sits in his palace while his
weapons, which are in reality minor
gods called the Sibitti, complain
about his inaction. Erra persuades the old king-god of Babylon to
visit his old craftsmen in the land of Absu beneath the earth. Erra
is just on the point of destroying Babylonia when old Ishum,
minister of Marduk, warns him: "Those who make war are the
ignorant/War kills the priests and the sinless..." Although he has
already started devastating the country, Erra is pacified by the
wise minister and calls off the hounds of war. Marduk returns to
peace. See also Sibitti.
ESAGILA
Most important temple complex in ancient
Babylon, dedicated to the god
Marduk, the
tutelary deity of that city. The temple area was located south of
the huge ziggurat
called Etemenanki;
it measured 660 feet (200 m) on its longest side, and its three vast
courtyards were surrounded by intricate chambers. The whole complex
reflects centuries of building and rebuilding by the Babylonian
kings, especially Nebuchadrezzar II (reigned 604-562 BC). The
tremendous wealth of Esagila was recorded by the Greek historian
Herodotus.
ETANA
Son of
Kish and twelfth
king of Kish after the Flood, father of Balih. Thirteenth god-king
of the Sumerian dynasty ruling the city of Kish. Though he was
appointed by Anu
and prayed daily to
Shamash the sun-god, he had no
son. Shamash directed him to an eagle who had been snared by a
snake. Etana
freed the eagle who, in gratitude, carried the king on his back to
heaven. There, Etana, in front of the throne of
Ishtar,
begged for a son. She gave him the
plant of birth, which he probably had
to eat together with his wife. We know from history that Etana had a
son named Balih.
An incomplete epic about his exploits has been discovered.
ETANA MYTH
In the beginning, according to the epic, there
was no king on the earth; the gods
thus set out to find one
and apparently chose Etana,
who proved to be an able ruler until he discovered that his wife,
though pregnant, was unable to give birth, and thus he had no heir
to the throne. The one known remedy was the birth plant, which Etana
was required to bring down personally from heaven. Etana, therefore,
prayed to the god Shamash, who heard his request and directed him to
a mountain where a maimed eagle, languishing in a pit (into which it
had been thrown as punishment for breaking a sacred pact), would
help him obtain the special plant. Etana rescued the eagle, and as a
reward it carried him high up into the sky.
According to one fragment, Etana reached
heaven and bell before the gods. There the text breaks off.
According to another fragment, however, Etana either became dizzy or lost
his nerve before reaching heaven and crashed to the ground. If, as
many scholars believe, Etana was successful, the myth may have been
used to support early dynastic claims.
ETEMENANKI
The
Esagila was the
seven-storied temple of
Marduk which was
the "House of the Platform of heaven and earth." This was the
ancient and modern "Tower of Babel" where the slave-enriched
population were convinced that they could musically ascend the steps
and possibly come into the presence of a god. Then, as now, they
believed that the temple at the top was the platform upon which the
gods landed. From Esagila
northward passed the paved Processional
Way, its walls decorated with
enamelled lions. Passing through the Ishtar Gate, adorned with
enamelled bulls and dragons, it led to the Akitu House, a small
temple outside the city, visited by Marduk at the New Year festival.
West of the Ishtar Gate,
one of eight fortified gates, were two palace complexes that covered
about 40 acres with their fortifications.
FLOOD
Tablet XI of the epic of Gilgamesh
describes the great flood epic, as George Smith and Friedrich
Delitzsch discovered around the turn of the century, is about a
thousand years older than the biblical tale of Noah in Genesis 6.
The Babylonian epic introduces the immortal sage called
Utanapishtim
(in Sumerian called
Ziusudra). The
gods decided one day to drown
all human beings because they were noisy. The god
Ea
however, secretly descended to his favorite - Uta-Napishtim - and
told him to build a ship, giving him the exact measurements and
other instructions: "Dismantle your house, build a boat, leave your
possessions, look for your living ones to save them, out the seeds
of all that lives in your boat!" - a remarkably practical piece of
advice, such as one needs when disaster is immanent! Uta-Napishtim
did as he was advised, adding gold and silver to his cargo. For six
days and seven nights the storm blew. After that, the wind and sea
became calm once more. The flood then receded. Silence reigned. All
humanity had returned to clay.
Uta-Napishtim the sent out a dove
followed by a swallow and a raven. The first two returned but the
raven did not. The flood had by then diminished and land become
visible. In the Sumerian version all the windstorms (spirits),
exceedingly powerful, attacked as one At the same time the floods
swept over the cult-centers For seven days and nights the boat was
tossed about... Ziusudra (Zisutra) who has built his boat with
instructions from the god of wisdom, Enki, "Opens a window in his
boat...[until] Utu
the sun-god sends his rays of light into the boat." Ziusudra then
worshipped Utu.

GESHTINANNA, GESTINNANA (Demi-god)
(Sumerian) Sister of
Dumuzi,
Divine
poetress, singer, and interpreter of dreams.
The dying Dumuzi, tortured by nightmares, brought the dreams to his
sister for interpretation. Gestinanna realized her brother was under
attack by demons. She tells him this and advises him to flee. Dumuzi
flees, swearing Gestinanna to secrecy as to where he is going into
hiding. The demons attacked Gestinanna to force her to reveal her
brother's whereabouts, but she remained silent. The demons, however,
soon found Dumuzi, hiding in the form of a gazelle in his sister's
sheepfold. He was carried off to the underworld by them; Gestinanna
then set out to rescue him. They were eventually reunited after many
adventures. The goddess then persuaded the underworld divinities to
grant Dumuzi half her own life; thus each was allowed to live on
earth six months of each year. Her sister in the netherworld was
Ereshkigal.
GILGAMESH

HADAD
Also spelled HAD, HADDA, OR HADDU, the Old
Testament Rimmon,
West Semitic god of storms,
thunder, and rain. His attributes were identical with those of
Adad
of the Assyro-Babylonian pantheon. He was the chief baal ("lord")
of the West Semites (including both sedentary and nomadic Aramaeans)
in north Syria, along the Phoenician coast, and along the Euphrates
River. As Baal-Hadad he was represented as a bearded deity, often
holding a club and thunderbolt and wearing a horned headdress. The
bull was
the symbolic animal of Hadad, as of the Hittite deity Teshub, who
was identical with him.
HAMMURABI
King of Babylon 1848-1806 BC.
HESOID

HULLUPU TREE
After the heavens had been separated from the
earth and as Enki
was attacked, a huluppu (tree) had been planted on the banks of the
Euphrates. Then the South Wind plucked it up. Inanna roving around
in fear found the tree and took it to Erech. As it grew, the snake set up a
nest in the roots, the bird reared its young and
Lilith
built her house. Everyone laughed at Inanna's weeping. Later,
Gilgamesh struck the serpent,
the Anzu-Bird
flew away and Lilith
smashed her home and fled into the wild. From the trunk of the tree
Gilgamesh carved a throne for his sister.
HUMBABA
(Humwawa)
Guardian of the Pine forest, fire breathing
servant of the god Wer, depicted with a face lined like coiled
intestines, ancestor of the Greek Gorgon. His voice is the
Abubu-weapon.
Gilgamesh, also of that dynasty, figures as
the hero of a variety of short tales; some, such as "Gilgamesh and
Huwawa" and
In tablet 3-5 Enkidu and a
friend of Gilgamesh set out together against Huwawa or Humbaba, the
guardian of a remote cedar forest. There is not record of the
outcome. Clay mask of Humbaba, the guardian of the ceadar trees of
the Gods; defeated by Gilgamesh
IGIGI
(ee gee' gee)
Sumerian term for the great gods of the
younger generation, sky-gods headed by
Ellil, often
paired with the
Anunnaki.
Early deities who guide and control every
aspect of nature. Either they were not given much promenance later,
or they simply were never given much attention. Chances are that
these are Angels

Collective name for the great gods of heaven associated with blood, madness and
revenge.
INANNA (Inannu)
Sumerian
earth-goddess, sister of
Ereshkigal.
She loved Dumuzi.
Babylonian mother-goddess, "mistress of heaven." See
Ishtar
(Babylonian) .
Nanna's
daughter, and goddess of love and war. Inanna also visits
Kur,
which results in a myth similar to Greek seasonal story of
Persephone. She sets out to witness the funeral rites of her
sister-in-law
Ereshkigal's husband
Gugalana, the Bull
of Heaven. She takes precaution before setting out, by telling her
servant
Ninshubur
to seek assistance from Enlil, Nanna, or Enki at their shrines,
should she not return. Inanna knocks on the outer gates of Kur and
the gatekeeper, Neti, questions her. He consults with queen
Ereshkigal and then allows Inanna to pass through the seven gates of
the underworld. After each gate, she is required to remove
adornments and articles of clothing, until after the seventh gate,
she is naked. The
Annuna
pass judgment against her and
Ereshkigal
killed her and hung her on the wall.
The goddess Inanna was the most important
female deity of ancient Mesopotamia. The etymology of her name is
uncertain; but by the end of the third millennium B.C. it was taken
to derive from nin.an.na : "Lady of
Heaven." Also known as Innin, her epithets
reflect her broad role in the pantheon: Ninmesarra - "Queen of all the Me,"
a title making her one of the most influential deities in the world
of gods and men; Nu-ugiganna - "the
Hierodule of Heaven," a projection of
her erotic
functions to the cosmic
scale; and Usunzianna - "Exalted Cow of
Heaven," she who provides life and
sustenance to the land. In this aspect, it was Inanna who yearly
reunited symbolically with her consort Dumuzi to restore life and
fertility in the land.
This cycle, known as the Sacred Marriage,
was a common theme in songs sung
in her praise. Inanna represented the force of sexual reproduction
and the power of the passions so
incited. This passion finds its
compliment in her martial character, 'the heroic
champion, the destroyer
of foreign lands, foremost
in battle.'
She was the daughter of the moon-god
Nanna
(though some traditions held her to be the daughter of
An).
Her sister was the netherworld goddess Ereskigal.
Inanna's beast was the lion. Her usual symbol was the star or star disk
(though it may also have been the
rosette).
IMDUGUD See
NINURTA
ISHKUR
Married goddess Shala
Sumerian god of the rain and thunderstorms of
spring. He was the city god of Bit Khakhuru. He is similar to
Ninhar
(Ningubla)
and was imagined in the form of a great
bull and the son of Nanna (Akkadian
Sin), the
moon god. When he is portrayed in human shape, he often holds his
symbol, the lightning fork. Ishkur's
wife was the goddess Shala. In his
role as god of rain and thunder, Ishkur corresponded to the other
Sumerian deities Asalluhe and Ninurta. He was identified by the
Akkadians with their god of thunderstorms,
Adad.
ISHTAR
(Akkadian), Sumerian
Inanna,
in Mesopotamian religion, goddess of
war and sexual love. Ishtar is the
Akkadian counterpart of the West Semitic goddess Astarte. Inanna, an
important goddess in the Sumerian pantheon, came to be identified
with Ishtar,
but it is uncertain whether Inanna is also of Semitic origin or
whether, as is more likely, her similarity to Ishtar caused the two
to be identified. In the figure of Inanna several traditions seem to
have been combined: she is sometimes the daughter of the sky god
An,
sometimes his wife; in other myths she is the daughter of
Nanna,
god of the moon,
or of the wind, Enlil.
In her earliest manifestations she was associated with the
storehouse and thus personified as the goddess of dates, wool, meat,
and grain; the storehouse gates were her emblem. She was also the
goddess of rain and thunderstorms--leading to her association with
An, the
sky god--and was often pictured with the lion, whose roar
resembled thunder.
The power attributed to her in war may have arisen from her
connection with storms. Inanna was also a fertility figure,
and, as goddess of the storehouse and the bride of the god
Dumuzi-Amaushumgalana, who
represented the growth and fecundity of the date palm, she was
characterized as young, beautiful, and impulsive--never
as helpmate or mother. She is
sometimes referred to as the Lady of
the Date
Clusters.
Ishtar's primary legacy from the Sumerian
tradition is the role of fertility figure; she evolved, however,
into a more complex character, surrounded in myth by death and
disaster, a goddess of contradictory connotations and forces: fire
and fire-quenching, rejoicing and tears, fair play and enmity. The
Akkadian Ishtar is also, to a greater extent, an astral deity,
associated with the planet Venus: with
Shamash, sun
god, and Sin,
moon god, she
forms a secondary astral triad. In this manifestation her symbol is
a star with 6, 8, or 16 rays within a circle.
As goddess of Venus, delighting in bodily
love, Ishtar
was the protectress of prostitutes
and the patroness of the alehouse.
Part of her cult worship probably included temple prostitution,
and her cult centre,
Erech, was a
city filled with courtesans
and harlots.
Her popularity was universal in the ancient Middle East, and in
many centres of worship she probably subsumed numerous local
goddesses.
In later myth she was known as Queen of the Universe,
taking on the powers of An,
Enlil,
and Enki.
She appears at times as
Anu'
second consort. Ishtar,
with Shamash
and Sin
(the life-force, the sun, and the moon), formed an important triad of
divinities. In astronomy Ishtar was a name of the planet Venus -- the double
aspect of the goddess being made to correspond to the morning and
evening star. (Lucifer)
(Chaldean) Ancient Babylonian deity, eldest of
heaven and earth, daughter of Anu (the lord of the heavens) and
Antum. She is the sister of
Ereshkigal
and has to face her in the underworld. This visit is conntected with
Tammuz.
Her worship was fervently pursued by the multitude both in Babylonia
and Assyria,
although she was known under various names in different localities
-- Anunit, Nina, Nanna, Innanna, Atar -- even when represented as
the consort of Marduk
(Babylonia) and of Assur (Assyria). In popular conception, she was
the bounteous nature goddess, queen of beauty and joyousness,
equivalent to Aphrodite or Venus, however, rather than Ceres,
although synthesizing certain attributes of both these goddesses.
Her other aspect is as the grim, stern harvester, withdrawing the
life-forces so that everything during this period shall have sleep
and rest. This aspect was stressed by the warlike Assyrians, who
represented her as armed with bow and arrows, and hence she becomes
their chief goddess of battles; whereas the Babylonians stressed the
mother and child idea. Her symbol was an eight-rayed star.
KI / Ninhursag
(Sumerian) (Aruru),
Mammi
-Babylonian)
goddess of earth. Ki is likely to be the original name of the earth
goddess, whose name more often appears as
Ninhursag
(queen of the mountains),
Ninmah
(the exalted lady), or
Nintu (the lady who
gave birth). It seems likely that she and An
were the progenitors of most of the gods. She is the mother goddess
and assists in the creation of man.
There advised Enki as he
shaped several forms of man from the heart of the clay over the
Abzu. In
Dilmun, she
bore eight new
trees from Enki.
When he then ate her children, she cursed him with eight wounds.
After being persuaded by
Enlil
to undo her curse, she bore
Enki
eight new children which undid the wounds of the first ones.
Most often she is considered Enlil's sister, but in some
traditions she is his spouse instead.
KINGS (Sumerian)
KINGU
The dragon of chaos.
See Below
KISH
First to establish the kingship after the
flood according to the Sumerian king list. East of Babylon,
connected to it by canal. Cult center of
Ishtar
(temple E-hursag-kalama) and Zababa (temple E-mete-ursag). A
Babylonian city. See
Etana.
KISHAR
"Whole earth" Sumerian god of old generation,
paired with Anshar.
She is the offspring of
Tiamat and
Apsu
and the mother of Anu.
KOSMOS Pythagoreanism
Speculation on number and proportion led to an
intuitive feeling of the harmonia
("fitting together") of the kosmos
("the beautiful order of things"); and the application of the
tetraktys to the theory of music (see below Music) revealed a hidden
order in the range of sound. Pythagoras may have referred, vaguely,
to the "music of the heavens," which he alone seemed able to hear;
and later Pythagoreans seem to have assumed that the distances of
the heavenly bodies from the Earth somehow correspond to musical
intervals--a theory that, under the influence of Platonic
conceptions, resulted in the famous idea of the "harmony of the
spheres." Though number to the early Pythagoreans was still a kind
of cosmic matter, like the water or air proposed by the Ionians,
their stress upon numerical proportions, harmony, and order
comprised a decisive step toward a metaphysic in which form is the
basic reality. See
Apopis. Chaldean is a synonym in
the Bible for soothsayers or enchanters who always used music to
deceive people. Judas, for instance, carried the
Glosokomon
or the bag for carrying the mouthpieces of wind instruments. It is
made up of "speaking in tongues" and "of the Kosmos."
KOTHAR
Also called
KHASIS, OR KHAYIN, ancient
West Semitic god of crafts,
equivalent of the Greek god Hephaestus. Kothar was responsible for
supplying the gods with weapons and for building and furnishing
their palaces. During the earlier part of the 2nd millennium BC,
Kothar's forge was believed to be on the biblical Caphtor (probably
Crete), though later, during the period of Egyptian domination of
Syria and Palestine, he was identified with the Egyptian god Ptah,
patron of craftsmen, and his forge was thus located at Memphis in
Egypt. According to Phoenician tradition, Kothar was also the patron
of magic
and inventor of magical incantations;
in addition, he was believed to have been the first poet. SEE
Aqhat
Epic.
KUR
The Underworld. (See
Asag).
Kur is the name of the area which either was
contained by or contained the Abzu.
Enki also
struggled with Kur as mentioned in the opening to "Gilgamesh,
Enkidu, and the Underworld" and
presumably was victorious and thereby able to claim the title "Lord
of Kur" (the realm). Kramer suggests that Kur was a
dragon-like creature, calling to mind Tiamat and
Leviathan.
The texts suggests that Enki's struggle may have been with
instruments of the land of kur - its stones or its creatures hurling
stones. (See also Apsu
and Tiamat.)
LAGASH
The city was founded in the prehistoric Ubaid
Period (c. 5200-c. 3500 BC) and was still occupied as late as the
Parthian era (247 BC-ad 224). In the Early Dynastic Period the
rulers of Lagash called themselves "king" (lugal),
though the city itself never was included within the official
Sumerian canon of kingship. Among the most famous Lagash monuments
of that period is the Stele of the Vultures, erected to celebrate
the victory of King Eannatum
over the neighbouring state of Umma.
Another is the engraved silver vase of
King Entemena, a successor of
Eannatum. Control of Lagash finally fell to Sargon of Akkad (reigned
c. 2334-2279 BC), but about 150 years later Lagash enjoyed a
revival.
It prospered most brilliantly under Gudea, who
was probably a governor rather than an independent king and was
nominally subject to the Guti, a
warlike people who controlled much
of Babylonia
from about 2230 to about 2130.
Lagash was
endowed with many temples, including the Eninnu, "House of
the Fifty," a seat of the high god
Enlil. Architecturally the most
remarkable structure was a weir and regulator, once doubtless
possessing sluice gates, which conserved the area's water supply in
reservoirs.
LAHMU
AND LAHAMU
in Mesopotamian mythology, twin deities, the
first gods to be born from the chaos that was created by the merging
of Apsu
(the watery deep beneath the earth) and
Tiamat
(the personification of the salt waters); this is described in the
Babylonian mythological text
Enuma elish (c.
12th century BC). Mummu is the womb for this "evolution of the
gods."
Usually, Lahmu and Lahamu represent silt, but in some
texts they seem to take the form of
serpents, and, because the wavy line
of a gliding snake
is similar to the ripple of water, some scholars believe that Lahmu and Lahamu may have
been only synonyms of Tiamat. Lahmu and Lahamu were rather vague
deities who do not seem to have played any significant part in
subsequent myths, although they may have been the parents of
Anshar
and Kishar.
LAMU:
He and his wife Lahamu are said to be the silt created by the
junction of the primeval Waters, the rivers and sea. They are the
Children of Apsu and Tiamat. (see Lahamu).
LAHAMU:
Wife/sister of Lamu.
LAMASHTU
Demoness
who steals babies from their mothers. A source for much of the
Hebrew
Lilith.
(Akkadian), Sumerian
Dimme, in Mesopotamian
religion, the most terrible of all female demons,
daughter of the sky god Anu
(Sumerian:
An).
A wicked female who slew children, drank the blood of men, and ate
their flesh, she had seven names and was often described in incantations as the "seven
witches." Lamashtu
accomplished a variety of evil deeds: she disturbed sleep and
brought nightmares; she killed foliage and infested rivers and
streams; she bound the muscles of men, caused pregnant women to
miscarry, and brought disease and sickness. Lamashtu was often
portrayed on amulets as a lion- or bird-headed female
figure kneeling on an ass; she held a double-headed serpent
in each hand and suckled a dog at her right breast and a pig or
another dog at her left breast.
LARSA
One of the ancient capital cities of
Babylonia, located about 20 miles (32 km) southeast of
Uruk
(Erech; Arabic Tall al-Warka'), in southern Iraq. Larsa was probably
founded in prehistoric times, but the most prosperous period of the
city coincided with an independent dynasty inaugurated by a king
named Naplanum (c. 2025-c. 2005 BC).
LEVIATHAN
liweyathan (Hebrew)
Hebrew LIVYATAN, in Jewish mythology, a
primordial sea serpent.
Its source is in prebiblical Mesopotamian myth, especially that of
the sea monster in the Ugaritic myth of Baal (see Yamm). In the
Old Testament, Leviathan appears in Psalms 74:14 as a multiheaded
sea serpent that is killed by God and given as food to the Hebrews
in the wilderness. In Isaiah 27:1, Leviathan is a serpent and a
symbol of Israel's enemies, who will be slain by God. In Job 41, it
is a sea monster and a symbol of God's power of creation.
Foldings, turnings, windings, hence whatever
is infolded or wound. Mystically time as the great serpent of cyclic
or circling time, likewise space and the various phenomena that
happen in space such as the turnings and windings of forces as
manifested by electricity in lightning or thunderbolt. Ancient
Hebrew Biblical esotericism made of Leviathan a great sea monster,
with particular reference to the waters
of space. In its exalted sense it
means the cycling and everlasting motion of divinity in duration and
in abstract space; its concrete or lowest aspect signifies the
apparently unregulated, winding, turbulent forces of the material
worlds -- also inimical forces which seem antagonistic to the
spiritual and intellectual balance of him who strives upwards. One
significance was that of a great serpent or crocodile -- it is
sometimes compared to the Hindu Makara; another is "Deity in its
double manifestation of good and evil" (Theosophy)
LILITH
(Hebrew)
Isaiah 34:16b
Female demon of Jewish folklore; her name and
personality are derived from the class of Mesopotamian demons called
lilű (feminine: lilitu, from layil
night ). In rabbinic literature Lilith is variously depicted as the
mother of Adam's demonic offspring following his separation from Eve
or as his first wife, who left him because of their incompatibility.
Three angels tried in vain to force her return; the evil she
threatened, especially against children, was said to be counteracted
by the wearing of an amulet bearing the names of the angels. A cult
associated with Lilith survived among some Jews as late as the 7th
century AD. ( In Isaiah 14:12 Heylel
(h1966) hay-lale'; from 1984 (in the sense of brightness); the
morning-star: - lucifer.)
Represented by the king of Babylon and of Tyre called "the
harp-playing" prostitute who used musical priestesses to seduce
travelers out of their wealth.
Babylo-Assyrian
Lilit or
Lilu. In Rabbinical writings Lilith is the
first consort or wife of the mindless
Adam, and it was from the snares of
Eve-Lilith that the second Eve, the woman, become his savior.
"The numberless traditions about Satyrs are no
fables, but represent an extinct race of animal men. The animal
'Eves' were their foremothers, and the human 'Adams' their
forefathers; hence the Kabalistic allegory of Lilith or Lilatu,
Adam's first wife, whom the Talmud describes as a charming woman,
with long wavy hair, i.e., -- a female
hairy
animal of a character now unknown,
still a female animal, who in the Kabalistic and Talmudic allegories
is called the female reflection of
Samael, Samael-Lilith, or man-animal
united, a being called Hayoh Bishah, the Beast or Evil Beast.
(Zohar, ii, 255, 259). It is from this unnatural union that the
present apes descended" (Theosophy
view)
LUCIFER
(Latin)
Light-bringer [Hebrew heylel, from halal) the
planet Venus, the morning star.
Lucifer is light bringer to earth, not only physically as the
brightest of the planets, but in a mystical sense also. In mysticism
he is the chief of those minor powers or logoi who are said to rebel
against high heaven and to be cast down to the bottomless pit -- the
so-called war in heaven and the fall of the angels.
LUGALBANDA
(Mesop. hero)
Lugal-gabajal
Father of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, son of
Emerkar, deified hero of several Sumerian stories. Consort of the
goddess Ninsun,
native of Kullab. Ancestor of
Gilgamesh.
Dumuzi (not Dumuzi the
shepherd) was a human offspring as The Wild Bull. His mother was
Ninsum the "Lady Wild Cow." Her husband was Lugalbanda.
MARDUK
The son of
Ea and
Damkina
and in Mesopotamian religion, the chief god of the city of Babylon
and the national god of Babylonia;
as such he was eventually called simply Bel, or Lord.
Originally he seems to have been a god of thunderstorms. A poem,
known as Enuma elish
and dating from the reign of Nebuchadrezzar I (1124-03 BC), relates
Marduk's rise to such preeminence that he was the god of 50 names,
each one that of a deity or of a divine attribute. After conquering
the monster of primeval chaos,
Tiamat, he
became "lord of the gods of heaven and earth." All nature, including
man, owed its existence to him; the destiny of kingdoms and subjects
was in his hands.
Marduk's chief temples at Babylon were the
Esagila
and the
Etemenanki, a ziggurat with a
shrine of Marduk on the top. In Esagila
the poem Enuma elish
was recited every year at the New Year festival. The goddess named
most often as the consort of Marduk was Zarpanit, or
Zarbanit (She of the City Zarpan). (See
Akitu.)
MARTU
Of the kings after Shar-kali-sharri (c.
2217-c. 2193), only the names and a few brief inscriptions have
survived. Quarrels arose over the succession, and the dynasty went
under, although modern scholars know as little about the individual
stages of this decline as about the rise of
Akkad.
Two factors contributed to its downfall: the invasion of the nomadic
Amurrus (Amorites), called
Martu by the
Sumerians,
from the northwest, and the infiltration
of the Gutians,
who came, apparently, from the region between the Tigris and the
Zagros Mountains to the east
MASHU,
Mount
See First Adam and Eve for a description of
the
Supernatural Mountain and
Second Adam and Eve
ME
Remember that when Jacob
tricked Esau out of his father's blessing Esau had no tribal
authority as first born. The recitation of the words by his father
gave power
which we cannot understand. In a similar way, in Sumer, the ME
were words, incantantations or skills such as music or perverted sex
required to pass on the "spirit of" arts and sciences to keep
civilization going. All of these ME
were collected in
Ekur
but then given to
Enki
to protect and hand out as "gifts of the spirit."
Eridu,
where he was worshipped, was to be the central sanctuary of these
gifts. However,
Inanna
complained and got Enki drunk and gained 94 of the Me
and removes them to her center at Erich.
When Enki sobered up he tried to recover them.
MESLAMTAEA
One of the three underwold gods. These are not
part of the Seven Dreaded
Anunnaki, as
they are children of Enlil and Ninlil. (See Ninazu). In Mesopotamian
religion, city god of Cuthah
in Akkad. His temple in Cuthah was called Emeslam, or Meslam
("Luxuriant Mesu Tree").
His name, which means "He Who Issues from Meslam," perhaps indicates
that he was originally a tree god,
which would agree with his general chthonian, or underworld,
character. He was the son of
Enlil (Akkadian:
Bel),
god of the atmosphere, and of Ninlil (Belit), goddess of grain, and
he appears in hymns as a warrior similar to the war god
Ninurta.
Meslamtaea's weapons, however, sometimes seem to be turned against his own people and their herds,
when he kills them in great plagues. He seems to have been closely
related to or identical with the god
Nergal, and, as
such, he was ruler of the netherworld and the spouse of its
queen, Ereshkigal;
this position, however, may not have been original with the god. The
Assyrians are treated as fir trees in the garden of Eden whose head
reached into the sky.
MESOPOTAMIAN CULT
In the cultic practices, humans fulfilled
their destiny: to take care of the
gods' material needs. They therefore
provided the gods with houses (the temples) that were richly
supplied with lands, which people cultivated for them. In the temple
the god was present in--but not bounded by--a statue made of
precious wood overlaid with gold. For this statue the temple kitchen
staff prepared daily meals from produce grown or raised on the
temple's fields, in its orchards, in its sheepfolds, cattle pens,
and game preserves, brought in by its fishermen, or delivered by
farmers owing it as a temple tax. The statue was also clad in costly raiment,
bathed, and escorted to bed
in the bedchamber of the god, often on top of the temple tower, or
ziggurat.
To see to all of this the god had priests trained as cooks, bakers,
waiters, and bathers, or as
encomiasts (singers
of praise) and musicians to make
the god's meals festive,
or as elegists
to soothe
him in times of stress and grief. Diversions from the daily routine
were the great monthly festivals and also a number of special
occasions.
See the story of David and Saul
Such special occasions might be a sudden need
to go through the elaborate ritual for
purifying the king when he was threatened by the evils
implied in an eclipse of the Moon, or in extreme cases there might
be a call for the ritual installation of a substitute king to take
upon himself the dangers threatening, and various other nonperiodic
rituals. When Israel demanded to live like the nations David's
counting of the warriors with the goal of enslaving them in a
peace-time army, he had to perform similar rituals to purify the
temple. When the temple became totally polluted with Assyrian idols and
worship Hezekiah had to purify them with animal sacrifices and
musical instruments. As usual, this was not a ritual for the common
citizens.
Partly regular, partly impromptu, were the
occasions for audiences
with the god in which the king or other worshipers presented their
petitions and prayers accompanied by appropriate offerings. These
were mostly edibles, but not infrequently the costly containers in
which they were presented, stone vases, golden boat-shaped vessels,
etc., testified to the ardour of the givers. Appropriate gifts other
than edibles were also acceptable--among them cylinder seals for the
god's use, superhuman in size, and weapons for him, such as
maceheads, also outsize.
MOABITE-STONE
King Omri of Israel (reigned c. 884-c. 872
BC), who is mentioned in 1 Kings 16:23-28, reconquered Moabite lands
that had been lost since Solomon's death in 922 BC, when Israel
split into two kingdoms. Omri's reconquest is known from the Moabite
Stone, a stela that the Moabite king Mesha erected about 40 years
later in the city of Dibon (modern Dhiban, Jordan).
MUMMU
-Tiamat
The Sumerian goddess of the
primeval ocean also called the deep
and the consort of
APSU.
Mummu
means "mold" or "womb."
APSU needs a vizier named
MUMMU as an aid in
carrying out his forming (creating) commands. Thus
TIAMAT
represents or is the personification of the deep without the molding
life-giving abilities. MUMMU-TIAMAT seems to be the equivalent of
the Canaanite
ASHERAH.
MUSARUS See
Oannes
MUSHUSSU
(Offsite
Mushussu) The Snake Dragon
"Red/furious
snake" A dragon or monster made of many animals. Symbol of Marduk.
Previously read "sirrus." "Mushussu has been in the mountain for
over two millennia, and perhaps longer. Why he came here is unknown.
What is known is that he seeks to free someone from the 'heart' of
the volcano. Mushussu has never shown the capacity for speaking
Greek or any other language known to the characters, instead speaking an alien language
quite outside the character's experience (ancient Babylonian)."
MUSIC
From Greek
mousike (techne) the art of the Muses]
The music of the Greeks did not signify merely the harmony of
sounds, but actually imbodied the idea of inner harmony of the
spirit,
the becoming at one with
the spirit of the Muses, so that the
soul responded in harmonic rhythm to the beat of universal harmony.
Music with the Greeks, therefore, included, besides vocal and
instrumental music, choral dancing,
rhythmic motions, and various modes of harmony expressed in action.
Music, in all
its various branches is represented as having been taught to man by
his divine
and divine-human
ancestors, such as Isis-Osiris,
Thoth, Edris (in the Koran), etc. It is one of the elements of the
power known as mantrikasakti.
Music was represented as one of four divisions of mathematics, the
others being arithmetic, astronomy, and geometry. The music of sound
arouses in us a power which needs to be
controlled, as it can carry us to
heights from which we may fall.
If regarded as a sensual indulgence, even though a refined one, its
true import is not realized.
MUSIC OF THE SPHERES
Plato declared that rhythmic and melodic
complexities were to be avoided because they led to depression and
disorder. Music echoes divine harmony; rhythm and melody imitate the
movements of heavenly bodies, thus delineating the music of the
spheres and reflecting the moral order of the universe. Earthly
music, however, is suspect; Plato distrusted its emotional power
An extremely archaic teaching repeated by
Pythagoras, who travelled in Babylonia,
and therefore in the West commonly associated with his doctrine, for
he taught that the world had been
called forth out of Chaos by sound or harmony,
and that the universe is constructed on harmonic proportions. He
further taught that the planets were arranged in relation to each
other and to the Sun in the progression of a musical scale
NABU
Hebrew NEBO,
major god in the Assyro-Babylonian pantheon. He was patron of the
art of writing and a god of vegetation. Nabu's symbols were the clay
tablet and the stylus, the instruments held to be proper to him who
inscribed the fates assigned to men by the gods. In the Old
Testament, the worship of Nebo is denounced by Isaiah (46:1).
Samsuditana, the last king of the 1st dynasty
of Babylon (reigned 1625-1595 BC), introduced a statue of Nabu into
Esagila, the temple of
Marduk, who was
the city god of Babylon. Not until the 1st millennium BC, however,
did the relationship between Marduk and Nabu and their relative
positions in theology and popular devotion become clear. Marduk, the
father of Nabu,
took precedence over him, at least theoretically, in Babylonia. But
in popular devotion it was Nabu, the son, who knows all and sees
all, who was chief, especially during the centuries immediately
preceding the fall of Babylon. He had a chapel named Ezida in his
father's temple Esagila,
where at the New Year feast he was installed alongside Marduk. In
his own holy city, Borsippa,
he was supreme.
Goddesses associated with Nabu were Nana, a Sumerian
deity; the Assyrian Nissaba;
and the Akkadian Tashmetum,
queen of Borsippa, stepdaughter of Marduk, and, as her abstract
Akkadian name indicates, Lady of Hearing and of Favour. She was
rarely invoked apart from her husband, Nabu, whose name means
"speaking." Thus, while Nabu speaks, Nana listens.
NAMMU
Water was so close that the
early Babylonians believed that the earth floated on water. In a
process of evolution, Nammu split the earth from the heavens. The
sky was active and destructive and was called
An,
the sky god. All life evolves out of the earth and brings forth
mountains or Ki.
An
and Ki
in turn produced Enlil
or atmosphere the noisy "child" in between. Enlil broke the sky and
rain fell.
Nammu's sign was usually
written with the sign "en-gur;" the same sign used to denote the
abzu:
the underground sweet waters which brought life to the land. It was
from her ancient waters that Enlil
was said, in some traditions, to have been brought forth. She was
also said to be the mother of Enki
(Ea) (as well as the mother of the 'Great Gods' in general).
NAM-SHUB
NAMTAR
(Namtara)
When men grew two numerous and
too noisy, at first Enlil had Namtar, the god of death, cause a
plague to diminish mankind's numbers, but the wise Atrahasis,
at the advice of Enki, had man concentrate all worship and offerings
on Namtar. Namtar, embarrassed at hurting people who showed such
love and affection for him, stayed his hand.
Namtar was the "decider of
fate" vizier(CHIEF MINISTER) of Ereshkigal,
demon
god of the underworld. God of the plague and other disease and fear,
in the land of the dead. She could set loose 60 diseases
NANNAR.
The Sumerian moon-god
of the city of Ur. Also called Sin
(Babylonia) and the
son of
Ninlil.
The moon travels through the sky in a boat.
NANNA-SIN Nanna-Suen
(Sumerian) The god of the
moon,
and the father of
Utu
and
Inanna. Nanna:
is another name for the moon god Sin,
and was located at Ur.
He is the product of Enlil's rape of Ninlil.
Nanna was the tutelary deity of Ur,
appointed as king of that city by An and Enlil. He established
Ur-Nammu as his mortal representative, establishing the third Ur
dynasty. Nanna was married to Ningal
and they produced Inanna and Utu. He rests in the Underworld every
month, and there decrees the fate of the dead. He averts a flood of
his city by visiting
Enlil
in
Nippur on a boat
loaded with gifts and pleading with him. He refuses to send aid to
Inanna when she is trapped in the underworld.
A third myth built over the
motif of journeying to the netherworld
is the myth of "The
Engendering of the Moongod and his Brothers,"
which tells how Enlil
(Lord Wind),
when still a youngster, came upon young Ninlil (goddess of grain) as
she--eager to be with child and disobeying her mother--was bathing
in a canal where he would see her. He lay with her in spite of her
pretending to protest and thus engendered the moon god Suen.
For this offense Enlil was banished from Nippur and took the road to
the netherworld. Ninlil, carrying his child, followed him. On the
way Enlil took the shape first of the Nippur gatekeeper, then of the
man of the river of the netherworld, and lastly of the ferryman of
the river of the netherworld. In each such disguise Enlil persuaded
Ninlil to let him lie with her to engender a son who might take
Suen's place in the netherworld and leave him free for the world
above. Thus three further deities, all underworld figures, were
engendered: Meslamtaea (He Who Comes Out of the Meslam Temple),
Ninazu (Water Sprinkler [?]), and Ennugi (the God Who Returns Not).
The myth ends with a paean to Enlil as a source of abundance and to
his divine word, which always comes true.
Nanna-Suen's journey to
Nibru
NANSHE
Also spelled NANSE, OR NAZI,
in Mesopotamian religion, Sumerian city goddess of Nina (modern
Surghul, Iraq) in the southeastern part of the Lagash region of
Mesopotamia. According to tradition, Nanshe's father Enki
(Akkadian: Ea) organized the universe and placed her in charge of
fish and fishing. Nanshe was also described as a divine soothsayer
and dream interpreter. Although at times overshadowed by her sister
Inanna (Akkadian: Ishtar), Nanshe was, nevertheless, important in
her own geographic area, and many rulers of Lagash record that they
were chosen by her.
NERGAL
(arrow shooting god of II
Kings 17:30), fire-god, identified with Mars or fire-star. a
Babylonian god and king of the Underworld "Lord
of the great dwelling."
When ejected from heaven he invaded the underworld with fourteen demons.
His wife was
Ereshkigal
(possibly Gulu).
During the great flood
he tore away the mast of the ship in which
Utanapishtim (the
Babylonian Noah)
escaped and was saved along with his family and specimens of all
manner of animals.
Nergal is also the god of plague with Namtar
(evil god, negative
aspect of fate, disease bringer),
his symbols are a sword and a lion's head. From the contract tablets
found by Rassam at
Tel-Ibrahim it appears
that the ancient name of Cuthah was Gudua
or Kuta.
Itís ruins were 3,000 feet in circumference and 280 feet high. In it
was a sanctuary
dedicated to Ibrahim
(Abraham). Both the
city and its great temple, the later dedicated to Nergal,
appear to date back to
Sumerian times. Nergal
(Heb. nereghal,
a Babylonian deity of destruction and disaster, associated with the
planet Mars
(god of war and agriculture)
Also pronounced Erakal,
"Lord of Erkalla (the great city)" Chief god of the Underworld,
consort of Ereshkigal (and of Mammetum; see Ninhursag).
NIMROD
(Hebrew) The traditional
founder of the kingdom of Babylon,
known in Babylonia as Izdubar or Gilgamesh.
According to the Bible, the son of Cush; in legend a mighty hunter
(Genesis 10:9). The name Nimrod has not been found prior to the
period of the Israelites (500 BC).
The only other references to
Nimrod in the Old Testament are Mic. 5:6, where Assyria is called
the land of Nimrod, and I Chron. 1:10. The beginning of his kingdom
is said in Genesis to be Babel, Erech, and Akkad in the land of
Shinar. Nimrod is said to have built Nineveh, Calah (modern Nimrud),
Rehoboth-Ir, and Resen.
NIBRU
NINAZU
God of Eshnunna. Temple called
E-sikil and E-kurmah. Son of Ereshkigal,
father of
Ningishzida.
Replaced by Tishpak as patron of Eshnunna. Babylonian god of magic
incantations.
Sumerian deity, the city god
of Enegir,
which was located on the Euphrates River between Larsa
and Ur
in the southern orchard region. Ninazu was also the city god of
Eshnunna
(modern Tall al-Asmar in eastern Iraq). Ninazu, whose name means
"water knower," was primarily an underworld
deity, although the
exact nature of his character or functions is not clear. In Enegir
he was considered the son of Ereshkigal,
goddess of the netherworld; according to another tradition, however,
he was the son of Enlil
(Akkadian Bel) and
Ninlil
(Belit). His spouse was Ningirda, a daughter of Enki (Ea).
NINGAL
Consort of Nanna Sin. She was the mother of
Shamash.
The third "song" relates that
the goddess Ningal hears the pleas of the people of Ur, but she is
not able to dissuade the gods Anu
and
Enlil from their
decision to destroy the city, and the remaining "songs" relate the
devastating results of Ur's defeat in battle. The last stanza ends
with a plea to
Nanna,
the husband of Ningal, that the city may once more rise up and that
the people of Ur may again present their offerings to him.
NINGIRSU
(Sumerian), also called
NININSINA, Akkadian Gula, or Ninkarrak, in Mesopotamian religion,
city goddess of Urukug in the Lagash region and, under the name
Nininsina, the Queen of Isin, city goddess of Isin, south of Nippur.
Bau
seems originally to have been goddess of the dog;
as Nininsina she was long represented with a dog's head, and the dog
was her emblem. Perhaps because the licking of sores by dogs was
supposed to have curative value, she became a goddess of healing.
She was a daughter of An, king of the gods, and the wife of
Pabilsag, a rain god who was also called Ninurta,
or Ningirsu.
NINGISHZIDA
)
Sumerian deity, city god of
Gishbanda,
near Ur
in the southern orchard region. Although Ningishzida
was a power of the netherworld, where he held the office of throne
bearer, he seems to have originally been a tree god, for his name
apparently means "Lord Productive Tree." In particular, he probably
was god of the winding
tree roots, since he
originally was represented in serpent
shape. When pictured in human form, two serpent heads grow from his
shoulders in addition to the human head, and he rides on a dragon.
He was a son of Ninazu
and Ningirda
and was the husband of Ninazimua ("Lady Flawlessly Grown
Branch").Along with Tammuz, a guard of the gate to Heaven.
NINHAR
Also NINGUBLA,
in Mesopotamian religion, Sumerian deity, city god of Kiabrig,
near Ur in the southern herding region. Ninhar was god of the
thunder and rainstorms
that made the desert green with pasturage in the spring; as such he
was represented in the form of a roaring bull. He was the son of
Nanna (Akkadian Sin) and
Ningal and the husband of Ninigara ("Lady
of Butter and Cream"), goddess of the dairy.
NINHURSAG
See Ki.
Also spelled NINHURSAGA
(Sumerian), Akkadian
Belit-ili,
in Mesopotamian religion, city goddess of Adab and of Kish in the
northern herding regions; she was the goddess of the stony, rocky
ground, the hursag. In particular, she had the power in the
foothills and desert to produce wildlife. Especially prominent among
her offspring were the onagers (wild asses) of the western desert.
As the sorrowing mother animal she appears in a lament for her son,
a young colt, but as goddess of birth she is not only the goddess of
animal birth but the Mother of All Children, a mother-goddess
figure. Her other names include: Dingirmakh ("Exalted Deity"),
Ninmakh ("Exalted Lady"), Aruru
("Dropper," i.e., the one who "loosens" the scion in birth), and
Nintur ("Lady Birth Giver"). Her husband is the god Shulpae,
and among their children were the sons Mululil
and Ashshirgi
and the daughter Egime.
Mululil seems to have been a dying god, like Dumuzi,
whose death was
lamented in yearly
rites.
(Mammu, Aruru):"Mountain-lady"
also known as Ninmah "supreme lady" Nintu "birth lady?" Mamma,
Mammi, Mammitum "Mommy", Belet-Ili "mistress of the gods" Aruru
(meaning unknown) Epithets: sassuru, "womb-goddess"; tabsut ili "
midwife of the gods"; qurqurrat ili "smelter of the gods" "mother of
the gods" and "mother of all children" Spouse of Shulpae and then of
Nergal. Shrine at Kesh in central Mesopotamia, still not identified.
A goddess in Sumerian and Mesopotamian mythology, the earth-mother.
She was the wife of the water-god Enki.
Also known as Ninmah,
she was given the title Ninhursag
- "Lady of the Hursag (The stoney foothills)" by her son Ninurta
in the myth Lugal-e.
She was an ancient Sumerian form of the mother-goddess, known as
'mother of the gods,' and 'mother of all children.' It was
Ninhursag who was said to have
been midwife to
Nammu
at the creation of man. She represents the innert procreative power
of the mother which, though powerful, requires the union of the male
force to be brought to its full potential. This was not to diminish
her role, but simply a recognition that neither the female nor the
male alone was a fully procreative force. Her major cult center was
probably at Kish.
NINIB
(Babylonian) A Chaldean deity
originally with solar
attributes, especially prominent at Shirgulla, where he was closely
associated with
Bel
and regarded as his son. In hymns he is described as a healing god
who releases men from illness. But he was also classed as a god of
war, and represented as armed for the chase. The aspect stressed was
the sun at the morning and the springtime season, showering
beneficence upon mankind. In theogony, Ninib
was regent of the
planet Saturn, and the
animal symbol connected with him was the swine.
NINKASA Beer
NINLIL
(Akkadian Belit) Enlil's
wife. This Goddess followed Enlil
to the underworld after he had been banished there by the Anunnaki
for raping her. At this point she was pregnant with Nanna
(from the rape). In the underworld she gave birth to the Three
Underworld Deities and gave birth to Nanna after she made it back
out.
The Sumerian
goddess of sailors. She was seduced by the sky-god Enlil, who was
condemned by the gods for this sin to live in Hades. However, Ninlil
loved him and insisted on following him to the underworld. The gods
decided that she had to postpone her departure until she had given
birth because her child must not be born under the earth, as it was
to be Nanna the moon-god. When Nanna was born and rose into the sky,
Ninlil descended to join her husband and had three more children by
him. Ninlil is sometimes identified with the goddess Ishtar,
(Babylonian Mullitu, Mylitta)
NINMAH SEE
NINHURSAG
NINSUN
Sumerian city goddess of
Kullab in the southern herding region. As Ninsun's name, "Lady Wild
Cow," indicates, she was originally represented in cow form and was
considered the divine power behind, as well as the embodiment of,
all the qualities the herdsman wished for in his cows: she was the
"flawless cow" and a "mother of good offspring that loves the
offspring." She was, however, also represented in human form and
could give birth to human offspring. She is also goddess of the city
of Uruk,
mother of
Gilgamesh.
The Wild Bull
Dumuzi (as
distinct from Dumuzi the Shepherd) was traditionally her son, whom
she lamented in the yearly ritual marking his death. In her role as
a mother figure, her other Sumerian counterparts include
Ninhursag
(Akkadian: Belit-ili) and
Ninlil
(Belit). Ninsun's husband was the legendary hero
Lugalbanda.
NINURTA
Ninurta
was the son
of
Enlil (Akkadian:
Bel)
and Ninlil (Belit)
and was married to
Bau,
in Nippur
called Ninnibru,
Queen of Nippur. A major festival of his, the Gudsisu Festival,
marked in Nippur the beginning of the plowing season.
Hero of the Gods. God of the
Stormy South Winds. Possible pre-cursur to Marduk.
This god owned a weapon that was alive.
This weapon, Sharur,
for some reason, convenced Nunurta to destroy
Asag.
This he did. However, once Asag was gone, the Waters rose up and
engulfed the Earth. Nothing could grow. So, Nunurta built a stone
wall over Asag's
body that stopped and held back the Waters. Then he took the Waters
that had already engulfed the land and dumped them into the
Euphrates. This caused the overflow of the Euphrates, and the land
became abundant
Also called Ningirsu,
in Mesopotamian religion, city god of Girsu (Tal'ah, or Telloh) in
the
Lagash region.
Ninurta was the farmer's version of the god of the thunder and
rainstorms of the spring. He was also the power in the floods of
spring and was god of the plow and of plowing. Ninurta's earliest
name was Imdugud
(now also read as
Anzu),
which means "rain cloud," and his earliest form was that of the
thundercloud envisaged as an enormous black bird floating on
outstretched wings roaring its thunder cry from a lion's head. With
the growing tendency toward anthropomorphism, the old form and name
were gradually disassociated from the god as merely his emblems;
enmity toward the older inacceptable shape eventually made it evil,
an ancient enemy of the god.
Ninurta
(Nergal, Orion)
in the Epic of Gilgamesh helps to flood the
earth by throwing down the dykes and breaking dams. Here Gula helped
breathe life into mankind. Ninurta
and Gulu's wedding
feast was celebrated on New Year's day. The goddess
Gulu,
(the earth-goddess,
mother goddess; also Ninmah, goddess of the underworld)
sits below ground with her dog, where the cosmic serpent
begins to rise. She is the patroness of herbs, healing, life, as her
flowered garment shows. Hands lifted in prayer, she sits with her
dog, defender of homes, while before her a Scorpion Archer
mounts guard at the uttermost bound of the earth (cosmic
sea), to defend
against demonic
powers and protect the rising and setting sun.
NINUS
In Greek mythology, king of
Assyria and the eponymous founder of the city of Nineveh, which
itself is sometimes called Ninus. He was said to have been the son
of Belos, or
Bel,
and to have conquered in 17 years all of western Asia with the help
of Ariaeus, king of Arabia. During the siege of Bactra he met
Semiramis,
the wife of one of his officers, Onnes; he then took her from Onnes
and married her. The fruit of the marriage was Ninyas--i.e., the
Ninevite.
NIPPUR
In Sumerian mythology Nippur
was the home of
Enlil,
the storm
god and representation of force and the god who carried out the
decrees of the assembly
of gods that met at
Nippur. Enlil, according to one account, created man at Nippur.
Although a king's armies might subjugate the country, the
transference to that king of Enlil's divine power to rule had to be
sought and sanctioned.
Ur-Nammu
(reigned 2112-2095 Bc), first king of the 3rd dynasty of Ur, laid
out Enlil's sanctuary, the
Ekur,
in its present form. A
ziggurat
and a temple were built in an open courtyard
surrounded by walls.
NUSKU
A fire
god invoked, with two others, against black magic. God of light
Mesopotamian religion, Sumero-Akkadian god of light and fire. His
father was
Sin
(Sumerian: Nanna), the
moon god. He figures
much in incantations
and rituals as the fire. He is
Ellil's
servant.
OANNES
Mesopotamian amphibious
being who taught
mankind wisdom.
Oannes, as described by the Babylonian priest Berosus,
had the form of a fish but with the head
of a man under his fish's head and under his fish's tail the feet of
a man. In the daytime he came up to the seashore of the Persian Gulf
and instructed mankind in writing, the arts, and the sciences.
Oannes was probably the emissary of Ea,
god of the freshwater deep and of wisdom.
Ea
or Hea
was the god of the sea and Wisdom, and the sea serpent was one of
his emblems, his
priests being
'serpents' or Initiates Oannes and the other Annedoti
are grouped with the ancient 'adepts'
or 'water dragons'
-- Nagas.
The Indian "Naga"
is similar to that of many ancient nations.

Berossus describes Oannes as
follows: "At Babylon there was (in these times) a great resort of
people of various nations, who inhabited Chaldaea, and lived in a
lawless manner like the
beasts of the field.
In the first year there appeared, from that part of the Erythraean
sea which borders upon Babylonia, and animal destitute of reason
[sic] by name Oannes.
His voice was articulate.
Apollodorus
referred to Oannes
and the Annedoti
as "Musarus."
The word "musarus" means "an
abomination" in Greek
just as "annedoti"
means "the repulsive
ones." The founders
were revered
as "repulsive
abominations."
PABILSAG
God of Larak,
a city of importance before the flood.
Bau
seems originally to have been goddess of the dog;
as Nininsina she was long represented with a dog's head, and the dog
was her emblem. Perhaps because the licking of sores by dogs was
supposed to have curative value, she became a goddess of healing.
She was a daughter of
An,
king of the gods, and the wife of Pabilsag,
a rain god who was also called Ninurta, or Ningirsu.
PAPSUKKEL
The chief minister of the
Sumerian gods of heaven, especially of
Ea, and
messenger of the gods.
PHILO
PUKKU AND MIKKU
After
Gilgamesh
made a dangerous journey (Tablets
IX and
X)
in search of Utnapishtim, the survivor of the Babylonian flood, in
order to learn from him how to escape death. He finally reached
Utnapishtim, who
told him the story of the flood and showed him where to find a plant
that would renew youth
(Tablet
XI).
But after Gilgamesh obtained the plant, it was seized by a serpent,
and Gilgamesh unhappily returned to
Uruk.
An appendage to the epic,
Tablet XII,
related the loss of objects called
pukku
and mikku (perhaps "drum"
and "drumstick")
given to Gilgamesh by Ishtar. The epic ends with the return of the
spirit of
Enkidu,
who promised to recover the objects and then gave a grim report on the underworld.
.
QINGU
or Kingu
A form of this motif is found
in
Enuma elish, in
which
Enki (Ea)
alone fashioned man out of the blood of the slain rebel leader
Kingu.
Qingu was
Tiamat's
chosen battle leader. Holder of the Tablet of Destinies. She gave
him the Tablets of Destiny, and set him as the leader of the
"demonic" army of ugly monsters she had created for the purpose of
attacking Ea
and the other younger gods to avenge the death of
Apsu.
After
Marduk won the
battle, he enslaved the rebel gods for a time, until he finally took
pity on their cries of
burden. The gods
readily handed
Kingu
over to Marduk. Kingu was slain, and his blood was used by Enki (Ea)
to make man as "a labor saving device."
RIMMON
"Earth-shaker," fierce,
severe, name of Adad.
See Hadad Above (Zechariah 12:11)
RESHEP
Syrian War-god,
with the head of a gazelle. (from Hebrew reshef, "the
burner," or "the
ravager"), ancient
West Semitic god of the plague and of the underworld, the companion
of Anath,
and the equivalent of the Babylonian god
Nergal.
He was also a war god and was thus represented as a bearded man,
brandishing an ax,
holding a shield, and wearing a tall, pointed headdress with a
goat's or gazelle's head on his forehead. He was usually believed to
be related to Mot
or a form of the god Baal.
SABBATH
SAMMU-RAMAT
Greek
SEMIRAMIS,
Assyrian queen who became a legendary heroine.
Sammu-ramat was the mother of
the Assyrian king
Adad-nirari III
(reigned 810-783 BC). Her stela (memorial stone shaft) has been
found at
Ashur,
while an inscription at Calah (Nimrud)
shows her to have been dominant there after the death of her
husband, Shamshi-Adad V (823-811 BC). She captivated the king
Ninus
by her beauty and valour and became his wife.
SARPANITUM:
Marduk's consort.
SARGON
23rd century BC byname SARGON
OF AKKAD (Agade),
ancient Mesopotamian ruler (reigned c. 2334-2279 BC), one of the
earliest of the world's
great empire builders.
SERPENT
The mythological predecessor
of the Serpent
is the Sumerian god
Enki,
"Lord Earth," the Babylonian Ea,
the god who rules the Earth and with it the lives of all creatures.
The ancient Semites associated the serpent with the Moon-god,
perhaps for its power to rejuvenate itself.
Circular motion, compounding
itself into spirals, helixes, and vortices, is the builder of
worlds, bringing together the
scattered elements of chaos;
motion per se is essential cosmic intelligence. This circular
motion, returning upon itself like a serpent
swallowing its tail, represents the cycles of time. This conscious energy in spirals
whirls through all the
planes of cosmos as fohat and his innumerable sons -- the cosmic
energies and forces, fundamentally intelligent, operating in every
scale or grade of
matter. The caduceus
of Hermes, twin
serpents wound about a staff,
represents cosmically the mighty drama of evolution,
in its twin aspects, the staff or tree standing for the
structural aspect, the
serpent
for the fohatic forces
that animate the structure. (vortex)
Hermes,
Mercury, intelligence, may represent a sage or a thief;
the serpentine wisdom.
The perverse
will of man may turn natural forces to evil purposes, and thus we
speak of the good serpent and the bad, of Agathodaemon and
Kakodaemon, of Ophis
and Ophiomorphos.
A serpent can be a sage or a sorcerer.
The dragon
is the eternally vigilant one, guardian of the sacred treasures; but
he is the ruthless destroyer of him who attempts to gain by force
the riches to which he has not won a title. To gain knowledge,
we must know how to
tame the serpent which
rules the nether worlds, as the Christ refuses to make obeisance to
Satan.

SHAMASH
(Akkadian), Sumerian (Utu)
Hebrew Shemesh,
in Mesopotamian religion, the god of the sun, who, with the moon
god, Sin
(Sumerian: Nanna), and
Ishtar
(Sumerian: Inanna), the goddess of Venus,
was part of an astral
triad of divinities.
Shamash was the son of
Sin
and
Ningal.

SHULGI
Shulgi, the son of
Ur-Nammu,
the founder of the Third Dynasty of Ur, is one of the more renowned
kings of Sumer, whose reign endured for almost half a century. He
was military commander, temple builder, patron of the arts and
athlete
Shulgi, too, called himself
king of the four quarters of the earth. Although he resided in Ur,
another important centre was in Nippur, whence--according to the
prevailing ideology--
Enlil,
the chief god in the Sumerian state pantheon, had bestowed on Shulgi
the royal dignity. Shulgi and his successors enjoyed divine honours,
as Naram-Sin of Akkad had before them; by now, however, the process
of deification had taken on clearer outlines in that sacrifices were
offered and chapels built to the king and his throne, while the
royal determinative turned up in personal names. Along with an
Utu-hegal ("The Sun God Is Exuberance") there appears a Shulgi-hegal
("Shulgi Is Exuberance"),
SHULPAE
Major Sumerian god with demonic and many
other powers. Consort of Ninhursag.
Identified with planet Jupiter. Husband of
Ninhursag,
and among their children were the sons
Mululil and Ashshirgi and the
daughter Egime. Mululil seems to have been a dying god, like
Dumuzi,
whose death was lamented in yearly rites.
SHURUPPAK
In Sumerian legend as the place of the flood,
which destroyed all humanity except one survivor,
Ziusudra.
He had been commanded by a protecting god to build an ark, in
which he rode out the disaster, afterward re-creating man and living
things upon the earth, and was himself endowed with eternal life.
Ziusudra
corresponds with
Utnapishtim
in the
Gilgamesh
epic and with the biblical Noah.
SIDURI
In the Gilgamesh epic,
the aging folk hero, haunted by the prospect of his own death, sets
off to visit
Utnapishtim, who, with
his wife alone became immortal. He meets Siduri,
the wine maiden,
who exhorts him to make the most of the present for "the life which
thou seekest thou wilt not find." There was no judgment after death
just appalling grimness, unrelieved by any hope of salvation through
human effort or divine compassion. The dead were, in fact, among the
most dreaded beings in early Mesopotamian demonology. In a myth
called "The Descent of
Ishtar to the
Underworld," the fertility goddess decides to visit kur-nu-gi-a
("the land of no return"), where the dead "live in darkness, eat
clay, and are clothed like birds with wings."
SIN
Moon God. Born of
Enlil
and Ninlil.
S=Nanna.
(Akkadian), Sumerian
Nanna [worshipped at
Ur], in Mesopotamian
religion, the god of the moon. Sin was the father of the sun god,
Shamash
(Sumerian: Utu),
and, in some myths, of
Ishtar
(Sumerian: Inanna),
goddess of Venus,
and with them formed an astral triad
of deities.
His consort,
Ningal, was a
reed goddess. Each spring, Nanna's worshipers reenacted his
mythological visit to his father, Enlil,
at
Nippur
with a ritual journey, carrying with them the first dairy products
of the year.
SINUHE
Middle Kingdom Egyptian official of the 12th
dynasty (1938-1756 BC) who fled Egypt to settle in Syria. His
biography yields information about political and social conditions
of the time.
Sinuhe was an official of the harem maintained
for Amenemhet
I by his queen. While on an expedition to Libya he learned of the
king's assassination (1908 BC) and fled, either from fright or
because of his complicity. He intended to travel southward but was
blown to the north while crossing the Nile, and he passed into
Palestine. After much wandering in Palestine and Lebanon, he was
invited to settle with a chieftain of
southern Syria, who adopted him and
married him to his eldest daughter. In that land Sinuhe raised a
family and became a veritable patriarch.
The pharaoh Sesostris I invited Sinuhe to return to
Egypt, and Sinuhe eagerly accepted. T

TAMMUZ ()
get bible ezekiel 8:14
Akkadian Dumuzi,
god of fertility embodying the powers for new life in nature in the
spring. The name Tammuz seems to have been derived from the Akkadian
form Tammuzi,
based on early Sumerian Damuzid,
The Flawless Young. The later standard Sumerian form, Dumu-zid, in
turn became Dumuzi in Akkadian. The earliest known mention of Tammuz
is in texts dating to the early part of the Early Dynastic III
period (c. 2600-c. 2334 BC), but his cult probably was much older.
His
father
Enki is rarely
mentioned, and his mother, the goddess
Duttur, was a personification of the
ewe.
The cult of Tammuz centred around two yearly festivals,
one celebrating his marriage to the goddess Inanna, the other
lamenting his death
at the hands of demons from the netherworld. During the 3rd dynasty
of Ur (c. 2112-c. 2004 BC) in the city of Umma (modern Tell Jokha),
the marriage of the god was dramatically celebrated in
February-March, Umma's Month of the Festival of Tammuz. During the
Isin-Larsa period (c. 2004-c. 1792 BC), the texts relate that in the
marriage rite the king actually took on
the identity of the god and thus, by
consummating
the marriage with a priestess
incarnating the goddess, magically fertilized
and fecundated all of nature for the year.
TAMMUZ
Tamaz (Dumuzi) [tä´muz]
The Jews took over the name of the deity and
in the Old Testament we find: "Behold
there sat women weeping for Tammuz"
(Ezek 8:14) -- in Hebrew tammuz. "The women of Israel held annual lamentations over Adonis
(that beautiful youth being identical with Tammuz).
The feast held in his honour was
solstitial, and began with the new
moon, in the month of Tammuz
(July), taking place chiefly at Byblos in Phoenicia; but it was
also celebrated as late as the fourth century of our era at
Bethlehem, . . . Indeed, in the Mysteries of Tammuz or
Adonis
a whole week was spent in lamentations and mourning. The
funereal processions were succeeded by a fast, and later by
rejoicings;
for after the fast Adoni-Tammuz was regarded as raised from the
dead, and
wild orgies of joy,
of eating and drinking, as now in
Easter week, went on
uninterruptedly for several days"
All the great ancient initiations comprised a
purification or preparation (katharsis)
(BM), a trance followed by
a dying, and a later resurrection of the initiant or neophyte as a
fully born initiate, adept, or new man.
THE
CULT
OF TAMMUZ
Centred around two yearly
festivals, one celebrating his marriage to the goddess
Inanna,
the other lamenting
his death at the hands of demons from the netherworld. During the
3rd dynasty of Ur (c. 2112-c. 2004 BC) in the city of Umma (modern
Tell Jokha), the marriage of the god was dramatically celebrated in
February-March, Umma's Month of the Festival of Tammuz.
Modern, musical rituals
to move the "worshippers into the presence of the gods" have their
bitter roots in ancient pagan rituals. For instance, when the king
was married he took on the identity of the god. When the marriage
was consumated with a priestesses who was a goddess-incarnate, the
entire kingdom was impregnated with fertility for the year.
This ritual was celebrated by
the women in the Jerusalem while the males held their early sun-rise ceremonies
bowing to the east. (Ezekiel 8)
TIAMAT
(also pronounced Tiwawat and Tamtu, probably
pronounced Tethys in Ionian Greek; also known as Ayabba chiefly in
West Semitic.):
"Sea", salt water personified
as a primeval goddess.
Mother of the first generation of gods in the Enuma. Spouse of Absu.
Epitomizes chaos. She is the mother of Lahmu, Lahamu,
Anshar,
and Kish.
This is the main goddess of the Primordial
Waters, the origonal holder of the
Tablets of Destiny, and she symbolised
the Salt waters of the Persian Gulf. She was defeated by Marduk. Note:
Tiamat, as a god-form, does still exist. She can be likened to the
Abyss
itself (like Asag of Summeria).
She is the universe's wish to return to
Chaos
Tismat (Chaldean) Chaldean
serpent,
slain by Bel,
the chief deity. The tale is repeated in the later Babylonian
account, with the exception that
Marduk or
Merodach
(producer of the world) replaces
Bel. The
mythologic serpent,
described as the imbodiment of evil both physical and moral, was
enormous (300 miles long), it moved in undulations 6 miles in
height. When Marduk finally slew Tiamat he split the monster
into two halves, using one as a covering of the heavens, so that
the upper waters would not come down. Tiamat is cognate with the
Babylonian tiamtu,
tamtu,
"the ocean," rendered Thalatth
by Berosus in his Chaldean cosmogony. There is here likewise the
reference to the waters of wisdom, the divine wisdom and the
lower wisdom of manifestation. Marduk then took
Qingu,
Tiamat's commander, spilled his blood and made mankind
TOBIT
TOWER OF BABEL
(babel,
gate of God),
In biblical literature, structure built in the
land of Shinar
(Babylonia) some time after the Deluge. The story of its
construction, given in Genesis 11:1-9, appears to be an attempt to
explain the existence of diverse human languages. According to
Genesis, the Babylonians wanted to make a name for themselves by
building a mighty city and a tower "with its top in the heavens."
God disrupted the work by so confusing the language of the workers
that they could no longer understand one another. The city was never
completed, and the people were dispersed over the face of the earth.
In Babylonianit was called Bab-ilu ("Gate of God"), Hebrew form
Babel, or Bavel. The similarity in pronunciation of Babel and balal
("to confuse") led to the play on words in Genesis 11:9: "Therefore
its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the
language of all the earth."
UMMANU
The Seven Sages,
who wrote the great epic poems such as those of Erra and Gilgamesh.
"Ammenon,
another of the forms into which
Enmenluanna was corrupted, is in
Akkadian ummanu, 'artificer,'
'artisan,'
which, when translated into Hebrew, becomes Kenan and in an
abbreviated form, Cain."
(George Barton). In the Apocalyptic literature Jubal, Jabal,
Tubal-Cain and Naamah are all summed up under the name Genun.
Pilikam,
[Sumerian "with intelligence to build."] In Babylonian Semitic it
would be
