When Ninagal saw launch of so many ships he saw the sign that Enki had told him would come
from the west, for the Anunnaki were now departing, so Ziuzudra hurriedly boarded the vessel
and sealed himself inside to await deluge, taking with him his family, those who had wished from
the start to sail with him to the Abzu, his navigator and what creatures he could gather to him.
Then came a massive deluge of ocean from the south that engulfed the globe
The ships of the Anunnaki escaped the flood and sat in orbit as they watched the devastation
from the heavens as the waters swept across the Earth. Ninmah wept openly at the destruction and
Enki also grieved greatly. And there they waited until the torrents subsided.
After the Deluge
Soon after the flood waters subsided the Anunnaki returned to Earth. When Enlil found that
there were humans who had survived the deluge and he learned of his brother Enki’s deception,
he was furious and wanted to kill the survivors on the spot but his brother and sister begged him
to see reason. They pleaded with Enlil, saying that the race of man had many admirable qualities
and should be given a chance to prove its worth and that soon he too would grow to love them.
Finally, after Enki had related to his brother the divine vision that had caused him to conceive
the plan for mankind’s salvation Enlil agreed to spare the survivors and allow them to live with
his blessing. Enlil himself granted man the use of seeds and farming implements while Enki
taught Ziusudra and his sons the domestication of animals. Thus for many years, mankind lived
and prospered in peace with the Anunnaki.
Though a great destruction had been wrought upon the earth, a wonder had also been revealed:
When the waters had subsided and Enki surveyed the Earth in his “Whirlwind”, described in the
texts as a “Black Sky-bird,” he found that the waters of the deluge had also uncovered vast
amounts of the urgently needed gold in a new land across the sea.. Vast quantities had been found
strewn all about as nuggets and much could be obtained without even the need for mining and so
settlements were soon established to collect the gold and ship it back to the Persian gulf for
transportation back to Nibiru.
Lahmu had also been finally devastated by the most recent passage of Nibiru and had now lost
what little atmosphere it did had and its remaining water had dissipated with what remained now
locked and frozen at its poles.
Enlil then divided the lands and allotted the descendents of Ziusudra three regions to control.
During this period Enlil’s son ‘Ninurta’ built mighty dams in the mountains and drained the
waters from Mesopotamia, making the whole area habitable again and Enki set about reclaiming
still more lands in the Nile Valley. The Anunnaki kept control of the Sinai Peninsula area and re-
established their former spaceport only this time they set up their control center on Mt. Moriah
(the site that was later to become Jerusalem) as the former sites all now lay beneath meters of
dried mud and soil. All but one: The massive stone blocks that had been used to construct the
landing platform at Sippar had withstood the waters and still remained and so the old platform
was also incorporated into the new facilities.
Enki had six sons. The most notable of these were one named ‘Marduk’ (the Egyptian God
‘Ra’,) one named ‘Nergal’, one named ‘Ningishzidda’ (the Egyptian God ‘Thoth’), and one
named ‘Dummuzi’. Marduk had earlier been in charge of the Igigi manning the way station on
Lahmu before the deluge and had taught Abael in the ways of animal husbandry.
Enki, himself a great scientist, taught much of his knowledge to all of his sons, but of them all,
the wisest and most adept by far was Ningishzidda.
For a time Lordship of the Nile region was given to Marduk who through various wives and
concubines, also had sons. Of them all, the three that mostly concern our tale were named Satu
(the Egyptian God ‘Seth’), Asar (the Egyptian God ‘Osiris’) and another son called Nabu.
While still retaining lordship, Marduk then divided control of the Egyptian territories between
his sons Satu and Asar.
