the new title of ‘Ninhursag” – ‘Peacemaker.’ Sometime during this time security of the new
spaceport facility at Sippar was allotted to the hero of the deluge, Ziusudra himself.
The period of peace continued for many years and during the time the Anunnaki granted
various technological advances to mankind. The Anunnaki ruled the earth fairly though still
retaining the status of “Demigods.’ But eventually man was granted kingship on Earth while
Enlil’s son Ninurta sat as ‘over-ruler’, the first urban civilization was established in Sumer (first
region) and the calendar was begun at Nippur in 3760 BC. The capital of the new civilization was
called ‘Kish’ and the Anunnaki also re-established their ‘Golden Cities’ at Eridu and Nippur.
Then about 100 years later, the great Anu arrived back on Earth for a celebratory pageant and a
new temple was built in his honor at ‘Uruk’ (also know as Erech). Anu was pleased with the
temple and relegated it as the new dwelling of his beloved grand-daughter ‘Inanna’ (also known
as Ishtar).
As joyous as this occasion was it we are informed here by the texts that it was disturbing to Anu
at just how much the short sun cycles of the earth had been affecting the Anunnaki who had
remained on Earth for extended periods. He was especially upset by the appearance of his two
sons and daughter who had been here the longest of all. Now, despite their extended life spans,
the three had aged greatly, and appeared much older than their father.
Eventually, after Anu’s departure the position of ‘over-ruler’ in Sumer was transferred to a
descendent of Enlil named ‘Nannar’ (also known as ‘Sin’. The land in question in fact still bears
his name today ‘Sins Land’ – Sinai).
Marduk however, had other ideas and after rallying support among Igigi and men he declared
himself to be commander of a new ‘Gateway to the Gods’ and commenced the construction of a
city and great tower at “Babili” to serve as a new spaceport at the site. The rebellion was soon
squashed by the ‘Enlilites’ and the new spaceport was totally destroyed in the infamous Tower of
Babel incident mentioned in the Bible. Marduk, now confused and further dejected, his planned
coup squashed, then returned to Egypt where he immediately deposed his brother Ningishzidda
and again seized control of Egypt. Ningishzidda fled the battle in time, but due to a subsequent
scheme by Marduk to discredit and also depose the rights of his younger brother Dummuzi (who
happened to be betrothed to Anu’s favorite grand-daughter Inanna) his younger brother was
killed by accident.
Fearful of the indirect hand he had played in the death of his younger brother Dummuzi,
Marduk fled to hide in the now abandoned Ekur, locking himself within its central chamber by
lowering three key stones but he was tried for his crimes in his absence by a group assembled
outside. Instead of death, the court imprisoned Marduk alive inside the Ekur at Inanna’s request
and great blocking stones were released within the structure sealing it completely. However
Marduks sentence was overturned and he was rescued before he starved to death in a daring plan
devised by Ningishzidda that involved using the original building plans of the Ekur and hacking
and blasting a twisting way through an emergency shaft.
Upon his release Marduk again disappeared into exile and became known as Amen, the unseen
god. Inanna never forgave Marduk for his hand in Dummuzi’s death and it would ultimately
prove to be a source of endless tensions and devastating ruin.
The rule of Egypt was somewhat disorderly and chaotic for the next 350 years until finally
order was re-established with the installation of the first Pharaoh in Memphis and it was then that
civilization came to the second region. At that time the kingship in Sumer was transferred from
Kish to Uruk and Inanna was given control of this third region. (It was about this time that the
Indus Valley civilization also began.) Eventually the line of Kingship began to deteriorate, the
royal capital began to shift about again and Enlil soon began to once more lose patience with the
multitudes of noisy and unruly humans.
It was then that Inanna/Ishtar fell in love with ‘Sharru-kin’ (also called ‘Jargon’) they were
married in a great ceremony and a new capital was established called ‘Agate’. This was the
