Story So Far Enki's tablet asked that Anu deny Adapa immortality. Return him instead to Earth. On Earth, Adapa would breed a more intelligent servant race, the AdaPites, the Civilized Humans, better for Nibiran needs, better able to serve the Lords than the AdaMite Hybrids. The Adapites, descended from the earlier Hybrid, Adamu, had more Homo-Erectus genes than Adapa. King Anu ordered Ningishzidda to return to Earth and help Enki tutor the Adapites. So Ningishzidda returned with Adapa and seeds for Adapa's son Ka-in to plant. Anu kept Ningishzidda's brother Dumuzi on Nibiru. Experts taught Dumuzi animal husbandry so he, in turn, could, when he too got back to Earth, teach Ka-in's twin, Abael, husbandry. When Nibiru again approached Earth, Dumuzi would take female goats, sheep and a sperm bank for these animals for Abael. [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki:170] Narrative Resumes Ningishzidda rocketed back to Earth with Adapa and grain seeds. Ningishzidda's job: prepare Abael--one of Adapa's twins–to work with Dumuzi when, in 3,600 Earth years (next time Nibiru approached Earth), Dumuzi would return from Nibiru to Earth. When Dumuzi returned to Earth, however, Ningishzidda’s elder brother, Marduk, Enki's eldest son, took charge of Abael and the animal husbandry project. Whether Dumuzi or Marduk supervised Abael, the Enki lineage ran livestock for Mission Earth. To balance Enkiite control of livestock, Enlil insisted his own eldest son and Foremost Warrior, Ninurta, tutor Ka-in in farming. Agriculture on Earth, augmented by the grain seeds Ningishzidda brought from Nibiru, was to be a project of the Enlil lineage. At a "Celebration for Firsts, " Ka-in, guided by Ninurta, presented his first grain. Abael, guided by Marduk, presented his first lambs to Enlil and to Enki.
Though Enki was both maternal and paternal grandfather of twins Ka-in and Abael, he praised Abael’s lambs for the meat and wool they’d give. But Enki said nothing of Ka-in’s offering of grain, for Ka-in had been co-opted by Ninurta. Ka-in sulked. "By the lack of Enki’s blessing greatly was he aggrieved" The twins quarreled for an entire winter about whose contribution–Ka-in’s grains and fish-abundant irrigation canals or Abael’s meat and wool--contributed most. "When summer began, it was not raining, the meadows were dry, the pastures dwindled. Into the fields of his brother Abael his flocks drove, from the furrows and canals to drink water. By this Ka-in was angered."
The twins fought with fists till Ka-in bludgeoned Abael with a stone, then sat and sobbed. [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 183- 184]. KA-IN'S LINE Enki brought his grandson Ka-in to Eridu to be judged by The Seven Who Judge. The seven were Ninmah, sister of both Enki and Enlil and Enlil, Ninki, Ninurta and Nannar from Enlil's Lineage; Enki, Ninti and Marduk from Enki's lineage. Marduk, Abael’s mentor, demanded the Judges order Ka-in--protege of his rival Ninurta--executed. But Enki told Marduk that he, Enki, was Ka-in’s grandfather, so Ka-in was Marduk’s grandnephew. Enki told Marduk Ka-in’s survival was critical to generate genetically superior Earthling laborers for field, pasture and mines "If Ka-in too shall be extinguished, satiation [of food supplies] to an end would come, mutinies will be repeated." The Seven ruled "Eastward to a land of wandering for his evil deed Ka-in must depart. Eastward to a land of wandering for his evil deed Ka-in must depart". Ka-in and "his generations shall be distinguished." By Ningishzidda was the life essence [genotype] of Ka-in altered: his face a beard could not grow*** .....With his sister Awan as a spouse Ka-in from the Edin departed." [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, pages 186 - 187]. They wandered in the wilderness to the east. King Anu had, at Enki’s request, denied Adapa the genetic and herbal modifications that would give him the same immortality as the full-blooded Nibirans. Now Adapa, though long-lived by Earthlings' life expectancies, was dying. Ninurta, in his rocketship, fetched Adapa’s son Ka-in to Edin. "The eyesight of Adapa having failed, for recognition of his sons' faces he touched. The face of Ka-in was beardless" Adapa told Ka-in, "For your sin of your birthright you are deprived, but of your seed seven nations will come. In a realm set apart they shall thrive, distant lands they shall inhabit. But having your brother with a stone killed, by a stone will be your end." Ninurta returned Ka-in to the wilds east of Edin where "in a distant realm Ka-in had sons and daughters" Ninurta, "for them a city built, and as he was building, by a falling stone was he [Ka-in] killed." (Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men page 112] suggests this might have been a murder rather than accident.) Ka-in's survivors planted grain. They founded and ruled the city of Nud [also called Dun, Dunnu and Nu.dun]. Ka-in's successors for the next four generations were murdered by their sons. For the next three generations after that, each ruler of Nud ascended to rule after marrying his sister and murdering his parents. Ka-in’s son's son's son (great grandson), Enoch, who succeeded Ka-in in the fourth generation of Ka-in’s descendants, married two of his own sisters, Adah and Zillah. One of Adah’s sons, Jabal, and his followers lived in tents and raised cattle. Jabal’s brother Jubal, begat a line of musicans who played lyre and flute music. Lamech’s other wife, Zillah, bore Tubal-Cain, who was a smith, "an artificer of gold, copper and iron." [Sitchin, Z., 1885, The Wars of Gods and Men pages111 -112; 2002, The Lost Book of Enki:, pages 181-193]. ADAPA AND TITI'S OTHER PROGENY AND THEIR ISSUE Adapa left behind the descendants of thirty sons and thirty daughters he and Titi begat. The Nibiran colonists divided these genetic descendants of Enki among themselves as proteges and taught them writing, mathematics, well-digging, body oil preparation, harp and flute mastery and the preparation of elixir of the Inbu fruits. These educated hybrids identified with their respective Nibiran teachers. Nibirans taught Adapa's descendants to use bitumens for furnaces for gold smelting and refining. Enlil's son, Nannar, taught the Adapite Hybrids ceremonies to worship their Nibiran lords. "Of the rites of worship of the Anunnaki [Those who from Sky Descended, i.e., Nibirans] that the beginning was." Enki taught astronomy to one of his hybrid descendants, Enkime. Enki's son Marduk rocketed Enkime to the Moon and Marsbase, then sent him to the spaceport at Sippar, to be Prince of Earthlings under Nannar's son, Utu/Shamash, Sippar's chief.
Lu-Mach, a descendant of Enkime, was appointed workmaster of the
Earthlings in Edin, "the quotas to enforce, the rations to
reduce." But "in his days conditions on Earth became harsher;
the toilers in field and meadow raised complaints"
