Essay 28 Inanna Revived Defeats Enkiites;
Ninurta, Not Marduk, to Next Rule Earth

Story So Far
      After the Second Pyramid War, 8670 B.C., a proposed marriage between Inanna, Enlil's son's daughter and Enki's son Dumuzi, was meant to bring the feuding Enki and Enlil lineages to peace.

 Marduk foiled the Inanna-Dumuzi marriage. Marduk had his sister Geshtinanna seduce Dumuzu. Marduk planned to then accuse Dumuzi of rape. If Dumuzi were regarded as a rapist, he would be forbidden from marrying Inanna. Then Inanna would not gain a power base through marriage in the Enkiite turf–Africa, Egypt, the Seas--that Marduk felt he would rule.

To escape the men Marduk sent to capture him, Dumuzi hid behind a waterfall but drown.

Narrative (Essay 28) Resumes
      Dumuzi's brother Ninagal retrieved Dumuzi's body from Lake Victoria.  He
brought the body to their brother Nergal and his wife, Erishkigal (Inanna's
sister) in South Africa.  Inanna flew to her sister's place.

ERESHKIGAL KILLS SISTER INANNA LEST SHE & NERGAL CREATE HEIR TO AFRICA

   Ereshkigal believed Inanna pursued levirate, whereby a man–usually his eldest brother, impregnates his dead brother's wife. Inanna considered Marduk, of course, ineligible to marry and impregnate her, since Marduk, Dumuzi’s firstborn brother was, responsible for Dumuzi’s death. So she sought his next oldest brother, Nergal.

Inanna thought she, as widow of Nergal's brother Dumuzi, would still be able to rule in Africa. If she invoked her right to levirate, she’d get Nergal to beget a son with her. A son by levirate would inherit Dumuzi's realms in northeast Africa. Inanna would usurp Ereshkigal’s and Nergal’s power in Africa. "Of scheming an heir by Nergal, Dumuzi's brother, Inanna was accused" [Sitchin, Z.,1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, page 230; 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 255].

       And die Inanna did.  But "from clay of the Abzu [Africa] Enki two emissaries  [robotic androids] fashioned, beings without blood, by death rays unharmed, to lower Abzu he sent them, Inanna to bring back.  Upon the corpse the clay emissaries a Pulser and an Emitter directed, then the Water  of Life on her they sprinkled, in her mouth, the Plant of Life they  placed.  Then the dead Inanna arose"  [Sitchin, Z.,The Lost Book of Enki, 2002, page 255].

          Inanna brought Dumuzi's body back to Mesopotamia and had Dumuzi mummified, to rise on a "Final Day" and rejoin her bodily.  Sitchin identifies Inanna's mummification of Dumuzi as both a way for her to deal with her grief at his death and also as part of a move by the Nibirans on Earth to preserve the myth of their immortality.  Nibirans at the time were actually just very long-living, compared to Earthlings; one Earth year equals 3, 600 years on the homeplanet, Nibiru [The Cosmic Code, pages 90, 96].

8670 B.C. THE SECOND PYRAMID WAR; Inanna & Enlilites Defeat Enkiites, Trap Marduk in Pyramid

Ninurta and the Enlilites waited 300 years from when Seth and his people (Enkiites, descendents of Noah's son Ham) occupied Canaan. The Enlil clan warred to regain control of the Space facilities there.  Inanna, Enlil’s son’s daughter, joined the Enlilite attack on Marduk's forces, in the Second Pyramid War [Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, pages 156-158]

“The Enlilites launched war to control the space related [Marker] peaks–Mount Moriah, The Harsag ( Mount St. Katherine) in the Sinai and the artificial mount, the Ekur (The Great Pyramid) in Egypt.” [Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, page 158]

Ninurta, in a new jet with a 75-foot wingspan blasted Marduk’s stongholds “while Adad roamed behind the enemy lines,” and destroyed the fish, cattle and food of the Enkiites and their slave armies.

Marduk’s armies retreated into the mountains but Inanna blasted them with “an explosive beam that tore the enemy apart” and forced the Enkiites south. Ninurta then led the Enlilite forces “in an attack on the heartland of Nergal’s African domain and his temple-city Meslam. They scorched the earth and made the rivers run red with the blood of the innocent bystanders–the men women and children of the Abzu. [Africa].” [Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, page 159 - 163, based on Lugal-e Ud Melam-bi in Geller, S., 1917 Altorientalische Texte und Untersuchungen].

NINURTA SHOOTS POISON MISSILES ON THE AFRICANS

Ninurta rained on the city poison-bearing missiles. The poison by itself destroyed the city. Those who survived the attack on the city fled to the surrounding mountains. But Ninurta “with the Weapon that Smites threw fire upon the mountains, smote down the people."

Inanna's brother Utu held off the Igigi in Sinai.

ENKIITE GODS RETREAT TO GIZA PYRAMID

After Ninurta killed the Enkiites occupying Sinai, he attacked Marduk, whom he defeated in Kur. But Marduk by his nonresistence tactics, escaped. He retreated into the Great Pyramid at Giza, where Enki “raised up a protective shield through which the death rays could not penetrate” [Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, page 162].

Marduk's brother Nergal “broke through Nergal’s lines and came to Marduk’s aid. Nergal strenthened the pyramid’s defences “through ray-emitting crystals positioned within.” But Marduk’s borther Ningishzidda refused to defend him. Marduk's other brothers, Ninagal and Gibil, his father Enki and Marduk's grandson Horon joined Marduk in the pyramid.  The Enkiites made their stand together in the Giza Pyramid.

      Enlil’s grandson, Utu/Shamash cut off the water source to the Enkiites in the Pyramid.

Horon tried to sneak out of the Great Pyramid disguised as a ram, but “was struck by Ninurta’s Brilliant Weapon” and blinded. Enki radioed his sister, Ninurta’s mother Ninmah/Ninharsag to save Horon. She decided to stop the fight.

NIHARSAG NEGOTIATES HER SON NINURTA TO SUCCEED TO EARTH'S RULE IN
EXCHANGE FOR MARDUK'S LIFE

Ninharsag told Enlil, Exile Marduk, replace him with our son Ninurta.  Ninurta, not Marduk shall you succeed.  Enlil and Enki accepted Ninharsag's proposal.  [Sitchin, Z.,The Lost Book of Enki, 2002, page 259].
