end of sumer 2024 bc

A contentious co-existence between warring Annunaki clans descended from Enki and Enlil, came to an ironic and fateful end in 2024BC. Civilization literally fled Sumer in a race against deadly nuclear fallout. Enki's son, Marduk, threatened to control all the spaceports on Earth, an intolerable situation for Enlilites (Enlil's clan). In Sitchin student Sasha Lessin's Essay 41, "Sumer Dies; Marduk & Babylon Prevail". "In 2024BC, Nergal and Ninurta carried out Earth's first nuclear attack. Purpose of the attack: stop advance of Marduk and his son, Nabu, on the Sinai Spaceport. Enlil and the Anunnaki Council on Earth had ordered the attack; only Marduk's father Enki dissented..."

Enlil, banished to Africa for a time as punishment for rape, learned of the "Weapons of Terror" from Abgal, who had long ago hid them with Enki in a cave there. Sasha Lessin, in another essay, describes events immediately preceding and the fateful attacks:

"Enlil evacuated the Igigi Astronauts from the Sinai and sent Ninurta and Nergal (the 'angels' of the Bible) to confirm from his spys in Canaan--Ibruum [Abraham] and Lot--that they should bomb Sodom, Gomorra and other cities allied with Marduk. Enlil gave his spies time to flee, then ordered the attack.

2024 BC, Enlil's son Ninurta attacked the Sinai. "The first terror weapon [a
missile called One Without Rival] from the skies Ninurta let loose; the top of Mount Mashu [where the controlling equipment was housed] with a flash it sliced off, the mount's innards in an instant it melted.

Above the Place of the Celestial Chariots [rocketships] the second weapon [called Blazing Flame] he unleashed, with a brilliance of seven suns the plain's rocks into a gushing wound were made...with burnt and crushed stones was the plain of the chariots covered, of all the forests that the plain had surrounded, only tree stems were left standing. [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 310]"

Nergal bombed his brother Marduk's forces in Canaan [Enki sired both Marduk and Nergal; [sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, pages 315 - 316]: He nuked Sodom, Gomorra and three other cities Ibruum[Abraham] had identified as allied with Marduk. Nergal's nukes made the Dead Sea dead. To this day, "the water of springs surrounding the Dead Sea has been contaminated with radioactivity, `enough to induce sterility..in any animals and humans that absorbed it...'"

Zechara Sitchin provides on page 89 of "The End of Days" the epithets given Nergal and Ninurta for unleashing terror weapons:

"In the aftermath...Nergal dictated to a trusted scribe his own version of the events, trying to exonerate himself. The long text is known as the Erra Epos, for it refers to Nergal by the epithet Erra (“The Annihilator”) and to Ninurta as Ishum (“The Scorcher”)."

Sitchin provided evidence for his view in a 2001 article, "The Case for The Evil Wind" and the pictured Tephra, a blackened volcanic-like rock in the Sinai where no volcano is located.  Lessin writes in , " 2024BC: Fallout from Nergal and Ninurta's Nukes Kill Sumer;Spare Marduk's Babylon,":

"..an Evil Wind carried...From the Upper Sea, a stormwind began blowing, the dark-brown cloud eastward toward Shumer the death was carried. Wherever it reached, death to all that lives mercilessly it delivered.

The alarm Enlil and Enki to the gods of Shumer transmitted, Escape!
From their cities the gods did flee.

The people of the land by the evil storms hand were clutched. Those
who behind locked doors hid inside their houses like flies were
felled. Those who in the streets fled, int the streets were their
corpses piled up. Everything that lived perished." But
Babylon, "where Marduk his supremacy declared , by the Evil Wind was
spared." [sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, pages 312 - 313]"

Enki convinces Enlil to accept destiny of Marduk prevailing with the sparing of Marduk's Babylon from the Evil Wind as recorded on tablet 14 of the Lost Book of Enki:

"So did Enlil to his brother Enki say, then he the triumph of Marduk accepted.
Let the rank of fifty, by me for Ninurta intended, to Marduk instead be given,
Let Marduk over the desolation in the Regions his supremacy declare!
As for me and Ninurta, we will in his way no longer stand.
To the Lands Beyond the Oceans we will depart, what we had all had come for,
The mission to obtain for Nibiru gold we will complete!"

Nuclear wars conducted by ancient astronauts seem more real than ever? It's still a profound story - accusations of pseudoscience aside - with Sitchin's belief evidence of scarring on Sinai visible in satellite picture at left. The present day condition of Dead Sea where Sodom and Gomorrah are believed submerged under water at the south tip near "the tongue" of the sea as pictured right. Sumer came to an abrupt end. The first civilization known to mankind was gone even faster than it had risen!

gilgamesh & the search for the 'landing place', part1

Who needs a television action hero when the Epic of Gilgamesh supplies the real thing? Gilgamesh, the fifth king of Uruk, a Sumerian city-state circa 2500 BC, fulfills any reader's need for epic adventure. The Sumerian King is viewed a demi-god (half human) but considered two-thirds divine by benefit of his mother, an Annunaki princess, Ninsun. In spite of a youthful age, Gilgamesh grew anxious about a human fate and sought immortality. A demi-god known for his prowess, Gilgamesh is provided with a companion, Enkidu, to occupy his boundless energies. The Sumerian King had taken to conjugal visits in newlyweds' homes, insisting on taking the spouse before the husband could consummate the union. This impropriety provoked an outcry from inhabitants and Enkidu was the gods' solution. They become close after initial conflict, when Gilgamesh realizes this is the friend Ninsun had foretold he would meet. Enkidu translated means "creature of Enki" and viewed as an android by Zecharia Sitchin in his book, Stairway to Heaven". It is Enkidu who revealed to Gilgamesh the location of the landing place of the gods in the Cedar Mountains, where the demi-god might outsmart his fate. Sitchin knew the only cedar trees in the entire Middle East are in Lebanon, concluding Baalbek is the Landing Place, pictured on a Phoenician coin above.


On tablet three of 12 clay tablets from Ashurbanipal's library in Ninveh dating to the 7th century BC, Ninsun seeks the support of Shamash for her son's and Enkidu's adventure. The pair travel a great distance west and arrive at the cedar forest, then lie down for the night. Gilgamesh is awakened by what must be a rocket launch and later describes: "The vision that I saw was wholly awesome! The heavens shrieked, the earth boomed! Though daylight was dawning, darkness came. Lightning flashed, a flame shot up. The clouds swelled, it rained death! Then the glow vanished; the fire went out. And all that had fallen was turned to ashes." The launch confirms to Gilgamesh he has found the Landing Place.

In the morning, they find the gate in the forest Enkidu previously told Gilgamesh about. Enkidu gets thrown and knocked unconscious trying to open the gate, the companion lies paralyzed for 12 days. Gilgamesh locates in the meantime a tunnel, and once Enkidu recovered, they begin to clear trees and rocks from the opening.

The two adventurers just cleared a hole large enough when their presence was discovered. Huwawa (Humbaba) appointed guardian of the forest by Enlil, whose forehead could emanate a radiant beam and destroy trees, bushes or man detected them. The forest's guardian could, according to text, employ seven radiances or cloaks but only one was on when the montrous giant encountered the intruders. Gilgamesh and Enkidu took this as an opportunity to overcome Huwawa, but the monster turned to face them with its killing beam tracing a destructive path from his forehead.

Shamash seeing danger spoke to them from the sky, advising to draw near and raised swirling winds that beat against Huwawa's eyes, neutralizing the beam and soon immobilized him. Enkidu struck Huwawa then to the ground and put him to death. The crash of the monster resounded for two leagues (over ten miles) through the forest. The two stopped to rest by a stream their path no longer blocked.

Gilgamesh was spotted by Ishtar while bathing, who must have been watching like Shamash from above in her craft. The Landing Place also known as the Crossroads of Ishtar as she used it to come and go, enamored by his physical beauty, attempts to entice Gilgamesh into sex. Gilgamesh realizing his inferior position, rebuffs the goddess' overture with the realization, sooner or later, she would rid herself of him like an old shoe and named other parties she had been promiscuous! Ishtar enraged by the refusal, seeks approval from Anu to allow the "Bull of Heaven" to kill Gilgamesh on tablet six.

The Bull of Heaven attacked and the two adventurers flee for their lives back to Uruk, cutting short their attempt to enter the Landing Place. They are aided by Shamash but Anu's mechical monster with two piercing horns, caught up with them on the outskirts of the city. Enkidu left alone to face the monster as Gilgamesh summoned his warriors, falls into a pit created when the Bull of Heaven snorts. The Bull turned away and Enkidu leaped from the pit and put the monster to death. The triumphant pair pay homage to Shamash and rest in the King's palace after an all night celebration.

Ishtar complains to the Supreme Gods, who hear her complaint and consider death for Gilgamesh and Enkidu as they killed both Huwawa and the Bull of Heaven. It seemed a price must be paid. This concludes only the first part of the epic. There is a second search for immortality and adventure where Gilgamesh meets Noah-stay tuned!

eridu: world's first city and home of enki

The first world city, Eridu, built ~5400BC and home of Enki (pictured), an Annunaki, whose father Anu was lord of Nibiru, the planet of the crossing. "The main temple to Enki is called E-abzu [pictured], meaning "abzu temple" (also E-en-gur-a, meaning "house of the subterranean waters"), a ziggurat temple surrounded by Euphratean marshlands near the ancient Persian Gulf coastline at Eridu," according to a Wikipedia entry. Ziggaruts were temples, where kings escaped flooding marshlands, and also, a secure abode only accessible by two or three entrances. Enki's Abzu is of particular interest, in this Red Ice Creations article, believed to be original spacecraft Enki splashed down to Earth. There are websites, where it's speculated Abzu is equated with Abyss, waters and is a Stargate. Sumerian history is more interesting than let on by history books!
