The
Enlilites, in the cities of their territory (Sumer, the First
Region) encouraged Earthlings to worship and serve them as
gods. But in Egypt (Second Region), Marduk, Inanna's
archrival, allowed only worship of himself, declaring himself
supreme deity. "So did Marduk, as Ra, above all other
gods himself emplace, their powers and attributes he to himself
assigned. ''What has you overpowered?' Enki to his son Marduk
said. 'Unheard of are your pretensions!' ''The heavens my
supremacy bespeak,' Marduk answered." [Sitchin,
2001:298]
The Nibirans and their Earthlings, examined the heavens and
found sun still rose in the constellation the Bull, marking Enlil's
rule; not the Ram, Marduk's constellation. Marduk
and his son Nabu nevertheless, mobilized their humans to challenge
the Enlilites.

In
the First Region to unify the lands under one leader the Anunnaki
[Those who from heaven to Earth descended] decided a warrior king
they desired. To Inanna, of Marduk the adversary, the task of
the right man to find they entrusted" [Sitchin
2001:300].
Around 2400 B.C., Inanna choose a part-Nibiran gardener, Sargon
(Lugal-zagesi), who, when he saw her asleep in his garden, kissed,
then entered her. Pleased, Inanna had made Sargon her
consort. With Enlil's backing, she appointed Sargon as
the warrior king to protect them again Marduk's
aggression.

Inanna
and Sargon ruled from Akkad (Agade) which they built near
Babylon. She, with aircraft and advanced weaponry,
helped him conquer and consolidate Mesopotamia.

In
2316 B.C., while Marduk and his son, Nabu were in Egypt, Sargon
invaded Marduk's stronghold, Babylon, then withdrew. Marduk
and Nabu returned from Egypt, fortified Babylon and diverted the
rivers from the other Sumerian cities. Marduk declared he'd
build his own spaceport in Babylon. "In the heart of
Edin, in the midst of the First Region, Marduk himself
established! Inanna's fury no boundaries knew; with her
weapons on Marduk's followers death she inflicted. The blood
of people, as never before on Earth, like rivers flowed." [Sitchin,
2001:301]
She and Sargon fought Marduk; both sides used laser weaponry, on the
enemy's Earthlings. Sargon died while besieged by Marduk’s
minions. The Anunnaki Council asked Marduk’s brother, Nergal
of Kuth, to disarm Marduk and Babylon.
En route to Babylon,
Nergal, with his Black Earthlings, visited Inanna in Uruk.
Though Inanna was an Enlilite, Nergal (an Enkiite) allied himself
with her against his brother, Marduk (also of Enki's
lineage). Nergal and Inanna became lovers, planned
Marduk’s defeat and conquest of all Earth.
Nergal went to Babylon, where Marduk greeted him.
