Enki & Ninmah Breed Girls Till She Curses Him

Our story

        Chief Health Officer, Princess Ninmah, rejected the sexual advances of Commander Enlil, father of her son, Ninurta.  Frustrated, Enlil raped Ninmah's Assistant, Sud.  The Seven Who Judge sentenced Enlil to exile in Africa.  But when Sud, pregnant, agreed to a royal name, Ninti--and marriage to Enlil, the Tribunal pardoned Enlil and had pilot Abgal return Enlil from Exile.   Since Enlil'd lost Ninmah already and lusted for Sud anyway, he returned to Edin with renewed power.  All he had to do was marry Sud and he'd resume command of Earth operations.  He didn't  even have to reveal he knew where Enki'd hidden the nuclear missiles.  All he had to do was marry Sud.

Narrative Resumes

Ninmah spurned Enlil.  Now she could explore with former fiancee Enki.
 

Enki told Ninmah, "Come with me in the Abzu [Africa] ... your adoration of Enlil abandon."  

In Africa, "Enki to her words of loving spoke, sweet words he spoke, 'You are still my beloved' to her he said, caressing.  He embraced her, he kissed her, she caused his phallus to water.  Enki his semen into the womb of Ninmah poured.  'Give me a son,' he cried."  [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 115]

But Ninmah bore Enki a daughter, then, immediately, another daughter.  

When he insisted on again impregnating her, "Ninmah against Enki a curse uttered, whatever food he ate was poison in his innards.... 

"To distance himself from Nimmah's vulva Enki by raised arm swore; from her curse Enki was freed.  To the Edin Ninmah returned." [The Lost Book of Enki, page 116] 

Enki consoled himself; he flew Ereshkigal (Enlil's son's daugher) to Cape Agulhas on South Africa's tip. He said she'd run the astronomical, climate and earth-monitoring station there. En route he seduced her.  Erishkigal, now pregnant with Enki’s child (Ningishzidda/Thoth), took command of the Monitoring Station. [Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, page 176],

Pregnant already, Ereshkigal bore Enki' son, Ningishzidda. [Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, pages 111 -112, 176; 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, pages 188-193, 195].  Ningishzidda, thus related to Enlilites and Enkiites, would empathize with both lineages.

ENLIL & ENKI BREED COMPETING LINEAGES WITHIN ANU'S CLAN

 Enki and Enlil bred competing patrilineages, rival groups related-through-men. 

Enki's Lineage, The Enkiites: When Ninmah stopped Enki from impregnating her again, Enki sent to Nibiru for his wife, Damkina and their son, MARDUK.  Recall, when Alalu seized the Nibiran Throne he wed his daughter, Damkina, to Anu's son Enki.  The first son of Damkina and Enki, Marduk, Anu and Alalu agreed, would one day reign as King of Nibiru.  But Anu deposed and condemned Alalu.  Then King Anu sent his three kids--Enki,  Ninmah and Enlil--to Earth.

On Earth, Damkina and Enki begat his clan/lineage, the Enkiites--Marduk's Earthborn half-brothers--NERGAL, GIBIL, DUMUZI and NINAGAL.   Marduk's begat Seth, Nabu, and, Osiris, who fathered Horus.

Enlil's Lineage, The Enlilites: Enlil bred his lineage on Earth with his wife, Sud.  Their sons together-- NANNAR and ADAD--reinforced him and his eldest son, NINURTA (Enlil's illicit child with Ninmah) in their struggles with the Enkiites.
