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.  For levirate, a brother of the man who died-a brother of Dumuzi in this instance-- impregnates his dead brother's wife.  Inanna considered Dumuzi's eldest brother, Marduk, unfit to marry and impregnate her since Marduk--Dumuzi’s firstborn brother--caused Dumuzi’s death.

So Inanna sought Dumuzi's next oldest brother, Nergal.

Inanna thought she, widow of Nergal's brother Dumuzi would--through Nergal and the boy they'd begat--rule in Africa despite Dumuzi's death. If she invoked her right to levirate, she’d get Nergal to make a son with her.  A son she begat with Nergal 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].

   When Inanna arrived at Ereshkigal's place, Erkeshkigal barred her entry.  Inanna forced her way in, but Ereshkigal disarmed Inanna and hung her on a stake to die.

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 returned Dumuzi's body to Mesopotamia and had it mummified to rise, she said, on a "Final Day" and rejoin her bodily.   She proclaimed to the slaves that he'd revive, since Nibiran gods like Dumuzi live forever.  Sitichin suggests the biophysics of Nibiru, which revolves around the Sun once for every 3,800 times Earth circles it, made Nibirans live longer than  Earthling slaves [Sitchin, Z., 1998 The Cosmic Code, pages 90, 96].

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

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 poison-bearing missiles on Mesiam and destroyed the city. Survivors 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 Ninurta’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 cut off the water source to the Enkiites in the Pyramid.

Horon, disguised as a ram, slipped out of the pyramid but Ninuta blinded him with his "Brilliant Weapon." Enki radioed his sister, Ninurta’s mother Ninharsag to save Horon. She decided to stop the fight.

NINHARSAG FINESSES A CEASE FIRE

Ninharsag, mother of Ninurta (Enlil’s Champion) lied that Nibiru’s King Anu–father of Enlil, Enki and herself–commanded a cease fire then a peace conference. Adad objected; he demanded the Enkiites surrender unconditionally. Commander Enlil overrode Adad and told Ninharsag to bring Enki and the Enkiites back to Ninharsag's palace, the Harsag, above the Sinai.

Ninurta gave Ninharsag a suit that protected her from radiation. Enlil told her to lead Enki, Marduk, Nergal, Ninigal and Gibil to parley in her palace.

She crossed the battle lines and told the Enkiites, The Enlilites wouldn’t hurt you; just come out.  Surrender.

Enki hesitated, We'll come out if Enlil commits to a peace treaty between our lineages. But he gave her his hand. Ninharsag led him and his lineage loyalists to the Harsag, her abode. [Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, pages 164 -172].

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].
