MARDUK & ASTRONAUT CORPS SEIZE HYBRID BRIDES, & SPACEPORT, THREATEN ENLILITES
 

Story So Far

  The Seven Who Judge banished Ka-in, hybrid Adapa's eldest son, and Ka-in's beardless descendants east of Edin, to Nod.  There, Ninurta taught them metallurgy, cattle herding, lyre, flute.  The Nibiran nobles in Iraq/Sumer taught Adapa's other, bearded, descendants administration, writing, math, well-digging, brewing, harping, healing oil preparation.  Ninurta taught them gold-smelting and refining.  He also taught them to ceremonially venerate the  Lords.  

Narrative Resumes 

EARTH SUFFERS AN ICE AGE

13, 000 years ago, when an new Ice Age hit Earth, the slaves complained.  They needed more food [Sitchin, Z., 1885, The Wars of Gods and Men pages 111 -112; 2002, The Lost Book of Enki:, pages 188-193].

Enki, Ninmah & Enlil Age See Wrinkles

Expedition chiefs--Enki, Ninmah and Enlil--met over the food crisis.  When they saw each other, face-to-face, they saw wrinkles, each others' . "Old on Earth we became, but those on Earth born are even older sooner," said Enki.

Dealing with Perigee-Produced Problems

The chiefs sent Ninurta "Beyond the Seas in the mountainland [Andes Mtns.] a Bond Heaven-Earth [transmission tower] to establish."  Climate, magnetic storm and sky-borne terrors had hit Marsbase gold refinery, so they ordered Marduk to Marsbase to check damage.

MARDUK CHOOSES HYBRID TO MARRY

When he returned to Earth, Marduk told his parents he'd marry an Earthling superslave, Sarpanit, daughter of Marduk's Earthling protégé, Enkime (a descendant of Enki's part-Earthling son, Adapa).

Marduk's mother, Ninki (Damkina), warned Marduk that if he married Sarpanit "to Nibiru with his spouse he would never go. His princely rights on Nibiru he forever will forsake.   To this Marduk with a bitter laugh responded: My rights on Nibiru are nonexistent. Even on Earth my rights as firstborn have been trampled" [by Enlil and his heir, Ninurta]. 

Though trampled on Earth, Marduk vowed he'd rise.  He'd marry Sarpanit and bind the Earthlings to himself .  He'd wield the slaves as weapons, and with them, win mastery, first of Earth, then Nibiru.

Enlil beamed King Anu on Nibiru.  Forbid the Marduk-Sarpanit union,  Enlil pleaded.  But Anu and his counselors ruled, "On Nibiru Adapa, the maiden's progenitor, could not stay. Therefore to return to Nibiru with her, Marduk must forever be be barred. Marduk marry can, but on Nibiru a prince he shall no more be."

Enlil let Marduk and Sarpanit proclaim they'd wed at Eridu, Enki's place on the Persian Gulf. But Enlil ordered the couple, after they wed, to Egypt (henceforth Marduk’s turf) within Enki's African domain.

 "A great multitude of Civilized Earthlings [Adapite superslaves] in Eridu assembled,.... Young Anunnaki [Nibiran Goldmining Expedition personnel and their pure progeny], Igigi from Lahmu [Mars] in great numbers came" [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki: 198 - 199].  The Igigi planned to catch brides and seize power.

ASTRONAUTS ABDUCT SUPERSLAVES AS MARDUK WEDS

   200 Igigi-- astronauts-- occupied the Landing Platform in Lebanon then flew to Edin.  There they mixed with slaves and Nibirans and watched Marduk and Sarpanit wed. Then each astronaut seized a female slave.

 IGIGI FORTIFY LEBANON, TELL ENLIL: APPROVE OUR MARRIAGES TOO OR WE'LL DESTROY EARTH

The astronauts took the 200 slavewomen back to Lebanon and "into a stronghold the place they made." They radioed Enlil: Bless our Earthling marriages or by fire all on Earth shall we shall destroy.  [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki: 201]

Marduk, commander of the Igigi, demanded Enlil stop calling the unions the astronauts and their captives developed "abductions."  Enlil must ratify the unions as legal marriages.  Enlil fumed.

Though he didn't press the issue, "In his heart things against Marduk and his Earthlings was Enlil plotting." [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki: 202; 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men: 346]

Marduk settled some of the Igigi and their half-Nibiran, half--Adapite descendants (Children of the Rocketships) in Babylon; he and Sarpanit stayed with others in Lebanon.

By 100,000 years ago, some of these “Children of the Rocketships” settled in "the far eastlands, lands of high mountains." [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki: 202; 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men: 346]

      Enlil ordered his successor Ninurta to counter the spread of Marduk's Earthlings. "'The Earth by Earthlings inherited will be,' Enlil to Ninurta said. 'Go, the offspring of Ka-in find, with them a domain of your own prepare.'"

       To meet Marduk's threat, Ninuta gathered Ka-in's descendants.  He showed them how to build balsam rafts.  They crossed the seas on the rafts, then settled at Lake Titicaca in the Andes.  Ninurta taught them tin and gold mining, smelting and refining. [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki: 203]
