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

“On the eve of the Deluge [13,000 years ago], the Earth and its inhabitants were gripped by a new Ice Age.” Conditions on Earth became harsher; The hybrid workers experienced “shortages of food. Toilers in field and meadow raised complaints."

Enki, Ninmah & Enlil Age See They’ve Aged Drastically

The Anunnaki leaders on Earth--Enki, Ninmah and Enlil--met to deal with the crisis.

Face-to-face, they saw each other's wrinkling visages. The three half-siblings, children of Anu each, worried at what they saw. They'd aged drastically. Said Enki, "Old on Earth we became, but those on Earth born are even older sooner."

Dealing with Perigee Produced Problems

Enki appointed Lu-Mach, a descendant of Enkime, workmaster of the Earthlings in Edin, "the quotas to enforce, the rations to reduce."

The leaders sent Ninurta, Enlil and Ninmah's son "to the Land Beyond the Seas [The Andes Mountains of South America] in the mountainland a Bond Heaven-Earth [transmission tower] to establish."

The leaders sent Ninurta's rival, Enki's son Marduk, to evaluate damage at Marsbase. Climatic, magnetic and astronomical disruptions damaged Marsbase, where Astronauts refined and transshipped Earth's gold to Nibiru.

Enlil, Enki and Ninmah had earlier sent Enlil’s son Nannar’s daughter (Inanna’s sister) Ereshkigal with Enki to run an astronomical, climate and earth sciences monitoring station at Cape Agulhas, the south tip of Africa.   Enki, en route, had coerced Ereshkigal into sex with him, but delivered her to the station.  [Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, page 176], The issue of the union of Enki and Ereshkigal was Ningishzidda/Thoth, and this is would later make Thoth politically acceptable to both the Enlilites and the Enkiites.

Enki’s son Nergal, who ran mining operations in South Africa, regarded Enlilite Ereshkigal as encroaching on his territory. Nergal started to attack Ereshkigal, but she induced him to instead marry her. Nergal and Ereshkigal then ran the station together [Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, pages 111 -112, 117, 176; 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, pages 188-193, 195].

MARDUK CHOOSES HYBRID TO MARRY

Marduk told his parents he wanted to marry an Earthling, 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, who preempted Earth commands]. 

Though trampled on Earth, Marduk vowed, he would rise and become master.  He'd marry Sarpanit, and by the marriage, bind the Earthlings to himself .  They'd be weapons for him to claim mastery, first of Earth, then to his birthright on Nibiru.

     Enlil beamed King Anu on Nibiru.  He asked the King to stop Marduk and Sarpanit from marrying.  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 announce their wedding at Eridu, Enki's place on the Persian Gulf. However, Enlil also ordered that Marduk and Sarpanit, after their wedding, banished to Egypt (which would henceforth be Marduk’s own domain), within Enki's sphere of influence (Abzu/Africa).

      "A great multitude of Civilized [Adapite] Earthlings in Eridu assembled,.... Young Anunnaki [Nibiran Colonists and their pure progeny], Igigi from Lahmu [Mars] in great numbers came" [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki: 198 - 199].  The astronauts planned to use Marduk's wedding toassemble, capture brides of their own and seize power.

ASTRONAUTS ABDUCT EARTH BRIDES AT MARDUK'S WEDDING, THREATEN EARTH'S DESTRUCTION UNLESS ANUNNAKI LEADERS RATIFY THEIR UNIONS WITH THE ADAPITE WOMEN

      200 Igigi-- astronauts-- occupied the Landing Platform in Lebanon (the Cedar Mountains), then flew to Edin and mixed with the crowd of Adapa's descendants and Nibiran colonists at the wedding of Marduk and Sarpanit.

After the ceremony, each astronaut seized one Adapite Earthling maiden.  They took the 200 women back to Lebanon and "into a stronghold the place they made, to the leaders a challenge they issued...'The Adapite daughters to marry we wish. Your blessing to this you must give, else by fire all on Earth destroy we will.' " [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki: 201]

 Marduk, commander of the Igigi, challenged Enlil verbally.  What Enlil called abductions of the Hybrid females were, in Marduk's opinion, marriages.   Enlil fumed.

"In his heart things against Marduk and his Earthlings was Enlil plotting."

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

          By 100,000 years ago, some of these "Children of the Rocketships," allied with Marduk, 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]     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 counter Marduk's threat, Ninurta recruited the descendants of Ka-in. He showed them how to build balsam rafts. They crossed the seas, settled the Andes highlands, and, at Lake Titicaca, Ninurta taught them tin and gold mining, smelting and refining. [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki: 203]
