Essay 28 Inanna Revived Defeats Enkiites;
Ninurta, Not Marduk, to Next Rule Earth

Story So Far
      Around 8670 BC, a marriage between Inanna, Enlil's son's daughter and
Enki's son Dumuzi, meant to bring the feuding Enki and Enlil lineages to
peace is foiled by Enki's eldest son, Marduk, who gets his sister
Geshtinanna to seduce Dumuzu so he can accuse Dumuzi of rape and
prevent Inanna from power in the Enkiite turf–Africa, Egypt, the
Seas.  Dumuzi flees to hide behind a waterfall but drowns.

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.

ERISHKIGAL KILLS SISTER INANNA LEST SHE & NERGAL CREATE HEIR TO AFRICA

 Erishkigal believed Inanna pursued levirate, whereby a man impregnates his dead brother's wife.  Inanna thought she, as widow of Nergal's brother Dumuzi, should rule in Africa.  If she invoked her right to levirate, she’d get Nergal to begat a son with her.  A son by levirate would inherit Dumuzi's realms in northeast Africa.  Inanna would usurp Erishkigal’s and Nergal’d power in Africa. "Of scheming an heir by Nirgal, Dumuzi's brother, Inanna was accused" [Sitchin, Z.,The Lost Book of Enki, 2002:255].

       When Inanna arrived at Ereshkigal's place, Erkishkigal
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, 2002:255].

          Inanna brought Dumuzi's body back to Mesopotamia and had Dumuzi mummified, to rise on a "Final Day" and rejoin her bodily.  Sitchin identifies Inanna's mummification of Dumuzi as both a way for her to deal with her grief at his death and also as part of a move by the Nibirans on Earth to preserve the myth of their immortality.  Nibirans at the time were actually just very long-living, compared to Earthlings; one Earth year equals 3, 600 years on the homeplanet, Nibiru [The Cosmic Code, pages 90, 96].

INANNA & ENLILITES DEFEAT ENKIITES, TRAP MARDUK IN PYRAMID

           Inanna led the Enlilites to war against Marduk for instigating Dumuzi's death.

     Marduk's brothers Ningishzidda and Nergal refused to defend him.  But Marduk's other brothers, Ninigal and Gibil, his father Enki and Marduk's grandson Horon joined Marduk and his Astronaut Service (Igigi) allies fighting the Enlilites. 

Inanna blinded Horon's right eye in the fight. 

Inanna's brother Utu held off  the Igigi in Sinai. 

 Inanna and Enlil's sons, Ninurta and Ishkur/Adad attacked Marduk from aircraft. Marduk retreated  into the beacon pyramid [Giza].  On foot, Inanna, Ishkur and Ninurta cornered Marduk in one of the pyramid's air-tight chambers.  "Let the slow death, by alive being buried, be Marduk's sentence!  Inanna her consent gave.  Each one of them one stone for plugging slid down, Marduk as in a tomb to seal" [Sitchin, Z.,The Lost Book of Enki, 2002:255]. 

          Enki brought Sarpanit, Marduk's Hybrid Earthling wife–their young son Nabu in hand, and Inanna's father Nannar and her brother Utu to plead for Marduk's life.  Sarpanit prostrated herself before Inanna, begging her to spare Marduk.  "Appeased not was Inanna. 'For the death of my beloved Dumuzi, the Instigator must die,' Inanna retorted.

NINHARSAG NEGOTIATES HER SON NINURTA TO SUCCEED TO EARTH'S RULE IN
EXCHANGE FOR MARDUK'S LIFE

         Ninharsag brought her feuding brothers Commander Enlil and Enki into the
confrontation between Sarpanit and Inanna.  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, 2002:259].
