PRINCE ALALU KILLS NIBIRU'S KING LAHMA

The Nibirans fought disastrous nuclear wars, then unified under a single, planet-wide kingship.  King Lahma,  King of Nibiru 500,000 years ago, confronted environmental disaster.  Nibiru was losing its atmosphere, critical to heat regulation and survival.

King Lahma vacillated.  Should he nuke the volcanoes to renew the atmosphere?  Or send miners to Solaris' Asteroids, where probes showed gold? His scientists said they could powder and spread gold to hold Nibiru’s atmosphere.  Lahma spent centuries pondering options while Nibiru's precious oxygen bled into space.  [Sitchin, Z., The Lost Book of Enki pages 32 - 33]

       Prince Alalu, exasperated by Lahma’s inaction and desperate to save Nibiru, pushed Lahma off a tower.

ALALU GIVES DAUGHTER TO EA FOR FEALTY FROM ANU

Lahma's heir, Anu, agreed at first to Alalu’s rule.  Alalu and Anu sealed their alliance when Anu's firstborn son, Ea/Enki (whose autobiography, compiled by Sitchin, is the principal authority for our tale), married Damkina, Alalu's Daughter.

Anu had earlier denied his son Ea his bride-to-be, Ninmah.  Anu had decreed Ninmah, another of his children, betrothed to her half-brother Ea. But Ninmah defied Anu and bore Ninurta, a child to still another of Anu's royal children, her brother Enlil.

Enlil was Anu’s legal successor, even though Ea/Enki was Anu’s Firstborn. Enlil was Anu’s legal successor as King of Nibiru because, by their law of succession, Enlil’s mother was Anu’s official wife, whereas Ea’s mother was not his official spouse.  Anu, angry at Ninmah for baring Ninuta to Enlil, forbade her marriage to Ea or anyone else ever.

Enlil, impregnating Ninmah, had thus denied Ea his bride; this was to be the first of an ongoing sequence of frustrations Ea was to suffer due to Enlil.  Anu wed son Ea to Damkina instead of Ninmah.
