Essay 40  GODS NUKE SINAI SPACEPORT BEFORE LEAVING EARTH TO MARDUK

Narrative (Essay 40) Resumes 

The council, save Enki, agreed that since they were to abandon Earth to the rule of Marduk and Nabu, they’d deny them the Spaceport in the Sinai. So it was that the senior Anunnaki--all except Enki--agreed to use nuclear weapons stop Nabu's advance through Canaan toward the spaceport. [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 308]

2024 BC, Ninurta attacked the Sinai.   "The first terror weapon [a missile called One Without Rival] from the skys Ninurta let loose; the top of Mount Mashu [where the controlling equipment was housed] with a flash it sliced off, the mount’s innards in an instant it melted. Above the Place of the Celestial Chariots [rocketships] the second weapon [called Blazing Flame] he unleashed, with a brilliance of seven suns the plain’s rocks into a gushing wound were made, the Earth shook and crumbled, the heavens after the brilliance were darkened; with burnt and crushed stones was the plain of the chariots covered, of all the forests that the plain had surrounded, only tree stems were left standing." [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 310] *

Nergal bombed his brother Marduk's forces in Canaan [Enki sired both Marduk and Nergal; [sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, pages 315 - 316]: Nergal nuked Sodom, Gomorra and three other cities Ibruum had identified as allied with Marduk.  Nergal's nukes made the Dead Sea dead. To this day, "the water of springs surrounding the Dead Sea has been contaminated with radioactivity, ‘enough to induce sterility..in any animals and humans that absorbed it...’" Archeologists confirm the flooding, abandonment of the area and sudden deadening of life in 2024BC. "Over the five cities ... Erra [Nergal] upon each from the skies a terror weapon sent, the five cities he finished off, all that lived there to vapor [erroneously called "salt" by translators] was turned. ... Mountains toppled, where the sea waters were barred the bolt broke open, down into the valley the sea’s waters poured, by the waters was the valley flooded."  [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 311].

*  Sitchin [http://www.sitchin.com/evilwind.htm] writes that, starting in 1999, scientists found evidence that the depopulation of Sumer coincided with abrupt climate change [See Science, April 27, 2001 and Geology, April 2000]. DeMenocal, who wrote the article in Science cited in brackets above, used as evidence for the abrupt changes in the area’s vegetation, rocks called tephera. Tephera are "burnt-through pieces of blackened gravel-like rock" usually associated with volcanos. Tephera still cover Sinai--which lacks volcanos. Sinai’s tephera result from Ninurta's bombing of the spaceport.  The bombing left a huge black scar on the Sinai plain (where the shuttlecraft runway and launch platform had been) so large it can only be seen from satellite. Millions of black-blasted rocks, north northeast of the scar in an area where all other color rocks--no black--are found. [See photos, The Wars of Gods and Men, 1985, pages 332-334]
