EN.KI4 (ANU3,ANSHAR22,APSU1)
{aka E.A, SAMA.EL, Hea, Nudimmud, Ptah, Lord Earth, Archetype,
The Lord Of Firm Ground, The Lord Of The Seas And Oceans, He
Whose House Is Water, The Deep, The God Of The Lower Regions,
The God Of The House Of Water, The Lord Of The City Of Eridu}
EN.KI was the firstborn son of ANU; as such, he should have
inherited the dominion over the Earth. EN.KI was originally the
Lord of the Earth, being the one who made the first settlement
of this planet (at Eridu - i.e. House in faraway built) around
445,000 B.C., according to present-day reckoning. The purpose of
establishing a settlement on Earth at Eridu (the first Earth
Station) was to set up gold mining operations. At that time, he
would have been known as the Lord Of Firm Ground.
But after the settlements were
established, ANU sent his son, EN.LIL to govern the Earth and
redirected EN.KI to rule the ABZU or 'netherworld' (sometimes
mistranslated as the 'abyss' or the underworld, or at times as
the abysmal oceans and referred to as Hades by the Greeks). As HEA, EN.KI is often compared to the Greek god,
Kronos. He is
also identified with the god, Poseidon because of the
mistranslation of the word, Abzu. In Egyptian mythology, EN.KI
was known as Ptah, "the Developer."
EN.KI raped his sister, NIN.HUR.SAG in an attempt to gain a male
heir. When she bore a daughter, NIN.SAR, EN.KI in turn, raped
her. She, likewise bore a daughter. NIN.KUR, whom EN.KI raped in
an attempt to gain a male heir. NIN.KUR bore a daughter, UT.TU,
whom EN.KI raped. UT.TU bore eight trees as children to EN.KI,
but he consumed them and was cursed by NIN.HUR.SAG for his
actions. The curse gave to EN.KI a wound for each of the 'tree
children' that he had killed. EN.LIL and a fox entreated
NIN.HUR.SAG to reconsider her punishment of EN.KI.
In the end, NIN.HUR.SAG relented,
and bore unto EN.KI eight new children, each empowered to heal
one of his wounds. It was by NIN.KI {aka Damkina, Davkina, Davke,
The Consort Of The Deep}, the daughter of ALALU, his
'legitimate' wife, that EN.KI gained a son, who was named
MAR.DUK. In certain texts, it is claimed that NIN.KI was none
other than NIN.HUR.SAG. EN.KI and a concubine named DUT.TUR gave
birth to a son, DU.MUZI (by certain scholars, believed to have
been the son of ISH.KUR and SHALA).
To alleviate the need for the Anunnaki to labor on Earth, EN.KI
and his half-sister, NIN.HUR.SAG, are believed to have created
the first human, the ADAMA (i.e. earthling). According to a
scenario proposed by Zecharia Sitchin in his 1976 book,
The 12th
Planet, the Anunnaki established a settlement on the planet
Earth for the purpose of mining gold. After toiling for forty
'periods', the Anunnaki mutinied and demanded relief. They
approached EN.LIL begging for relief, but he did not want to
satisfy their requests, so they called on ANU to provide relief.
EN.KI, invariably the Anunnaki's protagonist, suggested that
a lullu (i.e. a primitive worker, aka the Lullu Amelu) be created
to bear the work.
According to the Sumerian texts, the decision to create the Lullu was agreed upon by all the Nephilim - the gods and
goddesses who made up the Anunnaki assembly. The writers of the
Judeo-Christian Bible borrowed much from the Sumerian texts.
But in the process of converting the
pantheon of gods into the single Deity of
Yahweh, the writers
sometimes made 'errors' and allowed the pluralistic origins of
the Deity surface. In regard to the creation of mankind, the
writer of the Book of Genesis made such as error when he stated,
in Chapter I, verse 26:
"And God said, Let
us make man
in our image, after our likeness..."
"So God created man in his own
image, in the image of God created he him: male and female
created he them."
And again, in Genesis 5:1 and 5:2,
we find a parallel account, in which it is stated that:
"In the day that God created
man, in the likeness of God he made him. Male and female
created he them; and blessed them, and called their name
Adam...".
The word used in Genesis 1:26 to
name the Deity was Elohim, which denotes the plural of 'deity'.
Later, in regard to the incident in which Adam and Eve partake
of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil, the
plural of El (i.e. God) - Elohim, is again used in which the
Deity, apparently speaking to others of His own kind, stated, in
Chapter III, verse 22:
"And the Lord God said, Behold, the man
is become as one of us, to know good and evil."
The process whereby mankind - Homo sapiens sapiens (i.e. the Lullu, the 'one that is mixed') was created, was by genetically
altering the Homo erectus beings that inhabited the Earth prior
to the coming of the Anunnaki. But rather than being a
'creation' in the strictest sense of the word, the method by
which EN.KI and NIN.HUR.SAG brought the ADAMA into existence was
by infusing the Nephilim / Anunnaki life blood (i.e. the nephesh,
or soul) into the beings which already inhabited the Earth - the
prehistoric Homo erectus.
It should here be noted that the
life which inhabited this planet, prior to the arrival of
the
Nephilim, may have actually originated on the home planet of the
Nephilim, Nibiru (according to the Sumerians, but referred to as
The Twelfth Planet by Zecharia Sitchin), and been deposited on
this planet when it collided with Nibiru. Therefore, the life
forms, including the 'caveman', Homo erectus, would have been
genetically compatible with the life forms of Nibiru.
In the most basic terms, the
semen/sperm of EN.KI was introduced into the egg of an Homo
erectus female in the process known today as
cross-fertilization, and the fertilized egg, the embryo, was
then inserted into NIN.KI's womb where it was nourished by her
blood and grew into the ADAMA, which EN.KI named Adapa. The
ADAMA was the first man - or rather, the first of a kind - Home
sapiens sapiens. This first human being would be referred to, in
later times, and by the spiritual descendants of the Sumerians -
the Judeo-Christians, as Adam. EN.KI and NIN.HUR.SAG then
created KHAWA, who would later be known as Eve.
The Adama and the Khawa were not the only beings created by
EN.KI and NIN.HUR.SAG. The Sumerian
Atra-Hasis epic stated that EN.KI and NIN.HUR.SAG / NIN.KI created fourteen additional
humans, seven male and seven female, and inserted the
genetically altered embryos into the wombs of 'birth goddesses'
where they would mature. The Sumerian texts state that the
beings which the Anunnaki created were 'the black-haired people'
- who were the Sumerians, themselves.
Certain authorities believe that
these fourteen hu.mannan were created before the ADAMA;
certain others maintain that they came afterward. Those who are
of the opinion that the fourteen were created first base that
opinion on the assumption that they were test subjects and
suffered from abnormalities that prevented them from functioning
properly. It has been suggested by some scholars that the
ability to reproduce is what differentiated the ADAMA and the
KHAWA from the earlier created earthlings.
EN.KI introduced the knowledge of the domestication of animals
to the earthlings following the Deluge.
According to the Jewish Midrash, a collection of ‘inquiries’
into the history and essence of the Jewish religion, EN.KI was
known as Samael, the serpent. He was known in Chaldean tradition
as Shaitan. It was EN.KI who appeared as a serpent to KHAWA /
EVE and told her that EN.LIL had deceived her and ADAPA / ADAM
in regard to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. EN.LIL
did not want the created earthlings to possess such knowledge,
and had warned them to eat of any fruit except that of the Tree
of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, for if they ate of it, they
would die.
EN.KI, having been one of the
creators of the earthlings, and wanting them to survive and
multiply, informed KHAWA of EN.LIL’s deceit, telling her that
she and ADAPA would not die, but be aware of their existence and
of their status in relation to the Nephilim – the ‘gods.’ When
the Jewish religion was being devised, and the ‘gods’ were being
transformed into a single ‘god,’ the encounter in the Garden of
Eden between EN.KI and KHAWA was transformed to glorify EN.LIL
rather than EN.KI, and the concept of an evil, tempting
adversary, the Satan, was instituted. The name SAMAEL comes from
the Akkadian term, SAMA.EL, meaning ‘King of SAMA,’ a kingdom in
northern Mesopotamia.

NIN.HUR.SAG4 (ANU3,ANSHAR2,APSU1)
{aka KI, Nin.Mah, Nin.Khur.Sag, Nin.Igiku, Ma.Mi, and in a few
instances - Nin.Ki} As the daughter of ANU and KI, NIN.MAH was
known as the Lady of the Mountain, or Lady Earth. The title
would eventually evolve into that form used to this day - Mother
Earth. She received the name by which she was more widely known,
NIN.HUR.SAG, following the Deluge, when she was granted the
region which is today known as the Sinai Peninsula. NIN.MAH /
NIN.HUR.SAG was the chief medical officer of the Anunnaki.

EN.LIL4 (ANU3,ANSHAR2,APSU1)
{aka Ilu, Ilu Kur-Gal, Eloh, El Elyon, The Lofty One, The Lord
Of The Air, The Lord Of The Airspace, Guardian Of The Table Of
Destinies} EN.LIL bore one child by his sister, NIN.HUR.SAG, and
others by his legitimate wife, NIN.LIL. NIN.LIL, {aka SUD}, the
daughter of Hiah and Nidaba (aka Nunbarshegunu), was known as
The Nurse. In regard to EN.LIL's relationship to the Anunnaki,
and later to the Adama creation, he functioned in a rather
antagonistic role. (See
the entry for EN.KI)
He was not in agreement with EN.KI's
creation of the Adama, primarily because of the frequency with
which the earthlings were reproducing. Prior to the Deluge,
EN.LIL attempted to curb the increase of the earthlings by
introducing diseases to them. Following the Deluge, EN.LIL
treated the earthlings with greater patience, and even imparted
the understanding of agriculture to them. EN.LIL assumed the
powers and status of his father, ANU, and was sometimes referred
to as the 'Father Of The Gods.' EN.LIL corresponds to the God of
Israel {aka
El Elyon, Jehovah, El Shaddai, Allah, El Of The
Mountain}, who is worshipped to this present day by Jews,
Christians and Moslems. The word, Eloh, derives from
Ilu, one of
the names of EN.LIL.
The Mesopotamian name for EN.LIL was
ILU KUR.GAL, which translates into 'Great Mountain Lord.' It was
the tradition of EN.LIL the El Elyon which Abraham, from Ur 'of
the Chaldees', carried with him from Mesopotamia to Canaan. It
was also El the El Elyon who Abraham's descendants followed and
eventually came to worship as the monotheistic god, Jehovah, the
'I am that I am'. In the Book of Exodus, Chapter 6, verse 3, it
states,
"And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am
the
Lord: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob,
by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not
known to them."
The name by which Abraham knew this
being, the God Almighty, was El Shaddai, which translates into
'El of the Mountain'. It was, of course, simply a variation of
the name Ilu Kur.Gal. The emergence of the concept of Jehovah
from EN.LIL was accompanied by a few changes in His basic
nature. While EN.LIL was not immortal, Jehovah was identified as
'everlasting to everlasting.' While EN.LIL was believed to
descend from earlier 'gods', the Anunnaki, who from heaven came
down to earth, Jehovah was claimed to have been the one and only
god in existence. The transformation was, undoubtedly, an
attempt to elevate EN.LIL higher than any of the other Anunnaki.

GI.BIL4 (ANU3,ANSHAR2,APSU1)
{aka The Fire God, He Who Burns The Soil} GIBIL was the god of
fire. He was associated with witchcraft and the casting of
spells. GI.BIL was knowledgeable in 'wisdom'. The Akkadian word
for 'wisdom', nimiku, refers to mining metals. Therefore, GI.BIL
was knowledgeable in mining techniques.
