 | Akkadian Tablet Translations: The Epic of Atrahasis 1/6 Translated by: Dr. Stephanie Dalley, a former teacher of the Akkadian language at the Universities of Edinburgh and Oxford and is now Shillito Fellow in Assyriolology at the Oriental Institute, Oxford and a Senior Research Fellow of Somerville College. She also has worked on various excavations in the Middle East and has published cuneiform tablets found there by the British Archaeological Expedition to Iraq. http://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk/html/staff/?member=dalley ATRAHASIS Atrahasis the wise man, who built an ark and saved mankind from destruction, is a figure of immense prestige and antiquity to whom various literary and religious traditions were attached. He was known by a variety of names and epithets which were translated into different languages, sometimes with reinterpreted meanings, sometimes abbreviated, and in this way his fame spread over huge distances through a span of some five thousand years. In Mesopotamian literature he was the survivor of the Flood, together with his wife, and was granted a form of immortality by the great gods. The story of the Flood was one of the most popular tales of ancient times, and is found in several ancient languages, reworked to suit different areas and cultures so that different settings and details are found in each version. The specific information which follows helps to illustrate how widely diffused the man and the story became in the ancient world. ATRAHASIS IN HISTORY According to one version of the Sumerian king list, in the years just before the Flood swept over the earth, Ubara-Tutu (who is named as the father of Atrahasis in Gilgamesh) was king of Shuruppak, modern Tell Fara in central southern Mesopotamia, where some of the earliest writings known in the whole world have been unearthed. According to a different version of the Sumerian king list, Atrahasis, called there by his Sumerian name Ziusudra, himself ruled the city Shuruppak, preceded by his father who was named like the city, Shuruppak and who was presumably regarded as the eponymous ancestor of the citizens there. A wisdom composition known as The Instructions of Shuruppak is now attested on clay tablets from the Early Dynastic period in the early third millennium bc, and contains sage advice given by Shuruppak to his son Ziusudra. Thus Atrahasis was a notable figure at the dawn of history, and literary tradition was attached to him at an extremely early period. THE NAMES OF ATRAHASIS 'Extra-wise' is the meaning of his name in Atrahasis; he is Ut-napishtim and Uta-na'ishtim in Gilgamesh, a name which can mean 'He found life'. Sumerian Ziusudra is an approximate translation of Akkadian Ut-napishtim together with his epithet, in which the element sudra corresponds to Atrahasis' epithet ruau, 'the far-distant'. The name used by Berossus2 for the survivor of the Flood is Xisuthros, probably a phonetic rendering of Ziusudra. Prometheus, Deucalion's father, may possibly be an approximate Greek translation of Atrahasis, and it is just possible that an abbreviation of (Uta)-na'ish(tim) was pronounced 'Noah' in Palestine from very early times. Atrahasis is also found as the name or epithet of a man who features in a Hittite story about Kumarbi. It has been suggested that the name Ulysses, used by the Romans for Odysseus, comes from the Hittite ullu(ya)s, as a translation of Atrahasis' epithet 'the far-distant', and that the names Odysseus and Outis may be based on a pronunciation of the logogram for Ut-napishtim, which is UD. ZI.3 The name or epithet Atrahasis is used for the skilful god of craftsmanship Kothar-wa-hasis in Ugaritic mythology, and is abbreviated to Chousor in the Greek account of Syrian origins related by Philo of Byblos. A similar abbreviation is used in the name of the Islamic sage Al-khidr (also called al-Khadir), who guarded the Fountain of Life, and gave water from it to King Sakhr (meaning 'rock') who thus became immortal. This episode is related, in one of the Arabian Nights, to the Gilgamesh of Islamic narrative, Buluqiya, who, having travelled through many lands, lost his faithful adviser Affan in a fruitless attempt to obtain the ring of Suleiman, with which he might travel to the Fountain of Life and drink the water of immortality. The name Al-Khidr here bears a new etymology, 'the green one'. Al-khidr as a holy man of Islam is buried at Baniyas on the Golan Heights, where a tributary of the Jordan river gushes out of a rock. In all these appellations it is impossible to distinguish a 'real' name from an epithet. Peace |

 | The true prophecies of the Jehovah Ever wander about the true nature of the Jehovah? Those people have propably approached on your doorstep at 7:30 on a sunday morning begging you to accept their preach to you of salvation and 2 hours introduction. Misconception are being represented, perhaps on behalf of the religious systems around the globe. The Jehova's witesses also fall into the category, hence the fact that people have been lied to deceaved and given dis information for thousands of years. The earth is NOT 6000 years old and we are not and have NEVER been alone in this universe, and soon all will see that as a fact! I am not here to bash on the organisations rather to show people the objective truth, there are many sides of the rubix cube, so we must have an open mind and pay more attention on what your inner heart of conciousness is telling you, but not the slick suited elders who are out there driving luxury cars and own their houses debt free. Like most religious systems, are corrupted, some more than others and have the intent of brainwashing and manipulating the individual mind to a state of mental limitation, or a closed minded reality. My father and half of that side of my family are in the Jehova's witnesses and I have had numerous attempts of being brainwashed, all have failed, due to the fact that I investigate many sides of the similar story. THE REVOLUTION IS NOW! WAKE UP, PLANET EARTH! Alex Collier note on the Jehovah race: The Jehovah The old testament "God" is an extraterrestrial. Is that simple enough? Does everybody get that? The new testament "God" is also an extraterrestrial. They are not one and the same. But, we are just going to deal with the one who the Hebrews call Jehovah. Now, the Andromedans have what we would interpret as a camera, which they use as they travel through space. They take "pictures" of moons, stars, and planets, and this "camera" records things holographically. Depending on the setting, it will also record the actual history of what they are aiming this device at. Passed to Alex Collier by the Andromedans: They have taken many many pictures of our planet, and they have separated this holographic picture into time frames, where they can see and record actual events as they took place. I had a lot of questions about the old and new testaments, and about the person called Jesus. A lot of us have those questions. After all, how is it that a "loving a forgiving God" wants to throw us into an abyss for making mistakes? It's extremely dysfunctional, because fear of doing or not doing throws you into total inaction. Back to Jehovah. Now, the Hebrews are what is left of an ancient tribe of Chaldeans. The word Jehovah, in the original tongue, meant "Is, Was and Will Be". It never meant, at any time, "creator of all things". That meaning was added later. Now, the reason that he was named "Is, Was and Will Be", was that like many races of extraterrestrials, the Jehovah have an extremely long life span. They live thousands of years. The Andromedans, for example, live an average of 2,000 years. Some of them live more than 4,000 years. The Chaldeans were the remnants of the Sumerians. Much of the Hebrew religion and the religion of the Sumerians are similar. The books of Moses do not suggest that Jehovah was the only "Lord of the Elohim" in the area. For some reason, people have just assumed that what they have been historically told by those in power is true. Abraham did consider Jehova to be a "God" because of the technology of the Elohim that he possessed, and used to awe the primitive population. That's all they used -- technology. If you were to take somebody today who had a jukebox, a flashlight, a CD player and a computer, and you brought that person back to the time of the ancient Hebrews and ancient Egypt, that person would be considered a "God" because of the technology. Think about that. Technology was used to strike fear into the people, and they were made to worship to avoid punishment. Many of the "Gods" did the same thing. Marduk, Enki, and En-lil were notorious for doing this. These extraterrestrial (manipulators) also created bigotry, because they each controlled their own groups of people, and each of their offspring procreated with the population of the Earth. [Val Valerian note: Since each of these beings were in competition with each other, earth humans relative to each group were set against each other over time]. According to Morenae and Vissaeus, our native American races are the remnants of the ancient Babylonians that were brought over here by Enki, just prior to the great "flood of Noah". According to the Andromedans, this "flood of Noah", as it is popularly known, was literally a result of the movement of the planet Earth from one rotational orbit to another within the solar system. This movement also added five days to our year. |
 | Archaeological Discoveries - Humanity's Origins (Part 5) This is a very informal special based upon the archaeological finding s of recent times on the origins of mankind. This is one very extraordinary broadcast hosted by Mr. Charlton Heston. This program was brought to the public's eyes by the Emmy Award winning creators of "The Mystery of the Sphinx". We will be thrust forth into the World of the greatest question all of humanity has pondered about for centuries, Where did we come from and how were we created? The teachings of modern evolutionary theories and the rise of humanity will be challenged within this video series. Scientific investigators present a large array of new evidence which the academic community has quietly and swiftly ignored, Did we evolve from the ape? That is simply one example of what will be discussed in this very eye opening documentary. Human bones and fossils have been discovered that predate the dinosaurs. It is now known and proven in this documentary that the bones found completely dismantle the theory of evolution and they are older than what the theory itself allows. Did humans live at the exact time of the dinosaurs? Well it is now known and shown in this incredible video that human footprints have been discovered next to footprintsa of the dinosaurs that date back to over 100 million years ago. Is it possible that the lost city of Atlantis be buried under miles of ice? Ancient maps with hidden clues about the great civilization of Atlantis may hold the key to solving its great mystery. A city that was once a metropolis in the ancient times has been discovered in the Bolivian Andes region and it has been dated approxiamtely to 15,000 B.C. This proof can change the evolutionary theory to absolutely nothing. It can transform all of the textbooks we have in our schools to what we truly must be learning about our orgins and how we came to existence on this beautiful planet. Please go out and do your own research if you do not believe any concept or theory discussed within this wonderful documentary. Knowledge is power and for all of our sakes we must learn the truth about all of the hidden secrets about our existence as well as what is truly going on on this planet and elsewhere in the galaxy. THE TRUTH WILL SET US ALL FREE! Thank you all for watching. |

 | Old Babylonian Tablet Translations: The Epic of Anzu 3/4 Translated by: Dr. Stephanie Dalley, a former teacher of the Akkadian language at the Universities of Edinburgh and Oxford and is now Shillito Fellow in Assyriolology at the Oriental Institute, Oxford and a Senior Research Fellow of Somerville College. She also has worked on various excavations in the Middle East and has published cuneiform tablets found there by the British Archaeological Expedition to Iraq. http://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk/html/staff/eanes/sdalley.html The Epic of Anzu is principally known in two versions. The Old Babylonian version of the early second millennium exists as a small portion of the tale, giving the hero as Ningirsu, a warrior-god who was patron of the city Girsu in central Mesopotamia. That city is chiefly known in the late third millennium from the inscriptions of Gudea, a Sumerian governor who rebuilt Eninnu, Ningirsu's temple, and composed long inscriptions in honour of the event, and from many fine objects found by the French in the excavation of strata which date around that time: the lion-headed eagle Anzu is often depicted on them. However, no Sumerian account of the story is known, and Anzu in the Sumerian Epic of Lugalbanda has a quite different character and role: he is a benevolent bird whose offspring are fed during his absence by the hero of the epic. As far as its fragmentary condition allows us to judge, the Old Babylonian version of Anzu was written in an abbreviated form in which repetitious passages are not written verbatim. Ningirsu is given the title 'the God' or perhaps Tl' in this version. The god Shara also plays a prominent role. He was the patron god of Umma, a city in central Mesopotamia which likewise flourished in the late third millennium and was not important thereafter. The Standard Babylonian version, dating to the first millennium bc, may have consisted of about 720 lines on three four-column tablets. Some were found on the Late Assyrian sites of Nineveh, Tarbisu and Sultantepe, and probably belong to the seventh century bc. Another tablet comes from a museum collection in the USA and is of unknown provenance. It is Late Babylonian, but seems to have followed the Nineveh version closely. In this version the hero is Ninurta whose great cult centre at that time was Kalah, modern Nimrud, one of the Assyrian kings' capital cities in the ninth and eighth centuries bc. The walls of Ninurta's temple there are faced with monumental stone sculptures illustrating a cosmic battle, probably a version of the Anzu epic. The story gives Ninurta the title 'Bel', 'The Lord', equivalent to West Semitic Ba'al. Repeated episodes are written out in full. The colophon to the Tarbisu version implies that the written story was known to the Hur-rians, who were powerful in the mid- to late second millennium and at times controlled Assyria from their cities north-west of Assyria. The story centres around possession of the Tablet of Destinies. The narrative structure is very similar to that of the Epic of Creation, both in the struggle to regain possession by the good gods, and in the pronouncement of names and hypostases for the victorious hero-god. The opening lines of the epic introduce the theme in the first person, representing the singer or poet, and are very closely comparable to the opening lines of Erra and Ishum. Nergal and Ninurta are quite close in some aspects of their characters, and in Erra and Ishum the defeat of Anzu with a net and the conquest of osafcfcu-demons are attributed to Nergal/Erra. The fight of Ninurta to defeat the asa/ckM-demons is known from the mainly Sumerian epic story of cosmic warfare called Lugal-e, and a companion story An-gim. These were very popular tales during both the second and the early first millennia. Sumerian Ninurta is armed with his trusty weapon Sharur; in Anzu Sharur plays a significant role as Ninurta's courier in the field of conflict. In Lugal-e his mother, the great goddess Nin-mah, speaks in support of him and is given the name Ninhursag, just as in Anzu, the mother of Ninurta as Belet-ili or Mami speaks in support of her son and is given the new title 'Mistress of All Gods'. Other epic deeds of Ninurta are known only from passing references: he slew the bull-man in the sea; he slew the six-headed wild ram on the mountain; he slew the seven-headed serpent. The Anzu epic and its ramifications in other tales illustrate how a common stock of narrative themes was used in different stories, and adapted in various places for diverse gods. Peace |
