The #Anunnaki Cannot Be Fully Understood Until You Know This EXTRAORDINARY Information

I knew and the famed Mesopotamian sky God whose given the Anunnaki pantheon such notoriety in modern times has a history that reads like a science fiction movie many now believe the Greek pantheon is just a rendition of the older Mesopotamian Pantheon with our new at the helm it wasn't until much later that I knew was viewed as the father of the gods and ruler of the heavens his position as ruler of the heavens passed to his firstborn and Leo with dire consequences and it's where we get a lot of history from a new is the son of on Chartres and quisha literally meaning heaven and earth who in turn were the second born of the primordial couple OPSEU and Tiamat at the beginning of the world scholars don't know what to make of the ruler of the heavens being a second born it doesn't sound like an all Supreme Being sounding more like a European royal dynasty he was originally a sumerian sky deity known as on which translates as sky the Akkadians later adopted circa 2375 BC as a new heaven the almighty all-powerful Sargon the great of Akkad 23:34 through 2279 BCE speaks avenue and ananna in his writings mostly as legitimizing his rule or assisting him in the conquest as so many people revered I knew you cannot understand anything about the Anunnaki or the Sumerian Pantheon without understanding him and of course his offspring I know is most often represented in symbolism simply by a crown or crown on a throne this iconography symbolizes the status as king of the gods an honor and responsibility later conferred upon and lyl Marduk son of an ki India the god of wisdom and a sewer of the assyrians all of which were profoundly elevated by Anu and thus associated with him his consort is on - also known as or us goddess of the earth and they produce many offspring which are more commonly known as the Anunnaki lesser known as their offspring the two key which permeate the entire Mesopotamian mythology the impact of the Anunnaki and Suki is vast and complex affecting most ancient religions and tying in with so many ancient civilizations although I knew is not featured prominently in many myths he's often mentioned as a background figure this is because his veneration of the god progressed he became more and more distant I knew the sky God was one of the many younger gods born of OPSEU and Tiamat gradually becoming the Lord of the heavens above he was the God who maintained all aspects of existence alongside and Leal and Enki uninformed a trio which ruled the heavens earth and underworld in one version or in another heaven the sky in the earth I know rarely makes an appearance as the main character in mythology but when he's mentioned it's always a significant role via Numa elihss and Anu the sky god the babylonian epic of creation more famously known as a Numa elihss circa 1100 BCE is the epoch regarding of birth of the gods and the formation of the world and subsequently human beings initially there was only the swirling waters of chaos which divided into a male principal OPSEU symbolized by fresh water and a female principal TM on salt water these two deities gave birth to lamu and l'homme known as protective deities and and char and Keshia are who sired the younger guns I know belongs to this younger group and it's in this epoch we get his backstory or place in origins of it all this group is problematic and has little to do and so amused themselves in various ways which come to anger OPSEU he cannot sleep at night for the noise and they distract him during the day he eventually decides after conferring with his Vizier that he must destroy them although the epoch of creation focuses t amount and creation we get an amazing backdrop to a news place in the world Tiamat overhears her husband's deliberation and warns her grandson Enki of the peril after pondering all his options carefully Anke puts OPSEU into a deep sleep and slays him Tiamat is shocked and disowned all the younger gods she quickly assembles an army of monsters to eliminate them the Chu armies thus clash and the younger gods are defeated and retreat again and again at this difficult position a new tries diplomacy with Tia Mott and tries to resolve the problem the younger gods seem to have every faith and a news ability but when a new face is tioman he falls apart and returns to the others to report his failure in the mission a news diplomatic failure nonetheless contributes to the younger God's ultimate victory the gods were so confident of a new success and when their hope was disappointed they come to realise they must change their habits the old paradigm must go and they must accept change or find a new way of attaining their goal Marduk the son of Anki comes forward to offer himself as their Savior only if they will elect him their king martyred defeats the champion of Tiamat and slays her but he would not have risen to the challenge if I knew had not failed in his diplomacy I knew then uh sure xin the new era which allows for the ultimate victory of the gods once piece has been reestablished maar Duke and his father said about the business of creation and the world and subsequently human beings are established the inoue elihss is sometimes called these seven tablets of creation the many versions always describe the creation of human beings from a Mesopotamian perspective the story was found on multiple tablets that dated back to approximately 1100 BCE although indications show that the stories themselves existed much earlier than that archeologists discovered them at the Nineveh libraries although the creation myth follows the same basic path no matter which part of Mesopotamia comes from the names of the gods and other players differ whether the precise recording was from Babylon or Sumer the copies discovered and well researched come from Babylon which makes Mar Duke who was considered the patron god of that civilization one of the important characters in the story if a Sumerian copy was found for example he may not have been mentioned quite as much the animal ish is the best depiction we have of the dynamic interactions of the Enki verses and Lil Saga it tells the story of how Angie and and Leo the Divine Brothers who first decided to create humankind as a labor force or serving class it also deals with how the gods came to be the creation of the universe and the world and every other detail that any classic creation myth would include the creation of everything this Babylonian creation myth is often considered the oldest story that exists in the entire world it tells a tale of creation that's echoed through the millennia even religions still practice in this current time in the beginning there was nothing but a fast swirl of water flowing through chaotic nothingness the first thing that happened was that salt water characterized by qiyamat the dragon goddess and fresh water characterized by the god OPSEU divided as soon as they split apart they came back together again to become the parents of additional gods OPSEU apparently enjoyed sleeping peacefully and found that younger gods were too noisy and boisterous decided to eliminate them all Tiamat warns ng their eldest son who lulls his father to sleep and eliminates him instead Tiamat who did not expect this type of outcome gets very angry with the younger gods and begins a battle against them she hands over the tablets of destiny to her top adviser King GU who champions her in battle she also creates monsters to attack her sons and other rebellious gods finally Marduk's shows up bargains for ultimate power if he stops King goo and Tiamat and ends up defeating both the story goes that he shot the dragon goddess with an arrow and when she cried out in pain her tears form the Tigris and Euphrates rivers her body becomes the earth and heaven surrounding it when the conflict is over mardukan slaves the eleven monsters directs various younger gods to take care of certain responsibilities and seizes the tablets of destiny for himself as a final act of payback Marduk and the High God iya Enki decide to create humankind from King goos body and clay of the earth parallels with judeo-christian stories as may see mommy as the creation myth influenced the judeo-christian one to some degree Hebrew scribes use the concept of a void without form and a God that created the earth waters heavens and finally humankind in turn when Mesopotamian archaeology increased in the 19th century historians quickly discovered that the book of Genesis was not the oldest creation story in existence other biblical stories such as Noah and the flood and the fall of man existed in Mesopotamian times - they first appeared in Sumer were translated into ancient Babylonian transferred to the Assyrians and finally fell into the hands of Hebrews the passage of folklore through time and across locations has long been common events throughout history of course many differences exist between the story of a dragon queen and the blood of a conquered odd and the tales told of the monolithic God in the bible i knowa elihss describes many different aspects of the creation tale that did not make their way into the story shared by the Hebrews they edited heavily they focused on just one all-powerful God that created everything out of a chaotic universe this parallels Marduk most of all especially when it comes to the expectations of humankind to worship and thank the gods for their gift of life the priesthood of Marduk in the mid-1700s BCE the people of Babylon turned to Marduk more and more as their reference for worship and religious practices prior to this they'd focused on the goddess and Nana this heralded in a time of gods replacing goddesses as some of the most prominent deities of the time as Babylon got stronger they believed that aligning themselves with the most powerful God would help their future the priesthood of Marduk expanded as political and economic power grew in Babylon as times change so two stories eventually the creation myth began to push the idea that Marduk was the only king and any of the other named deities existed only as parts of him to celebrate the new year and mardukan general many people would read from the Anu mulisch sing songs of praise and glorify statue of this God and enshrine him in a special small house or temple among the first humans created are those skilled and wisdom and one of the very adept is Adama the myth of Adama and the meeting with Anu the myth of Adama 14th century BCE tells the amazing story of the first man a creation of eggie he was bestowed with eggy's wisdom although Enki adores his creation he admits that he cannot give him everything otherwise he would be a god and so he holds back on immortality Adama has wisdom as his main trait but with this wisdom he understands he will die one day and nothing he can do can change that content with what he has and his priestly duties at eera do and Enki's temple he hunts and fishes and amuses himself this is the backdrop to what has become known as the myth of Adama which many have now recognized is the exact same theoretically as the Adam and Eve scenario the adopted story is so central to Mesopotamian mythology and the religion its oldest copy was mysteriously found as far as a can athon city of Amarna in egypt the myth of Adama and the food of life alongside all the other ancient stories of gods goddesses and humans comes the myth of Adama which tells of the fall of man and their existence as mortal beings the first human ever created by iya was named Adama this god of wisdom shares his gift with the man which makes him intelligent and mentally sharp another major God Anu offers the gift of immortality but iam manipulate siddhappa to decline this story from long before the judeo-christian Bible was created has some direct influence on the story of Adam and Eve they lost their place in the Garden of Eden because they ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge Adama also received wisdom although as a gift instead of a discretion was refused immortality just as Adam and Eve were forced to abandon their perfect home and continue their lives as mortal humans the problem with both Adam and Eve and the myth of a tapa was the assumed competition between the humans and the gods Yahweh did not want his creations to be equal to him he also did not appreciate the idea that a doll will have all the benefits of godhood - this myth is a story about keeping mortals in their place and maintaining control of power the main character in this story is a king named Adama who comes from a reduced City on a fishing trip a strong gust blew up and knocked him overboard into the ocean enraged at losing his boat and getting all wet he battled against the south wind and broke its wing the wind which needed to recuperate for seven full days was not able to create any air movement during that time I knew the god of the sky got quite angry and demanded that adopted give him an explanation before appearing in front of a new iya tells the man what to say and gave some tips on proper behavior when visiting the gods domain iya leads adop astray with bad information however because he doesn't want to risk the King getting a hold of the food of life that would grant him immortality iya suspects that Anu will offer these things to the man and he can't let that happen the instructions he gives to the mortal visitor are all wrong the first bit of information refers to a pair of guardians named deshita and Tammuz iya suggests that they are more likely to let him pass if he offers them compliments and says he knows them well then he should meet with Anu and refuse food and drink because as iya falsely reveals it would seriously harm him instantly this High God convinces a Doppler that the sky god is quite angry about the wind and will punish him quite severely iya does suggest that any clothing or oil given to him would be perfectly okay to accept this way he will not offend the sky God again the whole group of instructions was nothing but lies and misdirections however Adama follows all of his directions refuses the gift of immortality that he would have gotten from the food of life returns to earth to live out the rest of his days unfortunately the last tablet that tells the story has been broken over the centuries and makes it difficult to understand the ending this leaves the myth of a tapa opened jus some interpretation while many researchers agree that iya wanted to trick the King into not accepting the immortality others say that ia's caution was quite sincere he may have genuinely believed that I knew would punish the man for breaking the winds wing logically it makes sense that someone who attacked the wind would not receive gifts from the sky God the more serious possibility does not seem to align with a news request that ad Apple come for a visit and offer an explanation the story does not seem particularly volatile or violent in any way when taken with the understanding of the prideful God and the folklore that trickled down to civilizations after Mesopotamia the original description seems to make more sense özil story includes the line why is e a' revealed to impure mankind the heart of heaven and earth that demonstrates a news willingness to award a Dhamma and wonderment about why he would act against it the puzzlement he demonstrates when the King refuses the gift does not seem to align with any nefarious plans or revenge opportunities the myth of adam and the food of life originated in babylon during the years when the Kassite tribe controlled the area this was in the 1400s BCE various iterations of this general story passed down through the years and traveled around the area of the Persian Gulf for example a writer named Berossus shared a similar tale around 300 BCE about a demigod named Ilana's who lived as a half man and half fish some parts of the story are quite similar to the much older Adama tell especially in the fact that the main character was quite wise and shared his wisdom with surrounding people it seems that the gods and goddesses and many cultural and religious histories created human kindness compatriots and mere equals however when push came to shove the deities grew fearful or arrogant enough to deny the people godlike immortality Anke understands that human beings cannot be like the gods because that would upset the natural order adopem must remain mortal must stay in this place for creation and function as it should be in another story the atrocities are about to see is established that humans are created with limited lifespans by the will of the gods in offering immortality to adopt a new is upsetting the natural order but he makes the offer because of his compassion he feels it's a disservice to adopt to have them wise enough to recognize his mortality but unable to do anything to escape death this compassion and understanding are characteristic of Anu as he was seen in Anu malysh where he tries to bring peace through diplomatic negotiation instead of continued war the atrocity ale of the Great Flood in a story that predates the judeo-christian Testaments the Babylonian civilization shared a dramatic tale of a massive flood delivered by the gods with the intention to kill all humans and other life on earth the later biblical tale of Noah and the Ark follows the plot quite specifically in the story of a trois a man by that name received a warning from the gods to build a gigantic boat for himself his family and animals that lived on the land following the gods directions this man toiled to construct the vessel gathered together the people and animals as requested and climbed aboard to weather the massive storm the so called a trois aspec was found to come from around 1645 to 16 26 BCE during these years king Hammurabi's great-grandson ruled in Babylon his name was a Mesa dukkha even at that time the story was well known and considered a legend of the day prior to these dates all legends and tales would have been spoken and not written down there's considerable evidence that this Babylonian flood story had made the rounds for quite some time before it was ever recorded Sumeria had its own version of the flood story it was called era due Genesis and hailed from a time even before at rasa's lived the first recorded instance of this was in the early years of the 17th century BCE if you travel back even further in time you find a report of a massive flood somewhere around 2100 to 1500 BCE in one of the earliest stories ever recorded the Epic of Gilgamesh the fact that this flood story touched so many different cultures over hundreds of years seems to indicate that the event actually happened in fact the chance of a worldwide flood so terrifying that it destroyed life on earth as we know it is so slim as to be unbelievable however the Mesopotamian Sumerian and Babylonian civilizations all existed in and around the Fertile Crescent this part of the ancient world was neatly tucked between the Tigris and Euphrates River there's no doubt that if both of these flooded it would seem like a worldwide disaster to the people of the time in truth flooded rivers are not all that odd there's archaeological evidence that clearly indicates the people living in that region had to deal with floods on a relatively regular basis these natural disasters may have continued to fuel the story of the great flood through the generations whatever someone suggests that the floods were actually more widespread especially in conjunction with the biblical Noah's Flood geologists and other scientists are quick to step up and mention that there's no genuine evidence of flooding that spread far beyond the Mesopotamian valley the stories themselves follow the same basic structure it all started with the gods creating humankind help them do the work of keeping the earth running as necessary in these ancient cultures different tiers of God's existed the older ones were generally more powerful and could make the younger weaker ones do tasks for them when the young gods got fed up with all that heavy toil of you and the older deities got together and created 14 people equally split between male and female unlike the latter judeo-christian stories in which God created just one man and one woman it seemed the Mesopotamians thought it more appropriate to start off with a larger community of helpers for the gods finally the gods could relax and leave all the heavy lifting to the people who lived on the ground unfortunately that people procreated too quickly and ended up being noisy and annoying this led the top God and leal to attempt to reduce their numbers first with a drought famine and pestilence and finally a massive flood one of the chief architects of humanity a god named Enki took pity on the wise one at rasa's and tipped him off of the impending doom the details about how atrocity Noah survived on the ark for so long with all those animals on board are dim it fast most of these morality tales involve more pointed meeting than excellent Asians intricate descriptions of the storms and the reactions of the gods and godesses filled the time between the first raindrop and the final deliverance of the saved humans and animals many of the gods and goddesses considered the flood to be a bad idea and mourn the loss of their human creations and leo is both angry at Aggie for saving at Ross's and sorrowful that everyone else died after quite a bit of discussion the deities agreed that they'll just make people who cannot create offspring quite so fast infertile women dedicated virgins and demons who will steal babies the legendary descriptions of these final got the decisions undoubtedly explained away some of the natural phenomenon associated with low infant mortality and fertility in general in those early days most suffering ended up with more profound meaning than simple biology the epoch of a trois s and all the subsequent flood stories were created for the same reason that many ancient tales came to be first it offered an explanation for some of the natural phenomenon and human problems that the people in those long ago civilizations dealt with second a moral warning for people to behave in a manner their gods and goddesses desired for them finally they promoted faith and understanding in the face of difficult times perhaps these reasons are why the epic tale of a massive flood sent by the gods has reverberated throughout history from the earliest days of civilization onward I knew the highest God of all gods I knew his benevolence infused the other gods as he himself withdrew higher and higher into the heavens he was finally seen as the master creator behind all the workings of the universe but distanced from both humanity and the other gods the only deity you had access to Anu was his son and Leo who gradually took on his father's characteristics and power even after and Leo became more popular however I knew continued to be venerated throughout the country in the city of a roof where Anana was the patron deity Anu was honored by a large temple which continued in operation from circa 2000 BCE to circa 150 BCE and served as an astronomical observation in library ahem - I knew from early in this period illustrates the high regard he was accorded them reads in part o Prince of the gods whose utterance rule authority of the Gods Lord of the Horned crown which is marvelously splendid now travel as hither and thither on the raging storm thou standest in the royal company to be admired as a king anti word of the gods cast themselves on the ground in a body like a reed on the stream they command blows like the wind and causes food and drink to thrive at the word the angry gods turned back to their habitations may all the gods of heaven and earth appear before thee with gifts and offerings may the kings of the countries bring to the heavy tribute may men stand before the daily with sacrifices prayers and adorations to aruch thy City do thou show abundant favor oh great God Anu avenge thy City and hostile lands even though he was eventually prayed to less and less directly he was still considered the power behind the power of the gods offerings continued to be brought to his temple at a route long after he was no longer associated closely with the daily lives of the people scholars Stephen Bertman writes I knew was the agust and revered chairman of the board of the Mesopotamian Pantheon his name literally meant heaven he was the supreme source of authority among the gods and among men upon whom he conferred kingship as heavens grand patriarch he dispensed justice and controlled the laws known as the mat that governed the universe when the Assyrian Empire fell in 612 BCE many of the Mesopotamian gods associated with their rule were abandoned the Assyrians had taken characteristics of many different gods for their own the best example of this is their great God a sewer ashore and those who felt they'd suffered under Assyrian rule vent their frustration and vengeance on a Syrian cities temples and the statues of the gods some gods continued to be acknowledged however and I knew was among these worship of a new continued into the Hellenistic period of Mesopotamian history and throughout his association with Marduk on up to circa 141 BCE when the Parthian z' controlled the region as the father of the gods I knew holds a key role in the mythology and its effects on literature and beliefs that followed records of a new date back to at least 3000 BC making him one of the oldest of the gods Anu came to be regarded as the father and king of the gods Anu is so prominently associated with the city of Erik in southern Babylonia that there are good reasons for believing this place to have been the original seat of the ANU cult if this be correct then the goddess Nana or Ishtar of Erik was presumably regarded as his consort the purely theoretical character of Ainu is thus still further emphasized and in the annals and votive inscriptions as well as the incantations and hymns he's rarely introduced as an active force to him a personal appeal can be made his name becomes little more than a synonym for the heavens in general and even his title as king or father of the Gods has lost a little of the personal element in it [Music] [Applause]

No need to understand the Anunnaki, they're not real
