CHAPTER 11: Warring Factions Past and Present
Given the rivalry that began to build among the Anunnaki deities over occupied lands, specifically between archrivals Enlil and Enki; Anu scheduled a political visit to arbitrate the conflict. The year was 3760 BCE according to the Sumerian records, and the destination was the Sumerian city of Uruk, the city of King Gilgamesh. Cuneiform records detail the visit in intricate detail. The practical aspects of the trip involved specifically segregating the targeted regions for Anu’s direct reports and their offspring.
The four regions the Anunnaki identified in the records were: the Sinai Peninsula, Mesopotamia, Egypt and South Africa, and the Indus Valley. Enki got the African continent. Marduk remained in his Gateway of the Gods City of Babylon, clearly violating the terms of the territorial segregation having given Mesopotamia to Enlil, as Lord of the Command. Enki’s offspring were expected to move to live within the protection provided in Africa, appears to be the implication which Marduk rejected. This created conflicts, which escalated and eventually led to wars. The incursion on the rival brother’s territory, you will recall from the Atrahasis account, is the reason given by Noah to leave Shuruppak, claiming that Enlil no longer found favor with him and that he would need to move to Africa, Enki’s domain, to avoid conflict.
Marduk maneuvers to avenge his father Enki which subsequently leads to war with Ninurta over Zodiac timing. Conflicting accuracy of solar versus solar-lunar calendars, as implemented by Thoth in the Yucatan, starting August 11, 3114 BCE, triggered the war. This is the Mayan long count start date. Using both the solar and lunar cycle data provided Thoth with a more accurate calendar, one which could help avoid confusion over Zodiacal house boundaries, subsequently averting skirmishes among the current and upcoming heirs to the Niburian allotted throne. Chichén Itzá, the temple of the moon and the sun, is an example of the advanced timekeeping structures built in the Yucatan Peninsula, as eloquently detailed by Sitchin in his book “The Lost Realms” [19]
Biblical Canon and liturgical dogma often represent the covenant that Enlil makes with Abram, renaming him Abraham thereafter, to give his seed the land of Israel. Recall from Genesis:
The Lord’s Covenant With Abram [Genesis 15:1-17 ]
1 After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision:
“Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield,
your very great reward.”
2 But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir.”
4 Then the word of the Lord came to him: “This man will not be your heir, but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir.” 5 He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
7 He also said to him, “I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it.”

12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. 15 You, however, will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age. 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.”
17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces. 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates— 19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.”
As noted, the land that Abraham was to be given was already occupied by several different tribes to include the Hittites and the Canaanites. If a land is given to you but someone is already occupying the region, the gotcha is that Abraham and his successors would be ordered to conduct a genocidal incursion into the region, murdering all that lived in each village, until the entire area had been cleared. What kind of person would sign up to a real-estate deal like that?
Enlil made a covenant with Abram to route the existing occupants of the Levantine via his offspring, not him personally. This was tantamount to genocide, Enki’s offspring were the targets. It is told in the Canonical bible from the Jacob standpoint. What about the Ishmael standpoint in the Qur’an [115]? After all, if a child is going to be sacrificed to God as an offering, abominable to consider in and of itself, why not sacrifice the one that was not in line to be heir, namely Ishmael? The Koran specifies that this was the child taken to Mount Horeb, not Jacob as told the Bible.
How does one ascribe the term “righteous”, as Abram did in verse Genesis 15:6, to the LORD that made the deal with him, at the same time declaring that Abram himself will never make it to the land described in the covenant, but rather he would meet his ancestors first as stated in verse 15. You, however, will go to your ancestors instead of benefitting from our deal. Oh, your offspring will benefit though, after numerous wars based on Enlil’s desire to exterminate any life in the Levantine.
This is one of many examples in which the brothers, or their offspring went to war. Mankind was merely a pawn in the territorial disputes that arose in the region. The skirmishes were not limited to direct conflicts between Enki and Enlil, but rather sprang up among their progeny as well. Enki and Marduk, the great Egyptian gods Ptah and Ra respectively, actively participated in the genetic wars against the Enlilites.
Enki produced prolific and strategic offspring at critical junctures in mankind’s history. In the Enki and Ninharsag Paradise Myth, a strategic conjugal visit occurs in an attempt to spawn a rightful heir. After all, Ninharsag was Enki’s half-sister. In the tale, aspirations to control part of the Sinai Peninsula that contained the relocated space port from Sippar, the
Egyptian pyramids used for navigational and other means, were discussed between the two. Several children were born to Enki, but the offspring from Ninharsag ended up being a girl, disqualified from rulership. He kept trying, producing eight progeny, six females and two males resulted. Each offspring was assigned politically strategic roles designed to subvert, although subtly at times, Enlil’s authority and command. Whoever controlled the space related facilities could access the space vehicles and communications equipment that was the Anunnaki’s only link to their home planet, where critical resources traded hands.
