Marduk

Sargon, the first great leader of the Akkadian dynasty, which succeeded theSumerians, attributed his knowledge to the god Anu, while the Babylonian king Hammurabi was said tohave gained power through Marduk, again a reference to the accounts of the Anunnaki.

Reinforcements later arrived under the leadership of Enki’sfirstborn son, Marduk.

When exalted Anu, king of the divinities [the Anunnaki], and Enlil, lord of heaven and earth, thedeterminer of the destinies of the land, determined for Marduk, the first-born of Enki, thedominion over the whole of humankind, made him the greatest among the deities, called Babylonby its exalted name, made it supreme in the world, and established for him in its midst an eternalkingship, whose foundations are as firm as heaven and earth, then it was that Anu and Enlilnamed me, Hammurabi, the devout and god-fearing prince, to promote the welfare of the people,to cause justice to prevail in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil, that the strong mightnot oppress the weak, to rise like the sun over the black-headed people, and to light up the land.

… The creation of man was recorded on the sixth tablet, while the seventh wasreserved for the exaltation of the Babylonian national deity Marduk, the 'creator god.’ After my own studyof these chronicles, I concurred with Sitchin’s findings.

According to the Sumerian texts, Enki’s firstborn son, Marduk, gained sovereignty over the lands ofEgypt and became known as Ra.

In a story reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, the Sumerian stories tell of a granddaughter of Enlil namedInanna, who married the youngest son of Enki, Dumuzi, with the wary blessing of both feuding families.But when Dumuzi was killed after being taken into custody by Enki’s firstborn son, Marduk, or Ra, forviolating the Anunnaki moral code, Inanna attacked Marduk/Ra.

To stop this conflict, Marduk was tried for Dumuzi’s death.

As it could not be proven whether the deathhad been deliberate or accidental, and because Marduk/Ra was proclaimed a god, it was decided tosentence him to life imprisonment in a huge, impenetrable place whose walls reached the skies.

Sitchinidentified Marduk’s prison as none other than the Great Pyramid.

He wrote that his translations of theSumerian texts explained that the curious well shaft within the Great Pyramid—a puzzling hand-hewedtunnel connecting the pyramid’s Descending Passage to its Ascending Passage—was dug to bypass thelarge granite stone that plugs the Ascending Passage in an attempt to rescue Marduk, who escaped buteventually returned.

Despite Marduk’s punishment, Inanna was far from satisfied, as she, too, wanted power.

With the fall of Sargon and the Akkadian empire, Marduk slipped from exile and attempted to regain hissovereignty over Babylon sometime before the year 2000 BC.

But alliances quickly shifted, and Enlil andInanna aligned their forces against Marduk and his father Enki.

Marduk also faced a crushing defectionfrom his son Nergal, who joined Enlil.

Genesis 14:14-16 alludes to the fact that Abraham also commanded armed troops—according to thebiblical text, he took 318 “trained men” to rescue his nephew Lot and his family from an invadingcoalition of armies under Marduk, as Marduk had been maneuvering to retake the Sinai space port fromthe north.

Instead of a full retreat, Marduk stopped to sack the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in the SiddimValley, which lies on the southern edge of the Dead Sea.

Enlil and his sons, fearing Marduk’s power, persuaded Anu to allow the use of seven mighty weapons,now believed by many to have been tantamount to tactical nuclear missiles, against Marduk/Ra.Meanwhile, the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah felt betrayed by their Enlilite “gods,” who had failed toprotect them from the invading coalition, so they switched their allegiance to Marduk, in essence, sealingtheir doom

In addition to the devastation of Sodom and Gomorrah, the ancient tablets recount how the Sinaispaceport also was targeted for nuclear destruction, apparendy to prevent it from falling into Marduk’shands.

The last of these was Horns, the son of Osiris, called by the Greeks Apollo.” As indicated in the comparison chart, Osiris was the Egyptian name for the Anunnaki god Enki, meaning that his son, Horus, would have been Marduk to the Sumerians and Ares to the Greeks, who was the god of war.

Is it just coincidence that Marduk began the great civil war between the Anunnaki?
