Welcome to my Library of tablets and scrolls dedicated to historical and academic pursuits. Here you will find the tablets I have written along with manuscripts I have acquired for my collection from other Ancient world citizens. There is also a collection of postings I have made to historical and academic boards. My particular historical interests in Ancient Mesopotamia are...
* The gods * Sacred Tablets * Ugarit cuniform * Kish, Eridu and Ur * Temple Rituals * Enki and Marduk

THE GODS
They are the immortals of the heavenly sphere. 'Those who from heaven to earth came,' having the same needs and passions as mortals. Celestial lords who became kings of the earth, they had their own temple palaces each with their own worshipers and servants. At the beginning of each year on the feast day of Zag.muk they would gather in the great assembly hall called the Upshukina. And there in that grand assembly of the gods they would proclaim men's destiny and determine the fates.

ENKI DECREES THE FATES OF SUMER AND UR
"O Sumer, great land, of the lands of the universe, filled with steadfast brightness, the people from sunrise to sunset obedient to the divine decrees.
Thy decrees are exalted decrees, unreachable. Thy heart is profound, unfathomable. Thy..is like heaven, untouchable.
The king, begotten, adorns himself with lasting jewel, The lord, begotten, sets crown on head. Thy lord is an honored lord; with An, the king, he sits in the shrine of heaven. Thy king is the great mountain, the father Enlil,like..the father of all the lands. The Anunnaki, the great gods, In thy midst have taken up their dwelling place. In thy large groves they consume their food.
O house of Sumer, may thy stables be many, may thy cows multiply, May thy sheepfolds be many, may thy sheep be myriad. May thy..stand. May thy steadfast..lift hand to heaven. May the Anunnaki decree the fates in thy midst."
Ea-Enki
TO UR HE CAME, ENKI, KING OF THE ABYSS, DECREES ITS FATE:
"O city, well-supplied, washed by much water, firm standing ox. Shrine of abundance of the land, knees opened, green like the 'mountain, Hashur-forest, wide shade..heroic. Thy perfected decrees he has directed. The great mountain, Enlil, in the universe has uttered thy exalted name; O thou city whose fates have been decreed by Enki, O thou shrine Ur, neck to heaven mayest thou rise."
SACRED TABLETS
Babylonian literature has its origin in sacred Sumerian texts of the 3rd millennium BCE. Scribes in the temples during the 2nd millennium BCE spent much of their lives copying and inscribing sacred texts onto clay tablets and cylinder seals, thus preserving our ancient heritage. There are epics and myths, prayers and hymns, works of wisdom and history, astrology and astronomy and instructions on temple rituals.
ERIDU
Eridu is the earliest known city of Sumer in Southern Mesopotamia. Its ruins date back to nearly 7000 years ago and by 5000 years ago it was well known as a bustling city with many mud brick and reed houses. You can read more here...

ENKI SPEAKS
"At the end of days a Day of Judgment there shall be. The Earth shall quake and the rivers change course, and there shall be a darkness at noon and a fire in the heavens in the night. The day of the returning celestial god [Nibiru]will it be.
And who shall survive and who shall perish, who shall be rewarded and who will be punished, gods and men alike, on that day it shall be discovered; for what shall come to pass by what had passed shall be determined; and what was destined shall in a cycle be repeated; and what was fated and only by the heart's will occurring for good or ill shall for judgment come.
The record read, the Past remembered, the Future as prophesy understand, let the Future of the Past the judgment be! These are the words of Enki, Firstborn of Anu of NibIru."
From The Lost Book of Enki: Memoirs and Prophecies of an Extraterrestrial God, by Zecharia Sitchin
ENKI BUILDS HIS HOUSE IN ERIDU
After the water of creation had been decreed,
After the name hegal (abundance), born in heaven,
Like plant and herb had clothed the land,
The lord of the abyss, the king, Enki,
the lord who decrees the fates,
Built his house of silver and lapis lazuli;
Its silver and lapis lazuli, like sparkling light,
The father fashioned fittingly in the abyss.
The (creatures of) bright countenance and wise, coming forth from the abyss,
Stood all about the lord Nudimmud;
The pure house be built, he adorned it with lapis lazuli, He ornamented it greatly with gold.
In Eridu he built the house of the water-bank,its brickwork, word-uttering, advice-giving, its..like an ox roaring, the house of Enki, the oracles uttering.
