The Sumerian King List validates the biblical account of the flood wiping out all but Noah’s family, leaving only Noah to rule over the earth after the flood. Well, struggle to establish his rule is more accurate, exactly like Adam over Cain.
After the flood had swept over, and the kingship had descended from heaven [the second time], the kingship was in Kic / Kish. In Kic / Kish, Ĝushur / Fish” became king for 1200 years.
This title memorializes Noah’s famous exploit of having made it through the great flood. The same person is also commemorated as Mebarasi / Priest King / Melchizedek in one of the other versions of the SKL.
But why would the pagan Sumerian King List acknowledge YHVH’s Melchizedek?
We can be certain that this was as disgruntled an acknowledgment as their theogony admitting that Enlil / Adam was created by YHVH, but as unavoidable at that time due to both men’s living witness of their singular relationship with Almighty God to society during their exceptionally long lifespans.
Continuing on with the SKL.
- Kullassina-bel /”All of them were lord” ruled for 960 years – indicates chaotic competition over small pieces of territory,
- Nanjiclicma / “#1” ruled, suggesting he won the competition, for 670 years
- En-tarah-ana ruled for 420 years
And it goes on and on without providing significant information until we arrive at another “king” who again has a long reign of 1500 years. He is identified by his “name” / attributes. From a biblical perspective, and in the context of long lives and perpetual warfare between rivals, this is the same first king, simply by yet a different title, who had been temporarily driven out of the city-state of Kish, but during ongoing warfare reclaimed the city as his own.
- ‘Etana’, meaning ‘the shepherd who ascended to Heaven and “made firm” all the lands’, signifying conceptual firmness, i.e. stability, peace and order to a warring population, as well as material terra firma, ruled for 1500 years. This is Noah again, reclaiming his capitol city.
- Balih, the son of Etana – first indication of a dynasty – ruled for 400 years. This is Shem by one of many titles, apparently while Noah was indisposed.
Another period of non-dynastic rule during warfare by rival warlords then
- En-men-barage-si became king; he ruled for 900 years. This is Noah again, confirmed by his inherited title Mebarasi / Priest-King, to which later Sumerian record keepers added En / lord god. In classic revisionist history by the winners of regime change, the Sumerians tried to convert YHVH’s Melchizedek – called by archeologists the penultimate first king of the first dynasty of Kish – into one of their own.
Enmebaragesi is the first name confirmed by archaeological finds as an historical person. He is also known through other literary references, in which he and his son Aga of Kish / Shem are portrayed as contemporary rivals of Dumuzid / Tammuz, / Gilgamesh, an early ruler of the rebuilt city of Uruk, identified by scholars as the biblical Erech (Genesis 10:10).
Most historians generally agree that Gilgamesh was a historical king. The Tummal Inscription credits Gilgamesh with building the walls of Uruk.[22] An inscription discovered in the archaic texts at Ur reads: “Gilgameš is the one whom Utu has selected” [as his human hybrid ruler on earth, i.e. Antichrist].
The oldest version of many variations of The Epic Of Gilgamesh dates back to the 18th century BCE and is titled after its incipit / beginning words Shūtur eli sharrī (“Surpassing All Other Kings”). This clearly establishes Gilgamesh’ rivalry with Melchizedeks Noah and Shem.
Aga / Shem, son of En-me-barage-si / Noah made the Tummal flourish and brought Ninlil / Mother of all living / Noah’s wife into the Tummal [for safekeeping].
The Sumerian word Tummal is found in inscriptions of this period but not translated by archeologists, probably because it was clearly understood since Eastern royal households always guarded their women in what we call harems.
Then Kic was defeated and the kingship was taken to E-ana / pagan House of Heaven [in Uruk].
From one of the versions of the Sumerian King List:
envoys of Aga / Shem came from Kish to Gilgamec in Unug / Uruk. Aga laid siege to Unug with his men…Gilgamesh, addressed its warriors: “Let someone with courage volunteer“…Only Enkidu / hybrid bull-man went out through the city gate…and he took Aga the king of Kish, captive in the midst of his army.
Don’t miss what an achievement that was! Enkidu was so powerful this one hybrid was able to keep an entire entire army at bay! This rehybridization program was truly the redevelopment of WMDs!
- Gilgamec approached close to Aga:
- Aga my overseer?
- Aga my lieutenant?
- Aga my governor?
- Aga my commander?
- Aga my military commander?
Gilgamesh is bargaining with Aga for alliance as an alternative to his death and his city-state’s subjugation as a slave state, beginning small and increasing his offer to the highest honor possible as Aga shakes his head “no” to every inducement.
And Gilgamesh explains why he is making such a magnanimous offer.
“Aga gave me breath, Aga gave me life:”
Major plot revelation! Expressly and unequivocally stated in “gave me breath, life” Aga / Shem is the father of Gilgamesh!
The son of Shem is, like Cain with his father Adam, rejecting the essence of fatherhood at that time – his father’s authority while still claiming his father’s god-power by identifying himself with his father’s blood lineage, thus establishing Gilgamesh’s inherited authority / dominion over the earth.
- Then the Tummal fell into ruins / was conquered for the first time [by] Mes-ane-pada / Gilgamesh.
This alternate title for Gilgamesh glorifies the conqueror as having captured from Kish a list of sacred items in order of importance, equivalent to the Philistines capture of the ark of the covenant, In the pagan conviction, whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, (II Corinthians 4:4) that the c2 force converting energy to mass and vice versa, cloned from the Creator, is now under their control.
- The “mes” was a collection of divine decrees, each one a “me” described in the poem, “Enki and the World Order” foundational to Sumerian religious and social institutions, technologies, behaviors, mores, and human conditions of Mesopotamian civilization via the relationship between humanity and the gods. These would be the words of YHVH’s prophets such as Adam, Enoch, Lamech and Noah, the “Books of Judgment” equivalent to our Bible’s books of Isaiah, Daniel, Revelation, etc., written in the years of wickedness leading up to the judgment of flood. Safeguarded through the flood by Noah, excerpts of which Moses included in the books of Genesis and Enoch.
- “Ki” is the earth
- Agga we know is Shem
- “cer” means “reddened [i.e. bloodied and/or burned, tortured], bound and fettered”,
That is not good, but frankly, only to be expected.
When Gilgamesh “carried away” the mes, he replaced YHVH’s Books of Judgment promoted by Noah and Shem at Kish with the pre-flood Sumerian decrees safeguarded in pyramids built to withstand the flood, and gathered and implemented after the flood. These are no doubt some of the quests in The Epic Of Gilgamesh for which Gilgamesh is hailed the “archetypal hero” by humanists.
After the city-state of Uruk was reclaimed by Gilgamesh, the first and only king of the third post-flood dynasty of Uruk, was brought “in a collar to the gate of En-lil /Adam / Melchizedek’s [temple], clearly emphasizing Gilgamesh’s usurpation of the role of YHVH’s Melchizedek.
The conquered king of Uruk, called Lugalzegesi in the victory account, is one and the same as “Shem / Fame“, recognized both by this action and by the mockery in twisting his well-known identity.
