       1d-sargons-empire-2234-2279-b-c 2gg-sargon-of-akkad  (Sargon, giant mixed-breed made king by Inanna)

        SharruKin (Sargon), the mighty king, king of Agade, am I.

        My mother was a changling (semi-divine mixed-breed high-priestess / temple prostitute), my father I knew not.

        The brother(s) of my father loved the hills.

        My city is Azupiranu, which is situated on the banks of the Euphrates.

        My changeling mother conceived me, in secret she bore me.

        She set me in a basket of rushes, with bitumen [tar and pitch] she sealed my lid.

        She cast me into the river which rose not over me (1,000 plus years prior Biblical Moses),

        The river bore me up and carried me to Akki, the drawer of water.

        Akki, the drawer of water, lifted me out as he dipped his pot.

        Akki, the drawer of water, [took me] as his son and reared me.

        Akki, the drawer of water, appointed me as his gardener,

        1e-ishtar-goddess-of-love2b - Inanna was given a skyship2c - flying Inanna 1 (winged pilot Inanna, Goddess of Love)

        While I was a gardener, Ishtar (Inanna) granted me her love,

        And for four and … years I exercised kingship,

        The black-headed [people] (the non-mixed earthlings) I ruled, I gov[erned];

        Mighty [moun]tains with chip-axes of bronze I conquered,

        The upper ranges I scaled,

        The lower ranges I [trav]ersed,

        The sea [lan]ds three times I circled.

        2-dilmun-location  

           (Dilmun, pristine lands originally given by Enki to his daughter Ninsikila, also virgin Magan was given to Enki‘s son)

        Dilmun my [hand] cap[tured],

        [To] the great Der I [went up], I …, … I altered and …

        Whatever king may come up after me,…

        Let him r[ule, let him govern the black-headed [peo]ple;

        [Let him conquer] mighty [mountains] with chip-axe[s of bronze],

        [Let] him scale the upper ranges,

        [Let him traverse the lower ranges],

        Let him circle the sea [lan]ds three times!

        [Dilmun let his hand capture],

        Let him go up [to] the great Der and … ! … from my city, Aga[de] …

The meaning of his mother being a changeling is unknown, but it has been suggested that it means he was the illegitimate child of a temple prostitute (a mixed-breed high-priestess of the gods).

The sending of Sargon down the river in a tar pitch basket is reminiscent of the later Moses story

(Biblical quote:)

        “Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son.

        When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months.

        But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket and coated it with tar and pitch.

        Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds

        along the bank of the Nile.” -Exodus 2:1-3

Like Sargon and Moses, the legendary founder of Rome, Romulus, is also said to have been set down the river in a similar legend. All three of these men were legendary founders of great nations. There is a good possibility that Sharru-Kin is also the Biblical king Nimrod:

(Biblical quote:)

         “Kush (Kish) was the forebear of Nimrod,

         who grew up to be a mighty warrior (“mighty man”, mixed-breed giant) on the earth.

         He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; that is why it is said,

         ‘Like Nimrod, the mighty hunter (bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, & lived far longer than non-mixed earthlings, go-betweens for the alien god & earthlings) before Yahweh.’

         The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech [Uruk],

         Akkad, and Calneh(?) in Shinar (Sumer) [Babylonia].

         From that land he built Nineveh, Rehoboth, Ir (Ur), Calah and Resen,

         which is between Nineveh and Calah; that is a great city.” -Genesis 10:8-12
