(gods in blue …mixed-breed demigods in teal…)
…there is the messenger who brings the news of imprisonment to Marduk’s son Nabu…Nabu hastens to The Mountain in his chariot. He arrives at a structure
“that is the house on the edge of The Mountain wherein they questioned him …”
They are told that the agitated god is
“Nabu who from Borsippa comes.
It is he who comes to seek
after the warfare of his father, who is imprisoned …”
Nabu…
“comes back from Borsippa;
he comes and stands over the evildoer and regards him …”
“The one whose sin it was …”
is carried away in a coffin. The murderer of Dumuzi has paid with his life.
(Marduk is later freed & alive.)
It was a place, we suggest, which the Bible called Kadesh-Barnea, and there Abraham stood with his elite troops, blocking the invaders’ advance to the Spaceport proper…it was intended to prevent the return of Marduk and thwart the efforts of Nabu to gain access to the Spaceport.
…Marduk’s desire to make Babylon “the heavenward naval in the four regions.” It was to thwart this that the gods opposing Marduk ordered Khedorla’omar to seize and defile Babylon:
“The gods…
to Kudur-Laghamar, king of the land of Elam,
they decreed: ‘Descend there!’
That which to the city was bad he performed;
In Babylon, the precious city of Marduk, kingship he overthrew;
To herds of dogs its temple he made a den;
Flying ravens, loud shrieking, their dung dropped there …”
After the “bad deeds” were done there, Utu / Shamash sought action against Nabu, who (he had said in accusation) had subverted the allegiance of a certain king to his father.
“Before the gods the son of his father (came);
On that day Shamash (Utu), the Bright One,
against the lord of lords, Marduk (he said):
“The faithfulness of his heart (the king) betrayed–
in the time of the thirteen year a falling-out against my father (he had);
to his faith-keeping the king ceased to attend;
all this Nabu has caused to happen. …”
In addition to “evil deeds” against Marduk and Babylon, an attack against Nabu and his temple Ezida in Borsippa was also planned. But Nabu managed to escape westward
“Fron Ezida…
Nabu, to marshal all his cities set his step;
Toward the great sea he set his course …”
…verses in the Babylonian text…have a direct parallel in the biblical tale of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah:
“But when the son of Marduk in the land of the coast was,
He-of-the-Evil-Wind (Erra) (Nergal) with heat the plain-land burnt.
He (Nabu) the great sea entered,
Sat upon a throne which was not his
(Because) Ezida, the legitimate abode, was overrun …”
Enki stood by his firstborn son:
“Now that Prince Marduk has arisen,
now that the people for the second time have raised his image,
why does Erra continue his opposition? …”
Finally, loosing his patience, Enki shouted at Nergal to get out of his presence. Leaving in a huff, Nergal returned to his domain. “Consulting with himself,” he decided to unleash the awesome weapons:
“The lands I will destroy, to a deep dust-heap make them;
the cities I will upheaval, to desolation turn them;
the mountains I will flatten, their animals make disappear;
the seas I will agitate, that which teems in them I will decimate;
the people I will make vanish, their souls shall turn to vapor;
none shall be spared. …”
“Nabu, who comes, stands over, and watches.:
He is the criminal who is with Bel …..
Because he is with Bel (Marduk).
Tashmetu (Nabu’s spouse), who bows down with him.
She has come to greet him.
The Lady of Babylon, who does not go to the Akitu temple.
She is the governess of the temple …”
