       Irnini, loath to give up empire in Africa, flew to Dumuzu's funeral in the Land of Mines in Africa, where Enki's son Nergal ruled with Irnini's sister, Ereshkigal, keeper of the observatory at the tip of South Africa.  

 ERESHKIGAL KILLS SISTER IRNINI LEST SHE & NERGAL CREATE HEIR TO AFRICA

Irnini was pursuing levirate, whereby she, as widow of Nergal's brother Dumuzi, would begat a male child with Nergal to inherit Dumuzi's status.  Ereshkigal knew Irnini would try through such a child to usurp power in Africa, "Of scheming an heir by Nirgal, Dumuzi's brother, Irnini was accused"   [The Lost Book of Enki, Sitchin, 2002:255].  Ereshkigal refused Irnini entry to her capital.  

When Irnini arrived at Ereshkigal and Nergal’s place, Ereshkigal barred her entry. Irnini forced her way in, but Ereshkigal disarmed her hung her on a stake to die.
 


And die Irnini did. But "from clay of the Abzu [Africa] Enki two emissaries fashioned, beings without blood, by death rays unharmed, to lower Abzu he sent them, Irnini to bring back. Upon the corpse the clay emissaries a Pulser and an Emitter directed, then the Water of life on her they sprinkled, in her mouth, the plant of life they placed. Then the dead Irnini arose" [Sitchin, ibid., 255].
 

Irnini brought Dumuzi’s body back to Mesopotamia and had it mummified, to rise on a "Final Day" and rejoin her bodily.  Sitchin identifies Irnini's  mummification celebration as both a way of her dealing with her grief and also as part of a move by Astronauts to preserve the myth of the latter's immortality.  Astronauts were actually just very long-living, compared to Earthlings; one Earth year = 3, 600 years on the homeplanet, Nibiru [The Cosmic Code, pages 90, 96].  

 IRNINI & ENLILITES DEFEAT ENKIITES, TRAP MARDUK IN PYRAMID

Irnini led the Enlilites to war against Marduk for instigating Dumuzi’s death. Though Marduk's brothers Ningishzidda and Nergral declined to defend him, his other brothers, Ninigal and Gibil, father Enki and Marduk's grandson, Horon, joined Marduk and his Astronaut Service (Igigi) allies fighting the Enlilites.

Utu held off the Igigi in Sinai, and Marduk retreated before a massive areal onslaught by Irnini and Enlil's sons, Ninurta and Ishkur/Adad into the beacon pyramid [Giza].   "Let the slow death, by alive being buried, be Marduk's sentence!  Irnini her consent gave.  Each one of them one stone for plugging slid down, Marduk as in a tomb to seal." 

NINHARSAG NEGOTIATES HER SON NINURTA TO SUCCEED TO EARTH’S RULE IN EXCHANGE FOR MARDUK’S LIFE

Ninharsag brought her feuding brothers, Enki and Enlil into the confrontation between Sarpanit and Irnini. Ninharsag proposed exiling Marduk and appointing Ninurta, her son with Enlil, in Marduk’s place as successor to the rule of Earth. Enlil awarded Egypt to Thoth, but Inanna objected.

Egypt, said Irnini, should be hers. "To the heritage of Dumuzi, her deceased bridegroom, did Irnini lay claim. A dominion of her own she of Enki and Enlil demanded"
[Sitchin, idid: 259].

 [Sitchin, Z.,The Lost Book of Enki p 159]  Anu decided to come to Terra again and organize the planet, "How over Mankind lofty to remain, how to make the many the few obey and serve" [Sitchin, op.cit., 265].


   

At Anu's temple, 3,800 B.C., at Uruk (Erech), Sumer's sacred precinct, Anu's wife, Antu, gave Irnini sexual advice, then ceremonially gave her to Anu.  When Anu and Irnini made love, they spread ecstasy and epiphany to Antu and the Nibuan elite meditating outside the love-chamber.   Anu gifted Irnini with the Uruk temple.  He renamed Irnini Inanna (Anu's Beloved) and enjoyed her as his bedmate on his visits to Earth.   Inanna administered the temple district in Uruk through a priest/king who was her paternal nephew (the son of her brother Ute/Shamash by a Terran female.   

Anu and his pioneer children, Enlil, Enki and Ninharsag, collectively called "The Great Anunaki," decided to create three administrative regions for the Astronauts and their respective Earthlings and one for Astronauts and their descendants only.  They would initially build up the First region, Mesopotamia, for the Enlilites, then the Enkiite region, Egypt and Africa, then the Indus Valley region for Inanna to administer.  Enki must share his "MEs"--computer programs  (for  handicrafts, city-building, brickmaking, temple construction, justice administration, harbor, canal and irrigation-system design, etc.) with the other Astronauts, whose Earthlings would build cities using the programs and that the Astronauts would henceforth be designated gods for the Earthlings, who would serve them through kings.     

Inanna was consumed with impatience while the Mesopotamian domains of the other Enlilites were being built in the first region.  "All the while the domain of her own she demanded.  The Third Region after the second one well come! her leaders thus assured her.   Rather than just wait, she determined to expand the ceremonial center at Uruk into a city like those dedicated to the other Enlilite Astronauts.  She noted that Enki had given Enlil's heir, Ninurta, fifty MEs, including the programs for mathematics, beermaking, smithing, pottery, wagon and wheelmaking and law.  To make Uruk a city, Inanna, too, needed MEs.   Great-uncle Enki  had the MEs.  

Uncle Enki used to flirt with her when he came to his villa on the Persian Gulf.   He had MEs for weaponry, statecraft, mathematics, writing, metallurgy, masonry, arts, courts.   Uncle Enki could help her start a city and thrill her with advanced sexual practices too. 

Inanna visited Enki at Abzu, his palace in southeast Africa.  She got him drunk, seduced him and had him hand her the ME chips she needed to create her city.   She had her pilot take the MEs back to Uruk before Enki captured her, held her in his Mesopotamian villa at Eridu and tried to get the MEs back.  However, Inanna's grandfather, Enlil, heard of her plight and flew to Eridu to confront Enki.  "By right the MEs I have obtained, Enki himself placed them in my hand placed them!  So did Inanna to Enlil say; the truth Enki meekly admitted."  [ Sitchin, 2002:281]Enlil ordered kingship of Sumer transferred to Inanna's city of Uruk.   She used the MEs to make Uruk from a temple precinct into a mighty city state, ruled by Enmerkar, the son of and successor to her nephew.  

Anu pardoned Marduk and let him return from exile, but "Marduk's fury knew no bounds: Why will Inanna, a cause of Dumuzi's death, her own region get?  [Sitchin, op.cit., 275].  

Marduk was further enraged when Inanna successfully used the MEs she obtained from his father to build Uruk as the ruling capital of Sumer.  Marduk's "anger knew no bounds.  A sacred city of his own in the  Edin he forthwith demanded.  When Enlil to Marduk's appeal played no heed, Marduk fate in his own hands grasped." [op,cit.: 281] 

To Babylon, Marduk summoned his son Nabu, his followers in the active Astronaut service (the Igigi) and his Earthling followers, in 3450 B.C., to build a spaceport4 for him in Babylon to break the Enlilite monopoly on space travel.  

MARDUK, from The Lost Book of Enki, Sitchin, 2002:275]

"Marduk an unpermitted Gateway to Heaven is building,  To Earthlings it he is entrusting!  So did Enlil to his sons and grandchildren say.  If this we allow to happen, no other matter of Mankind shall be unreached....  From their skyships havoc upon the rising tower fire and brimstone they rained; To the tower and the whole  encampment a complete end they made.  To scatter abroad the leader [Marduk] and his followers Enlil thereupon decided, henceforth their counsels to confuse, their unity to shatter, Enlil thereupon decreed.  Until now all the Earthlings one language had; henceforth... in each region and every land the people a different tongue to speak, a different form of writing ...that one the other will not comprehend." [op,cit.: 282-3] Enlil destroyed the station, decreed separate administrative zones and languages for Terrans and banished Marduk from Mesopotamia.  Marduk retreated to Egypt and deposed Thoth.  The Council put Inanna's Uncle Adad, an Enlilite, in control of the landing place at Baalbek (Lebonon) and her father, Nannar, in control of the Sinai spaceport.    In another 409 years, the energy source known as "The Heavenly Bright Object" was transferred to Inanna at Uruk, which held the kingship of Sumer for 1000 years.  

Notes  
4.  The Spaceport's launch tower for a shem, rocketship, was what later generations mistranslated as "a name."
