Part 3: Unraveling Myths from Mesopotamia: Sumerian Tablets Revealed

In this session, we delve into the original Sumerian tablets, starting with the myth of Enki and Ninmah. Using academic translations, I guide you through locating texts and identifying mythological narratives. Discover how Enki, urged by his mother Namma, creates humanity to relieve the Anunnaki gods from labor. This myth contrasts with Zecharia Sitchin's theories, where the mysterious Galsu appears only in interpretations, not the original texts. We explore the Enki and the World Order myth, showcasing the god's role in organizing the cosmos. Enki's symbolic acts, including the infusion of life into rivers, reflect Sumerian cosmology. Learn about Inanna's Descent into the Underworld, a foundational narrative of death and resurrection, highlighting themes of balance, sacrifice, and fertility. Finally, I demonstrate using academic tools to connect historical figures like Hammurabi with the Anunnaki, emphasizing documented evidence in ancient legal texts.
