The LOST BOOK OF ENKI
The Earth shall quake and the rivers change course,
and there shall be a darkness at noon and
a fire in the heavens in the night,
the day of the returning celestial god
[Nibiru, the far-orbiting 10th planet of our solar system] will it be.
And who shall survive and who shall perish,
who shall be rewarded and who will be punished,
gods [astronauts from Nibiru] and men alike,
on that day it shall be discovered;
For what shall come to pass by what had passed
shall be determined; and what was destined
shall in a cycle be repeated,
and what was fated and only by the heart's will
occurring for good or ill shall for judgment come.
The record read, the Past remembered,
the Future as prophesy understand,
Let the Future of the Past the judgment be!'
These are the words of Enki, Firstborn of Anu of Nibiru"

What You Need To Know About THE LOST BOOK OF ENKI And THE ANUNNAKI
Six thousand years ago, astronaut/pioneers from the planet Nibiru dictated Enuma elish -- the Creation Epic -- to the Sumerians. The Creation Epic says our Sun, a solitary star at this time in its history, first created a planet the Nibirans called Tiamat. Tiamat was the proto-Earth. It orbited Sun counterclockwise.
Next, the Sun, called Apsu, created Mercury and propelled Mercury with water and gold to Tiamat. Venus with Mars, Jupiter with Saturn, Uranus with Neptune formed as pairs and orbited the Sun counterclockwise too. Tiamat lacked a partner-planet, but one of her moons, Kingu, enlarged. Kingu was about to become Tiamat’s partner planet and orbit the Sun, rather than Tiamat.
But, four billion years ago, before Kingu could attain planetary orbit around the sun, Nibiru entered the Solar System clockwise and split off a piece of Neptune. That chunk of Neptune became its moon, Triton. Triton, unlike other moons in the System, orbits Neptune clockwise. As Nibiru passed through the Solar System, it lost three moons, tore four moons from Uranus and tilted Uranus’ orbit.

The shards of Tiamat (from the Pacific gouge Nibiru’s moon made) are Asteroids and comets. Nibiru’s gravity took all Tiamat’s moons but Kingu.
Nibiru’s invasion left Kingu lifelessly orbiting Earth. Tiamat’s other moons became satellites of Nibiru.

In the Creation Epic, the Sumerians knew and wrote of an advanced civilization on a planet in a different solar system. They had the concept of a pulsar, the star around which Nibiru had orbited before that star collapsed. The Niburan astronauts, the Lords, had their Sumerian scribes write--only lately being confirmed by our scientists--of the composition and movement of the astronomical bodies of Solaris’ system.
The Sumerian Creation Epic lends compelling evidence for the extraterrestrial settlement of Earth by Nibirans, the human astronauts who came to be regarded as the gods of Earth.

2 - PRINCE ALALU KILLS NIBIRU’S KING LAHMA - ALALU GIVES DAUGHTER TO EA FOR FEALTY FROM ANU
After Nibiru, the tenth planet in our solar system, entered the inner solar system clockwise and achieved relative orbital stability around the Solaris (our sun), life on Nibiru evolved until it culminated in technologically-sophisticated, long-lived homo sapiens, the humans of Nibiru.
![]() Anu pledges fealty to Alalu, becomes Alalu’s cupbearer. In exchange Anu’s son Ea and Alalu’s Daughter Damkina will begat the heir to the Nibiran Throne. [Sitchin, Z., The Wars of Gods and Men, 1985, page 84] |
500,000 years ago, King Lahma vacillated over how to deal with the escaping atmosphere. Should he nuke the volcanoes to regenerate the atmosphere? Or should he send miners to Solaris’ Asteroids, where probes registered gold which could be powdered and spread as a shield for Nibiru’s atmosphere?
Prince Alalu, exasperated by Lahma’s inaction and desperate to save Nibiru, pushed Lahma off a tower.
Lahma’s heir, Anu, agreed at first to Alalu’s rule. Alalu and Anu sealed their alliance when Anu’s firstborn son, Ea/Enki (whose autobiography, compiled by Sitchin, is the principal authority for our tale), married Dimkina, Alalu’s Daughter.
Ea related how Anu had earlier denied him his bride-to-be, his (Ea’s) half-sister Ninmah, when she bore the child of their half-brother, Enlil.

![]() Anu [Sitchin Cards, King of Hearts] |
Anu, rightful king by Nibiran tradition, challenged Alalu. "Anu gave battle to Alalu. To hand-to-hand combat, with bodies naked, Alalu he challenged. Alalu in combat was defeated; by acclaim Anu was hailed as king." [Sitchin, Z., The Lost Book of Enki pages 24 - 39]
Alalu stole a missile-armed rocket and blasted from Nibiru to Earth. From Earth, he controlled the gold Nibiru needed to survive. He positioned his nukes to blast Nibiru on its next pass by Earth. Alalu dangled gold as a carrot and menaced missiles as a stick. To Anu on Nibiru he beamed, "On another world I am, the gold of salvation I have found. The fate of Nibiru is in my hands. To my conditions you must give heed!" [Sitchin, op.cit. page 60]
"Return my throne," Alalu demanded. But Anu’s Foremost Son, Enlil, demanded proof of gold on Earth. So Alalu documented his proof and transmitted it to the home planet. Enlil distrusted the proof. He asked Anu to convene the Nibiru Council. In the Council, Enlil and the counselors implored Anu to keep his kingship.

The scientist Ea, Firstborn Son of Anu, addressed the Council.
Although Ea was Anu’s Firstborn Son, Ea was second in succession to Anu’s throne.
The first to succeed Anu was Enlil, the Foremost Son. Enlil was first in succession because his mother, Anu’s Royal Spouse, Antu, was Anu’s half-sister. This made Enlil, not Ea, Anu’s Foremost Son by Nibiru succession rules.
Ea, however, though only Firstborn–not Foremost--Son, married Damkina, Alalu’s Daughter. As Alalu’s son-in-law as well as Anu’s Firstborn, Ea could be an acceptable go-between for both Anu and Alalu. Thus all in the Council listened intently to Ea address the threat and promise Alalu was offering them.
Ea proposed that he, in person, verify gold on Earth. If from gold dust of Earth, a shield for Nibiru its atmosphere to save, said Ea, let Alalu Earth rule as King. For kingship on Nibiru, let him wrestle Anu.
Let me in a chariot [rocket] to Earth journey, a path through the Bracelet [Asteroids] with water, not fire [Alalu had used nuclear missiles to get through the Asteroids] I shall fashion. On Earth, from the waters let me the precious gold to obtain; to Nibiru back it will be sent. [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki op.cit. page: 66]
Anu endorsed Ea’s plan and sent him with pilot Anzu and fifty male astronauts to Earth. Enlil seethed with frustration that Ea pre-empted the heroic mission to Earth.

5 - EA BLASTS TO EARTH WITH WATER, HIDES ALALU’S NUKES, FIRES PILOT ANZU. SENDS ABGAL TO NIBIRU WITH GOLD SAMPLES
Our story so far:
![]() |
The astronauts splashed into the Persian Gulf; there Alalu guided them ashore.Ea built a settlement, Eridu, at the head of the Persian Gulf. From the Gulf, he extracted some gold. He built a plane, and with his personal pilot, Abgal, tested for more gold all over the planet.
Anu beamed orders from Nibiru to Earth. He commanded Ea to send Alalu’s ship back to Nibiru with as much gold as possible.
In Alalu’s rocket, Ea and Abgal found seven nuclear missiles. They hid the nukes in a cave.
Anzu, the interplanetary pilot, came to ready Alalu’s rocket to return to Nibiru. But when he saw the missiles gone from the ship, Anzu confronted Ea. "When to Earth we flew, only water cannon did we use to blast through the Asteroids, nearly killing our engine due to water wasted blasting rocks. To return to Nibiru, I need the nukes you took from this ship."
Ea retorted, "Foresworn is the weapons’ use." [SItichin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 82]. "Replaced you are, Anzu, as interplanetary pilot, for we are pledged to no nukes in space. Your attitude compels me to relieve you. Stay here on Earth.
Abgal, my personal pilot, will take Alalu’s ship back to Nibiru. And with water cannon only shall he navigate the asteroids. " Ea programmed a return route through the Asteroids and Abgal flew the spacecraft to Nibiru with sample gold to test as an atmospheric shield there.

Narrative Resumes:
[But] when Nibiru near the Sun came, the golden dust was by its rays disturbed; the healing in the atmosphere was dwindled, the breach to bigness returned." [Sitchin, Z., Lost Book of Enki, page 86] Anu sent Abgal back to Earth for more gold.

![]() Enlil |
Prospecting, Ea found gold, huge veins of it, in southeast Africa (Abzu). Jubilant, he announced his find to Nibiru.
Anu, unhappy with Enlil’s constant complaints about Ea, gave in. Enlil, I’m sending you to Earth; there, you’ll be in charge. Check on Ea’s find.
When Enlil made landfall on Earth, he beamed back that, despite his initial doubts, Earth probably had gold enough to save Nibiru’s atmosphere.
But the basic rivalry between Ea and Enlil (that plagues Earth to this day) surfaced again.
Go Back
"Father Anu," Enlil broadcasts from Earth to Nibiru, "Affirm, by the law of succession, that I, your son by your own half-sister Antu, precedes and has authority over Ea, though, he, your eldest son, be."
"Come," Enlil implored, "to Earth in person and deal with Alalu, too, who thinks he’s king here and says he should rule Nibiru as well."
"By their lots the tasks they divided; Anu to Nibiru to return, its ruler on the throne to remain. The Edin [Mesopotamia] to Enlil was allotted, to be Lord of Command, more settlements to establish, of the skyships and their heroes charge to take. Of all the lands until they the bar of the seas encounter, the leader to be. To Ea the seas and the oceans as his domain were granted, lands beyond the bar of the waters by him to be governed, in the Abzu [southeastern Africa] to be the master, with ingenuity the gold to procure.’" [Sitchin, Z., Lost Book of Enki, pages 92 -93]
Enlil’s first act was to award Enki his initial settlement, Eridu, on the Persian Gulf, in perpetuity.
Go Back
No sooner did Anu and his sons divide rule of Nibiru and Earth, then,
![]() Anu wrestled Alalu. They grappled. [Sitchin, The Wars of Gods and Men, page 86] |
"Forward toward Anu Alalu stepped, shouted, ‘Mastery of Earth to me was allotted; that was the promise when the gold finds to Nibiru I announced! Nor have I the claim to Nibiru’s throne forsaken.’" [Sitchin, Z., The Lost Book of Enki, page 93]
"Anu on the chest of Alalu with his foot pressed down, victory in the wrestling thereby declaring, ‘I am King’"
Enlil tied Alalu up while Ea gave Anu first-aid. "Alalu," Anu groaned, "will slowly die from my seed."*
Anu condemned the sickened and doomed Alalu to spend his last days on Mars.
On his return trip to Nibiru, Anu stopped at Mars, where he left Alalu with food and tools. Anu also left Alalu’s kinsman, Anzu -- the interplanetary pilot Ea had discharged -- to care for the dying Alalu.
NINMAH, ENROUTE TO EARTH, SAVES ANZU ON MARS, STARTS MARS-BASE
When Anu arrived back on Nibiru, he told the Council his plans for gold hunting through the solar system. He ordered continuous freight rockets to and from Earth. "Rockets will shuttle among way-stations on Mars, Earth’s Moon, other planets and satellites between Nibiru and the sun."
King Anu sent his daughter Ninmah with female health officers to Earth. "Stop," said the King, "on the way, at Mars. If Anzu lives, give him men to set up a base there."
On Mars Ninmah found Alalu and Anzu dead. It was too late for the condemned Alalu, but Ninmah revived Anzu.
To commemorate Alalu who discovered the gold that can save Nibiru, Ninmah and Anzu, "The image of Alalu upon the great rock mountain with beams they carved. They showed him wearing an eagle’s helmet; his face they made uncovered." [Sitchin, Z., The Lost Book of Enki, page 104].
* In the later Hittite version of this tale, Anu appointed Alalu’s grandson, Kumarbi his cupbearer (as Alalu had appointed Anu to be his cupbearer). Anu took Kumarbi to Earth to keep an eye on him. In the Hittite version, it is Kumarbi, who bit Anu’s penis. Anu forced Kumarbi to swallow poisonous stones. But Kumarbi managed to spit them out.
Kumarbi visited Ea/Enki, his sister’s husband on Earth. But on Earth, Enlil’s younger son, Adad/Teshub incited Kumarbi. Adad bragged how he and big brother Ninurta would get all the privileges of knowledge and power Kumarbi was denied. Ea took Kumarbi in a rocket for Nibiru to plead with Lama, the ancestress of both Alalu’s and Anu’s lines, for mediation. But Lama, learning that Ea’s mission lacked support of Enlil’s sons, sent "lightening winds" against Ea’s spacecraft, forcing him and Kumbari back to Earth.
Kumbari returned to Mars Base and agitated among the Igigi (astronauts), who attacked Enlil and his people on Earth. Seventy of Enlil’s men flew aircraft against the Kumarbi and the Igigi. They defeated Kumarbi but Ullikumi, Kumarbi’s son by one of the female astronauts, rallied the Igigi again.
Filling the role of Anzu in the Sumerian account, Ullikumi led the Igigi, 380,000 years ago. Ullikumi and the Igigi attacked the "whirlbirds" of the Enlilites, but were defeated by Enlilite champions Ninurta and Adad.
Sitchin identifies the battles between Alalu and his descendants the basis basis for later Indian tales of battles the Indira vs Vrita fight even later Greek tales of the Titan vs God War. Indira/Vrita and Titan/Zeus are based on the Anzu/Ninurta and Adad tale the Nibirans dictated to the Sumerians. [Sitchin, Z., 1985,The Wars of Gods and Men, pages 91 -101]

"Enki and Enlil and Ninmah... Offspring of Anu the three leaders were, by different mothers....
Enki was the Firstborn Son; a concubine of Anu’s was his mother.
Enlil by Antu, the spouse of Anu, was born; the Legal Heir he thus became.
Ninmah by another concubine was mothered, a half sister of the two half brothers she was.... Greatly beautiful she was, full of wisdom, one quick to learn.

"A son from Enlil’s seed Ninmah bore, Ninurta.... Anu angered; as punishment he Ninmah ever to be a spouse forbade! Ea his bride-to-be by Anu’s decree abandoned; a princess named Damkina [Alalu’s daughter] he instead espoused; a son, an heir to them was born, Marduk." [Sitchin, 2002, op. cit.]"Ea, as Enki was then named, by Anu to espouse Ninmah was chosen, thereby their offspring son the legal successor thereafter to become. Ninmah of Enlil, a dashing commander, was enamored; by him she was seduced.... " [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, pages 112-113] Ea dictates to his scribe. (The rivalry between Ea and Enlil -- the critical competition that still affects Earth, shows here, as Ea refers to the sexual connection between his fiancé Ninmah and their half-brother, Commander Enlil, as "seduction.")
We return from our genealogical segue to Ninmah’s journey to Earth. We left her on Mars. Ninmah and Anzu finished Alalu’s monument on Mars; she rocketed on to Earth.
As soon as she made planetfall on Earth, Nimmah showed Enlil and Ea seeds she brought. She tells them the seeds will bear a fruit from which a "euphoric elixer" can be made.
Enlil lured Ninmah into his airplane and flies her to his house "by the Cedar Forest" [Lebanon], as a perfect place to plant her seeds. "Once inside, Enlil embraced her, with fervor he kissed Ninmah, ’Oh my sister, my beloved!’ Enlil to her whispered. By her loins he grabbed her." But "Into her womb his semen he did not pour." [op.cit., 108] He promised her a healing city and said he’ll bring their son Ninurta to Earth.
But Ninmah chilled toward Enlil when he raped Sud, an assistant she’d brought from Nibiru.

10 - ENLIL BANISHED FOR RAPE; ABGAL BETRAYS ENKI, SHOWS ENLIL ALALU’S NUKES
Our story:
![]() Enlil [SItchin, 2003, Playing Cards] |
Though Enlil promised Ninmah a healing city and said he’ll bring Ninurta to Earth, Ninmah remained sexually aloof from Enlil.
Hurt when Ninmah’s rejected him sexually, Enlil mooned about his gardens. He watched Sud, Ninmah’s gorgeous Assistant Health Officer who’d been assigned to the Landing Platform there in Lebanon, bathing in his stream with the other young women from the medical team.
Enlil invited Sud to get high on elixir made from seeds Ninmah brought from Nibiru and planted in his garden. "Sud drank, Enlil drank too; to her Enlil of intercourse was speaking. Unwilling was the lass.... Enlil laughed and embraced her, kissed her. His semen into her womb he poured.
To Ninmah, Sud’s commander, the immoral deed was reported. Enlil, immoral one. For your deed judgment you shall face. So did Ninmah to Enlil in anger say. In the presence of fifty Anunnaki Seven Who Judge were assembled. On Enlil a punishment decreed: Let Enlil from all cities be banished...Let him exiled be. In a skychamber they made Enlil leave the Landing Place [Lebanon]; Abgal was his pilot." [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, pages 113-114]
Abgal, remember, had helped Enki hide Alalu’s nuclear missiles.
Abgal took Enlil, ostensibly, to exile in Africa. But in Africa, in what the Seven had said must be "a Land of No Return", Abgal showed Enlil the cave where the nukes were secreted. Abgal thus secretly betrayed Ea/Enki, his old patron and aligned with Enlil against Enki. Abgal told Enlil he choose a place to exile Enlil where Enlil would have the power to regain rule of Earth, using the missiles Ea believed to be so securely hidden. Abgal told Enlil, "Take the weapons into your possession, with the weapons your freedom obtain!" [op. cit., 114]
Meanwhile, Sud was pregnant from Enlil’s rape. Enki and the tribunal asked Sud if she’d marry Enlil if she were his official spouse. She agreed to marry Enlil as his royal wife. So the tribunal and even Ninmah pardoned Enlil and he and Sud married. Sud was given the title Ninti and bore Nannar/Sin, the first Nibiran Royal born on Earth.
Go Back
Ninmah had had enough of Commander Enlil. She was ready to explore her relation with Enki, her former fiancée.
Enki told Ninmah, "Come with me in the Abzu [Africa] ... your adoration of Enlil abandon."
In Africa, "Enki to her words of loving spoke, sweet words he spoke, ’You are still my beloved’ to her he said, caressing. He embraced her, he kissed her, she caused his phallus to water. Enki his semen into the womb of Ninmah poured. ’Give me a son,’ he cried." [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 115]
But Ninmah bore Enki a daughter, then, immediately, another daughter.
When he insisted on another pregnancy "Ninmah against Enki a curse uttered, whatever food he ate was poison in his innards....
"To distance himself from Nimmah’s vulva Enki by raised arm swore; from her curse Enki was freed. To the Edin Ninmah returned." [op. cit., 116]ENLIL & ENKI BREED COMPETING LINEAGES WITHIN ANU’S CLAN
Enki’s Lineage:
Enki’s eldest son, Marduk, recall, was grandson of Alalu. When Alalu had seized the Nibiran Throne he bestowed his daughter, Damkina, on Anu’s son Enki/Ea.
The first son of Damkina and Ea was Marduk. Marduk, Anu and Alalu had at the time agreed, would one day reign as King of Nibiru. So Marduk, the son of Enki and Damkina, was supposed to be the heir to the Nibiran throne.
But Anu deposed and condemned Alalu, sent Enki and Enki’s siblings, Ninmah and Enlil to Earth. On Earth, Enki and Enlil bred lineages. Powerful groups of patrilineally-related kin who competed for power in Operation Gold Dust.
Enlil bred his lineage on Earth with his wife, Sud/Ninti. Their sons together -- NANNAR/SIN and ISHKUR/ADAD/TESHUB -- reinforced him and his eldest son, NINURTA (Enlil’s illicit child with Ninmah) in their struggles with the Enkiites.Our story:
Ninmah had had enough of Commander Enlil. She was ready to explore her relation with Enki, her former fiancée.
Enki told Ninmah, "Come with me in the Abzu [Africa] ... your adoration of Enlil abandon."
In Africa, "Enki to her words of loving spoke, sweet words he spoke, ’You are still my beloved’ to her he said, caressing. He embraced her, he kissed her, she caused his phallus to water. Enki his semen into the womb of Ninmah poured. ’Give me a son,’ he cried." [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 115]
But Ninmah bore Enki a daughter, then, immediately, another daughter. When he insisted on another pregnancy "Ninmah against Enki a curse uttered, whatever food he ate was poison in his innards....
"To distance himself from Nimmah’s vulva Enki by raised arm swore; from her curse Enki was freed. To the Edin Ninmah returned." [op. cit., 116]

Bottom row: Three of Enki’s sons: Nergal, Gibil and Marduk
Enlil’s lineage above, some of Enki’s below.
By some 400,000 years ago, Enlil had established seven Mission Centers (Sippar the Spaceport; Nippur, Mission Control; Badtibira, Metalurgical Center; Shurrupak, Medical Center).
Anzu commanded 300 Nibirans on Mars Base and in the shuttle service. His men, the Igigi, rocketed gold from Mesopotamia, where Enki’s ships brought it from Africa. Anzu’s men on Mars transferred the gold to spaceships bound for Nibiru. On Nibiru, scientists powdered the gold and seeded it into the air. "Slowly was the breach in the heavens healing." [Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 117]
![]() Mission Control, Nippur [Sitichin, 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, page 88] |
When Anzu arrived at Nippur, Enlil’s Capitol, he found Enlil reluctant to cooperate. Enlil’s reluctance to receive Anzu reflected the challenge posed by the Igigi’s demands and especially by the leadership of Anzu, kinsman to the executed Alalu. Enlil insisted he -- not Anzu -- gave orders to the Astronauts. Enlil believed that he alone had authority over the entire Earth operation; Anzu and the astronauts should obey, not challenge him.
Enki, however, persuaded Enlil to go ahead and explain the gold mining, refining and transport system to Anzu. "Our father, King Anu," said Enki, "says to convince Anzu to keep his men on the job." * So Enlil admitted Anzu to his chambers.
But when Enlil took off his clothes and set down the key to his control room, Anzu purloined the key. Anzu then slipped into the control room and stole the computer crystals that ran the spaceport and the astronaut cities in Mesopotamia. He forced Ea’s pilot Abgal to take him to the spaceport, Shu.ru.pak. There, Anzu’s men declared him king of Earth and Mars. He shut down vital services at headquarters (Nibru-ki) and cut communication between Earth and Nibiru.
Ninurta (Enlil and Ninmah’s son**) shot Anzu down in an spectacular air battle. Ninurta then freed Abgal, captured Anzu and retrieved the crystals.

![]() Ninurta executes Anzu [Sitchin,Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, page 99] |
Before, Ninurta was Enlil’s successor only on Nibiru; Enlil’s successor on Earth had been Nannar, Enlil’s son with Sud. [Sitchin, Z., 1985, The Wars of Gods and Men, pages 95 -102].
Marduk, however, sympathized with the Igigi complaint that made them revolt – no R&R facilities on Earth, infrequent rotations back to Nibiru, little elixer. "OK, Marduk," Enlil commanded, "Go to Mars and take command of the astronauts; do what you must so they obey me unconditionally. On Mars, bury Anzu, improve conditions and boost morale among the Igigi."

* Sitchin shows that Ea, allied through his marriage to Alalu’s daughter Damkina and their son Marduk to the Alalu’s lineage (matrifiliated), was part of the plot. "It was with Ea’s connivance" that Anzu, kinsman of Alalu, is admitted to Enlil’s inner sanctuary for energy source crystals, vital computer chips, orbital data panels, and control buttons for Earth and Earth-Nibiru, Mars communication. Ea suggested Enlil entertain Anzu as a stall to responding to the demands of the Igigi.
Both Nannar and Ea would have benefited if Anzu vanquished Ninurta. But it was Nannar, not Ea, that Enlil exiled in the aftermath of the Igigi revolt. [The 12th Planet, pages 107 -116].
Anthropologists will recognize Enki’s description as a classical system of segmentary patrilineal (agnatic) lineages. In segmentary patrilineages, collateral lines (like those that descend from Ea and Enlil) cite alliance through different mothers to other royal patrilineages. The Ea lineage within the Anu clan, and especially the Marduk line of the Ea’s lineage, is allied with the Alalu clan for leverage against the Enlilites within the Anu clan). In anthropology, Marduk’s line is a matrifiliate of Alalu’s clan. Matrifiliated alliances give lineages external allies as they vie for precedence in authority within their patriclans.
** Sitchin, in The Wars of Gods and Men, 1985, page 97, says Ninurta’s mother was Sud, not Ninmah. Since The Lost Book of Enki is later, it’s probably correct, incorporating newer translations. Ninurta’s mother was Ninmah.
