Rise of the City: How the great god Marduk built the city of Babylon

Nobody uses the word "pedagogical". It's a nothing word when you're talking about a professor giving a lecture.

[@tobystewart4403]

"We are nearly certain..." says this gentleman of his translation of one single block of cuneiform. Dr Tinney is surely entitled to be more arrogant, if he wanted to. He has done a huge amount of work. But, he doesn't want to. He is content to be "nearly" certain. This basic humility is hugely reassuring, as it suggests that the mind doing the enquiring is yet open. It doesn't know everything, and seeks to understand new things. By contrast, have a look at the state of modern physics, or even social "sciences". In these fields, we are presented with abstract ideas built on abstract ideas, yet they are presented as absolute truth and fact.

[@blueovertoneeagle8158]

17:10 I would like to agree with you but when he calls the the gap in literature as strange and then recites the communication about a grain shipment it becomes evident that the gap is related to a regional conflict which isnt strange at all...so it seems to me that at times his humility is actually being used as a mask to withhold information. He says things like they (his colleagues) are trying to make sense of xyz...and it tends to be when what he is speaking on appear to have obvious parallels to the Meso American myths and those scholars do the same thing when they talk about the stories.. they will not or cannot bring themselves to point out the obvious

[@catherinehogue3656]

I appreciate the lectures and the drawings, artifacts but is there a reason why the camera does not focus more than 5 secondes so we can like the audience have a full screen experience ? The camera show only half of the screen, we dont need to see the audience, the blank space on each side, it is unfortunate that we cant immerse ourselves in the beauty, details of the writing and colors and have the narrator comments at the same time. Thank you Penn Museum for taking the time to have these lecture on line but camera shots are too far.

The last question is fascinating. A lady asks whether the jewish culture informed the culture of Babylon, during the captivity after the fall of the temple of Solomon. She wants to know if there was a reciprocal exchange between these two cultures, whether the jewish informed the Babylonian, as well as visa versa. Dr Tinney walks a tightrope with his answer. He is very careful not to point out that jewish culture claims to originate from Abraham, who was from Ur (!) of the Chaldides, nor that the mythology of the jewish culture was taught to them in Babylonian texts that were more than a thousand years old at the time. Judaism is such a fascinating faith. Whereas the christian accepts the miracles of Christ as such, and discounts all that went before as mere celestial negligence, the jew seeks to retain the deeper meaning of ritual. As such, the jewish faith faces an inherent crisis of legitimacy. Are they, in essence, merely re-branding Sumerian mythology? If so, what do they bring, of singular cultural character, to the evolution of theology? This is not to condemn jews in any way. All people must be free to worship as they think best, else worship has no meaning or value. Furthermore, perhaps there is merit in the claim that Judaism keeps alive the oldest set of myth and traditions, and that their documented chain of association with the earliest Sumerian myth gives weight to their theology. In any case, if Judaism is ultimately proved to be insufficient for our collective understanding of ourselves, one suspects that it is would be a team of jews who proves it to the satisfaction of everyone else.

[@vincentgatekeeper1421]

Look, I'll be the truthful bad guy. I've been saying it for years now, the "Jews" stole almost every ancient story, myth, factual tablets, and history from the ancients and rewrote that history as theirs. Removing and replacing names, gods, etc. with their own! Sumerian tablets were calculated at 30,000 years BEFORE any Jewish movement turned religion came around. If one reads the sumerian tablets, all the "Torah and Bible" stories are already there! And some of not most of those stories/documented history the Sumer wrote about happened before them! Even ancient wall carvings on the pyramids discuss the same stories! So, sorry to bust anybody's bubble, but Jews just are good story tellers that's it. They hold no real truth.

[@floris.927]

@@vincentgatekeeper1421 Eh… I’m not sure how to respond but you REALLY didn’t bust any bubble. (1) Civilizations dated back at most 10,000 years ago (Neolithic Revolution), so the “30,000 years” number is impossible. (2) Sharing similar tales and gods is a prevalent trait among these early traditions. Romans did that with Greek gods and Greeks with Egyptian gods. They simply assume all are the same set of gods, but worshiped under different names. It’s called diffusion. What I was talking about is that, while Judaism shared many elements with older traditions, such as emphasis on religious rituals and protocols (unlike early Christianity), they placed much more emphasis on morality and piety. Suddenly there is this God telling people what can and cannot be done, and restricting access to himself to only a few chosen ones. These traits seem not to be in earlier traditions. If they were not diffused from elsewhere, they must be innovations.

[@patrickneary8446]

Great q and a at the end. Very interesting subject.

[@open2626]

Marduk is an interesting character! It feels to me, like he took the older texts and changed them to make him the hero. I say this because Enki and Enlil seemed to be here (on Earth) for thousands of years according to the tablets. And they are often mentioned in Sumerian stories! Yet, Marduk is the son of Enki and is explaining how he basically started the formation of Earth by destroying Tiamat (probably millions of years before Sumer was even founded, let alone the formation of the Earth lol) and in the next moment, he talks about creating Babylon (which came well after Sumer)! Things that make you go hmmm?!

Absolutely amazing lecture. Love them from from second one. I better go find the one he's referring to in the beginning. It's incredibly exciting. I hope to live long enough to see the day when the connections to the people who lived in Sahara when it was green for thousands of years and who fled out when drought became the day of order because of natural climate change. One tends to think that some of them fled towards the east and founded Egypt, presumably all caused by the 5.9 kiloyear event. For Green Sahara, look for African Humid Period or Neolithic Subpluvial. Don't leave out archelology at Lake Chad who coexisted during this period and has produced remarkable finds. Some of the more severe chages were caused by a gigantic outflow of 0 degree Celsius cold melting water into the Atlantic ocean from the massive Northern Anerican icesheet covering large parts of Canada and northern USA during the Iceage, lowering the temperatures and changing weather patterns Go look for the 8.2, 5.9 and 4.2 kiloyear event. For a presumed reason of the Flood Myth behind the Biblical Noa and the Ark, all are convinced it was rewritten from the Epic of Gilgamesh and the only place where I have seen my own thoughts dublicated by random is the excellent and spectacular video of "8 The Sumerians -Fall of the first Cities" by the channel Fall of Civilizations... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmPPe4iFq5WbgqM ...where previous dry agricultural land in the Persian Gulf, were flooded at the Hormuz Strait by the Arabian Sea when the sea levels rose 125-140 meters from the melting of the glacial ice. One day the water came flushing in. Unstoppable. This event some 8-10000 years ago would have left in impact in songs and dances and echoed through generations as it was tradition. This must be the roots behind the flood myth in that area (others could be present in the Indus Valley civilization...haven't researched it yet) Got carried away.....he he....

[@jeffatwood9417]

This is fascinating, thank you.I wish I could have a conversation with Dr. Tinney. I share his obsession with cosmogonic myths. I would love to know more about Dingir, having some ideas myself, but the contraction must have meaning. The literal meaning of Marduk is logic much like Chinese ideograms. The continuity is also a fascination of mine as well since I focus on how cosmogony provides the paradigm for a healing logic. I also have a fascination with Anzu and Ninurta, being the agricultural, hunting and healing god. I see myths as metaphorical memories for medical alchemy. Take Thor fishing for Jormungandr, for example. It matches Chinese medicine ideology and Kundalini practices of "raising kundalini." The liver is Wood (the dugout boat), Thunder lives in the Wood, and Thor is an angry god who seldom sits still around injustice (anger is stored in liver, and liver heat makes jumpy nervousness). There are mythological comparisons from India to Iceland concerning Etana, with the Jiroft finds showing how a myth can travel across cultures when the wisdom behind the imagery can be deciphered. Medical wisdom and history is hidden in myths.

[@yvonnesmith6152]

These city-states were infinitely warring with each other. Most have different patron deities. When one city-state gets taken over, their patron deity gets taken out of their Temple and brought to the victor. The ongoing war against each other is reflected in the battles of the Gods. The extreme anxiety these people must’ve been exposed to on a daily basis is incredible. Real fear of failed harvest and starvation….which happened quite frequently. The fear that war, destruction and slavery will come and visit them again, must’ve been equally horrible. The only thing these people had was to hang on to these “imaginary protectors” and the only way they could take control over these fears was to sacrifice and exalt their patron gods. You see far less “infighting” in the Egyptian pantheon, because once the Kingdoms were united, no one was going to mess with them (bring war, destruction, etc) So, Egyptians were far more concerned with fertility, weather, rains. Poor Sumerians/Mesopotamians, their pantheon really is just reflective of their chaotic lives.

It is fascinating. I agree that there is no surprise that there is common material with the Hebrew scriptures; but I find it more surprising that the classical archetype of the storm god killing the water serpent is very VERY prominent in Indo-European mythologies. I would have passed this off as middle-eastern sharing in historical times, but the existence of these myths in Indic, Celtic and Germanic mythologies makes me wonder; Who came up with it first? Is it a semitic myth or an indo-european one? Did a semitic myth travel through Europe and Central Asia with agriculture, domestic cattle, some technology or with later historical diffusion, or did the myth enter the Akkadian corpus with exposure to Anatolian or Iranian indo-europeans?

[@seanloer1928]

All myth is based on something that actually happened. Our so-called "mythologies" are basically history.

[@simple8mind8]

@Nic Forster The stories that are common all around the world such as Leviathan, the flood, and Babel. If we look deeper we see that each different people groups telling of the story differs slightly. This is because before the tower of Babel the world spoke one language. And this language was not like language we have today it was more complete the the languages we have today. This old language is hard to comprehend today because that part of the our brain has gone dormant. But this old language wasn't just a way of communicating it actually was a library of history within itself. They had no reason to write it down because everyone knew it, and the language itself was the way history was recorded. It held the collective knowledge, and history of mankind it was the language Adam spoke. From the time of Adam to the Babel event there was only one language with no division there weren't different versions of it. However when Babel occurred this language was no longer accessible, or that part of our brain went dormant.(by the way God promises I the Bible to restore this language) But it was a different way of communicating than today. Though we lost our old way of communicating. We did not lose our memory of what came before we only lost our ability to communicate it. The city, and tower being built were abandoned because God destroyed the tower with cosmic Thunderbolts. Also a storm came that was mighty like a hurricane over land without the water. This storm drove the people's in different directions over the face of the Earth. Before this event there were no different races just family branches. No black, and no white. This massive storm is what enabled people to cross the ocean to their new home. But not like you might imagine.. For example this storm was so powerful that along the coast of Africa there were reeds growing in abundance. This storm uprooted them, and threw them into the sea. This created a large mat of floating reeds. The people couldn't see in front of them, and they had no option but to go where the storm drove them. It was too powerful to go against so the people were driven off the coast on to these massive floating mats of reeds. The people held on for dear life as the mats were driven across the ocean by wind not waves. You can see the scars of this event over Africa today in the sands of Africa. But the people arrived on the shores of south america this way. But that's just one example other people groups were driven in other directions like across the old land bridge of the Mediterranean. Once all the people were driven to their new homes all over the earth by this storm.. Then the people began to develop their languages in the new areas, and after this storm a new celestial object appeared. Besides the sun, and moon there was another celestial object that not only gave light, but radiation. You can see this third celestial object in various cultures stone carvings like Sumeria. It's usually depicted beside the sun, and moon but instead of having equal Ray's going all directions like the sun. This object instead gave light in four directions, and radiation in four directions marked by wavy lines instead of straight beams. This radiation affected the whole earth changing different people's groups dna depending on where they came to settle. This was God creating the different races once he had separated them from Babel. This radiation passed through our bodies like cosmic Ray's changing our dna. But when this radiation went through certain types of stones it vibrated the minerals in the rock by radiation to the point where they began to dissolute becoming radicals. The remnants of this event is still found in rock today like granite having radiation. What many don't know is this radiation is also in basalt, diorite, and limestone, and etc. This radiation is described in the Bible as "The mountains melting like wax before the flame in the presence of the Lord of Hosts. It took some time once this new celestial body left our solar system for the rock to harden again. During this period of some 500 years or more God not only scattered us, and gave us our new identities as different races.. But he also made sure we would stay in our new home because the people could build their new home in stone. As the rock solidified so did our new identities. Now the reason we find the same stories told by people all over the world though they are separated by oceans. Is because before we all knew these stories in the one language. But when the people were divided into 72 people groups each developing their new language. Then that old story now has to be told 72 different ways. When these stories were recorded after Babel the languages were still being constructed. It was hard for people to communicate in the beginning they used pictures to convey ideas rather than having letters like the languages today. So with these imperfect languages the one story we all used to know came to have 72 versions. We can still find the original story this is how... I'll answer in my next comment.

[@simple8mind8]

@Nic Forster All over the world every one of the most ancient people groups have mythologies that are eerily similar to other people on the opposite side of the world. How is this so? To call it mere coincidence when it's on such a large scale is laughable if not down right insulting to common sense. But we find remnants of all the major biblical stories such as Leviathan, and Babel, and the flood. Now before the Babel event we all knew these stories in one language before we were spread abroad while we were were all in one place. Which by the way I believe was Africa. The tower I believe was in North East Africa one of the reasons I believe this is because if you have that many people in one place you have to be able to feed them. And Africa is the only place that has ancient agricultural terraces everywhere scientists now think it was enough farm area to feed 6 billion people if fully operational. But back to the story a common theme among mythos from around the world is that the tower was destroyed by massive thunder bolts the likes humanity had never seen. By the way that's a hint about the thunder that if you use it to look for the tower you can find the tower in North East africa. But it wasn't just Thunderbolts also there was a unworldly storm that had winds like a hurricane. The storm was so powerful that the scars of this storm are still visible on the landscape today. This storm drove people in different directions being driven on far distances by the fierce storm. The people of South America came to their continent by mats made out of reeds they were driven off the edge of the African continent where the wind had blown coastal reeds into the water making large Reed mats. They clung on for dear life eventually being swept by the wind riding on Reed mats onto the shores of South America. Other people were driven over the land bridge that used to connect to the other side of the Mediterranean. Others were driven west into the Levant, and even further west. Now before when they had one language they all knew stories in this one language like the flood story, and the tale of God clubbing Leviathan smashing one of his heads. Also using his, or sometimes her body to divide heaven from earth. Or the story of Babel the ancient Homeland. These stories previously known in the one language now was told in 72 different languages, thus making 72 different versions. The likelihood that any of them would be able to recount the story perfectly in a new language after the Babel event is wishful thinking. They had to relate the same information, but now in a new language thus making a new version of the story. You can take any common story found in ancient mythos such as the flood for example. And if you look at all the stories together finding which people groups agree about one part of the the story, and which don't. So let's say four people groups stories agree with eachother, but two people groups myths disagree with the majority each saying something unique. Well then in that case you would go with the majority, or that the ones that stand alone are probably wrong. So if you do this with any of the common myths from around the world finding, and keeping similarities while discarding discrepancies.. Then you essentially end up with the biblical telling of the story. Take Leviathan for example which was known as a serpent, and or dragon he was connected with the raging sea. And was likely a celestial body, or something flying in the heavens when he was defeated by God.. The stories say that the seas stopped raging, and we're calm. So he was equated with a sea monster who by his thrashing caused the sea to rage.. In the mythologies ancient people groups called him by different names such as Tiamat for the Sumerians, jorgmungandr for the Norse, Typhon for the Greeks, apep for the Egyptians, vritra for Hindus, sussanoo for the Japanese, illuyanka for the hittite, and so on. The aboriginies of Australia called him rainbow serpent, and canannites called him lotan which is phonetically similar to Leviathan. But in these stories the characters names might change from language to language as shown above. And sometimes the way in which they describe what happened can differ, but be the same in the gist of what happens.. Here's an example some ancient people group might say the King of the God's smashed the serpents head with a club. While another people group telling the same story would say he used a mace, or a sword. Or one people group might say this god shot arrows at this god while another people might call them sling stones, or Spears. The details can differ, but usually the gist of the story stays the same with small deviations cropping up as discrepancies. But as I said before if you look at all of them together then if there is a discrepancy it's usually the minority who holds that view while the majority will agree. When we see this phenomenon in ancient mythologies from around the world the only plausible explanation is that at one time in the past we all knew the story, but somehow we're seperated. When the Babel event happened, and we lost our one language then we had to tell the same story in 72 new ways. Each with a language that was being developed from scratch this is how confusion got added to the stories so that they differ slightly, but remain cohesive in format.

[@simple8mind8]

Many people don't know what Gobekli Tepe is, and archaeologists wonder how could people have built this during a time when people should have been caveman. But while most of the human race at that time were indeed not so civilized.. There were a few who were that is Noah, and his wife, and their sons. They carried knowledge of many things from the previous epoch before the flood. Noah new how to build, and grow food, and he knew about all the animals, and plants.. Now in the dead sea scrolls they found the Genesis apocryphon which expands upon certain biblical stories. One such story is that Noah some time after leaving the ark, and beginning to populate the earth. After he had planted a vineyard, and made wine. He then made an altar unto the Lord, and sacrificed from the animals that were multiplying. He sacrificed many animals then he called his wife, his sons, and daughters to a great feast to honor the Lord. This is when God appears to those at the altar, and speaks to Noah in the sight of all. He is pleased with Noah's sacrifice, and vows to never again destroy the earth completely with a flood. He then shows the rainbow, and tells Noah it is a sign of the covenant made with him that day. This event is recorded in many mythologies with the rainbow featuring prominently in association with Noah his wife, and sons. And the people believed Noah, and his sons to be like god's because of how long they lived. And that Noah, and his sons were given a gift from God. That the fear of them (Noah, and his wife, and sons) would be over every animal of the earth, but this gift was given to them alone. In many rock carvings this is depicted by showing Noah, and his sons surrounded by ferocious animals that seem tame around them like pets. Now Noah, and his sons lived for so long because they were born before the flood not after. God ordained that after the flood people who were born would not live as long. Noah preached to the generation of the flood warning them the flood was coming, and to join him. He preached this message for 120 years so after the flood this is how long God gives man to live from now on a 120 years time limit. Noah lived for near a thousand years about 400 years before the flood, and about 600 after the flood. His sons Shem, ham, and japheth lived around 600 years about long enough to bury Noah their father before dying themselves. But the people disobeyed Noah, and God by building Babel as they were supposed to be fruitful multiplying over the whole earth. In fact at Gobekli Tepe is where God divided the earth among Noah's sons. But after they disobeyed, and we're scattered at Babel Noah helped them in their new homes. But Noah had to visit each people separately some by boat crossing the sea they all record this happening in their myths. Noah gave them the keys to start their civilization quite literally. Noah didn't only save the animals he also saved the seeds of the parent plants of the old world. But in the old world man had corrupted all the earth by mixing plants, and animals. Noah took all the uncorrupted animals or genetically pure animals. He also took the origin/genetically pure plants that hadn't been mixed, and corrupted. In the new world he taught his sons how to breed plants properly, and over the years each people group developed their crops from these mother plants. For example in south America the three sisters corn, beans, and squash all came from a single plant Noah gave his son. Itzamna learned from Noah how to breed plants such as maize to make the three sisters. Now this happened all over the earth he taught the people how to breed food crops, and grow on large scales. He taught them everything we see from back then that seems to have came from nowhere suddenly. In every ancient people groups mythos you can find stories about Noah, and his sons. They usually are venerated as God's especially by later generations. Noah also taught them about God, but after he died the people went astray, and even before for some people groups. It's all in the myths of different peoples it can be hard to decipher at first, but once you see it then it becomes clear.. Anyone who wants to delve deep into these things is welcome to email me at [e-mail] what I've already said is only the tip of the iceberg. Those so called "hand bags" seen in every ancient people's rock carvings were seeds from Noah they were highly prized. Some bags held seeds, and others held pollen or genetics from other flowering plants. In Sumerian rock carvings they actually depict carefully pollinating flowers, and selective breeding. They learned this from Noah, and they also learned animal husbandry. The animals that were on the ark were parent animals genetically pure, and within those animals were amazing genetic diversity potential. I'll put it this way.. All the thousands of breeds of dogs we have today came from a pair of wolves. Dogs are different than wild animals however being that man has spent more time with selective breeding on dogs than most animals. The same thing happens in nature just not as fast as humans forcing repetitive cross breeding. But the point is you can take wolves, and over time by selective breeding make poodles which don't have much potential genetic diversity anymore. A poodle has lost a lot of genetic information compared to what the wolves had originally. What I mean is this you can turn wolves into a poodle by breeding. But you CANNOT turn a poodle back into wolves by breeding that information has been lost to breeding. But the point is the ark didn't hold all the animals we see today it held their parents who had endless genetic possibilities their code was long. So imagine it like this a wolves genetic code is a billion pages long, but a poodles is only a million. Anyway I'm getting off topic haha hope folks have enjoyed my rambling. I know I sound thoroughly crazy by the way, but I assure you it took years of study to discover these things. I am however ready to be ridiculed for it as per usual..

Then once reintroduced the same skills were used to create the multiplicity of nuance that is involved today in what we call both Hebrew and Arabic. With respects to the cultures of both of course. أنا لا أفهم إذا كان هذا هو السؤال؟ أعتقد أن العبرية والعربية أخوة. تطورت اللغة العبرية عندما يتم نفي أحد الأخين لغرض أداء قدراتهم لعدد كبير من المهام لسيد العالم في ذلك الوقت من المنفى. ثم مرة أخرى ، تم استخدام نفس المهارات لإنشاء تعدد الفوارق الدقيقة التي ينطوي عليها اليوم ما نسميه كل من العبرية والعربية. فيما يتعلق بالثقافات على حد سواء بالطبع. אני לא מבין אם זו השאלה? אני חושב שעברית וערבית הם אחים. השפה העברית התפתחה כאשר אחד משני האחים הוגלה במטרה לבצע את יכולותיהם למספר רב של משימות עבור אדון העולם בזמן הגלות. שוב, נעשה שימוש באותם כישורים כדי ליצור את ריבוי הניואנסים הכרוכים היום במה שאנו מכנים עברית וערבית כאחד. לגבי שתי התרבויות כמובן.

[@wkrapek]

The Israelites baffled me. They spoke a Semitic language yet they acted like Hittites. Then I was reminded in Ezekiel 16:1-6 that they're a Hittite-Amorite hybrid. I've looked at their Hittite side in a lot of my videos, now Dr. Tinney has inspired my Amorite investigation. Because of this video I now know it was people related to the Patriarchs who launched Babylon as a great power. Thus we can assume that -- since they massively upgraded the Epic of Gilgamesh -- the Jews didn't get the story of the creation of Adam from Babylon at all. It was already part of their cultural heritage; and the Amorites used it to upgrade Enkidu's story. They also made him into Gilgamesh's lover. Just as David and Jonathan were lovers. Once again, we're looking at Amorites. Also: the discussion here of Marduk and henotheism is interesting. Because YHWH is also a storm god who came to rule his Divine Council. And like Marduk he came later. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped the sky father El. This, in turn, gives an interesting twist to Deuteronomy 32:8-9: "When the Most High (Elyon) apportioned the nations, when he divided humankind, he fixed the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the gods; YHWH’s own portion was his people, Jacob his allotted share." Jacob and Hammurabi were contemporaries. Obviously all of this seriously corrodes the foundation of the Documentary Hypothesis; which revolves around different names for one deity when in fact we're looking at two different gods. Ultimately the Israelite expression was -- not henotheism -- but dualism. The "two YHWHs" ideology we see in Second Temple Judaism. Which in Christianity comes out as Father and Son. If you've seen one you've seen the other. This is confirmed by the fact that Jesus often acted... like a storm god. Including -- I would say ESPECIALLY -- the walking on water.

[@fredgillespie5855]

@@charlesjurgus - From what I remember the US Constitution was devised with the UK Constitution in mind. In the US you have three countervailing powers, The President, the House of Representatives and the Senate and the HofR and Senate are not necessarily partisan. Then there is the Supreme Court that can ensure all legislation conforms to the Constitution. The UK is different. Here the largest Party forms the government and regardless of the opposition it can enact whatever laws it pleases - unless the members of the ruling Party join with the opposition and vote against their own Government. Even if that happens, at worse it will result in a motion of no confidence where the rebels will inevitably vote against the motion. Our House of Lords can only amend or delay legislation and the government can disregard them if it so desires. As a result, as a former Lord Chancellor said - "We have an elected dictatorship." History - In the 1660s we had a couple of civil wars, the issue was the power of the King. Traditionally the King had ruled with the consent of his Barons, but this had expanded to include a wider section of society. The King claimed the Divine Right to rule without parliament and he lost his head as a result. Eventually all the dust settled and a constitution was drawn up whereby "The King in Parliament" was the sovereign power in the land. ie. the King couldn't enact any laws without the consent of parliament - and that is where the Mace comes in, it represents that absolute power that parliament has to enact whatever laws it pleases. Not long after the new constitution came into being the situation was reversed and parliament ruled with the consent of the Crown - the ruling monarch being no more than a rubber stamp who, if they refused to "rubber stamp" legislation, would create a constitutional crisis. So in the UK the Mace does represent that absolute power. In recent years we have been given a Supreme Court and there complaints can be heard if legislation is claimed to infringe individual rights or constitutional restraints on the government. So the absolute sovereignty has been diluted a little. BUT, there is nothing to prevent the Government from abolishing the Supreme Court.

[@charlesjurgus]

@@fredgillespie5855 You are using the term "absolute power" hyperbolically in defence of your previous statement. Power of veto, or assent (?), may grant sweeping power, but it is not "absolute." There is a big difference. All of human history is a story of negotiation to share/take power and survive, or not. In the system you described, legislation is still public knowledge and elected officials still play a part... There is still a mutual check on power by these devices alone. In places such as post-Soviet Russia... as in Soviet Russia... you merely have power capabilities who've secured their relative turfs and negotiate between one another according to their own interests... not guided by law or in the interest of the given communities directly effected by those power-capabilities or the decisions they make. Dissent within in such communities is stifled because the good graces of these power-capabilities is doled-out according to compliance or complicity with the given power-capability. Effectively freezing dissent out of the equation to a degree that confounds law. In a term... in such a system, people have been reduce to a "means to an end" entirely. I shouldn't have to say this at all, but no man (or woman) is, or should be treated as a means to an end, but as an end in and of themselves. While this value is under constant assault... under "absolute power"... it is a foreign concept. Absolute power is the very societal expression of the lack of this value. The culture of the Brits still recognizes this value despite the worst influence of the US and the casual, yet belligerent, ambitions of Russia

One of the Hebrew names of God, or of the gods; used in the Old Testament about 2,500 times, meaning “Mighty One” or “Strong One.” Elohim is a uni-plural noun referring to the twin flames of the Godhead that comprise the “Divine Us.” When speaking specifically of either the masculine or feminine half, the plural form is retained because of the understanding that one half of the Divine Whole contains and is the androgynous Self (the Divine Us). The Seven Mighty Elohim and their feminine counterparts are the builders of form; hence, Elohim is the name of God used in the first verse of the Bible, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Serving directly under the Elohim are the four beings of the elements, “the Four Cosmic Forces,” who have dominion over the elementals-gnomes, salamanders, sylphs, and undines.

The earth, the sky, the waters, everything - except in the earliest writings these are personified or anthropomorphized. In the re-imagined Hebrew scriptures, they are not, which is why Christians don't connect the two. Without knowing the significance of those earlier gods, the connection is lost.

@@jellyfishi_ There´s no "angel"...they are Anunnakis...higher beings from another planet. Ancient minds took things that came from "heavens" (space) like "gods", "angels"....

I think this is story of our solar system. They told the story as a battle, but it was an explanation of celestial chaos, where out of chaos, the vanquished tiamat became earth. It does seem like Marduk's remaking of the history of many things after the Anunnaki left earth to him. marduk made himself nibiru in his version of history. When nibiru passed, it's moon kingu slammed into tiamat shattering it, the new body Ki (earth) ended up with kingu as it's moon. Babylonian texts and those texts based on babylonian texts are not reliable.

Marduk is real and Christ told us we get to judge him and his friends at the end of time

Ancient history is fascinating. The Enuma Elish is without any doubt an important document for the history of mankind. But it is not a real description of factual events. At first, we must skip super natural powers. And deities cannot control planets. In my opinion, it describes the collision of two planets. The planet Nibiru and the planet Tiamat. After the collision the remains of Tiamat are mentioned planet Earth. That planet Nibiru has a symbol that we find on many cylinder seals. An eight beamed star, mostly with a clear nucleus in the centre. The planet Earth has a moon crescent as symbol. The planet Nibiru is inhabited and those inhabitants came to the earth. They are the gods, far superior to the primitive humans. Because of the collision the planet Earth was no longer completely covered with water. There was land, mountains, rivers and lakes with sweet water. The problem is that planet Nibiru still crosses the ecliptic plane from the planets around our sun every few thousand years, because its orbit around our sun is eccentric. Depending on the distance to the ever moving planets, it causes havoc on at least the planets Mars and the Earth. On our planet this havoc is best known as Noah's Flood. And that crossing is the cause that civilizations emerge and vanish in a fixed schedule. To learn more about recurring floods. the cycle of civilizations and its timeline, ancient high-tech and alien deities, read the e-book: "what I know about Nibiru". You can read it nicely on every computer, tablet or smartphone. Just search for: know nibiru The book shows many pictures, some very well known but many unknown yet.

King means big man. So the term king was distorted to tax the modern people so they could financially like a king?

The Bible teaches that Nimrod founded Babylon.

[@Gracenglory5]

Nimrod became known as Marduk. He was deified. Nimrod/Semiramis/Tammuz=Osiris/Isis/Horus. It is said he (Nimrod/Osiris) was killed chopped up into 14 pieces and scattered. Semiramis/Isis gathered all but one piece, the male member (phallus). Semiramis is said to have been impregnated by “solar rays” aka the phallus of Nimrod who is now deified/Isis is said to have made a golden phallus and became impregnated by Osiris, also now deemed a deity. Tammuz/Horus is now born…son of god and the act becomes circular and perpetual. Hence Semiramis/Isis aka Ishtar are the goddesses of fertility.
