Love your work
Suspected tomb of Gilgamesh was said to be found in Iraq. Wikileaks email leak of Hillary Clinton's emails under FOIA discovered "Requesting documents pertaining to the resurrection chamber of Gilgamesh, the location of his giant body and the location of the buried Nephilim." America Uncensored has verified this to be fact.
And the primordial godess nammu?
What source the "shar" of An-Shar and Ki-Shar come from?
It is similiar to Egyptian "Shu" and actually has a meaning in PIE and Slavic languages meaning "wide" or "spread" or "area" or "grey color" (szeroki, obszar, szary).
Wasn't An-Shar added to mesopotamian pantheon after meeting with PIE people some 2700-2300BC? To make it similiar to each other as: Hyperion - Anu and Ouranus - Anshar?
The tree is a bit off. For one, Ninhursag is Marduk's aunt, not mother. Nabu's mother is the daughter of Enoch, Sarpanit. And Enkidu was created by Enki (hence the "Enki" in the name), and not Anu. In Egypt, Marduk is Ra, Enki, Ptah which means Thoth in Egypt is Ningishzida his brother. Oxford does hold a slew of cuneiform tablets available for review with a translation feature on the site for all to peruse, too.
For anyone wondering why some gods have two names, it’s because Mesopotamia wasn’t a place with a unified language. Early on, there were two completely unrelated language families: the Sumerian language family and the East Semitic language family. Whenever possible, this chart highlights the Sumerian name, since that one is earlier recorded. The ones that only have one name are that way either because the names in both are the same or because the god only gained prominence by the time the East Semitic languages began dominating the whole region.
Yes
Regarding east semitic: I speak Hebrew which is a descendant of that language, and it's interesting how many of those god's names are preserved in stuff like names of stars or of months. Kind of shows what an influence the exile to Babylon had on Judaism and to Abrahamic religions in general.
@Shibumi Several of the gods. For instance Enki also has the name Ea, Enlil has the names Elil and Ashur, Nannar/Sin, Utu/Shamash, etc.
@Ghost Ghost yeah, but it still had a large cultural influence that you can notice with names of Mesopotamian gods in the Hebrew calendar or in names of planets.
@Ghost Ghost Yes, but the intellectuals are the people who wrote everything, and when they came back they took over ruling the region. They would also have been in charge of the calendar, and dominated the structure and form of their language. So there's that. The dominant language among the common people in much of the Middle East at that time was Aramaic, while the liturgical and priestly language in which most of the scriptures were written was Hebrew.

Couldn't agree more man

As an Iraqi who lives in Nasiriyah, the center of the Sumerian civilization, I am proud of this great civilization of development, discoveries and achievements over 28 thousand years. historical and scientificIts discovery is 10% bad. If the remaining 90% are discovered, it will reveal facts and learn the secrets of the Sumerian civilization, and it will be a historical and scientific blow.
if that 90% you mention is discovered, I would very much be interested, something that I am very interested in learning about, I find that the Sumarian culture is very interesting, & very relevent, & plays a bigger part in humanity than what we are lead to believe. also with Enoch
@@davidhunt1350
It is true that if the rest were discovered to me, Rania, that the Sumerians are the sons of Greece, Egypt, and Zeus the Greek, it is said that he is the same as Marduk of Babylon.If this happens over time, it will be discovered, and it will be a scientific, historical and religious blow, like the epic of Gilgamesh, but 1000 times greater than it.
why proud, sorry but it's not as if You have achieved these things.
Believe me I'm not proud of being British either.
I think nationalism and religion are the main sources violence.
I Love the history of the Annunaki who did upgrade the african bipedal hominids DNA

I read a lot of old books from my family's library (collected since centuries) and I always ended up finding it's very difficult to explain this to other cultures.
There are even more details, but overall it is the best that you can do.
Thank you!
Sincerely,

Nice. I bet those books are filled with knowledge. I would love to vist Iraq, Syria, Iran, Lebanon (Babylon) just to get a feel of the old Gods and be apart of your culture. So rich and full of spirit. I love reading about it. Stay blessed!
Please do your visit! Once you have the opportunity, don't hesitate.
You too! 🙂
Have a nice day!
Sarah I would like to come to your land what besides my passport would you recommend or am I required to have? Do I need a hosting? If not do you or can you recommend a service or guidance.
Could I Trouble you to recommend a few books? I will try to find them on Internet Archive, one of the greatest websites ever.

Its wrong
I'm gonna be bombarding these chart videos on mythology gods soon. I'm hyped. Good stuff dude
When Gilgamesh return to Uruk thinking that he not succeeded to gain the immortality and look at the walls of his city in this moment he realizes that the immortality not in how many years you live but in what do you do to be immortal so he became a good king and built a strong city and guess what after 5000 years we hear about him what a great epic
The only problem is: for 2000 years or more this history was forgotten in the midle of the desert...
@@ErickSoares3 This is not true, every culture has stories that directly match on to these.
@@ErickSoares3 not true. The gilgamesh epos was used to teach cuneiform for app 2000 years. OK with the end of the bronze age the cuneiform got a big hit on the head. But then the greek came with writing and Homers Illias with that old greek was taught for 2500 years.

Thank you for doing this work!
"...that the other gods felt that Inanna had it coming" is such a reoccurring feeling in my reading of Mesopotamian mythology. She is either totally deserving of all her renoun, or she is the pettiest deity between the rivers, no in-between
Not to mention try to be that white woman In every way, even hated her other versions the same way... I wonder how many other goddesses these woman did dirty.
I love the version where the Bull of Heaven Inanna had Anu send in Gilgamesh was Ereshkigal's husband, and in the descent of Inanna she's going to his funeral in the underworld. Ereshkigal's pissed cause not only did Inanna get her husband killed over her dating life, but she has the nerve to go to his funeral, so she kills Inanna and hangs her from the ceiling by a hook for a week before the stuff with Dumuzid happens. It's so good how it ties in with her being the political goddess too; she weasels out of everything on technicalities and with deals in the myths
She was not petty, Marduk killed her husband because he was not crowned king of the new age.
@@BarbBedford I agree!
@@diggs36 and then he killed her, Tiamat and the Iron Age began. War and chaos. We are still in this age.
Inanna was truly the first gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss.
@The Iguana I sure watch him but I knew about the girlboss thing way before Mr.Films covered it
What’s does it mean?
I wonder how she would have gotten along with Aphrodite. I mean these two are similar. Goddeses of love, beauty and being angry when someone is not lovey dovey.
@@cgt3704 Aphrodite is the Greek rewrite of Inanna -> Ishtar -> Astarte.
She was a genocidal warmonger, and used anyone she could to get her way with no qualms... A spoilt psychopathic being....
Outstanding and educational. Thank you Gentlemen. The ancient depiction of Gilgamesh slaying the bull is eerily similar to paintings of Mithra found in numerous Roman Mithraeum Temples. I am persuaded to believe that later religions were heavily influenced by early myths and legends, some continuing down to this very day.
Likely it also relates to the position of Taurus in the night sky in relation to the vernal equinox which shifted with axial precession.
That was fantastic! Thank you so much :-)
The flood Myth makes perfect sense for a people who lived where they did on huge flood plane between 2 huge rivers. Didn't flood all the time but when it did it destroyed almost everything until they started building bigger and controlling the water better.
@Burannu yhea it makes perfect sense for a people who experienced multiple life changing floods that literally washed away the buildings they lived in and destroyed everything they owned would later create a Myth that told the story as a warning to later generations of what could happen if they didn't build strong buildings and keep the rivers under some kind of control.
For me that's what most mythology and so religion was created for. To pass down the necessary stories and skills and understanding that people would need to thrive. Only later was it changed to the form we have today and become a static never changing thing. Religions used to change and adapt with the cultures they were needed by but these days they try to change the culture.
Obviously the worship of God like beings or religious places and things was another part of religion but the mythology I think came from a need to pass down important information.
@@itarry4 that theory would be great but for the clear statement in Genesis that the ark ended up in the mountains of Ararat, thousands of miles from the Fertile Crescent...
@@jeremyelford7926 er. The biblical Myth is different to the mesopotamian one and to me is a obvious copy with certain changes like God's and where the ark ends up to this older Myth that Jewish scribes would have heard when in babylonia. However thus video was about mesopotamian gods and talks about their Myth so...
It was probably inspired by the flooding of the Persian gulf and flooding of the black sea
It has been recently discovered a meteor big enough on the artic/antartic (i forgot which one) to have created a flood big enough around the world, the flood myth isnt exclusive to north african mythologies
As a dude living in Babylon city (hilla) I’m very enlightened by this video, I would also like to say that in Babylon ruins if you go you can actually see mud huts that are buried in sand and when it rains people usually find fragments of urns and even gold!
@h. bunny yeah it’s very safe especially if you go from Baghdad airport to Babylon which is a very safe journey about 110km about 2 hours in a car.
Woah that’s kinda cool!
amazing to think of the feet that have walked beneath your lands walkways and trade routes wow Peace be on you and your family ... the Ancient of days left His stories and history in the stones of your land
It is in the Babylon province but hilla and Babylon city are different aren’t they?
Where is Hilla located? Which country?
I've listened to and read a lot about the Anunnaki but have never heard it in this context I literally couldn't stop laughing, thank you I needed that
I second that. But everything I once thought I knew is no longer relative either🤔🤐🤦♂️. Lol. Oh well, live and unlearn is my motto.🚫
@@robertallen1969 Agreed! Anyone thinking that Enlil is a good guy loves delusion, and that Enki is anything but a surly, demon-possessed serpent, and that jealousy doesn't rage between them, even to this day, doesn't have a clue what's actually going on in this war. And that Nanherzag isn't the worst, as in smartest and most vile of the three of them, well, there's a wakeup call coming. That war between Marduk, Enki's son, and Nanherzag was over the 50-year overlap of the zodiacal change, which is how they divided up whose turn to rule the planet. She wanted Now, and he wanted to stay to the end of the overlap. He ended up dead.
And just so it's told here, Utnapishtam is the same as Noah. That was Noah's name. And it's correctly pronounced UT-na-PISH-tam. Of Ur. Every bit of this story is laughable, and not to insult those here from that region. History is history, and man did what he had to do to survive those ___turds. Interesting twists, for sure! No wonder any truth is so hard to find these days.
@Brother Joseph It's quite sleazy but I like freedom of speech.
Beautiful description! Thank you ,merci infiniment!
"He summons a wind...!" We all know the feeling!

@@eskapegoat86 And...? How was it?
Of course Gilgamesh is real, I heard he fought King Arthur In Japan
Edit: This is a Fate reference.
That's a misinterpretation. The Japan the scroll refers to was actually an underground city on Mars where The Roanoke colonists went when they left town... in 5200 bc lol
Of course not... Zashu
Don't
and he fought King Alexander the Great too
With Lancelot, Diarmuid, Cú Chulainn, Medusa and Heracles too?
Thank you for your work. I was so confused about all the connections and overlaps within the deities and their roles but this video helped me to comprehense through it that even Wikipedia couldn't do properly.
This is amazing! Thank you🌹
13:25 - "Dumuzid fails to mourn her properly"
Now THAT'S an understatement. lmao. Dude was having a blast while his wife was functionally dead.
Without the sister of Dumuzi and the sister of Inanna included, the story is wrecked. All these females scheming and dreaming.
As an Assyrian, I love learning about the religions that my ancestors practiced before Christianity. Keep these videos coming!
Christianity in itself is a descendant of the cult of Dumuzid, and God is simply a monotheistic version of Enlil
You are serbian maybe not an assyrian....you arent an immortal...

They just said Enlil flooded and killed all humans because he couldn’t sleep. How is that benevolent. That’s the most malevolent thing I ever heard.
I love that the name "Shamash" (the sun) has survived until today in modern Arabic and Hebrew. Also, Nabu (Nabi) also means prophet in Arabic.

Thank you so much for the fascinating precise information and presentation. I am off to watch the other videos you mentioned. I appreciate your research and time making this video which is incredibly helpful. Xxx
18:50 well that aged nicely….
I always wonder about random things. I never really thought about the oldest identifiable human remains but that's an interesting thought. Also, I've always thought the Epic of Gilgamesh was pretty gnarly. It's just cool how it's so old but still a good story and has recognizable themes and archetypes and everything - like it feels almost like it could have been written much more recently.
Gilgamesh knows how to deal with thirsty gals.
@Sports Entertainment carnival phantasm says otherwise.
She offered him love to placate his warring tendencies when enlil said he was a warlord and the people were crying for help he would send the flood and innana said no grandfather let me see if I can bring him to the side of love. She wasn't thirsty and could have who she wanted she was trying to sacrifice to help humanity by living with a tyrant but his pride, blood thirst and weird proclivities for his half animal lover led to him turning her down. Your interpretation is very bitter and mgtow.
Gilgamesh: "Begone THOT!"
If you ever end up revisiting this topic, I’d be very interested in seeing these names plotted across a map, time, or even both. It’s hard to understand where and when these figures were held in belief, or just referenced.
This video was amazing, loved every second very informative. Can I ask, are you an historian?
ty
Sumarian lore is a forerunner to Greek myth in alot of ways
You are 💯%on the dot
18:50 The fact that this is the only joke placed in the end of a 24 min long video has me dying
It's not a joke, it is fact.
Yeah that caught me off guard 🤣
Remember the phrase that "this bread is my flesh, this wine is my blood" etc? Well, that's originally from Dumuzid/Tammuz. Dumuzid is Sumerian name while Tammuz is Babylonian, Akkadian and Assyrian name. Tammuz dies and goes to underworld every year in the mid summer, when the rivers recede, plants and ground dies, and barleys are harvested. People cries after Tammuz while handmill grinding the barley into flour, because that is Tammuz they are grinding into flour. So they make bread and that is flesh of Tammuz "bread is my flesh". Fun fact, 5000 years later people still cry after Tammuz in Jerusalem in front of "The Wailing Wall" and I bet they don't know who they're crying for. Another fun fact, the month July is still called "Temmuz (Tammuz)" in Turkey. Another fact is that "Layla & Majnun" love story from 7th century is "Dumuzid & Inanna"s story. In "Nowruz" which is still celebrated every year at spring equinox in Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, India, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan is basicly celebration of sacred marriage of Dumuzid and Inanna where rain and earth meets, plants grows and gives fruits. It is basicly a new year celebration and it was always celebrated as new year for thousands of years before moving new year to month January 1st. Every folklore and tradition can be traced back to Sumerians.
I think a lot of them know exactly who they're crying for!
Actually the fast of Tammuz has got nothing to do with the mesopotamian god. Only the name of the month itself. One can argue a similar demystification happened with the constellations too. It's to do with the destruction of the temples and commemorating the erection of a golden calf (likely in reference to the mesopotamian divine bull that Gilgamesh slays)
And not every folklore can be. The Sumerian tradition shares a common proto Indo-European lineage and coincides with the mass adoption of pastoral farming across much of the world starting around 6000 years ago - predating these stories by at least 2000 years
wow ! that was a lot to take in . vary interesting i must say wow. good stuff sir and take care. WOW!
I don’t think Utu is wearing a spirally hat, Gods in Mesopotamia often have headwear that are adorned with upwards sweeping horns, as can be seen in surviving statues of Lamassu, mythological guardian that are kinda like the Mesopotamian versions of Sphinxs. I think the spirally patterns are three sets of closely packed horns viewed in profile.
I agree in the tablets it's the number of horns that show your position. Anu was 60, Enlil was 50 and Enki was 40
This narrator is a little bit silly.

Enki sounds like a type of Loki character :-)
Sort of, but unlike Loki he is actually helpful. He saved Inanna (Ishtar) from the Underworld and he saved humanity from the Great Flood. He also designed mankind and oversaw its creation by Mother Goddesses.
Enlil his half-brother is more like the Loki character he was the one who wanted to get rid of us. Enki wanted to help us.

Thanks that was a bunch....wow nice narration
Would love to see this continued to include the evolution of belief in Gods to today across cultures.
magnificent! I love this story of Gilgamesh! as well as story of Enlil and Enki!
I was of the understanding that some of the bricks in the massive wall structure that surrounds Uruk are stamped with the name of Gilgamesh? A wall described in texts that is indeed there! In the end of the epic it tells of the death and and burial of Gilgamesh and how the river was diverted and his tomb built at the bottom of the river and then re-diverted over the tomb. Several years ago ground penetrating radar undertaken at Uruk discovered what seems to be that exact scenario. No further excavation or investigation has officially taken place since, unfortunatly.
I've been studying and researching this for the last 8 years.... Every religion, mythology and historical lore human history produced on a global scale - the major stuff anyways - carry the most similarities amongst the Canon of Gods and Goddesses that ruled over humans in the Past. From Enki, to Zeus, to Odin, to Osiris, the list continues.... Through countless hours and years of piecing texts, stories, myths and good ole interpretive reasoning I've slowly begun giving our past a chance at telling the truth as a whole.
Enki can be identified with Zeus, somewhat. But so do the stories of biblical figures like Noah. Or Gilgamesh as being the great grandson of Uta-Napishtum(Noah's Babylonian Name). Not to mention the connected cataclysmic event that every culture recorded and adopted.
This video helps me a lot. So thank you
Humans even today love to gossip. Mostly real life is boring so they add their own spices and make it interesting by adding old stories they must have heard before. So 75% is reality and 25% is fiction or legend. Now as years go by and in this case thousands of years, these stories further get twisted and a totally new story is born which is 10% fact and 90% fiction / myth. If that story is interesting enough, it becomes religion.
I always thought Zeus was more like Enlil
This is a disbelieve idols

@@leekelley4160 My mom's side is British, and Nimrod was used in England for the name of a war plane. Since it's biblical, it could also just be your family back then was very religious and looked for a unique name.
@@NIMRODWARDA Could be. My grandmothers side was British too.
Thanks for the chart and video! Can you make one for the Canaanite pantheon too? :)
Thank you for another hilarious video 😂. Love the part where a God is defeated by a giant turtle 🐢 😂
It must be a mutant ninja turtle 😂
Laughed really hard at 20:00 , "Apparently Gilgamesh REALLY misplaced them."
Looking at the reliefs selected for each deity, man, it's no wonder Japan turned Ereshkigal into an anime girl...
Love the history of humanity. Thank you for informing us!
Every video, book, podcast etc. you see or hear underlays the laws of censorship set by the rulers. You know nothing with certainty! I know nothing with certainty! Every old building, statue or else you see today is meant to be seen by you, slave. All the other buildings you should not see are changed and manipulated or have been destroyed. History of humanity is the biggest crap ever and if we go on allowing them, and believe them blindly, we will never find out where we come from. These ∆ People sharing and making videos won't tell you anything important. Just the opposite is the case, they delete the truth and lie to you. So what do you think is great? Nothing is great on this earth except the lie!
Ive heard from 2 other sources about how Nergal is a half son of Enki that is kinda physically messed up whom worked in the Mines/ aka underworld. Also ya did miss out of Ningishzida aka Thoth is also a Enki born and who fought with Marduk sometime after the Igigi stopped working the mines aka underworld cause of Adamu adapti and igigi went to mesopatamia to work for Enlil and even Marduk whom seems to respect his uncle Enlil more than his father Enki. Probably because he is full blooded and not half and also was yearning for Enlils power for which later on was spared by King Anu and was exiled to supposedly southern tip of South America for an observatory outpost if i can remember correctly.
Jack's sarcasm makes it a joy to watch this video
Looking forward for Phoenician-Levant pantheon family 🙏🏻
Thanks for these Amazing Charts... from The Gods!!! I never heard of Key. When you start to see the original stories and timeline from Bible it shows that they really lived along time. Example by the time it gets to Methusula.. Only living about 900 years. .Hey just remember- Eve and Lilith were framed. It's so interesting when we figure out who Marduke really is. Yes Tell me about the Norse Pantheon.. Enki sounds like Loki
Marduk was defeated big time by Enlil the great when he fell alongside his Babylonian empire 😃
So much for that QE2 joke.
Zecharia Sitchin's Earth Chronicles book series is a MUST read which covers all of this in great detail!
Gilgamesh in mythology: Big muscular man with great beards
Gilgamesh in Fate: Golden Boi
I love how so many modern genesis details are similar to these older stories, these details percolated through but became a different thing with the essences of the old stories, like Adam being made of earth and the sky being a dome.
Or, for the Christians and Jews in the audience, the original story of Genesis including the Flood were known to the descendants of Noah, some of whom starting changing details over time as the stories were handed down and bastardized, and the similarities with Genesis are the factual, historical details that survived the process.
Yep, they brought lots of stuff home after the babylonian exile. And dated a lot of things back.
@@mweskamppp Some seems related to what might have been picked up in Egypt too, there was trading as much as war and slavery all round. Would be interesting to think of ideas where 'God of Gods' and 'Ancient of Days' came from . Would be interesting to look at the temple shown and contrast with the layout of the temple solomon bulit
@@highpath4776 Egyt ruled the levante up to syria for many centuries, on and off. Of course there was an intensive cultural exchange.
About slavery. In egypt slavery was not known until the semitic hyksos from the levante conquered the nile delta about 1700 bc - 1500 bc. After that the egyptian used slavery as well. The first known idea of a single god goes back to Amenophis IV aka Echnaton (Akhenaten). All the other gods in the near east have been tribe gods with some lesser gods around. For the shasu it was JHW. All of them in the fertile crescent followed the old sumerian/east semitic myths as far as i can see. Some dropped the main myth and concentrated on one aspect for their tribe god. F.e. Weather (JHW), others chose other aspects so as harvest and fertility. It were mainly smaller groups offside of the big civilization in the cities and kingdoms of mesopotamia who did drop part of it. Why go for harvest - when you are a pastoralist. Why go for a war god, when you are not bound to a city. etc.
