Two similar stories were written by different people, in different ancient times, and in different languages.
The first was written by scribes of the Sumerian god Enki and published by Zachary Sitchin.
The second was written by the biblical patriarch from the antediluvian era, Enoch. A common root, theme, circumstances, and legacy.
Are the 200 rebellious Anunnaki Igigi and the 200 fallen Angels the same story?
The Lost Book of Enki – Tablet 9
The Igigi came from Lahmu to Zimia in great numbers. Only a third of their crew remained on Lahmu; two hundred came to Earth…
…One of them, named Shamgaz, became their leader…
…Each of the Igigi kidnapped a maiden and took them by force.
They went with the maidens to a landing place in the Cedar Mountains.
…They bore them children; they were called the children of the rockets.
Book of Enoch 6:1-3
1 When the people had multiplied, in those days beautiful and fair daughters were born to them.
2 And the sons of heaven, the angels, saw them and desired them. One said to the other, “Come, let us choose wives for ourselves from the daughters of men and beget children for ourselves.”
3 Shemihaza, their commander, said to them…
Book of Enoch 6:6
6 There were two hundred of them in all. They descended to Ardis, the summit of Mount Hermon. They called it Mount Hermon, because on it they swore and bound one another with curses.
Book of Enoch 7:2
2 And they became pregnant and gave birth to great giants. Their height was three thousand cubits.
These two accounts share a common root:
1. Landing Place: The 9th clay tablet and the Book of Enoch likely speak of the same landing place for the Anunnaki in Sumerian accounts and the Angels in Judeo-Christian accounts.
– The Cedar Mountains (Mountains of Lebanon) are a mountain range in Lebanon, known for its historic cedar forests and its highest peak, Qurnat al-Sauda. – Hermon (Arabic: جبل الشيخ, Jabal al-Sheikh; Hebrew: הַר חֶרְמוֹן, Har Chermon) – the highest peak of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range.
2. Both accounts identify the same number of 200 Igigi/fallen Angels who opposed the authority of the supreme leader/supreme god.
3. Both accounts report that the Igigi/Angels married earthly women.
4. Another common feature is the offspring that earthly women bore from their unions with extraterrestrials.
5. The commander of the fallen Angels and the rebellious Igigi has a similar sound, suggesting a common root.
From the above conclusions, it can be assumed that both written accounts, although differing in authorship and date of creation, suggest that they are telling the same story, which occurred on Earth in the distant past.
This also suggests that Enoch’s account was based on a second, much older Sumerian written text, which once again proves that most Judeo-Christian accounts are borrowed from Sumerian ones.
As always, I leave the evaluation of my reflections to each individual.
