They came from Nibiru, to mine
the third rock from the sun
and things were going smooth until, in due time
there was a mutiny among
the Anunnaki in those labor camps!
A mutiny that drove the Nephilim
aristocrats to enact a new race
of miners by mixing their genes
to transform a Habilis into a Sapiens
and thus we came to be in the sacred Eridu,
a home for the Nephilim far from their real one,
an Eden for the first earthling or Adamu!
Such is the tale of creation in ancient Sumer,
the tale of the Anunnaki from Nibiru!
.
There is depth and information at the same time. I really enjoyed reading it dear friend!

thank you. I do want to get to history-poems. Are they called epics? Not mine particularly, but in general?

usually epics are extra large narratives in heroic couplets that have certain features (according to the theory)

yeah I really should say poems about historical subjects…not real epics. I really don’t know a lot about writing poetry. I am a historian, so have a lot of papers that can be re-worked into articles or stories.

I love this post. And by coincidence…yesterday I almost included Ashurbanipal in my A-Z post on LIBRARIES…these wonderful Sumerian texts have been preserved for thousands of years. Ashurbanipal (Akkadian King) had a vast library of these stone tablets, which he “borrowed” to be copied, or otherwise “acquired” through the efforts of his troops. I didn’t know about the mine revolt, so that is a real FIND for me. Thanks… 🙂

I went back and forth to refer and comprehend. I see the semblance with Genesis and somehow the mutiny bit makes me long no further than what is happening around me . This one is so complex and has so many layers , takes me back to aeons ago and pulls me right back to how things are right now in society . Am not sure if I am reading too much into this. Correct me if I have.
