THE KINGS LISTS
AMORITE – SUMARIAN – BABYLON – SEALAND
As scribe, I wrote in a clinical economical manner, giving you, the reader information reduced to pertinent facts and arranged according to a principle of familiar order. The cycles succeeding one another in linear fashion like HUMAN GENERATIONS in a genealogical tree.
My thoughts and calculations indicate that the TIME LINES GIVEN are spread across various locations and during the various reigns of these RULERS. We need to understand that the years were not consecutive years, they are a collective across our DATE LINE.
THE KINGS LISTS
SUMARIAN – BABYLON – AMORITE - SEALAND
THE INITIAL KINGSHIP WAS ALSO KNOWN AS THE
CHRONICLE OF A SINGLE MONARCHY
The composition opens with a succinctly narrated MYTH with three defined propositions
- A Political organization, a gift of GOD to HUMANS
- It was by nature, monarchical
- This Monarch had to be manifested in one place, and we see it first appearing in KISH.
At the time the MESOPOTAMIAN people were polytheistic, their world was an enchanted universe, teaming with a multitude of divinities. The chronicler naturally chose to set out his solution to the problems confronting him by means of MYTH and with reference to GOD.
So it was that this composition was no history of MESOPOTAMIA but a chronicle of ROYAL POWER, with a succession of ROYAL CYCLES of variable durations. ROYAL POWER passing from City to City, each in turn the UNIQUE REPOSITORY of an institution that had come down from HEAVEN.
SUMERIAN KING LIST
6 500 BCE – 1 750 BCE
We take our information from the SUMERIAN CUNEIFORM TABLETS, found by dedicated Archaeologists. These are ANCIENT SUMERIAN KINGS LISTS which suggest that HUMANITY is over 266 000 years old, with rulers spanning over many thousands of years.
Let us start our journey. The SUMERIAN KINGS LIST was written in the ANCIENT SUMERIAN LANGUAGE, the language of SUMER and AKKAD, which was also spoken in MESOPOTAMIA, during the ANCIENT FERTILE CRESCENT, now modern day IRAQ.
It was a language isolate, meaning it was a language unrelated to any other language and we ask ourselves “where did it come from?”
We continue to wonder, the SUMERIAN LANGUAGE was later replaced by a language referred to as SPRACHBUND, a mixture of the SUMERIAN LANGUAGE and the original AKKADIAN LANGUAGE.
By the year 2 000 BCE, the SUMERIAN LANGUAGE had been completely replaced by the AKKADIAN LANGUAGE.
As we journey along, we must accept that nothing can be totally correct, not dates, events or even people, be they kings or queens or just citizens of various regions of the period on EARTH – as the time is just too far ‘away’.
For this writing we will visit the FIRST and the ORIGINAL ‘FIND’ known as the WELD-BLUNDEL PRISM, with its inscription of the LIST OF SUMERIAN KINGS, today housed at the ASHMOLEAN MUSEUM, at OXFORD in the UNITED KINGDOM.
The WELD-BLUNDEL PRISM was found in the city of LARSA, todate the OLDEST DATE SOURCE.
There is also the SCHEIL DYNASTIC TABLET of earlier date, but cannot be recorded as such as it belongs to a private collector and is not allowed to be analysed as yet. The SCHEIL DYNASTIC TABLET only reports on four SUMERIAN CITIES. We do not know which four.
PREDYNASTIC ANTEDILUVIAN
6 000 BCE – 3 150
None of the PREDYNASTIC ANTEDILUVIAN Rulers have, nor can be identified as no archaeological evidence has yet been found that they indeed lived. However, the SUMERIANS are reported to have lived during a period, refered to as the PREDYNASTIC ANTEDILUVIAN PERIOD
AMORITE
7 000 BCE – 2 000 BCE – 332 BCE
So much is written about the AMORITE PEOPLE, and ‘so much’ is not. I could not find an agreed starting date nor a region for them. I cannot for sure settle on the fact that they descended from any of HAM’S sons. A few reports them to be from SYRIA and one even reports them to be from ARABIA.
What was found is that both the AKKADIAN and the SUMERIAN TEXTS refers to the AMORITES as a PRINCIPAL DEITY, they also refer to an AMORITE KINGDOM, established in a region spanning presentday WESTERN and NORTHERN SYRIA.
A lengthly report I enjoyed was that the AMORITE were an indigenous people of CENTRAL INLAND ARABIA (not SYRIA) during the BRONZE AGE PERIOD from around 3 200 BCE to around 2 000 BCE.
They spoke a SEMITIC LANGUAGE. The age of this SEMITIC LANGUAGE, evidence was found, dating back to 8 000 BCE and it seems to have died out around 332 BCE.
What they are credited with is that they built elaborate Cities, behind large fortification walls, protecting palaces and temple buildings. The AMORATIES, built the city of CARCHEMISH, established in 7 000 BCE, during the NEOLITHIC PERIOD, today an ancient TURKISH CITY. ALEPPO, established in 5 000 BCE and EBLA, established in 3 500 BCE.
MYTHICAL ERA
5 350 BCE – 5 000 BCE
Evidence indicates a SUMERIAN DELUGE at the town of SHURUPPAG (modern day, TELL FARA, IRAQ) along the localised river path, which stretches as far north as KISH. This event has been confirmed as per RADIOCARBON DATING. What I found on my journey is that this event could have happened possibly between the years 5 350 to 5 000 BCE, within the HOLOCENE PERIOD. Located between SHURUPPAK and KISH. I find that the Volcano DAMAVAND in IRANIAN MOUNTAINS erupted after hundreds of thousands of years of being dormant.
This eruption took place soon after the arrival of “From HEAVEN THEY CAME” in the year 5 400 BCE. The following five not four Cities. ERIDUG ● BAD TIBIRA ● LARAG ● ZIMBIR ● SHURUPPAK, were affected.
These Cities, did not die off when the kingship of these DYNASTIES shifted to a newer region, along the chronological order as listed. These individuals were related, as per the term DYNASTIES, which denotes succession of rulers of the same BLOODLINE.
It is said that the years of rule was 28 800 years for ALULIM, during his kingship of ERIDUG, using the SKIP COUNTING METHOD, he ruled for approximately 5 years. But ERIDUG was ruled for approximately 64 800 years, which calculates for approximately 12 years by no less than 6 more kings.
I found, but cannot reason as to why they used the SKIP COUNTING method to report their ruling periods. Further they used the year of their arrival as their BASE for their SKIP COUNTING PRINCIPLES.
There could be many errors with what I am saying, I decided to conclude the DATELINE as I see it, I will settle on the answers to my calculations as follows.
| ERIDUG | Reign was 64 800 years | 12 years in our calculation |
| BAD TIBIRA | Reign was 108 000 years | 20 years in our calculation |
| LARAG | Reign was 28 800 years | 5.5 years in our calculation |
| ZIMBIR | Reign was 28 800 years | 5.5 years in our calculation |
| SHURUPPAK | Reign was 21 000 years | 4 years in our calculation |
Then it appears the entire region was taken by URABA-TUTU who ruled it for approximately 18 600 Years or only 3.5 years. He was the father of UTNAPISHTIN as per the EPIC OF GILGAMESH.
WHAT THIS PERIOD OF OUR CREATION WAS THE UBAID CULTURE – 5 300 BCE – 4 200 BCE, was only an 800 year period.
A Period which showcases their skills and intelligence. I could not resist showing their craftsmanship.
Examples are today housed for safe keeping in the LOUVRE MUSEUM, in PARIS.
DENISE
I do not know what you are thinking right now, but I am in awe of what our PREVIOUS CIVILISATIONS were capable of. I wonder where the skills dissipated too. More, this was a world ADAM and his family grew into, so I need not say more. They could never have been as primitive as we are made to believe, ADAM, being naked!!!, that had to be a figure of speech.
