A Synopsis Of The Epic Of Gilgamesh Poem by Gert Strydom

A synopsis of the epic of Gilgamesh


'It came to pass, when man began to multiply on the face of the earth
and daughters were born unto them that the sons of God saw the daughters of man that they were fair;
and they took them wives of all which they those and the Lord said, my spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh, yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also, after that, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bear children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. '
Genesis 6: 1-4.

1

If viewed that there were gods on earth:
extremely advanced and mighty entities,
that only had themselves as real enemies:
astronauts that had on Nibiru their birth:

a planet that in a great elliptical orbit swerve
around the sun between Jupiter and Mars and the identities
are in cuniform and hieroglyphs as well as their activities:
the Sumerian hero Gilgamesh, thought that he eternal life deserves,

being a demigod: wit
h his mother Ninsun, the goddess:
the tablets discovered in Nineveh contain a deluge tale,
that is similar to in the Bible Noah's / in Utnapishtim's flood.
Gilgamesh was of Erech / Uruk in 2900BC king and adventurous:
did bare handed against two lions and entities prevail,
he was a third human and three thirds a god.

2
Gilgamesh was benevolent from the beginning
of his reign but the death of mankind bothered him:
to be able to live forever he wanted to ascertain
while the prospects for humans seemed grim,

to his godfather Um / Shamash he appealed:
'in my city man dies; oppressed is my heart, '
and his emotions was not concealed,
where from a human he was somewhat apart.

Shamash responded: 'in creation
the gods, death for mankind allotted:
make a feast of each day and night, ' he said in acclamation,
where Gilgamesh in this joyful sex spotted

to youth to retain where the god meant
enjoy life while you can: not death by this to prevent.
F tje3
In Uruk Gilgamesh at night roamed the streets
in search of just married couples to have first sex,
wherever he did another's bride meet
and the outcry of the people did the gods perplex:

Ninmah with the essence of several of the gods created at length,
a savage man called Enkidu as an equal:
as Enki's creature with wisdom and great strength
to wrestle with him as to other mortals he was unequal

and after a terrible wrestling match they did
each other befriend and Gilgamesh expressed
to have eternal life while it seems the gods does this forbid
but in his roaming Enkidu found a solution this to address:

in the Cedar Mountain the gods have a landing place
but there Enlil created a robotic guardian the mortals to erase.

4
Both the goddess Nimsun and Gilgamesh prayed
to his godfather Shamash for both help and protection
to at the Cedar Mountain to help in any way
where both Enkidu and Gilgamesh approached with circumspection

as the monster Haiwala, a mechanical contraption,
that used fire and a laser ray with which mortals to destroy,
of a roaming robot it seemed a kind of adaption
where to Lebanon they travelled: in a trap did strategy deploy:

fearsome the monster did both spot
with whirling winds in help Shamash did Haiwala blind,
but blinded in its sensors it could not forward or backward trot,
while with their weapons they sneaked in from behind:
to the ground Enkidu down did it struck
and both destroyed it from strategy rather than luck.

5
Gilgamesh discovered a tunnel hidden by trees
but weary after the battle the two stopped at a stream,
as he washed Gilgamesh's body was by water agleam
and Ishtar naked and inviting Gilgamesh sees,

direct as at a flower the humming bees,
Ishtar did him address in approval, liking and esteem:
did him immediately to be her lover deem
but to her invitation Gilgamesh not agrees,

whereas cross-roads she used the landing place,
he listed all of her know lovers she used and discarded
at his words pain, shock and anger was on her face.
his words were truthfully and unguarded

but enraged with her sky ship Ishtar took to the sky:
begged the god Anu to punish Gilgamesh who did her defy.

6
The goddess Innana / Ishtar fell with him
both in love and in lust and did offer intimate relations
but knowing her by reputation: for Ishtar the prospects were dim
being hurt at heart and not in aberration,

she caused the Bull of Heaven to be unleashed:
God.Anna that at the Cedar Mountain was protected
by the Huiwala mechanical contraption,
with Ishtar in her hands having its leash,
where she now viewed Gilgamesh in abomination,
where both mighty men: demigods ran for their lives
while Shamash aided them to quickly to Uruk to return,
to outside the city together both survives
at attacking that ferocious beast each got a turn,

at the city in help warriors came to aid the king
but into pits that it's snorting opened it did them fling.

7
As the bull turned Gilgamesh behind the rampants got protection,
Enkidu took a chance and leapt on its back,
while Enkidu shouted for Gilgamesh to with his sword to attack
at the base of the horns and neck tendon connection.

This call in the bull-fighting arenas still echoes today
and by the tail Enkidu spun that bull around,
while Gilgamesh leapt in to help it slay
and there was blood and corpses on the ground

while in Uruk Gilgamesh ordered celebrations,
Ishtar set up a wailing and with the gods in council
Anu wanted both to die while against both Ishtar acted in accusation
but Enlil and Shamash found it unacceptable

as Anu wanted both Gilgamesh and Enkidu to die
did to their aid reasoning and excepting part of the blame apply

8
Enkidu felt ill and into a coma went,
as the gods commuted his sentence
to hard-labour in the mines and emissaries sent
which clothed, like birds had wings but they did not have repentance.

Gilgamesh instead to the mines sailed near the Arabian coast,
where the wrath of Enlil came as the sails did tear and it capsized
and with swimming to shore Enkidu and Gilgamesh was engrossed
and after reaching the beach by Enkidu dying Gilgamesh was agonized:
aimlessly in the wilderness Gilgamesh wandered
but later guided by the setting sun Gilgamesh trekked,
did prayers to Sin change as he Enkudu's death pondered where he believed Sin did this region affect

but as he neared a mountain-past
a pride of lions leapt at him and he was aghast.

9
With his weapons he fought off the lions as best he can,
where he smote and at them did hack away:
against many hungry lions was the only man,
with bare hands had against the last two lions to array.

Only in the skin of one of the lions clad,
Gilgamesh did the mountain-pass did traverse
he saw a vast lake and a walled city made him glad,
although to a foreigner the people could be averse,

as outside the city near the sea he did an inn approach,
Suduri, the ale woman held a jug of ale
and a bowl of yellow porridge but in fear felt him to reproach:
thought she would not against a wild man prevail,
bolted the door and it was with great difficulty
that Gilgamesh convinced her of his identity.

10
Gilgamesh told her about all his experiences,
fed and clothed he inquired about the way
where he had to distinguish between facts and variances:
that only brave Shamash did that Sea once sail she did say

when to the Land of the Living
if around or over the Sea he can go,
where it's still called the Dead Sea we know,
of a boatman Urshanabi she was also information giving.

Sumerian records about nuclear blasts has not misgiving:
about a Spaceport at a hill, to Sodom and Gomorrah did bestow
a radio-active wind did deadly over all Sumer blow
destruction of a god and his followers the gods wanted to be achieving

but Lot's wife did not turn to salt but was vaporised,
as to two gods to strike targets against Marduk it was authorised.

11
Urshanabi did wonder about Gilgamesh's identity
and believed him as he his experiences told
but for the crossing they needed 120 shaped poles to be ready
with which the drifting barge was to be controlled

and after the crossing Gilgamesh followed the road
up to two columns and there had to Itka to turn,
where from Ullu-Yahnash he needed permission to be bestowed,
from that god, as at Mount Mashu rockets of the leaving sky-ships burn

to a shorter road to Utnapishtim to take,
where he begged Shamash to intercede
and for him this possible to make,
and after deliberation the gods gave permission to proceed,

but at the mountain the rocket-men guarded the entrance,
had a spotlight as a weapon with which they controlled admittance.

12
In the sweep of the deadly spotlight
Gilgamesh shielded his eyes,
as he closer came to halt they did advice,
forward he paced during the night,

with an approaching space-ship the sky was alight,
more intense the rocket men their weapon applies,
that it does him not harm and he is not human they realise
and for them he is totally out of fright.

He asks with Utnapismthim his forefather to meet,
do his experiences to them repeat.

13
They let him into the inaccessible path
which was an extremely dark subterranean way,
where it took twelve hours to reach the bright day:
he was happy to see the sun in its arc,

in the enclosure of the gods he did closer embark:
where an artificial garden carved from stones was on display,
different fruit trees and the Tree of life did in on his mind play:
it was like an exceptional well cared for park.

Utnapishtim studied Gilgamesh for a time
and wondered about him, about how he did come,
but Gilgemesh related his kingship, ancestry and in his prime
Utnapishtim befriended with him did become

where his account of the deluge Utnapishtim did tell:
how one of the gods wanted all men to death to expel.

14
In the Biblical version the same deity
wanted to wipe man off the face of the earth,
but on Noah, a righteous man and his family had pity
and he was of perfect genealogy served God from birth

but according to Utnapishtim and the Sumerian version
more than one deity was involved with Enlil and Enki as protagonists
with Enlil having aversion
to intermarriage with the daughters of man as an antagonist
when with the coming of Nibiru closer to earth,
the accumulated ice on top of Antarctica did melt,
where the death coming man did not derserve
as it came near the meteorite belt,

Nibiru's gravity created the ice in the sea to slip,
created an ice age with each god
to outer space on each available trip,
forced by stricter Enlil in not warning or helping acting odd

but Enki who was involved in creating man
to build an unsinkable boat had a plan.

15
In Sherpa Utnapishtim did bring the seed
of animals and plants abroad his huge ship,
and enough food his family and a navigator to feed,
as for survival they took that eventful trip,

where Enki of the gods as chief scientist
could select, obtain and provide the seed of all living things,
to save humans in vain he did to Enlil insist,
which us to Utnapishtim and his ship brings:
designed to have under water three quarters of it,
to resist the surge as the elements tossed it around,
where tightly and sealed everything did fit
with the sign the gods taking off from the ground,
with construction, outfitting and loading as Enki directed
to exact specifications the boat then was perfected.

16
Airborne while in spacecraft earth orbiting
the Annunaki witnessed the deluge overwhelm
all the lands as it did total destruction bring,
while to two peaks a navigator was at the ships helm,

but in her spacecraft Ishtar cried out as if in travail,
Ninmah was crying about the destruction of mankind,
where along with Enki she did create while the flood did life curtail
and a kind of salvation Enki had in mind,
while to the peaks of Ararat that did first appeared
the ship and spacecraft of the gods did head,
while the tidal wave did cease the ship Ararat neared,
the birds scouted dried land that was ahead

and an altar was built with the smell of roasting meat
and the gods were happy this offering to eat.


17
Utnapishtim also told about a secret plant like a prickly berry bush,
it had as a brier's vine thorns and although it does prick,
rejuvenation it gives and into a huge pipe under water Gilgemesh did decent,
did deeper himself with rocks underwater push,
while to get it, no person did him prevent
and finally, he had in his hands that thorny stick

and after greeting with Urshanabi excited
again, the Dead Sea they did together cross
but bathing in a well much later Gilgamesh was delighted
as a snake silently took it and to Gilgemesh it was a loss

and Gilgamesh cried being denied,
the snake shredded scales as the stick to it it's magic applied.

[Poet's notes:
Erech / Uruk was in modern-day Iraq.

There exist many ancient depictions of rocket-ships from Nibiru and sky ships. Even around some mosques today the rocket-ships are seen.

The Bull of Heaven could also be translated as the Bull of Anu seeded from Nibiru.

Shamash is the god that was the commander of the eagle men / the commander of the pilots.

ANU denotes to 'the heavenly one / the one who rules in Nibiru.'

EN. LIL denotes to 'Lord of the command.'

EN.KI denotes to: Lord of Earth where before this it was EA denoting to 'he whose abode / home is in water.'

EN.KI's spouse was NIN.KI denoting 'spouse who to earth came' and she bore him a son MARDUK.

MARDUK denotes to 'son of the pure mound.'

NIN. MAH denotes to 'great lady, ' who is the half-sister of both Enlil and Enki.

The Annunaki denoting to 'those who from heaven to earth came.'

Ishtar denotes to 'Lady of the battle field.'

SIN denotes to 'as the moon.'

SIN is the father of Shamash

SHAMASH denotes to 'as the sun.'

The Land of the Living was a city where the gods lived that included Shamash and also Utnapishtim / the Bible's Noah who was an ancestor of Gilgamesh.

The translation of what befallen Lot's wife could either be to turn to salt or to be vaporised.

The seed was the Akkadian word 'zera, ' standing for: that from which living things sprout.]


‘n Sinopsis van Gilgamesh se epiek

"Toe die mense op die aarde begin vermeerder
en daar vir hulle dogters gebore is,
sien die seuns van God dat die dogters
van die mense mooi was, en hulle het
vir hulle as vroue geneem almal wat hulle
verkies het. Toe sê die HERE: My Gees sal
nie vir ewig in die mens heers nie, omdat
hy ook vlees is; maar sy dae sal wees
honderd en twintig jaar. In dié dae was daar
reuse op die aarde, en ook daarna, toe die
seuns van God by die dogters van die mense
ingegaan en dié vir hulle kinders gebaar het.
Dit is die geweldiges uit die ou tyd,
die manne van naam."
Genesis 6: 1-4.

1

As dit beskou word dat daar gode op die aarde was:
geweldige gevorderde en magtige entiteite,
wat net hulleself as werklike vyande gehad het:
ruimtereisigers wat op Nibiru gebore was:

op ‘n planeet wat in ‘n groot elliptiese wentelbaan wentel
om die son tussen Jupiter en Mars en die identiteite,
is in spykerskrif en hiërogliewe en ook hulle aktiwiteite:
die Sumeriese held Gilgamesh, het gedink dat hy die ewige lewe verdien,

as ‘n halfgod met sy Moeder Ninsun, ‘n godin:
die tablette ontdek in Nineve bevat ‘n vloed verhaal,
wat soortgelyk is soos in die Bybel in Noag se / in Utnapishtim se vloed.
Gilgamesh was van Erech / Uruk in 2900VC die koning en avontuurlustig:
hy was ‘n derde mens en twee derdes ‘n god.

2
Gilgamesh was as koning goedgunstig vanaf die begin
van sy heerskappy maar die dood wat die mensdom ondervind het hom gepla:
om ‘n ewige lewe te bekom wou hy vir homself verseker
toe die vooruitsigte vir die mensdom hopeloos lyk in hierdie verband,

vir sy peetpa die god Um / Shamash het hy vir hulp gevra:
"in my stad sterf die mens; en verdruk is my hart"
en sy emosies was nie versteek maar pynlik openlik,
waar van die gewone mens hy ietwat anders was.

Shamash het geantwoord: "in die skepping
het die gode, die dood aan die mensdom toegeken:
maak ‘n fees van elke dag en nag, " het hy gesê om sy woorde te beklemtoon,
waarin Gilgamesh in dit vreugdevolle seks raaksien,

om jeug te behou waar die god bedoel het:
om die lewe te geniet terwyl mens kan:
nie om die dood daarmee te vermei nie.

Snags het Gilgamesh in Uruk deur die strate geswerf
opsoek na pasgetroude paartjies om eerste seks te hê,
waar ook al hy ‘n ander se nuwe bruid in die hande kon kry
en die geklaag en uitroepe van die mense het die gode geruk:

Ninmah het met die kern gedeeltes van verskeie gode
‘n wilde mens geskep genaamd Enkidu as ‘n gelyke:
as Enki se kreatuur met wysheid en groot krag,
om met Gilgamesh te stoei wat bo die mens ontwikkel was

en na ‘n geweldige gestoei het hulle
bevriend geraak en Gilgamesh het uitgedruk
om ewiglik te leef waar dit voorkom of
die gode dit aan die mensdom verbied
maar Enkidu het in sy swerftogte,
voor hulle mekaar teëgekom het:
‘n oplossing gevind om dit aan te spreek:

by die Sederberg het die gode ‘n landingsplek
maar daar het Enlil ‘n robot wag geskep
om mense weg te hou en uit te wis.

4
Beide die godin Ninsun en Gilgamesh het gebid,
vir sy grootvader Shamash vir beide hulp en beskerming,
om by die Sederberg op enige manier te help,
waar beide Enkidu en Gilgamesh aan daardie plek
uiters versigtig nader gekom het,

maar die monster Haiwala, ‘n meganiese uitvindsel,
wat vuur en ‘n laserstraal gebruik om mense te vernietig,
was van ‘n robot wat swerf ‘n aanpassing,
toe hulle na Libanon reis: in strategie ‘n lokval opstel:

in warrelwinde om te help het Shamash Haiwala verblind,
waar in die sensors daarvan verblind
dit nie vorentoe of agtertoe kon beweeg nie,
terwyl hulle met hulle wapens van die agterkant af insluip,
waar tot die grond Enkidu dit verbrysel
en beide het dit uit strategie eerder as geluk vernietig.

5
Gilgamesh het ‘n tonnel wat deur bome en bosse versteek was ontdek
maar moeg na die geveg het die twee by ‘n stroom gestop,
terwyl hy was het Gilgamesh se liggaam van die water geglim
en Astarte het vir Gilgamesh nakend as ‘n uitnodiging raakgesien,

direk gereageer soos by ‘n blom die bye wat zoem,
Astarte het hom aangespreek in goedkeuring,
vriendskap en verering:
het hom dadelik om haar minnaar te wees uitgenooi
maar haar uitnodiging het Gilgamesh nie aanvaar,

waar as ‘n kruispad sy daardie landingsgebied gebruik het,
hy het al haar bekende minnaars genome wat sy gebruik het
en van ontslae geraak het,
met sy woorde was pyn, skok en woede op haar pragtige gesig,
sy woorde was waar en vir haar te direk

en verwoed het Astarte met haar lugskip opgestyg:
sy het by die god Anu gesmeek om Gilgamesh te straf wat haar teenstaan.

6
Die godin Innana / Astarte het op hom dolverlief geraak,
vir sy liefkosing gesmag en ‘n intieme verhouding aan hom aangebied
maar waar hy met haar reputasie bekend was,
was die vooruitsigte met hom vir haar uiters swak,
waar sy seergemaak was in die hart en nie in besetenheid,

het sy veroorsaak dat die Bul van die Hemel los gelaat word:
God.Anna wat by die Sederberg beskerm was
deur Huiwala die meganiese uitvinding,
met Astarte wat in haar hande daardie bul se leiriem hou,
waar sy nou vir Gilgamesh as veragtelik beskou het,
toe beide magtige manne: halfgode vir hulle lewens weghardloop,
waar Shamash gehelp het dat hulle gou-gou na Uruk terugkeer,
het beide saam tot buite die stad oorleef,
om daardie verwoede gedierte aan te val het beide ‘n beurt gekry:

by die stad het krygsmanne tot hulp van die koning gekom
maar in putte wat die gesnork van die gedierte geopen het,
het dit hulle geslinger.

7
Toe die bul omswaai het Gilgamesh agter die voorste skans beskerming gekry,
Enkidu het ‘n kans geneem en bo op die bul se rug gespring,
terwyl Enkidu skreeu aan Gilgamesh om met sy swaard aan te val:
by die plek waar die horings en nek sening met mekaar verbind.

Hierdie uitroep weergalm steeds vandag in die bulgeveg arenas
en aan die stert het Enkidu daardie bul omgeswaai,
terwyl Gilgamesh in spring as hulp om dit te slag
en daar was bloed en lyke op die grond.

Terwyl Gilgamesh in Uruk feesvieringe beveel,
het Astarte begin om te weeklaag en maar die gode in vergadering,
wou Anu hê dat beide moet sterf terwyl Astarte
teen beide optree met beskuldiging,
Enlil en Shamash het hierdie uitsprake onaanvaarbaar gevind,

toe Anu wou dat beide Gilgamesh en Enkidu moes sterf,
het hierdie twee gode met redenasie en om deel van die blaam
self te aanvaar tot hulp gekom.

8
Enkidu het siek geword en in ‘n koma ingegaan,
terwyl die gode sy straf verlig
na harde arbeid in die myne en gesante stuur,
wat geklee soos voëls vlerke gehad het maar hulle het nie tot berou gekom nie.

Gilgamesh het eerder na die myne geseil naby die Arabiese kus,
waar die wraak van Enlil gekom het toe die suile skeur en die skip omkeer
en om na die oewer te swem was Gilgamesh en Enkidu in beslag geneem
en na hulle die oewer bereik het Enkidu dodelik siek geword
en gesterf en Gilgamesh was angstig:
waar hy doelloos in die wildernis rond dwaal
maar later het Gilgamesh getrek terwyl die son wat sak hom rigting gee,
het sy gebede na Sin toe verander terwyl hy Enkidu se dood deurdink het,
waar hy geglo het dat Sin in beheer van hierdie gebied is

maar toe hy nader kom aan ‘n bergpas,
het ‘n groep leeus op hom afgestorm en probeer om op hom te spring.

met sy wapens het hy teen die leeus so goed hy kan geveg,
waar hy verwoed hulle tref en stukke uit hulle kap:
teen heelwat honger leeus was hy die enigste man
en met leë hande het hy die laaste twee leeus ingewag.

Slegs in die vel van een van die leeus geklee,
het Gilgamesh deur daardie bergpas gekom:
hy het ‘n uitgestrekte meer gesien en ‘n ommuurde stad
het aan hom vreugde gebring,
alhoewel die mense gekant teen ‘n vreemdeling kon wes,

waar hy buite dié stad naby aan die see na ‘n herberg gaan,
Suduri die vrou wat bier brou het ‘n fles daarvan vol vasgehou
en ‘n bord met geel pap maar het in vrees teen hom opgetree:
het gedink teen ‘n wilde man kan sy nie oorleef,
sy het die buitedeur gesluit en dit was met groot moeilikheid,
dat Gilgamesh haar oortuig het van sy identiteit.

10
Gilgamesh het haar van al sy ondervindings vertel,
geklee het hy na ‘n ete navraag gedoen oor hoe om voort te reis,
waar hy moes onderskei tussen feite en afwykings:
dat slegs dapper Shamash eenkeer oor daardie see geseil het,
het sy gesê wat na die Land van die Lewendes gaan,
toe hy navraag doen of hy rondom die see kan gaan of dit kan oorsteek,
waar ons weet dat dit steeds die Dooie See genoem word,
oor ‘n seeman Urshanabi het sy ook inligting voorsien.

Sumeriese rekords oor kernbomaanvalle was geen wanopvatting:
wat ‘n ruimtestasie by ‘n berg, Sodom en Gomorra vernietig het:
‘n radioaktiewe wind het dodelik oor die ganske Sumer gewaai
die vernietiging van ‘n god en sy volgelinge wou die gode bereik:

Lot se vrou het nie in ‘n pilaar van sout verander: sy het verdamp,
waar aan twee gode volmag gegee was om Marduk te tref.

11
Urshanabi het gewonder oor die identiteit van Gilgamesh
en het hom geglo toe hy van sy ondervindings vertel
maar hulle het 120 gevormde pale benodig om gereed te wees,
waarmee die drywende vlot beheer moes word

en na die kruising van die meer het Gilgamesh die pad gevolg,
tot by twee kolomme en daar moes hy na Itka draai,
maar hiervoor moes Ullu-Yahnash goedkeuring verleen,
waar by berg Mashu vuurpyle van die ruimtetuie wat vertrek brand,
om ‘n korter pad na Utnapishtim te neem,
waar Gilgamesh gesmeek het dat Shamash tussenbeide tree
en vir hom dit moet moontlik maak
en na hulle vergader het, gee die gode hom toestemming om voort te gaan

maar by die ingang het vuurpylmanne dit bewaak,
met ‘n spreilig as ‘n wapen waarmee hulle toegang beheer.

12
In die bestek van daardie dodelike spreilig,
het Gilgamesh sy oë beskut,
toe hy nader kom het hulle hom beveel om te halt,
voorwaarts het hy in daardie nag na hulle geloop,

met ‘n ruimteskip wat land was die lug verlig,
meer intens het die vuurpylmanne hulle lig op hom gerig,
dat dit hom nie skade berokken en hy bomenslik is
het hulle dadelik besef en hy was nie vir hulle bang.

Hy het gevra om vir Utnapishtim sy voorvader te ontmoet,
het ‘n verslag van sy ondervindings aan hulle gelewer.

13
Hulle laat hom toe om die verbode pad te gebruik,
wat ‘n uiters duister ondergrondse weg was,
waar dit twaalf ure neem om deur te dring na die helder dag:
hy was gelukkig om die son te sien in die boog daarvan,

in die beskermde afskorting van die gode het hy nog nader gegaan:
waar ‘n kunsmatige tuin uitgekerf uit klippe ten toon gestel was,
kom verskillende vrugtebome en die Boom van die Lewe in sy gedagtes.
Dit was soos ‘n uiters goed versorgde park.

Utnapishtim het in die geheim vir Gilgamesh vir ‘n tyd bestudeer:
het oor hom gewonder en hoe hy tot daar gekom het,
was asof in sy fleur, Gilgamesh het sy koningskap en afkoms uitgelê
en Utnapishtim het ‘n vriend van hom geword,

waar Utnapishtim van sy weergawe van die sondvloed vertel het:
hoe een van die gode wou hê dat die ganske mensdom moes sterf.

14
In die Bybelse weergawe is dit dieselfde God,
wat die mens van die gesig van die aarde wou wegvee
maar vir Noag, ‘n regverdige man het hy erbarming gehad
en hy was met perfekte genetiese eienskappe
en het God vanaf geboorte gedien

maar volgens Utnapishtim en die weergawe van Sumer,
was meer as een god betrokke met Enlil en Enki as protagoniste
wat vyandigheid het,
met ondertrouing met die dogters van die mens en as ‘n antagonis,
met die koms van Nibiru nader aan die aarde,
het die ys bo op Antarktika gesmelt,
waar die dood wat kom die mens nie verdien het nie,
terwyl daardie planeet naby aan die metorietgordel kom.

Nibiru se swaartekrag het die ys in die see in laat gly,
in ‘n yseeu met elke god,
wat ontsnap na die buitenste ruimte op elke beskikbare ruimteskip,
waar hulle deur strenger Enlil gedwing was om nie te waarsku of te help en eienaardig opgetree het,

behalwe vir Enki wat betrokke was in die skep van die mens,
om ‘n onsinkbare skip te bou het hy beplan.

15
In Sherpa het Utnapishtim die saad gebring,
van diere en plante op sy reuse skip
en genoeg kos om sy gesin en ‘n navigator te voer,
waar hulle vir oorlewing daardie waterreis vol gebeure neem,

toe Enki van die gode as hoof wetenskaplike
die saad van alle lewende dinge kon uitsoek, verkry en voorsien,
om die mensdom te red het hy vergeefs by Enlil aangedring,
wat ons na Utnapishtim en sy skip bring:
wat ontwerp was om onder die water driekwart daarvan te hê,
om die vloedgolwe, strome en elemente te weerstaan rondom dit,
waar uiters nou alles verseël en inmekaar gepas het,
met die teken as die ruimtetuie van die gode opstyg,
met die bou, uitrusting en laai soos wat Enki het,
waar tot die spesifikasies daardie skip perfek was.

16
Met ruimtetuie wat al om die aarde wentel,
het die Annunaki beskou hoe die sondvloed oorweldig,
dit het aan alle lande totale vernietiging gebring,
toe in die rigting van twee pieke ‘n navigator
by die skip se roer betrokke was

maar in haar ruimtetuig het Astarte uitgeroep asof sy self in die nood is,
Ninmah het geweeklaag oor die vernietiging van die mensdom,
waar sy saam met Enki geskep het en die vloed alles vernietig het,
in die mens het Enki redding in gedagte gehad,
waar na die pieke van Arrarat wat eerste verskyn het
die skip en ruimtetuie van die gode gegaan het,
en toe die vloedgolf eindig was die skip naby aan Arrarat,
die voëls het droë grond gekry wat voor hulle was,

‘n altaar was gebou met die geur van braaivleis
en die gode was gelukkig toe hulle hierdie offer eet.

17
Utnapishtim het ook vertel van ‘n geheime plant soos ‘n stekerige bessiebos,
dit het doringtakke gehad en alhoewel dit steek,
het dit vernuwing gegee en in ‘n reuse pyp het Gilgamesh onder water afgegaan,
het nog verder na onder met rotse gegaan,
waar om dit te kry geen persoon hom verhoed het nie
en uiteindelike was daardie doringtak in sy hande

en na afskeid geneem was, was hy met Urshanabi en uiters opgewonde:
weer het hulle saam die Dooie See oorgesteek
maar heelwat later was Gilgamesh gelukkig terwyl hy in ‘n fontein rond plas
maar ‘n slang het dit stil afgeneem en dit was vir Gilgemesh groot verlies,

waarna Gilgamesh huil en ontken was
maar daardie slang skubbe afwerp toe die stok tot dit vernuwing bring.

[Digter se notas:
Erech / Uruk was in hedendaagse Irak.

Daar bestaan heelwat antieke afbeeldings van vuurpylskepe van Nibiru
en ruimtetuie. Selfs langs van vandag se moskees word die vuurpylskepe gesien.

Die Bul van die Hemel kan ook vertaal word as die Bul van Anu wat as saad vanaf Nibiru gekom het.

Shamash is die god wat die bevelvoerder van die Arendmanne was / van die loodse.

ANU word vertaal as die "hemelse een / die een wat regeer in Nibiru."

EN.LIL beteken "Heer van die bevel."

EN.KI beteken "Heer van die Aarde" maar voor dit was hy bekend as EA wat neerkom op: "Hy wie se woning / huis in die water is."
EN.KI se vrou was NIN.KI wat neerkom op "wederhelf wat na die aarde gekom het" en sy het ‘n seun MARDUK vir hom gebaar.

MARDUK kom neer op "Seun van die suiwer heuwel of plek.'

NIN. MAH beteken "Grootse Dame" en sy is die halfsuster van beide Enlil en Enki.

Die Annunaki beteken "die wat van die hemel na die aarde gekom het."

Astarte beteken "Dame van die Slagveld" maar is ook bekend as: "die godin van die hemel."

SIN beteken 'Soos die maan.'

SIN is die vader van Shamash

SHAMASH beteken soos 'Soos die son.'

Die Land van die Lewendes was ‘n stad waar die gode geleef het wat Shamash en Utnapishtim ingesluit het / die Bybel se Noag wat ‘n voorvader van Gilgamesh was.

Die vertaling van wat met Lot se vrou gebeur het kan wees om tot sout te verander of om te verdamp.

Die saad was die Akadiese woord "Zera" wat beteken; dit waaruit lewende dinge voortkom.]
