01:04The text doesn't make clear who uttered this phrase. However, drawing from other texts and this one itself, it's likely referring to Enki, the benevolent and wise god creator of humans.
01:17The preventive is concerned.
01:20The preventive is concerned.
01:22Well, tend to halt or cease the idea that seems to have already begun.
01:27Or, the term my creatures, conveys a sense of fatherhood and responsibility for the creation of humans.
01:35All for use are used for themselves. Narrative then introduces the names of the Babylonian gods, An or Anu, Elil, Aya, Ori, and Ninersai. It states that after they created humans and animal royalty descend to earth, the land were allocated to their rulers. Hence the world is populated with humans and animals.
02:03The deity command the foundation of cities, with Eridu being the first, believed to be the world's ancient city. Each city is entrusted to a deity. The precedent of cities having their guardian gods. The narrative hit the development of water systems.
02:20The story then encounters a gap. Leaving readers to speculate why the chief gods, An and Enlil, chose to tolerate humanity with a deluge.
02:30The puzzle can only be assembled when we look at other texts, such as the epic of Atrahasis, where the motive becomes clear. Humanity's opulation and noise, which disturb Enlil's peace.
02:47To curb this, Enlil dispatches drought, disease, and famine. However Anki, the deity of intellect and humanity's ally, all provide solutions to counteract these calamities.
03:00It's likely that similar events were narrated in the original Sumerian version, with Enki playing a pivotal role. The text progresses to describe the deity's taking vow, likely to uphold the decision to annihilate humanity.
03:15The text, Yuditsura, a monarch and cleric from Surapak, emerges. Enki, bound by the oath, indirectly warns Yuditsura by speaking to a wall, aware that Yuditsura would overhear.
03:30The narrative then has another gap, but it's inferred that Yuditsura crafts a vast arc, safeguarding animals and human lineage.
03:38The story picks up with a portrayal of the Tyrantines lasting a week. Once the tempest subsides, the sun deity, Utu, or, Utu Shamash, emerges.
03:50Yuditsura carves an opening in the arc, allowing the sunlight to penetrate. He then offers a tribute to the deity.
03:58The subsequent events are absurd due to missing portions of the Tyrantines. However, it appears that An and Enlil regret their actions, appreciating Yuditsura's efforts to salvage their creations.
04:12They bestow upon him the gift of fertility in the paradise of the land of Dillman.
04:17According to the fragments of the Tyrantines, it appears that the narrative extended on this apparent ending for an additional third time.
04:26However, the specific content of this has been lost over time.
04:31CONTEXT
04:33In other videos on our channel, we've had the chant delve into the history of George Smith.
04:39In the video titled, Anaki Movie Explained, we noted that George Smith was among the first to decipher some of the most significant cuneiform tablets.
04:50He was a pioneer in reading what became known as the flood story, predicting the Bible.
04:56On that occasion, Smith presented his findings to the Biblical Archaeology Society.
05:02The text he translated was titled, The Chaldean Account of the Deluge.
05:08His discovery made headlines worldwide, challenging the belief that the Bible was divine-inspired, and had guided the prophets who penned the world's best-known and best-selling book.
05:21Smith's findings are part of the Epic of Gilgamesh, specifically the Eleventh Tablet, records the oldest literary text in the world's history.
05:31The question that arose at the time was unsettling.
05:34How could a work believed divinely inspired appear in older documents, yet in a more comprehensive form than the inspired version?
05:44It's fascinating how traditional science, archaeology, history, and theology, approach these topics.
05:52The Epic of Gilgamesh is regarded as a literary account, a myth, and the world's oldest literary text.
05:59I recall noting this in my notebook during Library Science College when the professor taught the History of Human Records course.
06:07In contrast, theology often viewed biblical records as divinely inspired and the result of cosmic revelation.
06:15For centuries, millennia even, the Judeo-Christian religious tradition has dominated.
06:21This tradition believed that scriptures are divinely inspired, while others are mere myths.
06:28The perspective brings to mind a statement from another video on our channel, God is Dead.
06:34This video faced criticism of viewers due to the controversial nature statement.
06:40However, this is coined by the philosopher Nietzsche.
06:44In his view, the death of God isn't fickle, but philosophical and anthropological.
06:50Stemming technological and scientific advancements.
06:53It's the Enlightenment's outline of reason dispelling the shadows of ignorance at centuries of
07:01and dogmatic obscurantism cast upon society.
07:04This context, although touching on themes discussed in other videos, is crucial.
07:10Until Smith's discovery, many believed the Bible was the world's oldest book, resulting from divine inspiration.
07:18But after George Smith's discoveries and his sudden, early and mysterious illness followed by his death,
07:25the migration into the Mesopotamian tablets didn't cease.
07:30On the contrary, they continued.
07:33Astonishing revelations.
07:35For Nietzsche lived during the time of the Mesopotamian tablet disorders.
07:40However, as far as he wasn't aware of content, he couldn't have imagined that these tablets,
07:47written centuries and millennia for the Hebrew Bible, would challenge theological and philosophical morality
07:54attreated to divine relation.
07:57These tablets offer narratives of biblical events from different perspectives,
08:01introducing other deities and moral codes that shaped society at the time,
08:07revealing not just one deity, but several.
08:10This context sets the stage for the topic of this video.
08:14The tablet known as, Eridu Genesis the Sumerian Flood Story,
08:19was discovered in 1893, near the identity of Nippur by the University of Pennsylvania.
08:25Its translation began only in 1912.
08:30By the end of this video, we delve into the original content of the Mesopotamian tablet.
08:36Now, let's face a version of Eridu Genesis available in a recent book,
08:42published in 1907 by historian and Assyriologist Thakild Jacobson.
08:48Summary of the Eridu Genesis Translator Thakild Jacobson
08:54The tablet describes Nindur's deep comprehension about humanity, seemingly forgotten.
08:59The text relates that she remembered her creations,
09:03and stood to guide them back to the paths.
09:07She lived in cities and places of worship and solace in Eridu.
09:13Nindur wished for these cities to be constructed in pure locations,
09:18and she also hoped for places of divination to be established in equally pure spots.
09:24The narrative
09:25meditated
09:26guidelines for
09:27purification
09:28and
09:29plea for mercy,
09:30action believed to appease divine anger.
09:33Furthermore,
09:34she
09:35perfected
09:36rituals and ceremonies,
09:37extending her wish
09:38to the surrounding regions.
09:40The Textran gods, namely An, Enlil, Enki, and Narsaga, created the black-headed people.
09:48They also brought forth small animals from the earth in abundance,
09:53and was filled with gazelles, wild donkeys, and four-legged creatures.
09:58The tablet related
10:00Nindur desired guidance for
10:02corporations,
10:03hoping for a leader who would oversee their labor, and guide them as cattle are led.
10:08As the symbols of royalty,
10:10the scepter, crown, and throne descended from the heavens.
10:15King X
10:16took the services with utmost precision.
10:19He established cities in pure locations, each named and given specific allocation.
10:25cities
10:26The text lists were Eridu, given to Nudamud.
10:30Bad Tibera, bestowed upon the prince and the sacred one.
10:34Larak, handed to Pabalsag.
10:36Sipar, granted to Utu.
10:38And Shurupak, given to Esud.
10:41These cities, recognized by their named allocations, undertook the task clearing of the canals of
10:50of water.
10:54And cleaning the small animal resulted in
10:57Bunth.
10:58The narrative then shifted.
11:01If the grunger tone,
11:03pointing at the display of Chia,
11:06and with unity's noise,
11:08this disturbance led him rather visibly disunhumed.

11:30Klan,
11:31Enlil,
11:32Aki,
11:34and
11:37Enlil.
11:38During the cultuous period,
11:40Zsudra reigned as king,
11:42and served as a lustration priest.
11:45There,
11:46described the visionary,
11:47crafting the god of giddiness,
11:49and showing reverence towards it.
11:51As he maintained vigil,
11:53Zsudra
11:55periods that were distinct from dreams.
11:57These visions included contations,
12:00oaths,
12:01and solid
12:03revolving gods.
12:04The tablet recounts,
12:05the Zsudra continued his observance.
12:08He went closely,
12:10to
12:11men.
12:12The men,
12:13revealed a forthcoming flood,
12:15with the
12:16and the land.
12:17A decision to alliterate mankind was irrevocable,
12:20as the commons of

12:25and
12:26of this decree,
12:27emphasizing
12:28the yielding nature of the gods' decisions.
12:30that
12:32alludes to Enki's
12:33council
12:34to
12:35Zsudra
12:36to
12:37save living beings.
12:39However,
12:40the specifics of this advice and Zsudra's subsequent actions are lost in the text.
12:46The tabbed continues to let Enki's urgent council to Zsudra
12:51to
12:53drown the house,
12:54build a ship,
12:55give up possessions,

13:24Nights.
13:25After this deluge had ravished the land,
13:27Nalae was violently tossed the large vessel upon the vast waters.
13:32The sun emerged, casting its radiant light across both the heaven and the earth.
13:38Zsudra, in response to the newfound light, created an opening in the large boat.
13:44The valiant Utu, recognizing this act, directed his luminous rays into the vessel's interior.
13:51The text relates that Zsudra, acknowledging Utu's benevolence, approached and paid his
13:58risk for setting the ground.
14:00In a gesture of gratitude, Thika offered sacrifices, fluttering oxen and nicely providing
14:07sheep.
14:08He prepared body cakes, other offerings, turning Nipur, a pure mountain plant, in a sacred
14:15fire.
14:16However, the narrative then hints at a significant event where Enlil's anger upon discovering
14:22survivors is evident.

26:45When the royal scepter was coming down from heaven, the august crown and the royal throne began from heaven, he, the king, regularly performed to perfection the august divine offices, laid the bricks of those cities in pure spots. They were named by name, and allotted half-bushel baskets.
27:04The firstling of those cities, Eridu, she gave to Urnudimud, the second, Bad Tibira, she gave to Prince and the Sacred One, the third, Larak, Igabalsag, the fourth, Sipar, gave the Galenu, the fifth, Puck, Igabansud.
27:22These cities, which had been named by names and had belotted half-bushel baskets, redged thals, which were blocked with purplish wind-borne clay, and they carried out her.
27:32The king of the halal, Zalishab, Baroth, Laught account of the antediluvian ruler, and Hume, Noe, Exechi, Hefa, Zomut, that he persuaded the divine assembly to vote the destruction of Maliu.
27:46That day, Nintur wept over her creature, and Hoiina was full of grief for their people, but Enki took counsel with his own heart.
27:55An, Enlil, A and Ninhursaga had the gods of heaven and earth swear by the names of An-Enlil.
28:02At that time, Zusudra was king and lustration beat.
28:06He fashioned a seer, the giddiness, and stood in awe beside it, wording his wishes humbly.
28:12As he stood there regularly day after day, something that not a dream was appearing.
28:18Conversation, a string of oaths by heaven and earth, a touching of throats and the gods of the cure.
28:26Zusud there beside it, he unhearing, up to the wall and listen.
28:32Take away the wall, may you, I say, may you, my advice.
28:36Our hand, a flood will sweep over the seas of half-shell baths, and the country.
28:44The dead in kind is to be destroyed.
28:46Hey, a bird and a family cannot be removed or ordered.
28:51An Enlil is a virtue of an encarad.
28:54The dead in kind is to be destroyed.
28:55The dead in kind is to be destroyed.
28:57Them's at
28:58We have to see you like Yankee's advice.
29:03Build a boat.
29:04Put it with a pair of living things.
29:06And Zusudra's compense.
29:07All the evil winds, all stormy winds gathered into one and with them.
29:12The flood was sweeping over the cities of the half-shell baskets seven, eight, and seven.
29:18After the flood had swept over the country,
29:20after the evil wind had took the big boat out on the great waters,
29:24The sun came as heaven and earth.
29:28Zusudra then drilled an opening in the big boat,
29:31and gallant Utu sent his light into the interior of the big boat.
29:35Zusudra's king, except for Utu,
29:38is on him.
