Thank you for providing access to these amazing lectures that I wouldn't have otherwise. I listen to them often while I work. Gets me some odd looks from my clients... I'm a cleaning lady who, at one time, aspired to learn everything I could about ancient Mesopotamia but couldn't quite manage higher education. So, again, Thank you.

I have always thought it was strange how these Sumerian words and names stay in your head and keep replaying themselves out loud subconsciously. The syllables alone almost invoke incantations that repeat hauntingly. The sounds in each name are unforgettable truly.

It is amazing that these tablets could have survived for thousands of years in the desert to be discovered by us. And it is more amazing that they have been deciphered so that we can receive communication from those that lived before us. Truly it was another world.

He also is the first person I've ever seen point out a scribe error. He is sharp I am very thankful for this

I landed on the idea to spread culture by talking to the grandkids, to give them some of my eye-witness reports and my understanding of the history I lived through myself ... now more than ever they need to see themselves as part of something bigger to work together. The overview, the Big Picture is a good thing to try to envision, patterns suggest themselves!

Thank you to Penn Museum and the brilliant people that worked on this research and the lecture and helped bring it to a wider world by putting it on KZfaq.

This was thoroughly enriching, thank you .

What an engaging talk! Thanks for the hard work, everybody at Penn!

A very interesting lecture. Thank you.

Marvelous! Thank you!

one of my favorite lectures

Outstanding!

He is an amazing wealth of knowledge I need to find more work by him asap. Any info is much appreciated. Any links appreciated Thank you J

He's a brilliant lecturer. I'd love to know more about Babylonian ritual and religious institutions

Good refresher. 👍🏾

Fish are still used to manage things my dad who worked at a refinery stocked the waste water pond with gold fish if the fish lived that water would always pass the epa testing and the company wouldn't get fined. the fish ran things.

thx you for teaching

wonderful!

Fascinating. The strangeness of those ancient worlds of thought: fish-priests. Those tantalising texts half square brackets and rows of dots.

Absolutely absorbing and captivating lecture about the two types of knowledge. knowledge of castle building and the knowledge of the return to the norms of the pre-flood era (knowledge of the seven sages, mentioned in the Puranic scriptures,9000-1900 bc and the vedic literature 4000-1900 bc). The flood seems to have occurred before Gigamesh and even around 2100 bc the Sumerians were grappling with what existed before. Almost like a lost civilization. But Sumeria saw many floods and the pursuit of knowledge seems perpetual. A parallel, yet unrelated story comes to mind. The city of Dwarka had along relation with the Sumerians where the myth of 'Sindbad the sailor' and perhaps the land of Ziusudra (preserving the knowledge lost in the flood) where the Yadava tribes were proudly claiming Prithu preaching the knowledge of 'scientific agriculture and the knowledge of commercial trade', reflects the close bond with the Indus civilization, hence the story of Sindbad who must have sailed many times up and down the Sindhu (Indus) river carrying valuable goods for the kings of Sumeria, besides many other stories [like the story of Pururavas (sun of the Puru) and Urvasi (resident of Ur)].

By 1892 Professor Archibald Henry Sayce (Oxford University) was proposing that the Hebrews had recast Adapa into Genesis' Adam in the Garden of Eden. By 1898 Professor Morris Jastrow Junior of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, had proposed Enkidu and Shamhat in the Epic of Gilgamesh had been recast as Adam and Eve in Genesis. The Adapa and the Southwind story was first found in an Akkadian (Babylonian) version, whose main characters are Anu, Ea, Adapa, Tammuz, and Gishzida. In more recent times (1990s) the Adapa account has been found written in Sumerian and has the characters rendered as An, Enki, Adaba, Dumuzid, and Ningishzida. The Sumerian version has the Adapa event occurring after the flood has destroyed the earth. In myths Enki is credited with creating mankind. The god An is also given the same credit as well as the god Enlil of Nippur. Another myth credits female gods with man's creation, Aruru and Mami. The gods have made man to be a gardening slave. He is to care for their city-gardens in the midst of the uncultivated desert plain called Edin in Sumerian and Seru in Akkadian. The gods planted their fruit tree gardens to provide food for themselves, they have bodies of flesh and can starve if they have no food to eat. Man will care for the gods' gardens and feed them the produce in temple rituals. Man is portrayed as a naked gardener in Sumerian art forms, presenting the fruit harvest to the gods to consume. I have written two books on this in 2010 and they are available at Amazon.com, (1) Eden's Serpent: Its Mesopotamian Origin, and (2) The Garden of Eden Myth: Its Prebiblical Origin in Mesopotamian Myths. Click on my name, by my photo, for my KZfaq videos on the Bible's pre-biblical origins as recast Mesopotamian and Canaanite myths, based on the finding of archaeologists.

Dude, that windstorm fuuuuuuuucked up the outdoor pot farms. I was ripping broken branches off all day. Some plants were complete losses.

Adapa would be related to verb, whereas Gudea would be related to numbers as he was told by Nisaba, the goddess of writing to build the Eninnu for her brother Ningirsu "according to the sacred celestial bodies". The temple is an imago mundi, it sets in bricks of clay the rules of the world that the lord of the land must know to measure to kingship = somehow he is the "pontifex maximus". That is why the brick is sacred, it must reflect the perfection of the world through its shape and dimensions. The brick is very carefully brought in a hemispheric basket that is another model of the Earth. The model of the EARTH, the boat, is the MA which means "boat" and "to name". The image is very powerful for the world is shaped by language, MA. In the basket MA lays the brick with the dimensions of the Earth. Their entire cosmogony is a "mise en abîme", it is incredibly modern. They have a perfect notion that everything is tied up to a cosmic dimension. The quantic physicians are in the same eternal question : how can we modelize the various dimensions of our environement from the infinitely small to the infinitely great ? Thank you Mr Tinney for this interesting lecture.

One of my 2 cats is named Adapa. I am so batshit crazy about the Mythologies from Mesopotamia that I have slowly over the course of 20yrs now have my Coven only calling on "Babylonian" Gods. My Coven is "Twin Rivers Rising"

Very inspiring presentation. Thank you. BTW Has the tomb of Gilgamesh been found and looted, as rumour has it? Also: how do we know that translations of particular words are acurate? Are there any reasons to take Sitchin's "amplified" translations seriously? How can/will our understanding possibly change when a more significant portion of the tablets will be transcribed/translated?

Where can I find an English translation of the newest Adapa Tablet A ?

Adappa was a very dapper Mesopotamian rapper

Monomyth time. I believe the seven carp from the sea are story analogs on the template like, forty Argonauts or twelve disciples. Those represent qualities we carry along in the story. Each name has a meaning and that's what it is.

I'd like to see you dance to the music of the spheres!

Plato told us: You know only one flood, but there were several and more will come. Ancient books and pictures tell us that our planet suffers from a cycle of disasters that are causing a huge flood. Every few thousand years the ninth planet of our solar system, orbiting in an eccentric orbit around our sun, approaches the sun and crosses the ecliptic planes of our planets with a huge speed. This crossing causes a natural disaster from unprecedented magnitude. Worst effect is a huge tidal wave of water that is pulled all over the earth. Many areas are flooded. Some species become extinct, mankind hardly survives. After the disaster the earth is covered with a layer of salty wet mud, a mix of sand, clay, lime boulders and the remains of land and marine animals and humans. This layer is horizontal because of the water that’s all around. After some time, the water evaporated and a hard layer remains. We now know this planet as planet Nine or X. It has many names around the world. Nibiru is one of them. Much more information about the recurring flood cycle, the re-creation of civilizations and its timeline and ancient high technology can be found in the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

how can I become a student of this professor. Wow!!

Thank you and praise the Gods and Sages of the past and present for preserving the sacred wisdom and skills to properly honor our keepers and Creator as they deserve for breathing Life into us humans. We are grateful to be here and grateful to be alive and look forward to the Afterlife Graduation that will take place upon our own ascension

very religeous humble and poetic like the father....huh?

I am truly seeing and believing the "Truth" of all this....But Certainly there is no total answer to the original "Coming in To Being and Conciousness"...It Shall remain a fabulous mystery for a while.." I'm sure it is a total, beautiful " Love Story that was "Meant to Be"...

'7' is also very important in the Emerald tablets of Thoth, also as keepers of Earth's balance.

I was wondering if you know what the purses were for that the Fishmen priests are carrying. These images of the purses are all over the world including Gobekli Tepi and South America.

Reminds one of the Adam myth in Genesis. Adam has a brush with immortality but chose to partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil which insured humanity's mortality.

There must be really old connections betwen Mezopotamia and Indus culture. In Hindu scripts are simillar items, maybe in Avestan too.

For I hear,I see , and yearn for more.i eat I sleep, digestion moves beneath me. Thankful I am for everlasting is not ME, but Eternal is the love EARTH has shown 2B...Therefore I'am loved and loving with no end..

The kings were masks for the astronomer priests who were the real power without which the king's would not exist. There were 7 Astronomers and 7 Kings because of the 5 stars + 2 luminaries

So the red sea might contain the cities on the kingslist

What happened to the Tartarian empire,apparently there architecture is everywhere,Phoenicians too🐟

As we are all evil.. Good always prevails .. 🐇⚔️✅

For archelogists of the fourth millenium *AD* looking back on our civilization of today, imagine they find intact copies of the bible, the koran and other sacred texts and prescriptions of ritual... ... what would that tell them about us? The implicit assumption here is that atheism and its handmaiden: the systematic observation of nature, are strictly *modern* inventions. The ancients on the other hand *must* have been pickled in religious mysticism, unlike us today. This belief is of course an artifact of early archeological protocol, which was focused on proving the truth of early textual sources such as Homer and the bible. A tradition in dire need of discarding, down to its roots. By the way, the greatest ecological and climatological disaster that the human race has ever faced was NOT flooding. It was the desertification of the "green Sahara." No other human catastrophe since the last ice age comes close. Archeology's failure to acknowledge this is little short of scandalous. But of course the bible speaks of a great flood, not creeping desert.

Decimated means to reduce by one tenth.

So which explanation do we choose, Enki wanting magic to remain on earth or Enki tricking Adapa not to be immortal, anyone?

"The first brick" I can teach you how it's produced

"broad understanding" Since this is meant to refer to divine beings I would suspect that this has some connection to "the knowledge of good and evil" in the Genesis account of the Eden.

at 21:28 it looks to me like the God has two right hands. You can't wrap your left hand around your right like that.

The fish coming out of the sea was Enki in a divers suit.

IT A COOK BOOK .... ITS A COOK BOOK!

I wonder if the ancient chinese have similar tales.

Shulgi was a female ruler. that's pretty cool.

Is there any information as to how the Sumerians could create such detailed sculptures using diorite? I was under the impression the tools they had access to were copper or stone. it would be impossible to create finished work like shown in this presentation using copper. To work with diorite you need tools that are much harder at the very least.

I am high enough for this

How do you know that the fish-men are trying to heal the man on the bed and not to sacrifice him? 😭

The Gudea story reflects the sacrifices that Marduk wanted, not Horus or Thoth, so it's during the transition from followers of Horus to the sun-god's forced monotheism. This is part of the campaign that resulted in the creation of Israel and the eugenics program against the giants including king Og's 60 formerly-enclaved (by Enlil) cities of Bashan, who wanted no part of Marduk or Nimrod's invasion. The lost book of King Og is revealing to say the least. Seems Nimrod's Amun priests infiltrated the giants' temples and advised them to sacrifice all their women and children after four years of night frosts and drought.

Noah begat Ham, who begat Kush, who begat Nimrod, who was the first world leader after the flood. Cush, is Kish, post flood. "As some of you may already know, archeologists claim to have found the tombs of both Osiris (Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead) and the tomb of Gilgamesh (A king who was claimed to be one third man and two thirds god [66.6%]). Very shortly after the tomb of Gilgamesh was discovered, America invaded Iraq, where it was discovered. This was back in 2003, so we were just beginning the war on terror. So, these two gods are often linked to Nimrod, and many biblical researchers believe them to be one in the same. Is it possible these people actually existed and were mere men who were praised as gods? Is it possible that these men were influenced by the very same evil spirit that influenced Nimrod?" article continues with cloning the DNA.

I find it so fascinating that when they had a flood their folks built an ark but anishinabe did not have an arc kitchi Manitou hottest go to the mountains which we called the turtle mountains and we live on Turtle Island before Satan came and call that United States

DNA analysed remains from [northern] Mesopotamia belonged to people with genetic affinity to the Indian subcontinent. Haplogroup M

The Sumerians named their weapons; perhaps "South Wind" was a drone.

South wind is a ship, just like the ship of yahweh ( enlil ) in the bible used the same hebrew terminology, the kavod, the Ruach

Some where you should get to who the Anunnaki are , and complete your thought. Say it`s a myth if you have to but don`t ignore them !

manfish, wow, amazing, so much for aquaman, XD

Could Gudea have become Judea.?

Tge reason its the cradle of civilization is all the rivers flew into the gulf... Y isnt that ever said

27:46

I am looking for that ayahuasca dude. Help please, he wears glasses, an US American guy, I forgot his name

We are Adapa. The descendants of the Annunaki. “Made in gods image”

13:10 rumor has it that's why the pope wears that fish head shaped hat.

by Kish you really mean Fish.

The 7 apkallu The 7 abgal The 7 rishis The 7 sleepers The 7 giants (aztec) The 7 from Emerald Tablets THEY SURVIVED THE FLOOD WITH NOAH ON THE BOAT OR IN THE CAVE ? PEOPLE OF THE CAVE AS-SHAB AL-KAHF

20:40 Ritual bathing. Sumerian.

adapa was the first human created by the annunaki Adam

Why are these Myths?

@8:20: Utuabzu, who went up to heaven. Sounds like: Enoch who did not die, for the God's took him (Genesis). There are so so many of these actual ancient texts which 'match' stories in the Hebrew Bible (although names are changed) as if at some point someone took it from being important texts kept sacred to being texts written only by Jews for the sake of their created identity in history.

Thanks adapa my grund father

Yes your colleague will call you for embarrassing him. It seems self-evident the more primal meaning of the story is that Ea wants his son to take kingship over 'immortality,' and thus he would not then be punished for 'breaking the South wind.' By taking kingship, Adapa shalt have dominion over all (i.e. man shalt, er its kings) over all, including the Wind...and you also can't help but notice the Epic of Gilgamesh is essentially the reverse--i.e. there's a term for this...when one people take as holy what their enemy see as profane. Oh yeah by the way stop with this magical thinking stuff...it's more like the guy blasphemed by cursing a divinity for causing him destruction/harm, which to this day still is a no-no.

The Flood/Deluge "myth" is not a myth. Humanity exists in cycles of roughly 12,000 years. It is called an Epoch or Holocene. There is scientific and mathematical proof which shows every 12 to 13,000 years is a cataclysmic event of some sort, and the cycles are linked to the cycles of the Sun. It is the year 2021 in the gregorian calendar, but it is the year 12,021 on the Holocene Human Epoch calendar. Mainstream, government, institutionalized, systematic schooling does not teach you this. Also, just read the damn news. We know that by 2030 there will be severe coastal flooding all around the globe. Wake TF up. Scripture from all around the world mentions it.

This man is so dialed into the educational system it hurts 🧠

If the name is spelled Ea why do you pronounce it Ayuh?

I wish Experts doing presentations would stop assuming someone can see their minuscule red dots they offhandedly whizz about. If you have an image, it isn’t hard to use an app to indicate in clearly visualized graphics what you intend to indicate. You know upon what what you intend to point, so indicate it without Ablism, for the whole Audience.

Oh contrare my friend, what you say needs discarding for being "artifacts of early archeological protocol" are being proven daily by science to be truth-like Heroditus & the Bible- I know thats painful for so many who think they can dismiss such crucial historical documentation

A lot of people think Ningishzidda was Thoth, but it seems more likely it was Adapa. Thoth often states being a "son of man", yet also that his father was not a son of man. Ningishzidda was definitely NOT a son of man, either.

Adapa was one of 7 apkallu

Imagine the translation for the word god being erroneous. i think a better presentation would start with an explanation of why the belief the word translates to god.

Noahs wife's name is na ama, mother of all people. One of her epithets is "qu baba".The qaaba in mecca is a replica of the ark, the "black cube". According to genesis the ark was covered with tar to seal out the water.The seven sages were the ark occupants. The hindus called them the seven rishis.The reason for the fish motif is association with the great flood. 8 (at) is the number of "new beginnings"7 is completion.7 day week is a global custom.

ill give him c- not there yet

clay= ahhhh..dna

Wasn't Adapa/Male and Tiamet/Female the first 2 humans. Given long life but could not have children. The thing about the fish suits. Think ancient Scuba Suits. And where'nt the Annunaki first sent down into the oceans and seas to find gold.! CORRECT. ? They arrived whereing and using suits to work in. But it wasn't Adapa. That was EA and his men. Adapa was many many years later. Now he may have been a Priest of EA. There by the wearing if the fish suits in Priestly Rituals. This guy has to do better piecing together of the Pieces. Maybe I need to go help them out. Because I'm really good at Puzzles. Because I remember things I've read many years ago. So don't take this guy to seriously. Lol And the Adapa story he tells next about going to meet ANU. That was Adamu. The second set of Human couples. Who could in fact have children. And where widely used as slaves.!! All the Annunaki survived because they rode the storm out in the air. Noah/Ziasudrah and his family rode the not with the Animals inside.????? NO. THINK BIGGER. If they can make men and women, then they can Clone Animals. WHAT WAS IN THE BOAT.?? THE BOAT WAS A SEED BANK. HUMAN BIOLOGICAL SEEDS AND GENES AND SEEDS OF THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ANIMAL AND BIRDS AND BUGS. AND MANY OTHER MANNERS OF SEED AND EGG OF NATURE. The Boat was a SEED BANK. I really don't know why people caint get their heads around all this. We were made as slaves. Too a very Large group of Full Blood Annunaki. And some years after we were made. Then we began to catch the eyes of Horny Annunaki men. Now you have Half Breeds.! There are many today who still carry the genes. Too bad we don't know who they are.!!
