The Marduk Connection: Part 5 & Reference Notes

Now our conclusion suggests a very specific cuneiform sign to symbolize both Nibiru/Marduk and its orbital period and it should be a “divine” sign. Roughly, something like this:

It is just the right time for a question: “Such an important, divine sign should have been found in most places along Mesopotamia, why we do not have a sample of it among our findings?” In fact, we do have; but somehow in an “encoded” style:

This is our famous “Sar” (shar). Used as the “divine number” 3600 (60²) both in Sumerian and Akkadian languages with the same phonetic value. In Akkadian, the word was used as a “title” for the kings; so “Shar Hammurabi” means “King Hammurabi”. According to John A. Halloran’s “Sumerian Lexicon”, the word “Sar” has the following meanings as well as the divine number 3600: Horizon, totality, world, ball, and counter. Interestingly, as a verb, it also means “to slaughter”. Note that the name Marduk (Merodach) meant “slaughter” in Bible Names Dictionary. The most important thing here is the fact that this sign symbolizes a number, Shar, which is the orbital period of Nibiru/Marduk both in Sumerian and Babylonian cultures. Thus, it is naturally a “counter” of times. The actual orbital period of the “Divine Planet” is encoded in this sign, with the topmost “three notches” by the chief priests. The “Shar” sign was presented as the symbol for number 3600; but actually, in Babylon’s digital numbering system it was “3661″: One 3600 + One 60 + One 1.

We see the sign with “three notches” very often in divine names or concepts about the heavens. Here is another sample:

The sign on the left is both a noun and a determinative. Phonetically, it gives the sound “An”, and it is also the name of the chief deity: “An” in Sumerian and “Anu” in Akkadian languages. The second name of the sign is “DINGIR”, which meant “God”. As a determinative, it was used before the names of the gods to indicate that the name sign after it belonged to a god. Finally, the third meaning of the sign is “Sky” or “heavens”: Again, “An” in Sumerian and “Samu” (Shamu) in Akkadian. However, the sample above includes another sign near “An” or “DINGIR”: It is our “three notches” with two companions on each side (reminds us the four moons of Nibiru/Marduk). This word is “shamu-u” in Akkadian and it also means “heavens”. While most of the times the sign “DINGIR” was enough to write the word “sky”, sometimes it was written like the sample above. (21)

Another question could be, “Why didn’t we find any piece of scripture in Mesopotamia, mentioning the number 3661 in a special manner?” There are a couple of reasonable answers for this. First, it was not just an ordinary number and could not be written all around as if it was a result of a sum, say, “2300 sheep and 1361 lamb, totally 3661.” Note that in most religious cults, it is even forbidden to pronounce the “real name of the god”. And to have this knowledge is often a privilege, belonged to priests. Second, the orbital time of Nibiru/Marduk was “rounded” to the divine number of 3600, while the precise time was hidden in its cuneiform sign. And third, this number was the “secret code” of heavens, and without any doubt, it could not be revealed to those who were “uninitiated”, for it required “wisdom”.

But anyway, there are some intriguing “encoded” scriptures which were found in various ancient cities of Mesopotamia. In these samples, we find a “mysterious” number pair, which apparently had been used to substitute the word “Shar” in Akkadian. Most scholars are confused about this “number pair” which they interpret as “3 ; 20″. A typical instance was found on a stela in ancient Susa and was something like this:

Scholars were surprised when they could not find a way to decipher the script of King Ilani. The title of the stela was read “SUSINAK SHAR ILANI, SHAR SUSI”, but it was written like this (according to the scholars):

Why the word “shar” was written as “3;20″? No satisfactory answer has been given since. Here is what I propose: The “number pair” is not “3 and 20″ but obviously “3661 and 20″; where, the first number symbolizes the “Divine King (Shar)”, i.e Nibiru/Marduk and the second one points to “the God 20″, which was the Sun God Shamash! Thus the “number pair” was an encoded statement: “Marduk is the King, Shamash is his Partner”. In some Mesopotamian cities, this number pair appears as “3 and 30″; which actually is “3661 and 30″. In these cities, the Moon God cult appear to be dominant. So, “the God 30″, i.e Sin (Moon God) replaces Shamash.

The sign with “three notches”, and of course the sign for “Shar” also reminds us a well known symbol from the ancient times. It is, “the Trident”, the famous “tool” of the God Poseidon/Neptun, the Greco-Roman counterparts of Sumerian EN.KI and Babylonian E.A. And the Greek letter “psi” is very likely derived from this intriguing symbol:

In ancient myths and stories, the “tool of Poseidon” (or Enki), the trident, is sometimes a destructive weapon with its lightning bolts that slaughtered the God’s enemies. (Remember that “Shar” was also “slaughter” and “destruction” as well as Nibiru/Marduk’s name in Hebrew.)

There is another “entity” in our common religious culture, who carries and uses the destructive tool, the Trident. This well known entity is The Devil itself with its most popular archetype. After Christianity became the official religion in Roman empire and the ancient “pagan” gods were thrown out, the image of the devil began to emerge as a beast with a pair of wings, horns on his head, a typical beard, an arrow-like tail and a trident in his hand. This was a melting-pot of ancient and relatively new symbols and archetypes. We can safely say that the “Beast Number 666″ in John’s Revelation was one of the strongest inspirations for medieval artists when depicting the Devil. The important archetype for us here is of course the trident: The tool of Enki (Greek Poseidon) and a very likely symbol of Nibiru/Marduk The Divine Planet with an orbital period of 3661 solar years. It seems, the mighty god of the ancients became the anti-Christ, or the “Devil”, after Christianity established itself.

To understand this metamorphoses, we have to go back to the eve of Christianity, around 2nd century BC. We need to decipher the “political character” of the Devil in Christianity and observe the crisis of Judaism after the end of Babylonian captivity. This short panorama could make the ideology in John’s Revelation more “understandable” and restore the obvious link between Daniel’s prophecies about the “End Of Days” and the symbols of the Beast in the Revelation.

Essenes: The roots of the Christianity and the Devil

The Hebrew writers of the Old Testament have never considered an entity like the Devil of Christianity. There have always been “demons”, as the cause of some troubles but a mighty being with “absolute evil” never existed. It is very likely that the demons were imported from Babylonian magic cults, as they were very popular entities in ancient Mesopotamian daily life. Most of the diseases were caused by specific demons in Babylonian beliefs: While a demon was responsible for fever, another one could cause cough. Each remedy were prepared to disable that specific demon, in order to make the patient get well. During the long decades of Babylonian captivity, the Israelites learned enough about these “trouble makers” and imported them into their monotheistic system later.

On the other hand, the Devil (or Satan) often appeared in the books of the Old Testament but not as an “eternal enemy of the God”. In contrary, he was one of the other servants of the Lord God and did only things according to God’s will. Furthermore, he was a member of the Council of God in heavens, as Gerald Messadie states (26). The Devil (or more correctly, Demon) sometimes “examined” the humans by confusing and tempting them; and sometimes he appeared as a “punisher”. But all he did was nothing but the God’s will. So, the Hebrew people never considered a “Devil with absolute evil” as an enemy.

The concept of “absolute evil” as the contrast of “absolute good” was born in another eastern monotheistic philosophy: Zoroastroanism. The religion of the Persian Empire was established on the contrast of its two “magnetic poles”: Ahura Mazda was the deity of Light, while Ahura Mainyu was the power and Prince of Darkness. This dualism was the core principle of Zoroastroanism and it was the first appearance of the entity we call “The Devil” in the history of civilization.

When King Kyros defeated the Akkadian armies and invaded Babylon at the end of 5th century BC, he let the Hebrews go back to their homeland and rebuild their holy temple. While a number of jews preferred to stay in Babylon under Persian rule, most of them freely and happily returned home. This was the first acquintance of Israelites with Zoroastroanism and also with the concept of a mighty Devil.

“And it came to pass” after more than a century, Alexander the Macedonian invaded the Near East in 332 BC. This time the Hebrews met with the Hellenistic culture and quickly began absorbing some of its elements. After Alexander’s death, the region was being controlled by the Ptolemean dynasty in Egypt, then by the Selevkos. During this time span, Hellenism gradually began to influence the Hebrew culture. It was a time of crisis for Judaism.

A long time had passed since Malaki’s death, the last prophet of the Old Testament. Hopes for a long-awaited Messiah were being lost day by day. The Hebrew rulers of the land became deeply influenced by the Hellenic culture. Elements of pagan Greek religion slowly began leaking into the daily life in the land of Judah, even under the “independent” Hasmonian Dynasty, after the successfull Maccabee Revolt. The rich jewish families began to prefer the “Hellenic way of life”. It was all a nightmare for some fundemantalist jews.

Around 150 BC, these fundemantalists began to organize an effective opposition in ther land of Judah. They left the cities and towns they lived in and moved to a region called “Qumran” near the Dead Sea. They were known as “Essenes” among the Jews and they were very sensitive about their religion. “Life should be lived as Torah (Old Testament) ordered” was their main principle. They considered the life in Judah as “decadent” and developed a ceremony to “purify themselves with water”: Baptism. This was a revolutionary new practise for Jews and probably imported from Persian Mithra cult (27).

By the end of the second century BC, the Essenes became a religious as well as a political power in the land of Judah. Their opposition created their own leader: His name is unfortunately unknown to us but his title was “The Righteous One”. His disciples began to travel the cities and performing sermons among people. (It is very likely that John the Baptist was also an Essene militant.)This was a very “tough opposition”: A Messianic sect of Jews was born and it was nothing but the very roots of the Christianity. The response of Judah establishment was tough too: Their leader, “The Righteous One” was arrested and killed brutally (probably by crucifixion).

The opposition of Essene movement also created a tradition: These were the scriptures and texts known as “inter-testament” or “apocryphal” books. Hundreds of these texts were found by a shepherd boy in the caves of Qumran, in 1947. (These are the so-called Dead Sea Scrolls.) Among them were the earliest copies of notorious “Book of Enoch”.

The Essene movement is important for our research for two reasons: First, the ideology represented in their sect and writings are the real roots of Christianity, thus, it is the “essence” of the concept of “Beast Number 666″ in John’s Revelation. And second, it integrates a Devil of “absolute evil” into Judeo-Christian ideology and directly uses the name and image of a Babylonian god in this concept. The Essenes, a “male-only” sect in Qumran, imported the Zoroastroanist “absolute evil” and considered it as the “eternal enemy” of the Lord God. Not surprisingly for us, they named this entity as “Belial”, a synonim for the Canaanite God “Baal” or “Bel”. This was nothing but the Canaanite version of Babylonian god Marduk. In most of the ancient Hebrew texts, Marduk was called “Bel-Merodach” or “Baal-Merodach”.

In Judah’s hard times, the Essenes believed that their religion and tradition was under the threat of a serious assimilation. Their people and local rulers was becoming “heretics” day by day (they were practising secret pagan rituals with Evil-Merodach’s present to Jeconiah.) All these were against the Lord God’s will and for this heresy, they were about to be punished by God. They browsed the pages of the Old Testament and concentrated on Daniel’s prophecy about the “End of Days”. They felt the fear in their hearts especially after an earthquake had killed 30,000 people in Jerusalem, in 32 BC. “The End of Days” were very near and it would come after a final battle between the Good and the Evil in heavens. The Evil One, was of course Babylonian god Marduk, who was supposed to come back in future.

The Essene movement bore the essence of Christianity in the first century BC. And after more than three centuries, Roman Emperor Constantine gave a “politically correct” decision about adopting this essence as the “official state religion”. In early fourth century A.D, Constantine organized a council in Nikaia (northwestern Turkey) to determine the main principles and philosophy of the new official religion. Bishops and priests discussed all the details during long days and “cleared” the elements of “opposition” and Essene fundamentalism from the core of the doctrine. While Essenes were interested with a Kingdom on this world, the Nikaia Council revised this as a “Netherworld Kingdom”. The political opposition was “swept” and a peaceful, obedient nature was adopted with the myth of Jesus Christ. Though some of the participants of Nikaia Council refused to sign the declaration (like Arius and his comrades) the new religion was formed eclectically, at the end of the discussions. And, John’s enigmatic Revelation still was the last chapter of the “Good News”.

Conclusion: Waiting for Marduk

As we know by now, the 10th planet of our solar system Nibiru/Marduk has an orbital period of 3661 years. And we also saw that its last orbital passage was around 1650 BC when a series of cataclysms were triggered. In this case, the giant planet is due to return around the year 2010. If Eric Thompson’s calculations are right, the Mayan Long Count also points at the year 2012 as the “end time”. We do not know the probable effects of the planet’s gravitational pull on Earth, though all the indications of the past suggest some natural disasters. But we have a more important problem ahead: “Are we ready to experience one of the most important events in human history?”

The “New World Order” of the “ Global Elite Empire” is taking the precautions to avoid any type of “disorder” during the orbital passage of Nibiru/Marduk: If “The Chaos Days” or “The Day Of The Lord” would lead any “potential Hyksos” to cause trouble somewhere on the earth, it would damage their “unilateral” dominance and shake their authority on the peoples of the world. They are not only fully aware of the existence of giant 10th Planet, but they know the exact arriving date as well. So the most aggressive and radical wing of the Elites organized a “coup d’Etat” among this “Corporate Empire” in early 2001 and seized power in the heart of the “imperial dreams”, The United States of America. Their strategy is not just concentrated on “pre-emptive” operations but a continuous or “chronical” war on the globe. The PNAC (Project for the New American Century) Elites want to get all the critical resources and “strategically important regions” under control, before the catastrophic days arrive. Their policy to mesmerize the public is “misinformation” and “disinformation” as usual.

But what should we do, while waiting for Marduk? Just sit back and watch how do they produce politics on the blood of the innocent for their Global Empire’s sake? Just wait and see how the Elites will protect themselves while millions will be dying during the catastrophes? Just bow our heads down and let this greedy plutocracy to rule the world again after “the end days”? This should be the main concern of intellectuals throughout the world in the remaining 8 or 9 years before 2012.
