Chapter 10 The Badtibila Dynasty

After Eanna's death, because she was the god of reproduction, the world became lifeless.

The bull no longer pursues the cow, the young couple lives separately, the pregnant woman does not give birth to a child, the cry of the baby is not heard in the city, the grass and trees wither, and the grain is not harvested. The gods panicked and discussed what to do.

The only one who could make up his mind was Enki, who used the soil of the abyss to create a eunuch as his messenger, and gave him the water of life so that he could use it to rescue Eanna.

The eunuch went down to the underworld, and because of his loveliness, Elshkigal fell in love at first sight.

She cast a spell to keep the eunuch in Hades, and then relaxed her control over Aeanna, who took the opportunity to save Aeanna, who in turn revived Tumus. Both husband and wife escaped from the clutches of Ereshkigal.

When she crossed the seventh gate, she found her belt, when she crossed the sixth gate, she found the net, when she passed the fifth gate, she found the gold bracelet, when she passed the fourth gate, she found the double pendant, when she passed the third gate, she found the lapis lazuli bead ornament, when she passed the second gate, she found the measuring rope, and when she passed the first gate, she found the crown.

When Eanna took Tumus's hand and returned to the ground, she was radiant again, and the earth came back to life. Recalling the adventures in Hades is like a distant nightmare.

Ereshkigale: Lady of the Earth, Eanna's sister, is the queen of the underworld, and is a very powerful goddess (because in the Sumerian mythological system, whether you are a king or a beggar, a good man or a criminal, the underworld under the abyss is the only destination for mankind, and the queen of the underworld essentially has a position alongside the three main gods), and the gods have an inexplicable fear of her.

Gugalana: Ereshkigale's husband, who has no place in related mythology, was killed by Ereshkigal for having an affair with Ianna. With his death, the conflict between Ereshkigal and her sister Eanna erupted.

But Ereshkigal's position did not last long, as Negar soon invaded Hades from the heavenly realm and became the de facto ruler of Hades.

Negar: The god of war, hunting, arrows, and cholera, also known as Ella (Era), is the son of Enlil and the brother of Ningirsu and Nishaba, and is closely associated with Mars and Sagittarius. In related myths and legends, he forcibly married Ereshkigal and became the king of Hades.

The Temple of Negar is in the city of Kud and is the patron deity of the city of Kud.

The Sumerians like to add a prefix or suffix to their names, connected by a horizontal line, or lu for a man, or gal for a great king, or a shorthand for the name of a god, for example, the name has Xin is a simplified pronunciation of the moon god Suen, representing the city-state of origin, because the protector god of each city is different, and generally know the city from which it is born. It was customary for the Sumerians to have either the title of a king such as gal or a shorthand for the name of a god.

"Elidu declined, and the royal power was transferred to Badtibera. ”

Nmi Lu Anna-ana, reigned 3985-3865.

The city of Badtibila (a) was originally a local indigenous settlement, located on the east bank of the Euphrates River, not far northwest of the ruins of Uruk.

In 3985 BC, Nmi Ru Anna led some Sumerians to Badtibila to merge with the local natives and establish the First Dynasty of Badtibera.

Enmi Galle Anna-ana, reigned 80 BC, 3865-3785 BC.

In 3865 BC, Nmi Galle Anna founded the Second Dynasty of Badtibera.

St. Tumus, reigned 30 years, 3785-3755 BC. Prefix: Height.

In 3785 BC, St. Tumus founded the Third Dynasty of Badtibera.

The legend of Tumus was previously introduced, and according to legend, he was the grandson of the last king of Elidu. At the same time, he was also deified by later generations as the god of plants, Tumus.

In 3760 BC, St. Tumus captured Eridu. Bad Tibera became the new political center of Mesopotamia.

Lural, reigned 33 BC, 3755-3722 BC.

In 3755 BC, Lural, son of St. Tumus, succeeded to the throne of Badtibila.

Bad Tibera houses the temple of St. Tumus and his son Lural.

In 3505 BC, Bad Tibila was captured by the Lalrak dynasty. The Third Dynasty of Badtibera, which had ruled for 280 years, fell.

Successive generations of Sumerians believed in the doctrine of "divine authority of kings", but after the capture of Badtibera, people no longer believed in this saying, and began to believe in "princes and generals, rather have a kind of thing", which opened the prelude to the civil war in the Sumerian states.

In order to adapt to the saying of "divine authority of kings", the Sumerians even wrote the year of the king for tens of thousands of years. It makes the interpretation of the Sumerian Kings by later generations like a codebreaker, but not to mention, there are still rules in it. And the rules are written in the king's table, but ordinary people don't pay attention to it, of course, even if they do, it's not easy to calculate. In fact, the Sumerian chronology is somewhat similar to the Chinese Ganzhi chronology. Both were 60-digit dregs, but the Sumerians further developed the 360-decimal dary. The Ganzhi chronology is a combination of 10 and 12 to take the greatest common divisor to form a mixed carry method of decimal and twelve.

To put it simply: the 60-decimal chronology is often used to describe the number of years a king's personal reign. Generally, greater than 60 is an invalid number, usually to subtract another 60 years, of course, the existence of special cases can not be ruled out; correspondingly, the 360 decimal chronology is usually used to describe the reign of the dynasty, in the "Sumerian King Table" is mainly used to describe the dynasties before the flood, its rulers can no longer be verified, so can only use the name of the dynasty list, and the reign of the dynasty can not be simply expressed in 60 years, but in 360 years. Dynasties that are generally older than 360 years are in doubt, and they are usually minus 360 years. So division and subtraction can be very popular in it.
