Sumerian Tablets
Was a fine path; straight it was and easy to travel.
They saw also the Cedar Mountain, where lived the gods
The holy mountain
where the Gods lived.
And Irnini, Goddess of Love, holy Inanna had her throne seat
The physical seat between
heaven and earth
The cedar raised aloft its great luxuriant growth:
Forest abounded
What cool shade, what delight! .....
'A second dream I saw:
We were standing in mountain gorges
there mountains
separated by gorges, more than one mountain.
And a mountain fell upon us.
My friend, that mountain which you saw
That mountain is Humbaba.
The Mountain was
important, it had a name.
We shall seize Humbaba, we shall kill him,
And cast his dead body on the plain....The
mountain was in a plain
...Enkidu said to his friend, said to Gilgamesh:
'My friend, Humbaba the guardian of the Cedar Forest......
There was guardian of
the location, it was protected
Strike him to maim him.
There was conspiracy
Kill him! Crush him! And quickly,
Humbaba, the guardian of the forest -
The protector is killed
Strike him to maim him.
Kill him! Crush him! And quickly.
Before God Enlil, the Foremost hears his cries.
The gods will be filled with wrath against us for our deed....
...Gilgamesh heeded the words of his friend.
With his hand he took the axe,
Drew the sword from his belt.
Gilgamesh struck the neck of Humbaba,
Sounds like a description of the neck of the
peninsula.
Enkidu, his friend, struck Humbaba twice also.
There was more than one
conspiring.
At the third blow Humbaba fell.
Confusion..... dumbfounded,
He struck the watchman, Humbaba, to the ground.
For two leagues the cedars resounded.
Enkidu killed with him
Forest.... cedars
At whose word Mount Hermon -Saria Holy place,
Place of the
transfiguration of Jesus.
And all the Lebanon trembled.
Major earthquakes and
destruction in the Lebanon Area.
All the mountains became.......
Mountains fall
All the hills became.......
Hills become no more
He slew the ......cedars,
All the forest are gone
Those destroyed....Everything
is destroyed parallels again that the location was destroyed by flood and
earthquake.
