Enlil (EN = Lord + LIL = Loft, "Lord of the Open" or "Lord of the Wind") was the name of a chief deity listed and written about in ancient Sumerian, Akkadian, Hittite, Canaanite and other Mesopotamian clay and stone tablets. The name is perhaps pronounced and sometimes rendered in translations as Ellil in later Akkadian, Hittite, and Canaanite literature.
Enlil was considered to be the god of breath, wind, loft, and breadth.

  • narration of the translation with the music at a lower volume would have been more utilitarian for us mobile folks, but interesting none the less.. keep it up =)

  • I believe this is a page from a court hearing being levied against Enlil. The sarcastic prosecutor is accusing him of not only impersonating Anu using forbidden magic, but also of conspiring to transport food from Nibru to Earth, giving his worshipers a clear advantage over the other tribes of humans. He then makes a vein attempt to excuse Enlil's wife as a pawn , who had encouraged enlil to go straight But so far I've only read it once..

  • Nibiru is fake and delusional..as is all of Zacharia Sitchin's (sp) work.

  • that one is wearing a hand watch for god sack..did they invented or it was a gift from ananakee?

  • Ahh Nibru, beloved place of the worthy and just! Alas your loss to US now

  • Interesting but Enki (brother of Enlil) created the human from an upright walking ape. After many generations of human growth Enlil determined to allow humans to be destroyed along with the fallen angels, giants and sinners(?). If Enki is creator of humanity and Enlil wished to destroy human life then who would be the better of the two?

  • AWESOME, WONDERFUL, Thanks for this!!!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!
