The Sumerian King List: Antediluvian Kings

This list is commonly referred to as the Isin version of the Sumerian King List. The video illustrates the antediluvian section of the King List. There are many versions of The Sumerian King List. This text comes from an inscription found where the ancient Sumerian city Isin, once flourished. It is an update of earlier Sumerian king lists, adding Isins kings to Sumers royal roll call.

The list was inscribed during the reign of Damiqilishu of Isin (1816-1794 BCE). It presumed to be a list of kings from the beginning of history—when kingship was first handed down from Heaven. The inscription was made only a few years before Hammurabi of Babylon captured the city in the first half of the 18th century BCE to the emerging Babylonian Empire.

The chronology of Mesopotamian kings, the earliest of them being mythical figures, extends from the earliest times up to the 18th century B.C. The record is found on some fifteen tablets, primarily from the archives of Nippur (cf. Thorkild Jacobsen, The Sumerian King List, Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 1939, and Jean-Jacques Glassner, Chroniques mésopotamiennes, Paris, Belles Lettres, 1993). Several lists exist, with the Sumerian names transcribed into Akkadian and dating from the Amorite dynasty of Larsa (ca. 1800 B.C.) or composed at Isin (ca. 1900 B.C.); the most complete text of the list is found in the collection of Weld-Blundell, and has been translated by Thorkild Jacobsen (op. cit., pp. 70-77):

@beholdtheageofold .....but then they wouldn't be called a myth, then would they?

Sure, some myths contain kernels of truth but they are called myths for a reason. For example, the walls of Jericho that Bible contends were knocked down by Joshua and the Israelite's during the conquest of Israel, actually came down over a thousand years prior. The conquest, like the Exodus, is a myth, created to bolster the very earthly aims of the ancient people who created them.

@helvis213,

I do recall in the book of Jasher and parts of Jubilees that it gives *possible account that these pre dynasty kings of earth mentioned in the "Sumerian Kings List. In fact be a perverted detailing of characters in Genesis.

I would like to see your position in how you consider the Hebrews retelling the same detail of the Sumerians. With the exception of *YHWH belief. Do you consider the Israelites as thieves of early stone motifs?

@beholdtheageofold

As you may know, many of the cultures in the ancient near east shared ideas as well as myths. The Israelites basically did the same thing as everyone else: they incorporated what made sense to them into own culture and adapted those thoughts and ideas to fit their needs. The Sumerians borrowed from their predecessors as they did from their own and so and so on. The Bible's longevity stands as proof of just how well a job the Israelite's did.

[beholdtheageofold]

@helvis213 I AGREE!

I don't think any one stole from anyone. It was basic interpretation through different perspectives and tribes of a certain theme. One thing I can say is that I don't think the Hebrew literature was supposed to become a Bible.

The Israelites stories, seem to be a historical account of a tribe of people who revered a mighty deity, (Yah)(w), and that prophecy proved his authenticity. Not which religion one follows etc.

@beholdtheageofold

When Christianity was in its infancy the Hebrew Bible was codified. Bible simply means book. It's more just history...it is the foundation of a culture chockful of myths and stories that explain the Israelite's place in the world around them.

@helvis213 so how did the worlds 1st civilization, of whom appeared suddenly and inexplicably, get their "myths"

who were their predecessors? how did they get such precise knowledge of our solar system 6000 years ago?

google - V/A 243

why does the book of genesis seem like a smaller more condensed version of the enuma elish.

the creation of adamu and the garden of eden are explained there, the towel of babel,, "noahs" arc and the deluge, Elohim/Anunnaki.

Ego/bias aside, observe the evidence

@xXDominoXx There is no god behind "YHWH", Adonai (comes from Akhenaton's Aton or Atonis or Adonis), Elohim; occult perversion of El+Aum (aryan sacred word "OM"; which represents a Trinity of Shiva, Vishnu and Shiva) and other 70 names of "god" in the Bible... it is like a "Lord of the Rings" based on "Norse" mythology, and claimed that "Lord of the rings predates Norse mythology". This is "Bible, Torah, Quran, Zohar" stuff..

[VendPrekmurec]

@xXDominoXx Nifl-Heim (home) = Nav = Van or "Nirvana" or "Mir Vana" (in Slavic) - "Peace outside", "Place outside", "place of the dead ones", realm of shadows and extincted ones (as are dragons - dinosaurs). This is Astral.

@xXDominoXx DSS were dated (correctly) to 10th century AD (before Yahwists started a pressure...). Besides oldest script is in old Greek; there existed many "early versions of "torah"... they are all work of Osirian priesthood of Levites (Levi - Kosher - Hykso tribes: read Manetho about REAL "Mses"("son of") aka "Moses"(whose real name was Osarphys from Heliopolis)

"He" (Levites) created a Synopsis of the Book of the Dead and created so called "10 commandments" (which existed before "Moses")...

[xXDominoXx]

@VendPrekmurec The Dead Sea Scrolls/Qumran Scrolls can and were carbon dated

thus you have been proven wrong

[xXDominoXx]

@VendPrekmurec also "heim" in Niflheim, stems from a proto-Germanic word meaning "home" and "heim" is the Old Norse/Norse variant of it

@xXDominoXx there was no "old Israel". Israel as a state was created after WWII. Whole point of WWII was to create this occult, imaginary state.
