En-men-dur-ana

En-men-dur-ana (also Emmeduranki) of Sippar was an ancient Sumerian king, whose name appears in the Sumerian King List as the seventh pre-dynastic king of Sumer (before ca. 2900 BC). He was said to have reigned for 21,000 years.

Name[edit]

His name means "chief of the powers of Dur-an-ki", while "Dur-an-ki" in turn means "the meeting-place of heaven and earth" (literally "bond of above and below").[1]

City[edit]

En-men-dur-ana's city Sippar was associated with the worship of the sun-god Utu, later called Shamash in the Semitic language. Sumerian and Babylonian literature attributed the founding of Sippar to Utu.[2]

Myth[edit]

A myth written in a Semitic language tells of Emmeduranki, subsequently being taken to heaven by the gods Shamash and Adad, and taught the secrets of heaven and of earth. In particular, Emmeduranki was taught arts of divination, such as how to inspect oil on water and how to discern messages in the liver of animals and several other divine secrets.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
En-men-dur-ana, held significance among the Pre-Sumerians as he was the ancestor from whom all priests of the Sun God had to be able to trace descent.[9]
He is sometimes linked to the Biblical patriarch, Enoch due to cultural associations between Enoch in the Genesis genealogies and En-men-dur-ana in the Sumerian King List.[10] Both people are the 7th name in a list of ante-deluvian patriarchs with long lifespans. En-men-dur-ana is associated with Sippar (which was associated with sun worship) while Enoch's lifespan is 365 years which is parallel to the number of days in a solar year (365 days).[11]

  1. THE CALENDAR OF GOD 360 DAYS AND THE CALENDAR OF ENOCH ARE THE SAME CALENDAR, THE CALENDAR OF ENOCH IN THE BOOK OF ENOCH IS EXPLAINED. { INTER CALARY DAYS } THE DAY BETWEEN EACH 90 DAY SEASON, MISSING IS THE DAY BETWEEN THE 2 HALVES OF THE YEAR, DAY # 183 / 2 X 182.5 = 365. THERE ARE 5 UN COUNTED DAYS ON GODS CALENDAR THE 91st DAY
    THE 182nd day, THE 183rd day, { the middle day of the year which is the .5 of each half }THE 274th DAY AND THE 365th DAY ALL STILL THERE BUT NOT COUNTED. THE ACTUAL YEAR IS 365 DAYS.
    A 4 YEAR PERIOD { 4 X 360 = 1440 } IS 21 DAYS SHORT OF THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF 1461 DAYS PER 4 YEAR PERIOD. THIS 21000 YEARS IS ACTUALLY 21 YEARS { A DAY IS A THOUSAND AND A THOUSAND IS A DAY }1440 + 21 = 1461
    42 MONTHS + 6 MONTHS + 21 DAYS = 1461
    42 X 30 =1260 + 6 X 30 = 180 + 21 = 1461
    THE MIRROR { B.C. / A.D. } 1260 DAYS X 2 = 2520
    2520 IS DIVIDABLE BY ALL 9 DIGITS AS IS NO OTHER NUMBER.
    THE CYCLE { MENSTRUAL } OF LIFE = 28 DAYS
    13 X 28 = 364 ENOCH CALENDAR HAS 364 DAYS
    THE YEAR HAS 13 MONTHS { MOONTHS } 13 X 28 = 364
    DAY 183 NOT COUNTED UNTIL LEAP YEAR, 4 X .25 NOW BECOMES A FULL DAY AND IS FINALLY COUNTED 365 X 3 + 366 = 1461.
