Global flood

[rupol2000]

In the Sumerian-Akkadian and Semitic mythology, this is interpreted as the initiative of the gods to destroy people. But there is also Aryan mythology. It says that Indra broke the strongholds and released the waters. And it is interpreted there as a blessing for people.

There is no doubt that the strongholds that Indra broke are precisely dams, because the result of this was the release of waters. In the Sumerian-Akkadian mythology, it is also said that the dams were the cause of the flood.

There is no doubt that this is a historic event.

Slave owners lived in the upper Mesopotamia and organized oasis agriculture, which was detrimental to pastoralists. There was a War, Indra defeated and destroyed the Dams, and also released the cattle captured by the farmers.
The farmers were just in the region of Assyria, and the Aryans called their Enemy Assurs.

 

[rupol2000]

At a certain period, the Aryan order was established in Babylon. The cult of Bel and Marduk are undoubtedly Aryan cults. The myth of Marduk is an exact copy of the Aryan Serpentfighter myth.

Perhaps Indra somehow influenced also the legend of Nimrod

13. Indra at once with conquering might demolished all their strong places and their seven castles.
The goods of Anu's son he gave to Trtsu. May we in sacrifice conquer scorned Puru.
14. The Anavas and Druhyus, seeking booty, have slept, the sixty hundred, yea, six thousand,
And six-and-sixty heroes. For the pious were all these mighty exploits done by Indra.

There is no doubt that Anu is the forerunner of the Anuak, the creator gods of Sumero-Akkadian mythology, who supposedly caused the flood.

The Anyuak, also known as Anyua and Anywaa, are a Luo Nilotic ethnic group inhabiting parts of East Africa. The Anuak belong to the larger Luo family group. Their language is referred to as Dha-Anywaa. They are primarily found in Gambela Region in western Ethiopia, South Sudan as well as Sudan. Group members number between 200,000 and 300,000 people worldwide.[1] Many of the Anyuak people now follow Christianity. It is one of the first of the Nilotic groups to become almost entirely Christian, following the Shilluk people.
...
The Anuak are from the family of Nilotes. They have lived in the area of the Upper Nile for hundreds of years and consider their land to be their tribal land. Hundreds of thousands of Anuak people immigrated to the United States to escape the wars,[dubious – discuss] where they live mostly in Minnesota,[citation needed] which had a refugee resettlement program.

The Epic of Gilgamesh​

The Epic of Gilgamesh is, perhaps, the oldest written story on Earth. It comes to us from Ancient Sumeria, and was originally written on 12 clay tablets in cunieform script. It is about the adventures of the historical King of Uruk (somewhere between 2750 and 2500 BCE).

Epic of Gilgamesh

...........
The Epic of Gilgamesh (/ˈɡɪlɡəmɛʃ/)[2] is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia, regarded as the earliest surviving notable literature and the second oldest religious text, after the Pyramid Texts. The literary history of Gilgamesh begins with five Sumerian poems about Bilgamesh (Sumerian for "Gilgamesh"), king of Uruk, dating from the Third Dynasty of Ur (c. 2100 BC).[1] These independent stories were later used as source material for a combined epic in Akkadian. The first surviving version of this combined epic, known as the "Old Babylonian" version, dates to the 18th century BC and is titled after its incipit, Shūtur eli sharrī ("Surpassing All Other Kings"). Only a few tablets of it have survived. The later Standard Babylonian version compiled by Sîn-lēqi-unninni dates from the 13th to the 10th centuries BC and bears the incipit Sha naqba īmuru[note 1] ("He who Saw the Abyss", in modern terms: "He who Sees the Unknown"). Approximately two-thirds of this longer, twelve-tablet version have been recovered. Some of the best copies were discovered in the library ruins of the 7th-century BC Assyrian king Ashurbanipal.
...
In the second half of the epic, distress over Enkidu's death causes Gilgamesh to undertake a long and perilous journey to discover the secret of eternal life. He eventually learns that "Life, which you look for, you will never find. For when the gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own hands".[5][6] Nevertheless, because of his great building projects, his account of Siduri's advice, and what the immortal man Utnapishtim told him about the Great Flood, Gilgamesh's fame survived well after his death with expanding interest in the Gilgamesh story which has been translated into many languages and is featured in works of popular fiction.

Utnapishtim or Utanapishtim (Akkadian: 𒌓𒍣) is a character in ancient Mesopotamian mythology. He is tasked by the god Enki (Ea) to create a giant ship to be called Preserver of Life in preparation of a giant flood that would wipe out all life. The character appears in the Epic of Gilgamesh.[1]

The Gilgamesh flood myth is a flood myth in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Many scholars believe that the flood myth was added to Tablet XI in the "standard version" of the Gilgamesh Epic by an editor who used the flood story from the Epic of Atrahasis.[1] A short reference to the flood myth is also present in the much older Sumerian Gilgamesh poems, from which the later Babylonian versions drew much of their inspiration and subject matter.

[DudleySmith]

Nothing 'mysterious n stuff' about great floods and attempts to work them into ancient histories. The mountains all across Asia and even the Himalayas have sea creature fossils far up their elevations. Most ancient peoples saw them and noted them, then needed to account for them in their historical speculations.

The gods create humans to replace the Igigi to work. Then they annoy the chief Annunak Enlil, at the meeting they vote for destruction and try to destroy several times. God Enki saves "Noah" against the wishes of the Annunaki

The important thing here is that Indra destroyed the leader Anu. there is a coincidence in different mythologies. There is no doubt that the Annunaki are the Assurs, the enemies of Indra.

Indra at once with conquering might demolished all their strong places and their seven castles.
The goods of Anu's son he gave to Trtsu. May we in sacrifice conquer scorned Puru.

Another interpretation for Annunaki is "those whom from Heaven to Earth came."

Where "Annu"=Heaven; Ki = Earth; & "na" is the transitive verb for 'came from'.

Hence the "Sky Gods/Goddesses" of the religious pantheon of the Sumerian~Akkadian~Babylonian = SAB; civilizations/culture. Note that while the language remained mostly the same, as did the culture, the names apply different dynasties or clans/factions that ruled and their capitals.

BTW, some scholars have noted that this pantheon of Deities is essentially the same as applied to later cultures/civilizations such as ancient and classical Egypt, India, Greece, Rome, and others of the Greater Eastern Mediterranean regions. Names might have changed, but attributes remained the same.

Classic example is: Inanna~Ishtar~Isis~Aphrodite~Venus

 

[Stryder50]

1) Establishment of our earliest and classic civilizations of the Old World are fairly close in timing, with Sumer as accepted first and a near tie between Indus~India and Ancient Egypt.

2) FWIW, earliest written records of Sumer(SAB) claim that their cities were built upon the locations of those that existed prior to the "Great Flood" Event. To best of my knowledge and searches to date, no one has excavated deeply enough under these Sumerian city sites to see if any older ruins remain.

3) To build a vessel of the size and structural strength attributed to the Ark would require more than just the efforts of Noah(Utanapishtim) and his few sons. Per the SAB accounts, the efforts of one or more cities were involved. Consider, that some one else will be involved in growing and providing food for the work crews, some one else will be cutting the trees and making them into beams and planks, and others will be involved in the transport and support of such a major endeavor. Building the Ark is on the scale of one of the Great Wonders of the Ancient World.

In fact, there was no single pantheon, there were old and new gods. The old gods are chthonic, the new heavenly, this speaks of the Aryan conquest of the Levant.

But it is not yet clear how It could be related to the Anunnaki.

It’s clear that they just got into the bible

Actually, from my researches into this, the initial mining of gold was done by some of the Annunaki themselves and when these "miners" "revolted" against the hard labors and toils they were doing, that is when Enki suggested an adjustment(genetic) to the existing pre-human species on Earth/Ki to provide replacement workers.

The Igigi were a subset of that effort producing another sub-species adapted to working in outer space to support that part of the mining efforts happening on Earth/Ki where the gold was to be shipped off-plant to the Annunaki Home World Nibiru.

 

[rupol2000]

Yes, there is some kind of connection with the sky. The god Anu is the god of heaven. Enki who saved the people was the god of water. There was Mom, who was directly involved in the creation of a person from clay.

But the Aryans also had heavenly gods. Indra was considered the heavenly god, Dyaus was the heavenly father, and the personification of the Bull. The Aryan Bull completely coincides with the Babylonian Bel.

Apparently, before the collision, both groups had their own gods. Then there was partial syncretism.

More specifically you mean the Old Testament(Torah) of Jewish "creation". Claim is that after Abram's pact with JHWH/God, when he becomes known as Abraham, about 2000 BC; most of Jewish scripture was an oral tradition.

It was after the time of captivity in Babylon where the Jews acquired a written language and incorporated variations of the SAB cultural written records into the written Old Testament, mostly the book of Genesis.

Mythology is the key word there. Its code for complete rubbish.

Did he really.

There is no doubt that the strongholds that Indra broke are precisely dams, because the result of this was the release of waters.

Where were all these dams that caused a global flood? Who built a dam that big? Comrade. You've been hallucinating.

In the Sumerian-Akkadian mythology, it is also said that the dams were the cause of the flood.

There is no doubt that this is a historic event.

Might be no doubt in your mind but not in the eyes of history.
