Enmerkar and En suhgir ana also known as Enmerkar and Ensuhkeshdanna is text in Sumerian literature appearing as a sequel to Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta , and is second in a series of four accounts describing the contests of Aratta against Enmerkar , lord of Uruk Unug and Kulaba, and his successor Lugalbanda , father of Gilgamesh . Synopsis The name of the Lord of Aratta, which never appeared in Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta , is here provided in a brief introduction. Among scholars, the earlier cuneiform reading of this name, Ensuhgirana , still enjoys currency alongside the more recent reading of it as Ensuhkeshdanna . The introduction also gives the name of Ensuhkeshdanna s chief minister, Ansigaria , and Enmerkar s chief minister, Namena tuma . Enmerkar is the Lord of both Unug and Kulaba, described as the city which rises from heaven to earth sic . Following this introduction, the plot opens with Ensuhkeshdanna dictating a message to his envoy, to be taken to Unug, demanding Enmerkar submit to Aratta, and boasting that his connections with the goddess Inanna are superior to those of Enmerkar. The envoy having traveled to Unug and delivered this message, Enmerkar responds that Inanna stays at the temple with him, and that she will not even go to Aratta for five or ten years he responds to Ensuhkeshdanna s boasts with a number of creative sexual taunts of his own even though she is not a duckling, she shrieks like one. When the messenger returns to Aratta with this message, Ensuhkeshdanna is perplexed and feels defeated. His counselors advise him to back off from confrontation with Enmerkar. However, he vows never to submit to Enmerkar, even if Aratta be utterly destroyed. At this point, a sorceror named Urgirinuna comes to Aratta, after his homeland of Hamazi has been vanquished. Urgirinuna promises the chief minister, Ansigaria, that he can make Enmerkar submit to Aratta. Ansigaria agrees to fund this mission, and the sorceror then proceeds to Eresh disam ... more details

mergeto Jiroft culture discuss Talk DESTINATIONPAGE Merger proposal date October 2010 coord 28.5 N 57.8 E display title Konar Sandal is a Bronze Age archaeological site, situated just south of Jiroft , Kerm n Province , Iran . It consists of two mounds a few kilometers apart, called Konar Sandal A and B with a height of 13 and 21 meters, respectively. At Konar Sandal B, a two story, windowed citadel with a base of close to 13.5 hectares was found. The site is associated with the hypothesized Jiroft culture , a 3rd millennium BC culture postulated on the basis of a collection of artifacts confiscated in 2001. The proposition of identifying the site as an independent Bronze Age civilization with its own architecture and language is due to Yousef Majidzadeh , head of the archaeological excavation team in Jiroft since. Majidzadeh speculates they may be the remains of the lost Aratta Kingdom. Other conjectures e.g. Daniel T. Potts, Piotr Steinkeller have connected the site with the obscure city state of Marhashi . Majidzadeh s conclusions have met with skepticism from reviewers. Muscarella 2004 notes that as of August 2004, no excavated artifacts have been reported from Madjidzadeh s excavation that relate or can be compared to the dissimilar, unexcavated objects confiscated in 2001 and published by Majidzadeh in his 2003 Catalogue.

Hamazi or Khamazi Sumerian language Sumerian a ma zi sup ki sup ref http etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk cgi bin etcsl.cgi?text c.2.1.1&display Crit&charenc gcirc The Sumerian King List . Accessed 15 Dec 2010. ref was an ancient kingdom or city state of some importance that reached its peak ca. 2500 2400 BC. Its exact location is unknown, but is thought to have been located in the western Zagros mountains roughly between Elam and Assyria , possibly near Nuzi or modern Hamadan . Hamazi first came to the attention of archaeologists with the discovery of a vase with an inscription in very archaic cuneiform commemorating the victory of Utug or Uhub , an early king of Kish Sumer Kish , over this place, causing fringe theorist Laurence Waddell in 1929 to speculate that it was to be identified with Carchemish in Syria . It is now generally considered to have been somewhere in the vicinity of the Diyala River Diyala . One of the earliest references to Hamazi is found in the epic Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta , where Enmerkar prays to Enki about the confusion of languages in the various inhabited lands, at the time of the building of the ziggurat s in Eridu and Uruk . Hamazi is the only land mentioned in this prayer with the epithet many tongued . A sequel, Enmerkar and En suhgir ana also mentions that the sorceror of Hamazi, Urgirinuna, went to Aratta after Hamazi had been destroyed he is later sent by the Lord of Aratta on a failed mission attempting to bring Enmerkar into submission. According to the Sumerian king list , king Hadanish of Hamazi held hegemony over Sumer after defeating Kish, but was in turn defeated by Enshakushanna of Uruk . A clay tablet found in the archives at Ebla in Syria bears a copy of a diplomatic message sent from king Irkab Damu of Ebla to king Zizi of Hamazi, along with a large quantity of wood, hailing him as a brother, and requesting him to send mercenaries in exchange.

Mesopotamian myth heroes Enmerkar , according to the Sumerian king list , was the builder of Uruk in Sumer , and was said to have reigned for 420 years some copies read 900 years . The king list adds that Enmerkar brought the official kingship with him from the city of E ana after his father Mesh ki ang gasher , son of Utu , had entered the sea and disappeared. Enmerkar is also known from a few other Sumerian legends, most notably Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta , where a previous confusion of the languages of mankind is mentioned. In this account, it is Enmerkar himself who is called the son of Utu the Sumerian sun god . Aside from founding Uruk, Enmerkar is said here to have had a temple built at Eridu , and is even credited with the invention of writing on clay tablets, for the purpose of threatening Aratta into submission. Enmerkar furthermore seeks to restore the disrupted linguistic unity of the inhabited regions around Uruk, listed as Shubur , Hamazi , Sumer , Uri ki the region around Akkad , and the Amorite Martu land. Three other texts in the same series describe Enmerkar s reign. In Enmerkar and En suhgir ana , while describing Enmerkar s continued diplomatic rivalries with Aratta, there is an allusion to Hamazi having been vanquished. In Lugalbanda in the Mountain Cave , Enmerkar is seen leading a campaign against Aratta. The fourth and last tablet, Lugalbanda and the Anzud Bird Lugalbanda and the Anzu Bird , describes Enmerkar s year long siege of Aratta. It also mentions that fifty years into Enmerkar s reign, the Martu people had arisen in all of Sumer and Akkad, necessitating the building of a wall in the desert to protect Uruk. In these last two tablets, the character of Lugalbanda is introduced as one of Enmerkar s war chiefs. According to the Sumerian king list, it was this Lugalbanda the shepherd who eventually succeeded Enmerkar to the throne of Uruk.

The concept and anglicized spelling nam shub was popularized by Neal Stephenson s novel Snow Crash . Meaning and nuances Various namcub have been used in Sumerian Mythology, primarily by the Annunaki Gods , for various purposes. As is noted in Snow Crash , most of the uses correspond to mental or psychological changes, as opposed to changes in the physical world, which in the context of the book implies that it is an early form of Neuro linguistic programming NLP . Some examples are its use in Enki and Innana and the Me mythology Me , in which a namcub is used to alternately command Nuddimud in this myth a servant of Enki , not a pseudonym for Enki himself and make him forget the commands by Innana , and in Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta , which contains the best known namcub the Namcub of Nuddimud, written in Snow Crash as The Namshub of Enki . Notation, transliteration, and confusion Neal Stephenson used primarily the works of Samuel Kramer as a source including his translation of The Namshub of Enki , and in the process propagated a non standard transliteration of various words, including namcub. By using the spelling Namshub which was a rough phonetic transliteration by Kramer, whose work predates most of the standard transliteration techniques for the Sumerian language , he popularized a spelling that is incompatible with current techniques and notation Fact date July 2009 .
