Anu-60, Enlil-50, Enki-40

Anu-60 (the sky, Uranus), Enlil-50 (the wind, Saturn), Enki-40 (the earth, Hermes)

Enlil named the present era, his, “Age of the Bull.”  He had his sons and grandsons declare themselves and the other Nibirans and their pure descendants  gods.  The gods, he ordered, would direct their slaves to build temples and cities to serve  them.  He ranked his father, King Anu, 60 and designated himself and his successor, Ninurta, 50s.  Enlil ranked Enki 40, Nannar, 30.  Nannar’s son Utu ranked 20, Ute’s sister Inanna,15.

The “gods” rebuilt the cities of Edin/Mesopotamia; in each city there they built a temple-home for its principal god.   Ninurta got Lagash, where he had a both a hangar for his aircraft, armory for his missiles and a temple-home for himself and his wife, Bau.  Utu, from his rebuilt city of Sippar,  was given the task of creating laws for the humans.  Nannar was given the city of Urim.  Ishkur/Adad returned from the Andes to a temple in the mountains north of Mesopotamia.  Marduk and Nabu came to stay at Enki’s place in Eridu.

[Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, pages 276 -278]

The Anunnaki lords created Ninurta’s city, Kishi, the first city ruled by a Adapite king whom Ninurta appointed.   Ninurta had journeyed  to Eridu to get the computer programs (MEs) he needed for a human city.

Remember that Inanna had, in reaction, traveled to Eridu on the Persian Gulf, seduced Enki and got him, while he was drunk, lusting and enchanted by her, to give her MEs which would let her convert her Mesopotamian temple precinct at Uruk into a king-ruled city dedicated to her. Enki had tried to get the MEs back, but Enlil had not only said Inanna could keep them for Uruk, and that “When their time term of Kishi shall be completed, to Ung-ki kingship shall pass.”

[Sitchin, Z., 2002, The Lost Book of Enki, page 281]

Marduk felt he, not Inanna, should succeed Ninurta as the Lord whom the next line of Earth kings should obey.   Marduk raged when he heard that Inanna also now had precedence over him in Mesopotamia.

Number 40 in the Bible

Isaiah 40:26 MSG.

In Sumerian mythology, Anu (also An; from Sumerian An, “sky, heaven”) was a sky-god, the god of heaven, lord of constellations, king of gods, spirits and demons, and dwelt in the highest heavenly regions. It was believed that he had the power to judge those who had committed crimes, and that he had created the stars as soldiers to destroy the wicked. His attribute was the royal tiara. His attendant and minister of state was the god Ilabrat.

capped by the Mind’s Eye (Third Eye) in the Triangle.

Most Freemasons, when asked the meaning of their Square & Compasses logo, state: “Both…are architect’s tools…to teach symbolic lessons…”

—Wikipedia

However, the Square and Compasses logo has a meaning that goes much deeper than merely teaching lessons. Notice how the Compasses tool on top draws a “circular” shape:

The Square tool on the bottom draws a “square” shape:

When placed together, as in the logo of the Freemasons, the Compasses tool and the Square tool form a square and circle:

The square and circle shapes are related in Euclid’s 47th problem of “Squaring The Circle,” said to be the primary goal of the Masonic craft.

Squaring the circle, however, does not in this case refer to a mathematical problem: it is a spiritual reference to man’s instinctive quest to harmonize our physical and spiritual natures.

Since Antiquity, the square has represented the physical body. The circle, on the other hand, has always represented the soul.
