The Cosmic War: Interplanetary Warfare, Modern Physics and Ancient Texts

138. “Thy command shalt not be without avail, and [the word of thy mouth shall be establisbed]. ”
139. Now Kingu, (thus) exalted, having received [the power of Anu]...292
“The reference to “the power of Anu” is significant, since “Anu” in the Babylonian theogony is the name of God. Thus, whatever the “Tablets of Destiny” were, they conveyed such tremendous power to their possessor that the power was regarded as being divine.
“If one now combines the insights of Alford and Sitchin, for whom such ancient texts and names of “gods” were metaphors of naturally occurring planetary collisions and catastrophes - a metaphor telling of the destruction of the fifth planet of the solar system by collision with another large celestial body - with Sir Laurence Gardner’s understanding of such texts as a “titular” usage of the proper names of the sovereigns of the planets or regions involved, then one is left with the picture of an actual, though extremely ancient, war of interplanetary celestial, or “heavenly” scale, exactly as recounted in other ancient traditions.
“But what was the reason for this war? According to the epic, it was Tiamat’s possession of these mysterious “Tablets of Destiny” and the extreme power they conveyed. This constituted the primary reason for the war against her and for her utter destruction at the hands of her opponents. And this brings us to Marduk, the chief of her opponents in the epic, and to his arsenal and to “The Sequence of Tiamat’s Destruction.”
(3) The Sequence of Tiamat’s Destruction by Marduk in the Enuma Elish
(a) Marduk ’s Appointment as Sovereign
“The epic quickly moves to the topic of the appointment of Marduk as the leader of the coalition to defeat Tiamat:
13. O Marduk, thou art our avenger!
14. We give thee sovereignty over the whole world.
15. Sit thou down in might, be exalted in thy command.293
“Marduk a little further on is then given a very interesting mission:
31. Go, and cut off the life of Tiamat,
32. and let the wind carry her blood into secret places.294
“The significance of this mission will be lost unless one bears in mind the titular pars pro toto paradigm. On that view, Marduk is charged to destroy the entire planet represented by the titular term “Tiamat.” The horrendous biological and weather weapons Tiamat has unleashed on her opponents has called forth an escalation of the war as her opponents now call for her complete destruction. This is hinted at by the phrase that her blood - the life of the planet - is to be carried “into secret places.”
(b) Marduk’s Weaponry: The “Stealth Suit” and Invisible Weapon
“In this same context, Marduk is then given two rather interesting weapons, from this “paleophysical” point of view, one of which, perhaps, represents some form of stealth technology:
23. “Command now and let the garment vanish,
24. and speak the word again and let the garment reappear!”
25. Then he spake with his mouth, and the garment vanished;
26. Again he commanded it, and the garment reappeared.295
“In addition to this “stealth suit,” Marduk is given an invincible weapon, a weapon far exceeding Tiamat’s biological and weather arsenal:
27. When the gods, his fathers, beheld (the fulfillment of) his word,
28. they rejoiced, and they did homage (unto him, saying) “Marduk is King!”
29. They bestowed upon him the sceptre, and the throne, and the ring,
30. They give him an invincible weapon, which overwbelmeth the foe.296
“What this invincible weapon may be is not described nor named, but its effects appear to be in view in the following passage:
39. He set the lightning in front of him,
40. with burning flame he filled his body,
41. he made a net to enclose the inward parts of Tiamat,
42. the four winds he stationed so that nothing of her might escape,-...
43. The South wind and the North wind and the East wind and the West wind
44. He brought near to the net, the gift of his father Anu.
45. he created the evil wind, and the tempest, and the hurricane,
46. and the fourfold wind, and the sevenfold wind, and the whirlwind, and the wind which hath no equal.297
“This passage implies a rather remarkable set of characteristics of the “invincible weapon”:
“(a) Its use apparently involved lightning, i.e., extremes of electrostatic energy;
“(b) The “net ” used to “enclose the inward parts of Tiamat” recalls the language of another Babylonian epic, the Lugal-e, which forms so much of the material Zechariah Sitchin used to reconstruct his “Second Pyramid War.”298 As was detailed in my first book, The Giza Death Star, the term “net” in the Lugal-e occurred in a context such as to suggest a weapon employing gravity and acoustics as its primary component. Thus, the “inward parts of Tiamat” strongly suggests an interpretation, not of planetary “external” collisions, but something “internal,” affecting the planetary core of Tiamat. Thus, Marduk’s “invincible weapon” appears to be able to tap into the field of space-time, i.e., the medium itself, and thereby the planetary center of Tiamat. While this interpretation is at this juncture highly speculative, it is corroborated in quite strong language at the end of the fourth tablet as we shall see.
“(c) If one understands the “net” in this fashion, as the gridwork or lattice or cellular-like structure of the medium itself, then further corroboration of this reading would appear to be provided by the reference to the “four winds,” which might be taken to mean the compass points, or even more abstractly, coordinate references. In this regard, it will be recalled that the ancient Hindu epics, examined in The Giza Death Star,299 made similar reference to a weapon that was tied to the four points of the compass.
“(1) Alternatively, such references to the “four winds” or “the four compass points” or, as is very common, the “four corners of the earth” might also be taken as indicating something even more profound. It will be recalled from The Giza Death Star Deployed that the simplest geometric solid that can be circumscribed in a sphere is a tetrahedron, a four-sided pyramid with four vertices touching the surface of a sphere.
“(d) Finally, the passage refers to weather weapons that are specifically rotational or vorticular in nature: “hurricanes” and “whirlwinds”. In the context of the reading I am advancing here, these might be metaphors for structures involving longitudinal pressure waves in the medium. If this is true, them this is a very significant clue as to the fundamental unifying concept of paleophysics. It is, perhaps, the single most important clue, for it points clearly to vortex physics.
“With these thoughts in mind, we turn to the Sequence of Tiamat’s Destruction itself. This “Sequence” comprises the main theme of the Fourth Tablet of the Enuma Elish. In it, as we shall see, the signature of Marduk’s “invincible weapon” points very strongly to it being the type of “scalar” weapon employing such distortions or pressure waves in the medium as its primary component, exactly what I have argued in The Giza Death Star and The Giza Death Star Deployed:
47. He sent forth the winds which he had created, the seven of them;
48. to disturb the inward parts of Tiamat, they followed after him.
49. Then the Lord raised the thunderbolt, his mighty weapon,
50. He mounted the chariot, the storm unequalled for terror,
51. He harnessed and yoked it unto four horses,
52. Destructive, ferocious, overwhelming, and swift of pace...300
58. With overwhelming brightness his head was crowned...
...
65. And the Lord drew nigh, he gazed upon the inward parts of Tiamat...301
75. Then the Lord [raised] the thunderbolt, his mighty weapon...
76. [and against] Tiamat, who was raging, thus he sent (the word):
77. ”[Thou art become great, thou hast exalted thyself on high,
<
br /> ...
78. and thy [heart hath prompted] thee to call to battle....“302
87. When Tiamat heard these words,
88. She was like one possessed, she lost her reason.
89. Tiamat uttered wild piercing cries,
90. she trembled and shook to her very foundations....
...
95. The Lord spread out his net and caught her,
96. and the evil wind that was behind him he let lose in her face.
97. As Tiamat opened her mouth to its full extent,
98. He drove in the evil wind, while as yet she had not shut her lips.
99. The terrible winds filled her body,...
...
101. He seized the spear and burst her body,
102. he severed her inward parts, he pierced (her) heart.303
“Afterwards, Marduk then captures Tiamat’s allies,304 recapturing the Tablets of Destiny from Kingu, and then returns to Tiamat to complete her destruction:
129. And the Lord stood upon Tiamat’s hinder parts,
130. and with his merciless club he smashed her skull.305
137. He split her up like a fish into two halves;...
...
143. And the Lord measured the structure of the Deep.306
“I believe these passages reveal a remarkably accurate sequence of what the destruction of a planet by a “scalar” weapon employing a longitudinal pulse or acoustic stress the medium itself would entail, right down to acoustic cavitation and large electrostatic displays, signatures of the use of such a weapon at extreme power. Let us note the sequence:
“(a) The “winds” are sent to “disturb” or destabilize the “inward parts” of Tiamat, the planetary core(w. 47-48);
“(b) “Lightning” is then unleashed on the already unstabilized planet from the “four winds”, i.e., from every direction(w. 49-50), or alternatively, at the tetrahedral “vertices”;
“(c) These “thunderbolts” are then apparently directed toward that destabilized core, suggesting that a sudden and extreme pulse is administered(vv. 58, 65, 75-78);
“(d) Tiamat responds with cries and trembles and shakes to “her very foundations”, i.e., experiences very severe earthquakes or acoustic cavitations throughout the planet, to its very core(w. 95, 97-97);
“(e) Tiamat appears unable to break resonance with the weapon (w. 97-98) as Marduk spreads the net and drives in the final “wind” or pulse(v. 98);
“(f) Tiamat reaches maximum instability in her planetary core and mantle (w. 98-99);
“(g) Marduk pierces the crust, and releases the enormous energies that have built up in the planet through the acoustic cavitations, resulting in a colossal explosion with the entire planet as its fuel, rather like bursting a balloon filled to extreme pressure.(w. 101-102, 137).
“All this implies the existence of a physics sophisticated enough to “measure the structure of the deep”(v. 143), and to weaponize it.307 This last statement is the reason why it was argued that the reference to “winds” in the case of Marduk’s weapon may indicate the types of longitudinal pressure-waves associated with Tesla-like scalar weapons.
“Another comment is perhaps warranted by this discussion. It is to be noted that Marduk “measures the structure of the Deep” after Tiamat’s destruction. This would have been necessary in terms of the type of physics being suggested, since the destruction of a planetary sized body in the approximate orbit of the asteroid belt would have required an adjustment to astronomical measurements of the solar system, since its previously existing celestial mechanics and geometry has been shattered.308 With the explosion of a planet giving rise to the cyclic return of comets and the “catastrophes” they bring, one has an explanation for catastrophism itself. The war and catastrophism are therefore intimately related, for on this view, the planetary wars of the “gods” is not a metaphor for the latter, but its very real origin and cause.
“A final comment is necessary about the Enuma Elish. The preceding excerpts would seem to contraindicate its being a creation account at all. Rather, it would seem that it is more an epic of “War Among the Gods”.309 That it came to be interpreted as a creation epic involving dualism and dialectics of opposites is perhaps due to the quick change from creation in the opening verses to its preoccupation with war for much of the remaining epic. In this sense, it is an interpretation that the legacy civilization - Sumer and Babylon - most likely placed upon it.310 But read from the paleophysics standpoint of interpretation being argued here and in my two previous books The Giza Death Star and Giza Death Star Deployed, it is first and foremost the account of a very ancient, very real, and quite interplanetary war within our own solar system, in a galaxy long, long, ago, and far, far away.”311
Marduk’s remarks in the Erra and Ishum are wholly in line with the outlines of the scalar physics found in the Enuma Elish cited above, referring, for example, to making the very heavens tremble, changing the positions of the stars, i.e., the planets of the solar system, even undoing the control of heaven and earth, a clear allusion to the broken celestial mechanics of the solar system after the explosion of Tiamat-Kyrpton (Krypton being another name for Tiamat, I believe).
And we can fix a date to this event, on the basis of Van Flandern’s revised Multiple Exploded Planet Hypothesis: 65,000,000 years ago. Marduk’s warning to Nergal in the Erra and Ishum is therefore perhaps obliquely referring to Van Flandern’s second event at 3,200,000 years ago, for it would seem to be suggested by the Erra and Ishum that Nergal is plotting a similar destruction. As we shall see later on in this chapter, there is other textual corroboration from Mesopotamia of Van Flandern’s two explosions at these two separate dates.
Returning to the Erra and Ishum, Marduk reveals to Nergal that he actually considered wiping out the survivors of his destruction of Tiamat and the resulting floods it caused elsewhere:
(As for) the people who were left from the Flood and saw the result of my action,
Should I raise my weapons and destroy the remnant?312
This is an important statement, for it implies once again that there were observers of the destruction of Tiamat, of the awesome weapons deployed, and of the celestial displays that resulted. Shades of Anthony Peratt!
Then follows an astonishing challenge from Marduk:
I changed the location of the mesu-tree (and of) the elmesu-stone, and did not reveal it to anyone.
Now, concerning that deed which you have said you will do, Warrior Erra,
Where is the mesu-wood, the flesh of the gods, the proper insignia of the King of the World...?
....
Where is the pure zaginduru-stone which [ ]threw away?“313
In the next chapter we shall examine the technological motivation for the war, the theft by Anzu of the Tablet of Destinies from Enlil. These, as we shall see there, are objects of technology that conveyed supreme power to their possessors. Here, Marduk appears to be referring to some similar objects, without which he hints that Nergal’s plan is doomed to failure.
Nergal then addresses Marduk at length, and though the text is decayed at this point, perhaps one may speculate that he is challenging him to produce the locations of various stones and objects of power,314 or perhaps, failing to learn their location, proceeds to persuade Marduk to join him in his course of action. This, it would seem from what follows, is a likely conjecture:
When Marduk heard this,
He made his voice heard and spoke to warrior Erra,
“I shall rise up from my dwelling, and the control of heaven and earth will be undone.
The waters will rise and go over the land,
Bright day will turn into darkness.
A storm will rise up and cover the stars of heaven.
An evil wind will blow, and the vision of people and living things will [be obscured (?)].315
Marduk, in other words, appears ready to join Nergal’s war and to inflict a second cosmic catastrophe. If this would seem to be stretching the t
ext, it is placed beyond doubt by Nergal’s speech which immediately follows, and Marduk’s reaction to it:
When Erra heard this,
He made his voice heard and spoke to prince Marduk,
“Prince Marduk, until you re-enter that house...
Until then shall I rule and keep firm control of heaven and earth.
I shall go up into heaven, and give orders to the Igigi;
I shall go down to the Absu and direct the Anunnaki
...
I shall set my fierce weapons over them.
At that house which you shall enter, prince Marduk,
I shall make Anu and Ellil like down like bulls, to right and left of your gate.“
Prince Marduk listened to him,
And the speech that Erra made was pleasing to him.316
Later on, after his success, Nergal is praised by Ishum in terms that imply his control over the very same scalar technology that Marduk used to destroy Tiamat:
Ishum made his voice heard and spoke to warrior Erra,
‘Warrior Erra, you hold the nose-rope of heaven,
You control the whole earth, and you rule the land.“317
Then follows a rather curious statement, one highly significant given what has already been said about the Nephilim and the use of hybrid species as workers and weapons; Ishum is speaking to Nergal:
“You have changed your divine nature and become like a human!”318
This vaguely suggests that Nergal was also intimately involved in the hybrid creation projects.
No examination of the Erra and Ishum legend would be complete, however, without citing the lengthy speeches where Ishum describes Nergal’s genocidal and monomaniacal character:
“You set up the weapons of kidinnu-men as an abomination to Anu and Dagan.
You have made their blood flow like water in the drains of public squares.319
