Oh, what a wonderful question.
Jenna MatlinGUEST
21:04
When I built this, I was thinking about the descent of Inanna slash Ishtar and how in order for her to finally meet her sister, Ereshkigal, at the bottom of the underworld, she had to remove every item of clothing, right, until she was just herself.
Jenna MatlinGUEST
21:21
And I felt that was a beautiful way to enact an initiatory journey for I would say almost all of them were very hard and resisted me.
Jenna MatlinGUEST
21:31
And there was only one exception where the chapter was like the easiest chapter.

32:02
Enki, called Ea by the later Akkadians, was the god of wisdom, fresh water, and magic, a figure of enormous warmth and cunning, who frequently intervened on behalf of humanity when the more severe gods threatened destruction.
speaker_0NARRATOR
32:18
And Inanna, later known as Ishtar, was perhaps the most vivid personality in the entire pantheon, goddess of love and war simultaneously, fierce and beautiful and terrifyingly powerful, whose myths crackle with an energy that reads as thoroughly alive even now.
speaker_0NARRATOR
32:37
These were not remote deities, they were understood to be the literal owners of the cities they patronized.
speaker_0NARRATOR
32:44
Uruk belonged to Inanna, Nippur to Enyel, Eridu to Enki.
speaker_0NARRATOR
32:51
Each city was, in theological terms, the estate of its patron god.
speaker_0NARRATOR
32:57
The land worked on the gods' behalf, the people living as the gods' dependent laborers.
Jamie HanshawGUEST
34:34
And the priest class served the gods, and the people served the priest class, so it was a very stratified culture.
Jamie HanshawGUEST
34:42
And one of the most interesting goddesses of this time was Inanna, and she was a gender-bending goddess.
Jamie HanshawGUEST
34:51
So she was worshipped by cross-dressing, by ritual public sex, which was the legitimacy of the kingship that ruled over these cities.
Jamie HanshawGUEST
35:04
They would have festivals called Akitu festivals where the king would copulate with the goddess in public and they would worship in this way.
Jamie HanshawGUEST
35:38
Okay.
Jamie HanshawGUEST
35:39
So let's see.
Jamie HanshawGUEST
35:42
Talking about Inanna and Babylon.
Jamie HanshawGUEST
35:44
So Sumer also was one of these cities.
Indigo AngelGUEST

And so somehow, you know, they're using, you know, planetary tunneling technology to access and that somehow these intelligence forces knew that SS-10 was a Venus node.
Indigo AngelGUEST
13:28
Hence why, you know, you have this connection to ancient Uruk, the Akkadians, the Sumerians, and also Inanna, which ultimately later became Ishtar, which ultimately later was that connection to Venus.
Indigo AngelGUEST
13:42
And so I think that it was temple desecration, some sort of temple attack that they did, you know, through these devices and tunneling technologies.
Indigo AngelGUEST
13:52
And ultimately, it was the first Stargate hijack that ever occurred on this Earth or on this planet.
Indigo AngelGUEST
14:07
I think that SS10 was like the original location at which Draco somehow came through.
Indigo AngelGUEST
14:12
And we know that this is through the Anunnaki.
Indigo AngelGUEST
14:15
I'm not going to sit here and say that I know the exact events of when that specifically occurred, but I really feel like it has something to do with the Inanna temples and, you know, the first civilization of humanity, according to the Sumerian civilization.
Indigo AngelGUEST
14:29
Yeah.
Indigo AngelGUEST
13:02
And so somehow, you know, they're using, you know, planetary tunneling technology to access and that somehow these intelligence forces knew that SS-10 was a Venus node.

JamesHOST
34:43
The name Enki-mi itself is significant in the way the chronology reads it because the ME in Sumerian tradition are objects or powers connected with civilization, authority, and specialized knowledge.
JamesHOST
34:57
In one famous myth, Inanna obtains the ME from Enki and takes them to Uruk, carrying with her the powers associated with kingship, crafts, priesthood, music, and other aspects of civilized life.
JamesHOST
35:10
Sitchin and later writers took that much more literally and imagined the ME as encoded information devices, something closer to compact technological packages than abstract divine qualities.
JamesHOST
35:22
So Enki-mi becomes, in that reading, the human who is specifically taught the higher knowledge.

1 HR 2 MINS LATER

JamesHOST
97:16
Horus later defeats Seth and brings him before the council, where the defeated rival is permitted to live, but loses his claim.
JamesHOST
97:25
And then another family dispute explodes only a few centuries later.
JamesHOST
97:29
Around 8670 BC, Dumuzi, Enki's youngest son, becomes involved with Inanna, granddaughter of Enlil.
JamesHOST
97:38
Their union could have joined the two rival Anunnaki houses, and that made the possible heir politically explosive.
ErinHOST
1:41
For Venus, this feels especially significant after the journey we followed through October.
ErinHOST
1:47
We use the Sumerian myth of Inanna's descent into the underworld as a way of understanding Venus's disappearance from the evening sky, her retrograde Kazemi, and her eventual return to Libra.
ErinHOST
2:00
As November begins, Venus is back in her own domicile of Libra and re-emerging from the sun's beams as a morning star.
ErinHOST
2:09
In the language of the myth, Inanna has emerged from the underworld and is returning to the heavens.
ErinHOST
2:16
This heliacal rising is what ancient astrologers called phasis, meaning an appearance or emergence.
ErinHOST
2:24
The planet becomes visible again after a period of invisibility, and traditionally this was considered significant, an omen that speaks.

17 MINS LATER

ErinHOST
19:15
And remarkably, Venus stations direct on the very same day at 22 degrees of Libra.
ErinHOST
19:22
After 40 days of retrograde motion, Venus has completed the backward portion of her journey as well.

The boundary parallels every threshold in the series.
speaker_0NARRATOR
6:50
The gates of Kor, the seven gates of Inanna's descent, the river Giglamesh crossed on his living journey, the waters of death, the limit beyond which the Orphic soul must choose its spring.
speaker_0NARRATOR
7:02
The threshold is the threshold regardless of tradition and regardless of century.
speaker_0NARRATOR
7:08
The Aftermath The transformation of the relationship to death, the dissolution of fear, the certainty that something continues, parallels the testimony of the Eleusinian initiates, the Orphic practitioners, the Tibetan masters, and the Sufi poets.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
3:22
Just to illustrate this, check out this Neo-Babylonian text.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
3:25
records a widow during a famine dedicating her two sons to a temple of the Lady of Uruk, probably the goddess Ishtar, so that the temple would support them.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
3:33
Her statement says, my husband has died and there is famine in the land.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
3:38
She says she has marked her sons with the temple's star and gave them to the goddess.
Indigo AngelGUEST
