Kings before the Flood
Rule of the Gods (Anunnaki)
Kings in Heaven
About 433,578 - 271,578 BCE.
Alorus became king; he ruled for 162,000 years.
| Name | Length | Time |
| Alorus | 162,000 years | 433517 - 271517 BCE |
| Total 1 king; 162,000 years |
It’s uncertain who the counterpart is of Alorus, some scholars presume that he is the same as Adam in the Bible. In my opinion he was a God, maybe another name for An or Anu.
The First Dynasty on Earth
The following ancient kings ruled successively from the five original pre-flood cities: Eridug, Bad-Tibira, Larag, Zimbir and Curuppag.
Eridug (Eridu)
About 271,578 - 206,778 BCE.
Eridug, the first city mentioned, is the city of the water god Enki/Ea (one of the triad of Gods in the Sumerian pantheon, see chapter 9). It was probably situated in the extreme south of Mesopotamia near the sea or a lagoon. Probably Eri-dugga, "good city", at the mounds of Abu-Sharain but the exact location has never been found. According to some Sumerian traditions, Eridug was the first city built by man. It was the home of Adapa, the so-called Babylonian Adam.
After the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridug.In Eridug Alulim became king; he ruled for 28800 years.Alaljar ruled for 36000 years.2 kings; they ruled for 64800 years.They were called Kings from Heaven and they reigned for 64,800 years.Then Eridug fell and the kingship was taken to Bad-tibira.The two kings ruled a total of 64,800 years and then kingship was removed to Bad-tibira.
Bad-tibira
About 206778 - 98778 BCE
A city probably located on the Sumerian Plain roughly between Ur and Lagash. Dumuzid was it’s tutelary deity.
The exact location of the city has never been found.
In Bad-tibira, En-men-lu-ana ruled for 43200 years.En-men-gal-ana ruled for 28800 years.Dumuzid, the shepherd, ruled for 36000 years.3 kings; they ruled for 108000 years.Then Bad-tibira fell and the kingship was taken to Larag.The three kings ruled a total of 108,000 years and then kingship was removed to Larak.
Larag (Larak)
About 98778 - 68978 BCE.
The location of Larag has not been positively identified, but is believed to have been on the Tigris, east of Kic (Kish). The city was dedicated to Pabilsag, the god of trees. Even as Eridug and Bad-tibira
the exact location of the city has never been found.
In Larag, En-sipad-zid-ana ruled for 28800 years.1 king; ruled for 28800 years.Then Larag fell and the kingship was taken to Zimbir.In Larak, Ensipazianna ruled 28,800 years before kingship was removed to Sippar.
Zimbir (Sippar)
About 69978 - 48978 BCE.
Sippar’s tutelary deity was Utu (Semitic Shamash), the sun-god and the god of justice.
It is said that the secrets of divination were shown to a king of Sippar, also by divine revelation. Gods make their will, intentions and answers known to the people by supernatural means: numerous omens and signs that needed explanation. The exegesis of omens was seen as a discipline ('science’) to inquire the gods. It was an official institution, used by the king to collect information. No decision of any importance was taken without proper consulting. The sun god Utu is in particular connected with the discipline of divination. He is in a position to oversee everything, so also the future.
It was probably the most northern of the Sumerian cities But also as all cities before. The exact location has never been found.
In Zimbir, En-men-dur-ana became king; he ruled for 21000 years.1 king; ruled for 21000 years.Then Zimbir fell and the kingship was taken to Curuppag.In Sippar, Enmeduranna ruled 21,000 years and then Sippar was abandoned and its kingship removed to Shuruppak.
Curuppag (Shuruppak, Uruppak)
About 48978 - 30378 BCE
Curuppag is probably a city on the banks of the Euphrates, near modern Fara. The exact location has never been found either. The last king of Curuppag was the hero in the Flood story Ziusudra, the Sumerian Noah. He was a prince or noble of the town, possibly the son of Ubara-tutu. It is also possible that he did rule as king. Shuruppak was dedicated to Ansud, the goddess of grain. She was also known as Sud and as Enlil’s consortNinlil.
In Curuppag, Ubara-Tutu became king; he ruled for 18600 years.In Shuruppak, Ubartutu ruled 18,600 years and then The Flood came.1 king; ruled for 18600 years.In 5 cities 8 kings; they ruled for 241200 years.Eight kings in five cities ruled 241,200 years before The Flood swept over the land.Then the flood swept over.
The attended reader have already mentioned that ALL cities from before the Flood are still not found and never will be found because they are destroyed due to catastrophic occurrences shortly before and during the Flood.

These Kings represented the five cities before the Great Flood.
- Eridug or Eridu
- Bad-tibira
- Larag or Larak
- Zimbir or Sippar
- Curuppag or Shuruppak
While in Eridu Kings from Heaven reigned for 64,800 years before the Flood.Together they ruled for 432,000 years before the Flood (120 Sar)

| Total 8 kings | 5 cities | 241,200 years |
The Flood took place about 30,378 BCE.
Most scholars don’t think there is any similarity with the Bible because the Earth-fathers before the flood counted 10 rulers from Adam to Noah. What they overlooked is the fact that not All of them could have ruled because they succeeded their father after his dead. So one earth-father can be crossed out as ruler namely Lamech, the father of Noah because he died 5 years BEFORE Methuselah. With that in mind we have only to place 9 earth-fathers in the list of successors. Further it’s uncertain that Enoch ruled himself because he disappeared during the rule time of Seth. So finally we have only to count 8 rules before the flood. You see that alsothe Bible counts at last also 8 rules and not 10 as most scholars think.
When we look at the above table we can try if there is a similarity with the Earth-fathers in the Bible.
Sumerian king list in acc. to the Bible
| King list | King list | Bible | Bible |
| Alulim | 28,800 years | Seth | 112 years |
| Alaljar | 36,000 years | Enos | 98 years |
| En-men-lu-ana | 43,200 years | Cainan | 95 years |
| En-men-gal-ana | 28,800 years | Mahalaleel | 55 years |
| Dumuzid | 36,000 years | Yared | 132 years |
| En-sipad-zid-ana | 28,800 years | Enoch | 0 years |
| En-men-dur-ana | 21,000 years | Methuselah | 234 years |
| Ubara-Tutu | 18,600 years | Lamech | 0 years |
| Total | 241,200 years | 726 years |
As you can see there is no logical similarity between the king list and the Bible but that thus not prove that some or all of the pre-diluvium kings can be identified with the Earth-fathers. The timeline used in the Bible is often discussed as pure fiction too.
My conclusion is that the first 8 kings in the Sumerian king list can’t be identified with the Earth-fathers from Adam to Noah.
Map of the Sumerian Cities and possible locations of the Antediluvian cities
After the flood the Gods came back to Earth and build a "new" home for themselves called:
Nippur
It is possible that the place where Nippur was build was the location of the Antediluvian city of Zimbir. Nippur was the religious capital of Sumer and holy for the Sumerians, being the home of the supreme god Enlil on Earth. Some of the believers in an archaic democracy think that Nippur was a sort of "federal capital" with delegates from every city going there to elect a king in times of war. The house of An was called "Duranki", the "temple" of Enlil was called "E-kur". In later chapter about Nibiru I will explain more details about the so named "E-kur"As long as the Gods were on Earth, Nippur was a forbidden zone for Humans.
Go Back
Kings after the Flood
The Lesser Gods (Igigi) period
After the flood had swept over, and the kingship had descended from heaven, the kingship was in Kic.
After The Flood, kingship was handed down from Heaven a second time, this time to the city of Kish which became the seat of kingship
The First Dynasty of Kic
About 30378 - 5868 BCE.
Kic or Kish is most likely the same as Nibru, the city mentioned in a lot of Sumerian tablets it is also possible that Nibru and Nippur are the same city but that is not proven yet.
Kish was the first city to gain control "after the deluge" gaining overlord ship over all of Sumer. Sumer was unified in name, with all the city-states recognizing Kish as their overlord, in words if not in deeds. In fact, each city was independent and usually merely paid Kish lip service and the occasional tribute. Later kings used the title "King of Kish" to legitimize their rule. King of Kish came to mean imperial control or overlord ship. The King of Kish seems to have been given the control of Nippur by default. This looks not so strange as we will see later.
The tutelary deity of Kish was Zababa, the warrior god, another name for Ninurta (Ningirsu) (Ninurta was the God Yahweh in the Bible and the God who destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah in later times).
All the kings of the period from the flood to historical age ruled in Kish. About half of them have Semitic names, meaning that Semites were established in Sumer, or at least the northern part, even at this ancient date and that not all interaction between the two groups was hostile. There is reason to believe that the kings were historical.
In Kic, Jucur Gaur became king; he ruled for 1200 years.Kullassina-bel Gulla-Nidaba-annapad ruled for 960 years.Nanjiclicma Palakinatim ruled for 6700 900 years.En-tarah-ana ruled for Nangishkushma 420 670 years ..., 3 months, and 3 1/2 days.Babum Bahina ruled for 300 years.Puannum Buanum ruled for 840 years.Kalibum Kalibum ruled for 960 years.Kalumum Galumum ruled for 840 years.Zuqaqip Zukakip ruled for 900 years.Atab ruled for 600 years.Macda Mashda, the son of Atab, ruled for 840 years.Arwium Arurim, the son of Macda, ruled for 720 years.Etana, the shepherd, who ascended to heaven and consolidated all the foreign countries, became king; he ruled for 1500 1560 years.Balih, the son of Etana, ruled for 400 years.En-me-nuna Enmenunna ruled for 660 years.Melem-Kic Melam-Kish, the son of En-me-nuna, ruled for 900 years.1560 are the years of the dynasty of En-me-nunaBarsal-nuna Barsalnunna, the son of En-me-nuna, ruled for 1200 years.Zamug Meszamug, the son of Barsal-nuna, ruled for 140 years.Tizqar Tizkar, the son of Zamug, ruled for 305 years.Ilcu Ilku, ruled for 900 years.ltasadum ruled for 1200 years.The last two God kings of Kic ruled in the same time as the First Dynasty of Unug (Uruk), the half Gods. They were :En-men-barage-si Enmebaraggesi, who made the land of Elam submit, became king; he ruled for 900 years.Aga Agga, the son of En-men-barage-si, ruled for 625 years.En-men-barage-si was captured by Dumuzid the fisherman, the king of Kuara *
* We can make a calculation of the dates of all kings above because we know when Gilgamesh ( 6105-5979 BCE) lived (see the story later).
When we read The history of Tummal we have proof that En-men-barage-si, the king, built the Iri-nanam in Enlil’s temple.
Aga, son of En-me-barage-si, made the Tummal flourish and brought Ninlil (the spouse of Enlil) into the Tummal. Then the Tummal fell into ruins for the first time (War between the Gods and Half-Gods).
When we read the story of Gilgamesh and Aga we have proof that Aga and Gilgamesh lived at the same time because Aga came from Kic to Gilgamesh at Unug to ask him to finish digging wells together. Gilgamesh first refuse and made war with Aga. Gilgamesh is victorious but set Aga free to go back to Kic.
23 kings they ruled for 24510 years, 3 months, and 3 1/2 days.Then Kic was defeated and the kingship was taken to E-ana.All told, twenty-three kings ruled a total of 24,510 years, 3 months and 3½ days before Kish was defeated in battle and its kingship carried off to Eanna.
The attended reader have already noticed that both king list differs in the rule time of some kings but both lists have the same total time span of the Dynasty.
All above Kings were Gods and Children of Gods
Because of the fights between the Gods and the Half-Gods on Earth at that period the Gods decided to retrieve in the background and called the Gods on Earth back to E-ana, the home base of the Gods. (E-ana was by the Sumerians called "the house of the Gods", lowered down from heaven, a "cloudbank" resting on the earth).
This so named "cloudbank" was in my theory a space shuttle, a spaceship with as home base the mother ship or planet "Nibiru"
The Gods had afterwards a long time a control function on the Earthly half-Gods and their children. This is the period in which religion by Humans was born.

| Total: 23 kings; 24,510 years |
The period of the Half-Gods
in the Bible mentioned the Children of God
The First Dynasty of Unug (Uruk)
About 6850 - 4561 BCE
In my opinion was Unug build by mission of the Gods to separate the Godly city of Kic from their offspring with Humans and the Sons of Gods.
The Gods of Kic and their offspring dwelled there until they finally were defeated by Sargon I in 2,461 BCE.
Scholars believe that Unug originally was named E-ana. This misunderstanding was in my opinion clear because the temple in Unug, dedicated to An, had the same name.
The first king of Unug (Mec-ki-aj-gacer) was the builder of the city. Enmerkar, his son, build a wall around the city of Unug in the time there were several Wars between the Gods and the Sons of Gods. Maybe that’s the reason why Uruk had two patron deities, the heaven god An and the fertility goddess Inanna (Ishtar).
The attended reader could have seen already that the first dynasty of Unug starts from the house of the Gods "E-ana".
Is it possible that Mec-ki-aj-gacer was chosen by the Gods to build a city on Earth again (after the War of the Gods) to separate the Gods in Kic from the Half-Gods and the Children of God and Men ?.
Could it be possible that he is the same as the Biblical Enoch?. If this is the truth then Utu, the Sun God, must be the same as the father of Enoch, namely Yared and Enmerkar must be the same as Methuselah.
In that case the writers of The Bible mixed up the names of the Earth-fathers because Noah lived long before Mec-ki-aj-gacer, the Enoch of the Bible. It is far from proven but it is still a possibility.
Enmerkar, the son of Mec-ki-aj-gacer, the king of Unug, who built Unug, became king; he ruled for 420 years.
Aratta was a city, city-state, or country with which Sumerians had close trade and religious ties. Its location is not known (probably Armenia, Iran or India but in my opinion most likely Harappa in India.
Lugalbanda, the shepherd, ruled for 1200 years.
In my opinion was Lugalbanda not a King of the first dynasty of Unug because the Kinglist describes clearly that he was Lord of Kulaba.
Dumuzid, the fisherman, whose city was Kuara, ruled for 100 years,He captured En-men-barage-si single-handed.
Even as Lugalbanda was Dumuzid not a King of the first dynasty of Unug but King of Kuara (probably a city nearby or in Iran or India, In my opinion the city was Mohenjo-daro, the twin city of Harappa, in the Indus valley.
Dumuzid captured En-men-barage-si, the 22nd Godly King of the first Dynasty of Kic (Kish), so he was strong enough to capture a God, that’s prove that he was at least a half-God himself. Because of that we know the date when En-men-barage-si lived, namely on about 6200 BCE.
Another proof of the time in which they lived, Gilgamesh made war with Aga, the son of En-men-barage-si, so they must have lived at the same time. Further is here another prove that at that time there was struggle (War) between the Gods and the Sons of God.
Gilgamesh became king of Unug about 6105 BCE.
Gilgamec, whose father was a phantom, the lord of Kulaba, ruled for 126 years.
In the poems of Gilgamesh is spoken that he was 2/3 God and 1/3 Human, he was the son of the Goddess Ninsun and Lugalbanda (a son of the Gods himself).
In accordance to the timeline of Scholars Gilgamesh lived about 2700 BCE, a hole of about 3,400 years with the timeline of the Sumerian King list. For some Scholars the time stood still for about 3,400 years because they place the rule of these four Kings on about 2650 BCE. A strange phenomenon is also that, in the timetable of most Scholars, Gilgamec (about 2650 BCE) should be nearly a time mate of Sargon I (2450 BCE, the founder of the dynasty of Agade (Akkad)), can you belief that, I don’t and there is enough proof that it wasn’t.
Ur-Nungal, the son of Gilgamec, ruled for 30 years.Udul-kalama, the son of Ur-Nungal ruled for 15 years.La-ba-cum Labasher ruled for 9 years.En-nun-tarah-ana Ennundaranna ruled for 8 years.Mec-he Meshede, the smith, ruled for 36 years.Melem-ana ruled for 6 years.Lugal-kitun (?) Lugalkidul ruled for 36 years.12 kings; they ruled for 2310 years.Then Unug was defeated and the kingship was taken to Urim.All told, twelve kings ruled a total of 2,310 years in Uruk before Uruk was defeated in battle and its kingship carried off to Ur.
Table of the first dynasty of Unug
| Name | Length | Time |
| Mec-ki-aj-gacir, who build Unug | 325 | 6850 - 6525 BCE |
| Enmerkar | 420 | 6525 - 6105 BCE |
| Lugalbanda (the shepherd), Lord of Kulaba * | 1,200 | about 6500 BCE |
| Dumuzid (the fisherman), King of Kuara * | 100 | about 6200 BCE |
| Gilgamec lord of Unug | 126 | 6105 - 5979 BCE |
| Ur-lungal | 30 | 5979 - 5949 BCE |
| Udul-kalama | 15 | 5949 - 5934 BCE |
| La-ba’cum | 9 | 5934 - 5925 BCE |
| En-nun-tarah-ana | 8 | 5925 - 5917 BCE |
| Mec-he (the smith) | 36 | 5917 - 5881 BCE |
| Melem-anna | 900 | 5881 - 4981 BCE |
| Lugal-kitun | 420 | 4981 - 4561 BCE |
| Total: 12 kings; 2,310 years |
* see the notes by the explanation of the kings above. Even when Lugalbanda and Dumuzid belonged to the dynasty of that will not have any impact on the timeline and the arguments as mentioned above because the dynasty of Kic (the Godly dynasty) existed together with most other dynasties in Sumer.
