Stargates are real, page 33

somewhere around here (not sure it's in this thread), i developed another theory relating to Enlil's stargate. The theory basically states that Enki's stargate was closed during the Tower of Babel fiasco, and that Nimrod (Osiris) and his entourage tried to salvage the situation by loading Enlil's gate on a boat at Nippur, sailing it down the river, doing their little trek via water route over to Egypt, etc etc, and eventually settling at Abydos, where the "Osirieon" Abzu was built to house the gate. When Nimrod/Osiris died, as described in part on the Shabaka Stone, his body was sent through the Osirieon Abzu gate and the entire thing was buried and forgotten. It stayhidden there until Seti I found the OSirieon while excavating for his own temple. Inspired by the find but not knowing how it worked, he had his scribes pen the Book of the Gates, which was the first time it was seen in egyptian history. He then had them carve the entirety of it on his alabaster sarcophagus, which was placed in his burial chamber in the Valley of the Kings.

If this theory is correct, there's a gate out there, somewhere, that has nothing to do with the Eridu gate (Enki's gate at Babel) . There's several possibilities of where it might have gone, if indeed it was ever there:

1. Isis/Inana had it moved following the death of Osiris
2. It's still there, in the Osirieon, buried under the structure
3. Seti I had it moved to his tomb in the Valley of the Kings and it either was a) buried in that last tunnel that descends below the water table past his sarcophagus, or b) was found when Seti I's tomb was discovered and Giovanni Battista Belzoni or Henry Salt made off with it.
4. Someone else found it either before Seti I, or after Seti I (but prior to Belzoni/Salt) and they made off with it.
5. Someone else found it after Belzoni/Salt, in that descending corridor that goes below the water table, past Seti I's sarcophagus, and made off with it. (this corridor, although it goes below the water table, has hieroglyphs that continue down into the water, however the tunnel, according to officialdom, has not been fully excavated),
6. Someone else found it in the Osirieon, sometime after Seti I. Possible suspects could be any one of several people who discovered and rediscovered the Osirieon over the years (it's been rediscovered at least 3 times): either by Strabo, Flinders Petrie and Margaret Murray, or Henry Frankfort.
