Our Reptilian Past, page 1

Spines,

According to the information, the end of Sumer and the beginning of Akkadia, was marked by a massive flood that destroyed the Sumerian civ. The argument stems from whether this was a localized flood (see the Black Sea Flood) or a global flood (see biblical flood and the akkadian Enuma Elish), but either way, it marked the end of Sumer and the beginning of Akkadia. This is borne out by a flood layer of silt and so forth, between sumerian artifacts and akkadian ones.

Here's a National Geographic write up on the Black Sea Flood:
www.nationalgeographic.com...

Anyway, working with the numbers given for the date of the flood, the end of Sumer and beginning of Akkadia, is somewhere between 4000 BC and 3000 BC. And I quote:

"In a series of expeditions, a team of marine archeologists led by Robert Ballard identified what appeared to be ancient shorelines, freshwater snail shells, drowned river valleys, tool-worked timbers, and man-made structures in roughly 300 feet (100 m) of water off the Black Sea coast of modern Turkey. Radiocarbon dating of freshwater mollusk remains indicated an age of about 7,000 years."

The date varies in officialdom from 8000 BCE to 4000 BC. I'm settling in the middle somewhere with 3000 BC-ish, due to the beginning of the Akkadian era which marked the end of Sumer, which was devastated, even according to their ancient texts, by a massive flood. Akkadia is said to begin around 2800 BC, give or a take a couple hundred years. It rises in prominence at the same pace as Egypt, so that by the time of Babylon, they appear to be equally yoked in various areas related to reading, writing and arthimetic, and are making familial exchanges (their kids marrying each other for peace treaties and so on).

The artforms from Sumer would by, necessity, predate 3000 BC in my estimation, and anything following that would be related to post flood Akkadia. Here's an example that illustrates my point:

Eridu was a Sumerian city. According to later texts, it was the throne of Enki. On this website, which houses pictures of items from the Baghdad museum that are either missing or have been returned, the following is the only item from Eridu that depicts a being of any kind:

According to the texts of the akkadians, the prior civ that was destroyed by the flood, also marked the end of the occupation of many of the gods related to it. This is defined most succintly in the Book of Enoch, a much later creation, but with equally interesting data:

And references in the bible such as Genesis 6:
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

The word giant comes from the word naphal "to fall" or "fallen ones".

1) to fall, lie, be cast down, fail

a) (Qal)

1) to fall

2) to fall (of violent death)

3) to fall prostrate, prostrate oneself before

4) to fall upon, attack, desert, fall away to , go away to, fall into the hand of

5) to fall short, fail, fall out, turn out, result

6) to settle, waste away, be offered, be inferior to

7) to lie, lie prostrate

b) (Hiphil)

1) to cause to fall, fell, throw down, knock out, lay prostrate

2) to overthrow

3) to make the lot fall, assign by lot, apportion by lot

4) to let drop, cause to fail (fig.)

5) to cause to fall

c) (Hithpael)

1) to throw or prostrate oneself, throw oneself upon

2) to lie prostrate, prostrate oneself

d) (Pilel) to fall

This is clearly a reference to fallen angels (called mighty ones in this particular instance, to denote they were angelic). The fallen part is obviously in regards to their decision to disobey the prime directive if you will, and interfer with the developement of man, as described in Enoch:

I Enoch II:
7 And they 3 became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

10 [...]
And the Lord said unto Michael: 'Go, bind Semjâzâ and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. And when their sonshave slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations. And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth' shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore.

The imprisonment is spoken of in the bible here:
Jude 1:6
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

Enki is thought by many to parallel the biblical Satan. This is especially obvious in that he is not only called the "great dragon" in their ancient texts:
Enki and the World Order

But because he is known as the crafty god, the tricky god, and he has an ongoing battle with his "brother" Enlil (who some believe is the biblical Jehovah). He is in the Garden of Eden or Edin, and creates monsters, severly handicapped people that he assigns various roles of servitude, and animorphs, human chimeras, you name it. The guy was a mad scientist sort of figure. It's one of the reasons the book of Enoch says that the Watchers, the fallen angelic figures who left their first estate, "Sinned against animals" and also one of the reasons animals were no longer edible, as their genome had been so polluted, they weren't fit for consumption.
