The land of E-RE (MU) |
5. |
Had become fat with grace |
6. |
Wonders from all the world |
7. |
Clothes and peace |
8. |
Civilized men |
9. |
Long lost the art of the hunter |
10. |
become the crafty trader |
|
|
45. |
|
|
|
1. |
Since the time of the three BRID |
2. |
fame had spread across the tribes |
3. |
each embracing them as their own |
4. |
A thirst for the wisdom |
5. |
of the Isle of Mu |
6. |
And the strength of women |
7. |
Without respite |
8. |
The swords of Brid |
9. |
Did each King seek |
10. |
And powerof sacred gold |
11. |
fashioned by priestly elders |
12. |
So that the tribe of ADAM |
13. |
had fractured become |
14. |
No longer the bravest |
15. |
nor fiercest reigned |
16. |
But women of crafty disposition |
|
|
46. |
|
|
|
1. |
In this age |
2. |
women did rule strong |
3. |
And men grew distracted |
4. |
in the way of the gods |
5. |
An ancient line of Queens raised |
6. |
From the time |
7. |
of the triple goddesses |
|
|
47. |
|
|
|
1. |
The Gods had seen |
2. |
what men had become |
3. |
No rule no law |
4. |
But pleasure and corrupt |
5. |
Without restraint |
6. |
DAGAN and (H)ADAD did consort |
7. |
Over the lands |
8. |
Rain and warmth |
9. |
unending |
10. |
Within three Great Cycles of CYBELE |
11. |
From the dawning |
12. |
of the new Great Age of the Hound |
13. |
the land became like bog |
14. |
So deep and thick |
15. |
it swallowed many a man |
16. |
and tree |
|
|
48. |
|
|
|
1. |
But crafty Queens |
2. |
Did not head the gods |
3. |
And took to boats |
4. |
and far places |
5. |
Free from the rains and bog |
6. |
To Islands in the inland sea |
7. |
they came |
8. |
And grew their trade and power |
9. |
New gods of earth |
10. |
and passions they formed |
11. |
Goddesses of love and hate |
12. |
Goddesses of war and fire |
13. |
The male gods of old no more |
|
|
49. |
|
|
|
1. |
To the great lands of the Amratians |
2. |
The Queens of E-RE (MU) did trade |
3. |
Their city of Nut, the goddess of sky |
4. |
And further north |
5. |
along the great Serpent river |
6. |
Did the Maadi worship the powerful Queens |
7. |
As MA-AT goddess of truth and law |
8. |
To the lands of the East |
9. |
Of the people of UR-UK |
10. |
The great goddess EL-NANA (INAANA) |
11. |
Daughter of the moon |
12. |
Goddess of love, fertility and war |
13. |
The Queens of MU were worshipped |
|
|
50. |
|
|
|
1. |
Of one great in age and knowledge of men |
2. |
Was the Queen MA-EVE (MAB) |
3. |
Who ruled the land |
4. |
Four hundred cycles of the AUN (Shining One) |
5. |
From the Dawn of the new Great Age of the Hound |
6. |
It was Queen MA-EVE that banished |
7. |
the priests and ancient wisdom of the cuilleain |
8. |
Till time forgotten their ways |
9. |
To the hills most sacred they were |
10. |
Exiled from the sacred land of ADAMs rest |
11. |
By the river BOY(NE). |
|
|
51. |
|
|
|
1. |
Only sons then born to MA-EVE |
2. |
ARU, the eldest and SETU |
3. |
Cursed by the gods |
4. |
No daughter to rule |
5. |
For in those days |
6. |
No more did men hold spear |
7. |
Nor hunt on MU |
8. |
Upon penalty of death |
9. |
The first born of the Queen |
10. |
ARU the strong |
11. |
Is favoured a while |
12. |
To learn the way of the ancients |
13. |
The priests of the cuilleain |
14. |
SETU, The second born |
15. |
displeases the Queen |
16. |
But SETU is crafty in feminine strength |
17. |
And survives the wrath |
18. |
of the warrior Queen. |
|
|
52. |
|
|
|
1. |
The Queen did summons the Head Priest |
2. |
To divine upon what curse |
3. |
She had no female child? |
4. |
The priest consult the sacred grove |
5. |
Had A vision of some clarity |
6. |
He returned And did say to the great Queen |
7. |
If she be a goddess |
8. |
Then she must find a worthy mate |
9. |
In the ways of the Brids |
10. |
A king of great note. |
|
|
53. |
|
|
|
1. |
But crafty Mab did have a plan |
2. |
To trick the gods |
3. |
And not leave the throne |
4. |
She commanded |
5. |
her Most fearsome female warrior guard |
6. |
To travel across the sea |
7. |
And return with hostages, |
8. |
kings worthy |
9. |
Of producing a warrior Queen |
10. |
The most skilled women warriors |
11. |
guards of the ancients |
12. |
Did sail across to land |
13. |
in the south and east |
14. |
To Battle armies one hundred to one |
15. |
No match were any man or beast |
16. |
To these deadly sirens |
17. |
To capture five |
18. |
Of the greatest kings |
19. |
of the ancient tribes of man |
20. |
Five kings captured |
21. |
Rivers of blood |
22. |
For a Queen's desire |
|
|
54. |
|
|
|
1. |
Upon their return the Queen did consort |
2. |
With each hostage King |
3. |
The first was from the land of the Sahar |
4. |
Fertile plains of vast wealth and plenty |
5. |
But no seed did fall |
6. |
within three cycles of YAH (the Gleaming One). |
7. |
The second (King) was from the land of Amratians |
8. |
But no seed did fall |
9. |
within the three cycle of YAH. |
10. |
The Third (King) was from the land of Uruk |
11. |
Again with no seed did fall the Queen. |
12. |
The fourth (King) was from the land of the bull mountains |
13. |
And with seed she took hold |
14. |
But could not keep. |
15. |
The Queen did summons the head priest |
16. |
Consult the gods as to why |
17. |
She did honor their pledge |
18. |
And find men worthy |
19. |
But no Queen heir |
20. |
Did she bear |
21. |
The Priest, wary his word might be his doom |
22. |
Did remind the Queen |
23. |
but one King remained. |
24. |
And so the Queen did consort with the fifth King, |
25. |
A great King |
26. |
from the Kingdom of Arabu (Arabia) |
27. |
A place of rich and fertile forest and lands |
28. |
And precious stones |
29. |
Within two cycles of the Gleaming One |
30. |
the Queen did proclaim herself in seed. |
31. |
Rejoicing, she did command the Kings returned |
32. |
By the skilled female warriors. |
|
|
55. |
|
|
|
1. |
By the ninth cycle Queen MAB |
2. |
Did give birth |
3. |
But not to a Queen Heir |
4. |
But to a third son |
5. |
In birth rage |
6. |
she did curse all the gods |
7. |
And seized the child |
8. |
Tearing its limbs apart |
9. |
and eating its flesh |
10. |
Upon seeing his mother and Queen |
11. |
SETU did seize the Queens sword |
12. |
And cleave his genitals |
13. |
onto the floor |
14. |
The enraged Queen MAB |
15. |
upon seeing his act |
16. |
Did proclaim |
17. |
Not upon the gods |
18. |
But blood of men |
19. |
I have found my Queen heir! |
20. |
From this point |
21. |
SETU shall be my successor. |
|
|
56. |
|
|
|
1. |
The Queen then did order |
2. |
her Women warriors |
3. |
to find the priests of the cuilleain |
4. |
And kill them all |
5. |
But ARU upon hearing what had transpired |
6. |
Did rush ahead to warn them |
7. |
When the captain of the women warriors told the Queen |
8. |
She did curse the name of ARU |
9. |
That from this moment |
10. |
he shall be known as ARYO |
11. |
Meaning stranger in his own land |
12. |
And none shall give him aid |
13. |
Upon death |
14. |
She did order one thousand men |
15. |
to be slaughtered like cattle |
16. |
Bathing in their blood |
17. |
And upon each year |
18. |
a new born child |
19. |
To be slaughtered |
20. |
And eaten |
21. |
Upon the altars of the ancient gods |
22. |
As curse to their (the gods) treachery. |
23. |
And in honor of ancestor MOT |
24. |
The God of the underworld and shadows |
|
|
57. |
|
|
|
1. |
For saving the priests |
2. |
And honoring the Gods |
3. |
The cuilleain did train ARYO |
4. |
In the way of war and battle |
5. |
in the way of wise counsel |
6. |
And the smiths of the priests |
7. |
Did fashion a great sword |
8. |
Greater than any in all the ages |
9. |
For this sword was blessed by the gods |
10. |
And this sword was made by living gods |
11. |
A sword for a king of kings |
|
|
58. |
|
|
|
1. |
Upon his twentieth year |
2. |
ARYO did leave hiding in the south of the Isle |
3. |
With a band of priests |
4. |
to the eastern lands |
5. |
Queen MAB had sent word |
6. |
to each King |
7. |
In each land |
8. |
That but one who gives aid to Aryo |
9. |
shall be slaughtered |
10. |
And so Aryo found no rest |
11. |
Nor quarter |
12. |
Battle after battle, |
13. |
Land after land he came |
14. |
In peace but to find only war |
15. |
The ranks of his camp grew in number |
16. |
Till no army, not even the great woman warriors of MAB |
17. |
Could match their fighting skill |
18. |
They became known as the Aryan |
19. |
Strangers from their own lands |
20. |
But conquerers of all |
|
|
59. |
|
|
|
1. |
Queen MAB upon hearing |
2. |
of the campaigns of ARYO |
3. |
did send SETU and her woman army |
4. |
to seize him |
5. |
She made SETU swear and oath |
6. |
That ARYO not be harmed |
7. |
For in her dark heart |
8. |
A pinch of honor |
9. |
At the bravery and blood spilled by Aryo |
10. |
But SETU grieved at her change of heart |
11. |
Did hatch his own plan for his brother's doom |
12. |
He did send him a sword of Brid |
13. |
The sword of Queens |
14. |
That his mother was greatly ill |
15. |
And that he had earned his birthright |
16. |
ARYO agreed to meet SETU |
17. |
under great cedars |
18. |
in the land of the while cliffs |
19. |
Upon the Eastern Gulf of the Inland Sea |
20. |
But SETU did trick his brother |
21. |
And did break his solemn oath to a sacred Queen |
22. |
And did thrust a secret blade into his brother. |
23. |
ARYO, did cleave SETU |
24. |
With one stroke of his sword |
25. |
That the head of SETU |
26. |
did fly from his body and over the cliff |
27. |
To never be found |
28. |
But before ARYO gave up the ghost |
29. |
To his captain ARYO did give his sword |
30. |
And made him swear |
31. |
To bury him at this place of his doom |
32. |
For this was now his home |
33. |
And Upon this place |
34. |
To make a great city |
35. |
Of knowledge and wisdom |
36. |
For all the world |
37. |
The captain did so swear |
38. |
And ARYO did name him AB-RA-MU |
|
|
60. |
|
|
|
1. |
In honor of ARYO, AB-RA-MU did found a city |
2. |
by the white rocks and the cedar forest |
3. |
the resting place of his King |
4. |
And did name it Ebla |
5. |
No greater city of ancient times |
6. |
Did wisdom shine more |
7. |
Than the great towers of Ebla |
|
|
61. |
|
|
|
1. |
Upon hearing of the death of her sons |
2. |
The treachery of SETU |
3. |
She did tear her clothes |
4. |
And wail through empty rooms |
5. |
She summonsed the head priest |
6. |
of the cuilleain |
7. |
and pledged he bind a high curse |
8. |
that her son SET shall never rest |
9. |
to be cast out, |
10. |
forever in the underworld |
11. |
And with the curse done |
12. |
Queen MA-EVE (MAB) did take her own ancient sword |
13. |
and cut open her breast. |
14. |
Thus the last of the Great Queens |
15. |
The goddesses of the ancients was no more. |
