>>19984649There is a city named Nimrod in Mesopotamia which is the seat of the temple of Ninurta; a city which never had a king and was ruled by the priests of Ninurta who kept their god as the symbolic king. The Hebrews essentially just secularized the Assyrian mythopoetic tradition as an attack on their religion. It's the same variety of tactical atheism as social technology used in the rise of Christianity.
The cult of Ninurta can be traced back to the oldest period of Sumerian history. In the inscriptions found at Lagash he appears under his name Ningirsu, "the lord of Girsu", Girsu being the name of a city where he was considered the patron deity. In the astrotheology system Ninurta was associated with the planet Saturn, or perhaps as offspring or an aspect of Saturn. In his capacity as a farmer-god, there are similarities between Ninurta and the Greek Titan Kronos, whom the Romans in turn identified with their Titan Saturn. Ninurta is associated with stars like Sirius (Sukudu meaning arrow) and Canismaior (qastu meaning bow). Ninurta is also identified with the star Sagittarius, which is the ninth sign of the Zodiac which is represented by a drawn bow and arrow and/or with a centaur using it. Thus a star of Saturn (Ninurta) is being fired.
Freemasons call Nimrod Belus, who is according to Herodotus, a descendant of Ninus (a word corrupted from Ninurta), that the Greeks called Heracles (Hercules).
