all of this seems pretty relevant to current events of the warlords. so: hurrians are the miners and smelters, chaldeans are egypts lumberjacks, egyptians are the granary but have no wood for shipbuilding or construction (thus the prominence of masonry), but they do have gold mines in the south. this all seems relevant to the trade routes and division of labor, as well as the grid laying for agriculture and mapping. what i notice is that the obfuscation seems related to keeping all the kingdoms ignorant of each other and putting merchants/seafarers at the top of the food chain. they are the only ones with the maps, sailing/navigation tech, as well as the language babble decryption keys. they only dispense the relevant knowledge to maintain cultural insularity of the 'supply regions', and myths to 'explain' the relationships without really letting people know there is one bloodline of selective breeders at the top. this power structure is still operating and keeping everyone in the dark. to discover any part of this puzzle takes religious people into the cognitive dissonance mode instantly because to parse it they would have to admit that their whole history and religion is a sinister lie. that river junction of baghdad looks a lot like the potomac. . .not without reason. i also notice that the Sea-org is still at the top of US intelligence pyramid, kinda like some older orders.
for once i wanted to be the one to add a scholarly paper, so here is one about the iconoclastic devotee of the storm god, who sought to upend the order. the rebellion of Amurru-ka is a jacobite enterprise, is it not? http://www.britishmuseum.org/pdf/6d%20The%20failed%20reforms.pdf
so i am chewing all this and i can't get over the following: Anu is a sky god which is often associated with a celestial ANU.NA.KI, but also with ANU.NA.GE a pantheon of GEological 'underground gods'. is Ishara the doorway between the sky gods and the underground gods? are they mirror images? the storm god is described as banishing the underground gods back to their subterranean domain. there is biblical reference to both smashing of shrines in high places (AYR) and asherah poles. in particular i was just reading about a shrine built in a highest part of turkey, kizildag pass. so is the mountaintop the place where the underground gods and the sky gods make a truce? is this what a tor is also? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_Tor
did sailors bring this religion to places around the globe? is it all mumbo jumbo or is there really some information granted by knowing this religion and its practices? i am often inclined to think the ancient religions contain knowledge most 'scientists' still do not comprehend, unless of course they are privy to these secret groups and given the keys to the kingdom.

Melkor (Quenya; IPA: "He who arises in might"), later known predominantly as Morgoth,[1] was the first Dark Lord, and the primordial source of evil in Eä.
Originally the most powerful of the Ainur created by Eru Iluvatar, Melkor rebelled against his creator out of pride and sought to corrupt Arda. After committing many evils in the First Age, such as the theft of the Silmarils, which resulted in his name Morgoth, and the destruction of the Two Lamps and the Two Trees of Valinor, Morgoth was defeated by the Host of Valinor in the War of Wrath and cast out of Arda into the Void, where he now waits.
