	Ziusudra Intro - Skipsilver
		Ziusudra is a lightship that sails through time, carrying the best of life; its creative energy, its creative works, its creators.
		Ziusudra is not an apocalyptic flood story in the traditional sense.
		Ziusudra is a surfer of the solarwinds, a shaper of the human resonance

	Ziusudra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tale of Ziusudra is known from a single fragmentary tablet, written in Sumerian, and published in 1914 by Arno Poebel.
		Ziusudra being king of Shuruppak is supported in the Gilgamesh XI tablet by the reference to Utnapishtim as "man of Shuruppak" at line 23.
		Xisuthros (Ξισουθρος) is a Hellenization of Sumerian Ziusudra, known from the writings of Eusebius of Caesarea, an attendee at the First Council of Nicaea and early historian of the Christian Church.

	Laputan Logic - Ziusudra
		Ziusudra (who in other texts is known as Atrahasis "Exceedingly Wise" or Ut-napishtim "He Who Saw Life") already knew about this because this was the fourth time that the gods had attempted to wipe out the entire human race.
		Ziusudra explained to the the elders of the city of Shuruppak that Enki was at war with Enlil and that as a partisan on the side of Enki he would have to leave immediately.
		Ziusudra, his wife and the ship's pilot (but not the rest of his family) were declared immortal and were taken away to live in a far off country, in the good and pure land of Dilmun (the island of Bahrain), the place where the sun rises.

		Ziusudra kissed the floor of the deck, and then slaughtered one of the oxen, sacrificing to Utu, the god of the sun.

		Interpreters understand that Ziusudra, king of Shuruppak, was saved because of his great piety and that the construction of the Ark was mentioned in the lines of column IV that followed the preserved ones.
		Ziusudra may have built a ziggurat or a temple; either one had the function of embodying the basic structure of the cosmos and of preserving it.
		In what remains of column VI we learn that Ziusudra was granted immortality "like a god." Some commentators express surprise at this raising of an ordinary man to the level of the gods, particularly since Ziusudra may have been an historical king.

	Gilgamesh, Sumerian Cycle: The Deluge
		The Sumerian flood episode is part of a poem devoted primarily to the myth of the immortalization of Ziusudra, and this myth was artfully utilized by the Babylonian poets for their own purposes.
		Thus, when the weary Gilgamesh comes before Utanapishtim (the Babylonian Ziusudra) and questions him concerning the secret of eternal life, the Babylonian poets did not let him answer briefly and to the point; instead, they took advantage of this opening to insert their version of the deluge myth.
		Ziusudra seems to station himself by a wall, where he hears the voice of a deity informing him of the decision taken by the assembly of the gods to send a flood and "to destroy the seed of mankind".

	flood
		The Sumerian myth of Ziusudra tells how the god Enki warns Ziusudra (meaning "he saw life," in reference to the gift of immortality given him by the gods), king of Shuruppak, of the gods' decision to destroy mankind in a flood - the passage describing why the gods have decided this is lost.
		After a flood of seven days, Ziusudra makes appropriate sacrifices and prostrations to An (sky-god) and Enlil (chief of the gods), and is given eternal life in Dilmun (the Sumerian Eden) by Anu and Enlil.
		The myth of Ziusudra exists in a single copy, the fragmentary Eridu Genesis, datable by its script to the 17th century BC.

	Sumerian Social System - Crystalinks
		On another clay tablet, surviving fragments of a poem describe the gods as having decided that humans were evil and the gods as having created a flood "to destroy the seed of humanity," a flood that raged for seven days and seven nights.
		The tablet describes a huge boat commanded by a king named Ziusudra, who was preserving vegetation and the seed of humankind.
		Then Ziusudra prostrated himself before Utu and sacrificed an ox and a sheep for the god.

	Noah's Ark and the Ziusudra Epic, a mythology book.
		A reconstruction of a lost legend about Ziusudra (Noah) a Sumerian king whose river barge got caught in local flooding of the Euphrates River about 2900 BC.
		Ziusudra was king of the Sumerian city Shuruppak at the end of the Jemdet Nasr period about 2900 BC.
		The word hill was later misunderstood to mean mountain by storytellers who falsely assumed that the nearby barge had grounded on the top of a mountain.

	Human Origins
		And Ziusudra did as he was instructed, and Enki felt justified - - at least a small token of his "creation" would survive.
		When Ziusudra and his family disembarked from the boat, he built a huge bon-fire and killed lambs and gave a burnt offering to "the gods." It was especially in honor of his lord Enki.
		Thus, the Earth, through Ziusudra and his family, would once again be populated with new human beings -- thus, would all flesh trace its roots to a time when, but for the disobeyed order of one "god," Mankind's demise would have been a foregone conclusion.

		Enki the wise and Nin-khursag chose to defy the councils decree and save King Ziusudra by giving his advanced warning and instructions to build a boat.
		King Ziusudra builds the boat and stocks it with ox, sheep, fowl, and other beasts for food provisions.
		Since the area of the Black Sea was then a much smaller freshwater lake it's probable that King Ziusudra was also a prominent fisherman and the first "Fisher King".

	The origin of the Sumerians and the great flood
		Ziusudra followed Enki's instructions and after the flood had abated, Enki was able to persuade the other chief gods not only to spare Ziusudra but to give him eternal life as a reward for having saved all living things from destruction.
		After Gilgamesh finds Ziusudra, he is told about the flood and was able to convince Ziusudra to give him the plant of eternal youth.
		Of interest to me is the preflood city name Shurupak, which was ruled by Ziusudra and devastated by the flood, but which was also found later in Mesopotamia, as a new city established by the incoming Sumerians.

		But what is really interesting about this telling of the flood story is the Ziusudra is the 'preserver of the seed of mankind'.
		The matter of this preservation is more fully covered in the Babylonian account, which explains that the boat or ark was actually a submarine and it carried seeds of living creatures.
		He was the one that instructed Ziusudra to build the ark and escape the flood.

		Note the "cabin" (?) at the rear of the craft, was this transformed via embelishment and hyperbole into the 7 story Ziusudra Ark ?

		It had always been a matter of some surprise that this individual should receive no mention in the king-list., where the last name before 'the Flood' appeared as Ubartutu, a ruler of Shuruppak.
		In another version of the Deluge story, however, its hero is given the alter- native name Ziusudra, and a surviving fragment of the text makes it clear that he was the son of Ubartutu.
		The implication here that Ziusudra and Gilgamesh were contemporaries is unfortunately refuted by the fact that the former was deified after the Flood, and was accordingly already a god when Gilgamesh met him.

		The text breaks at this point, but from parallel Babylonian stories we can surmise that the noise of teeming humanity proved to be too much for Enlil, who decided to end it for all time.
