Let's consider Nimrod's role in all this. I've been studying his role a little more indepth as of late. If you recall from earlier in this
thread, I discussed how Nimrod was the first antediluvian world Emperor. He was also known as Osiris, Marduk, and the Chinese Shun (he would have had
an equivalent imperial "god" name in India, but at this point, I'm not sure what the name was). Anyway, when he fails to reopen the Abzu stargate
during the Tower of Babel scenario, he leaves the area and heads to Egypt. Whether he was alive or dead at this point, I'm unsure, however there is
one thing of interest to me at this juncture:
According to the ancient sumerian texts, there were at least 2 star gates in ancient Sumer: the gate at Eridu (The Abzu) and the gate at Nibru (The
Dur.anki). The one at Eridu was buried under the flood waters and retrieved a few hundred years later, by Nimrod, during his attempt to rebuild
Enki's "E.ABZU" Temple on the same exact spot. This was called the Tower of Babel in biblical texts and the Etemenanki in earlier babylonian
texts. When he failed to open the gate and the Etemenanki was destroyed, the gate was reburied (by God, according to the biblical texts) in such a
way as to resist removal, usage or discovery, and Nimrod vacates the area and travels to Egypt with his entourage. In the meantime, what happened to
the Dur.anki gate? Since no mention is made of it, I'm going to assume, for the sake of conjecture, that Nimrod retrieved it and ran with it to
Egypt.
Once he gets to Egypt (remember now, he's the Egyptian Osiris), he founds the city of Abydos (Egyptian Abdju pronounced Abzu), builds the Osirieon
chamber and stuffs the Dur.anki in it. The whole thing is kept a hush hush secret. When Osiris (Nimrod) and his entourage eventually die, the
secret chamber is not revealed to their predecessors and it lays hidden for at least a millenia, passing into legend. Eventually the Pharaoahs begin
to search for it at Abydos, believing that Osiris (Nimrod) is actually buried there. They start digging up the ancient city and find other kings
chambers but never that of Osiris, that is, until Seti I.
Seti I decides to have his own temple built in Abydos. During the excavations for the foundations of his temple, his workers run smack into the
Osirieon where it has laid buried for a very long time, under the sand. As a result, that last portion of Seti I's temple can't be built and has to
turn a corner, creating an L shape temple (a total departure from all the other temples). He has the men construct an underground passageway that
attaches the Osirieon to his own temple, refurbishes the Osirieon for any wear and tear, and claims it as his own. No mention is given of what he
found in the Osirieon, although modern day archaeologists and egyptologists believe it is a scale model of the primeval ocean and primeval mountain
(et.al, Enki's E.ABZU and Abzu). They were partially correct, since the "mountain" portion was entirely missing. This brings up a whole new set
of questions:
1. Did Seti I find the Dur.anki where Nimrod had hidden it in the Osirieon? (IF indeed he did hide it or even take it from its burial site in
Iraq)
2. If Seti I found it, where'd it go? There are several potential places he could've moved it to, including
a) His own temple at Abydos
b) His Temple at Memphis
c) His tomb in the Valley of the Kings
d) He left it in the Osirieon
3. If Seti I placed it in any of those places, where is it now? Who found it? The only potential candidates, at this juncture, are:
a) The people who discovered Seti I's temple at Abydos
b) The people who discovered his temple at Memphis
c) The people who discovered his tomb in the Valley of the Kings
d) The people who re-discovered the Osirieon.
Also there are several other places it might have been put in, but since it was such a secret chamber to begin with, I'm assuming Seti I would've
been as secretive about it as Nimrod had been. Perhaps there was an explanation or warning left with it, that Seti I read, understood and took the
necessary precautions - that this was a device of the "gods" and should be kept away from the common people.
It was during Seti I's life, before his burial, btw, that the Book of Gates was written (from what I can tell). Following this theory, he might've
found the gate, tried to make sense of it, had his scribes and priests help him write it into a funerary text which supported their own theories and
prior funerary texts such as the Book of What is in the Duat, the Book of the Netherworld and the Book of the Dead and then had the entire thing
engraved into his alabaster sarcophagus.
To add a layer of curiosity to it, there's a corridor (the "K" passageway) in Seti I's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, that hasn't been entirely
excavated. There's indication that the hieroglyphics continue on, but the excavations stopped. Why? Curiously, they hit the water table, and
still discovered the glyphs continued down, into the water level, and yet, didn't continue their excavations! It was stated on the official "Valley
of the Kings" website, that continuing excavations down the K corridor were set to be reinstated in 2001 but nothing further has been revealed to the
public. In fact, the article makes it sound as if the project wasn't approved by the authority for Egyptian antiquities.
