The tale of the Celestrial Collision

www.youtube.com...

The Sumarians Seven Tablets of Creation
includes a storycalled "The tale of the Celestrial Collision".
(at time 4:40 on video, link above).

In it, an intruder comes out of deep space. They call it Nibiru. As
Nibiru's orbit brought it inside Jupiter, It faced a planet called

Tiamat and Nibiru's main sattelite cracked Tiamat. In a series of
collisions, half of Tiamat was smashed to pieces and became the
comets and the asteroid belt.

The other half was thrust to a new orbital position along Tiamats
Sattelite and became Earth. The Sattelite became our moon.

Tiamat, the ill-fated, broken planet that the Sumerians say is the
astroid belt, comets and, in part, the Earth.

Tiamat is also the Babylonian she-dragon in west asian
mythology,and in Mesopotamian mythology, a primal goddess.

Yet, the original was the Sumerian monster Labbu, and in tablet 4 in
the Enuma Elish from the seven Tablets of Creation. Tiamat who is
often depicted as a multi-headed dragon and the Ocean Goddess,
Defeated by Marduk.

In tablet 5, Marduk creates springs from Tiamat's eyes forming the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

In AD&D, Tiamat is this five-headed evil dragon.
