I was just thinking, the rationale that there are only 2 things that can be related from one species to another are 1: Leave me alone 2: Food. These thoughts do not instil happy thoughts in my head

Alot more is communicated species to species than just those two things. You can examine the symbiotic relationships between animals in the wild. Animals can read body language just like we can and more than that.
Smells carry a plethora of information for example. Language is but one method of communication, and it involves only one of the senses. Imagine if we could communicate engaging with more than just one. That would be freaky.

Kantzveldt, I consider your statements correct. What the Sumerians wrote, I take it for truth. They did not make a mistake: the mistake is ours. Where is the mistake? The mistake is that when the good Sumerians were talking about "they will come", we did not realize a simple, basic thing. I explain myself now.
Let's take the following scenario 1: A recce ship from an exoplanet comes to visit us. The recce ship crashes. In a desert. Say, in 1947. What would the mothership commander do?
Scenario 2: An F-16 crashes on a mission over a desert in Iran. In 2013. What would the commander do?
For scenario 2, we know what would happen. You just send another plane to see what has happened and report back.
For scenario 1, you do exactly the same. The difference is this: you were travelling at near the speed of light (otherwise forget about coming from an exoplanet). It happens that 7 years at that speed means 500 years for you. This means that the 1947 crash happened just 3 months ago for the guys in the mothership. hence, assuming those guys would do exactly what you would do in a similar situation, you should be expecting those guys to pop up in about 2 months, Earth time.
This all means, switching back to Sumerian mythology, that we tend to measure time in a very funny way: the way we are used to. And we do this even when relativity theory is there for us to teach us not to take things for granted. So, yes, people "coming out" from Naama (we call it Nemma, it means "ocean") will come. The question is when?
Nammu was the Goddess sea (Engur) that gave birth to An (heaven) and Ki (earth) and the first gods, representing the Apsu, the fresh water ocean that the Sumerians believed lay beneath the earth, the source of life-giving water and fertility in a country with almost no rainfall.

Don't forget the 2 options of interspecial communication.
1) Leave me alone
2) Food
It says goddess sea, not sea goddess.

that would sound more like a river- but yes there are currents in the ocean... i guess ocean just means ocean-alot of water. but sweet water? thats odd

Finally, 500 years Earth time is just 7 years spacetime, at the speed of light. Events that you think happened in 1950, happened 3 months ago, from the point of view of someone approaching you at near c.
