Long live the name Enheduanna

How wonderful to see such an ancient tradition that celebrates women scholars and priestesses

An astonishing and inspiring lecture. Thank you to everyone who has devoted your time, passion and presence to bring these works together and arranged to honor the Feminine principal, both in human and Goddess forms. We need to reclaim the spirit and power of voices such as Enheduanna to stabilize and nourish our world before it is too late. Standing ovation to everyone who brought this exhibition and lecture to the world!

הרצאה מעניינת. תודה רבה. חבל שבכל העולם לא מלמדים שכולנו משפחה אחת ! והמלחמות על טריטוריות דתות ואמונות מיותרות. את כל הוצאות החימוש ניתן היה להפנות לאיכות חיי אדם ולשימור כדור הארץ.

what a fabulous lecture, I am awestruck

Great lecture!! I discovered Enheduanna some ten years ago when I realized that even though i have a very good and rather pricey education, focused on art and art history, i had no idea who the very FIRST named artists were… who was the first known author? I was of course familiar with the song of Sargon of Akkad, but i did not know the author’s name. Since then I have fascinated by Enheduanna, and her writings. This show at the Morgan sounds like it was amazing.. This lecture is so informative and insightful Thank you for posting!!! ❤️

wonderful explanation of the exhibition which so enriches our understanding of life in Sumer and Akkadia thousands of years ago. The verses read were mind expanding scholarly contributions for all humanity...

Astonishing! Highly informative. Bravo!

Starts out a little wonky, maybe like a museum talk should be.... quickly moves to fascinating and brilliantly illustrated with cylinder seals and artwork. Great talk and great work Mr. Babcock and team! Saved this one to watch again latter.

Agree they need someone or a few fired for this ineptitude. There are millions of courses on how to give a presentation or even how to read they guy cannot even read the paper nor pronounce the names of the people that paid for the presentation its absurd. This is priceless information to be handed to the idiot of the bunch.

Super important information. Beautiful! Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful at every level! So informative that I had to add this to my history playlist!

Thank you! I am personally studying this time period right now! Thanks so much for posting this lecture ❤

Bravo. What a presentation. Enjoyed every second of it. Shared, liked and subbed.

Fascinating lecture - thanks very much for posting.

A mesmerizing lecture! I am all the more curious to learn about Sumerian and Akkadian cultures. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

Thank you for sharing. What an interesting historical woman. Bless her and thank her.

subject of much interest to me, as a writer and free verse poet I do enjoy the ancients who added to our craft

It never occurred to me how the treasures from these ancient civilization could be filtered through current beliefs. It is a stone relief - how could that be misrepresented. When the lecturer pointed out the larger figure of the woman had been basically hidden by shifting the stone to show her dad, my jaw dropped. because - of course that could happen! The wet-nurse seal being assumed in the wrong way - and the discovers of the beautiful little status with a cuneiform tablet wondering bemusedly why of earth anyone would put a tablet on a women's lap - that the Moran Library & Museum team were the ones who found the mouth of Puabi in the beautiful lapis-lazuli seal. I suppose the place where the seal is usually kept probably have lots of seals, so maybe they just hadn't gotten around to properly photographing that beauty? Still... Anyway, wonderful job - I wish i could have visited this a marvellous exhibition - I went and determinedly googled the little status of the lady kneeling from the beginning because it caught my heart. They brought the priestess Enheduanna to life and made me love her 😊

Wonderfully illustrated lecture.

Amazing thank you for this exceptional informative video..

Gracias. Gracias. Gracias

how wonderful!

the struggle must have been epic...as it is today

This is awesome

So sad that this wonderful work has only 34k views. Sumerian culture is still alive hope we can keep getting more information like this one. ¡¡¡Gracias!!!

Thank you so much.

this is amazing lecture

So much information about Mesopotamian culture and religion! Beautiful seals and other carvings. Wish I could have seen this exhibition, but this lecture is the next best thing

Turned out really nice!

Apart from what I referred to in my note in a separate comment, this material is exquisite. Thank you very much for sharing.

The unknown goddess, the plump one, with four braids of hair, and grain sheaths coming from her shoulders.. I get the impression of water and stalks of something from the delta, suggesting she's Nammu.

Thank you for this lecture. Cylinder seals are an important part of our ancient history. They try to convey a message to us. It is important that we understand symbols that are shown more often, sometimes slightly different in form. At 10 min 46 sec we see at the top center a 'star' with a clear nucleus with a halo around it and an X shape cross in between a wavy shape. This is the symbol of Nibiru. Its cuneiform name is seen in the second vertical row at the top. That means god, star, heaven. It could be explained as the star that is the home of the gods. This is certainly not the symbol of the sun. When Nibiru crosses the ecliptic plane at a very high speed, it causes a huge tidal wave, floods, earthquakes and a bombardment of fiery meteors. Many people die, in fact a civilization is vanished. After that disaster mankind slowly grows again. At 45 min 52 sec we see above that people and animals are fighting. And an eight beamed star representing the crossing planet Nibiru. Below we see that Nibiru has passed our planet Earth, symbolized by the crescent moon. And woman are giving birth again. Its important to know that this eight beamed star and the crescent moon are not refering to the sun and the moon but to planet Nibiru and planet Earth.

The true nature of Our Lady Enheduanna. She was a magical gangster, she commanded the Gods and the Monsters of the Gods. In every other breath she mentions her eagerness to slay and terrorize the disobedient or rebellious. She is the daughter of the world's first Emperor. She is fierce bloodthirsty and proud, like the lioness she was. I hear you roar, My Lady, and I bow my head to thee.

God blessed the Ukrainians who were able to surrender, most in retreat or surrender are killed by Ukrainians. I think it is God's preference for the populace of heaven that they recognize to a greatest extent that they are connected to everything, and I think that God shares this insight with the living. God might quite possibly not be demonic nor have those who are demonic act in discord disruptive of the peaceful superior state of heavenly existence, and so God might offer opportunities of redemption for living people in kindness if possible as example. It is quite possible that some folks think there are demons in heaven, which is just as well, but I really think God wants a general state of peace in heaven, and that this intent or formula is such that all people do learn to respect this in each other, and I am sure Ukraine will heal after it is not run by the US/NATO alliance. The war is an internationally leveraged and coerced operation. It is not at all in the interest of the USA, Europe, or Japan, or any other country, either, by the way. It is imposed on each of them by an external force unfortunately. That cabal is to be resisted and prosecuted where possible and necessary by people on earth as it is in heaven by God. The power of heaven evolves in 25 thousand year cycles with an agile mathematical swiftness. May we all be peaceful and without sorrow in heaven and strive for that alive. What literature do you recognize describing the resolution of this problem? Have you heard of the Chines story called Journey to the West? It's about the adventure of one Sun Wukong ("Monkey King", 孙悟空), and a Monk, and a Pig, and their adventure confronting evil. I love this story.

I am so disappointed in THE MORGAN LIBRARY. Why present something so important and start it out with a guy who has never read a sheet of paper as the opening to the presentation. Could you have gotten someone that could as least have read the presentation paper before he started filming. There are thousands of videos, millions of courses on how to start a presentation, how to speak in public on and on it goes so there is NO REASON for you to put up some guy reading the paper, not looking at the crowd or camera and cannot even pronounce the names on the paper. Seriously people need to be fired for this!

Atlantis is not corroborated, yet. Please correct this statement to First, we had Anatolia. Anatolia, or modern Turkey is the birthplace of civilization!

Not easy to follow as this man speaks in a curious monotone. The lack of inflection makes him sound as though the lecture is being read aloud by a computer bot. Ironic, I suppose.

So, basically a nepo baby.

As for The Goddess… does She know She must pass your test(s) and wait for your conclusion that will determine whether She is ‘wonderful’?

The big question now is where was the FIRST 'Mdso-Potamia', not since 3400-2000 B.C. but much earlier? POOT means in Dutch WOMAN who is WORKING in the ground which deals with 'wroeten' (what a pig is doing), which is related with 'vroedvrouw' which is a MIDWIFE. Meso comes from MAAT (friend) which is helixing in METGEZEL (friend), but than in (metg)EZEL which is a DONKEY since we were SILLY not beleaving these MAD (!) women) in which MAD also means SILLY, since SIL deals with SALT, whith SALTCHRISTALLS out of which CHRISTUS and than ALLAH is helixing. But ALLAH / HALLA (read from the right to the left) means UNIVERSE in Dutch HEELAL. So, 'halleluja 'is an indication for WAKE UP! Luja is like Dutch KLOK LUIDEN (ringing the bells), but a KLOKKENLUIDER means also WHISTLEBLOWER .. The first Meso-Potamie was the DOGGERSBANK in the Northsea (i.c. (H)AT-LANT-A which means HET LAND (the country) since COUNTING means TO TELL since it never was a TALMUD but a GETALMOED which deals with numbers, with MA-the-MA-tics (lunetic woman)!

@dragonfox2.058 This knowledge is already worked out since 2011 in more than 6000 pages! But every time as women wrote about these facts (!) male colleagues did deny. Women did not only discover writings since they did study starconstellations. They also were the first MA-the-MA-ticians. It all deals with the rediscovering of the universal SOUNDHELIX, which is a pattern of sounds (running clouds) that is the same in all languages, but not at the same time. With this KLANKHELIX (Dutch) we can make not only the past 'visable', but also the future. Femal priests in the Oracle of Delphi (not in Greece but in Kriek (the North of France) did developpe this system, but male 'scientists' never studied this technic seriously. Linguists did publish in Oxford and Cambridge several 'Handbooks'. I did accuse them of plagiarisme calling my last book 'The universal soundhelix of the prehistoric midwives stolen by famous scientists' (ISBN 978-3-9818022-4-5). It is a (p)ROVE of plagiarism, but (p)ROOF in Dutch also means piracy. Ans is like Johanna Schapendonk. I was working 26 years as the head of the Dutch Department at the Philipps-University in Marburg. Here I did found out that Jacob Grimm was wrong with his statement that words are getting shorter at the end (f.e. German 'der' is moving in Dutch 'de') since words are growing longer at the end and solve at the front like in I (k)now. The Board was getting very angry since I did tell my students out of Dutch is not only helixing German and English but also French, which would change the 'his-story' of West-Europe (ánd the Middle and Far East) in a 'her store' (not astrology but astro-logistics). To get rid of me they did accuse me of sexual intimidation and they ask the judge (as I went to court) to put me in a close clinic with medication. My lawyer did not get the permission to study the acts, but she was warning me to go back to The Netherlands (I am Dutch). Now in all these 'Handbooks" my theory is published by german, english and american linguists. They call the vanished sounds at the beginning 'splinters' or 'phonaesthemes'. All kinds of 'signs' on these tablets, one can find on historical coins, on pictures but also in landscapes or even 'waterdamp' (look at the picture on Wikipedia.nl where you can see a kind of a 'woman'). On the tablets shows here, you see some women with a very funny mouth like the mouth of a bird which deals with birth since it all were MIDWIVES.
