The last one of me and Nigel is "OK, Disrupted Bowels, go!"

That one's my favorite!

[Suu]

Went to New York City. This shit happens.



Here's my cousin and I:


I have pics of food too. OMG the food...Cousin and I got tacos after the museum that were freaking amazing...

[East Coast Hustle]

I don't think you made that first pic large enough.

[Freeky]

I just skipped it.  Can't see hardly any photos on this dinky little notebook, anyway.

[East Coast Hustle]

It's a pic of Suu pointing at a marble head of some Roman guy.

She looks good, but it's a little disconcerting to glance over at my laptop and see a life-size rendering of her staring me down.

[Freeky]

Oh. 

[Suu]

WTF I SHRUNK THEM?! Ugh. Fixing! Fixed!

E.O.T. and his elder spawn:

This seemed really important at the time:

Actually that looks interesting. I imagine that indicates that ti means rib and that the cuneiform for Ninti is the same or similar to the Hand of Eris?

(iirc nin means "Lady")

Yep, that's the gist of it. Basically, we concluded that both Eris and Eve are derivatives of the Sumerian goddess Ninti.

Yep, that's the gist of it. Basically, we concluded that both Eris and Eve are derivatives of the Sumerian goddess Ninti.

This is a very keen observation. Through-out the Erisian mythology, we find that Eris gives birth to herself (or, at least to goddesses who share her Named Title). Note this in the following Enki story (from wikipedia):

A third time Enki succumbs to temptation, and attempts seduction of Uttu. Upset about Enki's reputation, Uttu consults Ninhursag, who, upset at the promiscuous wayward nature of her spouse, advises Uttu to avoid the riverbanks, the places likely to be affected by flooding, the home of Enki. In another version of this myth Ninhursag takes Enki's semen from Uttu's womb and plants it in the earth where eight plants rapidly germinate. With his two-faced servant and steward Isimud, "Enki, in the swampland, in the swampland lies stretched out, 'What is this (plant), what is this (plant). His messenger Isimud, answers him; 'My king, this is the tree-plant', he says to him. He cuts it off for him and he (Enki) eats it". And so, despite warnings, Enki consumes the other seven fruit. Consuming his own semen, he falls pregnant (ill with swellings) in his jaw, his teeth, his mouth, his hip, his throat, his limbs, his side and his rib. The gods are at a loss to know what to do, chagrinned they "sit in the dust". As Enki lacks a womb with which to give birth, he seems to be dying with swellings. The fox then asks Enlil King of the Gods, "If i bring Ninhursag before thee, what shall be my reward?" Ninhursag's sacred fox then fetches the goddess.

Ninhursag relents and takes Enki's Ab (water, or semen) into her body, and gives birth to gods of healing of each part of the body. Abu for the Jaw, Nintul for the Hip, Ninsutu for the tooth, Ninkasi for the mouth, Dazimua for the side, Enshagag for the Limbs. The last one, Ninti (Lady Rib), is also a pun on Lady Life, a title of Ninhursag herself. The story thus symbolically reflects the way in which life is brought forth through the addition of water to the land, and once it grows, water is required to bring plants to fruit. It also counsels balance and responsibility, nothing to excess.

Ninti, the title of Ninhursag, also means "the mother of all living", and was a title given to the later Hurrian goddess Kheba. This is also the title given in the Bible to Eve, the Hebrew Khavvah (חוה), the Aramaic Hawwah, who was made from the rib of Adam, in a strange reflection of the Sumerian myth, in which Adam — not Enki — walks in the Garden of Paradise.[10]

And from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebat

Hebat, also transcribed Kheba or Khepat, was the mother goddess of the Hurrians, known as "the mother of all living".

The mother goddess is likely to have had a later counterpart in the Phrygian goddess Cybele.

And we know from my research that "Ma-Cybele" was the hidden name of Rhea/The greek Magna-Mater. The 3 Graeae (Enyo, Dino, Pemphredo) and the Roman Bellona also have direct roots from Cybele (which we now know was partially syncretised from Kheba/Hebat -> Ninti/Ninhursag from the sourthern mesopotamian people, and the Rhea Krona/Tabhiti/Kybele fire goddess of the nothern steppe and ionian coastal people.


Fucking A, Nigel. Nice find.

Thanks! You never know what random leaps and connections may be made in E.O.T.'s basement. The dude basically free-associates all the time, making him somewhat difficult to have a coherent conversation with but fantastic for brainstorming and whatnot.
