THE SUMERIAN CODE REVEALED

Every step on the way we come closer to the heart of the labyrinth. Sumerian artificial structure is the most complicated labyrinth built by man. It is not made of stone and brick but of words. It is a the highest from of human creation. It is the first time human beings built a language out of nothing. It is not a product of natural selection but laboratory manipulation of the word.

1. father-in-law (10x/100%)

~ LEX/Old Babylonian/Nippur murub₅(MUNUS.NITA₂.DAM) OB Nippur Lu 758; muru₅(MUNUS.UD.EDEN) OB Nippur Lu 759. LEX/Old Babylonian/unknown [[muru₅]] = = [SAL.U₄.EDIN] = e-mu-um ra-bu-um OB Diri "Oxford" 362.

2. brother-in-law

Akk. emu rabû "father-in-law".

There is basically no need to enter the labyrinth because the name of brother-in-law is a pure anagram or the perfect word which can be read forward and backward. This word is extremely important because it was created at an early stage when scribes had not invented a proper mechanism to invent new words in the artificial language. So they had to improvise on the spot. Akk. e-mu-um ra-bu-um was chopped into three pieces and three syllables were extracted from the Akk. idiom to create the Sumerian anagram.

Akk. syllables -mu- ra- -um were glued together and for the sake of vowel harmony ra- > ru-. The final result was from Akk. -mu- ra- -um > Sum. murum

The concept of -in-laws derived from the concept of the great mother. The mother is the lady of the house.

In the ancient times matriarchy lived alongside patriarchy. When a man lived among the relatives of the bride, when he left his house and went to his wife's house or tent than he lived under the matriarchal order. The reverse happened when a woman left her house and lived with her husband. The basic element of the world order is the economics. There were villages where women were economically more powerful then men and there were villages where the opposite was the norm. But with the creation of the first city state one order had to become the universal norm. Initially the rule of the great mother was the norm but after the climate change and the disasters that followed it, the rule of the great mother was abolished and the goddess suddenly lost her sacred status. Sumerian language had to be invented in a hurry by the new patriarchs. However, the language of the mother goddess survived among the people who initially recognized the mother as the absolute deity of the sky. She was also the lady of the house. The political order changed instantly but language cannot change overnight. That why Sumerian had to be invented as a substitute.
