Semiramis

Compare her headdress to the Utah Semiraimis artifact. Nimrud - Queen. Semiramis. "Semiramis (Assyrian;ܫܲܡܝܼܪܵܡ Shamiram, /sɛˈmɪrəməs/; Greek: Σεμίραμις, Armenian: Շամիրամ Shamiram) was the legendary wife of King Ninus, succeeding him to the throne of Assyria. The legends narrated by Diodorus Siculus, Justin, and others from Ctesias of Cnidus describe her and her relationship to King Ninus, himself a mythical king of Assyria. The name of Semiramis came to be applied to various monuments in Western Asia and Asia Minor, the origin of which was forgotten or unknown. Nearly every stupendous work of antiquity by the Euphrates or in Iran seems to have ultimately been ascribed to her, even the Behistun Inscription of Darius. Herodotus ascribes to her the artificial banks that confined the Euphrates and knows her name as borne by a gate of Babylon. However, Diodorus stresses that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built long after Semiramis. Various places in Assyria and throughout Mesopotamia as a whole, Media, Persia, the Levant, Asia Minor, Arabia, and the Caucasus bore the name of Semiramis, but slightly changed, even in the Middle Ages, and an old name of the Armenian city of Van was Shamiramagerd (in Armenian it means created by Semiramis). A real and historical Shammuramat (the Akkadian and Aramaic form of the name) was the Assyrian wife of Shamshi-Adad V (ruled 824 BC–811 BC), king of Assyria and ruler of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, and its regent for five years until her son Adad-nirari III came of age. The indigenous Assyrians of Iraq, northeast Syria, southeast Turkey, and northwest Iran still use Semiramis as a name for female children. King in Mosul. Assyrian New Year. Ancient crown.

The Book of Enoch and Noah

Ethiopian literature represented predominantly by translations from ancient Greek and Hebrew religious texts into the ancient language Ge'ez, modern Amharic and Tigrigna languages - Book of Enoch. The Great Flood and Noah are prophesied in the Book of Enoch. The Manichaeans used the Book of Enoch, is this why the Michigan slates are so focused on the Great Flood and the Tower of Babel? A vision of heaven from the Book of Enoch. The Antediluvian world. Semiramis, Babel, and the bird.

Michigan Slates - the Guru

On closer inspection, this figure is bearded. Below - one of the slates depicts this important leader wrapped up in a snake, this group was definately gnostic! This is a portrait of the same character. Here we have the figure in the big white headdress proclaiming a book from heaven, is this Mani? There are Chinese soldiers at the bottom of this slate. The figure here labeled as the Queen is probably the guru leader of the slates group and is a bearded male. The bird is the word. The bird staff. The son of the right hand glyph used at Burrows cave.
