Эпос Нинурты и геополитика Шумера III тыс. до нашей эры. Владимир Емельянов. Родина слонов №376

When and how did the image of the godless king who built the Tower of Babel first emerge? What agricultural problems in Southern Mesopotamia did Ninurta solve, and how did he personify the struggle between democratic and authoritarian regimes in early Sumer? What mysterious sacred clan of rulers, born in "sacred marriage"—that is, from annual ritual copulations between city governors and priestesses—formed the Second Dynasty of Lagash? Vladimir Vladimirovich Yemelyanov, Doctor of Philosophy, Candidate of Historical Sciences, and Professor in the Department of Semitic and Hebraic Studies at St. Petersburg State University, discusses not just the first Russian translation of Ninurta's epic, but the entire body of climatic, archaeological, and written information about this turning point in Mesopotamian history. 00:00 Introduction 04:55 Who is Ninurta, how is he connected to the Tower of Babel, and the struggle between democratic and authoritarian orders in early Sumer? 10:15 What agricultural, ecological, and geopolitical realities does Ninurta's epic reflect? 22:20 The stages of the formation of Ninurta's epic and the sources through which it has come down to us. 27:38 The capture of Sumer by the Gutians and the rise of Lagash. 35:45 How the rulers of Lagash were struck from the dynastic lists of Sumer for collaboration with the Gutian invaders. 38:34 The mysterious sacred clan of the Second Dynasty of Lagash – several generations of rulers descended from the Sacred Marriage, that is, conceived during the ritual copulation of the mayor and priestess. 46:50 King Gudea – his origins, ideology, and its connection to Ninurta's epic. 48:58 The cult of prophets and Western Semitic influence on Sumer. 52:24 The Great Drought of the 23rd century BC as the reason for the formation of Ninurta's epic. 56:56 The development of the plot of Ninurta's epic and his transformation from a positive hero to a villain in monotheistic religions. 59:26 Ninurta's complex relationship with his father Enlil.
