Unfortunately Nina, you are gravely mistaken. I'm not sure where you are getting your information from or your logic, but here are a few points for you to consider.
The issue isn't anything to do with a 'difference of opinion in the world of ancient history and alien history research', but rather the unfortunate contamination of religious dogma and rhetoric that influences people's 'Bias' and 'Interpretation' of facts, causing them to twist them into fiction, then claiming them to be factual. Thats the problem and I caution everyone to ponder on the above statement because everyone has a bias, but it all depends on whether one is strong enough to ignore bias and stick to the facts.
1/ I never said I just watch YT videos. Infact I've probably read well over 100 books since I started my education on this matter, for the last 20 years. I'm also a member of several active archaeological groups, I've been myself to various archaeological sites as well as being a member of several other groups which delve much deeper into these archaeological and historical facts. I also don't appreciate you suggesting indirectly that I get ALL of my information from youtube videos which there is nothing wrong with that, when those videos are based on facts rather than fiction. I'm not here to big note and to pump myself up but I had to mention that seeing you used it in a negative connotation to reduce people's view of my information as being less credible.
2/ If we are to use what seems extremist christian rhetoric/illogic that 'apples do not fall far from the tree' concerning Enki and Marduk, then what is to be said about Adam and Cain (who was Adam's son), who murdered his brother Abel? Does that mean that Adam is bad now? What kind of logic do you subscribe to? are you just commenting to win a point whilst inserting fiction in order to win your point?
3/ Your mention of Marduk, pretty much gives me the impression you are speaking from an extremist christian point of view, rather than a historical one due to the fact that Marduk is considered the Patron 'demi God' of Babylon and extremist Christians also call Marduk as 'Baal', the entity that was worshipped by the Canaanites.
Marduk (Sumerian) is considered as the same god as Bel (Babylonian), Amon-Ra (Egyptian) and Merodach (Hebrew); and the lord of the secrets of the Tree of Life Ningishzidda (Sumerian) is equivalent to Thot (Egyptian) and Hermes (Greek).
Here is an excerpt from wikipedia regarding 'Bel' who is NOT the same as 'Baal' and I mention this because I know where you are going with it... next you'll be telling everyone that baal is the same as moloch/molech and he is the same as baphomet... these are typical christian stupidity and rhetoric that twist truth and history, its an abhorrent trait.
-------------------
Bel (/ˈbeɪl/; from Akkadian bēlu), signifying "lord" or "master", is a title rather than a genuine name, applied to various gods in the Mesopotamian religion of Akkad, Assyria and Babylonia. The feminine form is Belit 'Lady, Mistress'. Bel is represented in Greek as Belos and in Latin as Belus. Linguistically Bel is an East Semitic form cognate with the Northwest Semitic Baal with the same meaning.
Early translators of Akkadian believed that the ideogram for the god called in Sumerian Enlil was to be read as Bel in Akkadian. Current scholarship holds this as incorrect, but one finds Bel used in referring to Enlil in older translations and discussions.
Bel became especially used for the Babylonian god Marduk and when found in Assyrian and neo-Babylonian personal names or mentioned in inscriptions in a Mesopotamian context it can usually be taken as referring to Marduk and no other god. Similarly Bêlit mostly refers to Bel Marduk's spouse Sarpanit. However, Marduk's mother, the Sumerian goddess called Ninhursag, Damkina, Ninmah and other names in Sumerian, was often known as Belit-ili "Lady of the Gods" in Akkadian.
Other gods called "Lord" could be and sometimes were identified totally or in part with Bel Marduk. The god Malak-bel of Palmyra is an example, though in the later period from which most of our information comes he seems to have become very much a sun god.
Similarly, Zeus Belus mentioned by Sanchuniathon as born to Cronus/El in Peraea is unlikely to be Marduk.
-------------------
And as usual, in extremist Christian rhetoric, the babylonians were considered evil and that God had to punish them. This is the ignorant and stupid rhetoric that is always spoken by extremist christians who don't follow history at all, but rather lies and rhetoric used to further their brainwashing of their followers/subjects.
Let me explain to you why... The Babylonians were a group of humans that Enki helped escape from Eden (the Den of Animals which is the place where the god you call good, was keeping the humans as slaves and treating all the humans like animals as he originally (by Command of his father Anu), assigned Enki with his sister Ninhursag, to genetically engineer, to create 'man', mixing their alien genes with those of earth hominids). Enlil was Enki's older brother who was always wary of Enki's propensity to 'overdo things', in this case, fashioning a being that would equal the Annunaki in intellect and power. Enlil was opposed to this, and sabotaged Enki's plans. It was actually Enki who placed man in the 'Garden of Eden' ('Edin' in the Sumerian texts and where Edin is actually called DEN, in the Annunaki Language which means 'Den of Animals')
In any case, the babylonians after escaping the 'Den of Animals' with the help from Enki, built their own city and life OUTSIDE of that of Enlil's tyranny, where the babylonians lived in peace and harmony, building and creating from information and technology given to them by Enki.
Then when Enlil finds out about this, he destroys babylon (as written in the bible) and separates the humans, somehow changing their languages to something where nobody can understand each other. If Enlil was such a good God, WHY would he destroy a peaceful city? WHY would he change all of the resident's language so that they could not understand each other? The answer is very simple, because he HATED the humans, he considered humans as a mistake and that mistake was the fault of Enki, according to Enlil which is why they continuously made war with each other and it is the sole reason, I believe, that humans are continuously being targeted for extermination and imprisonment and pain, for as long as is possible, thus referring to the 'death traps' RV recently done by @courtney's team.
After Enlil threatened the new race (Man - Humans) to obey him alone, Enki approached 'Eve' and told her to ignore Enlil, and 'eat of the fruit of life', so that she could gain intellect and connect to source. She did, and gave Adam, who 'ate' (received intellect and connected to source/God) as well. This enraged Enlil, who drove them out of 'Eden'. Enki provided them with clothes and food when they were thrown out. This is where the bible gets deceptive where they wrote that Yahweh (who is really Anu and sometimes referred to as Enlil, even though its not), did it all, eg.put them in the garden, drove them out, and then clothed them and fed them when they'd been driven out. In the Sumerian epics, it was very different, as shown.
The bible is essentially a collection of Enlilian documents/stories, brandished by Enlil's followers, painted to make Enlil (the Administrator - Satam) the 'good God' and Enki 'the evil one'. Typical christian rhetoric bathed in twisted half truths to output in fiction then calling it all truth. Thus, in reality, it was Enki that was trying to free mankind from Enlil's holier than thou TYRANNY. Christianity and Judaism are Enlilian religions, with Enkian faiths largely relegated to the background, their followers having suffered historic defeats to Enlilian forces, and their beliefs now dismissed as evil, savage, and retrogressive (eg African, Asian, & Mexican religions).
I could go on and on about this but I won't otherwise it will turn into a nasty discussion because OBVIOUSLY you aren't debating me from a place or point of logic, reason or historical fact, but rather from a religious point of view that is based in fiction and half twisted truths right from the beginning.
