The gods under Enlil began to take the daughters of the humans as wives and began to have hybrid children. Enlil saw this as an abomination of his race and wanted the human race destroyed. Enlil tried on many occasions, by floods and plagues, but Enki had thwarted Enlil at every attempt. Leading to further divisions between the god's, Enki's first born son Marduk-Ra, believed that he was destined to rule the Earth from the Enlilian city of Babylon, the "Gateway of the Gods," rather than Enlil's first born son Ninurta. Marduk-Ra began in 3113 BCE, by exiling his own half-brother Thoth/Quetzalcoatl from Egypt and began the first Egyptian pharaonic dynasty and army. The following millennia would be a time of war between the competing extraterrestrial gods and their armies in the Middle East. It was a war between the Enlilian gods and Marduk-Ra, who, by his warmongering and power-hungry actions, had also alienated himself from four of his five brothers, which included Thoth/Quetzalcoatl.
