[quote:Anonymous Coward 72768237:MV8zMjM4NDkyXzU4MzE2NTcwX0NERDAwQTYz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 65267488:MV8zMjM4NDkyXzU3ODY5MDIzXzU5QTkyMTFC] Yes the Ekur is the Mountain House. It is the Home of Enlil, also known as the Lord of the Storm aka: Zeus. The personification of Jupiter. The greeks knew this as Mount Olympus, the mountain dwelling of the gods. [i]Ninmah, by the occasion moved, a poem recited and sang: House that is like a mountain, house with a pointed peak, For Heaven-Earth it is equipped, the handiwork of the Anunnaki it is. House bright and dark, house of heaven and Earth, For the celestial boats it was put together, by the Anunnaki built. House whose interior with a reddish light of heaven glows, A pulsating beam that far and high reaches it emits; Lofty mountain of mountains, great and lofty fashioned, Beyond the understanding of Earthlings it is. House of equipment, lofty house of eternity, Its foundation stones the waters touch, its great circumference in clay is set. House whose parts are skilfully together woven, The great ones who in the skies circle to a resting make descent; House that for the rocketships is a landmark, with unfathomable insides, By Anu himself is the Ekur blessed. Thus did Ninmah at the celebration recite and sing.[/i] [/quote] Interesting, what is this verse from and who did the translation? [/quote]

Duat (pronounced "do-aht") (also Tuat and Tuaut or Akert, Amenthes, Amenti, or Neter-khertet) was the realm of the dead in ancient Egyptian mythology. It was the realm of the deity Osiris and the residence of other gods and supernatural beings. The Duat was the region through which the sun god Ra traveled from west to east during the night, and where he battled Apep. It was also the place where people's souls went after death for judgement, though that was not the full extent of the afterlife.[1] Burial chambers formed touching-points between the mundane world and the Duat, and spirits could use tombs to travel back and forth from the Duat.
