Figured I'd ask before spewing out a post nobody wants to read Thanks Hi Phyto welcome to the forum, you have no idea how auto correct mangled your name but I got it to work. Generally that is how it works you tell us what you want to talk about and add some links that support your statements, then then we ask questions and exchange points of discussion to test the validity of your claim. So please do inform us. jmccr8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bison Posted May 29, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) The Gur Cube is reported to have been 12 by 12 by 1 cubits. How all the other ancient Mesopotamian units of measurement fit into this is explained in the linked article, below (see section 2). For those who don't find wikipedia satisfactory, there are a number of citations and links to sources, included. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Mesopotamian_units_of_measurement Edited May 29, 2018 by bison stylistic improvement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stecchini's very informative, but all his claims have to be checked. Quote Searching for Naram-Sin didn't bring up anything on meterology (there were four kings with that name): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naram-Suen ...so I got nothin. I hadn't realised there were four kings with the same name. However, according to this (which has an image of the royal gur), it was Naram-Sin of Akkad (c. 2190–2154 BC), Mention of the gur cube here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, well, if you wanted to discuss that, I'd suggest you start another thread If I joined I''d probably start by pointing out that " ki " is a silent determinant and not actually said outloud, and " an " and " annuna " are two separate words More properly, it's Annunaki Thanks for contributing Edited May 31, 2018 by Phyto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That puts him miles ahead of people quoting Sitchin here. Hell, that puts them miles ahead of Sitchin.
