After learning about the Watchers’ deeds from Nabu, Emperor Anu ordered their punishment. In Chapter 10 of the Book of Enoch he commanded archangel Raphael to: „Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire” (10:4-6). Then he told the archangel Gabriel: „Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy the children of the Watchers from amongst men: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have. And no request that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years” (10:9-10). And to the archangel Michael, his right hand, he commanded: „Go, bind Semjaza and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations. And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth’ shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore” (10:11-16). Anu entrusted a special mission to the archangel Uriel: „Go to Noah and tell him in my name ‘Hide thyself!’ and reveal to him the end that is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come upon the whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it. And now instruct him that he may escape and his seed may be preserved for all the generations of the world” (10:2-4). The Emperor decided to hide from humans his decision to flood the Earth, ordering Raphael to lie to them: „proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin” (10:7-9). Therefore, Marduk did not lie to Nabu when he showed him Anu’s true plan to destroy all beings on Earth: „the Earth turned upside down with its inhabitants, terrified, people fled in all directions, stars fell, crashing into each other, making a deafening noise” (News about Egypt and Its Wonders), „the heaven collapsed and was borne off and fell to the earth. And when it fell to the earth I saw how the earth was swallowed up in a great abyss, and mountains were suspended on mountains, and hills sank down on hills, and high trees were rent from their stems, and hurled down and sunk in the abyss” (The Book of Enoch 83:3-5). Although the archangels Michael and Raphael were amazed at the severity of the punishment, they fulfilled their task. According to chapter 18 of the Book of Enoch, Azazel / Enki and his Watchers were imprisoned for 10,000 years.
The punishment of Enki is also found in Norse mythology, where Loki was imprisoned in the Underworld because of his actions. In Norse Mythology, Elena-Maria Morogan describes the event as follows: „Silently, the gods took him to the Underworld, to a sad and dark place not far from where Fenrir had been bound. There was a black cave; two rocks had fallen so as to form the V sign, a magic sign that would prevent him from being able to escape. Here all those of his blood were brought; one of his sons was turned into a wolf, and with the intestines of the other, Loki was bound. Also, the giantess Skade, daughter of Tjatse and wife of Njord, was transformed into a monstrous viper. The gods hung her over Loki’s back, so that her venom dripped onto his face. Loki’s wife, Sigyn, loved him so much that she remained faithful to him. She begs to be allowed to stay with him forever. And so Sigyn stays weeping beside her husband, holding a bowl in which she tries to catch the poisonous drops. When the bowl is full, she hastens to empty it. Then the venom that flows from the venomous teeth burns Loki’s eyes and his screams shake all of Midgard. This is how Loki will stay until the last Ragnarok„. Not only Loki was punished, but also his children: the goddess Hel was sent to Niflheim, the wolf Fenrir was bound to a rock one and a half kilometers underground and the serpent Jormungandr was thrown into the ocean that surrounds the Earth.
Greek mythology also recalls this event, with Zeus deciding that the Titan Prometheus should be punished for giving fire to humans. The Titan who created humans was chained to the Caucasus Mountain, where every day an eagle would eat his liver. Overnight the liver would regenerate, so Prometheus went through this torment daily. At one point, Zeus sent him to the Underworld with the stone to which he was bound. The Titan returned to the Caucasus mountain only after a centaur, Chiron, took his place in the Underworld. In Georgia there is a similar story in which the god Amirani was chained to the Caucasus Mountain for teaching people how to use metals. Just like in the Greek myth, a vulture would eat his liver daily, which would regenerate overnight.
Punished by the gods „for loving humans too much„, as Aeschylus wrote in Prometheus Bound („Prometheus Desmotis” in Greek), the Titan never regretted his action, despite his suffering: „This eagle is the proof of my freedom before heaven. He pecks at my liver, but what Zeus wants is to kill my memory, to make me forget that I stole fire and gave it to humans„. However, „I did not steal fire to throw it in the mud„. By rescuing the humans from „the stupidity in which they lay„, Prometheus made them „curios and craftsmen„. Before receiving the heavenly „fire”, people „did not know how to use either bricks or wood to build their bright houses, they lived like voracious ants, in dark burrows dug under the ground„. In addition to architecture, the Titan gave them the astronomy, teaching them to observe „the sunrise and, what is even harder to recognize, the sunset of the stars„. In Aeschylus’ tragedy, Prometheus boasts that „for them I found the most beautiful of sciences: that of numbers; I composed the combination of letters and founded memory, the mother of the Muses, the soul of life. I was the first to put cattle to the yoke (…) Through me, harnessed horses have learned to draw chariots, for the pleasure of abundance. No one but me has invented those winged carriages in which navigators can wander the seas (…) Through the saving mixtures I taught them to make, all diseases are cured. I have established, in all branches, the art of predicting the future (…) The useful treasures buried in the earth: copper, iron, silver and gold, who could boast of discovering them before me?„. The Titan’s sacrifice was also noted by philosopher Karl Marx, who wrote that „Prometheus is the noblest saint and martyr in the philosophical calendar„, referring to progressive thinkers who suffer for their beliefs. „Only I„, said the Titan, „have prevented human beings from populating the land of Hades, struck down by lightning bolts„.
Surprisingly, chapter 53 of the Book of Isaiah in the Old Testament seems to describe the story of Prometheus / Enki’s chaining: ” Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of Yahweh revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of Yahweh, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Yahweh hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors” (53:1-12). In this biblical chapter we can easily recognize both the god who suffered for mankind and the one who punished him.
Was Prometheus / Enki truly chained in the Caucasus Mountains on the border between Europe and Asia? In The Critical History of Romanians, philologist Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu spoke of the Caucasus Mountains in the territory north of the Lower Sea in Antiquity, invoking nine ancient and medieval historical and literary sources. In the early Middle Ages it was considered that the Caucasus Mountains were in the vicinity of the Danube and north of the Black Sea. Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus showed in the 4th century AD that during the invasion of the Huns there was a country called Caucaland or the Land of Caucasus in today’s Romania. In that territory there was also a Dacian tribe of Caucoens, mentioned in the 2nd century AD by Roman geographer Ptolemy, located by Romanian historian and archaeologist Vasile Parvan in the so-called Szeklerland (an area in present-day Romania) and by Romanian historian and archaeologist Constantin Daicoviciu in the Bacau area (situated in Moldavia region of Romania). For researcher Patsh, Caucaland was somewhere in the Banat Mountains (part of the Western Romanian Carpathians). The Chronicle of Nestor from the 9th century, the oldest Russian chronicle, speaks of the Caucasus or Hungarian Mountains west of the Black Sea. Greek writer Apollodorus from the 2nd century BC mentioned a Caucasus in Scythia (the name given by ancient Greeks to Dacia, the land north of the Danube, in the northwest of the Black Sea, present-day Romania), where legends say the Titan Prometheus was chained: „he ordered Vulcan to nail his body on the Caucasus Mountain. This mountain is in Scithia, where Prometheus remained chained for many years„. Archbishop Eustathios of Thessaloniki also spoke of the same Caucasus, calling it the „boreal Caucasus” or the northern Caucasus, as opposed to the other Caucasus, located between the Black and Caspian seas. „However, that Caucasus, on which, according to legends, Prometheus was crucified, does not appear on geographical maps; so say the ancient authors„, stated Eustathios. For the Roman historian Florus, the Carpathians Mountains near the Olt river were called Caucasus. In a small cosmographic treatise, the Roman geographer Julius Honorius referred in the 5th century to two groups of mountains with the name Caucasus, one on European territory, corresponding to the southeastern Carpathians of Dacia, and another in the east of the Black Sea, on Asian territory. According to the historian Jordanes from the 6th century, the Caucasus Mountains stretch as far as Scythia, where the Danube splits to flow into the Black Sea. Romanian philosopher Vasile Lovinescu wrote the following: „it is known that there was first a polar Caucasus, because it is said that Prometheus was bound to the Pole Axis. Then there is the modern Caucasus, which is different from the one recorded by the ancients„. In one of his epigrams, in the first century AD, the Roman poet Marcus Valerius Martialis placed the scene of Prometheus’ chaining in the same land of the Dacians from the north of the Danube: „Soldier Marcellinus, you are now leaving to take on your shoulders the northern sky of the hyperboreans and the stars of the Getic Pole, which barely move. Here are the rocks of Prometheus. Here is also that famous mountain from the legends. Soon you will see all these things with your own eyes. When you contemplate these rocks in which the immense pain of the old man resounds, you will say: Yes, he was even tougher than these hard stones, and to these words you will still be able to add that he who was able to suffer these torments was indeed able to create human genius„. The historian Herodorus, who lived before Herodotus, also links the story of Prometheus to Dacia, arguing that the titan was a king of Scythia. Romanian writer Elie Dolcu, in The Romanians, an Ancient Spirituality, noted: „Prometheus, of Pelasgian descent, a titan, is chained in the Caucasus Mountains, in today’s Dobrogea, in Macin (Arubium), and where the natives share, in a broad sense, the sufferings of Prometheus, in this land which Euripides and Ammianus, as well as Marcellinus, find ‘inhospitable’„.
If all these sources speak of the Caucasus Mountain, for the Greek poet Hesiod the Titan was shackled to the middle column of Mount Atlas. As Romanian ethnologist Nicolae Densusianu noted in The Prehistoric Dacia, that column „was considered in meridional legends as the miraculous column of the Earth, which supported the starry vault of the sky, or the northern pole of the Universe„. He also added that „according to the old Greek geographical traditions, this legendary column of the sky was located in the extreme or northern parts of the known world, on the high and vast mountain in the land of the Hyperboreans, called Atlas„. The legends of the Greeks say that the Titan Atlas, punished by Zeus to hold up the sky on his shoulders, was transformed into a mountain by the demigod Perseus, who petrified him with the help of Medusa’s head. In the Odyssey, Homer also refers to the „long columns” on Mount Atlas, which separate the sky from the earth. In the 2nd century BC, Apollodorus of Athens established, based on older texts, that Mount Atlas, which held up the northern pole of the sky, was not in North Africa, but in the land of the Hyperboreans (a Pelasgian population from northern Thrace or the Lower Danube area), Dacia or Scythia (modern-day Romania). Mount Atlas was nothing but the ancient Caucasus, to which the Titan who brought the „fire” of the gods was bound.
If Prometheus was chained on the territory of present-day Romania, which is the Caucasus / Atlas mountain from the legends? According to ancient and medieval descriptions, the place of the Titan’s torment can only be one: the Omu Peak in the Bucegi Mountains (part of the Southern Carpathians group of the Carpathian Mountains, located in central Romania). Here there are three rocks similar to the columns of Mount Atlas. Nicolae Densusianu wrote about them in The Prehistoric Dacia: „near this majestic column on the Omu Peak, two other pieces of rock, in the form of two archaic monoliths, lift their heads, as I mentioned above, and have had certain religious destinies. One of these mysterious stones presents us with a megalithic sculpture representing the head, neck, chest and part of the wings of a gigantic eagle facing the main column. This monumental figure is that mythological eagle, to which the legends of Antiquity attributed the role of Prometheus’ tormenter„. Also, the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus wrote in the first century BC that „in the middle of the Caucasus is a rock, or rather a piece of rock, with a circumference of ten stades and a height of four stades, and here the inhabitants of the neighboring areas show the cave of Prometheus, the nest of the vulture and the traces of the chains and shackles with which he was fettered„. Indeed, the main rock on the Omu Peak has some bizarre grooves that can be considered traces of giant chains, the most obvious being the one on the upper part. Also, the rock in the shape of an eagle fits the Greek legend, in which Zeus’ eagle daily ate the Titan’s liver. Even the name of the peak („The Man” in English) confirms that it is the place of Prometheus’ torment. In the Bible Adam, considered to be the first man, represents an alter-ego of the god Enki / Prometheus, who created humans in his image and likeness. Although angels are often called „humans” in Hebrew literature, Adam / Enki remains the Man, being the first. Therefore, Omu Peak bears his name.
The Romanian folk legends claim that the Bucegi Mountains were a huge Dacian sanctuary and the cornerstone of the Romanian people. It has been discovered that its peaks register high levels of radiation, but sporadic research has failed to uncover their origin or cause. Tourists often speak of miraculous healings that occur on the peaks of Omu, Doamnele („The Ladies”) and Batrana („The Old Lady”). It is said that the Carpathian Mountains are crossed by long tunnels of hundreds of kilometers, with such huge caves also existing in Bucegi. In the area known as the „Seven Springs” in the eastern part of the massif, called by the Dacians the „Zone of Immortality”, there is a spring with the purest water on earth, Romanian and French researchers having established that the bacteria level in this spring is zero (a unique case in the world). In 1993, the Bucegi Mountains experienced a bizarre month-long earthquake, with several hundred earthquakes occurring only in August.
Prometheus was said to have been sent to the Underworld with the rock he was bound to, only returning to the mountain when the centaur Chiron took his place. Romanian folk songs recount this story, keeping alive the memory of the tormented god in ancient Dacia. The hero, who is called Corbea the Brave, Corbea the Fearless, Badea or Marza, was a „son of a lord”, a „wise” man (Enki was the god of wisdom and intelligence), with a titanic voice (as Densusianu calls it), who „made the mountains tremble when he spoke„. The hero was locked up in a „cursed, damp and poisoned cave, nine fathoms deep in the earth„, or in a „stone dungeon dug deep into the earth„. Here he lay „crucified face up, with his hands and feet in shackles” or, according to other versions, „in steel shackles and iron chains, sealed to the chest with five liters of silver„. He was imprisoned because he wanted the royal throne, „because he coveted and wore the imperial sword, the emperor’s hat and the lord’s mantle” or because „he wanted the royal mantle„. Prometheus also appears as a rival to Zeus for the throne of the world in Hesiod’s myth. The second reason for his imprisonment in Romanian folk songs seems to have been the theft of fire. The ruler of the country, Stephen Voda (title worn by Romanian rulers, usually added after their names, which comes from the Slavic word „vojevoda„, meaning „voivode, prince, king”), accuses the hero of stealing a winged horse, red as fire, so red that the Sun would hide, a horse that fed only on burning embers, which emitted sparks from its nostrils, which perked up when the wind blew and which mixed with the clouds when it ran, stones sparking in its wake. When the horse neighed, the mountains trembled and the large trees overturned. The hero hid this horse in an underground stone stable, just as Prometheus hid the stolen fire in the stem of a plant. If Zeus sent an eagle to torture the Titan, the hero of Romanian songs was initially tormented by a serpent, like Loki in Norse mythology. According to ancient legends, Prometheus was chained for 30 years; the Romanian hero was tortured in his cave for 27 and a half years, or 32 years in another version. The guardian of his prison is named Valcea, a name resembling Vulcan of the Romans, who chained Prometheus on Zeus’ orders. The hero’s mother asks the ruler to release her son, but he sarcastically replies that he will forgive him „on the bank of the Olt River with three logs from the forest„, that he has betrothed him to a girl from Slatina „carved only with an ax and hewn with a hatchet„, that he has found two giants to be his godparents who „will fed up with his flesh and drink his blood„, or that he will send a gray eagle to torture him (which is a reminiscent of the eagle sent by Zeus to eat the Titan’s liver). After prolonged suffering, the hero escapes from prison using his cunning and becomes the ruler of the country. The poet Leschis in the Little Iliad and Virgil in the Aeneid mention a Hyperborean hero named Coroebos (similar to Corbea), who fought in the Trojan War against the Greeks. Therefore, in Homeric antiquity, there were a series of epic songs about a famous Pelasgian / Hyperborean hero named Coroebos, without the Greeks realizing that the hero from the Carpathian Mountains was the same Titan Prometheus from their own legends.
In other Romanian folk songs Prometheus is called Badiu, Badea or Badu. In ancient Greek, „badus” meant „wise man”, an epithet that suited the god of wisdom Enki / Prometheus. If Hesiod believed that the Titan who created mankind sacrificed animals for the Olympian gods, the Romanian hero was a Turks’ butcher and a haham of Jews (who cut meat according to Jewish rituals). For unknown reasons, 700 people from Braila and 8,000 from Bugeac tied the hero not to a rock, but to the chimney of a house, „in the heat of the fire, where it’s hard for the hero„. Badea remained tied there until he was released by Marcu the Brave. Densusianu wrote about this Marcu that he „represents Mars in Romanian heroic songs, the ancient Pelasgian god of battles and fights, about whom the Getae (i.e. the Dacians) said he was born in their land„. In other words, he was Marduk, the son of Enki. When Marcu the Brave went to free Badiu,
„He put his saddle on a dark horse
And when he mounted
The earth trembled,
The clouds scattered,
The water in the Prut became turbulent„.
His appearance created panic among the Turks:
„Who is that madman?
Either he’s insane or mad,
Or he’s ruined by women.„
The god Mars is depicted similary in Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica when he went against the Argonauts: „Behold, from the mountains of the Getae comes the terrible Mars, raising behind him an immense cloud of dust over the fields of Scythia„.
After learning that the Watchers had shared the „secrets of heaven” with mortals, Anu sent the Celestials led by Enlil to Earth. They imprisoned the Watchers in the Underworld and Enki, their leader, was chained on the top of Omu Peak from the Bucegi Mountains. At some point Marduk freed his father, who was not just tied up there, but crucified. On a Dacian gem, god Zamolxis is depicted crucified on a cross; on the gem is written „Orpheus Bakkhos” and the Moon and seven stars are depicted above the god’s head. Considering that Zamolxis was the title given by the Dacians to their supreme deities, it is possible that this Zamolxis is the deity chained on Omu Peak, namely Enki, which is suggested both by the symbol of the Moon and the name „Bakkhos” – Bacchus of the Romans or Dionysus of the Greeks (the same Enki). The gem also calls this god „Orpheus„, a character of divine origin, who came from Thrace and was beheaded. The oldest record of Orpheus’ beheading is one of the tablets discovered in Tartaria, also in Dacia, where his head is depicted impaled on a cross. And again we find an allusion to crucifixion. At Karnak, in Egypt, there is a statue of a crucified character, made long before the emergence of the Romans, who are supposed to have invented the crucifixion. The god Amun was worshiped at Karnak, the same Enki, and there is a good chance that he was the crucified character. In Cyprus, the birthplace of the god Adonis (also Enki), a figurine from the Stone Age was discovered, which depicts a man with his hands stretched out as if he were crucified. The idol of Pomos (the village where it was discovered), made around 3,000 BC, has a miniature male-shaped amulet around his neck in the same position, which resemble the crucifixes worn by Christians. Since Cyprus was considered the birthplace of Adonis and his lover, the goddess Aphrodite, we again encounter a connection between Enki and crucifixion. Besides, the idol of Pomos was made in the style of the Hamangia culture of Dobrogea (a Romanian region), indicating a new connection to Dacia, the place of the god’s crucifixion. Furthermore, according to Mexican legends, the god Quetzalcoatl (Enki) had been crucified on a wooden cross by ungrateful people whom he had come to save. In his work Antiquities of Mexico (1831), Edward King, Viscount of Kingsborough, showed that the ancient inhabitants of the Yucatan peninsula worshiped one of the Bakab gods, who had also been crucified on a wooden cross. If the legend is true, it may have been borrowed from that of Quetzalcoatl and attributed to one of the four Bakab. Christianity did the same, attributing the crucifixion not to Enki, but to Enlil.
It was believed that Orpheus was beheaded by the sacred maenads (female followers of the god Dionysus). His head was thrown into the Naparis river, which from that moment on was considered sacred, and all those who wished to live according to Orpheus’ law were baptized in its waters. If „Orpheus Bakkhos” or one of the Zamolxis gods is Enki, there is a similar character in the New Testament: John the Baptist. His name (Ioannes in Greek) is taken from that of the Babylonian Oannes, an alter-ego of Enki. Christianity calls him the „Forerunner of Jesus” because he arrived before Jesus, which seems to be borrowed from the story of the ancient gods, as Enki was the first to arrive on our planet, before Enlil. In fact, in Christianity, John is the one who opened the way for Jesus; in an ancient Babylonian hymn, Sin / Enki was „first among all, the powerful one (…) who opens the path for the gods and his brothers„. In the ancient cults of Enki, the god of waters, the ritual of baptism was often practiced; in Christianity, John was the one who baptized with water from the Jordan River, just as all those who wanted to live according to Orpheus’ law were baptized in the waters of the Naparis River. In Christian mythology, John descended into hell after his death to inform the dead of Jesus’ coming; Enki was also imprisoned in the Underworld, and in Greek myths Orpheus descended there to save his wife. The Gnostics did not believe the official version of Christianity regarding John. In Pistis Sophia he is the reincarnation of another prophet, Elijah, with whom the power of an aeon was mixed: „the power of the Little Iao, the one from the Middle, and the soul of the prophet Elijah were united in John the Baptist (…) And when I found out that you did not understand what I told you about the soul of Elijah, which was united in John the Baptist, I answered you openly, face to face, saying: ‘Rejoice to receive John the Baptist; he is Elijah, of whom I said he would come’” (Chapter 7). Just like Orpheus, John was a prophet. And just like him, he was beheaded. We don’t know if Enki ever suffered the same fate, as his decapitation is not described in the world legends. However, in Norse mythology, the giant Mimir („The Wise One”), renowned for his knowledge and wisdom, was beheaded during the first war of the gods; Odin kept his head, which he often used to gain secret knowledge. Considering that Enki was the god of wisdom in most cultures, Mimir could be his alter-ego. Also, in Celtic legends, Bran, the god of the Underworld (just like Enki), lost his head. Decapitations were not uncommon in the world legends, there being many more besides those of Orpheus, John and Mimir. For example, in Egypt, Horus beheaded his mother, Isis, and the god Thoth replaced her head with one of a cow. In Hinduism, Shiva cut off one of Brahma’s five heads, beheaded his son Ganesha, replacing his head with an elephant one, and created two demons who beheaded his father-in-law, Daksha. The goddess Kali had the habit of beheading demons and she is depicted with one of their heads in her hand and a necklace made of others around her neck. Mohini, one of the god Vishnu’s avatars, cut off the demon Rahu’s head. For the Aztecs, the god Huitzilopochtli beheaded his sister, Coyolxauhqui, and threw her head into the sky, where it became the Moon. In Babylon, after killing Tiamat, the god Marduk „with his heavenly weapon cut off her head„. And in Japan Izanagi cut off his son’s head, whose birth had killed the goddess Izanami.
As Enki was not killed, but only crucified on Omu Peak, we eliminate the possibility of his decapitation. Although the Greeks claimed he was released by the demigod Hercules and the Scandinavians that he broke his own chains, Marduk is his savior in Romanian ballads. And the release of the supreme leader of the Watchers triggered the second great war of the gods, which led to a true Apocalypse.
