Ut-napishtim and the king of Uruk go on a hunt for the heralded plant of life, find it, and Gilgamesh heads home via the sea with his prize plant. Given the symbols alluded to in the Epic, those officially ascribed to Enki, lord of the waters, the plant is taken away from Gilgamesh, indicating Enki’s original genetic design constraining mankind to a finite life span, namely 120 years. Even though Gilgamesh was more than likely to live well beyond the mere mortal lifespan cap, his destiny was not to be immortal like Noah and the gods. A similar hero of old, Alexander the Great of Macedonia, suffered the exact same dilemma and consequences as Gilgamesh. Both demigods perished here on earth, heroes of old, men of renown as described in the Hebrew edited version of the Bible, New International Version.
Genesis 6:4 (NIV)
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had had children by them. They were the heroes of old, the men of renown.
Gilgamesh’s Mother, Ninsun, would be a terrific candidate to study for the genealogy of the Anunnaki since she had a pure blood line. The mother of a hero of old, a king of great renown. Obviously, having knowledge about Gilgamesh’s grave site makes one wonder where his DNA analysis report is filed and who has access to it? See the press release published in 2003. A press release from the BBC is provided shortly.
As for other deeds the hero Gilgamesh accomplished, also known as Nimrod in the Bible, again from Genesis we have the following details:
Genesis 10:8-12 (NIV)
Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth, He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech (Uruk), Akkad and Calneh, in Shinar (Sumer). From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
Zecharia Sitchin dreamt of having an ancient astronaut’s body from Nibiru genetically analyzed, validating his hypothesis on the Sumerian gods, hopefully in his lifetime. I was listening to a program via YouTube last week and heard an old pre-recorded program shown in which Zecharia Sitchin was being interviewed, and the aged and soft-spoken scholar mentioned on the Coast to Coast AM Radio program with George Noory, his expressed desire to see his theories validated with science correlating mankind’s missing link origins with the archetypal entwined serpent strands of Anunnaki DNA. Perhaps the “junk” human DNA [86], of which approximately 95% of it has been deemed by science for lack of understanding, was part of the original Anunnaki DNA that had been inactivated in the primitive workers. Comparing the original Anunnaki DNA with human DNA would most likely dispel any further reservations about the Anunnaki genesis for humanity’s creation. In my humble opinion, given the fact that grave sites have been unearthed and physical anthropology has been focused on the Sumer region since the turn of the century, this DNA analysis has long been accomplished. The results of such a study would certainly be hidden knowledge from the masses.
Saddam Hussein hired a team of German archeologists to find Gilgamesh’s grave in the city of Uruk. The city was mapped using a magnetometer [68] as reported in a press release from the BBC April 2003 [74].
Gilgamesh Tomb Believed Found

Archaeologists in Iraq believe they may have found the lost tomb of King Gilgamesh - the subject of the oldest "book" in history.
The Epic Of Gilgamesh - written by a Middle Eastern scholar 2,500 years before the birth of Christ - commemorated the life of the ruler of the city of Uruk, from which Iraq gets its name.
Now, a German-led expedition has discovered what is thought to be the entire city of Uruk - including, where the Euphrates once flowed, the last resting place of its famous King.
"I don't want to say definitely it was the grave of King Gilgamesh, but it looks very similar to that described in the epic," Jorg Fassbinder, of the Bavarian department of Historical Monuments in Munich, told the BBC World Service's Science in Action programme.
Magnetic
In the book - actually a set of inscribed clay tablets - Gilgamesh was described as having been buried under the Euphrates, in a tomb apparently constructed when the waters of the ancient river parted following his death.
"We found just outside the city an area in the middle of the former Euphrates River, the remains of such a building which could be interpreted as a burial," Mr. Fassbinder said.
He said the amazing discovery of the ancient city under the Iraqi desert had been made possible by modern technology.
"By differences in magnetization in the soil, you can look into the ground," Mr. Fassbinder added.
"The difference between mud bricks and sediments in the Euphrates River gives a very detailed structure."
This creates a magnetogram, which is then digitally mapped, effectively giving a town plan of Uruk.
'Venice in the desert'
"The most surprising thing was that we found structures already described by Gilgamesh," Mr. Fassbinder stated.
"We covered more than 100 hectares. We have found garden structures and field structures as described in the epic, and we found Babylonian houses."
But he said the most astonishing find was an incredibly sophisticated system of canals.
"Very clearly, we can see in the canals some structures showing that flooding destroyed some houses, which means it was a highly developed system.
"[It was] like Venice in the desert."
The temple complexes in Uruk were specified as the Eanna District and the Anu District, both of which were dedicated to the Anunnaki gods and Council members Inanna and Anu, respectively. The Anu District dates back to the times of Eridu, considered to be one of the oldest and most important cities of Sumer. Temples served both an important religious function and state functions. Gilgamesh’s direct knowledge and interaction with the likes of Inanna and Anu make the story even more compelling. These are not conjured up gods, but living beings that regularly visit Uruk and take residence in their impressive temples therein.
Saddam Hussein’s interest in rebuilding Babylon, Marduk’s gateway of the gods, was supposedly driven by his belief that he was a reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar [75]. Also, he hired a team of Germans to run a magnetometer over the ancient site of Uruk, during the first Gulf war in 1991. In order to gain access to the site, a massive bypass canal was built to divert the water where the famous reeds grew, away from the Uruk area. This dried up the region allowing easy archeological access. This domestic archeological digging activity seemed somewhat crazy to be focused on while being overthrown by the world’s most powerful military, the United States of America?
An independent archaeologist that discussed a direct link between the ancient ET presence in Sumer and the US focus on the regime of Saddam Hussein, is William Henry. Henry's main thesis was that there existed in Sumerian times a Stargate, used by the Anunnaki/Nephilim to travel back and forth between Nibiru and the Earth [53]. Henry focuses on the following scene described by Sitchin's interpretation of a cuneiform tablet of an Uruk ritual text:
