Bilgamesh Part-3:
Goddess "ISHTAR" Sumerian "INANNA"
Referring to achievents of Bilgamesh (Gilgamesh), it is said: [19]
"In URUK he built walls, a great rampart, and the temple of blessed Eanna for the god of the firmament Anu, and for Ishtar the goddess of love. Look at it still today: the outer wall where the cornice runs, it shines with the brilliance of copper; and the inner wall, it has no equal. Touch the threshold, it is ancient. Approach Eanna the dwelling of Ishtar, our lady of love and war, the like of which no later-day king, no man alive can equal. Climb upon the wall of Uruk; walk along it, I say; regard the foundation terrace and examine the masonry: is it not burnt brick and good? The seven sages laid the foundations. The seven sages laid the foundations."
{Correction: I also referred to this citing in Bilgamesh Part-1 where the word EANNA was, by mistake, shown as ENANNA in two places. It should have been EANNA. Hence this correction note.}
About the name "ISHTAR":
"Ishtar (Sumerian Inanna) was worshipped in the great temple in Uruk, together with Anu. She is the queen of heaven, and as goddess of love and of war an equivocal character.; ‘an awful and lovely goddess’ like Aphrodite." [20]
The name "ISHTAR" was the Semitized form for the goddess of love while the Sumerian version is given as INANNA. Ishtar’s Greek version was the goddess "APHRODITE". All of these names are different versions in Turkish of the words describing "wife", "mother" and "woman". This so-called "Semitic" goddess name ISHTAR has two aspects to her name. In one, she is Turkish word "ESHTIR" (ESHTUR) meaning "she is wife", "she is mate"; additionally the name ISHTAR is the Turkish name "ISHITAR" (ISHITIR) meaning "it lights", "it is light", and additionally "it is enlightenment". Thus in the first meaning, "ESHTIR", goddess "ISHTAR" personifies "wife", "mother" and "woman" who is the "goddess of love" and also the other half of man. In this representation, she is also the cause of all sorts of fights among men who cannot tolerate her to go astray to another man. In this context she is also a personification of "fighting".
In the second meaning, that is, Turkish ISHITAR (ISHITIR), the name Ishtar personifies the "sun" which lights and also "enlightens." Similarly "mother" also "hears" (Tr. "ISHITIR" meaning "hears") her children, and teaches and enlightens them. Man’s enlightenment is achieved by learning and gaining knowledge and wisdom.
The light of the Sun is an inseparable part of the Sun, that is, the Sun and its light are always together (i.e., mates). Similarly, "mental powers of man", that is, his/her enlightenment also stays with him/her. Because they are "mates".
A third meaning of ISHTAR is Turkish ISITIR meaning "She warms", "she heats," and additionally "it is heat", "it is warmth". In this case again the Sun and the Sun’s heat and heating have been personified as a female person. But "LOVE" of woman also excites and gives warmth like a flame. Hence she is the personification of "love and warmth" as expected of mothers and wives. In fact The English term "LOVE" is nothing but the rearranged and disguised form of Turkish word "ALAV (ALEV)" meaning "flame, heat, fire". "LOVE" is "ALEV"! Those who fall in love are mataphorically "on fire" for the one they are in love with.
Thus the name ISHTAR was not a "Semitic" name in origin as they would like us to believe, but rather a term which combined a number of ancient Turkish words into one restructured word which has been portrayed as Semitic. Evidently the ancient Babylonians and their followers have done a very effective language transformation job and conned all of us all this time.
About the name "INANNA":
When the Sumerian name INANNA (i.e., Ishtar) is separated as "AN-ANNI", it is the Turkish expression "AN ANNE" (GÖK ANNE) meaning "Sky Mother". In other words, in one meaning "she is the queen of heaven" as Ishtar was described to be. Her personifying the "Sky-Mother" deifies her and makes her a "goddess". Both the Sky and the Sun can metaphorically be regarded as "Sky-Mother" because they are the ones who provide space and life for all living beings on earth and most likely in other billions of "earth-like" places in the sky.
In the second meaning it is the Turkish expression "HAN ANNA" (Han Anne, Han Ana) meaning "Lord Mother". Thus even Sumerian INANNA is Turkish and is a personification of the "mother", "wife" and "woman" concept. While "mother" is mother to her children, she is also the wife to the children’s father.
In this personification she is regarded as "goddess" by calling her by the adjective "HAN" meaning "lord". It is also important to note that in Turkish, "woman" is also called "HANIM" (HANUM) meaning "lady" or "my Lady" but additionally it means "I am lord". The mother, the lady of the home is indeed the lord of the home. In one more meaning in Turkish, the word "HANUM" (HANIM) also means "my palace, my home" where "woman" has the utmost importance. This also indicates the value given to women in Turkish society since very ancient times.
Sumerian AN or EN are versions of Turkish "HAN" - meaning "lord" and also meaning "palace". The Sumerian "ANNA" or "ANNI" as presented in the name INANNA is nothing but the Turkish "ANNA, ANNE, ANNI, ANA" all meaning "mother" and they have all been used in the Turkish language up to present times. Additionally, Sumerian word "AMA" meaning "mother" is a shifted form of Turkish "ANA" meaning "mother". Evidently, the readers of the Sumerian texts presented the word "ANA" in the form "AMA" in order to distance Sumerian from Turkish.
About the name "EANNA":
Bilgamesh had built in URUK "the temple of EANNA for the god of the firmament Anu, and for Ishtar the goddess of love". The Sumerian word EANNA is a composite word which is made up of "E + ANNA" where Sumerian word "E" means "house" and/or "temple". ANNA is a name. The Sumemerian "E" is a form of Turkish "EV" meaning "house". When we say "TANRI EVI" in Turkish it means a "temple of God". It is most likely that the readers of the Sumerian texts dropped the letter ‘V’ from "EV" and came up with Sumerian ‘E’ meaning ‘house’. It is admitted that frequently, the final consonant is dropped in Sumerian words.
In this regard John L. Hayes writes the following: [21]
"One of the thorniest questions in Sumerian involves the status of word-final and syllable-final consonants. According to most Sumerologists, certain consonants, when in word-final position, were not pronounced."
The consonant in the word "EV" must have been one such dropped consonant in Sumerian texts. If the original Sumerian word for "house" was "EV", then dropping the final consonant "V" from it would certainly alienate Sumerian from Turkish. The purpose of this was most likely intended to distance Sumerian from Turkish.
John L. Hayes also writes the following: [22]
"Many Sumerologists believe that Sumerian had a phoneme usually symbolized by /dr/; its exact phonetic significance is unsure. Its existence has been proven in only a few cases. Because of the difficulties of proving its existence in specific words, it is usually not indicated in transcription; instead, in the standard sign-lists and in most transcriptions it is reflected as d."
The so-called phoneme "dr" in this citing from John L. Hayes is nothing but the Turkish suffix "-dir, -dIr, -dur, -dür, -tir, -tIr, -tur, -tür" which comes at the end of all definitions in Turkish. Once this suffix is dropped off from Turkish words and phrases, Turkish loses its most important characteristic. Evidently the Babylonian Semites, in restructuring and destroying the ancient Turkish language, removed its most important feature from Turko-Sumerian. Hence the presented Sumerian became a "unique" language not resembling Turkish. This deliberate confusion of ancient Turkish was designed to obliterate Turkish and the worldwide civilization that it represented. This confusion also opened the door for the usurpation of the ancient Turko-Sumerian civilization into the so-called "Semitic" civilization. No wonder Babylonians and Sumerologists removed the godname "TUR" from Sumerian texts and replaced it with the word "MAR" without any justification. Genesis 11-1 states this intentional evil act by saying:
Genesis 11-1: "Now all the earth continued to be of one language and of one set of words".
Genesis 11-6 and 7: "After that Jehowa said: "look! They are one people and there is one language for them all, and this is what they start to do. Why, now there is nothing that they may have in mind to do that will be unattainable for them. Come now! Let us go down and there confuse their language that they may not listen to one another's language."
So the so-called Babylonia and its overly numerous magician priests had the evil idea of destroying that ancient Turkish language which the world spoke, and in order to achieve that ambition, they concocted all kinds of language alterations which made Turkish into many so-called "Semitic" and "Indo-European" languages which never existed before. In the meantime they described Sumerian which was nothing but ancient Turkish as a "dead and isolated language that had no living or dead language like it". This is how Babylonian-based science was made to function.
Since the temple EANNA was built for the universal creator sky God ANU, (Turkish "HAN-O"), it was therefore a temple for the Sky-Father-God (Tr. "GÖK ATA TANRI"). In other words, a HOUSE OF GOD. Additionally, the Sumerian word ANNA is the Turkish word "ANNA, ANNE, ANA" meaning "mother". Above I noted that both the names ISHTAR and INANNA meant "mother", "wife" and "woman". Thus the Sumerian EANNA (E-ANNA) means "The Temple of Mother" or "The Temple for Mother" where "mother’ is personified by the names ISHTAR and INANNA who were the heavenly Mother or the Sky Mother. In this concept, the universal creator God is both "mother" and "father" which brings in the "duality" aspect of the creator God. Both "father" and "mother" are creators and hence are "god-like" and "goddess-like". It is useful to recall here that the ancient Turanian Tur/Turk peoples were also "ancestor" worshipping peoples. That is why they erected monumental tomb stones for their ancestors.
Furthermore, since ISHTAR represented the Sun, Sunlight, and the Fire of Sky, and INANNA represented the "AN ANNA" the Sky-Mother", the temple E-ANNA was also the temple for sun, sunlight, sky and the sky-mother. Thus E-ANNA was a general temple for the ancient Turanian Sky-God concept that included all of these sub concepts. Hence we see that even the temple name EANNA (E-ANNA) was Turkish in origin for an ancient Turanian religious concept.
Here it is useful to remember the Anatolian (Phrygian) Goddess so-called "CYBELE", also called "The Great Mother", that is the goddess of nature. She was also identified with Greek Rhea. [23] The name CYBELE seems to have been made up from the Turkish word "BILICI" meaning "one who knows". This is verified by the name "SIBYL" which is defined as: [24]
"SIBYL. 1. In ancient Greece and Rome, any of several women who prophesied under supposed inspiration of some deity, chiefly of Apollo, and delivered their oracles in a frenzied state. 2. A fortune-teller; sorceress."
These women were given "SOMA" juice or so-called "crazy-honey", in Turkish "deli-bal", before they were to deliver their "inspired" foretelling of the future. But "foretelling" in Turkish is "BILICILIK, FALCILIK". Hence the name "SIBYL", like the name CYBELE" is made up from Turkish word "BILICI" (> "BILISY") meaning "one who knows", or with F to B transformation, SIBYL is from "FALCI" meaning "fortune teller". Evidently this was a good source of money making in ancient Greece and Rome. Foretelling has been known to be a trademark of the wanderers.
About the name "APHRODITE":
The supposedly Greek name APHRODITE is another stolen name from Turkish. This Greek name APHRODITE is actually made up of two Turkish words, namely, "AFROD (AVRAT) + ITI" together meaning "she is wife", "she is woman". Turkish "AVRAT" means "wife, woman, mother". Aphrodite as "goddess of love" is nothing but a personification of wife and woman.
A second Turkish meaning of APHRODITE becomes clear when the word is rearranged letter-by-letter as "PHR-OD-ITE-A" is the Turkish expression "BIR OD IDI O" meaning "one-fire she was". This refers both to the fieryness of the woman and also the Sun. In ancient Turkish culture the "sun" was also personified as a beautiful woman.
In view of all this, it is clear that all of these very ancient Turkish-origin words are at least 6,000 years old in the form INANNA, 4,000-plus years old in the form "ISHTAR" and probably 3,000-plus years old in the form of "APHRODITE".
Hence the so-called Akkadian or Semitic name ISHTAR, Greek APHRODITE and Sumerian INANNA are all ancient names made up using Turkish language as the source. Since there is no reference made to Turkish as the source, this is an indication that an act of stealing and obliteration of the ancient Turkish civilization has taken place.
About the name "SHAMASH" Sumerian "UTU"
N. K. Sandars writes: [25]
"When the gods created Gilgamesh they gave him a perfect body. Shamash the glorious sun endowed him with beauty, Adad the god of storm endowed him with courage, the great gods made his beauty perfect, surpassing all others. Two thirds they made him god and one third man."
The name SHAMASH is supposedly the "Akkadian" name for Sun-God, that is, replacing Sumerian "UTU". First of all Sumerian UTU meaning "Sun God" and Turkish "OTO" (ODO (OD-O)) meaning "It is Fire", and Turkish "ATA" meaning "father" are one and the same because the Sun is a creator and Father is a creator. It must be remembered that God is always referred to as "Father" (Ata or Apa). Thus Sumerian name UTU, the name for Sun-God, is a Turkish word. The ancient Turkish words "UT" (OD meaning fire"), "UT" meaning "time", UT (OKUZ) meaning "Bull" and "UT" (ÖT) meaning "to sing" and/or "to speak" are all linguistically as well as theologically related to each other. The Turkish OGUZ and AGUZ concept is embedded in them.
The so-called Semitic name SHAMASH is also a disguised Turkish word describing the sun. SHAMASH in the form "ISHAMASH" is the Turkish word "ISHAMASH" (ISHIMISH) meaning "it is burning brilliantly", "it is giving off brilliant light", "it is glowing" which is, of course, the "SUN". Thus the source of the name SHAMASH is the Turkish verb "ISHIMAK" meaning "to radiate light". Similarly, when the "heating" element inside a light bulb heats to white hot state, it becomes "ISHIMISH" meaning "it is radiating light and heat". The SUN is exactly that, that is, a giant fire radiating brilliant light and "heat".
Presently the Arabic word "SHAMS" for the Sun is nothing but the altered and disguised Turkish word "ISHIMISH". Thus the source for these so-called "Semitic" words for the ancient Turanian Sun-God is in fact the Turkish language contrary to all the denying and disguising verbosity that have been used. Thus even if millions of people are taught that the word SHAMASH or SHAMS is "Semitic", it will not change the fact that the source of these words is Turkish. A falsehood is still a falsehood irrespective of whether it is believed as "truth" by one person or millions of people. A large number of believers does not make a "falsehood" a "fact".
The name ENGIDU (ENKIDU):
The name ENGIDU (ENKIU) represents a young man in the Sumerian epic story of Bilgamesh. The following is a description of him as written by N. K. Sandars in his book. He writes: [26]
"So the goddess (Aruru) conceived an image of her mind, and it was of the stuff of Anu of the firmament. She dipped her hands in water and pinched off clay, she let it fall in the wilderness, and noble ENKIDU was created. There was virtue in him of the god of war, of Ninurta himself. His body was rough, he had long hair like a woman’s; it waved like the hair of Nisaba, the goddess of corn. His body was covered with matted hair like Samuqan’s, the god of cattle. He was innocent of mankind; he knew nothing of the cultivated land.
Enkidu ate grass in the hills with the gazelle and jostled with wild beasts at the water-holes; he had joy of the water with the herds of wild game."
Similarly Will Durant writes: [27]
"Aruru kneads a bit of clay, spits upon it, and moulds from it the satyr Engidu, a man with the strength of a boar, the mane of a lion, and the speed of a bird. Engidu does not care for the society of men, but turns and lives with the animals".
These descriptions of ENGIDU (ENKIDU) actually represent the young peasant boys of the village. At a young age village boys were asked to attend lambs and goats in the nearby fields, and later on as they grew older they would work in all kinds of hard work that village life required of them. By the time they were teenagers, they were well developed and powerful. They would tend herds of sheep, cattle and horses, and thus become extremely familiar with them. Young boys in the village were called by the Turkish name "GEDE" (GIDE, GEDA, OLA, OGLAN, ÇOCUK). Hence the name ENGIDU personifies a young man of the village. This we will see below when we analyse the name ENGIDU.
Encyclopaedia Britannica World Language Dictionary defines the term "satyr" as: [28] "In Greek mythology, a woodland deity in human form, having pointed ears, pug nose, short tail and budding horns, and of wanton nature." The mythological Satyr is an imaginary being combining man and goat features.
Interestingly, the Turkish word "OGLAK" maning "kid" or "young goat" is similar to the word "OGLAN" meaning "boy". Additionally in Turkish, the word "GIDIK", or in short "GIDI", also means "kid", that is, the "baby goat". These similarities in the Turkish names for "young boy" and "young goat" could have been the reason for the ancient Greeks to come up with the mythologic name "Satyr" as defined above which is really a putdown expression against the ancient Turanians.
It is important to note here that the English term "KID", meaning both "baby goat" and "child", has the features of these Turkish words, that is, "GIDIK" (GIDI) meaning "baby goat" and "GEDE" meaning "young boy". Hence this English term too has been usurped from Turkish and Sumerian.
With this backgrond information let us now turn to the name ENGIDU (ENKIDU).
The so-called Sumerian name "ENGIDU’ is made from two parts. Namely: "EN + GIDU" which are respectively Turkish "HAN" meaning "lord" and "GEDE" (GIDE, GEDA) meaning "boy". Thus the name ENGIDU means "Lord Boy". Parallel to this expression there is the Turkish saying "GENÇLIK HANLIKTIR" (GENÇLIK SULTANLIKTIR) meaning "one is a lord in his/her youth". Thus Sumerian ENGIDU is a form of the Turkish expression "HAN GEDE" meaning "Lord Boy". Linguists should be able to see how this Turkish expression "HAN GEDE" can be reduced to Sumerian "ENGIDU".
In the epic story of Bilgamesh ("Gilgamesh") ENGIDU (ENKIDU) becomes the closest friend of Bilgamesh which is a true statement because "man" and his "knowledge" are always together and are "closests of friends". Additionally while man, as represented by "ENGIDU", is "mortal" and eventually dies away, his knowledge is passed on to others. Hence it is in a way "immortal" and stays with the rest of the living men almost forever. This "immortallity" of knowledge gives a divine quality to itself.
Thus from all of this it is clear that the Sumerian name ENGIDU (ENKIDU) is also a Turkish based name used as a character name in the Sumerian "BILGAMESH" epic story. Evidently the name "GILGAMESH" was an altered and disguised form of the Turkish expression "BILGAMESH" or "AGILGAMESH". These two words can be changed into "GILGAMESH" by replacing the letter "B" with "G" in the first case, or by dropping front vowel "A" in the second one.
The story names discussed in this paper were words that belonged to ancient Turkish contrary to all kinds of deceitful verbosity trying to make the epic story of BILGAMESH a "Babylonian Semitic story" under the altered name of GILGAMESH. These names are extremely important evidences indicating that the ancient Turanian civilization developed in Sumeria was stolen, abducted, altered, confused, rearranged and then attributed to all kinds of wanderer people except the "Tur/Turk" peoples themselves. These ancient wanderers perpetrated a huge crime against the ancient Turanian Tur/Turk peoples by obliterating their flourishing civilization and redefining its creations and advances under altered names that were then assigned to themselves.

Bilgamesh Part-3:
Goddess "ISHTAR" Sumerian "INANNA"
Referring to achievents of Bilgamesh (Gilgamesh), it is said: [19]
"In URUK he built walls, a great rampart, and the temple of blessed Eanna for the god of the firmament Anu, and for Ishtar the goddess of love. Look at it still today: the outer wall where the cornice runs, it shines with the brilliance of copper; and the inner wall, it has no equal. Touch the threshold, it is ancient. Approach Eanna the dwelling of Ishtar, our lady of love and war, the like of which no later-day king, no man alive can equal. Climb upon the wall of Uruk; walk along it, I say; regard the foundation terrace and examine the masonry: is it not burnt brick and good? The seven sages laid the foundations. The seven sages laid the foundations."
{Correction: I also referred to this citing in Bilgamesh Part-1 where the word EANNA was, by mistake, shown as ENANNA in two places. It should have been EANNA. Hence this correction note.}
About the name "ISHTAR":
"Ishtar (Sumerian Inanna) was worshipped in the great temple in Uruk, together with Anu. She is the queen of heaven, and as goddess of love and of war an equivocal character.; ‘an awful and lovely goddess’ like Aphrodite." [20]
The name "ISHTAR" was the Semitized form for the goddess of love while the Sumerian version is given as INANNA. Ishtar’s Greek version was the goddess "APHRODITE". All of these names are different versions in Turkish of the words describing "wife", "mother" and "woman". This so-called "Semitic" goddess name ISHTAR has two aspects to her name. In one, she is Turkish word "ESHTIR" (ESHTUR) meaning "she is wife", "she is mate"; additionally the name ISHTAR is the Turkish name "ISHITAR" (ISHITIR) meaning "it lights", "it is light", and additionally "it is enlightenment". Thus in the first meaning, "ESHTIR", goddess "ISHTAR" personifies "wife", "mother" and "woman" who is the "goddess of love" and also the other half of man. In this representation, she is also the cause of all sorts of fights among men who cannot tolerate her to go astray to another man. In this context she is also a personification of "fighting".
In the second meaning, that is, Turkish ISHITAR (ISHITIR), the name Ishtar personifies the "sun" which lights and also "enlightens." Similarly "mother" also "hears" (Tr. "ISHITIR" meaning "hears") her children, and teaches and enlightens them. Man’s enlightenment is achieved by learning and gaining knowledge and wisdom.
The light of the Sun is an inseparable part of the Sun, that is, the Sun and its light are always together (i.e., mates). Similarly, "mental powers of man", that is, his/her enlightenment also stays with him/her. Because they are "mates".
A third meaning of ISHTAR is Turkish ISITIR meaning "She warms", "she heats," and additionally "it is heat", "it is warmth". In this case again the Sun and the Sun’s heat and heating have been personified as a female person. But "LOVE" of woman also excites and gives warmth like a flame. Hence she is the personification of "love and warmth" as expected of mothers and wives. In fact The English term "LOVE" is nothing but the rearranged and disguised form of Turkish word "ALAV (ALEV)" meaning "flame, heat, fire". "LOVE" is "ALEV"! Those who fall in love are mataphorically "on fire" for the one they are in love with.
Thus the name ISHTAR was not a "Semitic" name in origin as they would like us to believe, but rather a term which combined a number of ancient Turkish words into one restructured word which has been portrayed as Semitic. Evidently the ancient Babylonians and their followers have done a very effective language transformation job and conned all of us all this time.

About the name "INANNA":
When the Sumerian name INANNA (i.e., Ishtar) is separated as "AN-ANNI", it is the Turkish expression "AN ANNE" (GÖK ANNE) meaning "Sky Mother". In other words, in one meaning "she is the queen of heaven" as Ishtar was described to be. Her personifying the "Sky-Mother" deifies her and makes her a "goddess". Both the Sky and the Sun can metaphorically be regarded as "Sky-Mother" because they are the ones who provide space and life for all living beings on earth and most likely in other billions of "earth-like" places in the sky.
In the second meaning it is the Turkish expression "HAN ANNA" (Han Anne, Han Ana) meaning "Lord Mother". Thus even Sumerian INANNA is Turkish and is a personification of the "mother", "wife" and "woman" concept. While "mother" is mother to her children, she is also the wife to the children’s father.
In this personification she is regarded as "goddess" by calling her by the adjective "HAN" meaning "lord". It is also important to note that in Turkish, "woman" is also called "HANIM" (HANUM) meaning "lady" or "my Lady" but additionally it means "I am lord". The mother, the lady of the home is indeed the lord of the home. In one more meaning in Turkish, the word "HANUM" (HANIM) also means "my palace, my home" where "woman" has the utmost importance. This also indicates the value given to women in Turkish society since very ancient times.
Sumerian AN or EN are versions of Turkish "HAN" - meaning "lord" and also meaning "palace". The Sumerian "ANNA" or "ANNI" as presented in the name INANNA is nothing but the Turkish "ANNA, ANNE, ANNI, ANA" all meaning "mother" and they have all been used in the Turkish language up to present times. Additionally, Sumerian word "AMA" meaning "mother" is a shifted form of Turkish "ANA" meaning "mother". Evidently, the readers of the Sumerian texts presented the word "ANA" in the form "AMA" in order to distance Sumerian from Turkish.
***
About the name "EANNA":
Bilgamesh had built in URUK "the temple of EANNA for the god of the firmament Anu, and for Ishtar the goddess of love". The Sumerian word EANNA is a composite word which is made up of "E + ANNA" where Sumerian word "E" means "house" and/or "temple". ANNA is a name. The Sumemerian "E" is a form of Turkish "EV" meaning "house". When we say "TANRI EVI" in Turkish it means a "temple of God". It is most likely that the readers of the Sumerian texts dropped the letter ‘V’ from "EV" and came up with Sumerian ‘E’ meaning ‘house’. It is admitted that frequently, the final consonant is dropped in Sumerian words.
In this regard John L. Hayes writes the following: [21]
"One of the thorniest questions in Sumerian involves the status of word-final and syllable-final consonants. According to most Sumerologists, certain consonants, when in word-final position, were not pronounced."
The consonant in the word "EV" must have been one such dropped consonant in Sumerian texts. If the original Sumerian word for "house" was "EV", then dropping the final consonant "V" from it would certainly alienate Sumerian from Turkish. The purpose of this was most likely intended to distance Sumerian from Turkish.
John L. Hayes also writes the following: [22]
"Many Sumerologists believe that Sumerian had a phoneme usually symbolized by /dr/; its exact phonetic significance is unsure. Its existence has been proven in only a few cases. Because of the difficulties of proving its existence in specific words, it is usually not indicated in transcription; instead, in the standard sign-lists and in most transcriptions it is reflected as d."
The so-called phoneme "dr" in this citing from John L. Hayes is nothing but the Turkish suffix "-dir, -dIr, -dur, -dür, -tir, -tIr, -tur, -tür" which comes at the end of all definitions in Turkish. Once this suffix is dropped off from Turkish words and phrases, Turkish loses its most important characteristic. Evidently the Babylonian Semites, in restructuring and destroying the ancient Turkish language, removed its most important feature from Turko-Sumerian. Hence the presented Sumerian became a "unique" language not resembling Turkish. This deliberate confusion of ancient Turkish was designed to obliterate Turkish and the worldwide civilization that it represented. This confusion also opened the door for the usurpation of the ancient Turko-Sumerian civilization into the so-called "Semitic" civilization. No wonder Babylonians and Sumerologists removed the godname "TUR" from Sumerian texts and replaced it with the word "MAR" without any justification. Genesis 11-1 states this intentional evil act by saying:
Genesis 11-1: "Now all the earth continued to be of one language and of one set of words".
Genesis 11-6 and 7: "After that Jehowa said: "look! They are one people and there is one language for them all, and this is what they start to do. Why, now there is nothing that they may have in mind to do that will be unattainable for them. Come now! Let us go down and there confuse their language that they may not listen to one another's language."
So the so-called Babylonia and its overly numerous magician priests had the evil idea of destroying that ancient Turkish language which the world spoke, and in order to achieve that ambition, they concocted all kinds of language alterations which made Turkish into many so-called "Semitic" and "Indo-European" languages which never existed before. In the meantime they described Sumerian which was nothing but ancient Turkish as a "dead and isolated language that had no living or dead language like it". This is how Babylonian-based science was made to function.
Since the temple EANNA was built for the universal creator sky God ANU, (Turkish "HAN-O"), it was therefore a temple for the Sky-Father-God (Tr. "GÖK ATA TANRI"). In other words, a HOUSE OF GOD. Additionally, the Sumerian word ANNA is the Turkish word "ANNA, ANNE, ANA" meaning "mother". Above I noted that both the names ISHTAR and INANNA meant "mother", "wife" and "woman". Thus the Sumerian EANNA (E-ANNA) means "The Temple of Mother" or "The Temple for Mother" where "mother’ is personified by the names ISHTAR and INANNA who were the heavenly Mother or the Sky Mother. In this concept, the universal creator God is both "mother" and "father" which brings in the "duality" aspect of the creator God. Both "father" and "mother" are creators and hence are "god-like" and "goddess-like". It is useful to recall here that the ancient Turanian Tur/Turk peoples were also "ancestor" worshipping peoples. That is why they erected monumental tomb stones for their ancestors.
Furthermore, since ISHTAR represented the Sun, Sunlight, and the Fire of Sky, and INANNA represented the "AN ANNA" the Sky-Mother", the temple E-ANNA was also the temple for sun, sunlight, sky and the sky-mother. Thus E-ANNA was a general temple for the ancient Turanian Sky-God concept that included all of these sub concepts. Hence we see that even the temple name EANNA (E-ANNA) was Turkish in origin for an ancient Turanian religious concept.
Here it is useful to remember the Anatolian (Phrygian) Goddess so-called "CYBELE", also called "The Great Mother", that is the goddess of nature. She was also identified with Greek Rhea. [23] The name CYBELE seems to have been made up from the Turkish word "BILICI" meaning "one who knows". This is verified by the name "SIBYL" which is defined as: [24]
"SIBYL. 1. In ancient Greece and Rome, any of several women who prophesied under supposed inspiration of some deity, chiefly of Apollo, and delivered their oracles in a frenzied state. 2. A fortune-teller; sorceress."
These women were given "SOMA" juice or so-called "crazy-honey", in Turkish "deli-bal", before they were to deliver their "inspired" foretelling of the future. But "foretelling" in Turkish is "BILICILIK, FALCILIK". Hence the name "SIBYL", like the name CYBELE" is made up from Turkish word "BILICI" (> "BILISY") meaning "one who knows", or with F to B transformation, SIBYL is from "FALCI" meaning "fortune teller". Evidently this was a good source of money making in ancient Greece and Rome. Foretelling has been known to be a trademark of the wanderers.

About the name "APHRODITE":
The supposedly Greek name APHRODITE is another stolen name from Turkish. This Greek name APHRODITE is actually made up of two Turkish words, namely, "AFROD (AVRAT) + ITI" together meaning "she is wife", "she is woman". Turkish "AVRAT" means "wife, woman, mother". Aphrodite as "goddess of love" is nothing but a personification of wife and woman.
A second Turkish meaning of APHRODITE becomes clear when the word is rearranged letter-by-letter as "PHR-OD-ITE-A" is the Turkish expression "BIR OD IDI O" meaning "one-fire she was". This refers both to the fieryness of the woman and also the Sun. In ancient Turkish culture the "sun" was also personified as a beautiful woman.
In view of all this, it is clear that all of these very ancient Turkish-origin words are at least 6,000 years old in the form INANNA, 4,000-plus years old in the form "ISHTAR" and probably 3,000-plus years old in the form of "APHRODITE".
Hence the so-called Akkadian or Semitic name ISHTAR, Greek APHRODITE and Sumerian INANNA are all ancient names made up using Turkish language as the source. Since there is no reference made to Turkish as the source, this is an indication that an act of stealing and obliteration of the ancient Turkish civilization has taken place.

About the name "SHAMASH" Sumerian "UTU"
N. K. Sandars writes: [25]
"When the gods created Gilgamesh they gave him a perfect body. Shamash the glorious sun endowed him with beauty, Adad the god of storm endowed him with courage, the great gods made his beauty perfect, surpassing all others. Two thirds they made him god and one third man."
The name SHAMASH is supposedly the "Akkadian" name for Sun-God, that is, replacing Sumerian "UTU". First of all Sumerian UTU meaning "Sun God" and Turkish "OTO" (ODO (OD-O)) meaning "It is Fire", and Turkish "ATA" meaning "father" are one and the same because the Sun is a creator and Father is a creator. It must be remembered that God is always referred to as "Father" (Ata or Apa). Thus Sumerian name UTU, the name for Sun-God, is a Turkish word. The ancient Turkish words "UT" (OD meaning fire"), "UT" meaning "time", UT (OKUZ) meaning "Bull" and "UT" (ÖT) meaning "to sing" and/or "to speak" are all linguistically as well as theologically related to each other. The Turkish OGUZ and AGUZ concept is embedded in them.
The so-called Semitic name SHAMASH is also a disguised Turkish word describing the sun. SHAMASH in the form "ISHAMASH" is the Turkish word "ISHAMASH" (ISHIMISH) meaning "it is burning brilliantly", "it is giving off brilliant light", "it is glowing" which is, of course, the "SUN". Thus the source of the name SHAMASH is the Turkish verb "ISHIMAK" meaning "to radiate light". Similarly, when the "heating" element inside a light bulb heats to white hot state, it becomes "ISHIMISH" meaning "it is radiating light and heat". The SUN is exactly that, that is, a giant fire radiating brilliant light and "heat".
Presently the Arabic word "SHAMS" for the Sun is nothing but the altered and disguised Turkish word "ISHIMISH". Thus the source for these so-called "Semitic" words for the ancient Turanian Sun-God is in fact the Turkish language contrary to all the denying and disguising verbosity that have been used. Thus even if millions of people are taught that the word SHAMASH or SHAMS is "Semitic", it will not change the fact that the source of these words is Turkish. A falsehood is still a falsehood irrespective of whether it is believed as "truth" by one person or millions of people. A large number of believers does not make a "falsehood" a "fact".

The name ENGIDU (ENKIDU):
The name ENGIDU (ENKIU) represents a young man in the Sumerian epic story of Bilgamesh. The following is a description of him as written by N. K. Sandars in his book. He writes: [26]
"So the goddess (Aruru) conceived an image of her mind, and it was of the stuff of Anu of the firmament. She dipped her hands in water and pinched off clay, she let it fall in the wilderness, and noble ENKIDU was created. There was virtue in him of the god of war, of Ninurta himself. His body was rough, he had long hair like a woman’s; it waved like the hair of Nisaba, the goddess of corn. His body was covered with matted hair like Samuqan’s, the god of cattle. He was innocent of mankind; he knew nothing of the cultivated land.
Enkidu ate grass in the hills with the gazelle and jostled with wild beasts at the water-holes; he had joy of the water with the herds of wild game."
Similarly Will Durant writes: [27]
"Aruru kneads a bit of clay, spits upon it, and moulds from it the satyr Engidu, a man with the strength of a boar, the mane of a lion, and the speed of a bird. Engidu does not care for the society of men, but turns and lives with the animals".
These descriptions of ENGIDU (ENKIDU) actually represent the young peasant boys of the village. At a young age village boys were asked to attend lambs and goats in the nearby fields, and later on as they grew older they would work in all kinds of hard work that village life required of them. By the time they were teenagers, they were well developed and powerful. They would tend herds of sheep, cattle and horses, and thus become extremely familiar with them. Young boys in the village were called by the Turkish name "GEDE" (GIDE, GEDA, OLA, OGLAN, ÇOCUK). Hence the name ENGIDU personifies a young man of the village. This we will see below when we analyse the name ENGIDU.
Encyclopaedia Britannica World Language Dictionary defines the term "satyr" as: [28] "In Greek mythology, a woodland deity in human form, having pointed ears, pug nose, short tail and budding horns, and of wanton nature." The mythological Satyr is an imaginary being combining man and goat features.
Interestingly, the Turkish word "OGLAK" maning "kid" or "young goat" is similar to the word "OGLAN" meaning "boy". Additionally in Turkish, the word "GIDIK", or in short "GIDI", also means "kid", that is, the "baby goat". These similarities in the Turkish names for "young boy" and "young goat" could have been the reason for the ancient Greeks to come up with the mythologic name "Satyr" as defined above which is really a putdown expression against the ancient Turanians.
It is important to note here that the English term "KID", meaning both "baby goat" and "child", has the features of these Turkish words, that is, "GIDIK" (GIDI) meaning "baby goat" and "GEDE" meaning "young boy". Hence this English term too has been usurped from Turkish and Sumerian.
With this backgrond information let us now turn to the name ENGIDU (ENKIDU).
The so-called Sumerian name "ENGIDU’ is made from two parts. Namely: "EN + GIDU" which are respectively Turkish "HAN" meaning "lord" and "GEDE" (GIDE, GEDA) meaning "boy". Thus the name ENGIDU means "Lord Boy". Parallel to this expression there is the Turkish saying "GENÇLIK HANLIKTIR" (GENÇLIK SULTANLIKTIR) meaning "one is a lord in his/her youth". Thus Sumerian ENGIDU is a form of the Turkish expression "HAN GEDE" meaning "Lord Boy". Linguists should be able to see how this Turkish expression "HAN GEDE" can be reduced to Sumerian "ENGIDU".
In the epic story of Bilgamesh ("Gilgamesh") ENGIDU (ENKIDU) becomes the closest friend of Bilgamesh which is a true statement because "man" and his "knowledge" are always together and are "closests of friends". Additionally while man, as represented by "ENGIDU", is "mortal" and eventually dies away, his knowledge is passed on to others. Hence it is in a way "immortal" and stays with the rest of the living men almost forever. This "immortallity" of knowledge gives a divine quality to itself.
Thus from all of this it is clear that the Sumerian name ENGIDU (ENKIDU) is also a Turkish based name used as a character name in the Sumerian "BILGAMESH" epic story. Evidently the name "GILGAMESH" was an altered and disguised form of the Turkish expression "BILGAMESH" or "AGILGAMESH". These two words can be changed into "GILGAMESH" by replacing the letter "B" with "G" in the first case, or by dropping front vowel "A" in the second one.
The story names discussed in this paper were words that belonged to ancient Turkish contrary to all kinds of deceitful verbosity trying to make the epic story of BILGAMESH a "Babylonian Semitic story" under the altered name of GILGAMESH. These names are extremely important evidences indicating that the ancient Turanian civilization developed in Sumeria was stolen, abducted, altered, confused, rearranged and then attributed to all kinds of wanderer people except the "Tur/Turk" peoples themselves. These ancient wanderers perpetrated a huge crime against the ancient Turanian Tur/Turk peoples by obliterating their flourishing civilization and redefining its creations and advances under altered names that were then assigned to themselves.
