Murder at the Dawn of History: Index

The Origin of Civilization's Most Influential God

Welcome to our ongoing investigation.

Our contention is that human civilization in Sumer and Egypt was founded by the very same bloodline. Their first success was in Sumer at the city of Uruk that grew to become the world’s first Empire, or something very similar to “empire.” Scholars call it the Uruk World System, and it lasted from roughly 3600 BCE until its catastrophic collapse around 3100 BCE. The epic fall of Uruk occurred during the reign of Dumuzi the Fisherman, fourth king of Uruk according to the Sumerian King List.

Dynastic Egypt was established essentially as an outgrowth or colony of Uruk. Early colonists established a kingdom in Upper Egypt at Hieronkopolis (Nekhen) and This (Abydos) in pre-dynastic times, from around 3400 BCE. Their emblem was the falcon and they worshiped the god Horus. This tribe achieved dominance over all of Egypt and even established a colony in Canaan under the king known as Narmer, the founder of Egypt’s First Dynasty.

Our claim is that Dumuzi and Narmer are different names for the very same individual, and when this king was murdered around 3100 BCE both the Empire of Uruk and the Kingdom of Egypt collapsed and fell into chaos.

In Sumer the story of this king was remembered in the myths of Inana and Dumuzi.

In Egypt his story was remembered in the myths of Isis and Osiris.

In both traditions the memory of the murdered king became the foundation for the creation of civilization’s most influential god, and the key component of the spiritual control system that still exerts influence over humanity today.

Catfish-Chisel (Nar-mer) the founder of Egypt’s First Dynasty - The Narmer Palette

The Sumerian King List - Uruk’s First Dynasty

In E-ana, Mec-ki-aj-gacer, the son of Utu, became lord and king; he ruled for 324 years. Mec-ki-aj-gacer entered the sea and disappeared. Enmerkar, the son of Mec-ki-aj-gacer, the king of Uruk, who built Uruk, became king; he ruled for 420 years. 745 are the years of the dynasty of Mec-ki-aj-gacer. Lugalbanda, the shepherd, ruled for 1200 years. Dumuzid, the fisherman, whose city was Kuara, ruled for 100 years.
