Ishtar/Inanna as queen of Heaven “Waters above” (every winged bird in Genesis) In Vedic India the “Land of Seven Rivers” meaning the Sarasvati at flood stage (7 rows of seven symmetries). The Bible’s tonal FIRMAMENT of 3 rows in the midst of the waters. “Waters below” become great sea monsters in Genesis. Marduk’s universal flood at 8,640,000,000 = 2123357Peak values of 514 = 6,103,515,625 and its reciprocal (inspired by Gilgamesh’s slaying of Humbaba) converge on . The “throne” is Marduk’s “seat with a back support.” Tiamat, dragon of the deep, and her 20 children form the base. When she is slain the cornerstone of 23=8,589,934,592 enthrones Ereshkigal, queen of the Underworld, reciprocal of Ishtar/Inanna, who converge also on the throne (85:86). The 21 elements both ABOVE and BELOW inspire the 42 judges in the Egyptian Hall of Maat.
