From ANUNNAKI, EVOLUTION OF THE GODS by Sasha Alex Lessin, Ph.D. (Anthropology, U.C.L.A.) & Janet Kira Lessin
Greek civilization developed among Bronze Age people descended from Crete’s Phoenician settlers. An Anunnaki couple–the Minos [King] may have been the Anunnaki sage Enki, whose mate, Ninmah, made sure Crete practiced partnership of the sexes.
5000 years ago, people from Crete’s partnership-oriented society settled in Athens, on Greece’s Attica Peninsula, where, from every direction, domination-driven Aryan refugees from the late Bronze Age Collapse joined them. To control the aggressive Greeks, the Minos invited the rulers of the Greek cities to send their young Greek kings-to-be and some princesses to Crete, where they trained as three-person teams, each with a bull with which they created vaulting shows for their hosts. The Greek kings whose heirs were, albeit honored, hostages, whose stay in the Knossos, the Cretan Capital, insured their friendliness and continuing trade.
“On Crete, where the Goddess was still supreme, there were no signs of war.” Cretans traced descent lines through women, not men. Crete, the last bastion of Ninmah’s partnership-based society, represented god as female. Even into the later Marduk/Zeus/Mycenean period in Greece, “Worship of nature pervaded everything on Crete. Priestesses of the Goddess, not priests, played the central role in rituals.” Life on Crete “was permeated by ardent faith in Nature, the source of all creation and harmony. This led to the love of peace, a horror of tyranny, and respect for the law. People of different racial stocks worked cooperatively for the common good. There was sharing of wealth” and a high standard of living even for peasants.”
The Minoan capital and port, Knossos, had one hundred thousand inhabitants. The streets were paved and drained, fronted with neat three-story houses. Exercise and sports involve both men and women. Public ceremonies, primarily religious, included processions, banquets, and acrobatic displays, among them bull games in theaters and arenas. [Eisler: 30-31, 35-36, 43]
Ninmah preached sexual, ethnic, and domestic partnerships. Her lands touted nonviolence, trade, and travel. Her peaceful, unfortified cities lacked arms caches, armies, or slaves. People worshipped Ninmah across the Eastern Mediterranean islands in the Minoan Federation (named after the Minos, King of Crete).
Crete’s partnership society provides a model for the belief that “government should represent the interests of the people” rather than the interests of the rulers.
