• One source calls this city as Bad-tibira.
• Although some claim king #6 as Dumuzi-Sib, whereas they place king #7 as Ensibzianna, with the city of Larak, as in most cases it is listed.
• Berosus, the Babylonian priest, called king #6, Daonos, as in the city of Panti-Biblos.
• Halley's Bible Handbook, called king #6, Dumuzi, as in the city of Badgurgurru.
  
  
• If the Flood occurred around 6,000 B.C. as I propose, then #6 would be Methuselah, who lived to be 969 years old, and had a son Lamech at age 67 or at 167-187 years of age, between 6202-7002 B.C.
      If king #6 with 28,800 years ruled which is based on 8 sars, claimed to be 3,600 years for each sar, is actually 3,600 days, then the value would change to around 80 years ruled.    If a sar were equal to 18 years and 11 days, then it would be 148 years ruled.    This puts it more in range of the birth of Methuselah's son, Lamech.
  
  
• In The Alpha and the Omega, Volume I -- by Jim A. Cornwell -- Chapter Four page 350, regarding Louis Waddell's chart of Kings No. 2 (3348 B.C.) through No. 34 (2751 B.C), in the column of Sumerian Names in King Lists and Monuments, also the Babylonian List (Kish and Isin Chronicles), he shows king number 6, as Uziwitar, which corresponds with the above Kings number 6, En-sipad-zid-ana, and dates between 3211-3206 B.C.

• To see similar information about the Sumerian LI.DUR SIPA.ZI.AN.NA, which is connected to the Orion constellation and Bootes constellation, which both show more on the Shepherd relationship.
  • The Sumerian LI.DUR SIPA.ZI.AN.NA, which means "The Navel of the True Shepherd of Anu," which reads as (li, ?/ lí, true measure + dur, umbilical cord + sipa, shepherd + zi, breath, to undress + an-na, god of heaven), this does not translate well.
