• One source calls this city as Sippar and king #8 as Enmenduranna, whereas they place king #9 as Arad-Gin, with the city of Shuruppak, but most call this as king #8 as Ubardudu, from Shuruppak.
  
  
• Berosus, the Babylonian priest, called king #8, Amenpsinos, as in the city of Larak.
  
  
• Halley's Bible Handbook, called king #8, Emenduranna, as in the city of Sippar.
  
  
• If the Flood occurred around 6,000 B.C. as I propose, then #8 would be Noah, who lived to be 950 years old, and had a son Shem at age 500, between 5514-6100 B.C.
  
  
• If king #8 with 18,600 years ruled which is based on 5 sars and some change, claimed to be 3,600 years for each sar, is actually 3,600 days, then the value would change to around 51 years and 240 days ruled.    If a sar were equal to 18 years and 11 days, then it would be around 80 years ruled.    In this case the Flood was about to occur, and Noah would continue to rule, and did not have Shem until he was 500 years old.
  
  
• 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 8, as Imuashshu or Pishmana, which corresponds with the above King number 8, Ubara-Tutu, and dates between 3194-3184 B.C.
  
  
• As to the Sumerian name Ubara-Tutu (ubara: patronage, protection + tu, to interfere, reduplication class or [du, to be born, to walk, to come]), giving us the image of "The One Who Came to Protect."
  
  • Sum. ubara: patronage, protection.
  • Sum. tu: to interfere (cf., tud and tur₅).
    • Sum. tumušen: (cf., tur₅mušen).
    • Sum. tu_2,3: (cf., tumu_2,3).
    • Sum. tu_5,17: n., bath; v., to wash, bathe; to pour; to make libation (probably reduplication class).
    • Sum. tu₆: exorcism; exorcistic formula.
    • Sum. tu₇: soup; soup pitcher.
    • Sum. tu_10,11: (cf., dun).
    • Sum. tu₁₅: (cf., tumu).
  • If it seen as Ubardudu, using dudu rather than tutu:
    • Sum. du: to walk; to go; to come (sing. marû, cf., gin, re₇, súb).
    • Sum. dú: (cf., tud).
      • Sum. tud, tu, dú: to bear, give birth to; to beget; to be born; to make, fashion, create.
    • Sum. gud-lah₅[DU-DU]: ox driver ('bull, ox' + 'to drive').
  
  
• As you can see above the Sumerian Flood hero (the early Noah) is called Ubar-Tutu:
  • One source claims it means "Friend of the god Tutu" in other versions it is Ziusudra, meaning "Life of long days."
    
    
  • In the Akkadian version he is called Utnapištim (Utnapishtim "he has found (everlasting) life").
    • Elsewhere also Atrahasïs ('exceedingly wise').    The epic named after the latter is very famous and is in Old Babylonian form dated to 1635 B.C.    It exists also in later traditions.
    
    
  • One source calls this city as:
    • Shuruppak and king #9 as Arad-Gin.
    • Whereas they place king #10 as Ziusuddu, also with the city of Shuruppak, ending that grouping of kings before the Flood.
    
    
  • Other sources claim number 9 and 10 kings before the Flood as.
    • Berosus, the Babylonian priest, called
      • King #9, Opartes, as in the city of Larak.
      • King #10, Xisuthros, as in the city of Shuruppak.
      
      
    • Halley's Bible Handbook presents,
      • King #9, Uburratum, as in the city of Shuruppak.
      • King #10, Zinsuddu, as in the city of Utnapishtim.
      
      
  
  
• 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 9, as Naili (or Nandu) Iaxa Sumaddi or Duag, and dates it between 3183-3181 B.C..     He then describes, "The Great Gap of 430 years with 26 (or 27) kings," which occurs between 3180-2751 B.C., which in this case would be after the Flood.
