This is last night in El Paso. Title 42 Ends tomorrow.
Since Abbott has begun busing these people out to sanctuary cities he’s only sent out 17,000 so far.

The first time this happened this is the kind of propaganda and advice that was issued from the government.

The Cutha Legend of Narma-Sin (circa Late 3rd millennium BC)

Open the tablet box and read the stele

That I, Naram-Sin, a descendant of Sargon

Inscribed and left behind for perpetuity.

The King of Uruk disappeared.

(5) Enmerkar disappeared.

Enmerkar, King of Uruk, ruler of the land.

[Some period of time] passed by.

[Some period of time] went by.

Ishtar changed her decision.

(10)…and he rode.

[Enmerkar consulted the great gods

Ishtar, Llaba, Sabada, Annunitum

Shullat, Hanish, Shamash the hero.

He summoned the diviners and gave orders.

(15) They sacrificed the lambs, seven lambs, seven lambs for seven diviners

He set up the holy reed altars.

The diviners spoke thus:

…

… face.

(20) and like…

Upon the earth…may your corpse lie flat.

The great gods had not yet finished speaking!

Enmerkar…Shamash brought a severe judgment.

His judgment, the decision that he made, was that his ghost, the ghosts…

(25) The ghosts of his family, the ghosts of his descendants,

The ghosts of his descendants’ descendants –

This was decreed by Shamash the hero,

The lord above and below, the lord of the Anunnaki, the lord of ghosts –

That they should drink contaminated water and not drink pure water.

The one whose wisdom and weapons bound, defeated, and killed those troops

Did not write on a stele, he did not leave one behind for me and

(30) he did not make a name for himself and I did not pray for him.

A people with partridge bodies, raven-faced humans,

The great gods created them.

On the earth that the gods created was their city.

Tiamat suckled them.

(35) Their maternal goddess, Belet-ili, beautified them.

On the midst of the mountains they grew, they reached manhood,

They acquired their proper size.

Seven kings, brothers, renowned for beauty,

Their troops numbered 360,000.

Anubanini, the king, was their father, Their mother was queen Metili.

(40) Their eldest brother was their leader – Memanduh was his name.

Their second brother – Medudu was his name.

Their third brother – Tapish was his name.

Their fourth brother – Tartadada was his name.

Their fifth brother – Baladahdah was his name.

(45) Their sixth brother – Ahundanadih was his name.

Their seventh brother – Hurrakidu was his name.

They rode in the shining mountains and

The soldier seized them but they struck their thighs.

At the beginning of their approach, they advanced against Purushanda.

(50) Purushanda was wholly scattered.

Phulu was wholly scattered.

Puranshu was wholly scattered.

Indeed…

The powers of Umman-manda are struck down, the camps of Shubat-Enlil,

(55) And in the midst of Subartu, all of them wandered about.

They scattered those in the seas and they approached Gutium.

They scattered Gutium, and they approached the land of Elam.

They scattered Elam and they reached the plains.

They killed those at the crossing and cast them into

(60) Dilmun, Makkan, Meluhla, in the midst of the sea, as many as they were, they killed.

Seventeen kings, with 90,000 of their troops

With them they had come to their aid.

I summoned a soldier and gave him orders.

I handed over a dagger and a pin.

(65) “Attack with the dagger, prick with the pin.

If blood comes out, they are human like us.

If blood does not come out, they are spirits, fiends from the underworld,

Demons, lurking ghosts, the work of Enlil.”

The soldier delivered his report:

(70) “I attacked with the dagger,

I pricked with the pin, and blood came out.”

I summoned the diviners and gave orders.

I sacrificed seven lambs for the seven diviners

I set up the holy reed altars.

(75) I inquired of the great gods –

Ishtar, Llaba, Zababa, Annunitum,

Shullat, Hanish, Shamash the hero.

The key of the great gods did not permit me to go

Nor did a divine communication in my dream.

Thus I said to myself, thus indeed I spoke:

(80) “What lion practiced divination?

What wolf inquired of an interpreter of dreams?

Let me go like a bandit, following the counsel of my own heart.

Let me disregard the counsel of the god; let me take responsibility for myself.”

At the arrival of the first year

(85) I sent out 120,000 troops and not one from among them returned alive.

At the arrival of the second year,

I sent out 90,000 troops, and not one from among them returned alive.

At the arrival of the third year, I sent out 60,700 troops,

And not one from among them returned alive.

I was disturbed, perplexed, anxious, distressed, and dejected.

Thus I said to myself, thus indeed I spoke:

(90) “What have I left behind as the legacy of my reign?

I am a king who has not looked after his land,

And a shepherd who has not looked after his people.

How can I keep proceeding? How can I save my country?

Dread of lions, death, fate, famine

(95) dismay, chills, losses, hunger,

Starvation, insomnia – every sort of calamity descended upon them.

Above, in the assembly, the flood was devised.

Below, on the earth, the flood came.

Ea, Lord of the deep, opened his mouth, and said,

(100) speaking to the gods, his brothers,

‘Oh great gods, what have you done?

You spoke and I unleashed a flood

And to bring about that which you…'”

At the arrival of the New Year festival in the fourth year

(105) with earnest prayer that Ea of the great gods [would hear]

I offered the holy New Year’s sacrifices.

I sought the holy omens.

I summoned the diviners and gave orders.

I sacrificed seven lambs for the seven diviners.

(110) I set up the holy reed altars.

I inquired of the great gods…

(120) Twelve soldiers from among them fled from me.

I pursued after them, I hastened, I went faster.

As for those soldiers, I overtook them.

As for those soldiers, I brought them back.

Thus I said to myself, thus indeed I spoke:

(125) “Without divination, I will not inflict punishments.”

I sacrificed a lamb concerning them.

The key of the great gods said, “Spare Them.”

Shining Venus thus approached me from heaven,

“To Naram-Sin, descendant of Sargon:

(130) Cease! You shall not destroy the accursed people!

In the future, Enlil will raise them up for evil.

They await the furious heart of Enlil.

The city of those soldiers will be demolished.

They will burn and besiege the dwelling places.

(135) The city will pour out their blood.

The earth will reduce its store, the date palm its yield.

The city of those soldiers will die.

City will fight against city, household against household,

Father against son, brother against brother,

(140) Young man against young man, friend against companion.

They will not speak truthfully with one another.

People will be taught falsehood and…

They will kill that enemy city.

As for that city, an enemy will seize it.

(145) For one mina of silver, a person will receive a sheath of barley.”

There was no mighty king in the land

I brought them to the great gods as tribute.

I did not bring them for my hand to kill.

Whoever you are, a governor, or a prince, or any other,

(150) Whom the gods shall call to carry out the office of kingship:

I made you a tablet box, I inscribed for you a stele.

In Kutha, in the Emeslam temple,

In the shrine of Nergal I left it behind for you.

Read this stele,

(155) And heed the message of this stele!

Do not be disturbed; do not be perplexed.

Do not fear; do not tremble.

Let your foundations be firm!

As for you, do your work in the embrace of your wife.

(160) Fortify your walls.

Fill your moats with water.

Your chests, your grain, your silver, your possessions, your goods,

Gather into your fruitful city.

Bind your weapons together and lean them against the corners.

(165) Curb your boldness, look out for yourself!

Should he wander throughout your land, do not go out to him.

Should he loose the livestock, do not approach him.

Should he consume the flesh of your soldiers,

Should he kill them and return…

(170) You maintain self-control, you keep yourself in check.

Answer them thus: “My Lord.

For their wickedness, return good.

For their good, return gifts and more.”

Do not approach them.

(175) Let wise scribes

Read your stele.

You who have read my stele,

You who have saved your country.

You who have blessed me, may a future king

(180) Bless you.

Summary. Govt at the time said stay home and lock your doors. The Gutians were a primary cause for the fall of the worlds first recognized Empire.
