The earliest mention of Usmu is in the Epic of Creation, in the segment dealing with the rearranging of the Solar System by Nibiru/Marduk after the celestial collision. Having cleaved Tiamat, shunting the intact half of her to become Earth (with its companion, the Moon) and creating out of the shattered half the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupi- ter (and comets), the Invader now turned his attention to the outer planets. There, Gaga, a_ satellite of Anshar (Saturn), had been pulled off its orbit to "visit" the other planets. Now Nibiru/ Marduk, beholden to the planet that "begot" him in the first place—Nudimmud/Ea (the one we call Neptune)—presented the roving small planet as a "gift" to Ea's spouse Damkina: "To Damkina, his mother, he offered him as a joyous gift; as Usmu he brought him to her in an unknown place, en- trusting to him the chancellorship of the Deep." The Sumerian name of this planetary god, Isimud, meant "at the tip, at the very end." The Akkadian name Usmu meant "Two Faced." This, indeed, is a perfect description of the odd orbit of the outermost planet (excluding Nibiru). Not only is the orbit unusual in that it is inclined to the common orbital plane of the planets in our Solar System—it is also such that it takes Pluto outward, beyond Neptune, for the better part of its 248-249 year (Earth-years, that is) orbit- but brings it inside the orbit of Neptune for the rest of the time (see following illustration). Pluto, thus, shows two faces to its "master" Enki/Neptune: one when it is beyond it. the other when it is in front of it. Not Astronomers have speculated, ever since the discovery of Pluto in 1930, that it was once a _ satellite—presumably of Neptune; but according to the Epic of Creation, of Saturn. The astronomers, however, cannot account for the odd and inclined orbit of Pluto. The Sumerian cosmogony, revealed to them by the Anunnaki, has the answer; Nibiru did it. . . THE TWO FACES OF PLUTO
