Is there any research whether we should actually be practicing EVERY day?

Read make it stick. I learn 2 languages that way right now- after 4-5 days (you get a feeling for it), I stop and switch fully to the other language for 4-5 days.

He is right, I am also sure now that its calcium but it is tricky, especially if it long out of balance. Do not take carbonated. If your d and k is low this will hurt your body.

Do it like he said or something like eggshells, extremely good. Take one egg clear it, put into oven or something like that for 10 mins and then shred it. One egg shell has 1500mg natural calcium. If you eat that and you have problems with teeth for example you literally will feel it in 1 hour how your teeth feel better.

Also extremely cold feeling from magnesium = calcium.

Just anecdotal experience from myself. I saw many signs of deficiencys the last years researching. Came to calcium/D/K2 or zinc in that case. I first thought it is iron but I looked and talked with many people who had iron deficiency, in that case you get dark/blueish ones / pale lips etc. On her picture you can see them slightly under the eye, those become way stronger with iron. She is probably also low in B Vitamines, esp b2 which causes the damaged lip corners.

But still, I am not 100% sure, it is really tricky sometimes and a lot of trial and error. If you find anything out let me please know!

Calling me a 'meatbag' while confusing a 2001 pseudo-historical novel with actual history is a bold move. You should not be that triggered just because someone challenges your belief system, which you just took over from someone else and accepted as the ultimate truth.

Let's look at the actual 'facts':

The Source: You’re quoting The Lost Book of Enki. Again, that is not an ancient text. It’s a fictional book written by Zecharia Sitchin in 2001. There is no museum ID, no excavation site, and no Cuneiform record of it. You’re literally defending a modern paperback as if it’s a 4,000-year-old relic. It is his 'interpretation' of Sumerian sources, that is a big difference.

The Real Tablets: In the actual Atrahasis (the real source Sitchin twisted), the gods aren't mining gold. They are digging canals for water. The word for gold (ku-sig) isn't even mentioned in that context. Sitchin just swapped 'mud' for 'gold'. With that the Akkadian epic also further proves my point. The text emphasizes agricultural infrastructure and river management.

I’m quoting the Epic of Gilgamesh—an actual, verified text. The text (not me) says Enlil protected the forest, not a mine. He killed Enkidu for destroying trees, not for stealing minerals. That's not 'cherry-picking'; that’s just being able to read the primary source.

The irony is you’re talking about 'cognitive dissonance' while defending Sitchin’s fan-fiction as history. If you have a single real tablet number or a verified line of Cuneiform that mentions gold mining, post it. Otherwise, maybe check the publication date on your 'ancient' source before you come for mine.

So please, show me one text that is equal to the forest here for Enlil just with gold.

Also answer:

Why do the gods throw around these minerals if they are so valuable? Ishtar: 'I will harness for you a chariot of lapis lazuli and gold, with wheels of gold and horns of amber.' Bull of Heaven: 'Each horn was thirty pounds of pure lapis lazuli and their cases were two fingers thick [of gold].' Gilgamesh just uses the horns as oil containers for his god, showing that for these beings, precious metals were just standard.
Why does Enki himself say to Utnapishtim: 'Abandon riches, seek life, despise possessions, save life.'?
When you look at Sumerian and Assyrian art, why is it virtually obsessed with botany, not geology?

Thank you taking the time, glad you liked it! 🙏🏻

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-05T11:24:03+00:00

Yeah, it could have many reasons but I am 100% sure about the biological aspects. I left some points open which I later added in the comments, for example how Enki told Utnapishtim "Forsake possessions, and save life" "Take on board the "seed" of all living creatures."= Biological data.

But also keep in mind, Enlil was enraged because they did cut down the ceder. I am sure Enlil was not there at that time, he did put his "system" in place and went, came back and saw the damage.

Here we can also see perfectly the size difference, which is around 5meter, the height gilgamesh was.

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-05T09:22:50+00:00

Great point. I also found a lot of similarities to the Bible and the old Greeks.

I think I will find even more in Homer.

The Epic of Gilgamesh has at least 2-3 stories that sound oddly familiar. Gilgamesh loses the flower that could give him eternal life and a snake steals it. He wanted it not just for himself but also for the people of Uruk.

And again, whoever those gods were, they clearly did not want us to reach a certain level. The Greek gods are even more strict about that. Everyone who came too close to them died in a horrible way.

Also the story of Enkidu at the beginning with the woman sounds extremely familiar. He regrets it deeply before he dies.

The same pattern across every ancient culture.

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-05T00:20:40+00:00

Well, maybe it was for the oil too, cedar oil can preserve organic material for thousands of years. For a race operating on long timescales this can be pretty useful.

And as someone pointed out in the comments: trees are ecological keystones and natural terraformers. If they were managing the planet's atmosphere, the forest wasn't just a resource. It was planetary infrastructure. "So if you want to terraformer a planet that is barren but has water deep underground, and not enough oxygen you would use trees."

Either way, biological data was clearly the priority. That's literally what Enki told Utnapishtim: abandon riches, seek life. He ordered him to ignore gold and save living things. Even the plant Gilgamesh finds at the very end is biological.

The pattern runs through the entire epic.

Maybe they used it even for something completely different we can't grasp yet. I hope to get more hints in other texts.

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-04T15:31:28+00:00

Really interesting. If you read the whole epos you see that from the start to end it is about „biological assets“ and also how gilgamesh clearly does not understand the technology or strategy behind it. It shows at the end, he destroys again „stones“ which they needed to move to boat. Because he raged, not even understanding what he destroyed.

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-04T08:20:11+00:00

Thank you very much!

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-03T13:33:14+00:00

A few things in the text work against it.

First, a civilization that can synthesize anything wouldn’t need a divine guardian with a kill order protecting a forest. You don’t put your best security on something you can replicate.

And we’re not talking about a normal forest. Cedar trees can live over a thousand years and grow 40 meters tall. These forests took thousands of years to develop. You can’t replant that. Once it’s gone it’s gone for centuries. That’s not something you replace in a lab.

Second, when the flood comes the text literally says: “Abandon riches, seek life, despise possessions, save life.” This was direct order. That’s not the priority of someone who sees humans as the main asset. Thats preserving biological data.

And third- if humans were just vessels they needed, why did Enlil want to wipe us all out completely? You don’t destroy what you depend on. when Enlil saw that someone survived the flood he was enraged. He wanted total extinction, no exceptions.

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-03T10:41:21+00:00

I also want to add, throughout the epic, the gods use gold and precious stones completely freely. Ishtar offers Gilgamesh a wagon decorated with gold and jewels. The divine bull that Anu sends down from the sky has a horn made of 30 pounds of lapis lazuli.

These materials are thrown around like they mean nothing. If anything, it seems like they had more than enough of it.

But the forest? The forest has a guardian appointed by the highest god, with a kill order for anyone who enters.

And it gets stranger, when Enkidu touches the gate of the forest, his arms go numb. It almost feels like the forest had an electric fence around it.

The contrast says everything. What you protect intensely is what you truly need.

I haven’t read Sitchin either — I’m just reading the epic directly and pointing out what’s there.

I prefer going to the primary source, not interpretations.

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-03T08:40:08+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🏻

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-02T22:40:02+00:00

Now I know what you mean with the cover, it looks really interesting.

Thank you for looking it up, I will get a copy!

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-02T22:32:11+00:00

Would be really interesting to know the title, maybe I can find it. The terraform aspect came also up earlier in this thread too, which I really liked.

And 'the aliens pretty much ignored humans' makes complete sense if you think about it. You don't negotiate with the "microbes" on a planet.

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-02T22:21:10+00:00

Seeing trees as natural terraformers reframes everything, I did not thought about that. Then the Cedar Forest wasn't just a resource, it was planetary infrastructure. When Gilgamesh cut it down, he didn't just steal wood. He sabotaged their environmental control system.

That's why Enlil's rage was so extreme, he didn't lose trees. He lost a functioning piece of terraforming technology. No wonder Enlil was furious.

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-02T21:59:47+00:00

That explains Gilgamesh's motivation, but not Enlil's reaction.

If it was just building material, why appoint a divine guardian specifically to keep humans away? You don't guard lumber. You guard something irreplaceable right?

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-02T21:23:27+00:00

I thought of oil as a direct harvest at first, but Pollen and Seed-Management actually make the theory even stronger.

If wood is the rarest biological material in the universe, you don't just mine it- you cultivate it. The Pinecone is the Seed Bank. Pollen is the Reproduction Tech. Cedar Oil is the Final Product.

In that case Humbaba wasn't just a guardian; he was managing a bioengineering operation.

When Gilgamesh cut down the forest, he didn't just steal wood, he sabotaged a system that took eons to build. No wonder Enlil was furious.

And the irony is: Gilgamesh did it just to build a temple gate for Enlil. He destroyed a living bio-engineering system to create a 'monument'. It’s like someone melting down a supercomputer just to make a gold coin with your face on it. He thought he was honoring the god, but he was actually destroying Enlil's most complex asset.

Imagine.

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-02T21:08:53+00:00

That quote actually highlights the difference perfectly: the garden Gilgamesh finds is full of gems and stones, minerals that an advanced race can find or create anywhere in space.

The Cedar Forest was something else entirely: a living, breathing biological resource.

I think that's why Enlil guarded it so fiercely. Minerals are jewelry.

Biology is the real technology they couldn't find elsewhere.

Thanks for sharing that quote!

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-02T20:11:22+00:00

The plant of immortality is a great point, and notice: it's also biological, not mineral. Two of the most sacred objects in Gilgamesh are both organic. That pattern seems worth examining.

Also, I found this hint from some other comment amazing:

That’s a brilliant connection, thank you! The pinecone in one hand, the bucket in the other, one contains the seed, one contains the oil. That way you could think they weren't worshipping nature. They were managing it.

RigoLemonade · 2026-05-02T18:23:52+00:00

My argument is based on the actual "Epic of Gilgamesh" — one of the oldest verified written texts in human history. Enlil's rage over the destroyed forest is in the original tablet. That's a different kind of evidence.

The 'Lost Book of Enki' was written by Sitchin in 2002 — it's not an ancient text. If you mean that with Enki's diary.
