Well, this is interesting. I sometimes edit a page on Wikipedia, and especially when it is very wrong and I just can't stand to see people using it in that form. One I tried to do today is du-ku, which they are defining as an Akkadian word that means "holy hill". This is laughable , if it were not so serious.
The word "holy" is nice and sweet, but it is a Christian term that was not used by these people who lived
three thousand years before Abraham and five thousand before Christ.
It actually is a Sumerian word, with du-ku being our pronunciation of the actual symbols, which
are du6-ku3, which means "a mound or burial mound" and "metal, silver, bright, shiny, shining".
Or, in other words, if you placed a UFO on the ground, you would see something like the half circle
of a mound, except that it was metal and shiny.
When I attempted to correct the word Akkadian for Sumerian (actually there has never been an Akkadian
cognate word for this Sumerian term so it could not possibly be Akkadian), I find that I have been
removed as an editor and no longer am able to provide corrections to their pages. I wasn't about to tell them about the metal and shiny part, since that would have been removed immediately, but I did want to correct the word Akkadian to read Sumerian. No go.
What a surprise.
This has not happened previously - normally they wait about two weeks and then quietly remove what I have done.
Once they tried to claim Dagon was a Hebrew term and a Hebrew god, until I informed them that Dagon was mentioned 1500 years before 1900 BC when Abraham was born, and they reluctantly removed it.
Back to work.
