Fighting spreads to central Mesopotamia. Nippur's Holy of Holies is defiled. As Nabu marshals his Canaanite followers to capture the Spaceport, the Great Anunnaki approve of the use of nuclear weapons. Nergal and Ninurta destroy the Spaceport and the errant Canaanite cities. The winds carry the radioactive cloud to Sumer.
People die a terrible death, animals perish, the water is poisoned, the soil becomes barren.
Sumer and its great civilization lie prostrate.
