Omschrijving

Excerpt from the book:
The Blue Planet gradually approached and increased in size. The distance between its and the aircraft decreased. Inanna heard footsteps behind her, and turning to see Aruru. Aruru's appearance was quite attractive: her golden hair contrasted sharply with bright large green eyes. Despite this, Aruru preferred modest clothes in low-key tones.
"Inanna, we'll be landing soon," she said enthusiastically. "I am looking forward to coming to our colony!"
Aruru was an optimist by nature. The long time spent on board the spacecraft, and even in a confined space and in the same team, seemed to have no effect on her. Nevertheless, Inanna felt pretty tired. She could no longer look at the same faces. She was sick of the monotonous food, and Dumuzid had been annoying lately.
The red-haired beauty increasingly thought that the next hundred, or even two hundred years, she would have to spend on Earth, devoid of the usual benefits and comfort. Inanna inwardly wondered at the enthusiasm of her aunts. It seemed that they were already on the ship were completely absorbed in the forthcoming research. And they discussed it incessantly. Sometimes it seemed to Inanna that her aunts were simply obsessed with science.
"...There is little left..." Inanna confirmed.
She turned her gaze to Lahar and Ashnan who had appeared in the compartment. Both, like two drops of water, are similar to each other: with wheat-colored hair and gray eyes. The eldest, Ashnan, loved to decorate her hair with hairpins made of fresh flowers and ears. The youngest, Lahar, styled her blonde hair in two tufts above her ears, somewhat reminiscent of sheep's horns.
Inanna, although she had never been to the Blue Planet before, she heard a lot about its from her parents, grandfather Enki and older brother Utu. Inanna in advance formed an idea of the local inhabitants of the Earth as primitive creatures. And she assumed that they would call Ashnan the goddess of grain, and Lahar - the goddess of cattle, respectively, according to their occupation. After all, Ashnan was engaged in the study and crossing of plants, and Lahar was enthusiastically breeding new species of animals. And because of her red hair, Inanna herself will be more likely to be revered as the goddess of the dawn. Inanna did not yet know how prophetic her assumptions would turn out to be. And that the women of Mesopotamia will dye their hair with henna so that they get a reddish tint.
The Anunnaki women spoke enthusiastically about science, using various difficult to pronounce words. Inanna was terribly annoyed, especially when the irrepressible energy of the twins burst out.
"I can't wait until I finally leave this cage! And I will breathe a little fresh air..." Inanna thought irritably. However, she smiled sweetly at her aunts.
After some time, Inanna's patience was rewarded - the 'celestial chariot' began to descend to Earth. The landing site was on the roof of a specially built ziggurat for this purpose, located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Nearby was the city of Uruk, and the ziggurat was surrounded by a high stone wall for security reasons. Because the townspeople often came to worship the place where the deities in heavenly chariots descend to Earth. Some lucky ones even managed to see the deities with their own eyes.
A passage opened on the surface of the golden flying disc, and a staircase rolled out smoothly. The heavenly travelers descended along it to the roof of the ziggurat.
