Flood Stories from Around the World
Both times, the god Enki advised men to bribe the god causing the problem.
The third time, Enlil advised the gods to destroy all humans with a flood, but Enki had Atrahasis build an ark and so escape.
Atrahasis made an offering to them, at which the gods gathered like flies, and Enki established barren women and stillbirth to avoid the problem in the future.

In the Sumerian myths, the city of Eridu is considered the first city, created by the god Enki.
In the Sumerian myths, there were warnings from the gods, such as the god Enki advising Ziusudra (or Utnapishtim) to build a boat to survive the flood.

Enki (Nakai or Ungai): An African deity still worshiped in parts of Kenya, linked to the Sumerian god Enki.
Kenya: Mutwa mentions that the deity Enki is still worshipped among the people of Kenya, indicating the historical and cultural significance of this region.
We read that the Sumerian deity Dumuzid was buried in the deep aperture on the edge of a cliff on top of a mountain, facing east.32:53At his father's special place.32:58This may yet become one of the most important historical discoveries that link human prehistory and so-called mythology of the 21st century.33:16Listen to this: his father was the Sumerian deity Enki.33:31[ __ ] rubbish.
33:42Enki is known in Africa as Nkai or Ngai.34:05For people who do not know, in the Sumerian tablets, Enki and Enlil are supposed to be brothers who were the leaders of the star people.34:12Yes, it’s all based in Sumer, but you’re saying we have to come to Africa to find out the true origins.34:18Yes, Mr.
37:05You were telling a story earlier about Enki and the relationship.
Could you continue with that story?37:16Yes, Enki in Africa is known as Nkai.37:29He is still worshipped even now amongst the people of Kenya.37:39And there is another deity called Uru.37:45In African, "Uru" means "old" or "grand," or "majestic."37:58And in Africa, you go to Zimbabwe, "Uru" means "great."
A populated universe
What it really is, is the story of Enlil and Enki retold, with new names airbrushed over the top.[2:10] This is part of a massive airbrushing done through the centuries, with the most significant one perhaps in the 6th century BCE, where the great library of texts that form the Hebrew scriptures was reworked to turn it into a single book that gave the impression of being about monotheism with a single story of God Almighty from beginning to end.[2:42] It sort of works that way, except for these moments that don’t make any sense, which clue you in that something else was the original form.
The shape of the stories remains, so you still have that conflict of Enlil and Enki just beneath the surface, just beneath the veneer.[3:02] In Genesis 3, you get to the story of Abraham nearly sacrificing his son, and it's pretty clear you have two warring entities there with Abraham caught in the middle.
Apkallu
These were mythological beings depicted as sages or demigods, often associated with the god Ea (Enki in Sumerian mythology), the god of wisdom and waters.
In Sumerian texts, the Abgal are seven sages created by the god Enki to establish culture and give civilization to mankind.
In Mesopotamia, these sages are often referred to as the "Apkallu" (Akkadian) or "Abgal" (Sumerian), and they are described as wise demigods or advisors sent by the god Enki (Ea in Akkadian) to teach humanity the arts of civilization, such as writing, law, temple building, and kingship.
Some of them are shown as part-human and part-fish, symbolizing their origin from the watery domain of Enki, the god of wisdom and water.
The Holy Seven
Uanna (Adapa) was considered a sage gifted with extraordinary wisdom by the god Ea (Enki) in Mesopotamian lore.
Human lifespan declines
Atrahasis, the protagonist of the story, is warned about the flood by the god Enki, who instructs him to build an ark to save himself, his family, and pairs of animals.
Atrahasis follows Enki's instructions, survives the flood, and later offers sacrifices to the gods.
Among the Anunnaki, two prominent figures are Enlil and Enki, who are considered major deities in the Sumerian pantheon.
The Great Flood(s)
The flood is survived by a man named Ziusudra, who is instructed by the god Enki to build a large boat to carry himself, his family, and various animals to safety.
This passage describes the instructions given to the hero of the story, Ziusudra (also known as Utnapishtim), by the god Enki to build a boat in preparation for the coming flood.
The lord who gives the instructions to the hero Ziusudra (also known as Utnapishtim) is the god Enki.
The Anunnaki
Humans are created by the god Enki and the mother goddess Mami to relieve the gods of their labor.
They unleash a series of plagues and disasters, including famine and drought, but each time Atrahasis makes offerings to the gods, and Enki advises him on how to counter these disasters.
Enki, who is sympathetic to humans, warns Atrahasis of the impending flood and instructs him to build a boat.
Enki proposes a solution to control the human population through natural means like infertility, infant mortality, and the establishment of various classes of women, some of whom cannot bear children.
Who is Enlil?
This comes from the Sumerian myth known as "Enki and the World Order," and describes a scene in which the gods gather to assign various roles and responsibilities:
Enki, lord of wisdom, they appointed to be their chief; the sorceries and incantations they entrusted to him." (Source: "The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature)
Who is Enki?
Enki was associated with water and was often depicted as a god of rivers, oceans, and underground springs.
Enki was also a god of wisdom, knowledge, and magic.
Enki was believed to have played a key role in the creation of humanity.
According to some Sumerian myths, Enki was responsible for shaping human beings out of clay and imbuing them with the breath of life.
Enki was a complex and multifaceted deity who was capable of both benevolent and malevolent actions.
Enki was often associated with the city of Eridu, one of the oldest and most important cities in Sumer.
He was believed to have established the city and to have built its most important temple, the E-Abzu, which was dedicated to the worship of Enki and his consort, the goddess Ninhursag.
Name and Meaning: Mutwa identifies Enki with several names in African contexts, including "Nakai" or "Orungai." He suggests that the names and attributes of Enki are deeply rooted in African culture and mythology.
Role and Influence: Enki is described as a major deity, much like in Sumerian mythology.
In the Sumerian context, Enki is a god of water, knowledge, creation, and mischief.
Cultural Connections: Mutwa emphasizes that the myths and stories of Enki, known for his wisdom and association with water, have parallels in African traditions.
Creation and Civilization: Enki is often associated with the creation of humanity and the development of civilization in Sumerian mythology.
Linguistic Connections: The names and stories of Enki have linguistic ties to African languages, according to Mutwa.
Enki's stories and attributes are seen as part of this shared heritage.
It is associated with fresh water and is considered the domain of the god Enki (or Ea), who is often depicted as a deity of wisdom, creation, and water.
Who is Anu?
Anu was the father of several other important deities in the Sumerian pantheon, including Enlil (god of the air and storms) and Ea/Enki (god of water, wisdom, and creation).
Enki, lord of wisdom, they appointed to be their chief; the sorceries and incantations they entrusted to him."
Colonization
Scientists and Naturalists like Charles Darwin might be likened to Ninshubur, a deity associated with the natural world, or Enki/Ea, a god of wisdom, intelligence, and the creator of mankind, known for his knowledge of all things.
Little People
While Enlil and Adad were not primarily water gods (like Enki/Ea, who was the god of water, knowledge, mischief, crafts, and creation), their association with storms and rainfall indirectly connects them to the element of water.
The holy trinities
Sumerian Mythology: In Sumerian beliefs, the trinity of Anu (god of the sky), Enlil (god of air and storm), and Enki (god of water and knowledge) were crucial in their pantheon, often considered the most powerful deities.
Khem – Zep Tepi
Sobek (Egyptian) - Enki (Sumerian):
