Enki

[gods god="Enki"]   Need research: A Heavenly "Lord" (Inkosi) in Zulu Cosmology

The king list puts the first kingship there, the creation myths build it first, and Enki made it his home.

Enki, Lord of Earth explains that Enki was believed to have founded the city and built its most important temple, the E-Abzu, and Sumerian Cities calls Eridu one of the oldest Sumerian cities, a significant religious and cultural center.

The world before the Great Flood notes that in the Sumerian myths Eridu is the first city, created by Enki.

On Apkallu, one of the seven is An-Enlilda, "the conjurer of the city of Eridu", and The Holy Seven describes Uanna (Adapa), a sage gifted with wisdom by Ea (Enki), who was counselor to the first king of Eridu and brought the arts of civilization to humanity.

Ninmah and Enki adds Adapa, the first man fashioned, who goes on to advise the King of Eridu.

Enki, Lord of Earth

Then the god Enki, who sides with the humans, finds a way around the order.

Wikipedia notes that Enki gave Iškur his post: "When Enki distributed the destinies, he made Iškur inspector of the cosmos."

Yahweh-Jehovah was basically a fictional character made by combining aspects of Enki and Enlil, but primary Enki as he was made to be an adversary of Baal, the storm god, who is Enlil.

Enki

Charpin identified a well beside a four-part cistern, southeast of the ziggurat, as the apsû, a holder of holy water and a figure of the freshwater ocean under the earth where Enki lived.

Widengren had regarded it as a special cult tree, living or artificial, planted in a grove near Enki's sanctuary.

The translator of these Sumerian texts, Dominique Charpin, identified this well as the apsû, a receptacle for holding holy water in the temple courtyard and representing the freshwater ocean lying deep beneath the earth where Enki lived.

The kiškanû at Ur is a different tree, in texts of Rīm-Sîn, about 1822 to 1763 BC, at the gate of an apsû that Charpin reads as Enki's freshwater ocean.

At Ur, Sîn the moon god, guardian statues at the gate, Enki in the freshwater ocean Charpin reads under the well, and the kiškanû trees at that doorway.

Sin also was the Chaldean name for the moon, where the Sumerians claimed Enki first obtained the life-producing tissue cells or “seed” for his human hybrid experiments that remained from the clash between Nibiru and the planet Tiamat. “The enormity of this single name change on human history is beyondcomprehension,” declared author William Henry.

However, they omitted the fact that Sin referred to the Moon, the source of our genetic material!” In the ensuing wars between the Anunnaki overlords, Sin was reported to have sided with the human benefactor Enki, which caused Enlil to declare those who opposed him as “sinners.”

Enki (Ea) creates humans from clay and a slain god's blood to perform labor and offer sacrifices, relieving the gods.

First punishment: Plague (or fire/drought): Enlil sends a disease (lines 1–352), but Enki intervenes by advising sacrifices and prayers, ending it after one year.

The duration is explicitly seven years (II i 11–15), during which Enki again mitigates slightly via prayers, but the crisis persists.

The famine ends after seven years when Enki persuades the gods to lift it, but population rebounds, renewing noise.

Enki's warning: Enki circumvents the oath by instructing Atrahasis (the wise king) via a reed wall dream to build a sealed boat (II viii–III i).

The Sumerian text Enki and the World Order depicts Inky organizing the world, with the Anunnaki praising his power.

The Sumerians called these Archon brothers Enki and Enlil, rulers of the Anunnaki.

What it really is, is the story of Enlil and Enki retold, with new names airbrushed over the top.

The shape of the stories remains, so you still have that conflict of Enlil and Enki just beneath the surface, just beneath the veneer.

Enlil, with his broter Enki are the main characters in some of the Sumerian cuniform tablets, refered to as Sky Gods or Anunnaki.

When faced with worker rebellion, Enki (the “brother” of Enlil) and Ninhursag genetically engineered humans by mixing Anunnaki DNA with hominins, creating a hybrid labor force to serve them.

Enki (Mesopotamian mythology): Enki (Ea), god of water and wisdom, warns Utnapishtim of the flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

For example, the Genesis 3 account featuring Yahweh and the serpent is compared to older stories of Enlil and Enki found on Mesopotamian tablets such as the Enuma Elish and Atra-Hasis.

Narrative: Xisuthros (Ziusudra’s Greek name) is warned by the god Enki of a flood to punish humanity.

Provoked Destruction: Human corruption provokes Enki’s flood—Xisuthros’s obedience mitigates it—paralleling Yima’s defiance hastening his own reset.

Insight: Ahura Mazda’s warning (Yt5.25), Allah’s call (Quran 11:25), and Enki’s counsel (Berossus) are defied—provoking floods—paralleling Golokhvastoff’s priest ignoring cosmic limits.

In the Gilgamesh version, Ea, the Babylonian name for Enki, warns the hero Utnapishtim ahead of time so that he can survive.

Its hero is Ziusudra of Shuruppak, who likely survives with Enki's help, and afterwards Enlil grants him eternal life.

Hea/Ea was the Sumerian god Enki, a name meaning "Lord of the Earth" or "Lord of the Below."

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.

Lord Enki is also known as Enkei asthe creator-god, the Sumerian medicine man.

With the supreme Nibirian ruler, Anu—or An or El, depending on the source—supervising their effortfrom the home planet, the Anunnaki began a systematic colonization of Earth under the leadership of Anu’stwo sons, Enlil and Enki.

In the tablets’ story, Enlil was the mission commander, while Enki served as executive and scienceofficer.

As in later Earth dynasties, the firstborn, Enki, was relegated to secondary statusbecause his mother was not the official wife of Anu.

This removed him from the royal line of succession.Yet it was Enki who led the first expedition to Earth.

Enki was both scientist and engineer.

Reinforcements later arrived under the leadership of Enki’sfirstborn son, Marduk.

When exalted Anu, king of the divinities [the Anunnaki], and Enlil, lord of heaven and earth, thedeterminer of the destinies of the land, determined for Marduk, the first-born of Enki, thedominion over the whole of humankind, made him the greatest among the deities, called Babylonby its exalted name, made it supreme in the world, and established for him in its midst an eternalkingship, whose foundations are as firm as heaven and earth, then it was that Anu and Enlilnamed me, Hammurabi, the devout and god-fearing prince, to promote the welfare of the people,to cause justice to prevail in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil, that the strong mightnot oppress the weak, to rise like the sun over the black-headed people, and to light up the land.

One example of this term from the OxfordSumerian texts recounts the boasts of Enki, who proclaimed, “With An the king, on An’s dais, I overseejustice.

Enlil was placed in overall command of the Earth colony while Enki led a forayto Africa and eventually to South America, where he set up gold-mining operations.

In an effort to ease the increasing rivalry between the half-brothers Enlil and Enki, their father, Anu,placed Enlil in charge of the Mesopotamian colony E-din—perhaps the basis for the biblical Eden—while assigning Enki to Ab-zu, or Africa, the “land of the mines.”

At this point, Enki suggested that aprimitive worker, called an Adamu, be created to take over the difficult work.

Enki pointed out that aprimitive humanoid—what we call Homo erectus or a closely related hominid—was quite prevalent inAbzu (Africa), where he maintained a laboratory.

Enki counterargued that producing a hybrid—half Anunnaki and half primitive human—would not be anact of creation but merely improving the existing breed.

And so Enki’s plan to create a worker race in Africa was approved by the Anunnaki Assembly, and theAnunnaki created a race in their image.

The Anunnaki Earth mission’s medical officer was a female named Ninhursag, who had already beenworking with Enki in genetic experimentation.

Enki and Ninhursag produced many mutated creatures, includinganimals, such as bulls and lions with human heads, winged animals and apes, and humanoids with thehead and feet of goats.

In addition to these fantastic creatures, the Sumerian tablets describe how Enki produced the first test-tube infant by combining DNA and producing a hybrid of human and alien origin in his laboratory.

In fact, they claim that they may have found the locationof Enki’s laboratory at the ruins called Adam’s Calendar on the Transvaal Escarpment.

It is written that Enki and Ninhursag took the reproductive cell or egg from a primitive African femalehominid and fertilized it with the sperm of a young Anunnaki male.

The fertilized ovum was then placedinside an Anunnaki woman—reportedly by one of Enki’s own wives, Ninki—who carried the child toterm

Continuing the Anunnaki narrative, Enki and Ninhursag went on to produce a number of Adamas, bothmale and female, although at this time they were incapable of reproduction and lived very short livescompared to the Anunnaki.

So Enki and Ninhursag set about to create an Adama race that could reproduceitself.

The Sumerian texts relate how an envious Enlil raided Enki’s African lab andreturned with captives to E-din, where they were put to work producing food and serving the Anunnaki.

Ithas been theorized that in retaliation for Enlil’s raid on his African lab, Enki traveled to Eden, where hecreated a human-reproduction lab for Enlil but secredy manipulated the genetic code to allow sexualreproduction.

But Enki had a plan of his own.

Whether out of some affection for humans or simply to thwart Enlil’splans, Enki passed along the murderous “secret of the gods” to one of his most prized human assistants,the Sumerian Utnapishtim In Babylonian legend, he was Atrahasis.

It was also referred to as the city ofSud, who has been identified as Ninhursag—the one who assisted Enki with the genetic creation of theLu-lu, the first Earthling.

According to the Sumerian texts, it was Enlil’s rival half-brother, Enki, who instructed

For example, Enkiprovided Utnapishtim with an excuse to explain to his neighbors why he was building a boat—as afollower of Enki he was forced to leave the Enlil-controlled area and needed the boat to journey to Enki’sterritory in Africa.

It also states that Enki instructed Utnapishtim/Noah, “Aboard ship take thou the seed of all living things.…” This instruction is most fascinating: because Enki had been the science officer involved in the geneticengineering of humans, it makes plausible the idea that Utnapishtim/Noah took DNA samples of all livingthings rather than a boatload of animals, insects, and plants.

Sin also was the Chaldean name for the moon, where the Sumerians claimed Enki first obtained the life-producing tissue cells or “seed” for his human hybrid experiments that remained from the clash between

However, theyomitted the fact that Sin referred to the Moon, the source of our genetic material!” In the ensuing warsbetween the Anunnaki overlords, Sin was reported to have sided with the human benefactor Enki, whichcaused Enlil to declare those who opposed him as “sinners.”

According to the Sumerian texts, Enki’s firstborn son, Marduk, gained sovereignty over the lands ofEgypt and became known as Ra.

In a story reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, the Sumerian stories tell of a granddaughter of Enlil namedInanna, who married the youngest son of Enki, Dumuzi, with the wary blessing of both feuding families.But when Dumuzi was killed after being taken into custody by Enki’s firstborn son, Marduk, or Ra, forviolating the Anunnaki moral code, Inanna attacked Marduk/Ra.

But alliances quickly shifted, and Enlil andInanna aligned their forces against Marduk and his father Enki.

The last of these was Horns, the son of Osiris, called by the Greeks Apollo.” As indicated in the comparison chart, Osiris was the Egyptian name for the Anunnaki god Enki, meaning that his son, Horus, would have been Marduk to the Sumerians and Ares to the Greeks, who was the god of war.

He may have been describing thunderous Anunnaki sky god Enlil and his more beneficent half-brother Enki when he wrote, “The glowing Sun never looks upon them with his beams, neither as he goes up into heaven, nor as he comes down from heaven.

In 212 BC, a different man, Gaius Sulla, an ardent worshipper of Apollo, organized the first of theannual Ludi Apollinares, or Games of Apollo, honoring the Greek god whose counterparts were Osirisand Enki.

And Poseidon [comparable to the Anunnaki Enki, known as the lord of waters], receiving for his lot the island of Atlantis, begat children by a mortal woman, and settled them in a part of the island, which I willdescribe.”

1961: Samuel Noah Kramer translated Enki and the World Order, a Sumerian text resembling the Tower of Babel story.

Enki: Lord of Earth, associated with creating humanity (Adam) and saving mankind from the flood.

Adam: Corresponds to the Sumerian Adamu, created by Enki and Ninhursag.

The Flood: In Sumerian accounts, Enki saved humanity, while Enlil caused the flood.

He contrasts two approaches taken by key Anunnaki figures, Enki and Enlil: Enki supported humanity’s growth, while Enlil was more authoritarian.

This appears to be the case, since they are sent from the god Enki, who can be likened to the god Atlas.

When asked about the warring factions of Enki and Enlil, Bashar confirms that these two represent distinct bloodlines.

Bashar also discusses the Brotherhood of the Snake, which he attributes to the Enki lineage.

The theory extends to suggest that Osiris may have been an incarnation of the Sumerian god Enki, known for his wisdom and association with water, thus creating a direct link between the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations.

“Anu, king of the gods, they appointed to be their shepherd; the heavenly Anunnaki they entrusted to him. Enlil, lord of the lands, they made to be their counselor; the earthly Anunnaki they entrusted to him. Enki, lord of wisdom, they appointed to be their chief; the sorceries and incantations they entrusted to him.”

The Enki and Ninhursag myth declares: "Pure are the cities -- and you are the ones to whom they are allotted.

The Akkadian myth "Inúma ilú awílum" (Atrahasis), translated by Tikva Frymer-Kensky, explains: "The gods cast lots and divided (the Cosmos): [Anu] went up to [heaven] [Enlil had] the earth as his subject; [the lock,] the snare of the sea [was given] to [Enki] the wise."

Enki received the island of Dilmun through this cosmic allotment, as the Enki and Ninhursag myth describes: "He laid her down all alone in Dilmun, and the place where Enki had lain down with his spouse, that place was still virginal, that place was still pristine."

In the Sumerian tradition, gods like Enki and Enlil were involved in the affairs of men.

In the Sumerian myths, the city of Eridu is the first city, and it belongs to the god Enki.

The Sumerian flood story gives Eridu to Nudimmud, which is another name of Enki.

The Sumerian flood story says Eridu was the first city, given to Enki.

The god Enki advised Ziusudra (or Utnapishtim) to build a boat to survive the flood.

He is usually read as Enki (Ea in the Babylonian texts).

Yahweh-Jehovah was basically a fictional character made by combining aspects of Enki and Enlil, but primary Enki as he was made to be an adversary of Baal, the storm god, who is Enlil.

Each time, the god Enki intervenes to help humans survive until the flood.

Additionally, the Sumerian triad of Anu, Enki, and Enlil is compared to the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
