As a mortal leader, Noe is tasked with guiding the Faithists (followers of Jehovih) through a cataclysmic flood that submerges parts of Pan, caused by spiritual imbalances stemming from the influence of false gods like Anuhasaj.
On 12 July 1562, Diego de Landa had burned all the books and images of the Maya gods, which he was able to seize, at an inquisitorial court of law, an “autodafé,” in Mani, south of Merida.
The deities mentioned in the Popol Vuh include Hun Hunahpu, possibly seen as the Kʼicheʼ maize god by some, and a group of gods led by the Kʼicheʼ patron Tohil.
This divine trio also consists of the moon goddess Awilix and the mountain god Jacawitz.
In one Egyptian myth, the bloody hue of the world is ascribed to the blood of Osiris, the mortally wounded planet god; in another myth, it is the blood of Seth or Apopi; in the Babylonian myth, the world was colored red by the blood of the slain Tiamat, the heavenly monster.
They forgot the testament of the Gods.
The sound and fury of the Gods would not finish.
They doubted the news of the Gods’ return, even though the date corresponded with their prediction.
Tatunca Nara told of the tribe of the Ugha Mongulala, a people who were "chosen by the Gods" 15,000 years ago.
He described two great catastrophes that had devastated the earth and spoke of the ruler Lhasa, a son of the Gods, who governed the South American continent, and of his relation to the Egyptians, the origin of the Incas, the arrival of the Goths, and an alliance of the Indians with 2,000 German soldiers.
According to the Bible, God created the world in six days for his own honor and for the good of mankind.
The old Indian epic Mahabhhrata relates how Gods and titans struggled for rule of the earth.
according to the calendar of the White Barbarians) the Gods left the earth.
"Only the image of the Gods remained in the hearts of the Chosen Servants.
They walked on all fours until the Gods arrived: They brought the light."
Then the Gods return.
And the Gods recognized them as their own brothers.
And our cleverest artisans have fashioned images of the Gods that bear witness throughout all eternity to their true greatness and wonderful power.
The Chosen Servants were still living in the dwellings of the Gods—one hundred years, one thousand years.
Their servants had betrayed the covenant with the Gods.
And the Gods were grieved.
We will eradicate them from earth—man and cattle, the worms, and the birds in the sky—because they have rejected our bequest." And the Gods began to destroy the people.
The Chronicle of Akakor does not tell much about the empire of Samon, Lhasa’s brother, who had descended to earth with the Gods in the year 7315.
A mighty empire developed, a mirror image of Akakor, constructed according to the same bequest of the Gods, who also determined the lives of the Ugha Mongulala.
They say that in the period before the hour zero, there also existed another nation of Gods that was hostile to our Former Masters.
Our priests say that these Gods also ruled over an enormous empire.
The two races of Gods, which are represented in the images of the Great Temple of the Sun in Akakor, began to quarrel.
Yet for the first time, the providence of the Gods saved the Ugha Mongulala.
When the flood has ceased, the ark comes to rest in the Ararat mountains, and Noah leaves the boat to give a thank offering to God.
He and his family explore the land and praise God for the beauty that is found there.
God appears to Noah and makes a covenant with him to rule over the earth, so long as he and his sons do not consume blood.
This covenant between God and man is made manifest by a rainbow "a sign for [Noah] in the clouds" (col.
Four years after the flood, Noah holds a festival in his vineyard to praise God.
He asks God to have vengeance and show his power against Pharaoh and his household.
God sends a spirit to torment the Pharaoh of Zoan and the men of his household.
Ahura Mazda, also known as Oromasdes or Ahuramazda, is an important god in Zoroastrianism, an ancient religion.
People worshipped him as the creator and the god of the sky.
He lives in a constant struggle against his twin brother, the principal or god of evil known as Ahriman. Both are children of the first creator god, Zurvã (time). Ahriman, as the firstborn son, was more powerful than Ahura-Masda and would have a reign of a thousand years. However, after this period, he would be defeated by Aúra-Masda.
Aúra-Masda is also the god of the sky, wisdom, abundance, and fertility. He can prophesy. He is accompanied by a group of spirits called the Amshaspends. He is the father of Atar, the fire of heaven; of Gayomart, the first mortal human being (the first human being, according to Persian mythology, had been Ima, who was immortal), created from light and who would have given rise to all other human beings; and of Mitra, god of wisdom, war and the sun.
Ahriman is also called Daevanam Daeva(daeva of daevas), which means evil god of evil gods or demon of demons.
Eridu is considered one of the oldest Sumerian cities and is often associated with the god Enki.
This deception eventually led to the events where Sarai was taken into Pharaoh's house, as mentioned in Genesis 12:19, before God intervened to protect her and her true identity as Abram's wife was revealed.
Haran: This is the place where Abram lived before God called him to go to a new land.
Canaan: God tells Abram to go to the land of Canaan, which is the promised land.
Shechem: Abram travels through the land to Shechem, where God appears to him and promises the land to his descendants.
Note: If God (the Lord) was omnipresent, it didn't need to come down, so it's more likely this refers to an intermediate.
Note: God is plural here - let us go down
It suggests that the traditional understanding of the story, where God punishes humanity for building a tower too tall by confusing their languages, is incomplete or misunderstood.
Misunderstanding of the Story: The traditional story depicts God punishing people by making them speak different languages.
Implications of the Story: The author questions the portrayal of God in this story and similar Biblical narratives, suggesting that worshipping such a God could justify xenophobia, misogyny, and violence.
The text advocates for separating the idea of God from these violent and divisive actions, viewing them as the work of non-human entities.
Akkadian usage often means the great gods, and sometimes figures tied to the underworld.
Elohim is the Hebrew plural form for God, gods, or divine beings.
That Aessir frame soft-bridges the Norse Aesir trail on the god Odin, Woden, or Wotan.
The same voice says the work violated their own laws, brought a recall, and left humans with guides later misread as gods:
Over time, humans misinterpreted this guidance, leading to the development of religions and hierarchical systems that positioned the Anunnaki as gods.
In that telling, Nibiru is a long-period world whose people need gold for atmospheric repair, land on Earth to mine, engineer genetic workers, face a flood, rule Sumer as gods, and leave an open question of return.
The classical framing around that quote also keeps Manetho / Herodotus / Diodorus / Strabo neighbors on long god and demigod rule spans (gods about 13,900 years; demigods about 11,000).
Nephilim (Atlantis survivors in Bashar’s trail), sons of judges / rulers / angels / God, Jabbarin, Gibborim, and Igigi sit on the offspring shelf.
the god Odin, Woden, or Wotan holds the Aesir / Enlil–air-god name bridge.
Sky children of Anu: multi-race travelers who came from the sky in The Golden Lake’s definition, and divine offspring of An / great gods in Sumerian–Akkadian Anunna tradition.
the god Odin, Woden, or Wotan: Aesir / Enlil–air-god name bridge.
Where Enlil was the counselor/god of earth, Anu (and the spaceship) was somewhere else?
In Genesis 9:1, after the flood, God tells Noah and his sons: "Multiply and replenish the earth." "Replenish" implies doing it again, suggesting a prior civilization destroyed by the flood.
Similarly, in Genesis 1:28, God tells Adam and Eve: "Multiply and replenish the earth," implying recreation after desolation.
Based on the writing style this part is likely a later addition:[20] And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:[21] And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.[22] And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers without.[23] And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.[24] And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.[25] And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brothers.[26] And he said, Blessed be Yahweh of Elohim of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.[27] God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
In contrast, the vineyard episode adopts a more anecdotal and moralistic tone, aligning with the Yahwist source (J), known for its vivid storytelling and anthropomorphic depictions of God.
Shem's line is significant in the biblical narrative because it leads to the establishment of the Israelites and the covenant with God through figures like Abraham and his descendants.
"The council and the priests and the people having resolved at the assembly, it seemed good to them to honours king Ptolemy, the ever-living, the beloved of Ptah, the god Epiphanes Eucharistos; for his piety towards the gods, and his beneficence towards his parents; and his love of his country; and his kind disposition towards the Senators and People of Alexandria; and his equity in regard to every part of Egypt; and his having restored the country of the Egyptians, when it was oppressed by the Syrians, and the Libyans, and the Kappadokians, and the Arabs, —tribes that had been destroyed of old by his father Ptolemy the ever-living, —and had settled there as guards of the country, after he had expelled the afore-mentioned nations, and those who were in the cities and the temples, and every rank of men and every family of distinction, every one of whom he restored to his place and his privileges."
One of the most important celestial bodies in ancient Egyptian beliefs was the sun, which they worshiped as the god Ra.
The stars also played an important role in ancient Egyptian beliefs, particularly the constellation of Orion, which was associated with the god Osiris, the god of the afterlife.
[5] And the waters decreased continually until the 10th month: in the 10th month, on the 1st day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.[6] And it came to pass at the end of 40 days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:[7] And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro moves around until the waters were dried up from off the earth.[8] Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;[9] But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.[10] And he stayed yet other 7 days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;[11] And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.[12] And he stayed yet other 7 days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.[13] And it came to pass 601 years, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.[14] And in the 2nd month, on the 27th day of the month, was the earth dried.[15] And God spake unto Noah, saying,[16] Go forth of the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.[17] Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you, of all (pure?) flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.[18] And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:[19] Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.[20] And Noah builded an altar unto Yahweh Elohim; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.[21] And Yahwey Elohim smelled a sweet savour; and Yahwey Elohim said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.[22] While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
The principle which I have eliminated from the use of Adam enables us to understand that the 'Daughters of men', so-called, were Adamite women; and the 'sons of God' were preadamite men.
Noah is a Semitic derivative of the much earlier Sumerian name “Utnapishtim” and the Akkadian “Ziusudra.” The writings of these civilizations all portray a Noah-like character who is warned of the flood by the god Enki.
Various monstrosities and mixed forms resulting from the “pollution of the lineages” (the mixing of Sons of God with more material “daughters of men” lines, plus deliberate experiments).
[15] And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.[16] And they that went in, went in male and female of all pure flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.[17] And the flood was 40 days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.[18] And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
The “sons of God” taking the “daughters of men” (the mixing we’ve talked about extensively).
God seeing that “every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time” (6:5).
The god who instructed Noah to build the arc was Uriel or Anu
The gods had decided to destroy mankind.
The god Enlil warned the priest-king Ziusudra (“Long of Life”) of the coming flood by speaking to a wall while Ziusudra listened at the side.
Then Ziusudra opened a window in the large boat, allowing sunlight to enter, and he prostrated himself before the sun-god Utu. After landing, he sacrificed a sheep and an ox and bowed before Anu and Enlil. For protecting the animals and the seed of mankind, he was granted eternal life and taken to the country of Dilmun, where the sun rises.
The Bible, in its 6th chapter of Genesis, refers to unions between gods and the adamites, which resulted in giants on Earth.
These Atlanteans that survived, that were tall and considered the demigods, considered the idea of the union between the gods and man, these that were, as your Bible says, the heroes of old, the heroes of renown in the olden days, the giants that walked the Earth at that time, and that did boost the various human civilizations around them—being human themselves but also again mixed very strongly with extraterrestrial Anunnaki blood and genetics, did seek to preserve and over time became blended more and more through procreation into human society, creating different bloodlines, some of which contain more or less Anunnaki genetics.
[1] And it came to pass, when human began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,[2] That the sons of the Elohim saw the daughters of human that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.[3] And Yahweh (or Enki) of Elohim said, My spirit appearance shall not always strive with humans, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be limited to 120 years.[4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of the Elohim came in unto the daughters of human, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty human which were of old, human of renown [5] And Elohim saw that the wickedness rebellion of humans was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.[6] And it repented the LORD (Enki) that he had made humans on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.[7] And the LORD Yahweh of Elohim said, I will destroy man altered humans whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man altered humans, and altered beast, and the altered creeping thing, and the altered fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.[8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD Yahweh of Elohim.[9] These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man altered human and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God The Elohim.
[10] And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.[11] The earth also was corrupt before God the Elohim, and the earth was filled with violence.[12] And God the Elohim looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.[13] And God the Elohim said unto Noah, The end of all flesh altered life is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.[14] Make thee you an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.[15] And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits 135 meters, the breadth of it fifty cubits 22.5 meters, and the height of it thirty cubits 13.5 meters.[16] A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.[17] And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh altered life, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing altered thing that is in the earth shall die.[18] But with thee you will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy your sons, and thy your wife, and thy your sons' wives with thee you.[19] And of every living thing of all original flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee you; they shall be male and female.[20] Of fowls after their kind original fowls, and of cattle after their kind original cattle, of every original creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.[21] And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.[22] Thus did Noah; according to all that God the Elohim commanded him, so did he.
This genealogy in Genesis 5 directly precedes Genesis 6, which describes increasing human population and wickedness, leading to God's decision to send the flood.
Genesis 6:4 states: "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them.
First, the genealogy shows the growth of humanity, setting the context for the events in Genesis 6:1-4, where "sons of God" marry "daughters of humans," producing the Nephilim (giants or mighty men).
Second, in one common interpretation, the "sons of God" refer to the godly descendants of Seth (including figures like Methuselah and Lamech), who intermarried with the ungodly line of Cain, leading to corruption.
Other views identify the "sons of God" as fallen angels or human rulers, but the Sethite interpretation directly links the named individuals to this verse.
Sons of God - Ishim
In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
22 and Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
24 and Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
However, the humans multiply rapidly and become too noisy, disturbing the rest of the gods.
To resolve the situation, the god Enlil proposes sending a series of plagues, famines, and droughts to control the human population.
Each time, the god Enki advises a wise man, Atrahasis, on how to survive the disasters.
After the floodwaters subside, Atrahasis offers sacrifices, and the gods, hungry and regretful for their actions, gather around the offerings.
One of the gods, Enki, suggests creating a balance between gods and humans, setting limits on human population growth to prevent future disturbances.
It reflects the ancient Mesopotamian understanding of the relationship between gods and humans, the consequences of overpopulation, and the importance of balance in the natural order.
When the gods instead of manDid the work, bore the loads,The gods' load was too great,The work too hard, the trouble too much,The great Anunnaki made the IgigiCarry the workload sevenfold.

God's Book of Esra
And the sons of Cain were called tribes, even unto this day, but the sons of the righteous were sons of God; wherefore it was said of old: Behold the sons of earth and the sons of heaven.
for, as we find from the records as are made, to some there was given the power to become the sons of God; others were workers in brass, in iron, in silver, in gold; others were made in music, and the instruments of music.
For I have divided the Lord from God; that is to say:
And the Lord God said: Because man hath learned good and evil, I am as twain unto him, for I am Lord of the earth and God of heaven.
And that which is on the earth is the Lord’s, and that which is in heaven is God’s.
God said: Behold, darkness is between men; the son begotten in darkness fall” upon him begotten in the light.
And the Lord God said: Behold, I created man without sin, and I gave him warning, that he might remain holy on the face of the earth.
Thus it was that the Lord God created man; in the likeness of God created he him.
And the sons of Cain were called tribes, even unto this day, but the sons of the righteous were sons of God; wherefore it was said of old: Behold the sons of earth and the sons of heaven.
And from that time after the sons of God were called God’s chosen.
And it came to pass that man multiplied on the face of the earth; and the tribes were mightier than the sons of the Lord God, and the wickedness of man became great in the earth, and the desires of his heart were evil continually.
And the Lord God repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
And the Lord God said: I will destroy man whom I have created; nor will I spare beast nor creeping thing in the place I gave.
Egypt - God Snake, sacred snake
The Nemnir were nature’s voices on Earth, known as giants or the first gods, keepers of planetary and natural information.
He is often depicted as a counselor to the gods, and his backstory is intricately linked with the Aesir and Vanir gods.
Mímir was initially sent as a hostage from the Aesir to the Vanir gods during the Aesir-Vanir War, a conflict between two tribes of gods.
The exact nature of Mímir's being is unclear; sources vary on whether he was considered an Aesir god or a giant.
His role seems to encompass the preservation and transmission of ancestral tradition and knowledge, crucial for the actions and decisions of the gods.

1 Now the serpent was more devious than any sustenance of the territory which the YHWH God had made.

Referred to in the book of Genesis, it is the tree in the Garden of Eden whose fruit God forbade Adam and Eve to eat.
1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.
And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:
21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.
22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil.
23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.
It seems clear that the action by the gods of stationing the cherubim to keep does today in contemporary Hebrew) missile.
It seems clear that the action by the gods of stationing the cherubim to keep humans from the tree of life was actually denying the humans the knowledge of their heritage.
No longer would the Earth human be allowed to openly intermingle with the gods or leave the planet with them.
And when God found that Adam was lonely and needed the other part of him, it is said that his rib was taken out.
S: According to the legend they were cast out for trying to take from God what God wished to keep to Himself, which was the knowledge of shame.
This is what God gave you to spend your life in.
And to be ashamed of what is a God-given gift is a great sin.
In exploring the ancient Sumerian texts concerning early history and the nature of the conflicts of the gods, one gets a clear idea that Earth (in whole or in part) was involved with issues of territorial dispute by various groups at different times.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Notice that the word God changed for Lord God
8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
ii., 21) that “the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,” and while he slept God made Eve out of one of his ribs.
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Were instead of Elohim, God for English translations, changes to Yahweh (Elohim), the Lord God in English translations.
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
We shall not return to the garden, until the day in which God has promised to save us, and to bring us again into the garden, as He promised us.”
10 Then they prayed to God that He would have mercy on them; after which, their mind was quieted, their hearts were broken, and their longing was cooled down; and they were like strangers on earth.
This claim lacks support in ancient texts, where Alalu appears only as a primordial god in Hurrian-Hittite succession myths, with no mention of gold, Earth, or extraterrestrial elements.
In the first, Elohim, the generic Hebrew word for God, creates the heavens and the earth including humankind, in six days, and rests on the seventh.
In the second, God, now referred to as "Yahweh Elohim" (rendered as "the LORD God" in English translations), creates two individuals, Adam and Eve, as the first man and woman, and places them in the Garden of Eden.
Why would God create humans in God's own image?
The "Ninmah and Enki" myth is a fascinating example of Sumerian literature and mythology, showcasing the gods' creative abilities and the humorous aspects of their interactions.
His mother Nammu (creatrix also of Abzu and Tiamat) "brings the tears of the gods" before Enki and says
Oh my son, arise from thy bed, from thy (slumber), work what is wise,Fashion servants for the Gods, may they produce their (bread?).
Enki then advises that they create a servant of the gods, humankind, out of clay and blood. Against Enki's wish, the gods decide to slay Kingu, and Enki finally consents to use Kingu's blood to make the first human, with whom Enki always later has a close relationship, the first of the seven sages, seven wise men or "Abgallu" (ab = water, gal = great, lu = man), also known as Adapa.
Oh my mother, the creature whose name thou has uttered, it exists,Bind upon it the (will?) of the Gods;Mix the heart of clay that is over the Abyss,The good and princely fashioners will thicken the clayThou, do thou bring the limbs into existence;Ninmah (Ninhursag, his wife and consort) will work above thee(Nintu?) (goddess of birth) will stand by thy fashioning;Oh my mother, decree thou its (the new born's) fate.
The relationship is continuity of one survivor pattern: divine decision to destroy, a friendly god who warns one man, a craft that carries family and animal seed, a storm, mountain landing, sacrifice, and then either immortality (Mesopotamia) or covenant (Genesis).
Enki is the friendly god who warns him.
In Mesopotamian tradition Enki (Akkadian Ea) is the crafty water and wisdom god who side-steps the destroyer’s plan.
Utu, the sun god, sends light into it.
An and Enlil grant him life like a god’s.
The Great Gods decide on a Flood.
The gods smell the savor.
Enlil at first rages that a living being escaped, then blesses the pair: previously human, now like the gods, settled far away at the Mouth of the Rivers.
A friendly god warns one man (Enki / Ea / Cronus / YHWH)
Wickersham’s translation (via Livius) keeps the dream, the Sippar tablets, the huge boat, three bird releases, Armenia / Gordyenian landing, and translation to the gods.
He sacrifices, then disappears to the dwelling of the gods with his wife, daughter, and steersman.
