Yes, copied though... It is the modern incarnation of Enki's epitaph. He was the dude that brought us scientific and medical enlightenment, per the Sumerians.
However, followers of Enki fell into a bad rap as Enlil-ite rulers took over... And then religions spawned around it. And followers of Enki had to create the first secret society to further his ideals, The Brotherhood of the Snake.
And what happened to the Brotherhood is the most corrupt thing that could ever happen. And secret societies today have no connection to the original Brotherhood of the Snake. Secret societies today are the corrupt versions of the original brotherhood, which was meant to keep Enki's truths alive. Because Enki is our Creator. And Savior.
Now, he's associated with wicked things like the Serpent in Eden (he actually was the serpent in ED.IN, but in a good way), and Satan and the "devil". It just strikes me so funny that people today that follow these religions repent their true creator and savior (enki), and follow the one who wanted to kill us all (enlil).
