Want to hear my answer? Again?ok, goober.
According to some Sumerian flood myths, Enlil (god of wind and storms) was annoyed by human noise and decided to destroy them with a flood. Enki (god of water and wisdom) secretly instructed a righteous man to build an ark to save his family and animals.
In Sumerian texts, it is portrayed as a garden-city where humans first learned to farm and serve the gods ancientoriginstours.com. The warning to “not eat of the food of death” in Eridu parallels the biblical Eden story, showing how the Sumerian myth influenced later traditions. The Sumerian Garden of Eden is a mythic concept rooted in ancient Mesopotamian religion, representing the divine paradise and the dawn of agriculture.
Ironically, these 2 stories are part of the Eridu GENESIS. LOL
To solve this, the god Enki (also called Ea in Akkadian) proposed creating humans to take over the labor. The mother goddess—often called Ninhursag (or a similar figure like Mami/Nintu)—then creates humans by mixing clay with the blood of a sacrificed god.
