Enki (Sumerian: dEN.KI(G) was a god in Sumerian mythology, later known as Ea in Akkadian and Babylonian mythology. He was originally patron god of the city of Eridu, but later the influence of his cult spread throughout Mesopotamia and to the Hittites and Hurrians. He was the deity of crafts (gašam); water, seawater, and lakewater (a, aba, ab), intelligence (gestú, literally "ear") and creation (Nudimmud: nu, likeness, dim mud, make bear). He was assimilated to the zenith in the Sun's path at the winter solstice. His sacred number name was "40".

The exact meaning of his name is uncertain: the common translation is "Lord of the Earth": the Sumerian en is translated as a title equivalent to "lord"; it was originally a title given to the High Priest; ki means "earth"; but there are theories that ki in this name has another origin, possibly kig of unknown meaning, or kur meaning "mound". The name Ea is allegedly Hurrian in origin while others claim that it is possibly of Semitic origin and may be a derivation from the West-Semitic root *hyy meaning "life" in this case used for "spring", "running water." In Sumerian E-A means "the house of water", and it has been suggested that this was originally the name for the shrine to the God at Eridu.

  • @Riah0220 I aswell thought they were "step brothers"

  • well, he refers to him both as ''my son'' Enki, and Father Enki. this might indicate the Enlil spoke as ''high commander'' by calling him his son(subaltern), Then stating Enki's place/rank of power by titling him as a father. (not unlike in france, were high lords could attain the ''father of the kingdom'' status)

  • kill self please

  • enlil was enkis father? i though they were brothers?

  • great vid thank you keep them coming ben

  • 5 stars
