Sumer

Enki (/'?? ki/) or Enkil (Sumerian: dEN.KI (G) ??) is a god in Sumerian mythology, later known as Ea in Akkadian and Babylonian mythology.

Am); Trooper; water, sea water, lake water (a, aba, ab), intelligence (gestÃƒÆ'Ã‚Âº, literal "ears") and creation (Nudimmud: nu, rupa, mud dim, bear). He is associated with the constellation of the southern star called the Ea star, but also with the constellation A? -IKU, Field (Square of Pegasus). Beginning around the second millennium BC, he is sometimes referred to in writing by the numerical ideogram for "40," sometimes referred to as his "sacred number."

A large number of myths about Enki have been collected from many sites, stretching from southern Iraq to the Levantine coast. He describes the earliest pointy inscriptions that still exist throughout the region and stands out from the third millennium to the Hellenistic period.

The true meaning of the name is uncertain: the general translation is "Lord of the Earth": en Sumerian is translated as a title equivalent to "master"; originally a title awarded to High Priest; ki means "earth"; but there is a theory that ki in this name has another origin, possibly a kig of unknown meaning, or kur meaning "bump".

In Sumerian E-A means "water house", and it has been suggested that this was originally the name for a sanctuary for God in Eridu.
