Cub Kuker Supernatural™ Podcast EP339

Sumerian mythology is rich and complex, featuring a pantheon of gods and goddesses, each with distinct characteristics and roles. Two of the prominent deities in Sumerian mythology are Ea (also known as Enki) and Enlil. These two gods indeed had contrasting attitudes toward humanity, which can be explored with the help of quotes from the "Epic of Atrahasis."

1. Ea (Enki):

Ea is often depicted as a god of wisdom, water, and magic. He is associated with the Apsu, the freshwater ocean beneath the earth.

Ea is portrayed as a benevolent deity who cared for and sought to protect humanity. He was considered a friend of humanity and was often seen as a source of guidance and assistance.

In the "Epic of Atrahasis," Ea is described as the god who warned Atrahasis (the Sumerian Noah figure) about the impending flood, advising him to build an ark to save humanity and animals.

2. Enlil:

Enlil, on the other hand, is a god associated with air, storms, and wind. He held a prominent position in the Sumerian pantheon and was often seen as a ruler of the gods.

In the "Epic of Atrahasis," Enlil is depicted as a god who wanted to suppress humanity due to their noisy and disruptive nature. He proposed to wipe out humanity with a catastrophic flood to restore peace and quiet to the world.

The quote "Enlil committed an evil deed against the people" in the "Epic of Atrahasis" refers to his decision to unleash the flood that would devastate humanity, an act viewed as malevolent from the human perspective.

Now, let's draw a connection between Enlil and the biblical God Yahweh:

Enlil's character and actions in Sumerian mythology bear some resemblance to certain aspects of the biblical God Yahweh, particularly when considering the story of the Great Flood in the Bible, which is often compared to the Sumerian flood myth. There are some similarities between Enlil and Yahweh in the context of these flood stories, such as the decision to destroy humanity due to their perceived wickedness.

In summary, in Sumerian mythology, Ea (Enki) was a benevolent deity who sought to help humanity, while Enlil was inclined to suppress it. Enlil's decision to send a flood to wipe out humanity in the "Epic of Atrahasis" can be compared to the biblical story of the Great Flood, where God's decision to flood the Earth has been seen as similar in nature.
