Enki is the god who brings civilization to humanity
The ancient Iraqis knew Enki as the god who brought civilization to humanity; He is the one who gives the rulers their intelligence and knowledge, and he is the one who opens the “doors of understanding”... And [Enki] was not the ruler of the universe, but rather the gods’ wise advisor and big brother... And most importantly, he was the custodian of the “mi” [the laws of civilization], which were explained by the great Assyrian scholar Samuel Noah Kramer says it is “a fundamental, well-established and comprehensive set of powers and duties, regulations and standards, principles and decrees, pertaining to civilized life.”
Enki is one of the most important gods in Sumerian mythology, later known as Ea or Ea in Akkadian and Babylonian mythology. His worship began as the great patron of Eridu in Sumer, Then his worship spread throughout Mesopotamia, extending to the lands of the Hittites and Hurrians. He was the god of crafts, professions, crafts, and inventions (gesham), of intelligence and wisdom (gestu, literally “ear,” an ancient connection between hearing and understanding), fresh water, fertility, and creation (nudimmud: no, semi, dem mod, carrying, i.e. “ The bearer of likeness,” which is man, and this is an ancient origin of the religious concept in the Abrahamic religions that man was created in the image of God, that is, the creator of the soul and body, and he is the healer who recovers from diseases (the god of medicine), and he is the reviver of the dead, and the protector of human civilization and human existence. The sacred number of his name is "40".
It is not known exactly what the true meaning of the name is, but the most common translation is “Lord of the Earth”: Whereas the Sumerian “In” was translated as a title equivalent to the meaning of “Lord” or shepherd; “Ki” means “earth”; But there are other theories that say that the ki in this name goes back to another origin, perhaps kur meaning “hill”, but the first meaning is stronger.
