Eridu Poem by soren Barrett

Eridu the first city of Sumer around 8,000 BC. Existing long before writing. By the time of the Egyptians it was only a myth thousands of years in the past. Enki was the god of knowledge and water in this oasis in an arid land. It was at this time that people turned to agriculture from hunting and gathering. It is the source of the first creation and flood myths carried on down through Egypt to the bible.
