At first, there were only gods and goddesses living on planet Earth. They work the land everyday, they knew how to grow crops, and took care of the animals. Taking care of the planet was not an easy task to do, but the gods and goddesses had no choice but to work hard everyday. Each god and goddesses were assigned different tasks. Some dug the fields, other brought water, other planted the seeds.
One day the gods and goddesses were very unhappy. They got together to discuss what could be done. The reason for the unhappiness was that they didn’t want to do all the hard work. The gods and goddesses didn’t want to work hard–they wonder what could be done to make their job easier. They couldn’t find the solution to the problem, so they went to Enki’s house. Enki was a very smart god. He lived in his underwater house, and he always found a solution.
Enki decided to create new creatures to serve the gods and goddesses. The new creatures would get the job done for them. The other gods and goddesses loved Enki’s idea. So, Enki breathed life into the clay figures he made. Unfortunately, the god decided that the humans would live a short life, and only the gods and goddesses would be immortal.
Once the humans were old enough to work, they were put work. The humans became the servants of the gods and goddesses. The humans provided the food and drinks and work the land. Overall, the humans did everything for them. With all the hard work, the humans brought more life to the land, and the gods and goddesses no longer had to work. They were very happy with the results.
( Many religions have come and gone, it’s only a matter of time before modern religions become a thing of the past. The more I study the ancient religions, the more I realize that nobody knows for sure how it all began)
