In this volume, \u003cem\u003eEnki of Eridu\u003c\/em\u003e, the journey begins in the marshlands of southern Mesopotamia, where the first city was raised upon the waters and kingship was said to have descended from the heavens. Here stood Eridu, home of the god Enki, lord of wisdom, crafts, and the deep Abzu-the subterranean waters that nourished both land and spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on mythic texts and archaeological discoveries, \u003cem\u003eEnki of Eridu\u003c\/em\u003e reveals how this primordial city became the axis of civilization.

Within their walls, rituals of fire and water sought to channel the power of the Anunnaki, while the divine decrees-the me-were bestowed upon humanity, setting in motion the laws, arts, and knowledge that shaped the ancient world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Eridu's origins as the \"first city\" to its enduring legacy in later myths of Eden, paradise, and the flood, this book explores how the god Enki guided humanity's first steps toward culture and survival. \u003cem\u003eEnki of Eridu\u003c\/em\u003e invites readers into the living memory of the world's earliest temple city, where heaven and earth first met, and where the covenant between gods and mankind was forged in the shimmering waters of the Abzu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ishmael Ningishzida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798231955015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ningishzida Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Ishmael Ningishzida","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588356223231,"sku":"9798231955015","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/enki-of-eridu-the-master-ishmael-ningishzida-9798231955015","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
