Enki - Enlil

According to the ancient Sumerian texts, the Sumerian god, Anu, the “Supreme Lord of the Sky”, had two sons. They were Enki (Ea), Lord of the Earth and Waters (whose mother was Antu), and Enlil (Ilu), Lord of the Air and Lord of the Command (whose mother was Ki). These two half-brothers surprise, surprise did not get along. Critical to their rivalry was the fact that Enki had been the first of the Anunnaki to hazard a trip to Earth to begin a mining operation for gold. When this effort did not apparently produce gold in sufficient quantities, Enlil was brought in, given command, and armed with a new plan. The revised program was to mine gold from deep mines in the Earth. According to Sumerian texts, during a visit by their father, Anu, the Anunnaki made a decision: “The gods had clasped their hands together, Had cast lots and had divided. Anu then went up to heaven. To Enlil the Earth was made subject, the seas, enclosed as with a loop, they had given to Enki, the Prince of Earth.” “Enki was not happy about his brother’s promotion because, although Enlil was the elder of the two, his mother (Ki) was Anu’s junior sister, whereas Enki’s mother (Antu) was the senior sister. Enki maintained that he was the first born of the royal succession.” “I am the great brother of the gods. I am he who has been born as the first son of the divine Anu.”
