During the exile Jews equated Yahweh with the Mesopotamian deity Ea or Enki (god of the fresh waters) to produce an image of Yahweh as bringer of fertility. Enki Bilal's sets locate the action in what looks like an abandoned factory, where the homeless live in hole's in the walls and militiamen patrol the roof with searchlights and guard dogs. The portrayal of a deity shaping the first humans out of clay appears in both ancient Egyptian creation mythology (where the god Khnum is the creator) and Sumerian myths (in one story the god Enki is the creator and in another the goddess Ninmah). |
