"Enki whose name in Sumerian means 'lord of the earth', though in fact, he was the 'god of the sweet waters'. He was also the chief god of the city of Eridu and the god of wisdom and magic."
- Michael Roaf, Cultural Atlas of Mesopotamia

Enki is referred to as the "water God," but the word for semen and water are the same in the Sumerian tongue, so this is the scholastic translation of his name. His true name was the "semen God," or more appropriately, the genetic god -- known to us as a Material son. The scholastic world is secular, and would obviously translate the word to mean water, not semen, since that wouldn't make any sense to them. They think of him as a mythical god of fertility, and equate the "water" coming off his shoulders (in his depictions) with the Tigris and Euphrates river; it's actually a symbolic representation of a superhuman known to us as Adam, who was to be the genetic uplifter of all humanity.

"Enki is usually pictured with two streams, the Euphrates and the Tigris, flowing out of his shoulders or from a vase he holds. Frequently fish are swimming in these streams."

"His name Enki (i.e., en-ki), 'Lord (i.e., productive manager) of the soil', reflects the role of water in fructifying the earth....The power in water that makes the soil produce was thought to be of a kind with the engendering power in male semen. Sumerian does not differentiate semen and water; one word stands for both. It is therefore natural that Enki is the power to fecundate." - Thorkild Jacobsen, The Treasures of Darkness

One of the longest and best preserved Sumerian texts is called "Enki and the World Order," and once one understands the identity of Enki, a very interesting similarity emerges between Enki's world order, and the short-lived Adamic world order as depicted by the Urantia Papers. The following is a large portion of the poem, complete until the near end. I'm including most of it not because all the data is needed, but because it contains the story of Adam as was told by our distant ancestry, thereby giving it a human touch. Of course, this text was passed down through the oral scribes for tens of thousands of years, and so bears the usual pollution.

"ENKI AND THE WORLD ORDER":
Lord who walks nobly on heaven and earth, self-reliant, father Enki, engendered by a bull,
begotten by a wild bull,
prized by Enlil, the Great Kur,
loved by holy An, (AN OR ANU STAND FOR THE FATHER GOD) king, who turned out the mes-tree in the Abzu, (THIS MES-TREE STANDS FOR THE TREE OF LIFE)
raised it up over all the lands,
great usumgal,
who planted it in Eridu - (ERIDU WAS ENKI'S HEADQUARTERS -- EDEN) its shade spreading over heaven and earth - a grove of fruit trees stretching over the land. Enki, lord of the hegal the Anunna-gods possess. Nudimmud, the mighty one of the Ekur,
the strong one of An and Uras.
Nudimmud, the mighty one of the Ekur,
strong one of the Anunna,
whose noble house set up in the Abzu is
the mast of heaven and earth.
Enki, who, lifting but a single eye, convulses the Kur, where the bison is born,
the stag is born,
where the wild sheep is born,
the stag is born
in the...meadows,
and the pits in the heart of the hursag
in the verdant...
the place where no one dares to enter,
there you have fixed your eyes like a halhal-reed [a word from you] - and heaps and piles stack high with grain. [in the land] - be it fat -
be it milk -
the stalls and sheepfolds produce it.
[the shepherd] sweetly sounds his ilulamma-song. [the cowherd] spends the day rocking the churn next to him. You set out meals - the way it should be - in the dining halls of the gods.

FER 834: "The Adamic children did not take milk from animals when they ceased to nurse the mother's breast at one year of age. Eve had access to the milk of a great variety of nuts and to the juices of many fruits, and knowing full well the chemistry and energy of these foods, she suitably combined them for the nourishment of her children until the appearance of teeth...they ate once a day, shortly after noontime."

Your word: the young man thrusts it in to strengthen the heart. He gores in the courtyard like an ox with thick horns. Your word: the young woman sets it on her head as a lure. The people in all the settled cities gaze at her in wonder. Lords and rulers
to thrill their hearts, to bring them joy.

FER 829: "As the news of Adam's arrival spread abroad, thousands of the near- by tribesmen accepted the teachings of Van and Amadon, while for months and months pilgrims continued to pour into Eden to welcome Adam and Eve and to pay homage to the unseen Father."

Enlil, the great Kur, has empowered you. Enki, lord of the hegal
lord of wisdom
lord, beloved of An, ornament of Eridu,
who directs commands and decisions,
expert at fate-decreeing:

FER 821: "On a normal planet the arrival of the Material Son would ordinarily herald the approach of a great age of invention, material progress, and intellectual enlightenment."

You have locked up...by day,
you have made the month to enter its 'house'. You bring down the stars of heaven,
you have computed their number.
...you have given the people a place to live.

FER 824: "The architectural plans for Eden provided homes and abundant land for one million human beings. At the time of Adam's arrival, though the Garden was only one-fourth finished, it had thousands of miles of irrigation ditches and more than twelve thousand miles of irrigation ditches and more than twelve thousand miles of paved paths and roads. There were a trifle over five thousand brick buildings in the various sectors, and the trees and plants were almost beyond number. Seven was the largest number of houses composing any one cluster in the park. And though the structures of the Garden were simple, they were most artistic. The roads and paths were well built, and the landscaping was exquisite."

...you have looked after them,
you have made sure they follow their shepherd... ...you turned the weapons back into their 'houses'. ...you kept the people safe in their homes. Father Enki, come close to the seeded land: let it bear healthy seed.
Nudimmud, come close to the pregnant ewe: let it give birth to a healthy lamb.
Come close to the inseminated cow:
let it give birth to a healthy calf.
Come close to the pregnant goat:
let it give birth to a healthy kid.
Once you come close to the cultivated field, the germinated fields,
the heaps and piles stack high with grain in the high steppe.
Enki, king of the Abzu, celebrates his own magnificence - as is his right:

FER 832: "It was early on the morning of this seventh day and from the mount of their so recent reception that Adam held forth in explanation of the orders of divine sonship and made clear to these earth minds that only the Father and those whom he designates may be worshipped."

My father, ruler above and below,
made my features blaze above and below.
My great brother, ruler of all the lands, gathered all the me together,
placed the me in my hands.
From the Ekur, house of Enlil,
I passed on the arts and crafts to my Abzu, Eridu. I am the true offspring, sprung from the wild ox. I am a leading son of An.
I am the great storm the breaks over the 'Great Below': I am the great lord over the land.
I am the first among the rulers.
I am the father of all the lands.
I am the big brother of the gods,
the hegal is perfected in me.
I am the seal-keeper above and below.
I am cunning and wise in the lands.
I am the one who directs justice alongside An, the king, on the dais of An.
I am the one who having gazed upon the Kur, decrees the fates alongside Enlil:
he has placed in my hands the decreeing of fates at the place where the sun rises.
I am the one Nintu really cares for:
I am the one Ninhursag gave a good name.
(--Remember the names "Nintu" and "Ninhursag" for later)
I am the leader of the Anunna-gods.
I am the one born a leading son of An.
After the lord had proclaimed his loftiness, after the great prince had pronounced his own praise, the Anunna-gods stood up in prayer and supplication: Lord who stands watch over the arts and crafts,

FER 850: "The Adamites greatly excelled the
surrounding peoples in cultural achievement and intellectual development. They produced the third alphabet and otherwise laid the foundations for much that was the forerunner of modern art, science, and literature."

expert at decisions, adored one -
'O Enki, praise.
A second time, for the pleasure it gave him, Enki, king of the Abzu, celebrates his own magnificence - as it right:

FER 831: "On the fourth day Adam and Eve addressed the Garden assembly. From the inaugural mount they spoke to the people concerning their plans for the rehabilitation of the world and outlined methods whereby they would seek to redeem the social culture of Urantia from the low levels to which it had fallen as a result of sin and rebellion."

I am lord. I am the one whose word endures. I am eternal.
At my command stalls were built,
sheepfolds ringed about:
When it approached the above,
the hegal rain poured down from above.
When it approached the below,
there was a high carp-flood.
When it approached the green fields,
the heaps and piles of grain stacked high at my word. I built my house, the shrine, in a pure place, gave it a good name.
I built my Abzu, the shrine, in...
decreed for it a good fate.
My house - its shade stretches over the snake-marsh.

FER 824: "A zoological garden was created by building a smaller wall just outside the main wall; the intervening space, occupied by all manner of wild beasts, served as an additional defense against hostile attacks."

My house - there the suhurmas-fish wave their beards among the honey-plants,
its gud-fish wave their tails for me
among the small gizi-reeds,
its flock of birds keep chirping in their nests... Sacred songs and spells filled my Abzu.
The magur-boat, the crown, the Ibex of the Abzu, brought me much joy in its midst:
over the grand marsh, the place I have chosen, it swings its arms for me,
it stretches its neck for me.
Faultlessly the oarsmen drew the oars.
Sweet songs they sing, delighting the river. Nimgirsig, the ensi of the magur-boat
holds the golden scepter for me,
steers my boat - the Ibex of the Abzu - for me, Enki. I - the lord - I will go.
I am Enki,
I will draw near to my land...
Let the lands Magan and Dilmun
set eyes upon me - Enki.
Let Dilmun boats be loaded with wood.
Let the Magan boats be filled sky high.
Let the magilum-boats of Meluhha
transport gold and silver,
let them take it to Nippur for Enlil,
king of the lands.
To him who has no city,
who has no house,
the Martu - I furnish cattle as a gift.
The great prince who had drawn near to his land, the Anunna-gods speak with affection:
Lord who rides the great me,
the pure me,
who stands watch over the great me,
the myriad me,
who is foremost everywhere above and below, at Eridu, the pure place,
the most precious place
where the noble me have been taken in -
'O Enki, lord above and below, praise!
For the great prince who was passing through his land, all the lands, all the rulers,
all the incantation-priests of Eridu
the linen-wearers of Sumer,
carry out the lustration rites of the Abzu, stand watch over the holy places,
the precious places for father Enki,
cleanse the great house of the prince,
name its 'stations,'
purify the noble shrine, the Abzu,
carry into its midst the tall juniper,
the pure plant,
straighten the holy...
the noble water-courses of father Enki,
build with skill the staircase of Eridu at the good quay, moor the Ibex of the Abzu at the good quay, the noble quay,
set up the holy usga-shrine,
gave voice in prayer after prayer there to him...
...
Proudly, the king stepped forth,
father Enki came up to the land.
Because the great prince came up to his land, hegal prevailed above and below.
Enki decrees its fate:
Sumer, great Kur,
mada of what is above and below,
robed in enduring light,
settling the me upon the people
from sunrise to sunset,
your me are lofty me,

(REGARDING THE MEANING OF "ME": "He (ENKI) is a god of water, creation, and fertility. He also holds dominion over the land. He is the keeper of the me, the DIVINE LAWS." - Christopher Siren, "Sumerian Mythology FAQ")

untouchable,
your heart is a maze,
inscrutable,
your life-giving womb,
the place where the gods give birth: like heaven it cannot be touched.
It gives birth to kings who fasten the lasting diadem. It gives birth to the high priests who put crown to head.

FER 849: "The religious rulers, or priesthood,
originated with Seth, the eldest surviving son of Adam and Eve born in the second garden. He was born one hundred and twenty-nine years after Adam's arrival on Urantia. Seth became absorbed in the work of improving the spiritual status of his father's people, becoming the head of the new priesthood of the second garden. His son, Enos, founded the new order of worship, and his grandson, Kenan, instituted the foreign missionary service to the surrounding tribes, near and far."

Your lord, the honored lord, sits with king An, on the dais of An.
Your king, the great Kur,
father Enlil,
the father of the lands,
has blocked up the...like a verdant tree. The Anunna-gods, the great gods,
have taken up dwelling in your midst,
consume their food in your giguna
among your rare trees.

FER 825: "By the time of Adam's arrival most of the plants of that section of the world were growing in Eden. Already had many of the fruits, cereals, and nuts been greatly improved. Many modern vegetables and cereals were first cultivated here, but scores of varieties of food plants were subsequently lost to the world."

House, Sumer,
have your many stalls built,
have your cows multiply,
have your many sheepfolds set up,
have your sheep be many,
have your giguna reach the sky,
have your lasting shrine lift hand to heaven! He crossed to the shrine, Ur,
Enki, king of the Abzu, decrees its fate: City with everything proper to it, water-washed, a firm-standing bull,
a dais of plenty in the Kur, 'knees wide open,' lofty as a mountain
hasur-grove, wide of shade
counting on its own strength,
you can well direct the me that have been perfected for you. Enlil, the Great Kur, has pronounced your lofty name above and below.
City whose fate has been decreed by Enki, Shrine Ur, you can rise high to heaven.
He crossed to the Kur Meluhha,
Enki, the king of the Abzu, decrees its fate: Black Kur, your trees will be large trees, they will be me-groves of the Kur:
their thrones will be set in royal palaces. Your reeds will be large reeds,
they will be reeds of the Kur:
heroes work them as weapons in the battlefields. Your bulls will be large bulls
they be the bulls of the Kur:
their roar will be the roar of the bulls of the Kur.

FER 831: "It greatly surprised those who accompanied Adam on this trip to observe how fully he understood the nature and function of the thousands upon thousands of animals shown to him. The instant he glanced at an animal, he would indicate its nature and behavior."

The great me of the gods will be perfected for you. All the dar-birds of the Kur [wear] carnelian beards; your birds will be haia-birds;
their cries will fill the royal palaces. Your silver will be gold.
Your copper will be bronze-tin.
Kur, everything you have will [increase], your people will [multiply],
your male will go after his fellow male like a bull.
...
He cleanses and purified the kur-Dilmun, set Ninsikilla in charge of it.
Lagoons he allotted to the princely shrine. Dilmun eats its fish.
Palm trees he allotted to its fertile field. Dilmun eats their dates.
...Elam and Marhasi...
...who are all devouring,
The king, given power by Enlil
attacked their houses, attacked their walls; their silver, lapis lazuli, and storehouses he brought to Nippur for Enlil, king of all the lands. To him who had no city,
who had no house,
the Martu - Enki furnished cattle as a gift. Once he had turned his eye away from that spot, once father Enki had raised it over the Euphrates, he stood up full of lust like an attacking bull, lifted his penis, ejaculates -
he filled the Tigris with flowing water. A wild cow mooing for its young in the pastures, the scorpion-infested stall,
the Tigris clung to his side as to an attacking bull. He lifted his penis, brought the bridal gifts - like a big wild bull he thrilled the heart of the Tigris, stood by as it gave birth.
The water he brought is flowing water,
its 'wine' is sweet.
The grain he brought is gunu-grain,
the people eat it.
The Ekur, the house of Enlil, he packed with goods. With Enki, Enlil rejoiced,
Nippur exulted.
The lord fastened on the diadem of the en, put on the enduring tiara of the king,
trod the ground on his left side:
hegal sprang out of the earth for him.
The one who holds a scepter in his right hand, who to make the Tigris and Euphrates 'eat together,'

FER 833: "Pursuant to the advice of the Melchizedeks, he (Adam) began to foster the arts of manufacture with the idea of developing trade relations with the outside world. When Eden was disrupted, there were over one hundred primitive manufacturing plants in operation, and extensive trade relations with the near-by tribes had been established."

speaks words with an exulting mouth,
who carried away prosperity from the palace like fat, the lord who decrees the fates,
Enki, king of the Abzu,
Enbilulu, the inspector of canals,
Enki placed in charge of them.
He called the marshland:
stocked it with suhurhi and suhur-fish.
He called the canebrake:
stocked it with full-grown reeds and green reeds... The one from whose net no fish escapes,
from whose trap no...escapes,
from whose snare no bird escapes,
...the son of...
...loved by the fish,
Enki placed in charge of them.

FER 833: "He (Adam) was finally compelled to withdraw his program for immediate socialization; he fell back on Van's method of organization, dividing the Edenites into companies of one hundred with captains over each and with lieutenants in charge of groups of ten."

A shrine erected:
a holy shrine it is, its interior is like a maze; a shrine whose interior is a twisted thread, a thing unknown to man,
a shrine whose lower station is the roving iku-constellation, a holy shrine whose upper station moves toward the chariot-constellation,

FER 826: "When Van and his associates made ready the garden for Adam and Eve, they transplanted the Edentia tree to the Garden of Eden, where, once again, it grew in a central, circular courtyard of another temple to the Father.

a turbulent flood-wave...
its melam is awesome.
The Anunna-gods, the great gods, dare not go near it. He sets up...
the palace rejoiced.
The Anunna-gods stood before him in prayer and suppliance; for Enki, they set up a lofty dais in the Sea-House, for the lord...
the great prince...
the u-bird...
The Ekur, the house of Enlil, he packed with goods. With Enki Enlil rejoiced,
Nippur exulted.
The one who sets sail...
in the holy shrine,
the innin who induces copulation...
great flood-wave of the sea,
turbulent flood-wave,
the inundation of the sea...
who springs forth out of the sea-foam... the innin of Sirara,
mother Nanse,
the sea in all its breadth,
Enki placed in charge of it.
He called the rain,
the waters above,
fixed them there as floating clouds,
drives to the horizon their breath of life, turns the hillock into fields where emmer [grows]. The one who rides the great storm,
who charges with lightening,
who, with the holy bolt blocks up the inside of heaven, son of An,
the canal-inspector of heaven and earth. Iskur, the man of abundance,
the son of An,
Enki placed in charge of it.
Enki trained the plow, the yoke, and the team, great prince Enki furnished them with oxen that... he opened the mouth of the holy furrow,
made grow the grain in the seeded field. The lord who fastened on the diadem,
the ornament of the high steppe,
the tool expert
farmer of Enlil,
Enkimdu, the man of ditch and dike,
Enki placed in charge of them.
The lord called the seeded field,
stocked it with gunu-barley;
Enki stocked it with chick-peas, with lentils, with... heaped up in piles the estub-barley,
the gunu-barley,
the innuha-barley,
Enki multiplied the heaps and piles of grain; with Enlil he spreads hegal through the land. The one whose head and body are dappled, whose face drips honey,
innin, she
who breeds copulation,
vigor of the land,
the life of the Black Heads,
Asnan, the good bread,
bread of all the earth,
Enki placed in charge of it.
The great prince placed a string on the pickax, guided the brickmold,
made it penetrate mother-earth as if it were precious oil.
The one whose pronged pickax is a corpse-devouring snake that...
whose firmly set brickmold is a ...
that sets the...straight.
Kulla, mighty brickman of the land,
Enki placed in charge of them.
He fixed the cords, straightened the footers, erected a house at the side of the assembly, guided the lustrations.
The great prince set down the footers,
fitted the brickwork upon them.
The one whose footers once laid down do not sag, whose lasting house once built does not collapse, whose vault reaches to mid-sky like a rainbow, Musdamma, great builder of Enlil,
Enki placed in charge of them.
He gave the lofty steppe a holy crown to wear. To the high steppe he tied a lapis lazuli beard, fastened on it a lapis diadem.
The good earth he lavished with teeming vegetation. He multiplied the herd of the high steppe, placed them where they are supposed to be. He multiplied the rams and the wild rams in the pastures, made them breed.
The hero who is the crown of the high steppe, the king of the steppe,
great lion of the high steppe,
powerful,
the lofty hand of Enlil,
Sumugan, king of the hursag,
Enki placed in charge of them.

FER 834: "For the time being Adam abandoned all effort to establish representative government, and before the collapse of the Edenic regime he succeeded in establishing almost one hundred outlying trade and social centers where strong individuals ruled in his name."

He built stalls, directed cleaning of them. He raised the sheepfolds,
stocked them with the best fat and milk. He filled the dining halls of the gods with luxury. In the verdant steppe he dispensed hegal. The king,
the unfailing provider of Eanna,
friend of An,
the beloved son-in-law of valiant Sin,
the spouse of holy Inanna-
the innin,
queen of all the great me,
who fosters copulation in the boulevards of Kullab- Dumuzi, the usumgal of heaven,
friend of An,
Enki placed in charge of them.
The Ekur, the house of Enlil, he packed with goods. With Enki, Enlil rejoiced, Nippur exulted. He fixed the borders,
marked them off.
Enki, for the Anunna-gods,
erected the kiurua alongside the city,
set down fields and farms alongside.
The hero, the bull who bursts out of the hasur-forest, who roars like a lion,
the valiant Utu, the firm-standing bull
who proudly emblazons his power,
father of the great city,
the place where the sun rises,
the great herald of holy An,
the judge, the one who makes decisions for the gods, who has tied a beard of lapis lazuli,
who blazes out in holy heaven
out of the horizon,
Utu, son of Ningal,
Enki placed in charge of the universe in its entirety. He wove the mug-cloth,
guided the te,
Enki perfected the woman's art.
For Enki the people...the...garment.
The one who is the dignity of the palace, the decorum of the king,
Uttu, the unfailing woman of silence,
Enki placed in charge of them."

  There is another Sumerian poem entitled, "Enki and Ninhursag," from which I'm including a short excerpt:
(Enki:) Ninhursag, dearest Nintur, beloved, how can anyone quite compare to you? I cannot resist your wild, sweet ways, so lie with me one more time and fill my body, heart, soul and mind with endless delights! For me you will forever be my fierce Damgalnunna, my Great Spouse, passionate and very much loved!'

Ninhursag laughed and welcomed the eagerness of the Sweet Waters Lord. Nine days later, without the slightest labour or pain, the Great Mother Goddess gave birth to a lovely girl without the slightest travail or pain. The girl was called Ninsar, Lady Verdure, the Mistress of Vegetation, the green carpet of grass, leaves and flower beds that cover the surface of the earth.

Here we have Enki speaking with his wife, the "Great Mother Goddess" (Eve).
