Hey everyone! Just a quick clarification: in the dramatization of the video, we simplified some details for a streamlined story. Ea is actually the son of Anu, who is not mentioned in the condensed story we present. This technically makes Ea part of the second generation of gods in proper mythology, as Anu is the child of Apsu and Tiamat. Also, I borrowed an element from the Atrahasis tablets for the detail of mankind being created from clay. In the original text of the Enuma Elish, Marduk instructs Ea to make mankind with his magic from Kingu’s blood, but no clay is mentioned in the Enuma Elish specifically. Appreciate your understanding, and feel free to share your thoughts!
