One
of the
elements
of
Bobula,
human
culture
which
migrated
from
Western
Asia into the Western World seems to be the concept of a benevolent,
divine father who created mankind out of clay and who cares for the welfare of the Earth.
The Mesopotamian divinity, who in contrast with most other male
gods of the early Pantheon, was considered benevolent, was the watergod Enki. It seems that his cult was so deep-rooted that it survived the
fall of Babylonia and was inherited by many younger nations, who brought
it to Europe, where traditions which have come down to modern times
seem to be the still-living fragments of this ancient cult.
