Document Summary
The minor gods did all the hard work. Enki is creator/trickster god and he is sleeping and they tell him to create subs for minor gods. Ninmah makes imperfect people to show that she is making fates for people. The man who can"t stretch out his weak hand is decreed servant. The blind man is made chief in presence of king. The one who has urinary problems is healed by enki. The infertile woman is made a weaver in queens household. The one with neither male or female reproductive organs a is called nibru eunuch and decreed to stand before king. The enki creates someone and gives their fate to ninmah. The human created has a lot of problems, can"t do anything. Ninmah is mad because all her stuff is destroyed. The man created didn"t fully developed because it wasn"t developed in the womb, no mom. In dilmun (modern bahrain) there is nothing, world not formed.
