Let us consider the myth described briefly in the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian
version of the Genesis epoch of Torah. In the Book of Enki, combined elements of the
Enuma Elish with the more than 15,000 cylinder seals unearthed in modern Iraq and
Saudi Arabia are used to explain the story of the Annunaki, who “from the heavens to
earth came in chariots alight with flame.” Here we see a depiction from an engraved
cylinder seal of the Sumerian Ziasudra, called Utnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh,
entering a cubical-ark. This Sumerian legend was the precursor to the Torah tale of
Noah. So we see the twin-workers helping Noah board his ark wearing the masks of
Gilgamesh, later emblazoned as the mask of Agamemnon, et in Arcadia ego. The
figure standing off to the left side is presumeably ENKI, the Sumerian Annunaki of
the element water, seen here without his customary array of waterfalls, having
passed them onto the ark.
