Adam and Eve
Is Heru mentioned in the Bible and is the creation of Adam really an atom with the
nucleus telling the nucleolus (Eve) to go make ribosomes (she came from his rib allegory)?
The bible's Adam and Eve are understood to be a composite of several mythical characters found in various Mesopotamian accounts about the EDIN.
Adam is (1) Enkidu, (2) Adapa/Adaba, and (3) Dumuzi/Tammuz, while Eve is principally (1) Shamhat, and (2) Inanna/Ishtar, her patron goddess.
EDIN's gods and goddesses have been recast as Eden's god, Yahweh-Elohim. Ningishzida and Tammuz have been recast as the Cherubbim.
Eden's serpent is a recast of several Sumerian gods, living in the EDIN, who bore the epiteth usumgal, meaning "great serpent or "great dragon,"
a mythical beast with four legs, two horns, two wings, serpentine body and tail, and poisonous teeth.
