Eden = Edinu (Garden tended by Adamu/Adapa in Sumarian myth)
Adamu.Adapa was formed from clay.
Apparently the god Enki had a pain in his rib and the goddes Ninti was created to help cure the pain.

This is a very good example of one religion influencing another. In my opinion, the Jewish exiles picked up some ideas in babylon. for example, the tower of Babel = babylon. Nimrod = a babylonian hero. Some people are pretty edgy about that sort of thing... but i don't think it harms my faith by any means. Yet another example is turning the water into wine = dionysius. If anything, i think it redounds to God's glory to show the sophistication of human culture, its ability to assimilate and display the divine truth in different ways, adapting to local cultures.

Did God clone the Creation story from Enki's rib, too?

Yes she was created for that reason but the pain went elsewhere in the body!

Pretty easy to see the story deteriorate when retold over and over for thousands of years.

Spreading your own brand of mythology was easier if you mixed it with the cultures you came across.

Easter = Astarte (that one always makes me laugh).
Jesus = Bacchus/Osiris/Mithra/many others

it is intersting to see how all the stories in the world can somehow relate with eachother.
