Ea was the one who suggested that the Neanderthals be used as a base for a new creation.
This creation would take over their workload.
Ea basically said,
"All we (Elohim) have to do is upgrade them using our own genes." (Genesis 1:27)
Ea was a genetic engineer.
Within ancient Sumerian writings he is given credit for many other accomplishments other than engineering Homo sapiens.
It is said that Ea drained marshes by the Persian Gulf and replaced them with fertile agricultural land.
Ea also supervised the building of dams and dikes.
Ea didn’t engineer Homo sapiens without trial and error though.
His character was flawed as ancient Sumerian writings reflect.
He was somewhat careless at times.
Goodhearted is what Ea was, at least in regard to his creation.
Ea spoke before the councils of the gods on behalf of the new EArth race.
Ea was against the cruelties the other gods were imposing on humans.
Ea’s wishes were overruled by the other faction.
Ea did not intend for the human race to be treated harshly.
The rebellious god Ea formed an organization called, "The Brotherhood of the Serpent/Snake."
Ancient Egyptian writings tell us its ORIGINAL purpose was to educate the human race in TRUTH and to liberate the human race from its bondage, the same bondage portrayed within the movie, "The Matrix", where "AI"/Satan is the controller of the human race.
No other animal within ancient civilizations was more prominent or as important... than the SNAKE.
The snake is just one among many other symbols of the Brotherhood.
The snake is also a symbol used within Freemasonry, the Devils religion.
It is important for me to say again, not all Masons worship Satan, only the top 5% do.
Ea and his father Anu were said to of possessed profound ethical and spiritual knowledge.
This is the same knowledge that was later symbolized as trees in the biblical Adam and Eve story.
The biblical tree symbol (left) came from pre-Biblical Mesopotamian works, such as one showing a snake wrapped around the trunk of a tree, identical to later portrayals of the snake in Eden.
The picture below depicts the biblical Adam & Eve in Eden with the Serpent (Ea) wrapped around the tree.
