Abstract: One of the elements of Bobula, human culture which migrated from Western Asia into the Western World seems to be the concept of a benevolent, divine father who created mankind out of clay and who cares for the welfare of the Earth. The Mesopotamian divinity, who in contrast with most other male gods of the early Pantheon, was considered benevolent, was the watergod Enki. It seems that his cult was so deep-rooted that it survived the fall of Babylonia and was inherited by many younger nations, who brought it to Europe, where traditions which have come down to modern times seem to be the still-living fragments of this ancient cult.
