	Decision and Information Sciences - ENKIMDU
		ENKIMDU simulations address natural processes (weather, crop growth, hydrology, soil evolution, population dynamics, etc.) and societal processes (farming and herding practices, kinship-driven behaviors, trade, etc.) interweaving on a daily basis across multi-decadal to multi-generational runs.
		SWAT is a recently released modeling suite that addresses growth of crops and other vegetation, soil evolution and degradation, moisture and heat exchange with the atmosphere, water and wind erosion, and distributed hydrology.
		ENKIMDU is on its way to being able to examine society-scale questions, such as long-term sustainability of settlement systems, as well as issues more relevant at the level of households and individuals.

	Semitic Mythology
		Inanna leaned toward Enkimdu, but Dumuzi told her that his flocks and herds of livestock could produce more wealth than could Enkimdu's fields.

		The rivalry between the farmer and the herder in this myth is echoed in the Jewish story of Cain and Abel.

		This is a classic example of internalizing the mechanisms of social control, by asking believers to doubt or question their obedience and to fear the consequences of disobedience.
		History: Mythographers believe that the story of Cain and Abel is a Hebrew version of the Sumerian myth of Dumuzi and Enkimdu, who were vying for the favor of the goddess Innana.
		Historically, this story is a mythologized image of the conflict between the older nomadic herding way of life and the newly developing urbanization and dependence on agriculture.

	Antiques AtoZ \| Leroy Golf Sumerian Seals
		It depicts Enkimdu, the agriculture god, plowing with a donkey and two helpers.
		Despite the importance of agriculture to the Sumerians, seals showing Enkimdu plowing are very rare, with only a few known of the 250,000 or so cylinder seals recovered to date.
		This may partly be due to the immense popularity of Inanna, who, according to Sumerian mythology originaly favored marrying Enkimdu, but was later coerced by the gods into marrying Dumuzi, the god of pastoralism and flocks.

	Sumerian Mythology: Chapter IV. Miscellaneous Myths
		The characters of our poem are four in number: the seemingly ubiquitous Inanna; her brother, the sun-god Utu; the shepherd-god Dumuzi; the farmer-god Enkimdu.
		Inanna does not answer, but Enkimdu, the farmer, who seems to be a peaceful, cautious type, tries to appease the belligerent Dumuzi.
		The latter refuses to be appeased, however, until the farmer promises to bring him all kinds of gifts and--here it must be stressed the meaning of the text is not quite certain--even Inanna herself.

		In an unusual partnership, Argonne computer scientists and Oriental Institute archaeologists are running a pilot study of Bronze Age Mesopotamian settlement systems.
		Using OI archaeological data and Argonne’s ENKIMDU simulation framework—software that models social and environmental processes—the program was funded in 2002 with a five-year, $1.2 million National Science Foundation grant.
		The MASS project is the first test of the ENKIMDU program, created by Christiansen.

	Abel - abe
		In critical scholarship, the prevailing theory is that the story is composed of a number of layers, with the original layer deriving from the Sumerian tale of the wooing of Inanna.
		In the tale, seen as representing the ancient conflict between nomadic herders and settled agrarian farmers, Dumuzi, the god of shepherds, and Enkimdu, the god of farmers, are competing for the attention of Inanna, chief goddess.
		The biblical correspondence in this theory being God to Inanna, Abel, the shepherd, to Dumuzi, and Cain, the farmer, to Enkimdu, and equating only to the competetive part of the story, Cain wandering away, and the extra-biblical traditions concerning the involvement of a beautiful woman.
