		A "sorcerer" volunteers, and is dispatched to the surroundings of Uruk, where he dires up the milk supply in the holy stables of Nisaba, the goddess who holds the pure stylus, the laws of the land and who knows of the numbers, the patroness of the learned scribes.
		Enmerkar proved himself worthier than En-suhgir-ana in the battle of wits, and as such conquered the victory, but Aratta did not lose the battle, was not destroyed or turned into rubbles.

		For his part he was anxious that her temple in Uruk should be of the highest quality, and accordingly he beseeched her to forsake her husband in Aratta, and by blighting his city with drought force him into subservience to Uruk.
		It is interesting to note that the first and second of these epics once again involve Enmerkar’s campaigns in Aratta, and in these Lugalbanda is merely an officer in Enmerkar’s army.
		Enmerkar wishes to get a message back to Inanna in Uruk, requesting permission to call off the siege, but can find no envoy to cross the dangerous mountains until Lugalbanda volunteers.

	Tower of Babel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		So I founded it, I made it; as it had been in ancient days, I so exalted the summit.
		There is a similar story in Chaldean mythology called Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta where two gods, Enki and Enlil, have a rivalry and end up confusing the tongues of all humankind.
		One recent theory gives evidence that the actual remains of the Tower of Babel, built by Enmerkar / Nimrod, are the much older ruins of the Ziggurat of Eridu, the "original Babel", just south of Ur.

		In contrast, the Biblical accounts of both creation and the flood are paralleled in Egyptian, Babylonian, Sumerian and Phoenician literature.
		A Sumerian epic entitled Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta is the closest parallel to the Genesis story.
		Either way, in Enmerkar diversity of languages is a matter of competition between the gods Enlil and Enki within the context of a polytheistic belief system.

	2blowhards.com: Kaurismaki and Noe with Aaron Haspel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		According to Professor Samuel Noah Kramer in his book, The Sumerians: Their History, Culture and Character: "...it is highly probably that the Sumerians themselves did not arrive in Sumer until sometime in the second half of the fourth millennium B.C. Just where their original home was is still quite uncertain.
		To judge from a cycle of epic tales revolving about Enmerkar and Lugalbanda, the early Sumerian rulers seem to have had an unusually close and intimate relationship with a city-state known as Aratta, probably situated somewhere in the region of the Caspian Sea.
		The Sumerian language is an agglutinative tongue, reminiscent to some extent of the Ural-Altaic languages, and this fact may point to the same general area as Aratta." The Ural-Altaic languages include Finnish, Hungarian, Mongolian, and Turkish languages, among others.

	McClung Museum - Royal Tombs of UR - Woolley and the Great Flood
		TREASURES FROM THE ROYAL TOMBS OF UR The story of a devastating flood is a key element in a number of Mesopotamian compositions.
		After Kish, kingship was transferred to Uruk and the later kings of the dynasty include Enmerkar, Lugalband, and Gilgamesh, figures well known from Mesopotamian literature.
		The epic of Atrahasis, written in Akkadian, can be dated by colophon (scribal identification) to the reign of Hammurabi's great grandson, Ammi-saduga (1646-1626 BC), and it continued to be copied into the first millennium.

		The Kings of the Third dynasty of Ur (2112-2004 B.C.) declared themselves and their city descended from the semi-divine heroes Enmerkar, Lugalbanda and Gilgamesh, who lived around 2700 B.C, and whose tales were at first transmitted orally, and were much modified.
		But our earliest discovered versions come from 18th and 17th centuries B.C. The Epics of Enmerkar and Lugalbanda deal with historical events of the 4th and 3rd millennia B. (4th millennia = 3999 to 3000 B.C., 3rd 2999-2000 B. They are historical epics that tell of relations between Mesopotamia and Iran.
		It appears that Gilgamesh himself was a real person, the leader of a proto-literate Uruk of around 2700 B.C. When the Babylonians (who spoke Akkadian) took over, little more than the Epic of Gilgamesh was translated.
