The Myth of Adapa (also known as Adapa and the Food of Life) is the Mesopotamian story of the Fall of Man in that it explains why human beings are mortal. The god of wisdom, Ea, creates the first man, Adapa, and endows him with great intelligence and wisdom but not with immortality, and when immortality is offered Adapa by the great god Anu, Ea tricks Adapa into refusing the gift.

is Enlil "Anu" in this story? I know EA is Enki…
Beautiful presentation, AAA..
This is a great story of Adapa. We humans were denied a life of longevity by deception, with our lifespan being reduced to 120 years. It's very sad when you think about the aging process that happens to us human. Other species in the universe lives for thousands of years. We humans were cheated.
Oannes is Enki
He doesnt truly trick him but yet a lesson in life and how we will eventually arrive at that moment, but not instant gratification.
