History
English term or phrase: called forth the AL.ANI
There is a strong suggestion in the Old Testament that man already existed when he was placed by God in the Garden of Eden. A text, The Myth of Pickaxe,named by Professor Samuel Kramer, confirms this and suggests that the Lord God was Enlil who travelled to Africa and seized the LU.LU slave by force :

The Lord called forth the AL.ANI,
gave its orders.
He set the earth-splitter as a crown
upon its head,
and drove it into the Place-Where-Flesh-Sprouted-Forth.
In the hole was a head of a man;
from the ground, people were
breaking through towards Enlil.
He eyed the Black-headed Ones
in steadfast fashion.

In other texts, the Place-Where-Flesh-Sprouted-Forth was referred to as Bit-Shimti,the 'house' of Shimti.

J'en déduis qu'il s'agit du nom d'un peuple, comme d'ailleurs les lu.lu. (Mais où vont-ils chercher tout ça ?)

"t was in the western Eden, also known as the Abzu or Lower World, that Enki and Ninti created the LU.LU slave, a detail which is confirmed by finds of the oldest Homo sapiens fossils in Africa. It was in these mineral-rich lands that man was put to work in the dangerous process of extracting minerals from deep underground.

A text known as The Myth of the Pickaxe explains what happened next. In the eastern Eden, Enki’s brother and rival, Enlil, was besieged by his underlings, who complained that the slaves were being unfairly monopolised in the Lower World. Enlil, described in the following text as ‘the Lord’, reacted accordingly:

The Lord called forth the AL.ANI, gave its orders. He set the earth splitter as a crown upon its head, and drove it into the Place-Where-Flesh-Sprouted-Forth. In the hole was a head of a man; from the ground, people were breaking through towards Enlil. He eyed the Black-headed Ones in steadfast fashion."
