Redpill: Sitchin is a liar and possibly an agent but maybe simply a useful agent. His work is based on his own hack translations that don't stand up to basic scrutiny. It's useful for TPTB if you remain ignorant of human history and the forces that encouraged other humans to create an advanced civilization 6000 years ago

Ah I figured as much. What do you mean by the last part ie. which forces?

Let's ignore his translations and stick to the well-accepted ones.
The point remains:
If the good guy, Enki, who made humans want humans to be treated right and the bad guy, Enlil, doesn't, we won't want to follow the bad guy. In Sumerian religion, the bad guy, Enlil:
Ordered humans be made so that they didn't have to be the ones to mine the earth.
Caused disasters because we were too plentiful in number.
Eventually wanted to remove us completely via the great flood.
Did not want us to have any wisdom, knowledge, or free will.
Now, if the Torah, Bible, and Quran all borrow from Sumerians, what does that say about their creation myth?
The Abrahamic God is clearly Enlil, the one who wanted humans as slaves. The Forbidden Knowledge of Good and Evil Adam and Eve gained from Lucifer, is knowledge given to the humans by Enki in order to survive the disasters the Anunakki throw at humans. Sumerian religion is clear, but the Abrahamic religions that follow it reworked everything to make the slave-driver Enlil seem like the 'one true god.' That's why he's so cruel and insane in the.Old Testament. Enlil was fucked up.

Interesting post but I feel like this is missing the point somewhat. Enlil and Enki are harmonious beings - Enlil formed humans, and Enki breathed life, knowledge and divine creativity into them.
Judgements issued by Enlil are sent forth from the throne of Heaven.
A priestly class worshipping Marduk overturned Enlil's position late in Mesopotamian civilization, about 3200 years ago, but Sumerians would have understood the duality.
The God of the Yahwists borrows most from his origins in Canaan.
