"The Founding of Eridu" is the 28,800 word, sixth, and final story in the "Pumi in Sumeria" series wherein Pumi lays the foundation for the city of Eridu as the wheels he has set in motion continue to churn forth Sumerian civilization. This story is a re-imagining of the seminal Sumerian myth of the Anunnaki descending from heaven to bestow the city and its kingship to Enki; "God of Fresh Water, Wisdom, and Magic" and "teacher to mankind." "En_ki" is Sumerian for "Lord Pumi ('earth')." This is that story told true. That, plus an origin story for the "Land of the Dead," plus a few other things.
