I thought it was really weird too! That's why I wonder if it's really a Sumerian folklore, legend, parable or whatever it is. Cause it's odd to me, but maybe not to the Sumerians.
I agree about the tablets. They seem like an interesting society and I would love to learn more about them at a later time. (I barely find time to read this book what with school and work.)

Whew! I'm glad I don't go to BYU!
It's interesting how we all find it awkward to read that (I know I did) and yet, back in the day it wasn't uncomfortable to talk about. I bet they told it as a bedtime story to their kids. Just think, in thousands of years, people will think we were weird and possibly immoral for reading our kids Sesame Street Books. Or something like that. Although, we do have Grimm's Fairy Tales this day and age, which are pretty gruesome.
I really can't get an idea in my head of what Hiro looks like. It keeps changing as I read and it's never a clear picture. If anyone has any good pictures from the internet, they should post them. Or if you're an artist, render your own image of Hiro and put it on. I would appreciate it. Seriously.
P.S. Thanks Chels for the info about the store that sells our "stuff". I will be going there soon. I need some more.

If anyone knows any more, I'd love to hear about it.
I know they wrote on clay tablets, used cuneiform and had a god named Enki. But is the whole semen story true? I really do want to know! Is it all true beliefs of that culture? Also, I found out Sumerians invented the wheel. Very interesting, eh?
