One of the biggest problems with interpreting certain parts of ancient texts, such as the Book of Genesis, and other writings, can be traced back to an almost fanatical obsession.

Igigi unrest leading to the Zu Incident was just a harbinger of other troubles to come—troubles inherent in long-term interplanetary missions—female companionship was one of the significant problems. There was also trouble among the Earth-based Anunnaki, especially those assigned to mining duties. While the gods, like men, bore the toil and work, there was great toil, and the result was heavy; there was much distress. Despite the absence of men on Earth, the gods toiled as though they were men. Enki and Ninmah achieved that feat, but it was not a story with a happy ending.
