“The daughter of Sin was determined to go
To the dark house, dwelling of Erkalla's god,
To the house which those who enter cannot leave,
On the road where travelling is one-way only,
To the house where those who enter are deprived of light,
Where dust is their food, clay their bread.
They see no light, they dwell in darkness,
They are clothed like birds, with feathers.”
― Myths from Mesopotamia: Creation, the Flood, Gilgamesh, and Others
To the dark house, dwelling of Erkalla's god,
To the house which those who enter cannot leave,
On the road where travelling is one-way only,
To the house where those who enter are deprived of light,
Where dust is their food, clay their bread.
They see no light, they dwell in darkness,
They are clothed like birds, with feathers.”
― Myths from Mesopotamia: Creation, the Flood, Gilgamesh, and Others
“Desde la niñez, nos han hecho considerar este lugar como la cuna de la raza humana.”
