'Taking on board 'the seed of living beings' rather than the animals themselves not only reduced the space requirements to manageable proportions; but it also implied the application of sophisticated biotechnology to preserve varied species - a technique being developed nowadays by learning the genetic secrets of the DNA. This was feasible since Enki was involved; for he was the master of genetic engineering, symbolised in this capacity by the entwined serpents which emulated the double-helix DNA' - Zecharia SitchinEnki played the Saviour role to Mankind. He was the creator of 'the Adam'; one of the Terran Human races of Mankind - 'the primitive worker'. He thus understandably termed the doomed earthlings 'my humans'. As chief scientist of the Anunnaki Humans, he could select, obtain and provide 'the seed of all living things' for preservation. He possessed the knowledge of resurrecting animals from their seed DNA. He was also suited to the design of 'Noah's Ark' - a vessel of a special design which could survive the avalanche of water.
The specially designed board was described in Babylonian sources as a 'Tzulili - a term which even today denotes a submersible boat - a submarine. The Sumerian term for such a vessel was MA.GUR.GUR meaning 'a boat that can turn and tumble'.
It makes sense it was Enki who designed the boat. Before he was given the title EN.KI he was known as E.A - 'he whose home/abode is water'. Ea enjoyed sailing E.DIN's waters alone owith mariners, when in setting up the gold-mining operations around South East Africa, he also organised the transportation of ores to the E.DIN in cargo vessels.
Without such a boat as the Tzulili, designed by Enki, the Adam race of Humans would not have survived the deluge ...
