Default Enki as Goddess

Given the inconclusive interpretation regarding Sumerian Clay Tablets...is it not possible that Enki/Ea could in fact be female: the goddess...??

The name translates as "house of water" (the womb) and indeed Enki was the "scientist" who cloned/created humans or, as Sitchin writes, homo sapiens sapiens. Enki was given the epithet, "god of widsom/keeper of secrets", and was associated with horns/crescent moons/fins/water- all feminine attributes in terms of seeing through the lens of duality.
Enki, as first born (to Anu) also did not stand to inherit the throne (reason never fully explained). Why not? S/he was not male perhaps...??

It is well known that scriptures/ancient sources subvert the presence of the goddess. his-"story" as it were...why?
The people of Sumer were patriarchal and war-faring in terms of their social structure...more the "blade" (in terms of the chalice and the blade). obviously these very people scribed versions of their past upon clay tablets.
and recorders of history always have an agenda.

So you maybe asking, well, so what...?
my point, is the necessity to reclaim the feminine face of Creation: that there is a need to integrate this aspect that has been deeply wounded, robbed, censored and destroyed. If we are to "ascend" duality into unity consciousness (to open and trust our hearts, thus raise frequency) this needs to happen on a personal and collective level.
Reclaiming distortions of our past stories is a means of correcting imbalance.

I found Robert Morningsky's linguist research about the name "Adam" most interesting...he proposes that Adam is female, the feminine principal. "Eve", meant at the side of...coming out of the woman.

Personally I have found Sumerian mytho-stories makes more sense much (and palatable!) with Enki as Goddess....
