Anu exposes his project to Belet-Ili, the womb, mother of whole.
"As Belet-Ili, the Womb, is here,
Let her manufactures a prototype of man:
He will carry the yoke of gods-
He will carry the yoke of Igigu,
It is the man that will be charged with their labor! ...
Therefore the Igigu interpellate the goddess, they asked to the
Midwife of gods, Mammi-The-Expert:
" It is you who will be the womb to produce men,
So! produce the human-prototype:
Make him wear our yoke-
Make him wear our yoke imposed by Enlil-
Make the man assume the chore of gods! "
