A fact from Enlil and Ninlil appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 June 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the setting of Nippur in the Sumerian creation myth of Enlil and Ninlil has been noted as "civitas dei", existing before the "axis mundi" and the creation of man?
The assertion "Robert S. Falkowitz discusses the possibility that the gods referred to were real people, saying "There are no indications in the narrative that Enlil and Ninlil are anything other than human. Semantic classifiers in the writing system and stock epithets categorize them as divine."" is an unexpected interpretation of my statement. I did not state that Enlil and Ninlil were real people. I stated that the narrative of the text portrays them as human. Any resemblance to real people was purely coincidental.
