Which of the following Mesopotamian mythological figures was NOT a deity?

  • Enki
  • Enkidu
  • Enlil
  • Enkimdu
Explanation

Enkidu was not a deity in Mesopotamian mythology. He was a central character in the ancient epic of Gilgamesh and is often portrayed as a wild man created by the gods. While he possessed superhuman strength and abilities, he was not worshipped or revered as a deity like the other figures in Mesopotamian mythology. Enkidu's role in the epic was primarily as a companion and friend to Gilgamesh, and his character symbolized the connection between civilization and the natural world.
