"Iraq’s clay man" by Stephen M. Miller
Adam wasn’t the only human created from the ground, according to another ancient Middle Eastern story: Epic of Gilgamesh. In this story from what is now Iraq in the 1700s BC the earth goddess Aruru made a man named Enkidu from clay. Wild animals raised him, as the story goes. A Visual Walk Through Genesis, page 28.
