The texts indicate that the king is to dig “as
far as the limit of Nun.” Here, as in later scenes, the foundation ritual attempts to mimic
certain realities described in the Egyptian cosmogony. Nun is the name of the primeval
waters of chaos out of which the world was created. According to Egyptian creation
myths, out of Nun rose the primeval mound of earth on which the first temple was built.
In the context of the temple foundations, the “limit of Nun” may have been symbolized
by the water table.

Enki (/ˈɛŋki/; Sumerian: dEN.KI(G)𒂗𒆠) is the Sumerian god of water, knowledge (gestú), mischief, crafts (gašam), and creation (nudimmud), and one of the Anunnaki.
... ... ...
The exact meaning of his name is uncertain: the common translation is "Lord of the Earth". The Sumerian En is translated as a title equivalent to "lord" and was originally a title given to the High Priest. Ki means "earth", but there are theories that ki in this name has another origin, possibly kig of unknown meaning, or kur meaning "mound". The name Ea is allegedly Hurrian in origin while others [5][6] claim that his name 'Ea' is possibly of Semitic origin and may be a derivation from the West-Semitic root *hyy meaning "life" in this case used for "spring", "running water". In Sumerian E-A means "the house of water", and it has been suggested that this was originally the name for the shrine to the god at Eridu. It has also been suggested that the original non-anthropomorphic divinity at Eridu was not Enki but Abzu. The emergence of Enki as the divine lover of Ninhursag, and the divine battle between the younger Igigi divinities and Abzu, saw the Abzu, the underground waters of the Aquifer, becoming the place in which the foundations of the temple were built.
... ... ...
The main temple to Enki was called E-abzu, meaning "abzu temple" (also E-en-gur-a, meaning "house of the subterranean waters"), a ziggurat temple surrounded by Euphratean marshlands near the ancient Persian Gulf coastline at Eridu. It was the first temple known to have been built in Southern Iraq. Four separate excavations at the site of Eridu have demonstrated the existence of a shrine dating back to the earliest Ubaid period, more than 6,500 years ago. Over the following 4,500 years, the temple was expanded 18 times, until it was abandoned during the Persian period.[8] On this basis Thorkild Jacobsen[9] has hypothesized that the original deity of the temple was Abzu, with his attributes later being taken by Enki over time. P. Steinkeller believes that, during the earliest period, Enki had a subordinate position to a goddess (possibly Ninhursag), taking the role of divine consort or high priest,[10] later taking priority. The Enki temple had at its entrance a pool of fresh water, and excavation has found numerous carp bones, suggesting collective feasts. Carp are shown in the twin water flows running into the later God Enki, suggesting continuity of these features over a very long period. These features were found at all subsequent Sumerian temples, suggesting that this temple established the pattern for all subsequent Sumerian temples. "All rules laid down at Eridu were faithfully observed".[

The
Goddess wears a long robe with engraved depictions of
fishes and wavy lines, which possibly imitate flowing water.
... ... ...
A depiction which is similar to the “Goddess with
a Vase” can be seen on the facade of the temple of Innin at
Uruk (A zarpay 1987: 201; Fig. 13). It is a Kassite temple
built during the rule of Karaindash, ca. 1415 BC. The
facade portraits male and female deities alternately, who
hold vessels with spurting water in their both hands. ... ... ...
Each deity is built of 15 rows of
bricks, with 2 rows being used for the depiction of the head
with the headgear, and 1 - for the face itself (A zarpay
1987: 198-200; Fig. 14).
... ... ...
In all these three cases the head is unnaturally
small in relation to the entire body and such an elongation
of the body of the figure is due to standard sizes of bricks
die facades were made of (A zarpay 1987; 198, 199). The
figures made of rows of horizontal bricks are divided into
units of equal height. This division facilitates an understand
ing of their proportions, as the elements of the bodies
are often shown in one such unit, e.g., hands or the face in
die facade of the temple of Inshushinak (Fig. 15).... ... ...
Depictions situated on brick walls have a sort of a
grid, made by bonding of bricks. Thanks to this grid, it is
easy to analyse the image of die figure with regard to its
proportions. On the other hand, the bricks also influence
the appearance of the depiction. Their thickness often defines
die height of individual parts of the body, thanks to
which the figures on the friezes are elongated. Depictions
with no visible indications concerning dieir proportions
are carefully measured and analysed in order to gather data
with regard to that.
