Detailed explanation-1: -Ensi (cuneiform: pa.te.si Sumerian: ensik, “lord of the plowland"; Emesal dialect: umunsik; Akkadian: iššakkum) was a Sumerian title designating the ruler or prince of a city-state. Originally it may have designated an independent ruler, but in later periods the title presupposed subordinance to a lugal.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anu (Akkadian: ANU, from an “Sky”, “Heaven”) or Anum, originally An (Sumerian: An), was the divine personification of the sky, King of the gods, and ancestor of many of the deities in ancient Mesopotamian religion.
Detailed explanation-3: -The god Ea (whose Sumerian equivalent was Enki) is one of the three most powerful gods in the Mesopotamian pantheon, along with Anu and Enlil. He resides in the ocean underneath the earth called the abzu (Akkadian apsû), which was an important place in Mesopotamian cosmic geography.
