The Babylonians had a successful, simple government. They had laws, punishments, and one ruler. The laws were much harsher than ours, and the basic units of society were family and tribe. The government also had responsibility for widows and orphans. It had adoption policies and marriage markets.

Amma-an-ki

Dogon considers Amma-anki the creator of all life on Earth. According to the mythology the first Amma-anki intercourse with the Earth did no produce twins. It was attributed to Amma for breaking the universe's order. Thus, the jackal was associated as a troublemaker and a disorder. However, the creation of the primordial divine twins was possible after a second interaction with Earth.
