Ki is the Sumerian word for earth, and she was personified as a goddess and female counterpart to An (the heaven god). In Sumerian myth, An and Ki produced a variety of plants on the earth. They were thought to be the offspring of the goddess Nammu and were originally united as one. Later they were separated by their son Enlil and moved away from each other. An became the ruler of heaven and Ki became the ruler of earth.
Ki is also identified with the goddesses Ninmah, the great queen; Ninhursag, the queen of the cosmic mountain; Nintu, the queen who gives birth; and many more. She set the stage for the organization of the universe, the creation of man, and the establishment of civilization.
