"In Eridu, Alulim became king; he ruled for 28800 years. Alalngar ruled for 36000 years. 2 kings; they ruled for 64800 years. Then Eridu fell and the kingship was taken to Bad-tibira." 
Eridu, where Innanna came to receive the gifts of wisdom.
Eridu, home to Adapa, great culture hero and mortal from a godly lineage, who brought the arts of civilization, who in visiting heaven refused the food of immortality.
Peter Weyland anyone? "Eridu" seems to be offering us a mythological key to the whole movie.
