Keep and open mind here, can't remember exactly where I read this...but it's something to ponder on.
Ea and his father Anu were said to of possessed profound ethical and spiritual knowledge. This is the same knowledge that was later symbolized as trees in the biblical Adam and Eve story. The biblical tree symbol(left) came from pre-Biblical Mesopotamian works, such as one showing a snake wrapped around the trunk of a tree, identical to later portrayals of the snake in Eden. The picture on the left depicts the biblical Adam & Eve in Eden with the Serpent (Ea) wrapped around the tree.
From the tree in the Mesopotamian depiction hang two pieces of fruit. To the right of the tree is the half-moon symbol of Ea; to the left is the planet symbol of Anu. What this drawing indicates is that both Ea and his father Anu were associated with the snake and its teachings.
The ones who wanted to control the human race didn't want this knowledge to be known to humans, so it became THE FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE. The evil faction overthrew Ea. The Brotherhood of the Serpent/Snake was then turned against him. They taught falsehoods about Ea. Because of all the LIES that were taught, many people today think the Serpent in Eden is Satan (a liar and evil doer) and not Ea (a freedom fighter).
Ancient Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and biblical texts relate that the "snake" or Prince Ea was quickly defeated by other factions.
Ea's title was no longer "Prince of EArth." It changed to "Prince of Darkness." Other horrible names were attached to him as well such as, Satan, the Devil, Evil incarnate, Monarch of Hell, Lord of Vermin, Prince of Liars. This of course is where Satan fooled everybody into thinking he was God and God was Satan. (God = Satan, Satan = God)

Interesting, I actually just recently found out the parallels between the Mesopotamian and Christian mythologies, and I must say that it is a lot more convincing than the parallels between Christianity and, lets say, Egyptian, or Hindu, or Norse (though, of course, there are parallels between them) This is have not heard before though, thanks for the info.
In many mythologies (some more ancient than the Christian one) the snake was a symbol of power and wisdom. Is it any wonder the early Hebrews/Christians wanted to turn people from this potent talisman so as to encourage them to their (Hebrew/Christian) religion?
Most of the demons in Christian mythology are 'gods' of other mythologies. It was a common device to lower those other religions.

Scholarship almost as reliable as the local stuff that Yahweh is a dragon.
