In Sumerian texts, Me' s were portable objects which held all the knowledge and other aspects of a high civilization.
One can envision them as some kind of computer disks or memory chips which in spite of their minute size hold the vast amount of information.
When Kippur was to become after the deluge city of men, Enlil complained to Any that Enki was keeping all the Me to himself using them only to enhance Eridu and Enki's hideaway in Abzu (Africa). Enki was forced to share those essential Me with Enlil.
When Inanna wished to make Uruk a great urban centre she set out to Enki's Adobe to pry some essential Men's out of her great uncle.
A text "Inanna and Enki" and subtitled by modern scholars "The transfer of the art and ciciliza6from Eridu to Erech" describes how Inanna journeyed in her boat of heaven to the Abzu in South eastern Africa where Enki has secreted away the Me's.
Enki ordered his chamberlain to prepare a banquet meal with plenty of vines made and sweet dates.
Inanna brought the subject of Men's.
He showed her niece some of Me for the lordship of the exalted and ensure g tiara, the Me for the drone of Kingship.

Bright Inanna took them and asked for more. Enki showed her Me' s for the exalted sceptre and staff, the exalted shrine, and righteous Rulership.
Another Me provided functions and attributes of Divine Lady temples and rituals priests and attendants, justice and courts, music and arts, masonry and woodworking metalwork leatherwork and weaving, kingship and mathematics and last but not least weapons and art of warfare.
Inanna took Me's and in a boat of heaven lived for Uruk.
Enki, when sobered up, ordered his chamberlain to pursue Inanna her great chamber and retrieve the Me's
Inanna handed the Me to her pilot while she argued who flew to Uruk.
The people of Uruk forever recall how their city became the seat of Kingship.
