The Sumero-Akkadian Pantheon's mos Important Gods

Sumero-Akkadian Pantheon consists of about 2,000 different gods and goddesses, but Mesopotamia has 6 major gods. These gods are the major gods of major cities. But over time, the impact on other cities as a whole, most of these gods represent the main elements of nature. Here are some examples: God of Uruk, God of the sky, God of Nana, Ur, God of the Moon, Ea, Eridu, God of water and wisdom.

God Ea (equivalent to Sumerians is Enki) is one of the three most powerful gods in Mesopotamia 's Pantheon, Anu and Enlil. He lives in an underground sea called abzu (Akkadianapû) which is an important place in Mesopotamia's space geography. For example, it is said that Babylon City was built in Abuzu. Enki's Sumerian text often contains an open explanation of his masculinity. In particular, there is a figurative connection between the life giving character of God's semen and the vibrant nature of freshwater from abzu. However, until recently more modern translations have suppressed more specific details (see Cooper 1989; Dickson 2007).

In general, Akkadians incorporates elements of Sumerian religion. The original Sumerian Pantheon is never destroyed, but it is added and refined further. Through consecutive rulers including Hammurabi (1792-1769 bce) and many others, the religious system continues to exist. There may be new rulers, but God is eternal. But the name of God has changed and the focus of religion has changed. For example, Nana is Sumerian Luna. In Acadian language, which is the language of Sargon and its ethnic group, Nana is called sin or grandchild. Heaven 's mistress Inanna became Ishtar in Akkad. The direction of religion also changes with time. The early Sumerian believed that human beings were given a sacred spark by Enrique God after human creation. This is not just to make people into God's servitude in their lives but to guarantee them the world after their deaths. For the 2 nd century Babylonian power changed the focus of religion.

Through prehistoric times Elam was culturally connected with Mesopotamia. Later on, Elamites adopted the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform, perhaps due to the reign of the Acadian dynasty (2334-2154 bce). Finally, Elam was Guti, the mountain man in that area, and then under the control of Ur of the Third Dynasty. As Ur's power declined, Elamitus reaffirmed their independence. About $ 160 billion of the new invader Kassites of Mesopotamia may lead to the collapse of Babylon and Elan. Since then, almost none of Elam knew Elam until the late 13th century when it began to reappear as an important international power. King Elamite Shutruk-Nahhunte and Kutir-Nahhunte invaded Mesopotamia and acquired numerous ancient sites (stone monument with victory of Naramcins and Hammurabi Code).
