Mesopotamians Worshipped An Unusual And Peculiar-Looking Creature – Archaeology And Sacred Texts Reveal – But What Was It?

Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – While we might believe we have a comprehensive understanding of ancient religious beliefs in Mesopotamia, certain sacred texts suggest the presence of a mysterious being that held significant importance in this region.
We are well-acquainted with prominent deities such as Enlil, Enki, Marduk, Nanna, Shamash, Ereshkigal, and Inanna. Yet there exists an enigmatic ancient god largely forgotten by history. Sacred texts and archaeological findings indicate that this being played a crucial role in Sumerian, Babylonian, and Assyrian cultures.
Its appearance is peculiar and seems somewhat out of place among the people of ancient Mesopotamia.
However, its documented existence is undeniable – a reality we must acknowledge. Recent archaeological discoveries alongside ancient texts offer insights into this intriguing creature revered by the Mesopotamians.
We will begin by delving into archaeological evidence supporting the existence of this being. Subsequently, we’ll explore sacred texts that further clarify this age-old enigma. Ultimately, our aim is to piece together the narrative and uncover who or what was venerated by the people of Mesopotamia.
