Sumerian Religion and Mythology

Ancient Sumerian Religion and Mythology

🏙️Sexual rituals called "hieros gamos" were performed atop ziggurats in ancient Sumeria, believed to result in the birth of new gods, while some generations rejected the "God most high" in favor of these lesser deities.

🐉Sumerian god Anu (the "god most high") was symbolized by a horned crown, serpent/dragon, and eagle, while his son Enlil was represented by the eagle, and Enki often depicted with the horned crown and serpent/dragon symbols.

Fallen Angels and Pantheistic Religion

👼Sumerian gods Enlil and Enki are believed to have been fallen angels who became deities, establishing the first pantheistic religion in opposition to the monotheistic "God most high".

🏛️Nimrod, a powerful tyrant, ruled a vast empire with brutality and initiated a new pantheistic religion using secret arts, despite God's promise not to send another flood.
