Ancient Sumerian Religion and Mythology
đď¸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.
đSumerian 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
đźSumerian 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".
đď¸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.
