Babylon and Assyria were two places in Mesopotamia. They went to war with each other often. In the daily life of Mesopotamia people did many things, like going to work or attending school-if you were a boy at least. At school you would learn how to write, and you had to do really well. If you failed to get a perfect grade, the very strict teacher would whip you. These schools were attached to temples. The people built temples for all the gods they worshiped. In Mesopotamia they had many gods, like a sky god, a fresh water god, and even a shepherd god. They named all these gods and made statues and amulets for them.

And to top it all off their wasant a cosmic browine under my chair.:(
ReplyDeleteWell first I learned that a Bull Man is a demon. He is a man above the waist and a bull below the waist. He also has the horns and the ears of a bull. The Bull-man helps people fight evil and chaos. He holds the gates of dawn open for the sun god Shamash and supports the sun disc. He is often shown on cylinder seals. I also learned rhat a Dumzi is a Dumuzi is a shepherd god who represents the harvest season but also became a god of the underworld thanks to the goddess Ishtar. Dumuzi was the husband of Ishtar. Anybody who went to the underworld could not leave. Even gods had to stay there. Ishtar went through the seven gates leading to the underworld and found that she couldn't escape. The other gods became worried when Ishtar didn't return. The god of wisdom Ea tricked Ereshkigal into returning Ishtar to life but someone had to take her place in the underworld. Ishtar chose her husband, the shepherd Dumuzi. Demons carried him off to the underworld. However, he was allowed to spend half of the year on earth. That is why he represents the yearly cycle of death and rebirth of the crops on earth. Then I learned that Elil is one of the most important gods of Mesopotamia. Ellil is so powerful that the other gods can't even look at him. He is therefore only shown as a horned cap. Ellil's main city is Nippur. Kings from all over Mesopotamia sent offerings to him there. Ellil is the father of many other important Mesopotamian gods and goddesses. Ellil guards the 'tablets of destiny'. These are cuneiform tablets on which he writes the fate of everything on earth. After that I learned that Anu is the sky god. He is the supreme ruler of all the gods. His symbol is the horned cap.
ReplyDeleteMesopotamian myths tell the story of how the earth was separated from heaven at the beginning of time. In these myths, heaven becomes Anu's home. Anu controls shooting stars, called 'kishru'. Anu is also in charge of the Bull of Heaven who can be sent to earth to avenge the gods. Although Anu is an important Mesopotamian god, there are no known pictures of him. Finally I learned that Ninhusag was the an important Sumerian goddess who is often called 'mother of the gods'.
Ninhursag was important in early Mesopotamian mythology but she does not appear in the mythology of later periods.

ReplyDeleteThe two river are called Tigris and Euphrates.

ReplyDeleteWell first I learned that a Bull Man is a demon. He is a man above the waist and a bull below the waist. He also has the horns and the ears of a bull. The Bull-man helps people fight evil and chaos. He holds the gates of dawn open for the sun god Shamash and supports the sun disc. He is often shown on cylinder seals. I also learned rhat a Dumzi is a Dumuzi is a shepherd god who represents the harvest season but also became a god of the underworld thanks to the goddess Ishtar. Dumuzi was the husband of Ishtar. Anybody who went to the underworld could not leave.
Mesopotamian myths tell the story of how the earth was separated from heaven at the beginning of time. In these myths, heaven becomes Anu's home. Anu controls shooting stars, called 'kishru'. Anu is also in charge of the Bull of Heaven who can be sent to earth to avenge the gods. Although Anu is an important Mesopotamian god, there are no known pictures of him. Finally I learned that Ninhusag was the an important Sumerian goddess who is often called 'mother of the gods'.
