Marduk (Sumerian spelling in Akkadian: AMAR.UTU 𒀫𒌓 "solar calf"; Biblical: Merodach) was the Babylonian name of a late generation god from ancient Mesopotamia and patron deity of the city of Babylon, who, when Babylon permanently became the political center of the Euphrates valley in the time of Hammurabi (18th century BC), started to slowly rise to the position of the head of the Babylonian pantheon, a position he fully acquired by the second half of the second millennium BC.
Enlil (𒀭𒂗𒆤 DEN.LÍL "lord of the open field") was the name of a chief deity in Sumerian religion, perhaps pronounced and sometimes rendered in translations as Ellil in later Akkadian. The name is of Sumerian origin and has been believed to mean 'Lord Wind' (though this interpretation is now disputed); a more literal interpretation is 'Lord of the Command'.
The Anunnaki (also transcribed as: Anunnaku, Ananaki is an ancient Sumerian word for ‘those who came from Heaven to Earth’) are a group of Sumerian and Akkadian deities related to, and in some cases overlapping with, the Annuna (the 'Fifty Great Gods') and the Igigi (minor gods). The name is variously written "da-nuna", "da-nuna-ke4-ne", or "da-nun-na", meaning something to the effect of 'those of royal blood'

So everyone who is saying you could make a photo like that in five minutes I would like to see an example. If you can take five minutes out of your time and read this forum, then you can take five minutes to make a picture that rivals that one. I tried it, I'm fairly proficient at Photoshop. My end result was interesting, but did not compete with this one. I'm sure someone could make that photo, but I don't think five minutes time would even come close to enough time to make a picture that good. He changed the man's hairline, his skin tone and texture without losing skin detail. It's a pretty decent job, I'd say.

What is with the partially transparent S that gets cut off, on Lord Enlil's clothes, between shirt and suit?

Okay, so I took a little longer than 5...I'm not overly experienced, so it would take more than 5 minutes, but I did this to show it is possible.
