Question about the Anunnaki

a reply to: Harte

In the end...how many ways can one try to sculpt so many different objection onto a stone 2d surface. I myself do tend to believe there is something more to it because when it comes to ancient cultures I am a romantic at heart lol. BUT yes....they could just be satchels holding herbs and foodstuffs and tools. Artists probably weren't as interested in the detail of ancients handbags when they were giving them animal heads lol

a reply to: Harte

Being that the myth states that these were incarnate descendants of An, could their names really be just titles used?

Like if the "POPE" was seen as a single person over many years.

I think so. Am I right that you know of?

Enki, Enlil, and co are more of a group of rulers /spiritual leaders belonging to clan or family. One that set up kings and priests to rule under their system. ?

EDIT TO ADD:
The "7 that judge" seems to have been a committee that oversaw many regions and kept consensus between the regional kings under their influence.

Like an ancient Bilderberg meeting with delegates being spiritual leaders as well as kingmakers.

So they use the formal names of the office: Enki, or whatever the "pope" from that region was called.

and so on.

Bed Sheets

Egyptian Cotton

Pretty sure they were Aluminum alloy Billits
Probably made at the base of the pyramids in Giza utilizing a natural gas source,

Notice the half melted hole through in the center, looks like they had about a 1 inch gas source, probably got it real hot with charcoal and belows.

Greek and Roman Rule. The Late Period of Ancient Egyptian history came to an end in 332 BC when Egypt was conquered by the Greeks. The Greeks formed their own dynasty called the Ptolemaic Dynasty that ruled for nearly 300 years until 30 BC. In 30 BC the Romans took control of Egypt.

What's a good method for distinguishing between Akkadian, Sumerian and Babylonian art?

Thanks much appreciated.

Sumerian looks a little more primitive.
By Akkadian I assume you mean Assyrian (since that was the pic I was talking about) - check the calves. I know it sounds dumb, but they always showed these over-muscled calves. Check and you'll see what I mean.

Akkadian blends with the Old Babylonian Period, so that's the early Babylonian culture.

a reply to: Harte

Thanks again. Yes, I meant Assyrian. My apologies. I'm always trying to sort them out. I will look more at the details as you recommended. Much appreciated.



One last question. If you can spare the trouble. I know there is not a complete list of names and history for every god in the areas in question but is there a mention anywhere of an approximation as to how many gods there were in total at their zenith, as believed by the respective cultures?

Hundreds, thousands, HT,?

Not as judges, arbiters, or other such specific roles. I mean in total in terms of their supposed population size.

Have a good one.

Just sharing this.

This is a close-up image of a hand carrying an Assyrian mullilu; mullilu is an Akkadian word which means a purifier. This object, most likely a pine cone, was dipped into a certain liquid and then sprinkled on the Assyrian king and his courtiers in order to purify them during ceremonies. The image here is part of a large alabaster bas-relief which depicts an eagle-headed and winged protective spirit (Apkallau or Sage). The Apkallu's right hand holds this mullilu. From room G, panel d1, the north-west palace of the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II, Nimrud (ancient Kalhu; Biblical Calah). From Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq. Neo-Assyrian period, 865-860 BCE. The British Museum, London.

Edit to add:
The rosette bracelet is just a symbol. 8 petals. 8 pointed star. 16 petals is a lotus flower.

Royalty, immortaliy, authority, good luck or protection. It has been used prolifically throughout history and across many cultures.

I don't know if it's understood what it represented for the earliest people to use it.

More:

Chakra One (Root): 4 petals

Chakra Two (Sacral): 6 petals

Chakra Three (Solar Plexus): 10 petals

Chakra Four (Heart): 12 petals

Chakra Five (Throat): 16 petals

Chakra Six (Third Eye): 96 petals

Chakra Seven (Crown): 972 petals (also known as “the thousand-petaled lotus”)

Still say that's a pineapple plucked for transport and weight, The Bracelet might just be a "Generic Royal Seal" to not give away a secret or to offend Royalty,

Hooked to a sling, for style, and protection from loss. I have given them the name Blingadings.

I wouldn't have any idea of the answer to that, but I'm sure you could find an estimate somewhere.
Also, new gods made debuts along the way so they would probably have a different pantheon count in different eras.

The word for your pineapple translates as "purifier," as was attested to in the link I gave two pages back.
Not sure where you get off claiming you know more about this that Jeremy Black and Anthony Green.
