I’ve been diving deep into the Sumerian creation myths lately, specifically focusing on the hierarchy of the Anunnaki. It's incredible how complex these 'gods' and their city-states in Mesopotamia truly were.
The thing that fascinates me the most is the concept of the 'Me', those "divine" relics that supposedly held the blueprints for civilization, from law and kingship to technology and art.
Do you guys think these were purely symbolic metaphors, or are we looking at a misunderstood form of ancient 'knowledge' passed down to humanity? I’m planning to dive deeper into the individual traits of the 12 main gods (Enlil, Enki, Inanna, etc ...) to understand their specific roles better.
Which of the deities do you find most compelling, and is there a specific part of the mythos regarding the 'Me' that you think deserves more attention?
