Post 291 A: The Great Serpent, continued from 290 A:
TIAMAT (The Dragon Queen) also Ti'amtum (Sumerian 'ti' life, and 'ama' mother) also known as Mother Hubbur:
She is the primordial goddess of salt water oceans in Babylonian mythology. She mated with the spouse the god Abzu/Apsu/Engur/Engurru, god of fresh water and underground aquifers, to produce the younger gods Mummu, Lahum, Lahamu, Anshar, and Kishar.
Tiamat appears at times as a great serpent or dragon. She is believed in ancient times to have produced all the cosmos. It is indeed Tiamat who is demonized in the Hebrew Old Testament, and not the devil. It is a common occurrence that a new religion will turn the gods of the old religion into demons in the new.
The union of Anshar (male) and Kishar (female) would produce the great Anu/An/Annu the father of the Anunnaki gods, with his wives Antu/Nammu (Lady of the Sky) and Ki/Urash (Earth Mother).
Annu is also known to the Egyptians as Atum, father of the god Shu (the god of Air) and goddess Tefnut (goddess of Water).
In Akkad and Babylonian mythology Anu was the father 'the fiery sons of heaven' or the 'Shining Ones'. Enki/Ea/Lahar, Enlil/Ilu/El Elyon/later Jehovah, and a daughter Nin-khursag/Nin-mah/Ashana.
There were said to be 600 Anunnaki in the Netherworld or Otherworld and 300 in the Heavens. One wonders if this means in outer space or in the air? Could this be the same number of so-called 'Fallen Angels'?
There was a Court of the Most High attended by Jehovah in Psalm 82. "God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the needy. Deliver the poor and the needy: rid them out of the hands of the wicked. They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations."
In the Babylonian Creation Epic the Enuma Elish Tiamat directs the the creation of Lu Gal or Lullu, Mankind. Ashnan/Nin-khursag and Lahar/Enki are directed to tend the earth. They find the task of tending the earth too great for the Anunnaki alone. From the DNA of Enki/Ea Nin-khursag/Ashana, apparently a genetic engineer, combines it with the ova of females of the "black haired people", that had been created to till the soil, to produce Adama. Adama would have been the first homo sapien sapien.
Tiamat to Enki, "O my son, raise from your bed... Work what is wise. Fashion servants of the gods, ( ) may they produce their doubles."
Enki to Tiamat, "O my mother, the creature whose name you uttered, it exists. Bind upon it the image of the gods...Nin-mah/Nin-khursag will work above you... she will stand by you at your fashioning. O my mother, decree upon its fate; Nin-mah/Nin-khursag will bind upon it in the mould of the gods. It is Man."
