Anshar = Assur?

[edit]

I read somewhere that Anshar was a distinct deity from Asshur and that the Assyrians syncretized the two to elevate Asshur. Confirmation? --Tydaj 04:38, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You're right on that one, I have corrected it. Djaser 17:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Summerian version?

[edit]

Unlike what the article says I do not believe that Anshar was known in Summerian mythology. He plays a role in the Akkadian Enuma Elish as child of Tiamat and Absu and doesn't have a Summerian name. Djaser 17:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Father of Enki and Ninlil?

[edit]

The previous version of the article says the following:

they are the parents of [[Anu]] and [[Ea]].  (and, in some traditions, [[Enlil]]). 

A source is necessary here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djaser (talkcontribs) 17:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sky axle?

[edit]

If he is the god of the "sky axle", then he is the god of the northern celestial pole, or he is the northern celestial pole. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 09:28, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
