Segons els asteques (cronista Alfonso Cano) Alfonso Cano va identificar la Verge de Guadalupe amb Chalchiuhtlicué (Isis) o amb Tonantzin (Rea), ja que aquestes dues deesses estan gravades en una roca i allí van instal.lar la Verge de Guadaliupe. Segons els asteques (mexiques i totonaques) Chalchiu-Tlicué equival a Isis En el seu nom es celebrava una cerimonia de baptisme on el nen era purificat per les aigües de la deessa. Segons els celtes (irlandesos) Graine (Isis) va ser trobada en el forat d'un salze Nota: Similar a les verges cristianes anomenades "trobades" Segons els cristians La religió cristiana va retre culte a Isis fins que l'emperador Justiniá va tancar les portes del seu santuari i el va convertir en esglesia cristiana. Segons els cristians 1) Alguns dels papes Borgia, disposaven de habitacions privades on en les seves parets hi havia representacions, entre d'altres, de la deessa egipcia Isis Nota: Encara visibles avui pels turistes que visiten el Vaticá. 2) El jesuita i erudit alemany Athanasius Kircher (segle XVIII) va proposar que Isis era una emanacióde la reina del cel del catolicisme. 3) A la catedral de Metz on era coronada la dinastia de Lorena, es va venerar fins el segle XVI, unaestatueta d'Isis com si fos la verge, 4) Les monjes católiques amb el vot de castedat tenien el seu precedent a les consagrades a Isis (Egipte) o a Vesta/ Cora (Roma) o a Nari-Maria-Ma (l'Isis de l'India, on encara hi son). Segons els egipcis Isis, el seu fill adoptiu Horus (Apol.lo), i els seus seguidors, van iniciar una llarga i fatigosa marxa cap Egipte per evitar la persecució de Seth (Tifó) Nota: Similar a la fugida d'Egipte de la familia de Jesus, per culpa d'Herodes. Segons els egipcis Isis diu: Veniu a mi tots els que patiu i esteu afligits, jo us donaré repós. Segons els egipcis El recorregut cristiá de la Verge Maria a traves del calendari és: 8 Septembre Nativitat (Evangeli Apócrif de Santiago) 2 Febrer Purificació 25 Març Anunciació per Arcangel Gabriel 15 Agost Mort i Asunció als Cels Aquest recorregut era idéntic a Egipte amb la de la Verge Isis Nota: Albert Magne, astroleg, ocultista i alquimista católic, va assenyalar l'aparició del signe zodiacal Virgo a l'horitzo, el dia 25 de desembre Segons els grecs Els seguidors de Diana (Isis) pels grecs eren anomenats Esenis (de Asa, el que sana). Nota: Els esenis eren una secta jueva anterior, contemporania i posterior a Jesus Segons els grecs Isis va "morir" el 14 d'Agost (el 15 d'agost els cristians celebren la Mort de Nostra Senyora i la seva ascensió als cels) Nota: Segons la mitologia Isis no va morir, sinó que va resssucitar i encara és viva Pels grecs, les imatges d'Isis són sovint trobades en coves o forats dels arbres i es "neguen" a ser mogudes quan se les intenta traslladar. Isis va ser l'origen de les verges negres de les posteriors verges cristianes.. Segons els nórdics Freija (Isis) va anar a buscar Frey (Heli) a l'inframón Després de tres dies Frey va ressuscitar. Nota: La Magdalena, com Isis, que va a buscar Jesús a la tomba) Nombrosos deus, una vegada morts, eren baixats al mon inferior durant tres dies i tres nits per procedir a la seva ressurrecció. Aquesta tradició va ser seguida en els Evangelics. Segons els romans La religió cristiana va retre culte a Isis fins que l'emperador Justiniá va tancar les portes del seu santuari i el va convertir en esglesia cristiana. NAIXEMENT D'ISIS Segons els grecs Va neixer després de Cronos, d'Osiris i d'Heli i abans de Tifó, Enós, Zeus i Hera La primera deessa que va neixer a la "Terra" (planeta Arc), quasi al final del regnat d'Hiperio. Segons els romans Segons Plutarc Isis va neixer en les regions que estan sempre humides (illa de Ki del planeta Arc) GENERALITATS Segons els asteques (mexiques i totonaques) Chalchiu-Tlicué que equival a Isis, apareix sostenint el cap de Tlazol-Teotl (Rea) entre les mans. Habitava en els nou cels (planeta Arc). Segons els babilonics Innana (Isis) volia matar Marduk (Cronos) Segons els egipcis Va ensenyar agricultura als humans i l'us d'instruments agricoles. Diu també: "Vaig separar la Terra del Cel, vaig mostrar el camí de les estrelles, vaig regular el curs del Sol i de la lluna Isis era veina de Sekhmet (Tia/ Lilith) Segons els grecs Isis era una dona habil en bruixeries que estava cansada de viure per sempre entre els mortals. Ella s'estimava viure eternament entre els déus. Segons els grecs Demeter va instituir als reis guardians de la justicia: Triptolemo (Canas) i Diocles Segons els grecs Va ser la deessa de l'oracul de Delfos abans d'Apol.lo Li va regalar Apol.lo l'oracul de delfos com regal d'aniversari. Les deesses/ Deus de l'oracul de Delfos van ser 1ª Gea 2ª Febe/ Dione 3ª Temis / Cora 4ª Isis 5º Apol.lo El recent nascut Apol.lo va matar Pitó i es va apoderar de l'oracle de Delfos, En el 582 aC, Apol.lo va substituir Pitó a Delfos i el 582 marca el començament de l'apoteosis d'Apol.lo, quan es van instituir els jocs pitics. Segons els grecs Els dominis d'Isis eren la terra, el mar i l'aire Propiciava la prosperitat material Propiciava pesca abundant als pescadors. Segons els grecs (Hesiode) És la triple deessa original (Cel,Terra,Tartar), amb poders més destructius que creatius. Segons els grecs Les seves ninfes es deien Asies i se les exigia una castedat inviolable Destruia els remats amb epidemies Crema sembrats i roba nens a les seves mares Presidia els tribunals i castigava els delictes. Va perdre tots els seus fills S'emborratxava Perseguia a les bruixes amb una vara de cirere d'arboç que també l'utilitzava per curar als infants. Va ser precipitada als inferns per Hera. Segons els nórdics Freya (Isis) es confosa sovint amb Frigg (Rea) Relacionada amb el culte als morts Es transformava en ocell i com ocell pot volar pels 9 móns. Segons els nórdics (llibre Grimmismal) El palau de Freya (Isis) es el Folkvang (el prat dels pobles o les les gents o el prat dels exercits, que era una bella granja amb els seus prats. Allí Freia disposava de seients en la seva sala. A Ashgard (Ciutat de Nippur en el Segon Cel del planeta Arc) el palau de Freya era el Sessrumn-Ir, situat prop del palau d'Odin (Erebo) i era enorme. Segons els nórdics Loki (Prometheo) li va dir: Calla Freya (Isis), et conec perfectament bé, i no estás precisament lliure de pecat Tots els deus ases i els elfs que estan en aquesta habitació, han estat els teus amants. Llavors van ocupar els deus els seus llocs a l'Assemblea, els sants van mantenir Consell per trobar al que amb verí havia omplert l'aire o havia donat Freija, la promesa d'Od (Hades) a la raça dels gegants".

    Burn your way to success Studies in the Mesopotamian Ritual and Incantation Series Šurpu by Francis James Michael Simons A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The ritual and incantation series Šurpu ‘Burning’ is one of the most important sources for understanding religious and magical practice in the ancient Near East. The purpose of the ritual was to rid a sufferer of a divine curse which had been inflicted due to personal misconduct. The series is composed chiefly of the text of the incantations recited during the ceremony. These are supplemented by brief ritual instructions as well as a ritual tablet which details the ceremony in full. This thesis offers a comprehensive and radical reconstruction of the entire text, demonstrating the existence of a large, and previously unsuspected, lacuna in the published version. In addition, a single tablet, tablet IX, from the ten which comprise the series is fully edited, with partitur transliteration, eclectic and normalised text, translation, and a detailed line by line commentary.

  • ANE Deities Compared Genesis 1-11 the Babylonians and Akkadians Adopted the Sumerian Pantheon with Little Changes
    ANE Deities Compared Genesis 1-11 The Babylonians and Akkadians adopted the Sumerian pantheon with little changes. Gods were often renamed but their role and status in the pantheon generally remained the same. The dominance of Babylon, however, also led to the ascendancy of the god of Babylon: Marduk assumed power over An, Enlil, and Enki. Sumerian Aspect of Deity Babylonian/Akkadian An God of the heavens Anu Enlil God of the earth and air Enlil / Ellil Enki God of water; Ea god of wisdom and magic Ninhursag (Nimmah, Nintu, Ki) Mother-goddess Aruru Nanna-Sin Moon god Sin Utu Sun God; Shamash god of justice Ereshkigal Goddess of the underworld Nergal Ishkur Storm god Marduk (Adad, Ashur, Bel) Abzu Primordial sweet-water ocean Apsu (Enki’s abode) Nanshe The salt-water ocean Tiamat1 Dumuzi God of vegetation; god of the Tammuz underworld; shepherd god Inanna Fertility goddess; Ishtar goddess of love and war Ashnan God of grain Dagan Nidaba, Nisaba God of scribes, literacy, Nabu and wisdom Anunnaki2 Lesser gods, workers Anunnaki, Igigi2 Blue = the supreme gods (highest of the seven primary gods) Red = additional members of the seven primary gods Green = other important gods 1 Enuma Elish tells the story of Marduk’s victory over the sea monster Tiamat. 2 Anunnaki and Igigi are both collective terms for a group of otherwise nameless gods.

[ ] 안에 지역을 집어넣어 구별할 수 있도록 하였습니다. 책이름은 『 』에 넣 고, 잡지나 신문 등 기타는 「 」에 넣었다. (2008.8) 수메르 사람들은 기원전 4천경에 물건을 상징하는 물표를 만들어 그 표면에 물건 의 특색을 그려 넣어서 사용했다. 기원전 3300년경에 상형문자와 숫자를 쓰기 시작 했다. 그들은 중국 사람들처럼 많은 상형문자를 만들지 않았다. 기원전 2600년경에 는 사용하는 문자가 줄어들어 약 700개의 문자만 썼다. 수메르 사람들은 기존의 문 자를 조합해서 새로운 낱말로 만들어 썼다. 중국 사람들도 기존의 글자를 이용해서 새로운 뜻을 표현했지만, 그들은 새로운 글자를 만들어 냄으로써 글자 수가 기하급 수적으로 늘어나게 만들었다. 수메르 사람들은 “루(lu2, 사람)”와 “갈(gal, 큰)”을 합쳐서 갈루(GAL.LU2)로 표기 하고 루갈로 읽었다. 그 뜻은 “왕”이 되었다. 하지만 “큰 사람”을 말하는 경우에는 루-갈(lu2-gal)로 표기했다. 한편 한 문자를 여러 음으로 발음하고 그 뜻도 각기 다 른 경우가 있다. “입”은 카(ka)인데, “말하다”라는 뜻인 “둑(dug4)”으로 읽거나 “말 씀”이라는 뜻인 “이님(inim)”, “이빨”이라는 뜻인 “주(zu)”로 읽기도 했다. 수메르 사람들은 모든 단어를 표의문자로 만들지 않았다. “꿈”이라는 단어는 “마 무드(mamud)”라고 하는데, “꿈”이라는 표의문자를 만들지 않고 2개 음절로 “마-무 드(ma-mud)”로 표기했다.

MELVIN BAYLOR UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION In the study of Genesis 1–11, it is common for scholars to make comparisons between the biblical material and ancient Near East- ern myths. The discovery of large numbers of texts from Mesopo- tamia and Ugarit during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries created a veritable deluge of comparative studies of the primeval history. While the observation of the many continuities between Genesis 1–11 and Mesopotamian myths has contributed greatly to our understanding of this portion of the biblical text, it is also im- portant to note the discontinuities between the biblical and extra- biblical material. One such discontinuity relates to the origin of human civilization. In Mesopotamian myths, civilization arises via the intervention of gods or other divine beings. It is portrayed variously as a gift bestowed directly upon humanity, an institution preceding the creation of humanity (via the creation of patron dei- ties of various technologies), or the bestowal of knowledge upon humans by gods, sometimes through intermediary beings.

  • The Animated Temple and Its Agency in the Urban Life of the City in Ancient Mesopotamia Beate Pongratz-Leisten, NYU, ISAW
    religions Article The Animated Temple and Its Agency in the Urban Life of the City in Ancient Mesopotamia Beate Pongratz-Leisten, NYU, ISAW Beate Pongratz-Leisten Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW), New York University, New York, NY 10028, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In ancient Mesopotamia, the functions of the temple were manifold. It could operate as an administrative center, as a center of learning, as a place of jurisdiction, as a center for healing, and as an economic institution, as indicated in both textual and archaeological sources. All these functions involved numerous and diverse personnel and generated interaction with the surrounding world, thereby turning the temple into the center of urban life. Because the temple fulfilled all these functions in addition to housing the divinity, it acquired agency in its own right. Thus, temple, city, and divinity could merge into concerted action. It is this aspect of the temple that lies at the center of the following considerations. Keywords: temple; divinity; community; agency “Arbela, O Arbela, heaven without equal, Arbela! ...

When he came to Chicago in the summer of 1927 at my invitation to discuss the possibility of his accepting a call to the University of Chicago as the successor of our lamented colleague, D. D. Luckenbill, it was quite clear that in undertaking the new post the only conditions to which he could possibly consent would be such as might enable him, besides his teaching duties, to continue his untiring application to produc- tive original work both at home and in the field. He was already under a definite contract to spend the next year in field work in ancient Assyria, and his appointment to the University of Chicago was accordingly made subject to this contract.

While the ice was melting and the climate was warming up, the reindeer and horses retreated to the north, and the mammoths disappeared. Forests spread, and those animals were replaced by red deer, wild pigs, and cattle. Dogs had already been domesticated for a few thousand years. Sedentary communities settled down in southwest Asia about a thousand years before wheat and barley were domesticated, supported by herds of wild sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs, which were all domesticated by 6000 BC. Women were probably responsible for learning how to cultivate plants, as they seemed to have done most of the plant gathering. Women also probably invented potting, spinning, and weaving. Men used to hunting probably took care of the herds and, after the plow was invented, castrated bulls to use oxen to pull plows and carts, though a Sumerian poem refers to a woman in the fields with the plow.
