What The Hell!! Part 1 : Irkalla

In Babylonian Mythology, Irkalla is the hell-like underground. Irkalla is ruled by the goddess Ereshkigak and her consort the death god Nergal.


Irkalla was originally another name for Ereshkigal, who ruled the underworld alone until Nergal was sent to the underworld and seduced Ereshkigal (in Babylonian mythology). Both the deity and the location were called Irkalla, much like how Hades in Greek mythology is both the name of the underworld and the god who ruled it.


The Sumerian netherworld was a place for the bodies of the dead to exist after death. One passed through the seven gates on their journey through the portal to the netherworld leaving articles of clothing and adornment at each gate, not necessarily by choice as there was a guardian at each gate to extract a toll for one's passage and to keep one from going the wrong way. The living spirits of the dead are only spoken of in connection with this netherworld when someone has been placed here before they are dead or wrongly killed and can be saved. The bodies of the dead decompose in this afterlife, as they would in the world above.

Creation Story Part 1: Sumerian Religion

The earliest record of the Sumerian creation myth is found on a tablet excavated in Nippur (Iraq) and is datable by it's script to 2150B.C 


The gods An, Enlil, Enki and Ninhursanga create the Black-Headed people and  create comfortable conditions for the animals to live and procreate. Then kingship descends from heaven and the first cities are founded: Eridu, Bad-tibira, Larsa, Sippar and Shuruppak


The gods decide not to save mankind from a impending flood. Zi-ud-syra, the king and gudug prist, learns of this. Enki the god of water, warns the hero and gives him instructions for the ark. A terrible storm rocks the boat for seven days and nights, then Utu, god of the sun appears and Zi-ud-sura creates an opening in the boat, prostrates himself and sacrifices oxen and sheep.

Oh My God!! Part 1 : Sumerian religion

Sumerian religion refers to the mythology, pantheon, rites and cosmology of the Sumerian civilization. The Sumerian religion influenced Mesopotamian mythology as a whole, surviving in the mythologies and religions of the Hurrians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and other culture groups.

The Sumerian Pantheon includes 3600 deities, the main ones are

AN: God Of Heaven

ENLIL: God Of Air, patron deity of Nippur

ENKI: God Of Freshwater, Male Fertility and Knowledge, patron deity of Eridu

INANNA: Goddess Of Sexual Love, Female Fertility and Warfare, matron deity of Uruk

KI: Goddess Of The Earth

NANNA: God Of The Moon, on of the patron deities of Ur

NINGAL: Wife Of Nanna

NIHLIL: An air goddess and wife of Enlil, one of the matron deities of NIPPUR, she was believed to reside in the same temple as Enlil.

NINURTA: God of war, agriculture, one of the Sumerian wind gods, patron deity of Girsu and one of the patron deities of Lagash.

UTU: God of the sun at the E'barbara temple of Sippar

Sounds Familiar

Some stories in Sumerian religion appear similar to stories in other Middle-Eastern religions. For example, the biblical account of the Noah's flood myth resembles some aspects of the Sumerian deluge myth. The Judaic underworld Sheol is very similar in description with the Sumerian and Babylonian Kigal. Sumerian scholar Samuel Noah Kramer noted similarities between many Sumerian and Akkadian "proverbs" and the later Hebrew proverbs, many of which are featured in the Book Of Proverbs.

Misconceptions About Adam And Eve.

Why were Adam and Eve kicked out of The Garden Of Eden ?

Most people would say, they ate the apple from the tree of knowledge. Two things wrong with this answer the first being:

1. Nowhere in The Bible is it mentioned that Adam and Eve eat an apple, in-fact the fruit isn't even named at all. This is how said moment is described in Genesis 3:6

"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

2. This action was not the reason for Adam and Eves expulsion from paradise, there were two forbidden trees which are in Genesis 2:9

"And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."

The reason for kicking them out was so they didn't eat from the tree of life which would of made them eternal.

What Do Angels Look Like ?

The image most people get when they think of an angel is usually the same. They're people with two white wings with white clothes and a halo, some people will say they protect them our watch over then.

There are different kinds of angels in the Bible if you listen to any extreme metal band or watch Horror movies their names mite of popped up. The thing is they all look different and very few actually have wings. Those who do, like the ones called the Seraphim, have six wings to cover their body, cause if mortal eyes lay on them they will blind and incinerate you.  In medieval  Christian theology, the Seraphim belong to the highest choir of the Christian angelic hierarchy. They are the caretakers of God's throne.There was a X-Files episode called All Souls that touches on this a bit.

The Cherub which people would describe as a baby angel, sometimes with a little bow and arrow just like Cupid. Which couldn't be further from the truth as in The Bible Book Ezekiel Chapter 10 Verse 14 describes them:

"And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle"

Definitely a far image of a cute naked chubby kid with wings. But probably the most weird description of all is of the Thrones or Ophanim they are the carriers of the throne of god, hence the name, which comes from the same book Chapter 1 verse 16:

"The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel."

Hang on it gets more fucked up Chapter 1 Verse 18:

"As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four."

Now that is just plain fucking scary.
