I believe it’s Ēostre (Ostara) that is the “easter goddess” with the hares and eggs. She’s germanic and likely originated as a dawn god and thus makes a lot of sense as a spring god. There is not a lot known about her, mainly one account of her celebration during her month (which had become easter by then) and also a wealth of place and people names that share the same etymology. Baby bunnies and (’wild’ bird) eggs are very much symbols of spring time regardless

We have far more info on Ishtar and she was a much bigger deal. ‘Ishtar’ ‘began’ as Inanna, who is very much a Mesopotamian god. She was ‘the’ god in Sumaria. Big deal, many attributes/domains/whatever we call them.

It’s that time of year again. Courtesy of digitalhammurabi.com

Addition about the image, courtesy of Twitter user @lui_log: wrt the background image, which is a stone plaque showing a winged goddess flanked by owls: “Also, we don't know whether this is a depiction of Ishtar, as the piece has been looted, thus has no archaeological context that could point us to whom it shows. Nor does it bear an inscription. The owls could mean that it is Ishtar's sister Ereshkigal, Goddess of the Underworld.”

Os sumérios olharam para os céus enquanto inventavam o sistema do tempo... e ainda o usamos hoje. Pode ser curioso dividirmos as horas em 60 minutos e os dias em 24 horas - por que não um múltiplo de 10 ou 12? Simplificando, a resposta é porque os inventores do tempo não operaram em um sistema decimal (base 10) ou duodecimal (base 12), mas em um sistema sexagesimal (base 60). Para os antigos inovadores sumérios que primeiro dividiram os movimentos dos céus em intervalos contáveis, 60 era o número perfeito. O número 60 pode ser dividido por 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 e 30 partes iguais. Além disso, os astrônomos antigos acreditavam que havia 360 dias em um ano, um número que 60 se encaixa perfeitamente em seis vezes. O Império Sumério não durou. No entanto, por mais de 5.000 anos, o mundo permaneceu comprometido com a delimitação do tempo. @prof.lucianodornelles #sumerian #gigalmesh #historia (em Uruk) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChacrSDOeAe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m John Cena / Druig

Summary: Using your ability to annoy Druig.

(Reader can turn invisible but not just appearance it’s their entire presence.)

Warnings: grammar, short

Pairing:Druig x GN Reader

————

“What the…” Druig flinches as something hits him in the head. Looking around seeing no one, not feeling any presence.

*bink*

“Raisins?” Nothing happens for a moment, he turns back to the book he was reading. Until a few minutes later he gets hit again.

“Oi-”

*bink*bink*bink*

“Alright, that’s enough-” He tries to order only for whatever it was to rapid fire raisins on him.

“Enough!” Angered his eyes flicker as he tries to control whatever is doing this but, it was no use. As a boisterous laughter echos around the room, a shift in the space reveals the person behind it, Y/N.

“Oh my goodness! You should have seen your face!” You say in between laughs, as Druig rolls his eyes.

“I should have known it was you.” He stalks forward slowly as you’re calming down from your giggling fit. You realize he’s getting closer, and sober up, inching away. A smirk grows on his face, you raise your hands in defense.

“Hey, come on now all jokes here right,Haha…right?” Your closer to the exit now and prepare for a break.

“I’ll give you a five second head start 5,4,3-” You almost run over Gigalmesh in the hall as you sprint down it.

“Woah!”

“Makkari, help me!”

“Sorry, no can do” She signs amused.

“Druig and Y/n! what did I say about running in the halls?!” Ajak scolds.

“Sorry!” You turn a sharp left, trying to go invisible.

“Oh no you don’t!”

“Ahhh!!”

¿Por qué babilonia?

En un mundo de reyes absolutos, con poder total sobre los hombres de su reino y sus esclavos. Es un punto en el que los absolutos están mas definidos, un esclavo seá para siempre un esclavo. Los reyes son divinos. La muerte llega todos. Las construcciones son de piedra y arcilla.

Hay realmente una ruptura de la percepción en este momento?

Se puede decir que ya en la edad media hay una fuerte ruptura, entre las creencias religiosas y supersticiosas que divergen del mundo real.

En el mundo babilonio es posible que se infundara los desiertos y los valles, con presencias de otro tipo, como criaturas mitologicas. Y hubiera alguna tradición oral de historais que dieran vida a estas criaturas. En gigalmesh que tenemos?

uno de esos valores de lo humano, la amistad. Pero esos valores en que marco estan enmarcados?

En que progresan el mundo?
