The gods of Mesopotamia

This is the prequel to a book I am writing titled Elemental Nexus. It should come out this year. This book is a book on the mesopotamian mythology. It will have some other non mesopotamians like Musashi miyamoto, Sekhmet, Zeus, Odin etc. It might be confusing at first but when Elemental Nexus comes out you will understand it. I put the genre as history because that's the closest thing to mythology. So ya sit back and enjoy.

Other pantheons

In the vast cosmic expanse, where the boundaries between mythological realms dissolved like mist in the morning sun, the first generation of Mesopotamian gods embarked on a journey beyond the confines of their familiar celestial abode. Lahmu, Lahamu, Anshar, and Kishar, the primordial siblings whose essence was intertwined with the creation of the cosmos, felt the cosmic currents pulling them into uncharted territories.

As they ventured into the celestial unknown, the divine siblings found themselves surrounded by a kaleidoscope of energies, each resonating with the unique signature of a different pantheon. The very fabric of the cosmos seemed to shimmer with the echoes of countless narratives, and the air was charged with the anticipation of celestial convergence.

Amidst the celestial gathering, Lahmu and Lahamu, the god and goddess of silt and clay, beheld the radiant presence of Brahma, the Hindu god of creation. Brahma, with his four faces symbolizing the four Vedas, emanated a divine aura that spoke of the profound act of bringing forth the cosmos. Anshar and Kishar exchanged respectful nods with Brahma, recognizing the shared responsibility they held in shaping the cosmic order. The cosmic dance of creation, it seemed, was a narrative woven with threads that transcended cultural boundaries.

Ymir, the primordial giant of Norse mythology, stood tall, embodying the chaos from which the world was formed. Ymir's presence echoed the primal forces of creation, resonating with the foundational essence of Enlil, the Mesopotamian god of wind and storms. The resonance between the deities vibrated through the celestial realms, a testament to the universal forces that bound gods across cultures. Anshar, with his dominion over the whole sky, found common ground with Ymir as they exchanged tales of cosmic tempests and the turbulent origins of their realms.

In the celestial congress, the Mesopotamian gods engaged in dialogue with Ra, the sun god of ancient Egypt. Ra's golden radiance intertwined with the celestial energies of Anshar, the god of the whole sky. They spoke of the cycles of day and night, acknowledging the shared dominion over the heavens. Lahmu and Lahamu, associated with the primordial waters, shared tales with Nun, the Egyptian god of chaos, finding echoes of their own chaotic origins in the cosmic narrative.

As the divine siblings interacted with founding gods from various pantheons, they found themselves in the company of Izanagi and Izanami from Japanese mythology. The Japanese deities, creators of the islands and gods of the land, shared stories of their cosmic endeavors, drawing parallels with the shaping of the earthly realm by Lahmu and Lahamu. The Japanese cherry blossoms seemed to dance in harmony with the cosmic energies, creating a celestial landscape where myths intertwined like vines.

Meanwhile, Nüwa and Fuxi, revered in Chinese mythology for creating humanity and establishing societal order, exchanged insights with Kishar, the goddess of the whole earth. The cosmic dialogue touched upon the common threads of creation and the intricate dance between gods and mortals. The divine siblings marveled at the delicate balance between order and chaos, mirrored in the cosmic dance of yin and yang.

The cosmic gathering became a symphony of shared wisdom, where gods from diverse mythologies found common ground in the act of creation. Anshar, Kishar, Lahmu, and Lahamu shared tales of the primordial waters, the emergence of land, and the birth of gods. Their narratives resonated with those of other founding deities, creating a celestial harmony that echoed through the cosmic expanse. The celestial tapestry seemed to expand with each shared story, weaving together the rich tapestries of countless pantheons into a cosmic masterpiece.

As the cosmic convergence unfolded, the first generation of Mesopotamian gods felt a profound sense of interconnectedness with their counterparts from distant pantheons. The celestial dialogue transcended cultural boundaries, revealing the universal themes that wove through the narratives of creation and divine order. The gods exchanged cosmic insights, shared laughter, and celebrated the diversity of their mythological kinship.

In the closing moments of the cosmic rendezvous, the Mesopotamian siblings returned to their mythological abode, carrying with them the echoes of shared experiences with the founding gods of diverse pantheons. The celestial convergence became a celestial tapestry, enriched by the diverse hues of cultural narratives and the harmonious symphony of gods united in the eternal dance of creation. The celestial realms, forever changed by this cosmic dialogue, continued to echo with the resonance of shared wisdom, transcending the boundaries of mythological confines and forging a cosmic unity that stretched across the boundless expanse of the divine cosmos.

As more and more gods and goddesses began to form they all agreed that they should make a council for the betterment of the world. Their leader was the Norse God Odin, second in command was Zeus. The aim was to bring prosperity throughout the newly born world and reduce conflict like the Titan God war for the Greek.
