Hindu Gods Compared To Sumer, Same Gods different faces? Options

Hindu Gods VS Gods of Sumer.

This thread has been begging ro get brought into existence for some time.

We have already discussed this in many other threads. Which proves it is deserving of a thread of its own.


Lets start with Marduk = Shiva.

When I think of ultimate authority these two names pop up on my mind.

Marduk slayer of the serpent and Shiva lord of serpents.

Bel (Marduk) was the bull of Heaven. Nandi the Bull is Shiva servant.


Vishnu = Enki.

Brahma = Anu

Ganesh = Ziku

Lilith = Ganesh


My Hindu friends please jump in and connect the dots as I am sure you will do a better job than me.

Peace

Argh..i typed out a long informative post that my Dad accidentaly deleted..lol..

The trident as its commonly known by hindus is a very popular weapon used by many divinities but more often used by Lord Shiva and Shakti.Shivas trident is supposed to have immense power,the power to destroy the known world.He lent it to Arjuna during the Mahabharata i believe.Heres an informative picture on Lord Shiva.Very beautiful.

heres another one where he really looks like marduk to me at least-Shiva

Vishnu in every one of his painting always has ocean blue skin,he has a conchshell in one hand and has a ever revolving disc revolving around his index finger on the other hand.This revolving disc is said to be able to go pass any known material in the world and will seek out the enemy of vishnu and behead him(kinda like a heat seeking missile)

Kali and many guardian dieties use the sickle and or scmitzar and also a kind of bullwhip to drive away demons.Sangali karupar(Balck warrior of chains) actually uses a thick long and heavy chains as his choice of weapons.

Indra the King of the Devas uses the Vajra/or thuderbolt as its more commonly known as his choice of weapon though he also uses the bow and arrow and a type of hammer on occasions.
