In Sumerian mythology, the god An, also known as Anu, was one of the most important gods in the pantheon. He was considered the patron saint of the sky, the ruler of the gods, and the lord of all living things.
An was often depicted as an old, wise man with a long beard, symbolizing his age and wisdom. He often personified power over the cosmos and nature. His origin is linked to the ancient Sumerian tradition, where he was interpreted as the sun or sky.
The god An played a key role in Sumerian mythology, acting as an intermediary between heaven and earth, and also gave legitimacy to the rule of the Sumerian kings. His authority was exercised both in the celestial realm and in the underworld.
An was also known as a judge in the world of the dead, considering their fates after death. His cult was widespread in all the cities of ancient Mesopotamia, and he was the object of great veneration and devotion by the faithful.
In mythology, the god An was considered one of the highest deities, symbolizing power, wisdom and authority. He became a symbol of stability and order in the Sumerian world, and his image still remains an important symbol in the study of ancient Mesopotamian culture.
