Anu, the Mesopotamian sky god, originated from the Sumerians, who lived in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq): Origin The Sumerians originally called him An, which means "sky". The Akkadians adopted him around 2375 BCE and renamed him Anu, which means "heaven". Family Anu was the son of Anshar and Kishar, who represented heaven and earth, respectively. He was also the second-born child of Apsu and Tiamat. Role Anu was the supreme deity of the Babylonian pantheon, and was considered the father of the gods and ruler of the heavens. He was an authority figure who made decisions, allotted functions to other gods, and conferred kingship on earth. Symbolism Anu was often depicted with a crown or crown on a throne, or as a bull.
