Anu
Anu (also An; from Sumerian 𒀭 ''An'', "sky, heaven") is the earliest attested Sky Father deity. In Sumerian religion, he was also "King of the Gods", "Lord of the Constellations, Spirits and Demons", and "Supreme Ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven", where Anu himself wandered the highest Heavenly Regions. He was believed to have the power to judge those who had committed crimes, and to have created the stars as soldiers to destroy the wicked. His attribute was the Royal Tiara. His attendant and Overseer was the God Ilabrat.
==Sumerian religion==
Anu existed in Sumerian cosmogony as a dome that covered the flat earth; Outside of this dome was the primordial body of water known as Nammu (not to be confused with the subterranean Abzu).〔Kramer, Samuel N. ''Sumerian Mythology: a Study of Spiritual and Literary Achievement in the Third Millennium B.C.'' Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1998.〕
In Sumerian, the designation "''An''" was used interchangeably with "the heavens" so that in some cases it is doubtful whether, under the term, the god An or the heavens is being denoted. The Akkadians inherited An as the god of heavens from the Sumerian as ''Anu-'', and in Akkadian cuneiform, the DINGIR character may refer either to Anum or to the Akkadian word for god, ''ilu-'', and consequently had two phonetic values ''an'' and ''il''. Hittite cuneiform as adapted from the Old Assyrian kept the ''an'' value but abandoned ''il''.
