The oldest written gods in the world, from Uruk, Ur, Nippur and Lagash, before Babylon renamed them. This table follows the numbers' characters: Utu for the sun, Nanna for the moon, Enlil for kingship, Ninhursag for the earth, down to Ninurta for war. The Babylonian table holds their later planetary names.

Frequently Asked Questions About Numerology
- How is Ereshkigal linked to the number 8?
- Through the psychic number of Vedic numerology: the day of the month you were born, reduced to one digit. Each pantheon on this site assigns one god to each number from 1 to 9, and Ereshkigal holds 8 in the Sumerian Gods table.
- Is this a traditional Sumerian Gods belief?
- No. The gods and their domains are traditional; pairing them with birth numbers is a modern numerological reading, and it is presented here as reflection rather than doctrine.
- What if my life path is different from my birth day number?
- They are two different numbers. This page follows the day of the month; the life path uses your whole date of birth and has its own pages under Numbers.
