The lost gods

Who was the first one?

Who is the first god…It’s a wonderful question. Yes, we are asking many questions such as who is the first president of India, who is the first UN secretary-general etc. I don’t know how many people ask this question. But asking questions is necessary for the development of human society.

About 5500 years back in Mesopotamia, there was a god named Enlil. He is the superior, powerful and creator of the universe at that time. Historical evidence says he was the first one. Later he also became the chief god of Sumerians and was known as Elil. But we don’t know why the people lost their trust in him and his influence was lost at the end of 1500 BC.

Later, about 3500 years back, Marduk became the most powerful god for nearly 1500 years. He was a Babylonian god. Yes, he was the god of the sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi. However, there are contemporary gods in other regions of the world similar to Enlil and Marduk. Why am I talking about ancient gods? There are many contemporary gods. This is for reminding people that many gods ruled this world. They have lost their power, so the stories will change and new gods may come or even become all extinct. Because changes with space and time apply to gods.
