One of the most important aspects of ancient Near Eastern religion is Demons. They resembled both the Greek Daemons as well as the Christian idea of Evil Demons. Exorcisms, medicines were part of the Demon worship system. Particularly important was the role of Demons in childbirth. Lamashtu, a Demoness of hermaphrodites, was the one who caused childbirth complications and infant death.
Enlil
Mesopotamian mythology is centred around the goddess Enlil. She is often depicted in Mesopotamian mythology as a powerful goddess. Her cult was active in the 24th-century BC but fell when Nippur, conquered by Elamites, took over. Marduk succeeded her as the supreme Mesopotamian God.
Ea
Ea is an ancient religion from the Near East that was founded in Mesopotamia. The Akkadian-Sumerian Enki word, which translates to "water", is the source of the name. It was often associated with fresh water beneath the earth, national borders, amniotic fluid, fertility, and other matters.
Anu
Anu was an ancient Near Eastern god. Anu was the god and representative of the gods. Anu was often called the father of all gods and a variety of deities were named in his honor. Third-millennium Lagas Inscriptions identify him as the fathers of Gatumdug, Baba and Ningirsu. Later literary texts also refer to him as the father of Enki/Ea, the god of the Annunaki. He created the gods and gave birth to them. Erra, his god, was also born. Erra would later be used to murder human beings.
Ugarit
Ugarit was an old city that was located along the Euphrates river in northern Syria. The name Ugarit was a combination Ugaritic/Arabic. In 1928, its ruins were discovered by accident. The city's prehistory goes back to 6000 B.C.E. The Ugarit religion developed and flourished during this time. Today, Ras Shamra can be found in the ruins at Ugarit.
Bedouin tribes
Since biblical times, Bedouin tribes have been primary residents of the Holy Land. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and many other aspects of Bedouin life are the same as they were in biblical times. The Bedouins were called Qedarites in the Old Testament and Arabaa by the Assyrians, names that still remain common today. Bedouins also provided a large source of trade. Their caravans transported manufactured goods and other raw materials from place to place. Their relations with sedentary societies were based on reciprocity.
Canaanite temples
Canaanite religion was an ancient Near Eastern religion that featured a number of cultic practices. While the Bible clearly distinguishes Canaanite from Israelite religious beliefs, most religious scholars claim that the Israelite religion was an extension of the Canaanite religion. The Canaanite religion spread along the eastern Mediterranean shoreline and evolved over time to include new details. The Canaanite religion was particularly focused on royal legitimacy, fertility of crops and flocks.
Mesopotamian temples
In ancient Near Eastern cultures, gods were a source of protection, wealth, and health. King would pray to the gods of war for victory. Farmers would invoke the gods of fertility to ensure a good harvest. For those suffering from illness, they prayed to God of Healing to get rid of their demons and get back to health. The faithful Israelites, too, prayed to Yahweh in the same way.
Israelite temples
Baal, the storm god, was worshipped in temples built by Israelites in the ancient Near East. Baal, the god of storms and kings, is mentioned in the Bible. He is often shown striking a sea monster to make the world and establish the boundaries.
Hittite temples
Hittite culture are known for their massive carvings, rock-reliefs, and carved Ivory vases. They also used metal and wood for many types of objects. The Sphinx Gates of Alaca Hoyuk & Hattusa, as well as the Lion of Babylon statue are some of the largest. Many of these sculptures can be seen worn. Many Hanyeri and Hemite rock reliefs are also available.
