Nesku or Nusku (Chald.). Is described in the Assyrian tablets as the "holder of the golden sceptre, the lofty god".

(See also: Nesku, Nusku, Theosophy, Spirituality, Body mind and Soul, Spiritual Dictionary, )

Nusku (Babylonian) Prominent Babylonian and Assyrian deity of light and fire, very closely associated with the god Girru or Gibil. As in other countries, fire was regarded as the great purifier, along with Ea, the god of water; hymns were addressed to him as the great cleanser from diseases and illness. Nusku-Girru represented both heavenly and terrestrial fire. He was regarded as the son of Anu, the deity of the heavenly spaces; but at Harran, in Assyria, he was regarded as the son of the moon deity Sin. Because of the connection of fire with productivity and birth, he held a position of the family god somewhat parallel to that of the Lares and Penates in ancient Rome.

While the political movement represented by Hammurabi may have been proceeding for some time prior to the appearance of the great conqueror; the period of c. 1700 BCE, when the union of the Euphratean states was effected by Hammurabi, marks the beginning of a new epoch in the reli ...
