Also known as An, Anum
antigo deus mesopotâmico do céu, deus de todos os deuses
Anu was the sky god and king of the gods in ancient Mesopotamian religion, serving as the ancestor of many deities and a source of divine authority for human rulers. Though he held an important position in Mesopotamian texts and theology, his actual role was relatively passive and he was not widely worshipped in practice.
