کینگو (خدا)
Sign in to saveQingu (, dqin-gu; less commonly romanized as Kingu) was a Mesopotamian god. He is best known from the Enūma Eliš, where he acts as a subordinate and spouse of Tiamat, and an adversary of Marduk. After his defeat he is killed and his blood is used in the creation of mankind. It is presumed that he might have originally been the antagonist of a separate myth unrelated to Tiamat, though this composition does not survive, and the majority of references to him are allusions to his defeat at the hands of Marduk in Enūma Eliš. He is also mentioned in the myth The Defeat of Enutila, Enmešarra, and Qin
