Nabu of Nimrud: God of Wisdom & Writing – Poster, Wrapped Canvas, Framed Print. Nabu was the ancient Mesopotamian Anunnaki deity of scribes, writing & wisdom, worshipped by the Assyrians and Babylonians as late as 200 AD when the ancient style of cuneiform writing began to become extinct. Nabu was the son of Marduk, who was the son of Enki, the Anunnaki god of creation who produced earths first humans (known as Adamu). Nabu was the patron deity of Borsippa, the sister city of Babylon which was located just under 18km away and is the home of one of the most identifiable surviving ziggurats found in Iraq, which some have suggested could be the infamous Tower of Babel. The statue featured dates to around 810-800 BC and was excavated from the Temple of Nabu in Nimrud, 30 km south of the modern day city of Mosul, Iraq. It features Nabu wearing a horned cap (the symbol of a supreme being) and although not shown in the image, he is stood with his hands clasped in the ancient gesture of priesthood. Nabu’s cult worshipping spread to ancient Egypt where he was known as Thoth, ancient Greece where he is linked to Hermes and he was known as the god, Mercury, by the Romans.
