Anu
The ancient Sumero-Babylonian god of the firmament, the 'great above',
and the son of the first pair of gods, Ansar and Kisar, descendant of
Apsu and
Tiamat. He
is referred to as "the Father" and "King of the Gods", which signifies
his importance in the Mesopotamian pantheon. Not only is he the father
of the gods, but also of a great number of demons, whom he sends to
humans. In the Sumerian cosmology there was, first of all, the primeval
sea, from which was born the cosmic mountain consisting of heaven, 'An',
and earth, 'Ki'.
They were separated by
Enlil, then
Anu carried off the heavens, and Enlil the earth. Anu later retreated
more and more into the background. He retires to the upper heavens and
leaves the affairs of the universe to
Marduk and
a younger generation of gods.
His consort was Antu (Anatum), a goddess of creation, but she was later replaced by Ishtar. Temples dedicated to Anu could be found in Uruk and Assur.

ANU is the Planet UrANUs.
Saturn was considered the "King of the Gods" because it moved slowest across the night sky... except that Anu/Uranus moves slower. |
In each of the above examples, it is my
contention that the "gods" being discussed are actually the planets of the
solar system.
