Marduk Sumerian Symbols Necklace

Marduk, the god of thunderstorms, was the patron or principal deity of the city of Babylon. He was the husband of the fertility goddess Sarpanitu and the son of the deity Enki and the goddess Damgalnuna. As the Babylonians revered him as their patron deity, his influence and importance grew. Marduk was regarded as the creator of the land and heaven after receiving an upgrade in authority and responsibility from a nearby agricultural god. Besides being the god of thunderstorms, Marduk was also linked to Jupiter, one of the seven constellations, as well as to kindness, magic, fairness, and regeneration.
