NANNA

Sumerian Moon God 🌝

Also known as Ash-Im-Babbar, Ashimbabbar, Ašimbabbar, Nanna-Suen

Sumerian Moon God

He was born in hell, and then given a girly name. Being born in darkness also left him pale and cold. So he is now prone to fits of waxing and waning. Also known as Sin to the Akkadians which can’t help matters.
