A. Sutherland – AncientPages.com – <\/strong>Nabu was one of the most esteemed deities in the Babylonian-Assyrian pantheon, gaining significant prominence later in the first millennium BC.<\/p>\n At one time, he was recognized as the son of Marduk, who himself was a descendant of Enki. Nabu also served as the patron god of Babylon.<\/p>\n Much earlier in the Sumerian pantheon, Nabu was known as a female deity, Nisaba, patron of writing, learning, and harvest. Later, as the Mesopotamian god of wisdom, patron god of literacy, scribes, knowledge, and the gods’ messenger, Nabu became widely known, respected, and worshiped.<\/p>\n The myths of Mesopotamia mention that Nabu engraves the fate of people and the world on the ‘Tablet of Destiny’ that was later stolen by the evil bird god Anzu. Ancient sources indicate that before Nabu entered the Assyrian pantheon, he was known as the scribe and vizier of Marduk, who recorded all the decisions of the gods regarding humans.<\/p>\n This is a preview of our premium article available only to members of Ancient Pages.<\/strong><\/p>\n Become a\u00a0member<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>to read more –\u00a0\u00a0Click here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n If you are\u00a0already a member<\/strong>\u00a0and have logged in to your account, you can\u00a0access the article here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n See also:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Evil God-Bird Anzu Who Stole The Tablet Of Destiny To Control Universe And Fates Of All<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Mesopotamians Worshipped An Unusual And Peculiar-Looking Creature \u2013 Archaeology And Sacred Texts Reveal \u2013 But What Was It?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Mysterious Wise Pre-Flood Beings Who Gave Humans A Precious Gift \u2013 Did We Reject It?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n More Premium Articles<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n![\"Mesopotamian](\"https:\/\/www.ancientpages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/pr_godnabu.jpg\")
