Similar gods were worshiped in Sumer, Assyria and Anatolia Cylinder seals found in Mesopotamia, Assyria and Anatolia show us that in these areas more or less the same gods were worshiped. Some of these gods appear on many seals and can fairly well be recognized, like the mother goddess Ninlil, usually depicted as a cow with a cedar on her hind quarter, her son Sin, the moon god, who is depicted like a lion and the storm god Ninurta who is another son of Ninlil. These three gods may be depicted on the next drawing of a cylinder seal. Ninlil gives birth to a prince The seal cylinders of Western Asia by William Hayes Ward On the left stands the moon god Sin. Next to him stands his brother Ninurta. On the right stands a cow representing the mother goddess Ninlil. She gives birth to the prince who is lying below her. Before her stands the same prince now depicted as an adult. The mother goddess Ninlil is depicted as “a pure wild cow" just like she is described in the myth “Šulgi and Ninlil's barge: a tigi (?) to Ninlil:” "The mother of the Land, Ninlil the fair, comes out (?) from the house, and Enlil embraces her like a pure wild cow. They take their seats on the barge's holy dais, and provisions are lavishly prepared." Title poem: Šulgi and Ninlil's barge: a tigi (?) to Ninlil (Šulgi R): c.2.4.2.18 Published: The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature Being a cow she represented the constellation Taurus which was related to March. She carried a pole or a cedar on her hind quarter which may have represented the Galaxy (see below).
