HISTORY
The pantheon of deities worshipped in ancient Mesopotamia, also referred to as the Babylonian or Sumerian gods. Few know that many of the gods of ancient Mesopotamia were actually aliens, renegades from Oa who enslaved the people of the Middle East, using their superior powers and technology. Generation after generation, mankind was subject to the Oans' cruelty and their whims. Not all of these beings were Oan renegades, however, and that faction of the pantheon was banished to the underworld of Kurnugi when Nergal angered the goddess Ishtar.
