[edit] Expansion
I updated the reference links and added a few modern references, and tried to clarify the section relating to Z. Sitchin. I also removed the Stub tag.Ms408 06:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sitchin/Book of Nod
The Book of Nod is a fictional document. What's more I don't see any reference to Kingu in my copy. If there is a reference, feel free to revert.
I also edited the section on Sitchin to reflect the controversial nature of his work. He goes well beyond just working on Sumerian Astrology, he reinterprets Sumerian mythology into a von Danikenite theory of ancient astronauts and alien invasions.
[edit] Ancient astronomy
This article needs information about the Sumerian cosmology in regards to the celestial body Kingu.
For those of you who are being cynical about this, the Sumerians were similar to many other cultures, such as the Romans, who named celestial bodies after their gods (or vice versa!!!)--AI 02:12, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
