Hardly the latter, for Nusku is a solar deity, whereas, as we have tried to show, Nabu is originally a water-deity. But however we may choose to account for it, the prominence of Nusku is obscured by Nabu.
We may trace it back, therefore, to the very early period when the sacred cities of Babylonia lay on the Persian Gulf. The use of the ships also suggests, that the solemn procession of the gods was originally on water and not on land, and it is likely that this excursion of the gods symbolized some homage to the chief water-deity, Ea.
This relationship, as well as the interpretation of the ideogram above set forth, points to the original character of the goddess as a water-deity. This goddess, therefore, would be of an entirely different form from the ones discussed in the previous paragraphs.
