(July 3, 2022) The top of the Sun God Tablet shows a complex bas relief. It was printed from one of several limestone molds so it could be copied and sent to several surrounding temples. The tablet and molds were discovered inside an inscribed terracotta chest (BM 91004). The chest is dated to the reign of Nabonidus (Nabu-apla-iddina ca. 888 – 855 BC), three centuries after the Sun God Tablet first appeared. The assemblage was excavated by Hormuzd Rassam in 1881 at Abū Habbah, and proved that site’s identification with ancient Sippar.

The bas relief shows the life source god Anu seated in his house above the sky shell. "Anu" is the Mesopotamian Akkadian word for the life power source power while the Mediterranean word is "Alu." In the text his powers are being blocked by the large sun disk radiating light and rain representing the god Atu. This means Anu's powers of rain production cannot reach the two mortal ambassadors approaching him. Behind the two mortals is another deity or priest indicated by his snake hat who has his arms raised.

Anu is holding the masculine/feminine power symbols (Athame and Chalice equivalents). Above the personified Ahu's head are the symbols representing the life powers belonging to his house (class of life powers). They are the moon goddess Inanna (Ishtar), sun god Atu, and manifestation god Ea (Yahu). The text in his house reads:

1. The confused divine threads are setting out from the stable and are trampling down Anu's afflicted.
2. Destitute divine threads are trampling down a number of food supply divine fluids

Above the house of Anu is probably the motion powers source god Su whose night sky motion powers are manipulating the threads of the life network by pulling the strings of Atu's network. This manipulation is what is really blocking the rain. The top right corner text reads beside the string puller reads (translation by Olmsted):

1. Anu is confused, Anu is afflicted. The destitute divine thread connections of Anu to Ea are trampling down the Fathers.
2. The divine thread openings appear destitute to Father Anu and pronounce to the divine messengers and the Twins the surrounding food supply affliction.

The Twins mentioned in the text were the charioteers who who pulled the sun across the sky-shell and through the atmosphere. As such they became associated with traveling. In Greek culture they became the stars Castor and Pollux in the constellation Gemini. Ea is the earth manifesting power of the life-growth power generated by Anu. The text above the two people and Ea reads:

1. The oven (domed sky-shell) is starving a number of Anu's divine threads which are afflicting (the remaining) number of threads by forcefully hurrying the divine fluids of our
2. fertility-fluid priests of the cloister. The afflicted (threads) are confusing the divine threads of the stable hands (magic crafters)
3. EA? has dried up, Si'u (full moon power) is crushed, the Father's tools are crushed, NUN (water power) has dried up.
