KULLA


 KULLA

The God of bricks and construction
Babylonian god of temple restoration. So what happened to the Tower of Babel? Obviously he didn't get the contract.

Human beings did not build in Mesopotamia. They couldn't possibly have built. When a work was finished, the builders, owners and priests sang hymns in which it was clearly explained that no human being had intervened in the work, although, at the request of the builder gods, and always under their orders, some human beings had could collaborate.
Kulla was then begged to leave the building, and depart, in his ship, to other works where humans awaited his arrival.
Already, at the beginning of the work, the gods had been conjured. The land was blessed with the blood of a sacrificed ram, and liquids such as honey and cypress resin. Then, once the trenches were opened in which the foundations of the building were to be raised, samples of precious metals (gold and silver), semi-precious stones, shells, liquids and food were deposited: honey, milk, oil, alcohol and odorous resins.
