Once Upon A Time in GILGO(a) MESH BABYLON.... Babylonian: Ishtar and Tammuz Ishtar, sometimes Considered a War-Goddess and sometimes a Goddess of Love and Voluptuousness, in Her Youth Loved Tammuz, God of the Harvest. According to Gilgamesh Her Love caused Tammuz Death and She was Stricken with Such Tremendous Grief that She Vowed to Descend Into The Underworld to Rescue Tammuz. After threatening Her Way Through the Door of the Underworld, She Preceded Through the Seven Precincts. At The Gate to Each She Was Forced by Allatu, Queen of the Underworld to Remove one piece of Her Dress: Her Crown, Her Earrings, Her Necklace, the Jewels from Her Breast, Her Girdle of Birthstones, Her Wrist and Ankle Bracelets, and finally the Garment Covering Her Nakedness. When Ishtar entered the Realm of Allatu in a Rage, Allatu ordered Her to be Imprisoned Forever among the Dead. The Earth became Desolate, and the Heavens Mourned. The God Ea Sent a Man to Allatu with a Magical Spell that Forced Her to Sprinkle Ishtar with the Water of Life and Return Her to the Earth. As Ishtar exited the gates, She was Bestowed the Adornments She had Lost.
