She reconstructs the historical development of the Anu cult, its underlying theology, and its daily rites of worship, with a particular focus on the yearly nocturnal fire ceremony at the Anu temple, the B?t R??. Providing the first in-depth analysis of the ceremony, Julia Krul convincingly identifies it as a seasonal renewal festival with an important exorcistic component, but also as a reinforcement of local hierarchical relationships and the elite status of the Anu priesthood. 410 0$aCulture and history of the ancient Near East ;$vVolume 95. 606 $aAssyro-Babylonian cults 606 $aAnu (Assyro-Babylonian deity) 606 $aRites and ceremonies$zIraq$zErech (Extinct city) 607 $aErech (Extinct city)$xReligious life and customs 615 0$aAssyro-Babylonian cults. 615 0$aAnu (Assyro-Babylonian deity) 615 0$aRites and ceremonies 676 $a299.21 700 $aKrul$b Julia$01546250 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796970903321 996 $aThe revival of the Anu cult and the nocturnal fire ceremony at late Babylonian Uruk$93801697 997 $aUNINA
