Ishkur - Babylonian - The Sumarian god Ishkur didn't reach the popularity as the god of storms and rain as he did with his Babylonian counterpart, Adad, most likely because rain was scarce in his part of the world. Because he was a nature god, he was put in the same class as the Babylonian sun god, Shamash. Among the Assyrians, his cult was especially developed along with his warrior aspect.
Ishkur - Babylonian - 5,000 years ago, the ancestors of the current Sodan Jaffa population were part of an elite command force under the Goa'uld Ishkur. For years, they pillaged and plundered under his name. The further they ascended among Ishkur's ranks, the more they realized that Ishkur was not a god at all, but merely an imposter. The Sodan determined the true gods were those that came before them, namely the Ancients. (Babylon)
