Nem - Babylonian - At Babylon there was (in these times) a great resort of people of various nations, who inhabited Chaldaea, and lived in a lawless manner like the beasts of the field. In the first hear there appeared, from that part of the Erythraean sea which borders upon Babylonia, an animal destitute of reason, by name Oannes (Nem), who whole body was that of a fish; that under the fish's head he had another head, with feet also below, similar to those of a man, subjoined to the fish's tail. He gave them an insight into letters and sciences, and arts of every kind. He taught them to construct cities, to found temples, to compile laws and explained to them the principles of geometrical knowledge. He made them distinguish the seeds of the earth, and showed them how to collect the fruits; in short, he instructed them in every thing which could tend to soften manners and humanize their lives. Nem - Babylonian - Was an amphibious, technologically and linguistically advanced alien who had lived along for 4,000 years, not know the fate of his missing mate Omoroca, who had gone to Earth to fight against the Goa'uld Belus.
