Their highest deity was the goddess of beer and fertility.

I knew it! I just knew it! He's a she!!

Some people totally underestimate the importance of beer in society. It is because of beer, we are even civilized human beings!! If it weren't for beer, omg, we would probably still be hanging from the trees! (Too much beer and we sometimes relive our evolutionary past.) People should have waaay more respect for beer.

Contrary to Hamurabi, who often preferred to drown people in beer rather than let them drink it, Nebuchadnezzar lacked that fellow's uptight and secular relationship to the fermented beverage. Instead, more like the Sumerians, he promoted its enjoyment by all. Under his reign, the priestesses could once again drink copious quantities of beer during sacrificial services - to please their gods and to honor their king.

I think I might have lived before. *LOL*

Praise be to Beer! Cheers folks and have a great weekend.
