Cush
|
His name means "he who divides the land (amongst his followers)". The ancients and subsequently the writers of the bible knew him by his hypocoristic name Cush (=division). Through the Greeks we derive our own word "chaos" (=division) from the same hypocoristicon. The Egyptians deified him as Seth, Lord Chaos. In memory of the great mariner king the region he came to was also later known as Kush. He is said to be descended from Utnapishtim (Noah), the flood hero himself, and he is the ancestor of Enmer-kar (n-m-r the hunter/hero, biblical n-m-r(-d) Nimru(d)), the builder of the famous Tower of Babel (the ziggurat of Eridu).
I am interested in ancient history and formerly in the works of Tolkien (but after a clash with the Tolkien Estate ove rmy maps that has lessened). On the internet I use the name "Steven White jr" (after my late father) so I do not have to use my real name and get spammed even more.
