介绍（中）	在美索不达米亚，神被认为存在于日常生活的物质和体验中。在公元前3000年的大部分时间里，恩利尔被认为是美索不达米亚最强大的神，是一场"肆虐的风暴"或"野牛"，而伊娜娜女神则以不同的伪装再次出现，成为晨星和晚星。在他们被适当的仪式所激励后，神灵实际上居住在他们的邪教雕像中，破旧雕像的碎片被保存在寺庙的墙壁内这个双手紧握、瞪大眼睛的站姿是一个崇拜者。它被放置在Tell Asmar的"广场神庙"，可能是献给阿布神的，以便代表它所代表的人永远祈祷。因为人类同样被认为存在于他们的雕像中。类似的雕像有时也刻有统治者及其家族的名字。
介绍（英）	In Mesopotamia gods were thought to be physically present in the materials and experiences of daily life. Enlil, considered the most powerful Mesopotamian god during most of the third millennium B.C., was a "raging storm" or "wild bull," while the goddess Inanna reappeared in different guises as the morning and evening star. Deities literally inhabited their cult statues after they had been animated by the proper rituals, and fragments of worn statues were preserved within the walls of the temple. This standing figure, with clasped hands and a wide-eyed gaze, is a worshiper. It was placed in the "Square Temple" at Tell Asmar, perhaps dedicated to the god Abu, in order to pray perpetually on behalf of the person it represented. For humans equally were considered to be physically present in their statues. Similar statues were sometimes inscribed with the names of rulers and their families.
