Moon god Sin

Sin, also known as Nanna, is the ancient Mesopotamian moon god worshipped primarily in Sumer, Akkad, and Babylon. He is often depicted as a serene figure associated with the moon's cycles, symbolizing time and fertility. Sin was regarded as the father of the sun god Shamash and the goddess Inanna. His main temple, the ETemple of Sin in Ur, was a significant religious site. Sin's influence extended to agriculture and calendars, as his phases were used to set planting and harvesting times. He embodies the connection between celestial movements and human life in ancient Mesopotamian culture.
