Nammu

Nammu is an ancient Sumerian goddess often regarded as the mother of all gods and a personification of primeval waters or the ocean that existed before creation. She is associated with the creation of the universe and the ordering of life, embodying the primordial, formless substance out of which the world arose. In Sumerian mythology, Nammu is considered a foundational figure representing both the source of life and the chaotic waters from which gods and the universe emerged, symbolizing the fundamental elements of creation and the unifying power of the primordial waters.
