One of Simo Parpola’s more controversial proposals–that the Neo-Assyrians had a form of monotheism–is available for free on scribd, “Monotheism in Ancient Assyria.” This essay first appeared in One God or Many? Concepts of Divinity in the Ancient World: Essays on the concept of monotheism/polytheism in ancient Assyria, Egypt, Greece, and Israel, ed. Barbara Nevling Porter. Transactions of the Casco Bay Assyriological Institute, Vol. 1, 2000, pp. 165-209. Enjoy!

“One of Simo Parpola’s more controversial proposals …”
And that’s saying something!

Thanks for the link. Entertaining, but unconvincing. The way Parpola wildly jumps about, drawing all sorts of conclusions and assumptions from so little except his own harmonizing theories, comes across as spurious.

And wasn’t Ea’s number 40, not 60?
