Though there is no proof that ancestor-worship in general prevailed
at any time in Babylonia, it would seem that the worship of heroes
and prominent men was common, at least in early times. The tenth
chapter of Genesis tells us of the story of Nimrod, who cannot be
any other than the Merodach of the Assyro-Babylonian inscriptions;
and other examples, occurring in semi-mythological times, are
En-we-dur-an-ki, the Greek Edoreschos, and Gilgames.
