I couldn't find a web image of a pictograph for either the god or the kings, however I did find some useful information for you. Nebu or Nabu's symbol is the writing stylus or writing pen: http://www.bridgesforpeace.com/publications/dispatch/ourjewishroots/Article-11.html "...The name Nebuchadnezzar, or more accurately Nebuchadrezzar (Jer. xxi. 2, 7, etc.), is derived from the Jewish Scriptures. But in the inscriptions it reads Nebo-kudurri-ussur, i.e., "may Nebo protect the crown"..." Source: http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/txt/ASSYRIA/INSCRB00.HTM And that last makes it possible to make use of this handy tool for turning "Nebo-kudurri-ussur" into cuneiform: http://www.17webplace.com/translit/tranparser.htm Not exactly what you were after but hopefully it will give you (or some researcher) a leg up in finding the answer. |

About the akkadian symbol for Nebu/Nabo/Nabu/Nebou I found this site, but it's in French. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/spqr/pal_dieux.html#Nabo As I am French, would you like me to translate the few lines about the God Nebu? Sophie |
