Khaldis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Khaldi (god). (Discuss) Proposed since August 2009. |
The Khaldis was a conglomeration of at least 79 different gods known to the Urartians and Hurrians.[1] The inscription of Argistis near Lake Van states:
"This is the spoil of the cities which I obtained for the people of the Khaldis its one year... To Khaldis, the giver, to the Khaldises. The supreme givers, the children of Khaldis the mighty"[2]
From this we can derive that the Pantheon — the Khaldis — may also refer to a sphere of religion or cultural influence of a particular way of life the people of the area followed.
This Pantheon was the traditional religion in the area. Abraham hailed from Ur-Of-The-Khaldis.[3]
