[edit] The Biblical Serpent and the Eden Story
I would welcome informed and sourced comments in this article about whether or not Ningishzida is believed to be an origin for the Biblical serpent. --Tediouspedant (talk) 22:16, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Hiya, please add references to the historical roots section based on the following: http://www.lessing-photo.com/dispimg.asp?cr=2&i=08021238+&d=3&p=1&a=d&hr=0 That is the libation cup in question. Found it while researching something i may get permanently etched in to my dermis tomorrow. And a further reference to cite is Cirlot's Dictionary of Symbols second edition pages 35 and 6. 76.169.100.117 (talk) 04:49, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hebrew equivalent? I heard that the Sumerian "Ningishzida" might be related to the Hebrew: דָּ֫עַת עֵץ דָּ֫עַת - "nachash ets daath" meaning "serpent (of the) tree (of) knowledge". Can any expert comment? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.71.43.37 (talk) 15:47, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
[edit] This article needs help
I'll be back to fix it, but before I did come back to, I just made sure I fixed the sumerian syllabic spelling of it from nin-ngish-zi-da to nin-ngish-zid-da, in which you will find on the index of proper nouns at ETCSL for the name. Abdishtar (talk) 10:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
[edit] spelling
It is correct that the ETCSL spells nin-ngish-zid-da but if you take a cuneiform sign list the sign is not ZID but ZI (you can check on the official sign list on Enenuru catalog)

[edit] Weasel words
Where it is implied that "some say" the intertwining snakes are copulating, this is repeated in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus , only there it is given as a proper citation. 28.Apr 2011 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.191.87.254 (talk) 11:52, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
