God Marduk rules Jupiter
The association between Jupiter and God Marduk goes back to Mesopotamia. He was “The bearer of the signs of the inhabited world”. He was also”The great God, the lord, the ruler, who once rises, gives a sign …” Marduk is the largest and most important God of Heaven – Anunna. Anunna is the heaven and the 600 Gods of Heaven and Underworld over which Marduk has power. He was the most important God in the Kasit period of Mesopotamia.
It is important to note that the Mesopotamians were making logical association between Jupiter and the moon, so as they linked the Sun and Saturn. These stars often wore the same name. Our assumptions are that this associated with the relationship of the sun and Saturn as at that time as Saturn associated with the counting of time, and the other is the master, and between Jupiter and the Moon relationship associates with friendship. There are other reason we have noted in the analysis of Saturn.
Jupiter and other planets has many names linked to the various Mesopotamian epochs, but especially important are those whose etymology is rooted in observations of heliacal phases of the planet.
Shtulpae is one of the names of Jupiter, which associates with Jupiter when he is close to the eastern horizon.
Jupiter also had another name – a “Royal Star”. When his light was at his brightest, he associated with the sign that the king will stay forever on his throne.
