From today's featured article
Enlil was a Sumerian god. He was the god of air and the sky, and had ambivalent feelings about humans, sometimes wanting to destroy them for making too much noise.
His worship was picked up by the ancient Israelites and merged with the local storm god, creating a Zeus-like father figure which eventually evolved into the modern monotheistic conception of god.

Deep thoughts by Enki
"What harm does it do if an online reference has a long tail of articles that are only interesting to a few people, so long as everyone can still find whatever they're looking for?" - Paul Graham
Dove thoughts by LeicesterLass
True freedom begins when you stop running from your own reflection. When you no longer reject the parts of yourself you do not understand. When you embrace the duality within, the contradictions, the complexity of your being. Only then can you move beyond illusion, beyond limitation.
– Dame Dove Hepburn (1980–2025)
