Dove Goddess

Sumerian – Babylonian or Mesopotamian Gods and Goddesses and the religion they represent often refers to the public policies of Sumeria and Akkadia which includes the covetous practices of the Assyrian and Babylonian peoples. Those people living in Mesopotamia (the area of modern Iraq) that dominated the region for a period of 4200 years used the symbol of a dove to represent their systems of social welfare through the State which snared the people in a form of corvee where they became human resources in a civil or a legal captivity similar to the bondage of Egypt.
