Why did Babylon want the God of Yue Bai?

Nanna, the moon god revered by Sumerians, was assimilated by Akkadian moon god Xin and suppressed by Babylonian god Marduk for a long time. It was not until 555 BC to 539 BC that Marduk was "re-established" in order to crack down on the priests who occupied the capital for a long time, consolidate his ruling position and deliberately belittle his authority.

After the Reformation Movement in Ponis, the powerful Babylonian priest group resolutely resisted and opposed it, which directly attracted the army of Persian cyrus the great. Babylonia's position as the center of civilization in West Asia and the official worship of luna in West Asia no longer continued, but in the northern Arabian Peninsula, luna's influence was obviously enhanced. Judging from the rock carvings unearthed in Taima, it is the center of Yue Bai. Taima is an oasis city in Arabia, where Na Bognis lived for ten years. The northern part of the peninsula is bordered by Sinai Peninsula and Crescent Land in the west and the two river basins in the north. Akkadians, Aramaics and Hebrews with higher civilization have great influence on Arabs. Around A.D., the Romans moved eastward, which made Nabata and Demoures, two northern Arab countries, fall into depression one after another. The northern part of the peninsula became a buffer zone between the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire, and the two were influenced by the Romans and Persians respectively.

The violent political turmoil in the northern part of the peninsula did not deeply touch the inherent spiritual beliefs of the local Arabs. Most of them are still limited to the original concept of animism and theocracy, mainly including idols, rocks, animals and plants. The god they worship is el-ilah, which is compared with HUM in Akkadian, elah in Aramaic, Elohim in Hebrew and 1 in southern Arabic inscriptions. Ilah in Arabic has the same root, which means "God, God arrival". There is a universal law in semitic mythology, that is, the name of the most high god must be avoided and replaced by another related title. Therefore, such a general term actually reflects the internal and essential consistency of the Semitic people.

Similar to other Semitic beliefs, star worship is very popular among northern Arab tribes. If allat, the most important goddess in Naibates Temple, was strongly influenced by Greek-Roman mythology during Roman rule, then the trinity god prevailing in palmira Temple in the 3rd century A.D. and the genealogy of ancient Sumer-Akkadian people come down in one continuous line, thus reflecting the distinctive personality of star worship in West Asia. The members of this trio are Bell (or Bershaming), Al Hobor (or Mara K) and Agri Bohr.

Bel, belum in Akkadian and be'-el in Aramaic all come from the Semitic bol/ba' al, which means "master". Belshamin consists of "Bel" and "shamin", which means "Master in the sky". Alibo. (Yarih) and a master "(bel), which means" the messenger of the Lord "and refers to the sun god. The word Yarih also means "moon" in West Semite. K, which consists of "Malak" and "Master" (Bell), still means "Messenger of the Lord".
