World History 201 Guidelines
Welcome to World History 201.
Find out if Caesar crossed the Rubicon or threw a dollar across it.
This is the forum where world history, in general, can be discussed. Since the WH201, like the other fora in the World History department, is not limited to participation along lines of theology, all may post here.
Please keep the Campus Decorum in mind when posting here--while 'belief' restrictions are not in place, common decency is.
The Tweb rules are in force . . . we're watching you.
Forum Rules: Here

The same info, generally speaking, is found in:
Gernot Wilhelm, "The Hurrians"
Oliver Gurney, "The Hittites"
See also Ben H. L. van Gessel, "Onomasticon of the Hittite Pantheon" vol.1 pp.115-147 (lists occurrences & readings of the name, and lists cult centres.)

On a side note, this would really be interesting as it might give us a clue regarding the ancient Hebrew understanding of the title given to Eve. Another connection would be that Abraham is thought to be from a Hurrian culture, thus providing a stronger connection. All quite interesting!

Hebat, also transcribed Kheba or Khepat, was the mother goddess of the Hurrians, known as "the mother of all living". She is also a Queen of the gods.

The quote is from the Wikipedia article on Hebat. The source looks scholarly but idk with Wikipedia.Tags: None
