Ullikummi – Genderless, Blind, Deaf Rock Monster Created For Strategic Purposes In Beliefs Of Hurrian People

A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Our understanding of Ullikummi and Kumarbi comes exclusively from existing Hittite texts and mythological records. These documents are collectively called the Kumarbi Cycle, which includes several significant works. Among these, two prominent pieces are "Kingship in Heaven," also known as the "Song of Kumarbi" or the "Hittite Theogony".

Another piece is included in this cycle and refers to the Song of Ullikummi.

These texts are ancient records and invaluable windows into the mythology and religious beliefs surrounding Kumarbi in Hittite culture. They are the primary sources for scholars and researchers, providing profound insights into ancient Near Eastern mythology and religion.

Like many ancient belief systems, the Hittite religion featured a structured divine hierarchy. Specific deities held greater power and cosmic significance within this system than others.

At the apex of this pantheon stood the storm god, who played a central role in the Hittite worldview. This supreme deity was entrusted with the crucial task of sustaining life on earth and ensuring the supply of essential resources for human survival.
