@Aavelle interesting red yes Jupiter it would relate astrological. Mars in Greek or Aries...

Mars is Roman they kinda used what we would call the planets as their Gods

that is the god featured

Amurru and Martu are names given in Akkadian and Sumerian texts to the god of the Amorite/Amurru people, often forming part of personal names. He is sometimes called Ilu Amurru (DMAR.TU). He was the patron god of the Mesopotamian city of Ninab, whose exact location is unknown. He was occasionally called "lord of the steppe" or "lord of the mountain".[1]

Amurru/Martu was probably a western Semitic god originally. He is sometimes described as a 'shepherd' or as a storm god, and as a son of the sky-god Anu. He is sometimes called bêlu šadī or bêl šadê, 'lord of the mountain'; dúr-hur-sag-gá sikil-a-ke, 'He who dwells on the pure mountain'; and kur-za-gan ti-[la], 'who inhabits the shining mountain'. In Cappadocian Zinčirli inscriptions he is called ì-li a-bi-a, 'the god of my father'.[2]

Accordingly, it has been suggested by L. R. Bailey (1968) and Jean Ouelette (1969), that this Bêl Šadê might be the same as the Biblical ’Ēl Šaddāi who is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

the horned goat.[2] It spans the 270–300th degree of the zodiac, corresponding to celestial longitude.

-------------- so can this be the very first religion, before the Hebrews had a religion, the religion passed down from Noah?

according to the documentary hypothesis. ---Bêl Šadê could also have become the fertility-god 'Ba'al', possibly adopted by the Canaanites, a rival and enemy of the Hebrew God YHWH, and famously combatted by the Hebrew prophet Elijah.

sooooooooo it looks like this is when the great split occured

when the religion of Noah was tainted

Mmmm... often people would have stories and some times things got lost in translation. Like most high man could be miss informed as a Gold or a hero so to speak

when the great religion of Adam to Noah split and became two paths

Yes often changes of empire impresses different cultures together

so there was one religion with Noah, then his sons would have gone out and each created their own version ....perhaps....3 great splits of the base religion

Mmm well the divisions often from mixing of cultures. So like the Spanish to Mexico festival where old holidays that really now are represented by saints for seasons so to speak.

I try to be understanding of what like other people talk about because some times it is just the fine details and not that they are not important but some people just don’t know and can’t expect everyone to not have thought something Elise

Awesome reads though @Aavelle

Cappadocia, in this sense, was bounded in the south by the chain of the Taurus Mountains that separate it from Cilicia, to the east by the upper Euphrates, to the north by Pontus, and to the west by Lycaonia and eastern Galatia.[2]
