Jewelry - "Sun" pendant on lava stone

The "magical" (black) sun is concretely attested for the first time in the Akkadian-Old Babylonian region (Sargon I, Naram-Sin). In BAB-CHOME, the invisible "dark sun" is considered the earthly power source of the supreme deity "ILU," directly connected to the divine power acting from the afterlife, which can - in part - be utilized by the gods and goddesses, particularly Anu, Enlil, Ea, Ishtar, and Marduk. The close relationship between this pantheon and that of the Edda has been proven, even if there is as yet no final, definitive explanation for this Mesopotamian-Germanic commonality.
One of the best-known and most beautiful depictions of the "Black Sun," which is placed alongside the "sun of the day," can be found on the large Naram-Sin stele kept in the Louvre in Paris. The myth of the "Black Sun" spread from southern Babylonia to Assyria, Persia, Phoenicia, Carthage, and Egypt. Emperor Frederick II brought an Assyrian amulet with the "Black Sun" to Europe; and this is its first tangible appearance in Europe (though this says nothing about whether the belief in the "Black Sun" might have already been native to us in earlier Germanic times (see Mesopotamian-Germanic commonality).
