Telipinu, storm god of Hatti 🌩️

Telipinu was well known for his ferocious temper. Frequently mortals had to engage in a mugawar to draw him back after he’d departed in a rage. Frankly, Telipinu just wanted to take a sullen nap; wouldn’t anyone be angry if awoken with a bee sting?

En lo profundo de los susurros del tiempo, escondido entre las antiguas ruinas de Hattusa, el antiguo corazón del Imperio Hitita en Turquía, se encuentra la fascinante Piedra Verde del Gran Templo. Envuelto en misterio, sus orígenes y verdadero propósito siguen siendo esquivos para los académicos que intentan descifrarlo. Pero se cree que aquel cubo hace eco de significados filosóficos muy profundos que aún burlan la imaginación de quién ignora el proyecto humano en esta tierra.

I can’t describe the feeling whenever I see a piece of writing from the Bronze Age mention the Minoans or the Harrapan civilization. They’re a total mystery to us now, but to the Hittites they were just other foreign peoples. No more mysterious than the Greeks or the Egyptians.
