Pazuzu

I took an interesting photograph of some statues from ancient Mesopotamia at the Oriental Institute of Chicago. It included the figurines of Ishtar, Pazuzu, and an elder male god.  What struck me was that the middle statue of the demon Pazuzu had a hand gesture of "as above so below" which is what was attributed to the Egyptian god, Thoth.  Perhaps, things need to be re-examined for connections.  By the way, the demon Pazuzu was the demon that the priests had to deal with in the movie series The Exorcist.  Pazuzu reminds me of a reptilian.  There is something in Sumerian mythology about a mother goddess creating "Scorpion Men" to fight the younger gods, but she loses.
