"Desctructive storms and evil winds are they,
A storm of evil, presaging the baneful storm,
A storm of evil, forerunner of the baneful storm.
Mighty children, mighty sons are they,
Messengers of Namtar are they,
Throne-bearers of Ereshkigal.
The flood driving through the land are they.
Seven gods of the wide heavens,
Seven gods of the broad earth,
Seven robber-gods are they.
Seven gods of universal sway,
Seven evil gods,
Seven evil demons,
Seven evil and violent demons,
Seven in heaven, seven on earth."

I, Description of "The Seven", this story is the sixteenth tablet of a series called the "Evil Demon Series", of which there are an Assyrian with a parallel Sumerian text,a very ancient legend inscription in stone by assyrians.

Based on this ancient inscription about Namtaru, the seven plagues and messengers of Namtar, I made this drawing based in an old and georgeous photo by Ortiz-Echagüe with charcoal development process.
