Still, it is rather curious that he does not appear even in the inscriptions of the Assyrian kings by himself, but in association with another god.

Thus Tiglathpileser I.( _c._ 1130 B.C.) gives an elaborate account of an old temple to Anu and Ramman in the city of Ashur that he restores to more than its former grandeur.[166] This dedication of a temple to two deities is unusual.

Ramman is the god of thunder and storms, whose seat of course is in the heavens.

He stands close, therefore, to Anu, the supreme god of heaven.

In the religious productions, this relationship is expressed by making Ramman the son of Anu.
