	Ian Lawton on Sitchin's Pantheon of Gods
		However there is an underlying rationale to Sitchin's assembly of the Sumerian pantheon: he suggests the existence of a 'cryptographic numbering system' by which mechanism the 'pantheon of twelve great gods' can be established.
		We also looked at my reconstruction of the Sumerian Pantheon's 'family tree' in a previous paper, and noted that it must be regarded as an approximation rather than a literal set of relationships.
		The latter is in fact not one of the celebrated deities, which would not appear to justify such a lofty assimilation, and all we can say is that he is sometimes linked with Dumuzi - but then Sitchin always treats the latter as a separate deity in his work anyway.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Each of the seven principal cities of Sumeria was ruled by a different deity, who was worshipped in the strange, non-Semitic language of the Sumerians; and language which has been closely allied to that of the Aryan race, having in fact many words identical to that of Sanskrit (and, it is said, to Chinese!).
		Judging by a Sumerian grammar at hand, the word KUTULU or Cuthalu (Lovecraft's's Cthulhu Sumerianised) would mean "The Man of KUTU (Cutha); the Man of the Underworld; Satan or Shaitan, as he is known to the Yezidis (whom Crowley considered to be the remnants of the Sumerian Tradition).
