![]() A triple god system was established in Harran with Nanna-Sin, Utu and Inanna. ![]() But in the following periods, the city of Harran became an important center for Nanna-Sin. The moon god Sin was very important to the Sumerian city of Ur. The region is a cult center dedicated to the Moon God Sin in the Tektek Mountains region of the Harranians during the Abgar Kingdom Period. Tek Tek Mountains, which have important Neolithic centers such as Karahantepe, Harbetsuvan, and Kurt Tepesi, also have a cult center belonging to the Moon God Sin. It is located in Yağmurlu village, where there are important springs in the Tek Tek mountains. Sogmatar, Şanlıurfa is 53 kilometers from Harran. ![]() Recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have highlighted that some of the gravest man-made and natural risks to our national and homeland security may be underappreciated by the US government, not to mention less-discussed threats like asteroid strikes, supervolcanos or nuclear war… Fortunately, there is an immediate step our leaders can take to mitigate these risks: Congress and the president should sign the Global Catastrophic Risk Management Act into law this year. As former senior US national security officials, we believe that is imperative the federal government assess and develop practical mitigation steps for a wider range of these unconventional and emerging catastrophic risks. A growing set of extremely consequential but poorly understood threats to our country - from another worldwide pandemic to more exotic but very real disasters like asteroids - requires a response on par with their potentially devastating impact. But in the op-ed below, former lawmakers Brad Carson and Mike Rogers argue that’s a fallacy that could critically cost the US should America fail to plan, now, for the unthinkable. When it comes to exotic threats to the globe, there is a tendency to totally dismiss events that are highly unlikely or simply too troubling to consider. “Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my little ones, ye have done it unto me” (Matthew 25: 35–40).
