Deity ruler of "The Ancients", Mesopotamian purveyors of technical knowledge, mathematics and abstract concepts. In popular writing, Mummu is mentioned in Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus! Trilogy as 'The Spirit of Pure Chaos'. Mummu is a Mesopotamian deity present in the Babylonian creation myth. Sometimes referred to as 'the son of Apsu and Tiamat', Mummu is the third god in the primordial cosmogenous divine trinity. As the third of the first gods Mummu symbolizes the mental world, or logos. Mummu appears also the Sumerian Myth of Zu where Imdugud, whose name is translated as 'flashing wind', steals the Tablets of Fate but in turn is defeated by Ningirsu. In their battle an arrow in midair is ordered to return to its 'mummu', which in this case meant the shaft's return to the living reed from which it was cut, the guts return to the animal's rump and finally the feathers to the bird's wings. Therefore in a larger magnitude, mummu is detransformation, the return to chaos, demanifacturing. Through the Second law of thermodynamics, the dissipation of energy from matter and its 'return' to its simplest common denominator, mummu can be understood as Entropy. Towards the middle of the Babylonian creation myth, Ea (a more powerful deity) locks Mummu and Apsu away, reversing the process of degeneration and thus creating the physical world.

Once they become consumed with Torment, they turn into four-armed monstrosities with steel-like skin and serrated claws. Pure chaos writhes around them. Like some of the other Visages, the Mummu could not exist until the Fallen violated God's decree and made contact with man. Prior to that, those who eventually became Mummu tended to work with the Zaltu and the Mammetum to show humans how to build and master their domains through the example of animals. Adam even managed to build a sling, and use it, but when he forgot how the next day, the frustrated Mummu-to-be decided to rebel. They became the weaponsmiths of the war, forging the tools that their fellow Fallen would use to destroy their enemies. Many were driven crazy after being cast into the Abyss because there was nothing for them to create or create with.
