Product Information

Some scholars believe that Egyptian demon Bes is a counterpart of Pazuzu. [3] [23] Notably both are known to be protector demons [24] in the home. [24] They have iconographic links: both having lion parts, [25] wings, a distinctly long phallus, and similar facial features. [26] And there are noted similarities between the positioning of the two on protective amulets as well. [26] Another close connection is their association with the protection of pregnant women and mothers. [26] [27]

Oannes, Dagon Fish God, Dogon, Fish God, Nomu, Nomo, Extraterrestrial, Sirius, Dog Star, Fish Men, Ancient Alien, Anunnaki, ufo,humanoid William Peter Blatty's creations of Pazuzu and The Exorcist were based on a heavily reported series of 1949 events in St. Louis, Missouri concerning the possession of a 14-year-old known as "Robbie Mannheim" (or sometimes "Roland Doe"). Blatty, who was a student at Georgetown University, read about the story in Washington, D.C. newspapers and created The Exorcist twenty years later. The Exorcist III takes place 15 years after the original film. The film was adapted by Blatty from his own novel. Lieutenant Kinderman, who was also in the original film, has been on a murder case about mysterious deaths committed by an anonymous person. It is later found out that Pazuzu convinced the Gemini Killer, who died at the same time as Father Karras, to inhabit his body as punishment for saving Regan. However, as result of his suicide, his brain was severely damaged, which demons/spirits need when they possess a body. The Gemini Killer spent years stimulating his brain so he would be of use, and then began committing murders by possessing the bodies of the other inhabitants of the hospital where Karras had been staying. In the end of the movie after a turbulent exorcism is done, Karras regains control of the body and asks Kinderman to kill him, which he does by shooting him in the head, keeping him from being possessed again.We care about our planet!

[23] It could therefore be speculated that the Pazuzu heads replaced those of Humbaba. [23] Humbaba fell from favour in the Late Bronze Age, [12] shortly before Pazuzu emerged, although the two do not share any great iconographic connection, [17] making it unlikely that Pazuzu could have evolved from the earlier deity.

The original novel written by William Peter Blatty was loosely based on the case of a real exorcism of a 14-year-old boy dubbed Roland Doe. Per The Guardian, the case occurred in the 1940s, and supernatural activity and unsettling side effects supposedly began when Roland became possessed and began to act out. Hanpu is his father. He has many a connection to other wind deities, namely Lamashtu and the Lilû demons, other protective demons, as well as the foreign Egyptian dwarf deity Bes. Images of Pazuzu are similar to those of other Mesopotamian demons, but with some distinct characteristics. Pazuzu’s head takes on a more rectangular shape and features horns, heavy eyebrows, a two-pronged beard, and an open canine-like mouth displaying his teeth and tongue.

Joint Expedition of the Staatliche Museen, Berlin, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1931–32 Pazuzu first appeared in William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist in 1971. [1] The novel is about a 12-year-old girl, Regan MacNeil, possessed by a demon. The demon is later revealed to be Pazuzu; though never explicitly stated to be the demon, two references were made about his statue, which was uncovered in the prologue by Father Lankester Merrin in northern Iraq. After Regan's mother worries about her daughter being possessed, Merrin and Karras arrive at her house and perform an exorcism on Regan and successfully force the demon out of Regan's body. In their struggle to free Regan from the thrall of Pazuzu, both priests perish. Pazuzu is standing behind Lamashtu, with one arm raised. Even though his gesture may seem threatening and, with his scaly winged body, dragon’s head, scorpion’s tail, and talons, he is physically as fearsome as his spouse, he is nonetheless there to protect the patient by coaxing his wife to retreat.
