Ninlil's Treasure 9'X10' Barn or storage shed made of natural oak, black-painted sticks and black thread; inside are white silk sacks of salt and sugar, straw bundles tied with gold thread and a hanging basket of gold wire filled with dark berries. The Goddess Ninlil, in Mesopotamia, was revered for having provided her people with an understanding of planting and harvesting methods.

Danu on her Way to the Realm of Eternal Light 6'x30" White silk sling encasing a tiny wrapped bundle of human form suspended by gold threads for a shelf of gold-finished sticks mounted on the wall. According to hymns in the Indo-Aryan Rg Veda, dating somewhere between 1500 and 1200 BC, in the very beginning of time there was only Asura-living power. The Asura then broke down into two cosmic groups. One, the enemies of the Aryans, was known as the Danavas or Dityas, whose mother was the Goddess Danu or Diti; the other group, clearly the heroes of the Aryans, was known as the A-Dityas. This title betrays the fact that this mythical structure was created in reaction to the presence of the worshippers of Diti, since A-Ditya literally means "not Dityas", not people of the promise of supremacy among all other deities if he succeeded in killing Danu and her son, Vrtra, he does accomplish the act, thus achieving kingship among the A-Dityas.
