Khaldis

Khaldis

The Khaldis was a conglomeration of at least 79 different gods known to the Urartians and Hurrians. The inscription of Argistis near Lake Van states:

"This is the spoil of the cities which I obtained for the people of the Khaldis its one year... To Khaldis, the giver, to the Khaldises. The supreme givers, the children of Khaldis the mighty"

From this we can derive that the Pantheon — the Khaldis — may also refer to a sphere of religion or cultural influence of a particular way of life the people of the area followed.

This Pantheon was the traditional religion in the area. Abram hailed from Ur-Of-The-Khaldis.
