403 Meters Altitude Nabu was the Babylonian god of writing and wisdom as well as the patron of the scribes. He is symbolised by the clay writing tablet with a stylus. This would have been important in Palmyra on account of the extensive trading activity, which was so meticulously recorded on clay tablets for millennia.
