Both Nun and Apsu represent the primordial water-before-creation as an existential category, both are gendered male, and both precede and enable the creation of the ordered cosmos. The parallel is widely noted in comparative cosmogony scholarship. Confidence medium: both are independently developed primordial water deities with no direct historical connection; the parallel is structural/typological.
