2395	ENT_ELAM_HUMBAN	aligned_with	ENT_MES_ENLIL	medium	Humban and Enlil are structurally parallel as the chief divine authorities of their respective civilizations in the ancient Near East — both serve as the supreme male deity whose approval legitimates royal power and whose invocation in royal inscriptions signals the highest divine sanction. As neighboring civilizations (Elam and Mesopotamia were in continuous political and cultural contact for two millennia), their chief deities occupied structurally identical positions in their respective pantheons. The Assyrian texts about Elamite kings routinely mention Humban alongside Ashur in diplomatic contexts, reflecting awareness of Humban as the Elamite equivalent of the Assyrian divine patron. Confidence medium: the parallelism is structural; the two deities were not explicitly equated by ancient commentators. Potts (1999) p. 263.	SRC_POTTS_ELAM	reviewed	PER_ELAM_CLASSICAL
