TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

You seem to know a lot about what you're looking for, for someone who came here looking for answers.

Ever since I discovered Mumu/Mummu with the KLF many years ago and realized it was the soundtrack for the Illuminatus! Trilogy, I've had a fascination with the topic.  Long before that, I fell in love with Samuel Noah Kramer, and old, old author and researcher of Sumerian mythology (specifically Inanna).
Despite having an interest, my knowledge has been limited (work, life, etc., you know).  As the internet grew, so did the amount of knowledge about these topics.

I've probably picked up more info in the last week than I'd picked up in the last 20 years (thanks internet!).  Still, I'm lacking info and I'm actively searching for even the tiniest clue for something maybe I've missed.  I simply need some kinda graphical representation of Mummu.  I could just invent any ol' thing -- like a chaos symbol or rehash a sacred chao or something...but I'd like something more accurate and realistic.

I figure that the people then probably had amulets and talismans or something to represent Mummu so they could assume his power (much like one gets to wear a cross to assume the power of jesus or a skillet to assume the power of Paula Deen), yet I've not been able to find anything like that.

I've contacted the British Museum as they seem to have a premiere collection of Sumerian and Mesopotamian items stolen  collected from the mideast, but they're apparently too busy to write me back :)

Soooo....I'm hoping anyone may have pieces of the puzzle I've missed :) Mummu appears to be far more interesting than I imagined.

Why would you choose to visually represent what was originally meant to not be visually represented?

I don't know that it wasn't originally mean to be represented visually.  Maybe it was represented visually and lost to time.  Maybe they made Mummu adventure coloring books for the kids :)  Even if there was some taboo stopping it from being represented, why would I *not* want to represent it anyway? :)  People still make Mohammed cartoons :)
