There are four lunar events with seven days between them. Seven minus four is three which is the minimum number of legs that will support a table or altar. The lunar month is twenty-eight days which is four times seven and there are thirteen lunar months in a year. (13.04 months - 13 months and 1.24 days)There are three aspects of life, child, adult and old age. There are three genders, male, female and neuter. These rhythms of life became the sacred numbers and many things in life were given these attributes.
Frigga, Inanna was the princess of the heavens not the queen. Ki was the queen and mother to all the gods and goddesses. Inanna descended into the under world not Hell. Sumerian religion did not have a Hell. The underworld was where the bodies of the dead remained while the spirit returned to the heavens. Yes there were seven gates that one had to go through to get to the underworld and one had to leave an article of clothing or other offering at each gate. Burial practices included burying seven articles that could be left at each gate so the dead would have clothing to keep them warm. If one did not have seven articles then they were tortured until the debt was paid.
