Roman Mercury was Greek Hermes was Egyptian Thoth was Sumerian Ningishzida.
Ningishzida assisted in the creation of humans with his father Enki and aunt Ninharsag. He was the wisest of Enki's three sons, and Enki passed all his knowledge to him. The trio were masters of genetic manipulation.

Ningishzida appears throughout ancient cultures as different characters, but typically associated with serpent and knowledge. Quetzalcoatl the Plumed Serpent in Mexico before the Spanish.

The staff with a single serpent appears in Greek as the Rod of Aesculapius the Healer, and in Old Testament as Moses' staff of miracles. Exodus also tells how Pharaoh's magicians could also transform their staffs into serpents. 

Modern medical industry uses it as a symbol of power.
