  • The Enuma Elish (Enûma Eliš) is the Babylonian creation myth that describes the great hero Marduk's battle with the great primordial dragon Tiamat and her armies of gods and monsters. Marduk defeats Tiamat, mutilates her body and uses it to form the covering of the sky and the Earth. He then creates man to keep the worship of the gods upon the earth.
    The Enuma Elish's earliest texts date back to the 700-600 BC, however the text was probably compiled long before, up to around 1800 BC.

    Tablet One:
    The tale begins before creation, when only the primordial entities Apsu and Tiamat existed, co-mingled together. There were no other things or gods, nor had any destinies been foretold. Then from the mixture of Apsu and Tiamat two gods issued - Lahmu and Lahamu; next Anshar and Kishar were created. From Anshar came firstly the god Anu, and from Anu, came Nudimmud (also known as Ea).
    The commotion of these new gods disturbed and disgusted Tiamat, and Apsu could not calm them. Apsu called Mummu to speak with Tiamat, and he proposed to destroy the new gods, but Tiamat was reluctant to destroy what they had made. Mummu advised Apsu to destroy them, and he embraced Mummu. The new gods heard of this and were worried - Ea however crafted a spell to lull Apsu to sleep.
    Mummu sought to wake Apsu but could not - Ea took Apsu's halo and wore it himself, slew Apsu, and chained Mummu. Apsu became the dwelling place of Ea, together with his wife Damkina. Within the heart of Apsu, Ea and Damkina created Marduk. The splendor of Marduk exceeded Ea and the other gods, and Ea called him "My son, the Sun!". Anu created the four winds.
    Other gods taunted Tiamat: 'When your consort (Apsu) was slain you did nothing', and complained of the wearisome wind. Tiamat then made monsters to battle the other gods, eleven chimeric creatures with weapons, with the god Kingu chief of the war party and her new consort. She gave Kingu the 'Tablet of Destinies', making his command unchallengeable.
    Tablet Two:
    Ea heard of Tiamat's plan to fight and avenge Apsu. He spoke to his grandfather Anshar, telling that many gods had gone to Tiamat's cause, and that she had created eleven monstrous creatures fit for war, and made Kingu their leader, wielding the 'Tablet of Destinies'. Anshar was troubled and told Anu to go to appease Tiamat, but he was too weak to face her and turned back. Anshar became more worried, thinking no god could resist Tiamat.
    Finally, Anshar proposed Marduk as their champion. Marduk was brought forth, and asked what god he must fight - to which Anshar replied that it was not a god but the goddess Tiamat. Marduk confidently predicted his victory, but exacted their promise to proclaim him supreme god, with authority over even Anshar.
    Tablet Three:
    Anshar spoke to Gaga, who advised him to fetch Lahmu and Lahamu and tell them of Tiamat's war plans, and of Marduk's demand for overlordship if he defeats her. Lahmu and Lahamu and other Igigi (heavenly gods) were distressed, but drank together, becoming drowsy, and finally approving the compact with Marduk.
    Tablet Four:
    Marduk was given a throne, and sat over the other gods, who honored him.
    Lord, truly thy decree is first among gods.
    Say but to wreck or create; it shall be.
    Open thy mouth: the Images will vanish!
    Speak again, and the Images shall be whole!
    (Other gods speak to Marduk) Translation, Table IV. Lines 20-. Pritchard 1969, p. 66
    Marduk was also given a sceptre and vestments, as well as weapons to fight Tiamat - bow, quiver, mace, and bolts of lightning, together with the four winds - his body was aflame.
    Using the four winds Marduk trapped Tiamat. Adding a whirlwind, a cyclone, and Imhullu ("the Evil Wind"), together the seven winds stirred up Tiamat. In his war chariot drawn by four creatures he advanced. He challenged Tiamat, stating she had unrightfully made Kingu her consort, accusing her of being the source of the trouble. Enraged, Tiamat joined Marduk in single combat.
    Marduk used a net, a gift from Anu, to entangle Tiamat; Tiamat attempted to swallow Marduk, but 'the Evil Wind' filled her mouth. With the winds swirling within her she became distended - Marduk then shot his arrow, hitting her heart - she was slain. The other gods attempted to flee but, Marduk captured them, broke their weapons, and netted them. Her eleven monsters were also captured and chained; whilst Kingu was taken to Uggae (the Angel of Death), the 'Tablet of Destinies' taken from him. Marduk then smashed Tiamat's head with the mace, while her blood was carried off by the North Wind.
    Marduk then split Tiamat's remains in two - from one half he made the sky - in it he made places for Anu, Enlil, and Ea.
    Tablet Five:
    Marduk made likenesses of the gods in the constellations, and defined the days of the year from them. He created night and day, and the moon also. He created clouds and rain, and their water made the Tigris and Euphrates. He gave the 'Tablet of Destinies' to Anu.
    Statues of the eleven monsters of Tiamat were made and installed at the gate of Apsu.
    Tablet Six:
    Marduk then spoke to Ea - saying he would use his own blood to create man - and that man would serve the gods. Ea advised one of the gods be chosen as a sacrifice - the Igigi advised that Kingu be chosen - his blood was then used to create man.
    Construct Babylon, whose building you have requested,
    Let its brickwork be fashioned. You shall name it 'The Sanctuary.'
    (Marduk commands the other gods, the Anunnaki)
    Translation, Table VI. Lines 57-. Pritchard 1969, p. 68
    Marduk then divided the gods into "above" and "below" - three hundred in the heavens, six hundred on earth. The gods then proposed to build a throne or shrine for him - Marduk told them to construct Babylon. The gods then spent a year making bricks - they built the Esagila (Temple to Marduk) to a great height, making it a place for Marduk, Ea, and Enlil.
    A banquet was then held, with fifty of the great gods taking seats. Anu praising Enlil's bow and then Marduk.
    The first nine names or titles of Marduk were given.
    Tablet Seven:
    The remainder of Marduk's fifty names or titles were read.

    • @TheMorrogoth
      @TheMorrogoth 6 років тому +3

      Where is the scientific proof of this? Because everything Zecharia Sitchin has theorized has been debunked with ease.
      And the myth of Nibiru doesn't support this... The teaching is that Nibiru (Marduk) itself is what hit Tiamet (Earth). No where does it teach that Nibiru is still inside Earth. Whats funny about this idea - Is that Sitchin was shown to be wrong in regards to when Nibiru would show up - So in 1995 (when he theorized that we should start to feel the exo-Planet) this theory was given by Nancy Lieder!!! Sitchin NEVER believed in any form of Cataclysm!!!
      Now that 2012 has come and gone - We are now seeing outliers of this (stupid) theory try and explain it away as though the planet DID exist... But that it was destroyed in such a way that now it is either completely gone - Or that it is melded with Earth... Which again - Can NOT be possible!
      Note: This is only in regards to the explanation of the planet itself - Now hoaxers are claiming that its not an actual planet - But an entire solar system...
      Why?
      1) The size of the astroid the almost destroyed all life on Earth 65 million years ago - Was roughly 10km (6 miles) in diameter,
      2) Nibiru was said to have been the size of Neptune, and
      3) Nibiru is said to make its trek in 3,600 years - Yet it was claimed that if it weren't for the sun in the way - We would have been able to see it in the path of the sun in 2014...
      Where did it go after 2014??! Did it just melt away as it continued to head this way? The effects of a planet that large coming near Earth would cause the Earth to enter discourse... Start to wobble. Cause massive climate change (not on the scope of 1 or 2 degrees as we are seeing - But in the range of 10+ at high and 10+ on the low...).
      This ofc isn't touching on the fact that all of this was thrown away by most of the Nibiru community - And now its believed to be a "mini" solar system... Where there are multiple planets!

    • @orion3267
      @orion3267 6 років тому +2

      I thought that the Tiamat ( what is now earth) was hit by Nibiru's moon. Nibiru's moon was the Anunnaki's off planet observatory. Which is why some claim is why there were the destroyed glass domes and buildings and such on our moon now.

    This was a genius way that the Anunnaki explained the formation of the Earth in our solar system to the primitive humans they recently created! If you are going to explain something like this (the formation of a planet by a collision, within a solar system) to a child, you're not going to get anywhere talking about; "gravitational pull", "trajectory", "axis", etc.. Explaining it using names of the something they understand (characters from a child's show or in the Sumerian's case, use their gods as characters) and a war (or a fight) between them. And turn it into an epic poem/story.

      symbols of an idea or conception.
      As letters,

      flow forth,
      scripted together to convey a message.

It's a description of religious traditions of Semites in Egypt showing polytheistic tendencies, or there's "An Underworld Vision of an Assyrian Prince".

    Instead of saying "lacuna" the Narrator should have a needle-scratch sound-effect, to make it seem like a vinyl record being skipped over the lacunae. Either that, or have a three-tone sound -- "Boop-boop-boop!" -- to represent the ellipses often used in a text to indicate missing portions, as in: " . . . " Just a suggestion.
