Bag om Enuma Elish
Enuma Elish: The Epic of Creation is a book that explores the ancient Babylonian creation myth. The text, which dates back to the 7th century BCE, tells the story of the god Marduk and his battle against the primordial goddess Tiamat. The book is translated and annotated by L.W. King, who was a British Assyriologist and scholar of the ancient Near East. The translation is based on cuneiform tablets that were discovered in the ruins of the Library of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh. The book provides insight into the religious beliefs and cosmology of ancient Babylonians, as well as their understanding of the origins of the universe. It is a valuable resource for scholars of ancient history, mythology, and religion.When in the height heaven was not named, And the earth beneath did not yet bear a name, And the primeval Apsu, who begat them, And chaos, Tiamut, the mother of them both Their waters were mingled together, And no field was formed, no marsh was to be seen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
