The Seven Tablets of Creation, or Enuma Elish, is a Babylonian and Assyrian creation epic chronicling the rise of the god Marduk and his victory over primordial chaos, represented by the goddess Tiamat. The myth details the creation of the cosmos from Tiamat's body, the formation of the gods, and the creation of humanity to serve the gods. This text is renowned for its themes of order versus chaos and parallels with the Book of Genesis. The work, famously studied and translated by scholars such as L.W. King, serves as the primary source for understanding Mesopotamian cosmology.
