when the heavens above did not exist

and earth had not come into being

there was Apsu

first in order

their begetter

and demiurge Tiamat

sacred mother, who gave birth to them all

when their waters mingled

Ea was created

Enuma Elish

Enuma Elish

Enuma Elish

Enuma Elish

for his children, clamouring loudly

he will destroy them and break up their way of life

Apsu is displeased

silence shall reign, that he may sleep

when Tiamat heard this

she raged and cried out to her spouse

how can we destroy, what we have given birth to?

in his deepest slumber

Ea killed his father



Enuma Elish

Enuma Elish

Enuma Elish

Enuma Elish



heavens above did not exist

Enuma Elish

and earth had not come into being

Enuma Elish

there was Ea

Enuma Elish

their begetter

Enuma Elish
