Marduk's Creation Myth

Marduk's Creation Myth, found in the ancient Babylonian epic "Enuma Elish," describes how the god Marduk emerged as the chief deity by defeating the primordial goddess Tiamat, who represented chaos. After vanquishing her, Marduk created the world from her divided body, forming the heavens and the earth. He then fashioned humans from the blood of a slain god to serve the gods, establishing order and civilization. Marduk's victory symbolized the triumph of order over chaos and established him as the king of the gods in Babylonian mythology.
