Seven Tablets of Creation

The Seven Tablets of Creation are ancient Mesopotamian texts that describe the world’s origins, detailing how the gods formed the universe, Earth, and humans. They record the creation order, divine battles, and the establishment of cosmic order. These stories reflect the beliefs of early Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian cultures, emphasizing themes of divine authority, chaos versus order, and human purpose. The tablets are key to understanding Mesopotamian mythology and their view of the universe’s genesis, serving as foundational stories that influenced later cultural and religious ideas in the region.
