Book Synopsis Babylonian Creation Myths by : Wilfred G. Lambert
Download or read book Babylonian Creation Myths written by Wilfred G. Lambert. This book was released on 2013-09-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of the last half of the twentieth century, W. G. Lambert devoted much of his research energy and effort to the study of Babylonian texts dealing with Mesopotamian ideas regarding creation, including especially Enuma Elish. This volume, which appears almost exactly 2 years after Lambert’s death, distills a lifetime of learning by the world’s foremost expert on these texts. Lambert provides a full transliteration and translation of the 7 tablets of Enuma Elish, based on the known exemplars, as well as coverage of a number of other texts that bear on, or are thought to bear on, Mesopotamian notions of the origin of the world, mankind, and the gods. New editions of seventeen additional “creation tales” are provided, including “Enmesharra’s Defeat,” “Enki and Ninmah,” “The Slaying of Labbu,” and “The Theogony of Dunnu.” Lambert pays special attention, of course, to the connection of the main epic, Enuma Elish, with the rise and place of Marduk in the Babylonian pantheon. He traces the development of this deity’s origin and rise to prominence and elaborates the relationship of this text, and the others discussed, to the religious and political climate Babylonia. The volume includes 70 plates (primarily hand-copies of the various exemplars of Enuma Elish) and extensive indexes.

Book Synopsis Scientific Secrets in the Epic of Creation Enuma Elish by : Mohammad R. N. Zok
Download or read book Scientific Secrets in the Epic of Creation Enuma Elish written by Mohammad R. N. Zok. This book was released on 2017-01-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, you will discover what the true story was and what the wrong one was in the myths of Sumer and Babylon. In the Mesopotamia region, plates written by ancient writers were discovered. After deciphering their content, scientists named them myths and legends because they interpreted that these texts spoke about gods and goddesses. As for me, I chose to describe the deciphering of these texts as right and wrong because it's right for scientists to call them myths and legends, but it's totally wrong to believe they speak about myths of gods and goddesses.
