Enuma Elish | The Babylonian Epic of Creation | Complete Audiobook | With Commentary

This is the complete audiobook of the Enuma Elish : The Babylonian Epic of Creation that also comes with commentary. I hope that you all enjoy this awesome work that helps us better understand ancient Mesopotamian Mythology, Religion and Civilization.
The Enuma Elish (also known as The Seven Tablets of Creation) is the Mesopotamian creation myth whose title is derived from the opening lines of the piece, "When on High". All of the tablets containing the myth, found at Ashur, Kish, Ashurbanipal's library at Nineveh, Sultantepe, and other excavated sites, date to c. 1200 BCE but their colophons indicate that these are all copies of a much older version of the myth dating from long before the fall of Sumer in c. 1750 BCE.
As Marduk, the champion of the young gods in their war against Tiamat, is of Babylonian origin, the Sumerian Ea/Enki or Enlil is thought to have played the major role in the original version of the story. The copy found at Ashur has the god Ashur in the main role as was the custom of the cities of Mesopotamia. The god of each city was always considered the best and most powerful. Marduk, the god of Babylon, only figures as prominently as he does in the story because most of the copies found are from Babylonian scribes. Even so, Ea does still play an important part in the Babylonian version of the Enuma Elish by creating human beings.

That is a new addition, far beyond what was originally written. Probably to combat other encroaching religions at the time. When the Jews were under Babylonian rule, in Babylon - there were only Babylons gods and the Jews had to worship those gods as, Ishtar, Asher, as well. Do you think that they abandoned Yahweh when they were told only Babylonian gods exist? No.

@@kjeldoran38 perhaps you misunderstand me. First my claim that there are no other gods is not based on the God of Abraham's claim. Simple logic could lead one to such a conclusion. Second your opinion that such claim as the uniqueness of YHWH was not made originally in the Biblical text is just that your opinion based on no evidence. Sure you are free to believe that, but again it is just your false belief.

Absolutely not. The Sumerian tale only corroborate the Genisis narrative, only war corrupted by time due to copying, just like a broken telephone and DNA mutations (that was the cause for the paganism of gentiles). "Eridu was given to Nudimmud" - this is Nimrod! The Biblical story was first, only in oral tradition by Noah, the righteous man, and those archeologists were clearly biased like Darwin. The flood was not local and the Sumerian narrative clearly shows it. Nick, you can deny and question the Bible! Why did you do it? Had you not chose this path, you would still be here with us! The Sumerians and Akkadians were Shinar - Nimrod's descendants, and they twisted the true narrative by Nimrod's command, in order to make all peoples not worship God.

This story is actually fairly good at representing history. The Persian gulf flooded over years to the coast line that existed during Sumerian times. And as Tiamat is representative of salt water, it would seems to people living in that valley like Tiamat was attacking them. It makes me think that the story of Apsu getting angry and being killed is about a big river flood that happened right before the Persian gulf flood. Anyway, there is also evidence of a meteor striking in the Persian gulf region that would have stuck the salty water of the gulf(Marduk slating Tiamat). The tale of the winds and the fire, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. It would really have seemed like a battle of the gods. And if the water happened to stop rising around the same time? Well Marduk had defeated Tiamat, right?

This was such a treat to listen to! Thanks for making this New Year celebration more enjoyable. I have to say the context you placed the story in really made it feel that much more alive. The way the narrative kept trying to justify the strength of a man against a woman (when Enki/Ea was talking with Anshar about defeating Tiamat) all while this was replacing Inanna's worship with Marduk in real time, it really seemed to parallel a greater message being told as society in Mesopotamia may have begun to move away from a Matriarchal to a Patriarchal society. I wonder if this was a motivator for the people reciting these stories at the time.

If you look back before this, approx. 2800bc the mesopotamians knew 'Enki' (god associated with water, knowledge, crafts and creation) and 'Enlil' (god associated with wind, air, earth, and storms later know as 'Elil'). 'Enlil' was the warrior leader 'sent down' from the heavens who later told another of their kind, 'Mami' to create a workforce . . . us. According to surviving texts from that ere it was also 'Enlil' that failed when trying to control our population growth with plagues, famine etc and decided to wipe us all out with a massive flood yet failed again when a man ('Atrahasis') saved his family and numerous local wildlife within a floating vessel forming the basis for the story of 'Noah' within the bible.

This is a scientific account expressed in the language of that day. It is filled with scientific description weaving between the tangible and the abstraction of immutable laws of the heavens. One such example is when the account stated the lower gods were making noise, which caused sleepless night and sleepless days, the possible interpretation being - The lower material elements were vibrating excessively which caused disharmony of the structures above. It was necessary to destroy the lower body in order to restore the balance needed. Such is the cases of the matter, one look within the context of that day and not ours.

It was written that when the Igigi (watchers) rebelled against their creators (Anunaki), they refused to mine the most sought after gold. The creators banished the Igigi (Fallen ones) and made men (Adamu-slave ) to serve them instead. At first the Anunakis created all men (male) and decided to finish them off after their gold mining is done because they would not procreate as there were no women. Enki secretly created women. When the Anunakis returned after several hundred thousand years, they found that humans have increased in population. The Anunakis then decided to teach men to live in a right way. However, the Igigi, angry with the Anunaki for banishing them, decided to corrupt mankind to thwart the Anunakis creation by taking for themselves women as wives and taught men all the arts that was forbidden by the Anunakis. And hence Giants Nephillim were born on the earth (Book of Enoch- and they taught men the cutting of the roots(DNA)) And men became corrupt in all his ways. The Anunakis decided to wipe out mankind by bringing about the floods. However, once again Enki secretly told Noah to build an ark and save themselves and mankind once again.

History = The story of the light vs the dark. Pottery found 3 billion years old in south Africa. Their story starts 33,000bc. To try to wipe out the light. The Epic of Gilgamesh ALL the deadsea scrolls Dungeons and dragons or lord of the rings. The bible, Quran, Torat. The talmud of babylon 500ad. Sauron the shapeshifter (lord of the dark) Saruman ( sargon the great 24th century bc and the orcs) (Anu and enki, the annunaki, their son nabu and his son molech, the babylonian akkadian empire 1097bc) Baphomet (molech moloch or marduk) Adam and lilith his first wife, then it was eve. Moses al nasi, kish or kush of sudan, with lots of gold. In leviticus and exodus. "Stop worshiping molech, stop eating the children". Worship a calf, like the calfs heads buried in the royal tombs of mount elephantine. Mount elephantine and Sinai, banished by the Egyptians also known as the mighty olmecs of good. The ebi nari hebrew banished and crossed the river to Saudi Arabia (also dark royal bloodline) and moses son evidence found in Yemen. King Solomon the famous demonologist and the founder of freemasonry, with books such as lesser key of Solomon, the grand grimoire and codex gigas the devil's bible found on the Vatican. The book, the testament of king Solomon. Alexander the great, greek, his relative Cleopatra, all worship the same deities, but not the real pure peoples of the levant of ugarit and the very ancient Turks. ......... The bloodline royal Atlantian, (the house of atlantis in bremen, studying the arian race, Hitler's favourite) annunaki, akkadian, babylonian, hel lenistic, ptolemy, roman, judahism, Christian, askenatzi, zion. Jesuit, judahist, greek frankist, Latins, sabines romans. Funny hebrew was so insignificant that the later versions of the old testament were written in coptic, Greek with Egyptian. Why? Because original true jews are Syrians of the ugarit as documented in Egyptian texts, a dialectic of ancient aramaic, aramaic, Egyptian, sanskrit, Arabic. Mary magi and the holy grail. Like James, Jesus brother. The anicent aramaic, born northern galiliee, modern lebanon, nazarene. Yes, he was an essene. Glamorise the dark, because in reality it is weak.

[@nothereyetlost]

No I don’t think you get it. Supreme beings CANNOT be killed. This is only a temporary victory and they are coming back. Especially TIAMAT. Notice when absu was killed they didn’t bother with his CORPSE. Bc he was REALY dead, likely bc he was NOT a supreme being. But look at the ENORMOUS time Mardoch took with TIAMAT. “Don’t let her water run” he says. I theorize that to mean no matter where you put her she will eventually reconstitute and their ONLY goal was to make it take as LONNNNGG as possible. and that’s likely why the world hasn’t know a female goddess in forever except for in mythology. It’s also likely that she’s coming back bc all the lesser gods are ALL dead bc they weren’t supreme and while they may live long and seem immortal, and THEY are really NOT. And if they are dead, they likely aren’t around to keep her BOUND, hence the coming back. Have you heard any such thing? That the real goddess has awakened and coming back? I’ve heard it in many circles now. And I think if it’s true (I don’t really know if it’s true or not), men are doomed.

Learning so many things, becoming the intelligent and wise teacher who shared and cared for the pet humans who desired know. Building a boat to explore the world. I actually labeled the character the "watcher". Later I found found Eric Van Danakin's books and felt that somehow I had known that ancient story as if I was involved, participating, observing it all,first hand. The only time I allowed for a past life session I was a planet like jupiter and remembered that life till my star died I desentegrated

[@Sinsteel]

Great episode, I've read this but it's much better heard spoken aloud in my opinion, likely it was meant to be read aloud. Surely this was originally about Enlil or possibly Ninurta, considering frequent use of storm-god powers and also the bow. Also, Enlil is chief god in earlier traditions I think, so Marduk would have directly taken over that spot in the narrative when it became Babylonian, presumably.

[@dreamscapesflstudiomobilec3396]

Anu was the chief of the gods, enlil and enki are the sons of Anu, Enki is Satan of the Bible and Enlil is God, but the story is backwards, Enki wanted to enlighten mankind but Enlil wanted mankind dead, its funny how the roles were reversed by the pedophile elites and catholic churches. Enki is the father of mankind and was bound under the earth for giving mankind intellect and then telling us of the plans to flood earth, Enlil is the true Evil of this story

[@nbenefiel]

Our true origin is that 13.8 billion years ago the Big Bang took place, creating the universe.Our planet, , Earth is about 5 billion years ago microbes appear on this planet around 4.5 years ago.I ma not going to cover the entire history of evolution but will pickup again with the appearance of hominids around 7 million years ago. We have multiple fossils of these people. The earliest were ape like creatures resembling but nowhere near modern Apes or humans. Early humans, genus Homo first appeared around 2 million years ago, in Africa.we have a lot of fossils of early Homo, these beings began to move out of Africa, spreading through Much of Asia and Europe. Their skeletons indicate that they were upright bipedal with relatively small brains. There were many kinds of early humans. We probably know the most about Neanderthals who inhabited cold Europe for hundreds of thousands of years.They hunted, controlled fire, made tools, created art, ritually buried their dead and appeared to have cared for their injured. Homo Sapiens Sapiens first appeared, again in Africa, around 600,000 years ago, long before Sumer was even dreamt of. There were no Annanaki. Human beings were not created by aliens from the planet. Nibiru. The Hubbell telescope has been exploring our galaxy for close to 34 years now, sending incredible images back to earth. As it passed through our solar system, it sent pictures of our solar system, including Neptune, no Nibiru. The ancient Mesopotamians believed the earth was a flat circle with a firmament over us in the sky, full of holes to let the rain in. They believed the sun revolved around the earth. They were not stupid people. They did what they could to explain the world around them but they were thousands of years away from scientific knowledge. I don’t mean to be rude or anything, but believing that humans were created by aliens from another planet is bizarre and totally flies in the face of the last 600 years of scientific discovery.

[@nbenefiel]

Humans evolved over a period of many millions of years. There’s a reason all modern humans, except for sub Saharan Africans have Neanderthal DNS. the appearance of Homo Sapiens on this planet predates the Sumerians by a few million years.

As I am listening to this, I am struck by how often phrases are repeated. This makes for odd reading and sounds strange to be read aloud but makes perfect sense as the chorus of a song. I wonder if these epic "poems" were actually meant to be sung instead of slowly read aloud. We know what some of their musical instruments were like. I would like it if somebody set these words to music made by traditional Sumerian instruments. Or maybe even an acapella singing of the poem. That would be neat.

[@johnlockett1565]

Good video. Extremely well read. It help us to try to understand the mystery of this tale and what really mean. Although the language is unknown to us the translation of the written symbols, now called cuneiform were translated thanks to the effort of very few men like Rawlings and Smith, especially Smith for being so brave to called it: The Tale of Creation, in a way challenging the tales of the Torah and of the Bible. These two religion have taken among themselves to tell the world that these tales they have put together were the words of God. Nothing further from the truth the Cuneiform tell of Creation and all the other cuneiform tells are the originals and probably the only real tales. But today we call them Myths and insinuating that they are tales product of some imagination, when we are prepared to accept the story of the Torah as real and the word of God, when the Torah story is nothing but a copy of the original tale, but you heard in thee comments that they are two different stories. In one of this cuneiform stories is the actual description of ENKI, second God in command of the Anunnakis, creating, in conjunction with other Gods, the Humans or Earthly beings. But we cannot accept that as real too much for us. Although todays knowledge give us Earthlings the capacity to create life or close to it. The Jews came across all these tales when they were in exile i Babylon VII S. BC

[@joshuamartins1863]

We are fortunately able to understand the language much more than most realize. We have a Rosetta Stone so to speak for the Sumerian Cuneiform language and understanding it properly and translate it as well. With contemporary Egyptian correspondances between rulers of the time. There was a cliff face in Persia with Acadian, Ancient Persian and Modern Arabic telling all the same story in cuneiform and so were able to translate the meaning from the Time of Assyria to maiden language like Arabic or Hebrew which are some Semitic derived languages long ago. So, we do have an appreciation of the Library found at Nineveh where the majority of this comes from here in this tablet’s contents.

[@johnlockett1565]

@@joshuamartins1863 Yes, in Kermanshah to BEHISTUN the inscription of Darius The Great have placed on the the cliff in 3 languages Cuneiform, Persian and other known language. My argument why do we take the Sumerian texts as legends, when we are now debating and accepting the fact the UFO do exist. And we don't believe the ANUNAKI story told in the Sumerian Texts. Now , even in Israel many archaeologists believe that the stories of the Torah are copies of stories or knowledge acquired by the Jews when in exile in Babylon

The cotext is that Enki has already killed Apsu and has established his kingdom in the body of Apsu himself, in another interpretation of the Thiamat translation is that it is a huge dragon that inhabits a large cavity inside the earth and not the earth itself, since Marduk would not eliminate half of the kingdom of his own father that he would inherit in any case (Reign over earth and heaven) so Thiamat represents the evil ego of the earth?

Actually, whenever discussing my beloved, exceedingly brutal, Assyrians, I should refrain from suggesting that I would be willing to give any body part to get hold of something that used to belong to them...

Marduk, as per the Lost Book of Enki, became primal God because after they set off the weapons of war (the atom bomb) it's spread of destruction stopped just before it hit the land Marduk was given. The Annunaki proclaimed him The Head God because of this. The weapons of war destroyed all land but Marduks.

Marduk proclaimed himself creator of all. Which was a lie. He just wanted everyone to worship him above all other Annunaki gods and tried to push all others aside.

I'm very grateful for the translation, sharing, and reading of the Enuma Elish. I've come to discover an issue... In 2334 bce Sargon with yhwh's help as zababa overthrew the Sumerian/Babylonian pantheon and improlissoned or killed all the the Sumerian/Babylonian deities and claimed their names and worshippers as his own. The Enuma Elish was written at least 1000 years later. It is so patriarchy heavy and so gushy and because it's written with each city's main deity as the savior, it's shows itself to be propaganda to create new worshippers for an imposter.
