Creation of Universe according to Mesopotamian Religion & Mythology

In this video, we explore the ancient Mesopotamian perspective on the creation of the universe, diving into one of humanity’s oldest recorded myths. Mesopotamian mythology, particularly the Babylonian Enuma Elish, reveals a world born from chaos, where powerful deities shaped the cosmos through conflict and divine intervention.

At the beginning, there was only a vast, primordial water represented by Apsu (freshwater) and Tiamat (saltwater), the first gods of creation. Through their union, younger gods were born, and tensions soon arose, leading to an epic cosmic battle. Marduk, a powerful god of the younger generation, eventually faced Tiamat in a fierce struggle and, after defeating her, used her divided body to create the heavens and the earth. With his victory, Marduk established order in the universe, structuring the heavens, setting the stars, and creating humanity to serve the gods.

Join us as we uncover the profound themes of chaos, order, and creation in Mesopotamian mythology. This video brings to life the ancient beliefs that shaped the spiritual worldview of the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. Discover how this myth not only reflects the forces of nature but also reveals a deep connection between humankind and the divine order of the universe.
