	enuma elish
		Enuma Elish may be considered as one of the oldest mystical poems that reached us from ancient times..
		In terms of the origin of life on earth Enuma Elish gave a much more scientifcally acceptable explanation of the creation and man than the theories proposed by organised religions.
		To solve this they turned from speculative philosophy and theology to Babylonian mythology of Enuma Elish, systematised in the Alexandrian Gnostic model of emanation called Pleroma, in which it is hypothesised that the universe and man were the creation of a lower god and not of the highest god.

		Enuma Elish was used in connection with the New Years celebrations.
		Its name comes from the two first words in the myth text, which can be translated as "then (enuma) up there (elish)".
		Enuma Elish is more than a cosmogonic myth (explaining the world's creation), it is also a teogonic myth (explaining the gods' creation).

	Leithart.com \| Homer and Enuma Elish
		In his 2004 Babylon, Memphis, Persepolis he analyzes the passage from the Iliad where Hera deceptively tells Zeus she is going to Oceanus, whom she calls "origin of the gods," and to Tethys, the "mother." The references are known from Hesiod, but this kind of cosmology is unparalleled in Homer.
		When the text of Enuma Elish became known to Eudemus, the pupil of Aristotle, he rendered the name as Tauthe.
		Burkert argues that this passage must have borrowed from the written text of the Enuma Elish: "Four hundred years of oral tradition in Greece would have led to strong distortions in the process of assimilation." As Martin West puts it, this passage is a "neo-oriental element" that founds its way into in Homer.

		The similarities and differences between Genesis 1 and the Enuma Elish are intriguing (see Heidel 1963).
		One of the most striking features of Genesis that the Enuma Elish helps bring to light is the struggle between order and chaos that lies just under the surface of the Genesis text.
		The comparison may help to explain the claims of Yahweh's kingship over creation in such places as Psalm 29 and Psalm 93, where he is pictured as sitting enthroned over the floods.

		Third, the biblical creation account is fundamentally different from other ancient creation myths, like the Babylonian Enuma Elish.
		As is so often the case, to actually read the other myths is to realize how very different the biblical account is. In fact, one of the main purposes of the Genesis account is (probably) to correct the erroneous creation myths of the ancient Near Eastern culture.
		The second thing we need to realize about Gen. 1 is that it harmonizes with origins science, but it is not a scientific textbook.
