Marduk, the Paramount Deity

The Anuma-Allish tells the story of Marduk's battle against Tiamat. The younger gods declared Marduk the Paramount deity and gave him an arsenal of weapons. In a brief fight, Marduk used his net, his mace, and then his mighty bow on Tiamat to weaken and then kill her. After chopping her to pieces, he slaughtered her general and neutralized her demons before hanging up half her carcass to serve as the heavens. To cap off his victory, Mardu built a grand temple called Ashara. But this temple wasn't his final construction project; He told the gods he would build his own personal home called Babylon.
