The Anuma-Allish - The Only Deity to Take Down a Giant Sea Monster

The Anuma-Allish is a sort of creation narrative for monotheism itself. It describes the slow turn in ancient near-eastern religion from worshipping nature deities to revere distant super-sensory gods that exist beyond the material world. Marduk was the principal god of Babylon and the deity for whom Etonemanonki, or the tower of Babel, was built. Like Zeus and Yahweh, Marduk fought primordial forces and imposed a patriarchal order on the cosmos.
