The Dark Ritual of the Akitu Festival: Was Babylon’s King Truly in Control? The Akitu festival was no ordinary New Year’s celebration—it was a ritual of power, submission, and eerie symbolism. The Babylonian king, ruler of a vast empire, was publicly humiliated, stripped of his power, and slapped by the high priest of Marduk. But this was no punishment. It was a test.

If the king’s tears flowed, Marduk was pleased. If not… was the god angry? Would famine, war, or death follow? Was this a rite of purification, or something far darker—a contract binding rulers to forces beyond human comprehension? And if kings had to submit to hidden masters… who truly ruled Babylon?
