A Comprehensive Guide to Babylonian Mythology

The myths that compose the ancient Babylonian Mythology are a result of the beliefs from several peoples that inhabited Babylonia and became part of the Babylonian Empire. In this video I make a summary of texts from the Old, Middle and Neo-Babylonian Periods. Here I talked about the Enuma Elish (The Epic of Creation), The Epic of Gilgamesh with its famous Flood Story and the myth of Nergal and Ereshkigal that describes a massive shift in power. As it could not be different, Marduk is the main character in this piece of media, as he was in the ancient city of Babylon. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.
