In what ways does this short Assyrian account of creation resemble one of the following origin stories in religion or fiction: the Zoroastrian Cosmogony of the Persians, the Judeo-Christian version of the origins of Angels and Demons, or the creation myth of Iluvatar in Tolkien’sSilmarillion? Does this contradict the belief that the Assyrians were merely brutal conquerors (the “Hell’s Angels of the Ancient Near East)?
