Mesopotamian Tablet on Marduk

Here, a Babylonian scholar speculates on how powerful, independent Mesopotamian gods can be seen as aspects of the god Marduk. It is interesting to reflect that a similar idea characterized the religion of the incoming Judaeans. From Babylon, Southern Mesopotamia, Iraq. Neo-Babylonian Period, reign of Nebuchadnezzar II, 605-562 BCE. (The British Museum, London)
