Enuma Elish Foundation

When on high the heaven had not been named, Firm ground below had not been called by name, Naught but primordial Apsu, their begetter and Tiamat, who's bore them all. Their waters commingling as a single body; No reed hut had been matted; no marsh land had appeared. I will knead the blood and make bones. I will create a kind creature, 'man and woman' will be. They will have to be at the service of others, so that they live carefully.
