History of Egypt, Chaldæa, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria, Volume 3 (of 12) History of Egypt, Chaldea, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria, Volume 3 (of 12) Produced by David Widger "History of Egypt, Chaldæa, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria, Volume 3 (of 12)" by G. Maspero is a historical account presumably written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into the ancient civilizations of Chaldæa and the significant myths, inhabitants, cities, and dynasties that shaped their history. It presents a detailed exploration of creation myths and the foundational beliefs that characterized early human civilizations in these regions. The opening of the book elaborates on the mythological origins of the universe, specifically focusing on the primordial creation from chaos involving gods such as Apsu and Tiâmat. It describes their offspring, including key deities like Marduk, who is chosen by the gods to combat Tiâmat and restore order. The narrative conveys the epic struggle and eventual victory, intertwining mythological elements with the cultural history of the Chaldæan civilization. It establishes a backdrop for understanding how these legends influenced the social and religious structures of ancient Mesopotamia, particularly in the context of their creation myths and their depictions of gods and monsters.
