At the beginning of the HarmonyOS system, the sky, the earth and human beings did not exist. There was chaos in Gankun, and only a few gods were in it. The two oldest gods revered by later generations as "Apsu" and "Tiamat" didn't even have names at that time. He can't tell the difference between himself and the outside world, and his fate has not yet been determined. This is what the world looked like at first.
As time went on, the world began to change. One of the changes is that Uppsala and Tiamat got married, which may be the most special wedding in history: Uppsala is a large area of fresh water, while Tiamat is a large area of salt water. The way they combine them is to mix them together, just like we mix milk and coffee today. This excitement is brewing a new life.
The twins Ram and Lahham first came into this world. The two children have grown up, big and strong, and they can see at a glance that they are not ordinary children. Then the powerful Ansar and the beautiful Kishwar were born. They were taller than their brothers. Soon, the brother and sister got married. The crystallization of their marriage is the famous Tianshi and the father of all gods, Anu. However, this is another story.
In a word, the old gods worked hard to have children, and finally made the deserted world lively. But contradictions also arise: the new generation of gods are all teenagers' restless problems, and they have too much energy left to avoid making trouble. Such a big Gankun was stirred up, even the great mother Tiamat was harassed. In the end, Uppsala had enough. He called his wife and a trusted minister named Jiang Mumu together and held a secret meeting to discuss the feasibility of killing his children.
Upsu feels that only by completely eliminating those young players can he keep his ears quiet. However, Tiamat loathe to give up. A mother is a mother after all. With tears in her eyes, she advised her husband, "Since we want to destroy them, why do we have to work so hard to bring them out?" ? Their behavior is really irritating, but we should treat it calmly. "This is not unreasonable. It's a pity that Uppsala was furious at that time and couldn't listen to anything. In addition, Jiang Mumu is fanning the flames, and a deadly plan for children is finalized on the spot.
There is no windtight wall. Things were soon known to the younger generation.
Newborn calves are full of emotions, saying that they should never sit still and wait for death. When discussing the specific plan of winning first, the water god and the wisdom god Aea showed their talents to the gods. Egypt wisely analyzed the balance of power and thought that Upusu could not defeat the enemy, but could only outsmart him. So when Uppsala was slack, he read a sweet word, secretly injected his sleep into Uppsala's body, made him fall asleep, and then easily cut off his head.
I can't believe that victory came so easily. The next thing is like a breeze. The young god soon conquered Jiang Mumu, Uppsala's partner, and seized the power to rule the world from the old god. Now they hope that the wind is the wind and the rain is the rain. Even Apsu's body, the original god, was taken away to make full use of it-AEA built a beautiful new house.
Since then, "Apsu" has become the name of the holy land. Babylonians will tell you that Aea and his wife Damme kina have settled in Apsu. The greatest god of Babylon, the son of Aea-Marduk, who enjoys 50 titles in later generations, is about to be born there. ...
Second, the revenge of the Great Mother God
Upsu's death greatly changed Tiamat's temperament. She was originally made of water, but now she has become an ugly seven-headed snake, utterly confused and running around day and night. The once loving mother was hurt by the flames of hatred and revenge. And those old gods who lost their original interests kept fanning the flames behind their backs.
What did you do, Tiamat? They babbled, "My husband died tragically, but my wife was indifferent ... What kind of wife are you ..."
Their tears and saliva poured on Tiamat's heart like oil, making it burn more and more brightly. Finally, Tiamat defected.
The vengeful mother god managed the old army and built eleven snakes and demons to strengthen the army. She promoted a monster named Jingu from the earlier gods, promised him her life, and gave him the supreme book of fate, making him the commander-in-chief of the revenge division. The rebels were aggressive and went straight to the New Deal for the younger generation. Aea was the first god to know the danger. He immediately presented Ansar, who had no choice but to send Egypt to surrender. Poor Aiya was scared off by her men before she got close to Lord Tiamat. The only gain was that she was impressed by the hostility of the rebels.
When dark clouds enveloped the city, Ansar summoned the gods and asked who could conquer the rebels. The gods were silent.
Who would take such a thankless thing Tiamat is the mother of all living things. Who can survive her anger? The gods are whispering in their bellies.
At this time, a young god came out from the silent majority. The gods turned their eyes to him. I saw his noble appearance and extraordinary bearing. He has four eyes and four ears. When he opened his mouth, a flame came out of generate between his lips and teeth, but it was Marduk, the son of Aea. He said to Ansar, "Please send me."
Marduk was born in the holy land of Apsu, and he has dual powers. His wise father Aea once called him to the temple and said, "My son, you must listen to me. Go to Ansar and give yourself up. You are a talented person who leads troops to fight. When he sees you, his anxious heart will calm down. " Marduk was ready to move, and with his father's encouragement, he couldn't help it. At this moment, he volunteered and promised Ansar that he would put Tiamat's neck on the soles of his feet, so that the gods could rest easy.
However, he has one condition, that is, Ansar must hold a meeting of the gods, give him status and glory beyond the gods, and let the whole world know.
"I fight for you, conquer Tiamat for you and save your life. So I will decide my fate through my own mouth, not yours. " Marduk said, "My orders will not change! What I said should become a reality! "
As far as the situation was concerned, there was really no better choice, so Ansar had to promise him. He sent his minister Gaga to meet Rahm, Rahm and other celestial gods, and invited them to * * * business activities, so as to give Marduk heavy power.
It seems that the great gods bound by fate have just learned the news of the mutiny in Tiamat and expressed their incomprehension and regret. One by one, they came to Ansar's territory, kissed and greeted each other in the chamber, and used this time to ponder the wording in the future. Although a bonfire has been lit at the front line, this does not prevent Ansar from holding a large banquet to entertain the noble gods. When the wine is hot, the gods forget their fears. They sang and hugged Marduk to the throne.
You are the most glorious warrior among the gods! -Those big shots shouted at Marduk.-Your position is unparalleled! You give orders like an anu! Your words have supreme authority! You obey the ups and downs of honor and disgrace! Our lives are in your hands ... the sweet words of the gods are as straight as the sky. Marduk performed an interesting trick. He murmured with open arms, and the star screen disappeared in front of the gods in an instant; After he changed a spell, the star screen reappeared. The play brought the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.
In this way, Marduk, who was in danger, initially established his position and conquered Tiamat with all kinds of magic weapons endowed by the gods. His chariot is a magnificent storm, driven by four magical horses: destruction, ruthlessness, trampling and galloping. They roared through the enemy lines and let Marduk go all the way into the rebel camp-Tiamat's territory.
At this time, Marduk was magnificent. He spits out the treasures of the gods and holds all kinds of poisonous herbs. His armor shines on him, brighter than ten suns. At the sight of him, Tiamat's minions were dizzy, weak and unable to resist. Even Tiamat had to rely on spells to barely control his trembling. Marduk saw their weakness at a glance. "Stop supporting this rebellion with your lips." Marduk shouted to Tiamat. He accused the great mother god of being proud, violent and restless, and was not qualified to be a mother in the world, and declared that her divine power had gone away. Finally, he challenged her and asked her if she had the courage to fight against him alone.
Tiamat was angered by Marduk, went on the rampage, lost his mind, and finally died without suspense in this duel-Marduk covered her with a huge net woven by the wind, which made her stuck and blew the wind into her roaring mouth, making her body swell like a balloon. Then an arrow through the heart immediately ended everything. Marduk, as he said before, put his feet on the neck of the body of the great mother God.
An aggressive rebellion fell apart in an instant. Without Tiamat, the rebels are just a bunch of thugs. They fled in a hurry, but they couldn't escape the magnificent skynet laid by Duke Ma. Including Jingu, who was in command, became a prisoner.
Marduk found a book of destiny symbolizing the dominant position of the universe in the shrine. He sealed it with wax and hung it on his chest.
This is the best trophy. It created a great, brave and fearless Babylonian god Duke. From then on, every emperor of Liangjiang who wanted to publicize his authority (for example, in the preface of code of hammurabi, he indicated that he was legislated by destiny, and so on). ) Marduk's name must be quoted.
However, the main gods in the mythical communities in the two river basins seem to be not fixed. For example, Anu and enlil have all enjoyed the treatment of the Lord God. This may be related to the rise and fall of the status of the city-state-in the two river basins, many great gods have corresponding city-states, such as Marduk, the Babylonian god, and Egypt, the Elie DUZH god. When the status of a city-state rises, its patron saint will also receive corresponding attention.
