Today is a special day, not only because we make a return to Shintoism, but also because we are going to examine one of the most popular thunder deities in world mythology. ...And something else was supposed to happen today... Probably nothing of consequence to anyone here though.

Ok, so I'm finally back! Well... sorta. This video has been on the back-burner for far too long and I've kept you all waiting for an inexcusable amount of time. Hopefully, if I can, I'll be able to get something out to you guys in a far more reasonable time span. Anyhow, some notes. Yes, there are multiple different tellings of this creation story. It's basically shared between the Babylonians, the Sumerians, the Akkadians and a whole bunch of other early peoples. I hope to expand on some of the finer details if and when I get around to making a Sumerian creation story video. I am also familiar that Uggae is more commonly referred to as Nergal, however, that's just who I read Kingu was sent to after his defeat at the hands of Marduk, and also that is a much more humorous name for a death god. You make it to Hell, try to introduce yourself, and the guy meeting you at the gate just holds out a hand and proclaims. "U ggae". Absolutely hysterical. Yes, before anyone asks, Tiamut is the inspiration behind the biblical leviathan. In fact, Sumerian and Babylonian mythology influences a lot of Judean stories, including (as I not-at-all subtly hinted at) the great flood story, which has been recycled by so many mythologies it's hard to keep track over them all. One final thing I'd like to note, for sources, we're going bare-bones this time, because in an effort to stray off confusion fro myself upon reading up on this creation story, I ONLY read the Enuma Elish. So here it is, a pdf copy of one such translation. https://genius.com/Translated-by-ea-speiser-enuma-elish-the-epic-of-creation-annotated Now for my links Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/messiahsandmythology Discord: https://discord.gg/pcRkS2 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M68owYobso

This is the worst video I have ever made... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shEEaY3rbnQ

Yes, I am sick. Maybe even dying. Oh well, here's more Bible for you since that's what we do here now. Please refrain from asking questions until the end of each chapter. I can't usually keep track of chat while reading.
