The Babylonian Legends of the Creation by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge examines the ancient Mesopotamian accounts of how the world and humanity came into being. Drawing from cuneiform tablets and early inscriptions, Budge presents translations and commentary on creation myths that shaped Babylonian religious thought and cosmology. The book explores themes of divine order, chaos, and the relationship between gods and humans, offering valuable insight into the spiritual and intellectual foundations of ancient Mesopotamian civilization. These legends are also placed in broader historical and cultural context, highlighting their influence on later mythological and religious traditions of the ancient Near East. This work is an important resource for readers interested in ancient history, comparative mythology, religious studies, and the literature of early civilizations.
