Several deities appear to have been

the former rebelled against the gods
IN consequence. The chief struggle
was between him and Ea, whose SON.
Bel, created the world.
Man was made by Marmuk, who, in
spite of the difference in name. may
have been identical with Bel. The
creation OF man was the eliminating
event Of the history.
Marmuk told Ea that he intended to
perform this task and asked his father
10 behead him. Man was to be male

muk appears to have survived decapi-
