Not only is this poorly placed, but it has no relevance to the article. I believe Wikipedia discourages trivia. Can someone else confirm and remove this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.59.43.134 (talk) 10:22, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm in a history of religion class, and we went over the Enuma Elish and Marduk's rise as the "main god" - our teacher has stated that the Enuma Elish appeared with Nebuchadnezzar I not Hammurabi.  The textbook seems to support this.  I'm going to look for sources soon, (right now I'm too busy to do more than comment), but can anyone else clear this up? -- Stillnotelf 04:09, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This was a theory presented by W. G. Lambert but there is no incontrovertible evidence for a specific date. Other historians have suggested a late Kassite origin or in the period between the end of their rule and that of Nabû-kudurrī-uṣur I. It is an allegory for the rise to supremacy of Marduk in the pantheon and the precise period when this happened is still disputed. A neutral position would be to outline the alternative positions historians have taken. BigEars42 (talk) 00:15, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

message: What are they? Rich  Farmbrough 08:04 18  May 2006 (UTC).
that Marduk has 50 names is all wrong. For example, presume 50 names of Venus, there is a difference between a Taurus Venus and a Leo Venus but it does not mean Venus is Leo or Venus is Taurus. The same with this calf-sun or Taurus sun, not all Marduks are Taurus. The duk or docking with the sun is a mound a temple, a location, and this article presumes the only Marduk is with Utu (the sun). You can take any english word and letter-by-letter claim each letter a word to make a whole sentence but that doesnt mean the word is an acronym much less any acronym someone wishes to claim. That is what is pathetic about this specific medium that you cannot mention by name, which does the same wicked tactics as Facebook. Demons dwell here, and that is why people no longer come first to here. Even if they make their little financial deals with Googe to put them first on every page list. Wikipedia will end up in court like Mark Suckaburger. 75.86.75.191 (talk) 08:02, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

message: This is written in a very unclear manner and, frankly, gives me a headache. I'd clean it up, but don't know enough about the subject.   I don't know enough, for example, to tell how much of this is factual. References are needed for this information. I'd like to remove the part about Marduk being a sun-god but, again, I don't have anything but my gut instinct that this is incorrect: primary source please T@nn 04:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

message: How can there be an article on Marduk that completely neglects his battle against the mother goddess/monster Tiamat? Every other resource I've seen on Marduk or Tiamat mentions them both. I'd make a section on the battle myself but I'm not an Enuma Elish or Mesopotamian mythology scholar, so I don't think I would have the proper references to cite.67.167.29.149 (talk) 19:08, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Isn't Marduk supposed to be an equivalent of Devil, Lucifer or Satan ? ; also if Zeus is Marduk, then there is an obvious problem with ancient Greek mythology. 69.157.239.212 (talk) 13:21, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not in the Babylonian mythology, where he prob. was a good hero-god. And for other mythologies: equating a certain god with a foreign god is not a modern fashion. It might have occurred that the Greeks themselves equated Zeus with Marduk, but if their logic failed, is not of any serious consequence today, since neither's existence is generally accepted. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 11:11, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The names sound similar, but that's it.  Marduk and Ishtar are from the ORIGINAL Babylonia - Sumeria - in around 1800 BC, which is a totally different empire than the Babylon of the Bablyonian  Captivity (which co-opted the name) almost 1300 years later.  Marduk and Ishtar were not gods of the Chaldean Empire OR of the Persian Empire that Esther takes place in AT ALL.  In addition, Mordechai and Esther are simply not deity figures - they are depicted as completely non-supernatural Jews.  What does Mordechai have in common with Marduk besides a similar sounding name?  What does Esther have in common with a fertility goddess?  Nothing.  
Not to mention the fact that the claim is unsourced, and yet claims to be "usual." Carlo (talk) 16:49, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The image at the top of this page is a beautiful relief carving and it is definitely Mesopotamian, but I do not think it is really supposed to represent Marduk. I saw a copy of the relief when I visited the Oriental Institute in Chicago about a year ago and the plaque under the relief stated that it was a depiction of a "winged genius"; the plaque never mentioned anything about Marduk. I have been looking around, but I cannot find any reliable sources that identify the image as a depiction of Marduk. Furthermore, the image bears an extremely strong resemblance to several images that are known to represent genii, such as the Neo-Assyrian cylinder seal at right. Unless someone else can offer a source stating that the image really is Marduk, I am going to remove it from this page. --Katolophyromai (talk) 19:22, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
