Enūma Eliš is a Babylonian creation myth that is one of the key texts in the ancient Mesopotamian literature. It is written in Akkadian, a Semitic language, and the title translates to "When on High," which are the opening words of the poem. The text dates back to the 12th century BCE, although its origins likely go back even further.
