The Babylonian creation epic — the Enuma Elish — was carved on 7 clay tablets and predates the Bible by more than 600 years, with stunning parallels to Genesis. Akkadian and its later Babylonian and Assyrian dialects gave humanity its first great literature, including the Epic of Gilgamesh — the oldest surviving epic poem in the world. The pantheon they built on top of Sumerian foundations went on to shape biblical, classical, and even modern horror imagination.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll cover the Enuma Elish, Marduk's slaying of Tiamat, the Epic of Gilgamesh, the great triad of Anu, Enlil, and Ea, the goddess Ishtar, the underworld goddess Ereshkigal, the storm god Adad, the demon Pazuzu, the Atrahasis flood epic, the Mušḫuššu dragon of the Ishtar Gate, Hammurabi's Code, and cuneiform writing.
Marduk is the chief god of Babylon, son of Ea (god of wisdom). In the Enuma Elish creation epic, he slays the primordial chaos-dragon Tiamat, splits her body into the heavens and the earth, and is granted kingship of the gods and 50 names of power.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest surviving great work of literature, originating in Sumerian poems around 2100 BCE and standardized in Akkadian on 12 tablets around 1200 BCE. It follows King Gilgamesh of Uruk, his friendship with Enkidu, and his failed quest for immortality.
Tiamat is the primordial saltwater goddess of chaos in Babylonian myth. After the gods kill her partner Apsu, she spawns 11 monsters and chooses Kingu as her champion. Marduk slays her with an arrow and splits her body in half to form the heavens and earth.
