Enki vs Enlil – The Evil Wind

In ancient Mesopotamian texts, we find not only descriptions of weapons of mass destruction but also their actual use. And of course, what has become known as the Great Calamity was the result of the rivalry between the brothers Enki and Enlil that had began millennia earlier. But, during this particular conflict it was Enki’s son Marduk who played the most pivotal role. The fateful event is described in a variety of ancient texts from which the What and How, the Why and Who can be construed, reconstructed, and put in context. Those ancient sources include the Hebrew Bible, for the first Hebrew Patriarch, Abraham, was an eyewitness to the awesome calamity.
