Babylonian Genisis

What is the Babylonian GenisisAnswered by: JamesAnswer: The Babylonian Genesis is basically the Babylonian creation myth otherwise known as EnumaElis. It has similarities to the creation account of the Biblical Genesis and was recorded in written form in Sanskrit hundreds of years before the Hebrew account. Nevertheless the Jewish history was an oral account long before it was written down and most likely the Babylonian people created their version from that which they took from the true account spoken of by the Hebrew people as both lived in the same region and the Babylonians would have been familiar with their culture and history.
