The story of the Babylonian chief god Marduk is detailed in the Enumah Elish, an epic poem recorded probably circa 1100 b. c. which was about six hundred years after Hammurabi the Amorite brought the worship of that god (Canaan’s son Amor deified) east from the land of Canaan and probably built the ziggurat Enemenaki dedicated to Marduk at Babylon, the word Marduk from Amar-Utu in Akkadian (Assyrian) meaning immortal son of the sun, joining Canaan’s son Sin as gods in ancient Mesopotamia.
