In an easy narrative style, he recounts the discovery of the Enuma Elish and providing a brief summary of its contents.
He makes a comparison of this cosmology with those of Genesis, demonstrating the interconnectedness of the ancient world of western Asia.
Engaging and informative, Rogers' narrative is accessible to the specialist and general reader alike.
