Hi there your fella writing a blog post, as you can see, most of my images are mythology-themed related, and so was my NC "lostland" profile. One day i was listening a black metal band that has this song called "Enuma Elish", so i decided to make a collection of images about Enuma Elish. Enuma Elish is the name of Mesopotamian ancient book/text, one of the most ancient text in history, is a epic poem who relate the creation of the world, similar to most creation myths, relates how the world was created, deities were born and humanity was created. The text was written in 2 lines verses, with the second line having the role of emphasize the first line via opposition. "When on high the heaven had not been named, Firm ground below had not been called by name," Just thinking that people on 2nd millenium BCE were doing poetry just shut my head. Here are my images collection, its on Pinterest, i guess you dont need to have an account on it to watch https://pin.it/1H6BWzxu9 One of the challenges i have on this was the visual depiction of every character/deity here, unlike some other mythologies, there is no much visual depictions of this myth and deities, so it needed a lot of imagination and interpretation to get to that visual result images. I hope you like it Greetings, JC

Fun fact: In the Fate universe [anime], "Enuma Elish" is the ultimate, planet-destroying Noble Phantasm used by the Archer-class Servant, [King] Gilgamesh. It has one of the coolest ear-shattering sound effects I have ever heard😎

Fair enough. I think you can add up to 30 images in a Blog Post. And not everybody will go to Pinterest. And they are great images to share. Even if not yet the complete set.
