Babylonian Creation Myth vs Memphite Creation Myth

A short while ago, we studied the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian creation myth. This week, we read the Memphite Creation myth and are looking at some of the other main creation myths of Egypt.

What similarities do you see? What differences? What similarities/differences between the Babylonian culture and the Egyptian culture might the differences in the myths be attributed to?

Write at least two paragraphs, of at least five sentences each. In the first paragraph, set out the similarities/differences you've noticed. In the second paragraph, analyze them, and attribute them to cultural differences.

If you quote or paraphrase from a source, use an informal citation (title, author, page or website) in parentheses.
