The Ancient East

This is a short work on the single topic of Babylonian lore, specifically with regards to its conceptions of the afterlife, judgment, and related topics.Thorough in scope despite a short length, it speaks of legends involving Marduk, Nergal, and other deities from the Sumerian-Babylonian background. Much of it is from the then-incomplete lore of antiquity itself, but some inference and secondary work is present also.
