A hard-to-get text concerning Marduk (Nibiru), of Assyrian origin. We know that some Assyrian versions of the Enuma Elish have Ashur instead of Marduk as the protagonist. Here, Ashur is the protagonist, and Ishtar (Inanna) of Nineveh is explained as Tiamat. The Assyrians regarded Ashur as another name for Anshar, Tiamat‘s grandson, thus closer to Tiamat and worthier of worship than Marduk.
H. Zimmern saw in the text an account of death and resurrection of Marduk (Lishtar´s Note: which took actually place during the Akitu, or New Year´s Festival). Von Soden, another scholar, pointed out that the events in the text were to be associated with the destruction of Babylon in 689 B.C., and the deportation of the statue or symbol of Marduk to Assyria.
