The patron deity of
Babylon, Marduk's ascent
parallels the transition of Babylon from a peripheral
Mespotamian
city-state
to the center of an expansive and sophisticated empire. The Babylonian's
reverence of Marduk bordered on the maniacal and developed into the first
documented system of monotheism in the ancient world, a process inextricably
linked to the evolution of
uni-camerality. The Prophecy of Marduk, a purported
vaticinium et eventu
text
dating from around 700BC, outlines Babylon's brutal fall
2
to the
Elamites and its subsequent emancipation under the leadership of a Great King
later revealed to be
Nebuchadnezzar II
3. The prophecy's narrative is told through the personification of the Statue of Marduk, a precious idol captured and reclaimed multiple times in the millennium leading up to the arrival of the Christ.
1 The Tower of Babel can then be thought of as the "tipping point" of bicameral integration.
2 "People's corpses block the gates. Brother eats brother. Friend strikes friend with a mace. Free citizens stretch out their hands to the poor to beg. The sceptre grows short. Evil lies across the land. Usurpers weaken the country. Lions block the road. Dogs go mad and bite people. Whoever they bite does not live, he dies."
3 Throughout the centuries, scholars have questioned the validity of the Murduk Prophecy, with many assigning authorship to Nebuchadnezzar himself. However, Cambridge University's D.J. Wiseman claimed in 1975 that the Prophecy was valid and essentially self-actualizing and that it was composed by bi-cameral priests in the House of The Exorcist channeling the voice of God prior to 1100 BCE.
