Marduk defeats Quingu and kills Tiamat by shooting her with an arrow which splits her in two from her eyes flow the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Once differentiated, the union of these two entities gave birth to the younger gods.Įa, Enki, and the younger gods fight against Tiamat futilely until, from among them, emerges the champion Marduk who swears he will defeat Tiamat. Out of this swirl, the waters divided into sweet, fresh water, known as the god Apsu, and salty bitter water, the goddess Tiamat. In the beginning, there was only undifferentiated water swirling in chaos. The story, one of the oldest, if not the oldest in the world, concerns the birth of the gods and the creation of the universe and human beings. Even so, Ea does still play an important part in the Babylonian version of the Enuma Elish by creating human beings. Marduk, the god of Babylon, only figures as prominently as he does in the story because most of the copies found are from Babylonian scribes. The god of each city was always considered the best and most powerful. The copy found at Ashur has the god Ashur in the main role as was the custom of the cities of Mesopotamia. The Sex Pistols had enjoyed playing away from London because it was an opportunity to play away from their manager Malcolm McLaren and his group of associates.As Marduk, the champion of the young gods in their war against Tiamat, is of Babylonian origin, the Sumerian Ea/ Enki or Enlil is thought to have played the major role in the original version of the story.

Though "Holidays" intro is C, B, A, G and played with fifth or power chords, the "In the City" intro is Gsus, G, D, G and played with major chords the similarity is rhythmic but generally superficial. "Holidays in the Sun", released six months after the Jam's "In the City", took its descending introductory chord pattern from the latter. The communists looked in on the circus atmosphere of West Berlin, which never went to sleep, and that would be their impression of the West." I loved the wall and the insanity of the place. Berlin and its decadence was a good idea. The best thing we could do was to go set up in a prison camp somewhere else. There was hatred and constant threat of violence. Said John Lydon, "Being in London at the time made us feel like we were trapped in a prison camp environment. Although they described the city as "raining and depressing", they were relieved to get away from London. They threw us out." That trip was followed by a couple of weeks spent in Berlin. The song was inspired by a trip to the Channel Island of Jersey: "We tried our holiday in the sun in the isle of Jersey and that didn't work.
