This is what stood out to me in the Enuma Elish
Ummu-Hubur [Tiamat] who formed all things,
Made in addition weapons invincible; she spawned monster-serpents,
Sharp of tooth, and merciless of fang;
With poison, instead of blood, she filled their bodies.
Fierce monster-vipers she clothed with terror,
With splendor she decked them, she made them of lofty stature.
Whoever beheld them, terror overcame him,
Their bodies reared up and none could withstand their attack.
She set up vipers and dragons, and the monster Lahamu,
And hurricanes, and raging hounds, and scorpion-men,
And mighty tempests, and fish-men, and rams;
They bore cruel weapons, without fear of the fight.
Her commands were mighty, none could resist them;
After this fashion, huge of stature, she made eleven [kinds of] monsters.



Yes well my thoughts are all over the place - I could not contain them if I tried lol My gut instincts tell me the snake is primordial - that is
why I was focusing on the fish symbology - along the same lines as evolution. I have always wondered how the material universe evolved and from what
??? For me primordial is similar to the Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime ( great oceans of images - visions alot like our subconscious mind ) extremely
powerful - the snake can transcend ( many realms / dimensions ) I think the snake can take on many forms - it can be dark or light - it is older
than time itself - I think it is the unknown - invisible elements that hold and bind all dimensions and spheres of existence together. But don't ask
me to prove it I cant lol
) but lets just call it my external source of information lol have
always incorporated elements of these two symbols ( the snake and in my case the eagle ) therefore I think the correlation is Archetypical.
