Marduk - Babylonian - In Babylonian myths, Tiamat (linked to Omoroca) is a huge, bloated female dragon that personifies the salthingyer ocean, the water of Chaos. She is also the primordial mother of all that exists, including the gods themselves. Her consort is Apsu, the personification of the freshwater abyss that lies beneath the Earth. Ea killed Apsu and Tiamat flew into a rage when she learned about Apsu's death and wanted to avenge her husband. Eventually, Tiamat was defeated by the young god Marduk, who was born in the deep freshwater sea. Marduk - Babylonian - There is a strong possible link from Belus to the Goa'uld Marduk, because of the Babylonian God Bel-Marduk. Marduk was discovered within a ziggurat, buried alive in his sarcophagus with an alien flesh-eating creature. (Thor's Hammer, Fire And Water, The Tomb)
