 In gratitude for their relief from toil, the gods established Babylon as the sacred center, the earthly reflection of the celestial order. Humanity’s labors — irrigation, agriculture, construction — were seen as extensions of divine creativity. To work the land was to reenact the divine crafting of the world from Tiamat’s body. In this theology, every act of cultivation and craftsmanship became sacred, linking daily life with mythic origins.
