Reading up on Sumerian mythology at work... and found the following info:
The Abyss or the Void mentioned in Genesis 1:2 has, in the original Hebrew has a close etymological link with Tiamat.
What the… I knew they borrowed stuff from other Mesopotamian mythologies, but that is getting interesting. I knew about the Epic of Gilgamesh having inspired the Flood story, but this is… wow.
Okay, can someone exorcise Ray Stantz from my brain, now? I need to work.
