'''Babylonian religion''' is the religious practice of [[Babylonia]]. Babylonian mythology was greatly influenced by their [[Sumerian mythology|Sumerian]] counterparts, and was written on clay tablets inscribed with the cuneiform script derived from Sumerian [[cuneiform]]. The myths were usually either written in Sumerian or [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]]. Some Babylonian texts were translations into Akkadian from the [[Sumerian language]] of earlier texts, although the names of some deities were changed in Babylonian texts.
Many of the stories of the [[Tanakh]] are believed to have been based on, influenced by, or inspired by the legendary mythological past of the Near East.<ref>{{cite web |first= |last= |authorlink= |author=Morris Jastrow Jr., et al |title=Babylon |url=http://jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=51&letter=B&search=Babylon |work= |publisher=Jewish Encyclopedia|display-authors=etal}}</ref>
