Measures were preserved in temples (and in medieval churches), both because thereby they would be protected as holy and because it was felt that ... study of ancient measures for the purpose of reestablishing the coherence of the units that had been shaken by medieval practice; he prefaced it with a motto that equates measures to religion: Una fides, pondus, mensura sit idem, Et status illaesus totius orbis erit.

This belief, a central element in all Mesopotamian writings, rituals, and religions, was especially expressed in the form of a long epic poem publicly read at the climax of the annual New Year Festival. The tale (or information) related ... the New Year's Akutu festival.3 Though Heidel4 recognized the epic as "the principal source of our knowledge of Mesopotamian cosmology," he viewed the text as principally a religious-political work composed to glorify the god Marduk and his cult-center at Babylon.
