Most Dangerous Weapons In Mythology

The most important deity to the ancient city of Babylon was its patron god, Marduk. According to the World History Encyclopedia, Marduk had a very eclectic divine resume — he was responsible for justice, healing, and compassion and was also a storm and agricultural god. Indeed, Marduk defeated Tiamat, the incarnation of chaos, to bring order to the universe and create heaven and earth and co-create humanity.

It is in his battle with Tiamat that Marduk uses a weapon named Imhullu, which means "evil wind," per "Bel and the Dragon." The weapon is not like any other since its power comes from the use of the elements themselves. Using a net gifted to him by his father Anu, Marduk trapped Tiamat. And then, when the monster opened her mouth to devour him, the Imhullu flowed in, forcing it open. Tiamat's belly distended from another wind that Marduk sent upon her, and the god shot an arrow into it, killing her.
