Kingu, also spelled Qingu, meaning unskilled laborer, was a god in Babylonian mythology, and - after the murder of his father - the consort of the goddess
Tiamat, his mother, who wanted to establish him as ruler and leader of all gods before she was slain by
Marduk, whose counterpart in roman Mythology was later Mars. Tiamat gave Kingu the 3
Tablets of Destiny, which he wore as a breastplate and which gave him great power, and put him in charge of Tiamat's army. Eventually, he was killed by Anu, some sources name Marduk, to prevent his rise, and his blood was used to create mankind. Kingu's pivotal role in the Babylonian creation myth is described in
Enûma Elish.
