The ˁAin Samiya goblet, an 8 cm tall silver goblet from the Intermediate Bronze Age (2650–1950 BCE), was discovered in the tomb of a high-ranking individual in the Judean Hills. Its unique decoration features two mythological scenes involving chimeras, snakes, and celestial symbols. This study challenges the prevailing interpretation linking these scenes to Enuma Elish. By comparing the goblet’s iconographic elements with known motifs from neighboring cultures, we propose that the goblet’s decoration represents the creation and maintenance of cosmic order, a recurring theme in ancient Near Eastern cosmology. The scenes depict a transition from chaos to a structured universe, protected from chaotic disturbances by deities. There is a particular focus on the birth of the sun deity and its subsequent journey through the cosmos, which in the context of the tomb may serve to facilitate the rebirth of the soul of the dead. Our interpretation is supported by another cosmological depiction that has not been published until now: the Lidar Höyük prism.
