Actually in the original Enuma Elish Tiamat was a planetary body that would become the Earth after a celestial collision.

Yes, I am in error. The prior pole star was Thuban (α Draconis), not Tiamat. I am making more and more errors in memory recall. Normally I would not be concerned but with astronomy, I have studied for 55 years and confusing Thuban is frightful.
