Error in description edit

The plate number, and potentially the interpretation are wrong

Plate is 5 (V)

See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chaos_Monster_and_Sun_God.png#Summary for details

Alternative attribution of portayal is of Marduk and Tiamat eg https://archive.org/stream/egypt03maspuoft#page/n28/mode/1up

The interpretation of the monster as Tiamat is obviously erroneous because Tiamat is female, but the monster in this relief clearly has a penis. Please consult Talk:Tiamat#Let's not repeat an old, obvious error about what Tiamat looked like for further details. --Katolophyromai (talk) 17:33, 21 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
