Saggs. DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 192 pages. Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press; 1995) ISBN: 0806127651. Babylon stands with Athens and Rome as a cultural ancestor of western civilization. It was founded by the people of ancient Mesopotamia. Who settled in the fertile crescent between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers before the fourth millennium B.C. Some of the earliest experiments in agriculture and irrigation, the invention of writing, the birth of mathematics and the development of urban life all began there. Biblical associations are also numerous, from Nineveh to the Tower of Babel and the Flood. In"Babylonians" H. W. F. Saggs describes the ebb and flow in the successive fortunes of the Sumerians, Akkadians, Amorites, and Babylonians who flourished in this region. Using evidence from pottery, cuneiform tablets, cylinder seals, early architecture and metallurgy, he illuminates the myths, religion, languages, trade, politics, and warfare, as well as the legacy, of the Babylonians and their predecessors. During the twentieth century. Collaboration by archaeologists from many nations has greatly increased the range of archaeological evidence, while work by linguists has gradually unlocked the secrets of the thousands of clay tablets recovered from the area. Today the historical record for some periods of ancient Mesopotamia is substantially better than for some centuries of Europe in the Christian era. Gaps and uncertainties remain, but Babylonians conveys a rich and fascinating picture of the development of this remarkable civilization from before the beginning of the third millennium B.C.

The tablet relates how the Sumerian ... moregod Enlil attempts to destroy humanity by means of a watery deluge. The clamour and pride of humanity proves too much for Enlil. Who decides to put an end to it. The lesser gods and goddesses lament this calamitous decision and the crafty earth god Enki takes it upon himself to reveal the coming disaster to a ruler named Ziusudra whom he instructs to build a boat to save"the seed of humanity" along with a selection of animals. And thus Ziusudra survives to tell the tale: All the destructive winds and gales were present, The storm swept over the capitals. After the storm had swept the country for seven days and seven nights. And the destructive wind had rocked the huge boat in the high water, The Sun came out. Illuminating the earth and the sky. Ziusudra made an opening in the huge boat, And the Sun with its rays entered the huge boat. The king Ziusudra Prostrated himself before the sun god; The king slaughtered a large number of bulls and sheep. Ziusudra saves humanity and in return is given the gift of immortality and settled in far-off Dilmun. No longer a Biblical myth.

Babylonian Assyrian Cuneiform Tablet Museum Reproduction

I'm calling this a reproduction, most of which are done by museums. This tablet measures approx. 6 1/4 inches by 3 7/8 inches. Please see the photos for the condition. I'm not if this is damaged. Or made that way to accurately copy an existing tablet in its current condition. You decide. I guarantee everything that I sell. I do combine items for shipping. And you save the money on postage. Please ask for a combined invoice. Both animals can be shipped for the price of one. Free shipping on the second if you get them both! If you have any questions. Please ask. Thank you.
