Wer baute die babylonische Arche? Ein neues Fragment der mesopotamischen Sintfluterzählung aus Assur

A new fragment of the Mesopotamian flood narrative, part of the Epic of Gilgamesh, has been discovered at Ashur (Qal'at Sherqat). This clay tablet, along with another, provides previously unknown details about the ancient Babylonian account of the great deluge. The findings shed light on the cultural and historical significance of the flood story in Mesopotamian civilization, offering insights into its composition and transmission. The research focuses on two tablets unearthed at Assur, which are believed to be part of a series of twelve dedicated to the Epic of Gilgamesh.
