EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient history - a Cuneiform tablet with the Gilgamesh Flood Epic. Dating back to the 17th century BC, this Babylonian treasure was discovered in Southern Iraq and is now housed in the prestigious British Museum. Cuneiform writing, one of the earliest known systems of writing, adorns this tablet, serving as a testament to an advanced civilization that thrived thousands of years ago. The epic tale depicted on this tablet revolves around Gilgamesh, a legendary figure in Mesopotamian literature. The tablet's significance lies not only in its age but also in its content. It narrates an extraordinary flood story that predates even the biblical account of Noah's Ark by centuries. This ancient narrative sheds light on how different civilizations across time and space have grappled with similar themes such as survival and divine intervention. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a distant era when storytelling played a crucial role in shaping human culture and understanding our place within it. It serves as a reminder that communication through written language has always been at the core of our shared humanity. This image invites us to appreciate both the beauty of cuneiform script and the power of literature to transcend time, connecting us with our ancestors who lived so long ago yet left behind enduring legacies for future generations to discover and cherish.
