Is this the tablet where Enkidu talks about his cousin Gugwe in that far off land across the oceans where “the greatest people” will come from in the future?

Sequel is rarely as good as the original

Sumerians don’t have any original ideas anymore. They have to rehash old classics. Disney completely ruined the franchise.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Uh?....The “CE” after 2011 and April 9, 2003 is necessary? Really?
Seems to me that the author and editors have an anti-Christian bug up their noses.

While I was over in Iraq, I bought one of these relics. After I got home I sent it to a friend to do a translation. I did not expect much. Maybe if I was lucky it said something about events of that time. But instead I got a really cryptic message. Roughly translated it says "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine." Does anyone know what this means? Was Ovaltine a medicinal drink or maybe an alcoholic drink or maybe both.
The audience on Free Republic is so wide that maybe someone can help me out.

You will notice that the new tablet is rather small and has limited cuneiform writing on it. I called the director of the museum to see if it has been translated. His reply said that the tablet shows new myths about the Gilgamesh saga, but it runs off the edge of the tablet:
And so Gilgamesh and Enkidu walked along the river, Enkidu asked. “Lord, did Shamat reveal to you any secrets?
And Gilgamesh said, “He revealed to me the secret of the Universe in a commandment. Eat more chee...”
