I vaguely recall having to learn about Gilgamesh in a college lit class.

Was Gilgamesh in the original Akkadian language part of your kid’s homeschooling?

Yes, the DOJ wants to return the Epic of Gilgamesh tablet to the Middle East so Islamics can smash it to pieces, as they do with all cultural artifacts.

It’s Gold Star wearing times for Christians in America. Hobby Lobby did absolutely nothing wrong, and yet...

“Law enforcement seized the tablet from the museum in 2019.”
So why is it being announced as if it just happened? Am I reading something incorrectly?

I wonder who drew the picture for the DOJ? They are so incompetent there is no way they were able to pursue this by themselves.

The correct version is the one you can bet your eternal soul on.

... shows the department's dedication to using all available tools, including forfeiture, to ensure justice. The Department of Justice? What is that? Lately, blinders to all the injustice inflicted on the populace, might as well be disbanded under the Biden regime.

Precursor to the ancient myths incorporated into Genesis.Corrupted legend of the accurate account in Genesis. At least the portion regarding Utnapishtim (the Mesopotamia Noah). Yes, there was a global flood - but the ark wasn't built in the shape of a cube (the Gilgamesh account), but was constructed per the Genesis account.
The other stuff regarding the exploits of Gilgamesh and his hairy bud (apparently a close relative to Bigfoot), who knows? I.e., any truth in it, or just a tale told after a bad acid hit?

If Democrat St. Jimmy Carter had spent the $1.6 million on it for his presidential library, the DOJ would have no interest. The bloated big government sees Hobby Lobby as an enemy and uses the full apparatus of the deep state to investigate and punish them. The left wants permanent one-party authoritarian rule like the CCP in China, and to outlaw Christianity as a domestic threat to communist rule.

Lovely. So now the US government will turn over one of the oldest literary manuscripts in ancient history to a barbarian culture that burns all such artifacts. Brilliant tactics for a Marxist demogoguery. Evil action by a formerly Christian nation.

Or the plainer story in Genesis was the real story and the Gilgamesh story was a more dressed up version that was derived from the legends of obscure peoples who dwelt in Mesopotamia.(Obscure in the sense that Noah and his story were kept alive in the tribal traditions that Abraham would have been taught from). Abraham then passed down the true story to his family.
You see no one bothers to ask that question...how did the AKkadians come up with the story of Gilgamesh? Everyone thinks that genesis was a copy.
