Publisher's Summary
One day in 1872, self-taught Assyriologist George Smith was sifting through a pile of clay tablets when he realized he was reading about "a flood, storm, a ship caught on a mountain, and a bird sent out in search of dry land". This is the riveting story of the discovery of the world's first literary epic, the "Epic of Gilgamesh".

Very informative
This was great. Well researched and presented beautifully. I like that people who played such a big role in its recovery were restored as the original finder.
