A. Wallis (Ernest Alfred Wallis), Sir 1857 1934 Budge, Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis, Sir Budge, Ernest Alfred Wallis, Sir Budge, Sir Ernest Alfred Wallis The Babylonian Story of the Deluge as Told by Assyrian Tablets from Nineveh The Discovery of the Tablets at Nineveh by Layard, Rassam and Smith Produced by Jeroen Hellingman "The Babylonian Story of the Deluge as Told by Assyrian Tablets from Nineveh" by E. A. Wallis Budge is a historical account published in the early 20th century. This book explores the ancient Mesopotamian narrative of the Great Flood, drawing on the Assyrian tablets discovered at Nineveh, particularly during the excavations conducted by A. H. Layard and others. The likely topic revolves around the relationship between ancient mythology and historical events, particularly focusing on the parallels between the Babylonian flood stories and other cultural narratives, such as the Biblical account of Noah. The book begins with the historical context of the discovery of the Assyrian tablets, including detailed accounts of the excavations and the significance of the library of Ashur-bani-pal. Budge elucidates the narrative of the Deluge as found in the Epic of Gilgamish, where the protagonist learns of the Flood from Uta-Napishtim, who was granted immortality by the gods. The tale explores the themes of divine judgment, the preservation of life through the building of an enormous ship, and the eventual pain of loss and the burdens of mortality. It emphasizes the enduring nature of these myths and their importance in the cultural consciousness of ancient civilizations, offering readers insight into the rich philosophical and theological discussions they provoke.
