Iraq puts looted Gilgamesh Dream Tablet on display

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The 3,500-year-old Gilgamesh Dream Tablet has gone on display in Iraq for the first time in three decades.

The clay artefact bears part of the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the world's oldest surviving works of literature.

It was looted from an Iraqi museum during the 1991 Gulf War and smuggled through many countries before ending up at Washington DC's Museum of the Bible.

US authorities seized the tablet in 2019 and handed it over to the Iraqi embassy in September.

reasons????

2. Hmm that museum would maybe want it to gather dust After being translated

it caused widespread controversy due to similarities between portions of it & the Hebrew Bible. 🙀
