Its earliest surviving fragments date back to the eighteenth century BC, more than 3,700 years ago. In The Buried Book, David Damrosch tells the story of George Smith, a self-taught linguist, who one momentous afternoon in 1872 was working at the British Museum, going through a pile of Layard's clay tablets, when he suddenly realized that he was reading about "a flood, storm, a ship caught on a mountain, and a bird sent out in search of dry land." Daring adventurers, fearless explorers, ancient kings, gods, and goddesses come to life in this riveting story of the first great epic and its rediscovery in the nineteenth century. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 630 00 Gilgamesh. 650 0 Assyriology|xHistory. 650 0 Audiobooks. 700 1 Hughes, William,|d1937- 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12395026?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781982414382_180.jpeg
