The tablet, which contains a portion of the 'Epic of Gilgamesh,' came from the area of modern-day Iraq and was illegally shipped to the US in 2003, the Department of Justice alleged.“ https://nypost.com/2021/07/28/us-seizes-1-6m-epic-of-gilgamesh-tablet-from-hobby-lobby/amp/ https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/rare-cuneiform-tablet-bearing-portion-epic-gilgamesh-forfeited-united-states Edited August 22, 2021 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
