Beschreibung

A compelling investigation of one of the most famous myths in the world, that of the great flood and Noah's Ark, and how the rediscovery of an ancient tablet challenges our view of ancient history in a new and exciting way. A Channel 4 TV documentary is in production. 'Finkel's account is wryly and entertainingly told.' Tom Holland, "The Guardian"

Portrait

Dr Irving Finkel is Assistant Keeper of Ancient Mesopotamian (i.e. Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian) script, languages and cultures Department: Middle East at the British Museum, headquartered in London's Bloomsbury. He is the curator in charge of cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia, of which the Middle East Department has the largest collection - some 130,000 pieces - of any modern museum. This work involves reading and translating all sorts of inscriptions, sometimes working on ancient archives to identify manuscripts that belong together, or even join to one another.
