About this book
Baked clay tablets from the palace of Ashurbanipal at Nineveh carry the Babylonian account of creation, and this short work by E. A. Wallis Budge tells how they were found and pieced together. Layard, Rassam and George Smith dug them up between 1848 and 1876, and Smith's reading of the broken fragments showed resemblances to early chapters of Genesis. The British Museum ordered a full edition in 1898 from L. W. King. The title also names the fight between Bel and the Dragon.
