Mesopotamian Flood Story (Atrahasis), Tablets I and II

Описание: Hear some ancient ASMR, this time the story of the Mesopotamian flood - complete with a Noah figure, and three birds! The Mesopotamian flood narrative is a great story, with strong connections to the flood narrative in the book of Genesis. This narration is a composite of two versions of the story (cuneiform tablets get broken, so we use other copies of the same text to fill in the gap!), using Benjamin Foster's translations from 'Before the Muses' - https://amzn.to/35p3a6d

The pauses in the narration indicate breaks in the tablets :)
