The Chaldean Account of Genesis by British Assyriologist, translator and engraver George Smith was originally published in 1896 Smith was renowned for being the first to discover and translate the Epic of Gilgamesh. Self-taught in cuneiform in the corridors of the British Museum. Eventually he was hired by Sir Henry Rawlinson, prominent archaeologist. Smith achieved world-wide attention when he discovered an account of the flood with obvious Biblical parallels in 1872, related in The Chaldean Account of the Deluge. This book expands on the previous work, and presents numerous translations of tablets, including the first print appearance of the Gilgamesh (Idzubar) cycle. Some of the most important texts, such as the Descent of Ishtar and the account of the Flood are fairly intact, while others are in pieces.
