Cast of the Flood Tablet 19th century, after 7th century BCE original This object is a modern version of the so-called Flood Tablet, a cuneiform-inscribed clay tablet which is an account of the deluge featured in the Epic of Gilgamesh. It was not cast from an ancient tablet but rather from a nineteenth-century interpretation based on multiple ancient fragments. Assyriologist Paul Haupt made the modern tablet in clay, basing its size and shape on an example held in the British Museum and reconstructed from several fragments (K.2252 + K.2602 + K.3321 + K.4486 + Sm1881).
