Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sumerian Epic of Paradise, the Flood and the Fall of ManIn the autumn of 1912 the author copied, among about fifty others, a triangular fragment of a tablet in the Nippur collection in the Museum. This fragment, which had been numbered 4561, can be distinguished clearly in the right upper corner of the obverse and right lower corner of the reverse Of the restored tablet shown in Plates V and VI which Show the tablet in its natural size. The contents of this fragment were first mentioned by my colleague, professor sayce, at the June meeting of the Society of Biblical Archaeology in Lon don, at which our lamented friend, professor R. F. Harper, was present and contributed memorable remarks.1 An epit ome soon afterwards appeared in the London Times. Later the Museum authorities found other portions of this remark able text which obviously contains a Sumerian version of the Flood and the Fall of Man, antedating by at, least a thousand years the version in Hebrew. The photograph will Show how well the Museum authorities have succeeded. To my original fragment they have added one large fragment'and one small one which practically restores this large six column tablet. This edition has been made from my copy of the original frag ment and photographs of the later joins.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Early History of Heaven written by J. Edward Wright and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-03-28 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think of "heaven," we generally conjure up positive, blissful images. Heaven is, after all, where God is and where good people go after death to receive their reward. But how and why did Western cultures come to imagine the heavenly realm in such terms? Why is heaven usually thought to be "up there," far beyond the visible sky? And what is the source of the idea that the post mortem abode of the righteous is in this heavenly realm with God? Seeking to discover the roots of these familiar notions, this volume traces the backgrounds, origin, and development of early Jewish and Christian speculation about the heavenly realm -- where it is, what it looks like, and who its inhabitants are. Wright begins his study with an examination of the beliefs of ancient Israel's neighbors Egypt and Mesopotamia, reconstructing the intellectual context in which the earliest biblical images of heaven arose. A detailed analysis of the Hebrew biblical texts themselves then reveals that the Israelites were deeply influenced by images drawn from the surrounding cultures. Wright goes on to examine Persian and Greco-Roman beliefs, thus setting the stage for his consideration of early Jewish and Christian images, which he shows to have been formed in the struggle to integrate traditional biblical imagery with the newer Hellenistic ideas about the cosmos. In a final chapter Wright offers a brief survey of how later Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions envisioned the heavenly realms. Accessible to a wide range of readers, this provocative book will interest anyone who is curious about the origins of this extraordinarily pervasive and influential idea.
