Though it seems, well, an epoch ago now, it's been less than seven months since we discussed The Epic of Gilgamesh in Andrew George's translation. Who knew then that ancient text would be back in the news, and just down the street from where I live and move and have my being, at the Museum of the Bible? A tip of the hat to Ernie Raskauskas for sharing the following article detailing Hobby Lobby's role in donating some cuneiform tablets to the museum that turned out to be of dubious provenance.
And as a bonus track, the Washington Post's wit, Alexandra Petri, just devoted a column to that news. Enjoy!
