What this shows
Tablet XI of the Campbell Thompson 1928 rendering carries the deluge narrative: the storm sent by the gods, the land swept for six days and a se'nnight, the stilling of the sea and the grounding on Nisir. The quotation is extracted verbatim from the ingested text.
What this does not prove
- Does not prove any direction of dependence between this flood narrative and those of other traditions.
- Does not prove Thompson's line numbering matches other editions' lineation.
