This method made tablets both durable and fragile: baked clay doesn’t rot, but it does crack and shatter, as happened to the Flood Tablet significant parts of its left-hand and lower margins are missing, as is a thin triangular chunk of the upper right corner. Cuneiform means “wedge-shaped” the script on such tablets was made by pressing the triangular end of a small stylus-typically a trimmed river reed-into prepared wet clay, which was then baked to harden it. There are almost no gaps between the symbols, nor are there punctuation marks or paragraphs.
The cuneiform script is tiny, and crammed tightly to all four edges of the tablet. It is surprisingly small: around six inches tall, five inches wide, and one and a quarter inches deep. The “Flood Tablet,” as it’s often called, is now on permanent display in the British Museum. His discovery stoked the heated Victorian debates over the age and origins of the Old Testament. Smith’s ecstasies in 1872 were triggered by his realization that the tablet he was translating recounted a version of the Flood myth that significantly predated the Book of Genesis. His talent for ancient languages was spotted by British Museum staff, and-against the social grain of the day-he was in due course appointed as an assistant in the Assyriology department, tasked with sorting and decoding the thousands of tablets and tablet fragments in the museum’s holdings. Smith was a young working-class Londoner who had taught himself to read cuneiform during his lunch hours while employed as an engraver at a printing firm in the 1860s. “That” was a baked-clay tablet on which was inscribed in dense cuneiform script the eleventh section of the Epic of Gilgamesh, a long poem now recognized as one of the earliest written works of world literature.
