What are you going to do now, now that you're done waiting?

Cave art is unironically patrician.

Discuss how great the myth of Inanna and the Huluppu tree is with my fellow patricians, of course.

Nisroch >>> Thoth

>He didn't start with the Nothing

Truer words have never been spoken.

exactly, but 14 year old me was too edgy to pass it up, and it caused me to start with the mesopotamians when I got bored of larping

Does anyone here actually like Mesopotamian stuff? Because I do.

how accurate are the translations tho?

I'll get back to you as soon as I'll be able to read the originals, so give me like 10 more years.

>The Lord ...... clouds of dust. In his battle he smote the Mountains with a cudgel. The Car-ur made the storm-wind rise to heaven, scattering the people; like ...... it tore. Its venom alone destroyed the townspeople. The destructive mace set fire to the Mountains, the murderous weapon smashed skulls with its painful teeth, the club which tears out entrails gnashed its teeth.

>The bull that eats up the black soup, the astral holy bull-calf (i.e. the moon), came to watch over him. He shines (?) in the heavens like the morning star, he spreads bright light in the night. Suen, who is greeted as the new moon, father Nanna, gives the direction for the rising Utu. The glorious lord whom the crown befits, Suen, the beloved son of Enlil, the god (1 ms. has instead: the lord) reached the zenith splendidly. His brilliance like holy Cara (1 ms. has instead: Utu) (1 ms. has instead: like lapis lazuli), his starry radiance illuminated for him the mountain cave.

>Enki cried out: "By the life's breath of heaven I adjure you. Lie down for me in the marsh, that would be joyous."
