Cuneiform records made some three thousand years ago are the basis for this essay on the ideas of death and the afterlife and the story of the flood which were current among the ancient peoples of the Tigro-Euphrates Valley. Following up on his previous volume, The Babylonian Genesis, the author interprets the famous Gilgamesh epic and other related Babylonian and Assyrian documents.
