[QUOTE="Hans Blaster, post: 75563063, member: 396028"] That's why I said "found". If I recall the story correctly (and it's in the first 10-15 minutes of the talk): He was working at the British Museum and serving a shift as the "receiving officer" (or what ever the title was), the person who deals with people who enter the museum with an object and ask "is this anything". While doing that duty, someone handed him a nearly intact cuneiform tablet with the story on it. He could have looked for decades in the collections or digs for such an object and someone just walks in and hands it to him. Amazing. (I watched a whole bunch of OI talks at the beginning of the year. Very fascinating.) [/QUOTE]
