The Chaldean Account of Genesis
Book • 1880
The Chaldean Account of Genesis, first published in 1876 by George Smith, explores ancient Babylonian cuneiform tablets that describe creation, the fall of man, the deluge, the tower of Babel, and other stories also found in the biblical Book of Genesis.
Smith's work revealed remarkable parallels between these ancient Mesopotamian myths and biblical accounts, providing alternative perspectives on early religious narratives.
The book includes translations and interpretations of these tablets, shedding light on Babylonian mythology and history.
It was both controversial and influential, with later editions incorporating corrections and additional material reflecting advances in Assyriology.
