The primeval flood catastrophe : origins and early development in Mesopotamian traditions

Y. S. Chen (Author)
Against the long-standing and prevalent belief that Mesopotamian Flood traditions came from very early time in Mesopotamian cultural history, this book argues that the traditions emerged relatively late in Sumerian traditions. Through a systematic examination of the relevant cuneiform sources Y.S. Chen charts the evolution of the Flood traditions
