Book Description
Excerpt from Sumerian Epic of Paradise, the Flood and the Fall of Man In the autumn of 1912 the author copied, among about fifty others, a triangular fragment of a tablet in the Nippur collection in the Museum. This fragment, which had been numbered 4561, can be distinguished clearly in the right upper corner of the obverse and right lower corner of the reverse Of the restored tablet shown in Plates V and VI which Show the tablet in its natural size. The contents of this fragment were first mentioned by my colleague, professor sayce, at the June meeting of the Society of Biblical Archaeology in Lon don, at which our lamented friend, professor R. F. Harper, was present and contributed memorable remarks.1 An epit ome soon afterwards appeared in the London Times. Later the Museum authorities found other portions of this remark able text which obviously contains a Sumerian version of the Flood and the Fall of Man, antedating by at, least a thousand years the version in Hebrew. The photograph will Show how well the Museum authorities have succeeded. To my original fragment they have added one large fragment'and one small one which practically restores this large six column tablet. This edition has been made from my copy of the original frag ment and photographs of the later joins. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This book contains Ramachandra Dikshitar’s 1930 study of the Tamils, “Origin and Spread of the Tamils”. Tamil people are a Dravidian ethnic group who speak Tamil as their mother tongue. Numbering around 77 million people that live in many different countries, the Tamils are one of the of the biggest and oldest ethno-linguistic cultural groups that exist without their own state. This fascinating and insightful study is highly recommended for those with an interest in the Tamil people, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Vishnampet R. Ramachandra Dikshitar (1896 - 1953), was a historian, Indologist and Dravidologist from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. He was a professor of history and archaeology in the University of Madras and authored multiple text books on Indian history. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
