A vivid excerpt reads:
“The Euphrates is her river—established by wise lord Nudimmud—
It quenches the lea, saturates the canebrake,
Disgorges its waters into lagoon and sea…
Herds and flocks lie on verdant pastures, Wealth and splendor—what befit mankind—
Are bestowed, multiplied, and regally granted.”Even more revolutionary are the passages that describe the role of Babylonian women, specifically as priestesses
(nothing...?)
