'Epic of Gilgamesh' ~ new chapter

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

The 'Epic of Gilgamesh' revised: 2,600-year-old clay tablet adds a new chapter to one of the first great works of literature and reveals 'Cacophonous Abode of Gods'


The new lines for the poem were discovered by accident when a the Sulaymaniyah Museum in Iraq struck a deal with a smuggler to purchase a set of 80 to 90 clay tablets.
