Confirms Biblical Account.

The missing half of tablet of
Nippur describing the fall of man and
the flood has been discovered in the
university museum of the University
Of Pennsylvania. Some weeks ago
the translation of the first half of the
tablet by Doctor Langdon, the reader
in Assyriology at Oxford, was an
nounced. 1t confirmed in surprising
detail the biblical account of the fall
and the food, but was incomplete.
A search was at once made and a
copy of the inscription on the sec
ond half has been sent to Doctor
Langdon for translation. The tablet
is pre-Semitic account of these oc-
currences, and comes from the early
library of Nippur, which was de-
stroyed during the invasion of Baby
Ion by the Elamites. in the time of
Abraham. Adams eating of the fruit
is described by Doctor Langdon. 1t
is hoped that Ewes part in the fall
will be told in the newly discovered
fragment.
