Are you talking about the thing that looks like a big bug standing upright? I wondered what that was. Also, the thing in the sky I thought looked like a table with the three beings sitting at it. I'm wondering what the symbol between the standing figures is. Does anyone know what these symbols mean? There was some English guy in the 1800's who was able to interpret Sumerian. I can't remember his name to try to find this on my own.
augonit this is a treasure of a site ... had posted about it on the old Town Hall. It's where I got the story of the ark - actually two stories. The translator said the Chaldean tablets refer back to a time immemorial many thousands of years before that, in which there was a flood.
