Irving Finkel

Irving Finkel is a British Assyriologist, author, and curator at the British Museum who is one of the world's leading experts on ancient Mesopotamian civilisation. He can read cuneiform script and has spent decades deciphering clay tablets thousands of years old. The Ark Before Noah reveals his extraordinary discovery of a Babylonian tablet describing a round ark, predating the Biblical story of Noah, and what it tells us about the origins of one of humanity's oldest legends. His audiobook and book is fascinating, eye-opening listening and reading for anyone interested in ancient history, archaeology, and the deep roots of the stories we still tell.
