DescriptionThe Gilgamesh Dream tablet. From Iraq. Middle Babylonian Period, First Sealand Dynasty, 1732-1460 BCE. Iraq Museum, Baghdad.jpg
English: The Gilgamesh Dream tablet. From Iraq; precise provenance was not mentioned. Middle Babylonian Period, First Sealand Dynasty, 1732-1460 BCE. Looted from the Iraq Museum in 1991 (sometime in January to February of the Gulf War). Returned to Iraq in 2021 from Hobby Lobby's Museum of the Bible, Washington DC, USA (purchased by them in 2014 with 1.6 million USD). This Dream tablet recounts a part of the epic of Gilgamesh in which the hero (Gilgamesh) describes his dreams to his mother (the goddess Ninsun), who interprets them as announcing the arrival of a new friend, who will become his companion. This surviving fragment represents the left upper-hand part of what was once a six-column clay tablet (3 on either side). On display at the Neo-Babylonian Gallery of the Iraq Museum in Baghdad.
