Hi /his/ friends I have a super longshot question for you - is anyone capable of translating Assyrian cuneiform? Specifically, I would like to see translated tablets 30-40 of the Enuma Anu Enlil- the first recorded example on an almanac of celestial omen interpretation, from the 2nd millenium BCE. Scholars have translated about half of the available tablets but stopped at tablet 29. I really want to read 30 through 40. Please reply if you can even think of someone you can point me to to talk to about this! I'm about to start emailing scholars I find online to get this haha

We have multiple complete translations of EAE, including ones from Sumer itself. Why do you want a third hand copy translated when you have the original?
yeah brah i took assyrian cuneiform 101 at community college gimme a min, if the most eminent scholars in the field cant do it, im sure a random 4chan anon can
Do it yourself faggot.
All the shits online, I started with the materials for an Akkadian dictionary or something. Its three volumes. But got sidetracked by middle Egyptian.
How do you think you'll be able to understand these omens without speaking the language and thus culture they were designed for.
Spend the next month learning this shit, get some plasticine or clay and some reeds or triangular stemmed plants. And then make a thread warning us of the Jewish reptilian invasion a few thousand years too late.

Because I'm too ignorant to know that lol can you hit me with a link to a complete translation? I'll buy one if I have to. I googled it cursorily and was under the impression that only parts of it had been translated

You work about trolling assholes on 4chan and I'll worry about how to interpret the omens anon
Ok so this says less than half of the English translations have been published - what do you mean when you say it has been translated entirely- do you mean in an unpublished capacity?
