Irving Finkel | The Ark Before Noah: A Great Adventure
The Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures
Irving Finkel of the British Museum tells how a 4,000-year-old cuneiform tablet came to him for examination. It revealed the oldest known account of Noah's Ark and led to a book and a documentary.
HN recommends it as a funny, fascinating talk on cuneiform tablets and the ancient world by an engaging curator.
