Primeval Flood Catastrophe - Chen, Y. S. (Research Fellow in Ancient Near Eastern Studies, Wolfson College, University of Oxford)

Against the long-standing and prevalent belief that Mesopotamian Flood traditions came from very early time in Mesopotamian cultural history, this book argues that the traditions emerged relatively late in Sumerian traditions. Through a systematic examination of the relevant cuneiform sources Y. S. Chen charts the evolution of the Flood traditions.
