Sorry i could not give more details. I just compressed a super long story without trying to reveal much. Gotta be careful. And the purpose behind this example was to show anons there is a logical explanation to "weird" things.

what i'm writing is like a summary of a huge pile of information. I hope anons who are interested will verify everything i'm writing.

I didn't get this in a blink, it was a long road. And i'm trying to get it out in the shortest method possible.

There is more than one source that mentions about Beth Togarmah as being "habitants" of Armenia. More info and sources are coming. The info i'm putting via wikipedia can be found in any general encyclopedia. There are many research tunnels you can go in.This is very wide and big and it can rewrite the entire history of mankind.

Remember what Q team says about things being upside down or as looking into a mirror. What we were told as being truths are not that. Some stuff are very hard for the masses to accept. I'm against hidding the truth.

I’m sure a lot was written about this but has anyone gone backwards? From the way it looks to me, it seems the Industrial Revolution and the Renaissance were the first and second technological awakenings. So could it be: contact was made with these entities ever since the XVth century? Could these entities have inspired Leonardo da Vinci in drawing his air crafts? The Steam machines we saw in the Industrial revolution are considered by historian a big “break” from the older means of transport. Could these also have been inspired by those entities?

Recent discoveries = Lewis Carroll wrote “Alice through the Looking Glass” in 1871; meaning he, somehow, already knew about the existence of this “machine” that allows the user to take a look into future events. A “machine” mentioned by Qteam in drop 3585. In other words, it does exist, but has anyone ever wondered since WHEN this machine existed? Could it have existed and been used by bloodline families ever since the later part of the 1800?

The possibility is there anon. Makes one wonder what else is in those “projects”? This could be a very interesting rabbit hole to research anons. I wonder if someone went in there.

In my research from back then, I went next to the only place where I could do some reading and dig: All I could do back then was round up all the flood myths from all over the globe, and this is what I’m going to talk about next. I’m going to make a summary of the notables at the end of each section.

The most obvious flood myth is the Epic poem of Gilgamesh, from Mesopotamia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh

“Gilgamesh (𒄑𒂅𒈦, Gilgameš, originally Bilgamesh 𒄑𒉈𒂵𒈩)[a] was a probably historical king of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk, a major hero in ancient Mesopotamian mythology, and the protagonist of the Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem written in Akkadian during the late second millennium BC. He probably ruled sometime between 2800 and 2500 BC and was posthumously deified. He became a major figure in Sumerian legends during the Third Dynasty of Ur (c. 2112 – c. 2004 BC). Tales of Gilgamesh's legendary exploits are narrated in five surviving Sumerian poems. The earliest of these is probably Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld, in which Gilgamesh comes to the aid of the goddess Inanna and drives away the creatures infesting her huluppu tree. She gives him two unknown objects called a mikku and a pikku, which he loses. After Enkidu's death, his shade tells Gilgamesh about the bleak conditions in the Underworld. The poem Gilgamesh and Agga describes Gilgamesh's revolt against his overlord King Agga. Other Sumerian poems relate Gilgamesh's defeat of the ogre Huwawa and the Bull of Heaven and a fifth, poorly preserved one apparently describes his death and funeral.

In later Babylonian times, these stories began to be woven into a connected narrative. The standard Akkadian Epic of Gilgamesh was composed by a scribe named Sîn-lēqi-unninni, probably during the Middle Babylonian Period (c. 1600 – c. 1155 BC), based on much older source material. In the epic, Gilgamesh is a demigod of superhuman strength who befriends the wildman Enkidu. Together, they go on adventures, defeating Humbaba (the East Semitic name for Huwawa) and the Bull of Heaven, who, in the epic, is sent to attack them by Ishtar (the East Semitic equivalent of Inanna) after Gilgamesh rejects her offer for him to become her consort. After Enkidu dies of a disease sent as punishment from the gods, Gilgamesh becomes afraid of his own death, and visits the sage Utnapishtim, the survivor of the Great Flood, hoping to find immortality. Gilgamesh repeatedly fails the trials set before him and returns home to Uruk, realizing that immortality is beyond his reach.”

“Most classical historians agree that the Epic of Gilgamesh exerted substantial influence on both the Iliad and the Odyssey, two epic poems written in ancient Greek during the eighth century BC. The story of Gilgamesh's birth is described in a second-century AD anecdote from On the Nature of Animals by the Greek writer Aelian. Aelian relates that Gilgamesh's grandfather kept his mother under guard to prevent her from becoming pregnant, because he had been told by an oracle that his grandson would overthrow him. She became pregnant and the guards threw the child off a tower, but an eagle rescued him mid-fall and delivered him safely to an orchard, where he was raised by the gardener. The Epic of Gilgamesh was rediscovered in the Library of Ashurbanipal in 1849. After being translated in the early 1870s, it caused widespread controversy due to similarities between portions of it and the Hebrew Bible. Gilgamesh remained mostly obscure until the mid-twentieth century, but, since the late twentieth-century, he has become an increasingly prominent figure in modern culture.”

“Gilgamesh's first appearance in literature is probably in the Sumerian poem Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld.[19][12][20] The narrative begins with a huluppu tree—perhaps, according to the Sumerologist Samuel Noah Kramer, a willow,[21] growing on the banks of the river Euphrates.[21][12][22] The goddess Inanna moves the tree to her garden in Uruk with the intention to carve it into a throne once it is fully grown.[21][12][22] The tree grows and matures, but the serpent "who knows no charm," the Anzû-bird, and Lilitu, a Mesopotamian demon, all take up residence within the tree, causing Inanna to cry with sorrow.[21][12][22] Gilgamesh, who in this story is portrayed as Inanna's brother, comes along and slays the serpent, causing the Anzû-bird and Lilitu to flee.[23][12][22] Gilgamesh's companions chop down the tree and carve its wood into a bed and a throne, which they give to Inanna.[24][12][22] Inanna responds by fashioning a pikku and a mikku (probably a drum and drumsticks respectively, although the exact identifications are uncertain),[25][12] which she gives to Gilgamesh as a reward for his heroism.[26][12][22] Gilgamesh loses the pikku and mikku and asks who will retrieve them.[27] Enkidu descends to the Underworld to find them,[28] but disobeys the strict laws of the Underworld and is therefore required to remain there forever.[28] The remaining portion of the poem is a dialogue in which Gilgamesh asks the shade of Enkidu questions about the Underworld.”

>> Did anons notice the similarities with the SNAKE and APPLE TREE from the Old Testament? For those who blindly believe the Old Testament as written word to word, you better start reconsidering this.

“Gilgamesh and Agga describes Gilgamesh's successful revolt against his overlord Agga, the king of the city-state of Kish.[8][29] Gilgamesh and Huwawa describes how Gilgamesh and his servant Enkidu, aided by the help of fifty volunteers from Uruk, defeat the monster Huwawa, an ogre appointed by the god Enlil, the ruler of the gods, as the guardian of the Cedar Forest.”

>> Anons should take note of the Cedar Forest. There is one region in the Middle East with Cedars growing in it.

“The Epic of Gilgamesh, the most complete account of Gilgamesh's adventures, was composed in Akkadian during the Middle Babylonian Period (c. 1600 – c. 1155 BC) by a scribe named Sîn-lēqi-unninni.[8] The most complete surviving version of the Epic of Gilgamesh is recorded on a set of twelve clay tablets dating to the seventh century BC, found in the Library of Ashurbanipal in the Assyrian capital of Nineveh.[8][12][40] The epic survives only in a fragmentary form, with many pieces of it missing or damaged.[8][12][40] Some scholars and translators choose to supplement the missing parts of the epic with material from the earlier Sumerian poems or from other versions of the Epic of Gilgamesh found at other sites throughout the Near East.[8]

In the epic, Gilgamesh is introduced as "two thirds divine and one third mortal".[41] At the beginning of the poem, Gilgamesh is described as a brutal, oppressive ruler.[8][41] This is usually interpreted to mean either that he compels all his subjects to engage in forced labor[8] or that he sexually oppresses all his subjects.[8] As punishment for Gilgamesh's cruelty, the god Anu creates the wildman Enkidu.[42] After being tamed by a prostitute named Shamhat, Enkidu travels to Uruk to confront Gilgamesh.[37] In the second tablet, the two men wrestle and, although Gilgamesh wins the match in the end,[37] he is so impressed by his opponent's strength and tenacity that they become close friends.[37] In the earlier Sumerian texts, Enkidu is Gilgamesh's servant,[37] but, in the Epic of Gilgamesh, they are companions of equal standing.”

“In tablets III through IV, Gilgamesh and Enkidu travel to the Cedar Forest, which is guarded by Humbaba (the Akkadian name for Huwawa).[37] The heroes cross the seven mountains to the Cedar Forest, where they begin chopping down trees.[43] Confronted by Humbaba, Gilgamesh panics and prays to Shamash (the East Semitic name for Utu),[43] who blows eight winds in Humbaba's eyes, blinding him.[43] Humbaba begs for mercy, but the heroes decapitate him regardless.”

“Tablets IX through XI relate how Gilgamesh, driven by grief and fear of his own mortality, travels a great distance and overcomes many obstacles to find the home of Utnapishtim, the sole survivor of the Great Flood, who was rewarded with immortality by the gods.”

“He finds a beautiful garden by the sea in which he meets Siduri, the divine barmaid.[51] At first she tries to prevent Gilgamesh from entering the garden,[51] but later she instead attempts to persuade him to accept death as inevitable and not journey beyond the waters.[51] When Gilgamesh refuses to do this, she directs him to Urshanabi, the ferryman of the gods, who ferries Gilgamesh across the sea to Utnapishtim's homeland.[51] When Gilgamesh finally arrives at Utnapishtim's home, Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh that, to become immortal, he must defy sleep.[37] Gilgamesh fails to do this and falls asleep for seven days without waking.”

“Next, Utnapishtim tells him that, even if he cannot obtain immortality, he can restore his youth using a plant with the power of rejuvenation.[37][22] Gilgamesh takes the plant, but leaves it on the shore while swimming and a snake steals it, explaining why snakes are able to shed their skins.”

More details on the flood from the Epic Poem:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Gilgamesh

“Gilgamesh observes that Utnapishtim seems no different from himself, and asks him how he obtained his immortality. Utnapishtim explains that the gods decided to send a great flood. To save Utnapishtim the god Ea told him to build a boat. He gave him precise dimensions, and it was sealed with pitch and bitumen. His entire family went aboard together with his craftsmen and "all the animals of the field". A violent storm then arose which caused the terrified gods to retreat to the heavens. Ishtar lamented the wholesale destruction of humanity, and the other gods wept beside her. The storm lasted six days and nights, after which "all the human beings turned to clay". Utnapishtim weeps when he sees the destruction. His boat lodges on a mountain, and he releases a dove, a swallow, and a raven. When the raven fails to return, he opens the ark and frees its inhabitants. Utnapishtim offers a sacrifice to the gods, who smell the sweet savor and gather around. Ishtar vows that just as she will never forget the brilliant necklace that hangs around her neck, she will always remember this time. When Enlil arrives, angry that there are survivors, she condemns him for instigating the flood. Ea also castigates him for sending a disproportionate punishment. Enlil blesses Utnapishtim and his wife, and rewards them with eternal life. This account largely matches the flood story that concludes the Epic of Atra-Hasis.”

“The main point seems to be that when Enlil granted eternal life it was a unique gift. As if to demonstrate this point, Utnapishtim challenges Gilgamesh to stay awake for six days and seven nights. Gilgamesh falls asleep, and Utnapishtim instructs his wife to bake a loaf of bread on each of the days he is asleep, so that he cannot deny his failure to keep awake. Gilgamesh, who is seeking to overcome death, cannot even conquer sleep. After instructing Urshanabi the ferryman to wash Gilgamesh, and clothe him in royal robes, they depart for Uruk. As they are leaving, Utnapishtim's wife asks her husband to offer a parting gift. Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh that at the bottom of the sea there lives a boxthorn-like plant that will make him young again. Gilgamesh, by binding stones to his feet so he can walk on the bottom, manages to obtain the plant. Gilgamesh proposes to investigate if the plant has the hypothesized rejuvenation ability by testing it on an old man once he returns to Uruk.[27] When Gilgamesh stops to bathe, it is stolen by a serpent, who sheds its skin as it departs. Gilgamesh weeps at the futility of his efforts, because he has now lost all chance of immortality. He returns to Uruk, where the sight of its massive walls prompts him to praise this enduring work to Urshanabi.”

>> Did anons notice the “pitch and the bitumen”? I want anons to stop a bit here and think really deep: back when this Epic poem was written, the people writing it, they knew about using bitumen to coat boats to seal them with. This confirms my findings about the Kuphar = The Sumerians, the Akkadians and the rest that followed, they all knew about using this technic to keep the water from entering the kuphar – Mostly the SUMERIANS.

The notables:

1 – The gods decided to send a great flood.

2 – To save Utnapishtim the god Ea told him to build a boat with precise dimensions.

3 – It was sealed with pitch and bitumen.

4 – His entire family went aboard together with his craftsmen and “all the animals of the fields”.

5 – Violent storm caused the gods to retreat to Heaven.

6 – The storm lasted 6 days and nights.

7 – After which “all the human beings turned to clay”.

8 – Utnapishtim’s boat lodges a mountain.

9 – Utnapishtim offers a sacrifice to the gods.

10 – Utnapishtim and his wife are rewarded with eternal life by Enlil.

11 - This account largely matches the flood story that concludes the Epic of Atra-Hasis.

Now checking the flood myth for more details and reading the translation of the text itself:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh_flood_myth

“The Gilgamesh flood myth is a flood myth in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Many scholars believe that the flood myth was added to Tablet XI in the "standard version" of the Gilgamesh Epic by an editor who used the flood story from the Epic of Atrahasis.[1] A short reference to the flood myth is also present in the much older Sumerian Gilgamesh poems, from which the later Babylonian versions drew much of their inspiration and subject matter.”

“Gilgamesh’s supposed historical reign is believed to have been approximately 2700 BCE,[2] shortly before the earliest known written stories. The discovery of artifacts associated with Aga and Enmebaragesi of Kish, two other kings named in the stories, has lent credibility to the historical existence of Gilgamesh.[3]

The earliest Sumerian Gilgamesh poems date from as early as the Third dynasty of Ur (2100–2000 BCE).[4] One of these poems mentions Gilgamesh’s journey to meet the flood hero, as well as a short version of the flood story.[5] The earliest Akkadian versions of the unified epic are dated to ca. 2000–1500 BCE.[6] Due to the fragmentary nature of these Old Babylonian versions, it is unclear whether they included an expanded account of the flood myth; although one fragment definitely includes the story of Gilgamesh's journey to meet Utnapishtim. The "standard" Akkadian version included a long version of the story and was edited by Sin-liqe-unninni,[7] who lived sometime between 1300 and 1000 BCE.”

Anons, please read VERY CAREFULLY.

“Lines 1-203, Tablet XI [8] (note: with supplemental sub-titles and line numbers added for clarity)

Ea leaks the secret plan

1. Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh a secret story that begins in the old city of Shuruppak on the banks of the Euphrates River.

2. The "great gods" Anu, Enlil, Ninurta, Ennugi, and Ea were sworn to secrecy about their plan to cause the flood.

3. But the god Ea (Sumerian god Enki) repeated the plan to Utnapishtim through a reed wall in a reed house.

4. Ea commanded Utnapishtim to demolish his house and build a boat, regardless of the cost, to keep living beings alive.

5. The boat must have equal dimensions with corresponding width and length and be covered over like Apsu boats.

6. Utnapishtim promised to do what Ea commanded.

7. He asked Ea what he should say to the city elders and the population.

8. Ea tells him to say that Enlil has rejected him and he can no longer reside in the city or set foot in Enlil's territory.

9. He should also say that he will go down to the Apsu "to live with my lord Ea".

10. Note: 'Apsu' can refer to a fresh water marsh near the temple of Ea/Enki at the city of Eridu.[9]

Building and launching the boat

1. Carpenters, reed workers, and other people assembled one morning.

2. [missing lines]

3. Five days later, Utnapishtim laid out the exterior walls of the boat of 120 cubits.

4. The sides of the superstructure had equal lengths of 120 cubits. He also made a drawing of the interior structure.

5. The boat had six decks [?] divided into seven and nine compartments.

6. Water plugs were driven into the middle part.

7. Punting poles and other necessary things were laid in.

8. Three times 3,600 units of raw bitumen were melted in a kiln and three times 3,600 units of oil were used in addition to two times 3,600 units of oil that were stored in the boat.

9. Oxen and sheep were slaughtered and ale, beer, oil, and wine were distributed to the workmen, like at a new year's festival.

10. When the boat was finished, the launching was very difficult. A runway of poles was used to slide the boat into the water.

11. Two-thirds of the boat was in the water.

12. Utnapishtim loaded his silver and gold into the boat.

13. He loaded "all the living beings that I had."

14. His relatives and craftsmen, and "all the beasts and animals of the field" boarded the boat.

15. The time arrived, as stated by the god Shamash, to seal the entry door.”

“The storm

1. Early in the morning at dawn a black cloud arose from the horizon.

2. The weather was frightful.

3. Utnapishtim boarded the boat and entrusted the boat and its contents to his boatmaster Puzurammurri who sealed the entry.

4. The thunder god Adad rumbled in the cloud and storm gods Shullar and Hanish went over mountains and land.

5. Erragal pulled out the mooring poles and the dikes overflowed.

6. The Annunnaki gods lit up the land with their lightning.

7. There was stunned shock at Adad's deeds which turned everything to blackness. The land was shattered like a pot.

8. All day long the south wind blew rapidly and the water overwhelmed the people like an attack.

9. No one could see his fellows. They could not recognize each other in the torrent.

10. The gods were frightened by the flood, and retreated up to the Anu heaven. They cowered like dogs lying by the outer wall.

11. Ishtar shrieked like a woman in childbirth.

12. The Mistress of the gods wailed that the old days had turned to clay because "I said evil things in the Assembly of the Gods, ordering a catastrophe to destroy my people who fill the sea like fish."

13. The other gods were weeping with her and sat sobbing with grief, their lips burning, parched with thirst.

14. The flood and wind lasted six days and six nights, flattening the land.

15. On the seventh day, the storm was pounding [intermittently?] like a woman in labor."

“Calm after the storm

1. The sea calmed and the whirlwind and flood stopped. All day long there was quiet. All humans had turned to clay.

2. The terrain was as flat as a roof top. Utnapishtim opened a window and felt fresh air on his face.

3. He fell to his knees and sat weeping, tears streaming down his face. He looked for coastlines at the horizon and saw a region of land.

4. The boat lodged firmly on mount Nimush which held the boat for several days, allowing no swaying.

5. On the seventh day he released a dove that flew away, but came back to him. He released a swallow, but it also came back to him.

6. He released a raven which was able to eat and scratch, and did not circle back to the boat.

7. He then sent his livestock out in various directions.

The sacrifice

1. He sacrificed a sheep and offered incense at a mountainous ziggurat where he placed 14 sacrificial vessels and poured reeds, cedar, and myrtle into the fire.

2. The gods smelled the sweet odor of the sacrificial animal and gathered like flies over the sacrifice.

3. Then the great goddess arrived, lifted up her flies (beads), and said

4. "Ye gods, as surely as I shall not forget this lapis lazuli [amulet] around my neck, I shall be mindful of these days and never forget them! The gods may come to the sacrificial offering. But Enlil may not come, because he brought about the flood and annihilated my people without considering [the consequences]."

5. When Enlil arrived, he saw the boat and became furious at the Igigi gods. He said "Where did a living being escape? No man was to survive the annihilation!"

6. Ninurta spoke to Enlil saying "Who else but Ea could do such a thing? It is Ea who knew all of our plans."

7. Ea spoke to Enlil saying "It was you, the Sage of the Gods. How could you bring about a flood without consideration?"

8. Ea then accuses Enlil of sending a disproportionate punishment, and reminds him of the need for compassion.

9. Ea denies leaking the god's secret plan to Atrahasis (= Utnapishtim), admitting only sending him a dream and deflecting Enlil's attention to the flood hero.

“The flood hero and his wife are granted immortality and transported far away

1. Enlil then boards a boat and grasping Utnapishtim's hand, helps him and his wife aboard where they kneel. Standing between Utnapishtim and his wife, he touches their foreheads and blesses them. "Formerly Utnapishtim was a human being, but now he and his wife have become gods like us. Let Utnapishtim reside far away, at the mouth of the rivers."

2. Utnapishtim and his wife are transported and settled at the "mouth of the rivers".

The notables:

1- Tablet XI in the “standard version” of the Gilgamesh epic was added by an editor who used the flood story from the epic of Atrahasis.

2- The earliest Sumerian Gilgamesh poem date from as early as the Third Dynasty of Ur (2100-2000 B.C.).

3- Five great gods: Anu, Enlil, Ninurta, Ennugi, and Ea (Enki) planned to cause the flood.

4- “Carpenters, reed workers, and other people assembled one morning”.

5- The exterior walls of the boat are of 120 cubits; as well as “the sides of the superstructure had equal lengths”.

6- “The boat had six decks [?] divided into seven and nine compartments”.

7- Bitumen and oil were used.

8- “Utnapishtim loaded his silver and gold into the boat”.

9- “Early in the morning at dawn a black cloud arose from the horizon”.

10- “The Annunnaki gods lit up the land with their lightning”

11- “There was stunned shock at Adad's deeds which turned everything to blackness. The land was shattered like a pot”.

12- “The Mistress of the gods wailed that the old days had turned to clay because "I said evil things in the Assembly of the Gods, ordering a catastrophe to destroy my people who fill the sea like fish."

13- “The whirlwind and flood stopped”.

14- “The terrain was flat as a roof top”.

15- “The boat lodged firmly on mount Nimush”.

16- “He sacrificed a sheep and offered incense at a mountainous ziggurat where he placed 14 sacrificial vessels and poured reeds, cedar, and myrtle into the fire”.

17- “Enlil then boards a boat".

18- “Utnapishtim and his wife are transported and settled at the "mouth of the rivers".

Those notables will be needed later on.

Of course, the next thing I did was to check the Epic of Atra-Hasis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atra-Hasis

I’m not going to bother anons with copy/paste pages of the flood in this one, since it’s very similar to the Epic of Gilgamesh. I’m just going to highlight a few notable points:

The notables:

1 – Contains a “Creation myth”. Very interesting. Very.

“Tablet I contains a creation myth about the Sumerian gods Anu, Enlil, and Enki, gods of sky, wind, and water, “when gods were in the ways of men” according to its incipit. Following the Cleromancy (casting of lots), sky is ruled by Anu, earth by Enlil, and the freshwater sea by Enki. Enlil assigned junior divines[7] to do farm labor and maintain the rivers and canals, but after forty years the lesser gods or dingirs rebelled and refused to do strenuous labor. Instead of punishing the rebels, Enki, who is also the kind, wise counselor of the gods, suggested that humans be created to do the work. The mother goddess Mami is assigned the task of creating humans by shaping clay figurines mixed with the flesh and blood of the slain god Geshtu-E, “a god who had intelligence” (his name means “ear” or “wisdom”).[8] All the gods in turn spit upon the clay. After 10 months, a specially-made womb breaks open and humans are born. Tablet I continues with legends about overpopulation and plagues. Atrahasis is mentioned at the end of Tablet I.”

“Tablet II begins with more overpopulation of humans and the god Enlil sending first famine and drought at formulaic intervals of 1200 years to reduce the population. In this epic Enlil is depicted as a cruel, capricious god while Enki is depicted as a kind, helpful god, perhaps because priests of Enki were writing and copying the story. Tablet II is mostly damaged, but ends with Enlil's decision to destroy humankind with a flood and Enki bound by an oath to keep the plan secret.”

2 – After 7 days the flood ends.

3 – We have the name of Utnapishtim’s father = “Utnapishtim, who is said to be the son of Ubara-Tutu, king of Shuruppak”.

4 – Possible genealogy of Atra-Hasis : “However, tablet WB-62 lists a different chronology. In it, Atrahasis is listed as a ruler of Shuruppak and a gudug priest, who was preceded by his father Shuruppak, who is in turn preceded by his father Ubara-Tutu, as in The Instructions of Shuruppak. This tablet is unique in that it mentions both Shuruppak and Atrahasis”.

5 – What was Atra-Hasis doing when the flood began= “For example, according to Atrahasis III ii.40–47, the flood hero was at a banquet when the storm and flood began: "He invited his people…to a banquet…He sent his family on board. They ate and they drank. But he (Atrahasis) was in and out. He could not sit, could not crouch, for his heart was broken and he was vomiting gall."

These are very interesting details anons.
