This ancient Babylonian inscribed clay tablet is one of fifteen found in the ruins of Babylonian cities that were either sold or donated to the State Historical Society and Natural History Society of Colorado (SHNH) in 1920 by Edgar J. Banks of Alpine, New Jersey. This was several years before the institution split into the two institutions now branded as the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and History Colorado. Edgar J. (James) Banks (1866-1945) was a Harvard-trained archaeologist with one dig to his credit in what is now Iraq from 1903 to 1905. Banks became a “merchant in Babylonian antiquities” soliciting his wares to private collectors, museums, and libraries around the US (and presumably other countries as well). It is estimated that he sold as many as 11,000 cuneiform tablets he had collected in Iraq—fifteen of them finding a home at the SHNH.
