Collimatrix Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Very, very interesting. I had read at least one scholarly appraisal of the EoG, claiming that there was good reason to believe that the last chapter of the versions so far discovered appeared to have been written by a different author. I suspect there's a rather lot more from the story that hasn't been found yet, and perhaps never will be if someone doesn't gas all those ISIS bastards before they despoil everything of value from ancient Mesopotamia.
