No idea. The number of those tablets
is about 300 and prof. Pettinato is still
traslating.
Btw, Pettinato said that the 'desert storm' war
made (also) a lot of damages. Many tablets are
broken. Gilgamesh's town (?) was partially
destroyed.
The main point is: king Gilgamesh killed
himself, his family, the entire court.
The Euphratis river was forced to flood
the golden grave...
