There are also tablets recording the adventures of the goddess of love, the story of creation and the wars of the god. From the religion of the people come many tablets with hymns and psalms to the gods, some of the psalms having passages strikingly similar to the Biblical psalms. The theological system, with its greater gods and its demons, can be pretty thoroughly made out. In the sciences, especially mathematics...
