- Egyptian, it's a compilation of sales and imports on the Nile for a civil servant of the farao. Really old, really stunning piece. Fragile, don't touch it.
- And this one Granddaddy, what it is about? It smells baaad...
- haaa this one Joshua, I don't really know. Babylonian, undated. The end is missing. Quite unusual. Just a bunch of nonsense I presume. You see here, this mountain is central in the narrative. You find it everywhere. Then you have a child with a demonic head, a harvest, the moon, a dog called void, a plague, a virgin (in the old meaning of the term, young girl) and above that a recipe for brewing alcoholic beverages. Ah, can it be some apocalyptical myth from an obscure cult in some dark ages? I don't know Josh, maybe you will find the key to decifer that story when you grow old.
-I really want to be like you granddaddy! It's so cool with all your old stories!
- Hahaha yes I hope so. You know what's also funny with that papyrus? The mountain is called "Gûûnhtą", which means "belly" in Babylonian. The "evil belly mountain", isn't that funny? Haha, nonsense. Let me show you some more serious artefact now...
