Más información sobre el libro

v=hS5eh...Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta is an interesting tale about a diplomatic exchange and prelude to war between Enmerkar, the king of Uruk, and the unnamed Lord of Aratta, from around 2100 BC. Enmerkar wants precious stones for a new temple, Aratta wants barley as his people are under a famine. Enmerkar begins negotiations belligerently, but Aratta does not fear Uruk's military might, and thus begins the conflict between the two cities. The text is notable for being a very early version of the "Confusion of Tongues" narrative, in addition to including a story about the invention of writing on clay tablets.
