From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scheil dynastic tablet is an ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform text containing a variant form of the Sumerian King List.[1][2]
The tablet came into possession of the Assyriologist Jean-Vincent Scheil in 1911, having bought it from a private collection in France. The tablet when purchased was reported to have been unearthed from Susa. Scheil translated the tablet in 1911.[3][4] The tablet dates to the early 2nd millennium BC.
He obtained another document, a rather damaged prism similar to the Weld-Blundell Prism, which he translated in 1934, and completed using information from the 1911 tablet and other known documents.[5]
The 1911 tablet is currently owned by the British Museum, but is not on display.[6][7]
