Summary

Based on his real-life work, here is Finkel's version of the ancient story of an ancient Babylonian man, Atra-hasis, as told through his son named Very-quick, when Atra-hasis is tasked with building a boat large enough to save all living things from a catastrophic flood. It is retold here in this fictionalized version of a flood recorded four thousand years before the Hebrew Bible story of Noah and the Ark that brings the lives of ancient Babylonians and ancient Mesopotamia to life
