The Sumerian Elixir Archive
A rigorously documented archive of Sumerian-era healing substances, medical prescriptions, and ritual texts—built from museum catalogues, cuneiform editions, and primary evidence. Every claim is traceable.
Evidence Bound
What counts here
- Primary cuneiform tablets, object records, and excavation documentation.
- Secondary commentary clearly labeled and quarantined from evidence.
- Suppression or shutdown claims require court orders or contemporaneous press.
Current focus: P269190 (CBS 14221) and Sumerian incantations
Primary Evidence
Museum catalog entries, photographs, and transliterations anchor every statement.
Provenance First
Each artifact is linked to excavation context, collection history, and publication trail.
Lore Split From Data
Modern claims are separated from the primary record and labeled when unverified.
