In November 1873 English Assyriologist George Smith again left England for Nineveh for a second expedition, this time at the expense of the Museum, and continued his excavations at the tell of Kouyunjik (Nineveh). An account of his work is given in Assyrian Discoveries book, published early in 1875. The rest of the year was spent in fixingtogether and translating the fragments relating to the creation, the results of which were published later in The Chaldaean Account of Genesis (1880, co-written with Archibald Sayce)

George Smith (26. maaliskuuta 1840 - 19. elokuuta 1876) oli uraauurtava englantilainen assyriologi.Kirjan alkuosa sisältää värikkään katsauksen kaivauksiin, jotka toteutettiin vuosina 1873 ja 1874 Niniven paikalla ja niihin liittyviin matkoihin. Tähän kaivaustyöhön Smith sai rahoituksen Daily Telegraph-uutislehdeltä.Selostus tästä hänen työstään julkaistiin alkuvuodesta 1875 englanninkielisessä kirjassa Assyrian discoveries.Tämä historiallinen teos julkaistaan nyt suomenkielisenä laitoksena. Tässä on tehty joitakin pieniä ajan mukanaan tuomia muutoksia joihinkin paikannimiin ja muinaisten hallitsijoiden nimiin.
The Chaldean oracles of the Genesis. E-book. Formato EPUB George Smith - Books On Demand, 2018 -
I believe that time will show the Babylonian traditions of Genesis to be invaluable for the light they will throw on the Pentateuch, but at present there are so many blanks in the evidence that positive conclusions on several points are impossible. I may add in conclusion that my present work is intended as a popular account, and I have introduced only so much explanation as seems necessary for the proper understanding of the subject. I have added translations of some parts of the legends which I avoided in my last work, desiring here to satisfy the wish to see them as perfect as possible; there still remain however some passages which I have omitted, but these are of small extent and obscure.
