tablets - 2025 ACF Fall - Buzzpoints App

Question

In February 2025, University of Chicago Sumerologist Jana Matuszak translated one of these cuneiform objects that, according to her, contains the only known narrative that features the Sumerian storm god Ishkur. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name these Mesopotamian objects on which the Epic of Gilgamesh was first written in cuneiform. Marduk inherited some of these clay objects “of Destiny.”

ANSWER: tablets [accept Tablet of Destinies or Tablets of Destiny; accept cuneiform tablets; prompt on slab]

[10h] The translated tablet reveals a story where this king of the gods convenes an assembly to rescue his son Ishkur. This first chief deity inherited the Tablets of Destiny from his father Anu.

ANSWER: Enlil [or Ellil; or Elil]

[10m] Because none of the assembled gods stepped up to rescue Ishkur, one of these animals volunteered. The Japanese kitsune, some of these animals, are messengers for the rice deity Inari.

ANSWER: foxes [or šēlebum; accept nine-tailed fox]
