Cthulhu Tablet, Take Two

In a stunning example of synchronicity, I stumbled across this take on a Mythos-touched clay tablet just after finding yesterday's entry. I love being able to compare different takes on the same subject. GladeFlower's tablet is far more ornate, but I rather like the clean presentation of Tailiana's from yesterday.

I love this one very nicely done.

I'm always a sucker for cuneiform Cthonian tablets. My Sumerian is a bit rusty, but my translation reads, “Twenty centuries of squamous slumber / were vexed to nightmare by a digging shovel /what rough beast, the stars come round at last / slouches toward Saranath to be reborn?” It’s either that or a recipe for octopus soup.

Haha, that is hilarious CoistConFan.
I found my tablet here a year later when I googled my own name :)

Relic from pirates of the Carribian. Looks like Davie Jones. Maybe it's the lid of his locker...

CoastaConFan - you claim to be able to read Sumerian Cuneiforum. Would you care to elaborate? I assume you are reading the inscription on the circle? Would you be willing to provide a syllabic transcription?

Is it really and from what year

I feel like such an outsider, I can translate interlinear Greek Aramaic Hebrew and oh I have to go bye

Brilliant, I wish I could read them ��

It looks like the alien from independence day the first one. I don't think it should be read they might hear us.🚀

Qué probabilidades hay de que se trate de cuentos de la ciencia ficción ancestral???

The circle inscription says: "Fresh Persian Octopus from Kuwait bay-- 1 shekel of silver per kg " Like 10 bucks today? This was a fish market tag I imagine :-)
