During the Covid lockdown in 2020 archeologists and historians have had opportunity to work overdrive.
    
A text (tablet K.U.11872W) that had been long housed in a Turkish museum has finally been translated! And what a unique contribution it has made to our understanding of the mythical beliefs of ancient peoples!

K.U.8911H (*Kingu's Wager)
  
"And Great Anu to Kingu by the fire,
   
'I perceived that [you ha]ve imagined a basket of sweet edibles. 
Frozen into tasty clouds.
Would it [that you] wish to exerience your desire?'
  
Kingu replied, 'You have perceived correctly. Ind[eed I] so desire'.
  
'Very well, but in that realm no ecstasy takes place without an exchange.
All of it is within you.
So are you prepared to die?'
  
'How then shall I [taste it] Sire?'
  
'Your blood will give substance to trees and berries.
Your flesh to cattle and milk.
[Sa]crificed upon the pyre'
  
'Yes, [but] I shall be dead. My spirit floating higher'
  
'No, you shall be naked;
yet, if your children clothe you
then you shall taste what you desire.'
   
And Kingu [discarded his b]ody.
His blood running into the earth as seed
And flesh [permeating the grou]nd
Till it came to stand within the mire.
   
Now the spirit of Kingu roams seeking his children's generosity.
Now also he doth tire,
for few grant him his desire."
