Excerpts from the book:
...I never managed to find the golden temple of Inanna, Mr. Adamson confessed at the end of his story. Nevertheless, I found some very interesting golden tablets... he said. And besides them, there are a number of other interesting ancient objects.
Tablets? Alice was surprised. The cards told me that you would find what you wanted on the expedition. Maybe these are the golden tablets? May I have a look at them?
They must be in the British Museum by now. My colleague George Smith took on a huge responsibility and personally escorted the valuable cargo. However, I have photographs of tablets and other artifacts found in Uruk.
William took a box of photographs from one of his huge suitcases, opened it, and set it on the table. Alice picked up several photographs. In the photo, the tablets looked as thick as thick cardboard. They were covered with thin and even symbols, similar to Sumerian cuneiform.
Are they made of gold? Alice asked casually. Chris, meanwhile, mesmerized, looked at one of the photographs.
Yes, outwardly the metal looks like gold... confirmed William. Alice, meanwhile, put her hand on the black-and-white photo.
This is not gold, although it is very similar in appearance, the medium suddenly, quite unexpectedly, declared.
Why are you so sure? exclaimed in one voice her brother and Aldridge.
How could you tell from black-and-white photography? wondered William. Metal is similar to gold, but clearly lighter than it. Perhaps some kind of alloy...
I just know, she replied calmly. I feel like this metal came here from afar. This is not a product of the earths interior...
Chris and William looked at each other meaningfully, but didnt argue. Alice looked up from the photo and looked at her brother with an attentive gaze.

Enki entered the courtroom. Ereshkigal sat at a wide wooden table made of Elamite cedar, decorated with rich inlays. She studied another case, recorded by scribes on ten clay tablets. Unwittingly, Ereshkigal was distracted from her occupation and looked at the visitor. To her surprise, she saw the High Emissary himself.
Venerable Enki?! she exclaimed, rose from the table and bowed slightly to the Emissary.
He only replied with a slight nod of his head.
Are you without an entourage? Ereshkigal was again surprised.
Yes... I arrived alone on a very urgent matter... said a relative with a tremor in his voice.
Ereshkigal knew immediately that something serious had happened. Otherwise, Enki would have summoned her to his residence in Eridu. She immediately motioned for the scribes to leave. Enki sat down beside the massive table on a sturdy wooden chair with a high carved back.
Are you ready to listen to me? he asked the High Judge. She nodded.
The High Emissary told her about the disappearance of the golden tablets and the attendant circumstances, including the theft of natural resources. And about what Ninshubur sent to the Dumuzid residence in order to collect the necessary evidence.
The judge listened carefully, and then exclaimed:
Its outrageous! I am sure that Inanna and Dumuzid are both involved in this case! They acted together! And my sister deliberately distracted you!
Ereshkigal, do not get excited... Enki tried to calm his granddaughter. I cant believe Inanna was involved in this. But Dumuzid could easily have done such a thing... And he had serious reasons for that...
