Abstract

**Discovery: The Tablet Behind the "Anunnaki" Episode — An Honest Audit** The YouTube video "What Sumerian Tablets Really Say About the Anunnaki | Dr. Mark Weeden – Ancient Technology Podcast" features Assyriologist Dr. Mark Weeden (SOAS, University of London) discussing Mesopotamian astronomy and the Anunnaki. The critical problem: **the video does not supply a museum number, excavation number, or publication reference for any specific tablet.** No cuneiform text is read aloud, transliterated, or collated against a published edition. Weeden speaks in general terms about Mesopotamian celestial divination and the Anunnaki as chthonic deities, not about a single artifact. This means any claim that "the tablet" encodes a specific mathematical or astronomical result is, at present, unverifiable from the video itself. What can be said honestly is what the relevant genre of tablets *actually* contains, since Weeden's discussion sits within that corpus: - **Astronomical diaries and goal-ye Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
