Abstract

The user wants a 300-500 word "discovery" write-up about a specific YouTube video titled "The Sumerian Tablet That Named a Comet — It's Due Back in 2026". I need to identify the tablet discussed in that video. The video title sounds like clickbait/pseudoarchaeology (naming a comet, predicting return in 2026). Real cuneiform tablets (like the Venus Tablet of Ammisaduqa, MUL.APIN, or Halley's comet records in Babylonian diaries) don't "name" comets in the modern sense (e.g., "Comet Smith") nor predict specific returns years in advance with that precision for a specific named object in 2026. The most likely candidate for a "comet tablet" predicting a return is a misunderstanding of the *Babylonian Astronomical Diaries* which record Halley's Comet appearances (164 BC, 87 BC), or perhaps the *MUL.APIN* series. However, the specific title "The Sumerian Tablet That Named a Comet — It's Due Back in 2026" strongly suggests a specific YouTube creator (likely "Bright Insight", "UnchartedX", "Anci Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
