-The Epic of Gilgamesh Clay Tablets: See also Epic of Gilgamesh. These tablets were the original surface on which the Epic of Gilgamesh was written. The tablets however are mostly incomplete. The tablets that have been recovered many pieces and chunks have been chipped off, destroyed, or otherwise ruined after so much time. This leads to issues with translating the text and properly recreating the original text. Tablets are still being uncovered and restored each year. This leads to updated versions of The Epic of Gilgamesh each year as translators get new information in more complete tablets.
