Scheil dynastic tablet

The Scheil dynastic tablet is an ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform text containing a variant form of the Sumerian King List.

[1][2] The tablet came into possession of the Assyriologist Jean-Vincent Scheil in 1911, having bought it from a private collection in France.

The tablet when purchased was reported to have been unearthed from Susa.

He obtained another document, a rather damaged prism similar to the Weld-Blundell Prism, which he translated in 1934, and completed using information from the 1911 tablet and other known documents.

[5] The 1911 tablet is currently owned by the British Museum, but is not on display.
