The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Wisdom literature, intended to teach proper piety, instill virtue, and preserve community standards, was common throughout the ancient Near East.
- Its incipit sets the text in great antiquity: "In those days, in those far remote times, in those nights, in those faraway nights, in those years, in those far remote years." The precepts are placed in the mouth of a king Šuruppak, son of Ubara-Tutu.
- Ubara-Tutu is recorded in most extant copies of the Sumerian King List as being the final king of Sumer prior to the deluge.
