Eshermek Tablets

Eshermek Tablets, a series of tablets discovered in the ruins of Eshermek containing records of the Yagathian invasions of Earth and their downfall.

They were written in a cursive form of writing similar to Modern Arabic and Hebrew script and they were easy to translate because of the similarities.

Discovery
The Eshermekite Tablets were found in 1912 by the archaeologist Sir James Lloyd Dunnon. Then they were found to be written in a language that's similar to Sumerian or Egyptian or an early form of any language that was ever spoken. In 1918 the linguists who were deciphering the Eshermekite Tablets were struck by a mysterious illness similar to the biblical plague with symptoms of boils, fever, vomiting, and death within a day. This started the Curse of Eshermek and was later found that it was, in fact, a virus that caused the illness not a punishment from the gods.

Origins
The Eshermek Tablets were thought to have been written around 3800 B.C. and also contain the Yagathian lore and also records of epic battles between the Yagathian gods and Fallen Gods. The tablets are arranged in order from the beginning and the end of the Yagathian Empire.

The question of how the Eshermekites obtained such knowledge remains a mystery to this day. Theories from contact with ancient spirits to visitations to Eshermek from the Yagathians were proposed by researchers.

Then different anthropologists and historians suggested that stories about beings contacting different cultures were recorded throughout history and resulted in organized religion and mythology.

Also, these stories turned into legends and then into myths over time until the truce origins are no longer known.

The Papyrus Scrolls
In 1905 many scrolls were found with the records of Yagathian planets, settlements, and mythology and became known as the Papyrus Scrolls. During the 1908 excavations of Eshermek, these records were translated by many linguists. However, the exact age of the scrolls remains a mystery to this day and many more were discovered in different places throughout the world.

The Eshermekite Stone
A carved granite with Eshermitic inscriptions about the social, economic, cultural, and religious beliefs of the people.

The inscriptions were used as a guide to society rather than a record and also translated into different languages of the time including Sumerians with which the Eshermekites traded and had contact.

However, over a certain period, they stop trading with the Sumerians because of unknown reasons probably the dwindling economy and trade routes were a huge factor in the decline of relations between the two nations.
