Re:Sumerian Star Map Recorded the Impact of an Asteroid (2024) by willismonroe on Saturday January 31, 2026 @01:11PM (#46839051)
The tablet has been translated for the better part of a century. The problem is that many of the popular depictions of it don't give it's museum number or any other (correct) identifying information, often erroneously referring to it as a "Sumerian" object.

If you search for the museum number K. 8538 you'll find quite a bit (some still bad). That said, this article is wildly off-base.
