Hero Holding a Lion: Churchward’s Gilgames Plate
A richly dressed, long-bearded figure holds a lion against his torso and carries a curved implement in the other hand. The reproduced caption names Gilgames and adds the qualified phrase so-called Accadian Fire God. Churchward’s wording is preserved as historical interpretation rather than treated as a definitive modern identification of the ancient relief.
