A question for the Nez Perce

[potsherd_creek]

Chief Thunder Rolling Down the Mountain or as most know the name as Chief Joseph. I did not know this until yesterday. In 1877 Chief Joseph had on his possession a small cuneiform tablet dating to 2042 B.C Mesopotamia. Looking online the tablet is supposedly now housed at the U.S. Army Center of Military History, West Point Museum. I respectably would like to hear your narrative and opinion. Thank you.

It most likely was never possessed by Cheif Joseph. It was included in a group of artifacts donated for display from a deceased Army officer. A lot of the stories about it are 3rd & 4th party recollections & not very reliable.
CFLI under the heading Gone West has a very detailed story about it.
