What is known as the creation tablet forms a small part of the discovery of some 15,000 clay tablets dating from 2300 BC. The creation tablet was unearthed along with the others in 1975.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the tablet is that it follows some of the order of creation found in Genesis 1, as follows: "There was no heaven, Lugo formed it. (Lugo means "the big one" or "the great one") There was no earth, Lugo formed it. There was no sun, Lugo formed it. There was no moon, Lugo formed it.
This account, which pre-dates the Genesis creation account by around 900 years domonstrates that written records of the creation even pre-dated Abraham (born 2161 BC).
In a general sense, the existence of such written records also disproves the documentary assumption that writing was not in wide use in Moses' time so he could not have written Genesis, and so it must be placed much later. This of course does not prove that Moses wrote anything, only that he was in a time period where writing was known (in fact 900 years later) and used and so Moses cannot be excluded as the author of the Pentateuch on these grounds as incorrectly done by the 19th century documentary theorists and those who followed them.

Why do people write the story of creation?
There are Creation-stories all over the world; tens of them if not hundreds. This is because the Creation was a tradition going all the way back and shared by all mankind. People recorded the event of Creation because of its compelling implications, that life is meaningful and that we are responsible to a higher Power. As time passed, most of these stories became infiltrated by idolatry, with a phantasmagoria of warring deities. It is the Torah, in Genesis, which preserves the original.See also:Is there evidence for Creation?
