  George Smith (assyriologist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Smith (March 26, 1840–August 19, 1876), was an English Assyriologist.
Smith was thus enabled to make his first discovery (the date of the payment of the tribute by Jehu to Shalmaneser III) and Sir Henry suggested to the trustees of the Museum that he should be associated with himself in the preparation of the third volume of Cuneiform Inscriptions of Western Asia.
In 1872 Smith achieved world-wide fame by his translation of the Chaldaean account of the Great Flood, which was read before the Society of Biblical Archaeology on December 3.
