Which exact DOJ documents or exhibit numbers reference the Gilgamesh Dream Tablet in the Epstein files?

1. What was checked and why it matters

The search began with the Department of Justice’s Epstein landing pages and dataset index, which host the released materials and data‑set pages produced under the Epstein Files Transparency Act (the DOJ’s epstein portal and dataset pages) ^{[1] [7]}, and then surveyed major reporting summarizing those releases, because journalists and oversight releases are the most likely sources to single out a discrete physical exhibit such as a named “Gilgamesh Dream Tablet” within millions of pages ^{[4] [5] [6]}.

2. The scale and nature of the DOJ releases

The DOJ has published roughly 3.5 million responsive pages drawn from multiple criminal investigations and related materials, including grand jury materials, FBI investigations and case files from Florida and New York criminal matters involving Epstein and Maxwell, which together form the corpus now accessible on the department’s site ^{[3] [7]}. News organizations and congressional sources that parsed the dataset reported thousands of references to prominent names and hundreds of specific documents — but their inventories and highlights do not list a document or exhibit tied to a “Gilgamesh Dream Tablet” ^{[4] [5] [8] [6]}.

3. No documented DOJ exhibit number found referring to the tablet

Across the DOJ’s public portal and the mainstream reportage surveyed here, there is no identified DOJ docket entry, exhibit number, or dataset file name that references a “Gilgamesh Dream Tablet.” Major summaries of the disclosures describe photos, flight logs, memos, grand jury testimony and other materials but do not mention any Mesopotamian artifact or a named “dream tablet” as an exhibit in the released files ^{[3] [9] [5]}.

4. Alternative explanations consistent with the record

The absence of any published reference in these sources does not by itself prove the tablet was never present in the larger corpus before redaction or withholding; the DOJ acknowledged identifying roughly 6 million potentially responsive pages and has said it released about 3.5 million after review and redaction, and reporting and advocates have noted millions of pages remain withheld or redacted, which could obscure niche items if they existed ^{[6] [3] [10]}. Congressional releases and the FBI Vault contain curated subsets of records and news reporting tends to surface high‑salience items, so a narrowly named exhibit could remain unreported or omitted from public indexes ^{[8] [11]}.

5. How to prove or disprove presence conclusively

Conclusive proof either way would require locating an explicit DOJ index entry, exhibit number, grand jury exhibit list, or a file within the DOJ dataset pages that contains the text string “Gilgamesh Dream Tablet” or an equivalent description; those are the primary authoritative sources for exhibit numbering and exhibit lists in the released material ^{[7] [3]}. If a researcher believes the tablet appears in withheld material, the appropriate route would be to seek DOJ confirmation via a records request, inspect any grand jury exhibit lists the department has produced, or examine the specific dataset files and metadata on the DOJ epstein data pages for that phrase ^{[1] [7]}.

6. Bottom line

Within the official DOJ Epstein disclosure site and the mainstream reportage and congressional releases reviewed here, no exact DOJ document or exhibit number has been identified that references a “Gilgamesh Dream Tablet” in the Epstein files; the record reviewed shows no publicly posted exhibit labeled as such, though redactions and withheld pages acknowledged by the DOJ leave limited room for undisclosed niche items to exist beyond what these sources document ^{[1] [7] [6] [10]}.
