Rejoice, children of Goon. One of the three great Gooning artifacts of Shuruppak has been recovered! If combined with the other two Goonero will emerge from the catacombs and take his rightful place as ruler.

...and in any case a flagrant copyright violation. This is an earlier version, part of the Gilgamesh epic in Akkadian, but even this isn't the oldest; the original is Sumerian. "Noah" is called Utnapishtim (or Atrahasis, or Ziusudra, depending on the text) and lives in the city of Shuruppak.

In Mesopotamian myth, the god Enki warns Utnapishtim, King of Shuruppak, that the god Enlil plans to flood the earth because humans have become too noisy. Enki instructs him to build a boat so he can save himself, his relatives, & all the earth's species. #MythologyMonday

So a park dedicated to the Sumerian King Ziusudra of Shuruppak, who warned by the god Enki that the Gods wanted to destroy man with a flood. So instructed to build a big boat to save man & animals.
Good that Ky is honoring the culture & history of the first civilization.
