cuneiform

Some of these include cuneiform bricks, terracotta pots, coins and other objects sourced from places like Babylon, Mesopotamia, Susa and Iran and are dated to 4000-5000 BCE.

However, cuneiform clay tablets contained a wide variety of texts, such as tax lists, sales documents, prayers, literature and early historical and mathematical texts.

This connection had been referenced in many historical sources, including the Bible, in cuneiform texts, and local traditional stories.

To this day, my notes look like something between cuneiform and the lines from furniture on wooden floors after decades of wear and tear.

"Up until now it has been difficult to access the content of many cuneiform tablets at once -- you sort of need to know exactly what you are looking for and where," Mara adds.
