Ancient Aramaic inscriptions

Ancient Aramaic inscriptions are written records in the Aramaic language, which was widely used in the ancient Near East, particularly from the 10th century BCE onwards. These inscriptions appear on various artifacts, such as stone tablets, seals, and monuments, and are crucial for understanding the history, culture, and languages of that time. Aramaic was the lingua franca during several empires, including the Babylonian and Persian. Notably, parts of the Bible are written in Aramaic. These inscriptions provide valuable insights into politics, religion, and daily life in ancient societies.
