Aramaic inscriptions

Aramaic inscriptions are written texts in the Aramaic language, historically used in the ancient Near East. Emerging around 1000 BCE, Aramaic became a common language for communication, trade, and administration, especially within the Assyrian and Babylonian empires. These inscriptions often appear on stone, pottery, or metal, and include public declarations, religious texts, and personal messages. They provide valuable insights into the culture, politics, and daily life of ancient civilizations. Notably, Aramaic was the language spoken during significant historical events, including parts of the Hebrew Bible and the time of Jesus Christ.
