Assyrian documentation

Assyrian documentation refers to the ancient records created by the Assyrian civilization, primarily on clay tablets using cuneiform script. These documents include royal inscriptions, administrative records, legal codes, letters, and historical accounts, providing insights into their governance, economy, religion, and daily life. Preserved over thousands of years, these texts help modern scholars understand Assyrian culture, military campaigns, and state organization. The meticulous nature of their record-keeping reflects their advanced bureaucratic system and their desire to preserve history, making Assyrian documentation a vital primary source for studying ancient Mesopotamian civilization.
