B.C. Cuneiform Tablets

B.C. cuneiform tablets are clay documents from ancient Mesopotamia, dating back to around 3000 BCE. They were inscribed using a stylus to press wedge-shaped symbols into soft clay, serving as record-keeping tools for trade, administration, legal codes, and literature. Once dried or baked, these tablets became durable archival records, offering valuable insights into early human civilization, economy, and culture. They are among the earliest examples of written language, illustrating the development of complex societal organization and communication in ancient Sumeria and neighboring regions.
