Babylonian texts
Babylonian texts are ancient writings from the civilization of Babylon in Mesopotamia, dating back to around 2000-539 BCE. They include clay tablets inscribed with cuneiform script, covering a wide range of topics such as law (like the Code of Hammurabi), astronomy, mathematics, literature, and administrative records. These texts provide vital insights into early human civilization, reflecting their beliefs, daily life, governance, and scientific knowledge. Studying them helps us understand how ancient Babylonians organized their society and contributed to the development of record-keeping, law, and science that influenced later cultures.
