Clay tablet inscriptions

Clay tablet inscriptions are ancient writings engraved onto wet clay using a stylus, typically made of reed. Once inscribed, the tablets were baked or dried to harden, preserving the text. These tablets, mainly from civilizations like Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians, served as records for transactions, laws, poetry, and administrative details. They represent some of the earliest forms of written communication, providing valuable insights into early human society, governance, and culture. Their durability has allowed historians to study their contents thousands of years later.
