Mesopotamian inscriptions
Mesopotamian inscriptions refer to the written records created by ancient civilizations in the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, mainly the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. They commonly used cuneiform script, which involved pressing a stylus into clay tablets to form wedge-shaped symbols. These inscriptions documented various aspects of life, including laws, trade, literature, and religious practices. They provide valuable insights into early human society, culture, and governance, helping us understand the complexities of ancient Mesopotamian civilization and its influence on later cultures.
