Sumerian inscriptions

Sumerian inscriptions are ancient writings created by the Sumerians, one of the world's earliest civilizations, which thrived in Mesopotamia around 3500 to 2000 BCE. These inscriptions, typically made on clay tablets using a wedge-shaped script called cuneiform, record various aspects of life, including trade, laws, literature, and religious beliefs. They provide invaluable insights into Sumerian society, culture, and language, reflecting their innovations and day-to-day activities. Sumerian inscriptions are crucial for understanding the foundations of writing and human civilization.
