Sumerian tablets

Sumerian tablets are ancient clay artifacts from the Sumer civilization, one of the earliest known cultures, located in what is now southern Iraq. Created between 3500 and 1000 BCE, these tablets feature cuneiform script, a system of writing that involves pressing a stylus into soft clay. They document various aspects of life, including trade, law, astronomy, and literature. These tablets are crucial for understanding early human history, as they provide insights into social organization, economic systems, and cultural practices of the Sumerians, paving the way for later civilizations.
