Susa Tablets

The Susa Tablets are a collection of ancient clay tablets discovered in Susa, modern-day Iran, dating back to around 3000 BCE. They are written in cuneiform script, one of the earliest writing systems, and provide valuable insights into the administrative, economic, and social aspects of early Mesopotamian civilization. The tablets contain records of transactions, land ownership, and trade, highlighting the complexities of urban life and governance during that period. Their discovery has greatly contributed to our understanding of the development of writing and the organization of societies in ancient times.
