Texts from Ugarit

Texts from Ugarit are ancient writings discovered in a city located in modern-day Syria, dating back to around 1400 BCE. These texts include religious hymns, myths, and royal records, offering valuable insights into the beliefs, language, and culture of the ancient Canaanite people. Written in cuneiform on clay tablets, they help us understand early Semitic languages and the development of Bronze Age civilizations in the Near East. Overall, these texts are crucial for studying the origins of biblical stories and understanding ancient religious practices.
