The Astarte Tablets

The Astarte Tablets are ancient clay artifacts from the Middle East, believed to be records or administrative documents from around 2000 BCE. They are inscribed with cuneiform writing, one of the earliest forms of written language, and likely served for trade, inventory, or governance purposes. These tablets provide valuable insights into early Mesopotamian societies, their economy, and daily life, helping historians understand how early civilizations organized and documented their functions. As archaeological finds, they are crucial for studying the development of writing and record-keeping in human history.
