Mesopotamien Ton Altbabylonisches Fragment einer Keilschrifttafel
Ancient Mesopotamian clay cuneiform tablet dating to The Old Babylonian Period (between 1894 BC - 1595 BC). The artifact is cone-shaped with engraved cuneiform text running horizontally from the left to right in the front. Used characteristic notation consisting of wedge-shaped impressions formed into the signs is considered as the earliest form of writing. At the back, between the top and the base, there is a sharply sloping wall with an irregular surface on which are located perfectly preserved natural sediments. The lower part constituting the base is flat with a few shallow holes that do not have any effect on the excellent stabilization of the tablet.
Cuneiform tablets are important pieces of history being a testimony to the next step in the development of human civilization. In the past they were used to record administrative documents, personal correspondence, and also to preserve stories and myths.
