Akkadian School Texts Introduction The Eduba Curriculum: The scribal school curriculum was divided into two phases of education, basic and advanced. A scribal apprentice would begin his training at a very young age in early childhood (5-7 years old). Only wealthy or elite families had the means to send their children to school. There is evidence of young girls being educated as scribes but the majority of students were young boys.

Akurgal In contrary to the long and relatively well-documented reign of Ur-Nanshe, that of his son Akurgal was short and poorly known. Only six gypssum inscriptions of his have survived. One of them (FAOS 05/1, Akg 1) states that he build the Antasura of Ningirsu, while the text of the others has been destroyed. On the basis of inscriptions from his son Eanatum, however, we know that during his reign Lagash lost some of the Guedina to Umma.

Introduction

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 23:14:02 +0000

Introduction Interest of the general Assyriological community in ancient mathematical astronomy focuses on the potential of securing the dates of unusual astral phenomena recorded on tablets with an absolute chronology starting from our own time and projected back by calculation. Given the Babylonian tradition of recording celestial phenomena, the chances seem great for finding texts that will cite a rare event such as a solar eclipse.

Archaeological evidence for the queens of Assyria The most spectacular find of treasures in Iraq during recent times was the Neo-Assyrian queens’ tombs discovered at Nimrud . In 1989-90 the State Organization of Antiquities in Iraq, while reconstructing parts of the palace of Ashurnasirpal II (883-859 BCE), came upon four vaulted burial chambers. In two of them, Tombs II and III, they discovered the extraordinarily rich burials of several Assyrian queens. The tombs held more than sixty kilogram…

The majority of texts come from the site of Uruk. The text corpus known from there represents a group of word lists exhibiting various degrees of standardization. The majority of these lists is thematic by nature, i.e., the entries in each list usually belong to one or various (sometimes related) topics. The list…

Scholars today have expanded the definition of the term to include parts of Syria, Turkey, and Iran, all tied to a uniquely Mesopotamian cultural sphere.

The One Hundred Most Important Cuneiform Objects Inspired by the BBC's A History of the World in 100 Objects we list the one hundred most iconic inscribed objects from the Ancient Near East, objects that we think define the field. We hope that this list will help to engender conversations about these objects, to highlight the importance of cultural heritage protection, and to broaden the appeal of the field. Not all of the text artefacts we list are monumental, or even extraordinary.

Early Dynastic IIIb The Early Dynastic IIIb period, ca. 2540-2350 BCE, (abbreviated ED IIIb) is conventionally described as covering the century before the defeat of Lugalzagesi by Sargon of Akkad, the founder of the Old Akkadian empire. While the end of the ED IIIb period can, therefore, be assigned to this particular event, the beginning of the ED IIIb period is far more difficult to define.

Enentarzid The successor to Enanatum II was Enentarzid, who previously was the chief priest of Ningirsu (Bauer pg. 473). Discussing the possibility that Enentarzid assumed the throne after the unexpectedly early death of the previous king, Bauer cites a letter (CIRPL 46) written by one temple administrator Luena to Enentarzid, at that time still serving as a priest of Ningirsu (Bauer pg. 474).

Enhegal The status of this first figure as the earliest known ruler of Lagash is disputed, as it is inferred from an economic text recording a sale of land by two men designated as Sidu and 'Enhegal lugal Lagash' (ELTS no. 20). In their treatment of the text, Gelb, Steinkeller and Whiting date the document to the Fara Period (ELTS pg. 70) However M.A. Powell (JCS 46, ppg. 99-104) disagrees over Enhegal’s status as ruler of the city, and further dates the text to the time of Ur-Nanshe.

He had him beheaded along with a co-conspirator Sanduarri king of Kundu and Sissu, and forced the nobles of the two states to wear the heads tied around their necks as they marched through the streets of Nineveh (CAH III/2 pg. 125).

Ešarra-hammat Ešarra-hammat was queen of Assyria, wife of Esarhaddon (680-669), mother of Ashurbanipal and Šamaš-šumi-ukin (died in 672). There are no references to her as a living person but the sources make it very clear that her loss caused deep grief for Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal and that she was remembered with great reverence. Quite extraordinarily, the date of her death in Addaru 672 is recorded in some Babylonian chronicles. Esarhaddon also built a mausoleum for her. This mausoleum wa…

The designs on seals were carved in intaglio, engraved into the seal so that when the cylinder was rolled over clay, the image stood up in relief. The cylinder could be quickly rolled over clay and left a long and unbroken impression. This gave it an …

Kutir-Nahhunte II

Kutir-Nahhunte II We know little about Kutir-Nahhunte's accession to the throne, in particular his background. The Babylonian Chronicle states that his predecessor Hallushu was deposed by his people, and although it does not specifically implicate Kutir-Nahhunte in the palace coup, there would be a certain irony in the change-over given Hallushu's own uprising against Shutruk-Nahhunte II (see Potts pg. 268-271).

Lagash II Calendar The month names for the Lagash II period at Girsu are almost the same as those used during the early part of the reign of Šulgi (Ur III month names). The main difference is that, in the earlier usage, there is a tendency to include the word ezem, which is usually excluded in later usage.

Assyrian palû

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 02:14:28 +0000
Assyrian palû Le système de palû est un outil de structuration narrative et chronologique non-calendaire attesté dans les inscriptions royales médio et néo assyriennes. Le terme akkadien palû (BALA en sumérien) signifie initiallement « mandat », « renouvellement de mandat », « règne » ou encore « dynastie ». A l’origine, un palû ne correspond donc pas proprement à un laps de temps uniforme.

The daughter of king Esarhaddon writes a letter and complains that she (Libbāli-šarrat) does not write to her. Sh…

Message The majority of the letters are concerned with the transfer of goods from one person or institution to another. This is described with the verb sum “to give”. The verbal form is always maru stem (/sum-e/ < sum-mu) and precative ha- / he2- prefix. Some derivations from this rule can be explained as scribal errors (he2-na-ab-sum-e in TCS 1 192 is overly correct and in principle an error).

Middle Babylonian Letters Introduction The Middle Babylonian period (1500-1000) is divided into two successive dynasties: The Kassite dynasty (ca. 1500-1150) and the 2nd Dynasty of Isin (1157-1025). 90% of all the tablets from the Kassite period, amounting to more than 12,000 tablets, come from Nippur. Nippur was a provincial capital and the seat of Enlil, the most important god during the Kassite period.

Return to Inheritance Documents Old Assyrian Introduction The archives excavated in the houses of Kaneš lower town belong mainly to Assyrian merchants settled there for business purposes during the 19th and 18th centuries BCE. This documentation contains relatively few contracts pertaining to family law, presumably because these were kept in Aššur. However, several wills have been found in Kaneš, suggesting the absence of specific rules of inheritance.

Assyrian palûs

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 24 Apr 2015 13:52:58 +0000
Return to palû and girru Assyrian palûs Le système de palû est un outil de structuration narrative et chronologique non-calendaire attesté dans les inscriptions royales médio et néo assyriennes. Le terme akkadien palû (BALA en akkadien) signifie initiallement « mandat », « renouvellement de mandat », « règne » ou encore « dynastie ». A l’origine, un palû ne correspond donc pas proprement à un laps de temps uniforme.

Englund, Archaic Bookkeeping [University of Chicago Press: Chicago 1993]) The earliest true script in man's history emerged at the end of the fourth millennium B.C. in ancient Babylonia, the southern part of today's Iraq.

It may come as a surprise that the earliest instances of writing in Mesopotamia come not from public decrees, religious incantations, or other translates of the spoken word, but rather economic texts recording quantities of commerical goods. By the time Sumerians were composing poetry in the mid third millennium BC, writing had already been is use for over five hundred years (Michalowski).

Proto-Elamite Proto-Elamite is the last un-deciphered writing system from the Ancient Near East with a substantial number of sources (more than 1600 published texts). It was used for a relatively short period around 3000 BC across what is today Iran. Proto-Elamite is a derived writing system originating from the Uruk invention of writing in southern Mesopotamia during the middle of the 4th millennium BC. Scribes in Susa in southwestern Iran took over a majority of the numerical signs as well as…

History of Decipherment of Proto-Elamite Proto-Elamite is still largely undeciphered, although a majority of the material has been abailable for study for more than three quarters of a century. Early work on proto-Elamite centered around comparing individual signs with signs from the neighboring cuneiform writing system. It has since been conclusively shown that a graphical similarity between signs from two writing systems is not proof of a semantical similarity.

Basic Semantic Classification of Proto-Elamite Signary

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 17:17:15 +0000
Basic Semantic Classification of Proto-Elamite Signary Basically, proto-Elamite signs can be divided into five groups according to their place and function in the sentence. Sentence is used here to denote each self-contained unit in a proto-Elamite text; the header, an entry, the subscript, or the total (see also Englund 2004, 105 figure 5.3a).

What is Proto-Elamite?

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 15:44:49 +0000
What is Proto-Elamite? The first indigenous writing system from Iran is called proto-Elamite, it was long thought of as a precursor to a (hypothetical) indigenous Elamite writing system. Proto-Elamite, as well as Linear-Elamite, remains largely un-deciphered. At present it is idle speculation to postulate a relationship between the two writing systems.

Seal inscriptions Brief cuneiform legends on seals begin to appear already in the Early Dynastic period (Ashm 1931.89a, 152) and become common in Akkadian times. The earliest inscriptions identified the seal owner’s name and perhaps some details of personal identity, generally father’s name and/or profession. For example: ‘Bēlī-kāšid/scribe/son of Aḫu-ma’ reads one Akkadian period seal inscription (VR 1981.43, Keel-Leu and Teissier 2004: 364, no. 63). Sometimes a short pronouncement of loyalty …

Text Typologies Introduction The number of surviving cuneiform texts from Mesopotamia has required that tablets be classified according to type or genre, sub-type or sub-genre, and further divisions within these categories. While there is some consensus in the field as to how these divisions should be drawn and labelled, it is generally agreed that typology is a useful hermeneutic and organisational device that can highlight shared features of texts that can help with their translation and int…

The decipherment of cuneiform The decipherment of Mesopotamian cuneiform begins with the discovery of the cuneiform inscriptions at Persepolis. The site was visited by Europeans from the Renaissance on, but it was not until the late eighteenth century that the first accurate copies of the inscriptions were made by a Danish adventurer, Carsten Niebuhr. A number of people had attempted to decipher these texts since they had been discovered, and the most important of these is arguably the German s…

The Fall of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, 630-609 BC The demise of the Neo-Assyrian Empire is somewhat obscure due to the patchiness of the textual sources, but some conclusions can be made. First, following the reign of Ashurbanipal the kingship of Assyria was held by 3 weak figures who ultimately held little or no sway in Babylon. Second, Nabopolassar’s rise to prominence in the mid-620s in Babylon would eventually lead to the demise of Assyria. Nabopolassar consolidated his power over Babylon …

The Late Uruk Period

The Late Uruk Period Introduction The earliest true script in man's history emerged at the end of the fourth millennium B.C. in ancient Babylonia, the southern part of today's Iraq. The signs of this script were impressed with the aid of a stylus into the still soft surface of clay tablets. Such clay tablets hardened almost immediately in the dry and hot climate of that part of the world. As a result of this hardening, and because such lumps of clay could not be reused, these documents from ea…

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 21:45:22 +0000
Return to Early Dynastic Rulers of Babylonia Urukagina The spelling of this ruler's name is disputed. Alternative readings are Uruinimgina and Irikagina. See Edzard, 1991 and Lambert, 1992 for arguments of each of these. It is possible Urukagina usurped the throne from Urtarsirsira, a distinguished son of Lugalanda. However Urtarsirsira continued to live in the first year of Urukagina's reign, an argument against a (violent) usurpation. See Bauer pg. 477 for a discussion of the issue.

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:40:22 +0000
Uruk (modern Warka) Introduction The site of Uruk, modern Warka, is located in southern Iraq about 35 kilometers east of the modern course of the Euphrates river. Settlement at the site began in the Ubaid period (5th millennium BC). In the Uruk period (4000-3000 BC) the site was the largest in Mesopotamia at 100 hectares. Uruk continued to grow in the Early Dynastic period (2900-2350 BC), reaching a size of about 400 hectares. After the end of the Early Dynastic period, the city declined i…

All Ur III receipts were summarized in accounts (in either the 'credits' or the 'debits' section). As a rule receipts were sealed. Unsealed receipts were presumably originally encased in a sealed envelope.

Royal Family

Royal Family Introduction Our failure to establish, beyond doubt, a genealogy for the royal family of the Ur III state remains puzzling. Several elite provincial clans, such as the Umma or the Nippur ruling families, are very well known. Very few texts, however, provide any clues as to the genealogy of the royal family; princes are referred to as "son of the king" only. Neither the third ruler (Amar-Suen), nor the fifth (Ibbi-Suen) is ever mentioned before he became king. Most contemporary ref…

Use of Seals The Origin of Sealing The earliest use of cylinder seals dates to the mid-fourth millennium, the beginning of the Uruk period, when seals were first rolled on hollow clay balls inside which numerical tokens were kept. Tokens representing the number, and possibly the type, of goods being counted were thus protected within the clay, which was then sealed all over its surface with a cylinder seal (Nissen et al 1993: 12-13). After sealing, the balls were sometimes impressed with signs…

What is Assyriology Unlike the cultures of ancient Rome, Greece, or Egypt, the ancient Near East has left few standing archaeological monuments that are capable of exciting the imagination of modern visitors.
