EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Mesopotamia - a Cuneiform tablet dating back to the 20th-19th century BC. The tablet, made of clay and measuring 6.8x5.4x2.3 cm, is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The tablet originates from the Middle Bronze Age-Old Assyrian Trading Colony, most likely from KAoltepe, an ancient city located in northern Cappadocia, central Anatolia. It was part of a vast network of trading settlements established by merchants from Ashur (in Assyria) during the early second millennium B. C. What makes this particular tablet intriguing is that it contains a private letter written by a merchant named Puzur-Ashur regarding a business dispute with his nephew. This glimpse into their personal lives offers valuable insight into the economic and social dynamics of that time period. Cuneiform writing was one of humanity's earliest forms of written communication and played a crucial role in recording transactions and administrative matters within ancient civilizations like Sumer and Akkadia. The intricate carvings on this clay tablet represent an extraordinary example of this script's artistry. With its historical significance and archaeological value, this photograph serves as both an educational tool for understanding our past and as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found in Mesopotamia - often referred to as the cradle of civilization.
