[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 8129446, member: 115909"]Oh wow that's old! Hmm I don't think many people are familiar with cuneiform script unless they are Professor's of Sumerian history or something like that. Or maybe archeologists. I just wasn't sure if maybe there were notes or something from the archeologist whose estate you bought it from with more information about it. Alot of the tablets like those I've seen tend to be records of stockpiles of things like wheat, barley, pigs, sheep, etc., so maybe it's something like that? If it's something else it could potentially have academic value. I believe that tablet is from the times of Hammurabi and his law code is famous for the whole "An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth" thing. The writing looks very familiar to it. [ATTACH=full]1416023[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
