Babylonian Life and History

Babylonian Life and History Synopsis

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The decipherment of the clay tablets is not by any means easy, especially of the unbaked, which have recently been brought to England from old Babylon and Sepharvaim. The writing is complex and difficult, and in many cases the sharp edge of the writing has been sadly rubbed, while the wedge itself is partly or wholly filled in with dust and silica. When the tablets are dug up they are wet and brittle; when they dry, they often fall into dust or crumble away slowly.
