It was 3100 BCE, and the temple located in Jemdet Nasr in Sumer received a load of barley.

A little-known fact: you can also send Dumb Cuneiform as a curse tablet, like the previous owner of this ring...

1) A stranger than fiction Roman ring mystery thread: this enigmatic Roman gold ring was found in a ploughed field near Silchester in 1785. The square bezel has a portrait of the pagan goddess Venus, inscribed backwards SUNEV for use as a signet ring by the owner. Curiously...

The clay dried before I could finish it, but here's a column of the Gilgamesh epic I've been working on, copied from the famous 'Flood Tablet' from Nineveh, now in the British Museum. The cuneiform is roughly the right size, but certainly not up to Ashurbanipal's standards!
