The rations were given out by the Temple of Bau in the ancient town of Girsu in the south of modern-day Iraq. The text tells us that adults received a ration of 30 or 40 sila (pints) per month, while children got 20. Cuneiform is the oldest form of writing in the world, and with our blog post you can learn to write it! Curator Irving Finkel teaches you how – using just a lolly (popsicle) stick and a piece of clay. Link in bio. You can also buy ‘cuneiform’, written by curators Irving Finkel and Jonathan Taylor, in our online shop – find the book via the link in our bio. 🔎 Clay tablet recording distribution of barley rations.
