			Another aspect of the clay-tablet-format that intrigues me is their supposed longevity. The oldest records of literature known to the world are clay tablet from Mesopotamia, and I think it's amazing that we today can read translations of Sumerian and Assyrian records. There are records containing medicinal knowledge, laws, religious text, magic texts, a testimony to these ancients civilizations entanglement with informational communicational technologies. It is important to note that these tablets implied power and control, and on should always be sceptical to documents that governs people freedom of movement and so on.
			<br><br>
			A great place to get familiarized with this ancient "wisdom" are the "instructions of Shrupagg" >> https://earth-history.com/Sumer/instructions-%20shuruppag.htm << For some context these are instructions given from some mythical character to another in Sumerian Lore(religon orwhatever), and can be understood as a predecessor to the 10 commandments present in the abrahamic religions.
			<br>
			>> https://earth-history.com/Sumer/proverbs.htm << is a collection of Sumerian proverbs also highly reccomend.
			Some of my top pics. from these 4000 year old wisdoms:
			*You should not pass judgment when you drink beer.
			*You should not drive away a debtor: he will be hostile towards you.
			*You should not have sex with your slave girl: she will chew you up (?).
			*Wealth is hard to come by, but poverty is always at hand.
			* He who drinks too much beer must drink water.
			*The fox, having urinated into the sea, said at the whole of the sea is my urine.

			<br>
			The notes on the tablets are encoded with intentionally contextual and ephemeral quotes/statements. This says something about how letter arranged in a system, does not convey meaning by itself, for that it needs cultural, societal and political context. just like how we can't fully understand the "ancient bar joke" the eternal notes are situated and intrapersonal.
