Unpublished Cuneiform Texts in the Iraqi Museum from the Ancient Akkadian Period

Section: Article

Abstract





The research includes four unpublished cuneiform texts from the Early Akkadian period (2370-2230 B.C), These texts were obtained from the Iraq Museum, Studied, translated, and analyzed, revealing that they were economic texts. The first text was a livestock census of a group of ewes and rams, as well as a group of jars owned by the palace. The second text recorded one sheep and two jugs of beer as entries for a storehouse. The third text included a scribe's record of two types of flour of different weights received for the city of Akkad. The fourth text was a confirmation of the measurement of two koors of sesame.
