Cuneiform from the Ancient Near East

Caption

This cuneiform tablet, just over ten centimetres wide, describes a ceremonial ritual. The lines of text are clearly visible from a distance. A closer look (right) reveals just how badly worn the surface of the tablet is. AI helps to identify the signs despite this.
