Tomography of Babylonian clay tablet with sealed internal tablet; Dr. David Owen, Cornell University. The internal tablet is imprinted with Cuneiform script that describes quantities of materials that were used in an accounting taxation system developed in early human societies. The internal script reads, "1 bushel (by royal standard) and 40 liters of barley, the deficit from the field of Iridu, Lubaba received in the year the city of Urbilum was raided" (the 2nd year of king Amar-Suena, 2044 B.C.E.) See "Attachments" section below to dowload a movie of the Babylonian clay tablet (.wmv).
