9 Jan 2270 Jahr v. Chr. - The discovery of clay tablets.

Beschreibung:

In the Ancient Near East, clay tablets (Akkadian
ṭuppu were used as a writing medium,
especially for writing in cuneiform, throughout the Bronze Age and well into the Iron Age. Cuneiform characters were imprinted on a wet clay tablet with a stylus often made of reed (reed pen). Once written upon, many tablets were dried in the sun or air, remaining fragile. Later, these unfired clay tablets could be soaked in water and recycled into new clean tablets.
