RMJR317D–Akkadian is an extinct East Semitic language that was spoken in ancient Mesopotamia. The earliest attested Semitic language, it used the cuneiform writing system, which was originally used to write the unrelated Ancient Sumerian, a language isolate. The language was named after the city of Akkad, a major centre of Mesopotamian civilization during the Akkadian Empire (2334-2154 BC), but the language itself precedes the founding of Akkad by many centuries. Hundreds of thousands of texts and text fragments have been excavated to date, covering a vast textual tradition of mythological narrative, l

RM2B01D33–Iraq: Detail of Akkadian cuneiform wedge writing, c. 2500 BCE. Cuneiform script is one of the earliest known forms of written expression. Emerging in Sumer around the 30th century BC, with predecessors reaching into the late 4th millennium (the Uruk IV period), cuneiform writing began as a system of pictographs. In the three millennia the script spanned, the pictorial representations became simplified and more abstract as the number of characters in use also grew gradually smaller, from about 1,000 unique characters in the Early Bronze Age to about 400 unique characters in Late Bronze Age.
RM2HGWDC3–Cuneiform tablet: private letter ca. 1632 B.C. Babylonian Small enough to be portable and durable when dried, clay tablets allowed for the transmission of information across time and space.
