Assyria, Texts, Loan, MessageAbstract
Reading cuneiform texts and studying ancient Iraqi languages is of great importance to learn about the unique civilizational achievements that were achieved in Mesopotamia. The cuneiform texts dealt with various economic, social, legal, scientific and political topics. Therefore, these cuneiform texts are of great importance in knowing much of what the Mesopotamian civilization was hiding in
various aspects of life. Through official correspondence conducted with the General Authority for Antiquities and Heritage and after obtaining official approvals from the excavators who headed the excavation committee for the four excavation seasons (1999-2002), a group of cuneiform texts was quarantined. Six texts were copied and reproduced. Of course, they have economic implications. Text No. 1 includes aletter, as it does not differ from the Assyrian letters in writing and wording. Text No. (2) included a court case. Texts (3-4-6) are loan contracts, and Text No. (5) includes a mortgage contract for two people. All texts were written in the Neo-Assyrian dialect, with the Sumerian language used for notation.
