The world’s first “documents” were clay tablets. Sumerians pressed cuneiform into wet clay with a reed stylus—then dried or baked them. These records reveal the politics, economy & religion of Mesopotamia and beyond.

Earliest writing we know of dates back to around 3000 BC and was probably invented by Sumerians, living in major cities with centralized economies in what is now southern Iraq. Earliest tablets with written inscriptions represent the work of administrators, perhaps of large temple institutions, recording the allocation of rations or movement and storage of goods. Temple officials needed to keep records of the grain, sheep and cattle entering or leaving their stores and farms and it became impossible to rely on memory. So, an alternative method was required and very earliest texts were pictures of items scribes needed to record (pictographs). During its 3000 year history, cuneiform was used to write around 15 different languages including Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Elamite, Hittite, Urartian and Old Persian. Writing, recording of a spoken language, emerged from earlier recording systems, 4th Millennium BC. First written language in Mesopotamia is called Sumerian. Most of early tablets come from Uruk, in southern Mesopotamia, and it may have been here that this form of writing was invented. These texts were drawn on damp clay tablets using a pointed tool. It seems scribes realized it was quicker and easier to produce representations of such things as animals, rather than naturalistic impressions of them. They began to draw marks in the clay to make up signs, which were standardized so they could be recognized by many people. From these beginnings, cuneiform signs were put together and developed to represent sounds, so they could be used to record spoken language. Once this was achieved, ideas and concepts could be expressed and communicated in writing. Cuneiform is one of oldest forms of writing known. It means “wedge-shaped,” because people wrote it using a reed stylus cut to make a wedge-shaped mark on a clay tablet. Letters enclosed in clay envelopes, as well as works of literature, such as Epic of Gilgamesh have been found. Historical accounts have also come to light, as have huge libraries such as that belonging to Assyrian king, Ashurbanipal. Department’s collection of cuneiform tablets is among the most important in the world. It contains approx. 130,000 texts and fragments and is perhaps largest collection outside of Iraq. Centerpiece of collection is the Library of Ashurbanipal, comprising many thousands of most important tablets ever found. Significance of these tablets was immediately realized by Library’s excavator, Austin Henry Layard, who wrote : "They furnish us with materials for the complete decipherment of the cuneiform character, for restoring the language and history of Assyria, and for inquiring into the customs, sciences, and . . . literature, of its people." Decipherment of cuneiform began in 18th Century as European scholars searched for proof of the places and events recorded in Bible. Travelers, antiquaries, and some of the earliest archaeologists visited the ancient Near East where they uncovered great cities such as Nineveh. They brought back a range of artifacts, including thousands of clay tablets covered in cuneiform. Scholars began the incredibly difficult job of trying to decipher these strange signs representing languages no-one had heard for thousands of years. Gradually, cuneiform signs representing these different languages were deciphered thanks to work of a number of dedicated people. Confirmation that they had succeeded came in 1857. Royal Asiatic Society sent copies of a newly found clay record of military and hunting achievements of King Tiglath-pileser I to four scholars: Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, Edward Hincks, Julius Oppert, and William H. Fox Talbot. They each worked independently and returned translations that broadly agreed with each other. This was accepted as proof that cuneiform had been successfully deciphered, but there are still elements that we don’t completely understand and study continues. © Trustees of the British Museum #archaeohistories

Agencies charge $10K/month to build personalized cold email systems with Clay + Smartlead. One of our users showed me how to do the same thing with ChatAE for $49/month. So, I recorded a demo video going over how to: 👉 Generate hyper-personalized emails truly at scale 👉 Sync them directly into the first touch of a Smartlead sequence 👉 Launch campaigns way faster backed by the best account research agent, without the messiness of Clay tables, Zapier, or spreadsheets Volume-based outbound is dying. But outbound that leads with a well-researched POV, a real hypothesis, and true personalization built around that still works. And going into 2026, it’s the ONLY kind of cold outbound that works.

🔥 Vivek Ramaswamy Schools Reporter Who Tries to Maintain the January 6th Narrative "You asked me yesterday about would I be...a little bit more responsible about how we talk about the events of January 6 and whatever happened? And I specifically asked about the number of undercover FBI agents who were in the field. And you said, Christopher Wray has repeatedly said that there were none. That's what you told me. Well, I went back to specifically the testimony...That's just not what he said. Christopher Wray repeatedly, when asked and pressed by Clay Higgins, a congressman from Louisiana. He repeatedly pressed him, and Christopher Wray said, for all kinds of reasons, he's not going to state how many federal agents or whether there were federal agents in the field or whether there were informants in the field. And I think, in your case, I don't think that that was an intentional gotcha, but I think that this becomes part of the actual narrative, part of the baseline narrative, that it then misleads the public."

MacFarlane: There is a new inquiry into the Trump Mar-a-Lago classified records matter… According to this new inquiry, some of the recently revealed documents that were shared with the committee potentially indicate that Trump showed a classified record on a flight from Florida to Bedminster in June 2022. They also suggest that there was potentially a classified map in that record and that records were either seen or shared by Trump outside the presidency that were so highly classified that only six people in the American government had access to them.

The World’s Oldest Song — Performed by Peter Pringle This haunting hymn to the Hurrian goddess Nikkal is the oldest known piece of music with both lyrics and musical notation — inscribed over 3,500 years ago on clay tablets from the ancient city of Ugarit (modern-day Syria). Written in the Hurrian language using Sumerian cuneiform, the piece has been studied by scholars for decades. The version you hear follows the interpretation of archaeomusicologist Dr. Richard J. Dumbrill, considered one of the most thorough and musical reconstructions. Performed live by Peter Pringle: – On a long-necked lute of his own design, inspired by the Turkish bağlama and Persian setar, tuned F–C–F. – With sampled reed pipes based on 5,000-year-old silver pipes from the Sumerian city of Ur, played using a foot-controlled pedalboard. No overdubs. No edits. Just one live take — bringing the sound of the ancient world back to life.

“The issue of tribe and religion is something people need to stop in politics because, in this country, no tribe or religion buys bread or fuel cheaper than others. We are all suffering. People who bring tribe into politics are often those who are not qualified.

In Angola, especially in the southern region such as Namibe, there is a powerful and meaningful beauty tradition: women (particularly from the Mucubal tribe) care for their hair using a mixture of red clay, butter, and natural herbs. For them, it’s not just about appearance, it’s about identity. The clay is finely ground, mixed, and then shaped onto the hair into thick, artistic braids. It serves many purposes: protecting the hair from the extreme African heat, locking in moisture, and symbolizing social status, age, and even stages of life. Hair becomes a “language,” telling stories without words

Many faces of Papua New Guinea. Among them are the Asaro people, often called the Mudmen, known for painting their faces white with clay and maintaining a deep cultural connection to pigs, one of the most important animals in their society. The white clay masks and face paint were historically used to intimidate enemies, creating ghost-like figures emerging from the mist. Over time, this striking appearance became a powerful symbol of identity, storytelling, and resilience. Pigs are more than livestock here — they represent wealth, social status, bride price, and ceremonial power. Together, the paint and the pigs reflect a culture where survival, symbolism, and tradition are tightly woven into everyday life.

Thousands of documents were quietly collected as evidence in the criminal cases connected to Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful associates — yet most people have never seen what was inside them. These files reportedly include victim testimonies, flight logs, contact books, court exhibits, sealed affidavits, and financial records that investigators used to build cases against Epstein’s network. Some documents were released, others heavily redacted, and many remain sealed to this day. What makes these records disturbing isn’t just what they reveal — it’s who appears in them and how slowly justice moved. These documents continue to raise serious questions about influence, protection, and accountability at the highest levels. Follow - @CyberHuntss #EpsteinFiles #JeffreyEpstein #CourtDocuments #HiddenEvidence #viralvideos The Epstein Files reveal one of the most disturbing scandals involving wealth, power, and silence. From private islands to elite connections, this case raised global questions that still remain unanswered. What was hidden for years is now slowly coming to light. In this video, we break down verified information surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the individuals linked to him, and the systems that allowed everything to continue unchecked. This documentary focuses on publicly available records, investigations, and confirmed reports. Follow for more real-life investigations, court documents, and hidden truths. Over the years, investigators and courts uncovered documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein that referenced numerous high-profile individuals — names that immediately drew global attention and controversy. These files reportedly included flight logs, contact lists, court exhibits, depositions, and sworn testimonies where powerful figures were mentioned in different contexts. Importantly, being named in documents does not automatically imply wrongdoing, but it does raise serious public interest and unanswered questions. What continues to fuel debate is the lack of clarity — which names were fully investigated, which were redacted, and which may never be publicly addressed. These files remain one of the most discussed and disputed records in modern
