Jen, tell me a little bit about what some of these tablets describe with this ancient world, not from academia's lens, but what do some of them talk about?

Jenn DeyoGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I think of, here's a really good one that's come out over the course of the last couple of years.

Jenn DeyoGUEST
The Hymn of Ashnuna, the very first poet was a woman, a priestess who was, you know, singing laments and telling stories about, you know, her patron god.

Jenn DeyoGUEST
I would say that the majority, the high majority of these texts that have been found are often, they're almost all clerical and they're almost all accounting and related to measurements and goods and sales and identifying, you know, who they're selling things to.

Jenn DeyoGUEST
Like for instance, you know, we think of Hammurabi as the first law abiding, um, progenitor to how we understand law now.
