Written on Mud: Some Brick Inscriptions from Mesopotamia
Abstract
This contribution comments on the five building bricks, inscribed with cuneiform text, belonging to the Ancient Near Eastern section of the archaeological collections of the Leuven University (Belgium). These bricks date to the periods of Amar-Suen (c. 2046-2038 BC), Shalmaneser III (858-824 BC) and Nebuchadnezzar 11 (605-562 BC) and are remnants of building projects commissioned by these Mesopotamian kings. All of them were studied and are presented here with the help of images made with the Portable Light Dome technology.
