Confirmation of a Grant by Shamsh Shum Ukin — In this clay tablet, Shamash-shum-ukin confirms a grant which was previously made by Ashur-nadin-shumi. The royal seal on this clay tablet is not an original impression, but a man-modelled copy. It depicts the Babylonia king fighting a oryx antelope. From Babylonia (modern-day Babel Governorate, Iraq), Mesopotamia. 670-650 BCE. (The British Museum, London).

Associate Professor of Neurology and lover of the Cradle of Civilization, Mesopotamia. I'm very interested in Mesopotamian history and always try to take photos of archaeological sites and artifacts in museums, both in Iraq and around the world.
