Takes us to the Sumerian archaeological sites in present day Iran, Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere, to see the influence of cuneiform, the oldest known writing system in the world. Its development brought about a cultural renaissance,and Sumers rise in the Mesopotamian region. The influence of these Sumerian wedge characters did not end with the fall of Sumer, but also provided a literary foundation for civilizations that followed. Cuneiform influenced Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian writing, evolving over time from rudimentary pictures to standardized symbols.

Near Eastern Languages and Cultures graduate student Sara Brumfield recounts her experience working at the UCLA Library's Center for Primary Research and Training, where she described and translated two collections of cuneiform tablets: the Edward A. Dickson Cuneiform Tablet Collection (ca 2100-562 BCE) and the Cumberland Clark Cuneiform Tablet Collection (ca 2250 BC).

At long last, you can write cuneiform numbers just like the babylonians. Step-by-step instructions will show you how to form each stroke from numbers 1 to 20. Pause, rewind and playback as many time as you'd like to get the hang of it. Special thanks to David Helfand, Celtic and Middle Eastern musician for his "Beyond the Sea of Reeds" song, "Scrolls of Compassion." This is a video made specifically for the FAS Learning Technologies project, Medulla Algebra I Mesopotamia on virtual worlds.

This example demonstrates a bone graft taken from the calcaneus. After harvesting an autograft of cancellous and cortical bone, the next trephine core is taken from second metatarsal intermediate cuneiform joint at Lisfranc and replaced with graft.

Full video: river-valley.tv The cuneiform font collection covers the Basic Latin (ASCII) block and glyph subsets for Akkadian, Ugaritic and Old Persian with current total number about 600 cuneiform signs. An extension for other languages is planned (Neo--Babylonian, Hittite, etc.). All cuneiform sign forms visually correspond to uniform "Neo--Assyrian" shapes. Fonts are produced in two steps. With METATYPE1, the package developed by the authors of the Latin Modern and TeXGyre fonts, we can generate hundreds (or thousands) glyphs to assembly a Type 1 font with many glyphs, but with no predefined encoding. The older variant of the cuneiform font collection, made 10 years ago, consists of several separate Type 1 components. A relative small number of mostly simple and repetitive elements is described by METAPOST macros in three variants. In the second step we construct OpenType using FontForge, the free font editor, created by George Williams. Cubic and quadratic approximation of outline curves are allowed because of a simple design of cuneiform wedges. Therefore both TTF flavored and PostScript (CFF) flavored formats may be generated. We use FontForge scripting facilities, it is also possible to write commands in its internal textual format (SFD), directly or with some pseudo-automatic tools. Unfortunately, the glyph repertoire does not correspond to Unicode because more than 300 glyphs do not have their Unicode numbers, and, on the other hand, my fonts covers only about 20 <b>...</b>

Try your hand at these higher numbers. You will be introduced to different wedge impressions, angles of writing and how to read a real tablet from the CDLI. You can then compare the script against your own. There were two number systems, the decimal system and the base 60 system. The latter system was used for astronomical observations. The decimal system was used for everyday counting. For example these numbers were used to count the number of livestock sacrifices for temple deities, the number of fish caught for the day, and daily food rations for canal workers. The numbers they used sometimes reached the hundreds of thousands. Use these numbers wisely for they were sacred. Only the religious priests, priestesses, accountants, scribes and rich young male student were allowed to learn the ancient writing system.

Now that we've written 1-20, let's attempt the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50. We'll save 60 for later since the writing scheme for numbers after 60 is completely different!

If I can do this, you can do this. Follow each step to form the signs for beer (kas) and bread (ninda). These are two frequently encountered signs in sumerian tablets, often found in accounting tablets regarding rations for messengers. The sumerians loved to brew beer and their bread was unleavened, often resembling round flatbreads, indian chapatis, and chinese scallions today. A sumerian might have invited friends over for kas and ninda on a social occasion.

The Metzger kids make cuneiform script. Going by the location the Bible says Abraham was born (Genesis 11), Abraham was a Sumerian. Mesopotamia, at that time, contained both Babylon and Sumer. Ur of the Chaldees where the Bible said Abraham was born, was not in in the area of Babylon but was in Sumer. There are two or three "Ur" cities mentioned in the bible and were also discovered through archealogical digs. The particular one, Ur of the Chaldees mentioned in the bible as being where Abraham was from, wasn't in Babylon it was in Sumer.
