TABLETS 1000 YEARS OLD

A number of Sumerian tablets, writ.
ten at least as early as 1000 B. c.,
have been translated by Prof. f. T..
Kelly of the department of Semitic
languages at the University of Wis
eonsin. OF about thirty cones and
tablets translated, almost all were
lists of animals and men.
The Sumerian tablets are difficult
to read, as the writing is q comblna-
ton of wedges used in different ar
engagements to form words, and the
grammatical construction is not like
that of any other language. Most of
the tablets are dated by correlating
them with certain well-known events
such as the year a certain city was
devastated or the year a king was
crowned. The contract tablets are
mostly lists Of commodities, such as
the following:
"One COW (received) from Garkua.

for the donkey of Naniasi; sixteen
sheep exchanged for the donkey of
