    That tablet is talking about the allocation of beer, not wheat.

    Which is more appropriate since those fuckers pretty much only talked about beer, barley, and sheep.

      In their defense they hadn’t invented literature yet. Eventually Enheduanna had the idea to talk about the gods.

      But it is fascinating to know that writing began as a means of accounting and logistics and then Eventually spread to ideas like stories.

      Beer and bread are pretty similar. Beer from that time is just watery dough you leave out for too long and let ferment.

      So sumer was kind of like rural Australia, Wales, and Scotland.

      Beer, food, and their current love interest.
