Question

Describe the "envelope”, the seal, and the early Mesopotamian writing process, and discuss expectations of record-keeping. Identify the issue being kept "on file,” and comment on what this reveals about Mesopotamian society in 1500 BC and the primary ways it compares to modern society in these respects.

Answer 1

The "envelope" is an old vessel, of sorts, that housed the last controlling on prosecution from between two men. The decision of this case is the confirmation of how vital composed records were getting to be since the judgment depended on composed evidence. Once the table was engraved two of the judges looked into it and afterward squeezed their seals to it to demonstrate that it was valid.
