The Strange Cuneiform Tablet of Kishar Zigan VII

This curious slab comes from around 4150 B.C.E., and belonged to Kishar Zigan VII, who was at the time of its writing believed to have been living with his parents, Kishar Zigan VI and Gilnind Hashur-Zigan.

Addressed to Zigan VII, the translation reads:

“Greetings, this is a tablet from Bauninsheg Shimsusa III writing in regards to your chariot’s extended warranty. The warranty is up for renewal. I’d like to congratulate you on your thousand shekel instant rebate and free maintenance and horse change package for being a loyal customer. Write me back at 14 Shenki-Nuesh street, Dilbat, Sumer, for details. May Enlil bless your travels.”

A strange and primordial culture indeed.
