Talk:Amarna letter EA 365

The "Ancient Internet"
It was mentioned to me that Clay tablet letters were the internet of the time. They were "telephonic", as many originally in Mesopotamia, gave family information, or commercial info, but some also required a reply, to answer questions originally asked. In the Amarna letters,frequent requests were made for the Archer force, to protect, rescue, or enforce.Mmcannis (talk) 22:13, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Side 2, (Reverse), Line 15
As can be seen by the KC Hanson website, the original translation is "Now Behold"--For line 15 (it (the cuneiform) uses only part of the whole line). What is intriguing about Side 2/ Reverse, a piece of straw can be seen in the clay, which only shows the "earthiness" of the method of making the clay-mixture for the tablet.

It should be noted that the scribe has completed the Obverse, Side 1, and has laid out TWO paragraphs of topic. As he starts the REVERSE side, he says (kind-of in a shout: "Now, Look (here)"........{"see what the heck is going on around me", (my areal conditions) ). I personally think that--it is cute that Biblical words are used (these are 1350BC year pre-biblical times). But culture is culture. And so the words segue should be understood. The scribe is there, starting the Second side, and he /(she) is getting ready to say what they (or the Town-Leader, Governor) really wants to say. !!!! And the tablet is small, and a concise topic statement is expressed.Mmcannis (talk) 22:34, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
