Talk:Kudurru

from VfD:

This page was created by an anon contributor and filled out only with the word 'faggot'. This is not an encyclopaedia article and, thus, should be deleted. --Neigel von Teighen 22:09, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Odd -- I could swear I remember having read an article about the Babylonian boundary stones of the same name somewhere here. It doesn't show up in the article history, though, so I guess it should be deleted. --Ben 22:14, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete due to CSD: vandalism (#3). --Deathphoenix 01:50, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete ASAP, vandalism. Wyss 03:56, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Votes since vandalism was replaced with real article.
 * As Ben noted, these were engraved stones created by the Kassites in Mesopotamia to record land grants and land boundaries. They are the only remaining artworks from their period in charge of Babylonia from the 16th Century BC to the 12th Century BC and examples are in the Louvre and the National Museum of Iraq. Encyclopedia Britannica has an article on kudurru and I have created an authentic article for Wikipedia to replace the vandalism which was rightly speedy deleted. Keep the rewritten article.Capitalistroadster 09:39, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Plural and meanings
Would it be appropriate to specify that the Akkadian plural was kudurrêti, and that the word also meant “offspring”? (According to Georges Roux in his book La Mésopotamie, Paris: Seuil, 1990, p. 290 and p. 516.)
