Google Cultural Institute on UNVEILING Ancient Sumerian Scents



Through the collaboration of the Palace of Arts and the Royal Asiatic Society of Georgia, a virtual exhibition has been created and published on the website of the world’s largest cultural institution, Google Cultural Institute. The exhibition features a clay tablet that is over 4,000 years old. This tablet is a unique example of ancient writing, and it is likely the only one of its kind in Georgia. The tablet dates back to the time of the Third Dynasty of Ur (2132-2024 BC) and contains a text in the Sumerian language. The document is a record of income, detailing the purchase of aromatic substances by the state warehouse from various individuals.  You can view the virtual exhibition at Unveiling Ancient Sumerian Scents  which includes credits recognising the contribution of the Royal Society of Georgia.
