Cuneiform Writing\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For my museum exhibit I decided to do a Cuneiform writing tablet, as I wanted to keep exploring the topic after my last blogpost which I wrote completely about cuneiform writing and its origins. When writing my blogpost, I started wandering how long it took Sumerians to write a couple sentences back in the day, so I wanted to try it out for myself and realized how time consuming it is.  Writing in cuneiform over the clay took me around 3 and a half hours to finish just 6 sentences. I really enjoyed doing it as I felt like I was drawing the whole time and it was entertaining, but I can\u2019t imagine how they could deal with using cuneiform writing in their everyday life for simple things such as transactions. In total the project took me around 7 hours as I had to create an artifact description that matched the style of my project as well as the type of writing I chose. The background I chose represents Mesopotamia\u2019s geographical area as it was very rocky in some parts, it also allows the artifact to stand out while representing a connection to nature which is where they got clay from. Clay comes from rocks that have been in contact with air, water, or steam and that is why I chose to display my artifact that specific way and edited the colors of the photograph to enhance the details and give a more ancient vibe. I had worked with clay before which is something that worked as an advantage for me because I felt confident working on my artifact, and it turned out just as I wanted on the first try. Something that was hard for me was choosing the perfect way to display it as I was really doubting myself for that, but I believe it ended up looking good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
