To write, the Mesopotamians pressed the ends of cut reeds into wet clay, making the distinctive, cuneiform wedge shaped marks, the basis of their written language. Thousands of these baked clay tablets survive, allowing historians to glean a unique insight of the Mesopotamian life and society and, after many trials and tribulations, were translated.

We should make sure that there are copies of these tablets. The probability is close to 1 that Daesh/ISIL will destroy them.

“The probability is close to 1 that Daesh/ISIL will destroy them.”

A great deal has been destroyed over the centuries in that region, and a lot has been preserved.

Who EXACTLY is DAESH/ISIL for the latest destruction? No one seems to know.

But I see a few guarantee those who brought DAESH around, will be eventually destroyed by the same (DAESH).
