Detail from the tablet found at Ziyaret Tepe. Inscribed with Cuneiform characters, the tablet consists of a list of women's names, many of which appear to be from a previously unknown language (John MacGinnis)

Unknown Ancient Language Found on Clay Tablet Only a small part of the tablet has been decoded. It seems to be some sort of warning.
It reads: "B*W*RE*HI*L*RY"

I see it’s all uppercase ( lowercase fonts had not been invented by then):
“THIS DON’T MEAN NOTHING. LET THE SUCKERS WHO FIND IT SCRATCH THERE NOODLES”
Note the faulty FR type grammar - “DON’T” instead of “DOESN’T” and “THERE” instead of “THEY’RE”!

Woman were likely chattel. Ergo, it is possibly an inventory of such property for the royal household?

Well, it's obvious even to the most casual observer. This is the first attempt at a universal language, following the collapse of the tower of Babel ... ;-)
