THE HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON


The Cultural Language of Ancient Babylon


People in Ancient Babylon are very illiterate. Many messages were often written on scribes. Sometimes the Ancient Babylonians would write on a wet clay tablet and then bake it under the hot sun. The Babylonians first started writing with pictures (pictography) but now they use cuneiform. The Ancient Babylonians had trouble drawing curved lines, and that is how cuneiform was developed in their country.
