📖 **Script and Society: The Social Context of Writing Practices in Late Bronze Age Ugarit**

"_It combines archaeology, epigraphy, history and anthropology to present a highly interdisciplinary exploration of social questions relating to writing at the site, including matters of gender, ethnicity, status and other forms of identity, the relationship between writing and place, and the complex relationships between inscribed and uninscribed objects._"

"After a thorough examination, we may conclude that the item’s amateurish preparation and local origin are suggestive of a scribal exercise. The use of an available mould that was not suitable for a tablet, the child’s fingerprint on the reverse and the corrected mistakes in the script all point to an inexperienced scribe."

"the first one started some 5,000 years ago when the unification of Upper and #LowerEgypt occurred and the Uruk Kingdom in modern Iraq collapsed.

The second event, some 3,000 years ago, took place in the eastern Mediterranean and is associated with the fall of the #Ugarit Kingdom and famines in the #Babylonian and #Syrian Kingdoms."

Back then, there were not many people on the planet.

I think, green energy by itself will not solve our problems...
