The Roots of Knowledge and Education in Mesopotamia (2800-539 B.C)
Main Article Content
Abstract
In their documentation of school tablets, the ancient Sumerians approached writing with an educational mindset, reflecting their methods of teaching and instruction. This is evident in some of the earliest written texts from the city of Uruk. By the early third millennium BCE, schools had begun to spread throughout Sumer, and learning to write became an established practice taught in a systematic manner. These texts represented the earliest recorded expressions of human thought, encompassing various forms of knowledge and expertise, whether scientific, professional, or practical.
