The contents of the 4000 year old letters were not much different than those of our days, talking about the economy, inheritance, love and complaints, he said.
“The cuneiform written mud tablets were placed in small mud envelopes after it was dried,” he said.
Biçer said that this form of correspondence was conducted between Anatolia and Mesopotamia and stressed that the envelopes indicated the importance attributed to privacy back in those days.
