ancientart: The Oldest Cookbook in the World, clay Babylonian tablet, inscribed in Akkadian. It dates to ca. 1750 BC (the time of Hammurabi) and contains the oldest known cooking recipes. This tablet includes 25 recipes for stews, 21 are meat stews and 4 are vegetable stews. The recipes list the ingredients and the order in which they should be added, but does not give measures or cooking time - they were clearly meant only for experienced chefs.

This ancient Sumerian sculpture (The Burney Relief, c2,000 - c1,950 BCE) is often labelled as the Goddess Inanna, both online and in some books. However, from the symbols (her wings, taloned bird feet, and the screech owls) it is obviously Lilith. Those are Lilith’s attributes, NOT Inanna’s. Actually, according to the stories written down by the Sumerians themselves, Lilith tried to usurp Inanna’s home and throne.They are rivals, even enemies. They are most definitely NOT interchangeable. Here endeth the lesson.
