Babylonian Map of the World (6th century BC), also known as Imago Mundi, is oldest clay tablet map written in Akkadian.

The tablet describes the oldest known depiction of the known world.

It was discovered at Sippar, southern Iraq, 60 miles north of Babylon on east bank of Euphrates River.

This map not only serves as a historical record of the region's geography but also includes mythological elements, providing a comprehensive view of the ancient Babylonian worldview.

Today, the Babylonian Map of the World is housed in the British Museum, where it continues to be a valuable artifact for understanding the ancient past.

Details of the map:

1. “Mountain” (Akkadian:šá-du-ú)

2. “City” (Akkadian: uru)

3. Urartu (Armenia) (Akkadian: ú-ra-áš-tu)

4. Assyria (Akkadian: kuraš+šurki)

5. Der (Akkadian: dēr)

6. Swamp (Akkadian: ap–pa–ru)

7. Elam (Akkadian: šuša)

8. Canal (Akkadian: bit-qu)

9. Bit Yakin (Akkadian:bῑt-ia-᾿-ki-nu)

10. “City” (Akkadian: uru)

11. Habban (Akkadian: ha-ab-ban)

12. Babylon (Akkadian: tin.tirki), divided by Euphrates

13. Ocean (salt water, Akkadian:idmar-ra-tum)

Nergal, Babylonian god of the underworld, who fights with a +5 shield that casts a death spell aura in a 30′ radius (Diesel / David S LaForce, AD&D Deities & Demigods, TSR, 1980) Unlike many of the historical gods, Nergal remained part of some D&D pantheons in later editions

Found new hyperfixation, which is apparently adaptation of the oldest ship in human history. Read the epic overnight and holy did I just read the original soulmate story? My "soulmate lover" ass have been blessed 😭😭 Prophetic dream, made for other, instant connection, seriously why did I just know this story now?

Glad to know that I am not the only one who thought "Kimi no Nawa!" when Gil and Enkidu sensed each other presence from miles away and process to make crate that became everyone's problem. Yeah "a beautiful view indeed" (sorry Faldeus but your suffering has just begun, and somehow that crater is the least hazard one). Looking forward for FSF anime (and Narita goddamnit first Izaya then I have to wait for one more update from you T_T)
